HEARD IN WASHINGTON.
Stories THAT Are Good Enough to
Bear Repetition.
How Senator woicott Surprised Lady
Correspondent-AD Dude Victimized
by His Tailor--A Geography
Lesson In Indiana.
Especial washington Ietter.l


Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, does
not deny the Story, and it is probably
true one. When he was a young man he
was, as now, attorney for several large
railway corporations. He was regarded
by the gentler sex as n confirmed bach
elor, proof against all the advances and
charms of matrimony. A lady in the
southern part of the state desired n
pass to Denver. She wrote friend,
who was well acquainted with Mr.. VOL
colt, asking her to request pass from
him, and like all women, she wrote n
postscript, which in this instance was as
follows:
"P. ST. wish you would also send me
one of those p. d. corsets; the kind you
wore when was last In Denver. l think
they are just too lovely for anything"
Her friend being in very much of n
hurry, and momentarily forgetting all
about the postscript, indorsed a request
on the back and forwarded the letter to
MIR. Wolcott. A reply came promptly
as follows:
Dear Madam-I inclose a pass, as re-
quested, for your friend Miss -. would
send her the p. d. corset, but have for
gotten her nunfoer. Very respectfully,
N 'I. o. WOLCOTT."

Public Ownership,

The city of Belfast, Ireland, has
been making a large profit on the gas
works controlled by it. Last years
profit was f67,377. 1t has been decided
to lower the cost to consumers, al
though the present price is ridiculous
ly low according to American stand
ards. Hereafter gas will be sold for go
cents per 1000 feet instead of 65 cents,
and there will be a discount of 5 per
cent to 20 per cent upon the amount
consumed; all this, too, with coal at
$500 per ton. This information m
from United States Consul Taney's re-
port to the state department.

Special Correspondence.
The tariff bill is now out of the sem
ate and house and its fate is in the
hands of a conference committee. No
agreement was reached as to the time
allowed for debate, but the measure
will be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The first meeting Of the conferees of
the senate and house was held Thurs
day at 10:4O a. M. in the room of the
senate committee on finance.
The democratic members of the con.
ference remained less than ten min
utes. They withdrew upon the init
nation of the republicans that they
desired an opportunity to reconcile
their differences before consulting with
the democrats. 1t was recalled that
this privilege had been conceded to the
party in power in 1890 and 1894, and
the democrats did not demur to tho
proposition.
The conference will meet daily at
$3.50 o'clock a. M, and continue in SEES
