Ben Wade on Davis.

When Ben Wade of Ohio was the
presiding officer Of. tho senate, he used
occasionally to call some senator to take
the chair and relieve himself by walk
ing up and down in tie lobby which
runs back of the senate chamber Once
while thus walking he was o7ertaken
by certain carpetbag senator from one
of the southern states, who occupied the
identical chair that jefferson Davis had
used while a member of the senate.
Walking along by the side of Wade, he
rubbed his back YEARLY and said:
=" Wade, these senate chairs are the most
uncomfortable things I eve saw. sly
back is positively blistered from sitting
in mine. I" Wade looked at him for q
moment, and, as he turned away. NUT
tered, Davis left enough brains in the
seat Of that chair TO blister the backs of
two or three s1ch men as you are. -

TIE LOST WAS FOUND.

The House Number Looked Strange Be-
cause the Transoni Was Tipped.
If any one had told him he was drunk,
he would not have resented it, but
would have made an effort to maintain
his equilibrium and dignity long enough
to explain that he was only little
oozy WOODY. Fe realized that he lived
at 206 Irvington street, and that his
residence was on the right hand side as
lie wabbled along homeward. The un-
certain light of early dawn, combined
with the blear in his eyes, rendered it
necessary for him TO stop in front OF
every house and gravely brace himself
against the ratings until he could focus
his eyesight on the numbc..
Finally he identified his house, but
after arguing with himself for couple
of minutes he came to the conclusion
that he was. just WOODY enough to make
mistakes possible, so TO be absolutely
certain he balanced himself against the
front fence and studied the number on
the transom. Instead Of 2O6 he saw 500
He rubbed his eyes and looked again,
but the number had not changed. It
was still 509. Then he wondered how
it happened that lie had got on the
wrong side Of the street and three
blocks too far cut, made a zigzag across
the street and started back, but before
he had walked three blocks he came to
the end of the street.
The weary pilgrim was bewildered
he couldn't understand it, but getting
his directions shaped his course MP the
street ON the light side aud kept on IN

from every possible point of view, even

Ii HUNG CHANCES COZ
FIN.

Ii Hung Chang prepared
for all emergencies of life and
death when he left Pekin to at
tend the coronation of the car
at Moscow. He took with
him not only a doctor and
seventy-nine other attendants,
but also a coffin ready to re-
ceive the body of a man of his
birth and rank in case he
should die during his mission.
The coffin is Of the most elab-
crate workmanship and is de
corated profusely with gold fl
cures and clusters of precious
stones. 1t COST $4,000. Two
of Ii Hung Changes attend
ants have no other occupation
than to care for this coffin
throughout the mission.
Whenever the party stops
long enough in a city to take
apartments the coffin is stood
up ina room next to the bed

in a box no European has had
a look at it. What little is
known Of this unique bit o.
baggage was told by q Chinese
paper soon after the mission
started for Russia.

THE FRAM'S BEHAVIOR.
Remarkable Power Of Resist.

London, August 2s.-A dis
patch 10 the Chronicle from
Tromsoe, signed by DR.. Nan
sen left the boat. The dispatch
says:
1.-The ice pressure was never
so severe as upon several &C
casions before Dir. Nansen left
us during July 1896. We were
regularly exposed, however, to
violent pressures, cansed by the
changing spring tide. The
Fran was once or twice lifted
from six to nine feet. Her
bottom became visible as il
rested on the ice. So little
effect did this have on
the Fram's timbers that the
men continued their 5lumbering
undistarbed. An easier Arctic
exploring expedition one could
hardly imagine. The principal
work was to take regular oh
servations, sleep and eat. The
health Of the men was perfect
during the entire expedition
There was not a sign of scurvy
apparent among any of the
men. When all efforts to ad
vance the best through the ice
by the force of steam or q pro.
cess OF varying failed, it was
found that gun cotton mines
proved the boat means of shat
tering the ice. AS rule very
high ice foes prevailed, SO ex
tensive that their termination
could not be described even by
The Telescopes. Often it looked
like a hopeless task breaking
our way out of the ice Hoe. bu
with the liberal use of explos
ives and owing to the peculia
construction of our boat we fin
ally succeeded.

which sat Senator Jones. They
were discussing the attitude of

Is IT ANY WONDEI7p7

10 Il n ~ " O1 D151lY
Three years ago Chauncey
al. Depew, railroad magnate
and republican chief, made a
speech, in which he said: Fifty
men of these United States
have itin their power, by reason
of the wealth they control, to
come together within the next
twenly-four hours and arrive
at an understanding by which
every wheel of trade and COM
merce may be stopped from re
volving, every avenue Of trade
blocked, and every electric key
struck dumb These fifty men
can paraIyze the whole country
for they control the circulation
of the currency; and can create
panic whenever they will"
This expression was a very
frank one, for Mr.. Depew. He
knew whereof be spoke and
told the truth. Isit any wonder
that there should be an upris-
ing of the people to secure such
legislation as will protect them
against sach q contingency as
that mentioned by the orator
It may be argued that these
fifty men will never attempt tc
