this paragraph accused Mr. Reed of being

"Now, why didn't he say was an un-

a chuckle, when he showed the paragraph

"Who is its" says the speaker.
The stenographer does not know.
"Well, tell him to come up says the
speaker "We'll see what he wants.
A well dressed man is ushered in two
minutes later. He is New England
man, a Republican, who has called to pay
his respects. Mr. Reed receives him with
the same courtesy and consideration that
he showed to the member of congress,
draws him into conversation about his
own affairs, quickly finds some topic in
which they have mutual interest, and at
the end of five minutes sends the visitor

He goes when the bellboy brings another

with whom the speaker has confidential
relations-legislative relations, for person
ally Mr.. Reed has few intimates. This
member has come to consult with the
speaker about che business in prospect,
and with him Mr.. Reed holds long con-
fldential conversation in low tone.
Meantime two cards come up, and to one
visitor he sends word that he must come
at some other time. To the other he sends
his stenographer to learn what his bust

The speaker presides through all of this,
kept constantly alert by the changing con-
ditions At 2 O'Clock the house goes into

surrenders the chair to one of the members
and returns to his room.
On the way he is stopped by two mem
bers, one of them with bill whose posi-
bilities he wants to discuss with the
speaker, and one with a request for
transfer from one committee to another.
Mr.. Reed gets away from these two as
quickly as he can. He does not tarry in
his room; but, finding there is nothing OF
Importance for his consideration there, he
goes down stairs to his den. This is

Here no one may disturb him as he eats
his luncheon of bread and milk. Here,
too, he frequently comes to read in the
afternoon-often to look up authorities on
parliamentary matters.
At $3.50 O'Clock today he has an engage

of his committee room in the morning.
He is waiting for Mr.. Reed in the speaker S
room. Together they go forth to investi-

agrees to remain where he is. The speaker
returns to his room, disposes of another

A ONCE FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT
He Excited Anger by Calling New Yorl

He Excited Anger by Calling New York
"a City of One Street."
Antonio Gallenga, the former famous
Times correspondent, died recently at
his residence, in Monmouthshire. He
had reached the ripe old age of 85. He
was member Of an old Piedmontese
family, and was educated at the Univer-
sity Of Parma Leaving Italy in conse-
quence Of the political events of 1881,
he made his way after a time to the
United States, but returned to England
in 1889. Later he was charge d'affaires
for Piedmont at Frankfort, and from
1854 to 1854 was a member of the Pied
montese and Italian parliament.
Signor Gallenga was best known in
this country from his connection with
The Times, which lasted from 1859 to
1888 In the interest of that paper he
repeatedly travelled through Spain and
Italy and through the Spanish Antilles
and South America. George Augustus
Sala said Gallenga must have written
thousands Of leaders on foreign subjects
for The Times, and in his Life" tells
Ine Ioil0Wlug story:
For many years aallenga has been a
membeR OF the Athen&um, club, and yet
not very long since. when was asked
by the pert young editor of weekly
paper to give him list of eminent jour
nalists whose portraits he might have
engraved, and | mentioned the name of
Antonio Gallenga as that of one of the
most gifted and most distinguished
members of my craft, the pert young
editor stared tine and said he did not
know who Gallenga was. 1t was Gal
lenga who gave such mortal offense dur
ing the American war by calling New
York a city Of one street.
Gallenga was the author of many
books" Italy, Past and Present, ""The
Blaekgown Papers. "Scenes from Ital-
ian Life, - History of Piedmont, :"
"The Pearl of the Antilles, Italy Re-
visited, 1.-TWO Years of the Eastern
Question, The Pope and the King" !"
"a Summer Tour in Russia. and many
others. He had been teacher of Ian
guages ip bis young days, and his edi-
tion of *Marietti's g italian Grammar"
ran into some 10 OF 90 editions. Many
of Galienga's earlier books were pub
lished under the assumed name of IL.
Mariotti.
One Of the best known stories about
him is that concerning his visit, along
with Sala, to King Alfonso XII. They
had travelled during the night, and on
arrival at their destination were sud :
denly summoned to breakfast with the
king. Rub the cold had been intense,
and the water was all frozen, and they
were in evening dress, with good deal
of coal dust on their shirt fronts. Indeed
they looked more like sweeps than re-
spectacle journalists.
Suddenly happy thought struck Gal
lenga. did you ever try candles to wash
with?" he asked. And suiting the
action to the words he began rubbing
bis face and hands with one. Sala fol-
lowed his sgample, and both managed
to get off considerable quantity of
griminess. They entered the royal sa-
loon, had truly royal breakfast, and
the condition of their complexions did
not excite the slightest notice. West
