Looks Tired and Unwell,

The Honorable NJ. s Quay was seen in

of feeling unwell. The Senator Is very
pleasant faced gentleman, beyond the half
century mark with an attractive person

and in the mustaohe that covers his upper.
lip and nearly covers his set of white
teeth. He makes one feel at homo when
engaged in conyersltion with .him and Is
teyoid Of that austere manner one would
expect after reading some Of tho newspaper
criticisms of him.
He certainly needs rest from the Sem
ate, but will uuJ take 1t while the tariff Is
under discussion. We can understand
after seeing tho man and holding con.
vcraatinn with him why he has such hold
upon the people of Pennsylvania, whom
he SO ably represents in the United States
Senate. His callers daily are legion and
his spare moments arc few and far be.

that political officer, Mr.. McGee, was

The Mullah Of Powindah is well
known to the British Indian author
tiles. He is notorious fanatical priest,
and has always been hostile to British
Influence. Owing to an attempt which
the mullah recently made to stir up
rebellion he was expelled from British
territory. This caused him to be de-
serted by his own people. and he has
since lived in Arghanistan, and is un-
derstood to have been actively plotting
against the British. He took part in
the attack upon the British camp at
Wano in November, 1894.
