WASHlNG7 ON LETTER.
legislators and the Vehicles They Keep.
Retirement Of Senator Call-Sen-
ator Vests fish Story.
Especial Correspondence

Many Of the senators have very hand
some traps in which they ride to the
capitol or make the rounds of the de-
partments. Senator Mcmillan, for in
stance, drives in a fine open wagon,
with bright red wheels, and Senator
Wolcott has one of the handsomest vic.
torias in the city. Other senators, like
Mr.. Chandler and Mr.. Bacon, are con-
tent to perambulate on bicycles.
The conveyance which Senator Turpie
affects, however, is worthy of column
description Where he finds it heaven
only knows. It is a coupe which looks
as if it might have done duty in the
time Of George Washington. It's former
black enamGl has turned to rusty
shade of brown, its doors are shaky and
it's wheels are anything but round. The
driver is al old colored man, who wears
a derby hat and Prince Albert coat,
while the horse appropriately completes
the outfit 1t is black horse, very bony
as to ribs and very high as to legs and
with tail as stubby as field of corn
after harvest time. In this vehicle Sen
ator Turpie sits deep in thought and
just as contented as Cinderella in her
fairy carriage.
Call AID lis Cuban Speeches.
The defeat of Senator Call removes a
picturesque character from public life
For 18 years Mr.. Call was in the SEN
ate, and for the Is years there was
scarcely day upon which he did not
make a speech about something.
Cuba was MS favorite theme. On this
subject he could wax eloquent-ever-
lastingly eloquent, in fact-at any mo-
rnent. The Post says he has filled col
umns and columns with his remarks in
euIogy of Cuba and in denunciation of
Spain. The trouble was, however, that
no one would ever listen to his speeches.
He was without doubt the most uninter-
esting talker in the senate, and nearly
every one of his speeches contained the
complaint that he was not given the
proper attention.

1T MAKES HEALTH CATCHING.

Robert G.. Ingersoll was once uttering his
we'll known peculiar notions In company, and
alleging mistakes In the ordering Of this
world, when a minister present asked the coll

changed. The reply was, ~ would have made

No one can deny that this would have been
most desirable change-and il In one that

A Dog Under His Arm.


writer in The Post is authority for
the statement that Nh. T. Sanford Beatty
has set a new fashion. The time when
women first took to lapdogs is so far
back that history fails to record it, but
till Mr.. Beatty led the way Washington
men did not pay visits with small dogs
under their arms. Mr.. Beatty has a small
and extremely valuable dog, of which
he is very fond, and several times of
late he has paid visits with that dog
snugly tucked under his left arm the
while. He Goesn It let it run about. He
holds it, and already half dozen men
have invested in dogs, with the inten-
tion Of following his example.
More men come to Washington to see
Senator Mason than any other senator
except Senator Hanna They all want
him TO go to the White House with
them, and he does it. They have become
4uainted with his genial and helpful
disposition and frequently take advan-
tage of it. The jolly, big hearted and big
Drained junior senator from Illinois is
so popular in his state that constituents
in every portion write him asking for
favors. All these letters are answered,

& New Woman and Her BABY

The friends of a certain professional
woman here in town tell story on her
which they call a huge joke. There is a
baby III the professional woman's fam

a doting grandfather, who came to see
it very early one morning recently. AS
he came near the house he saw the baby
carriage standing near the side door.
The house doors were still locked. No
body was stirring. The grandfather
looked into the carriage, and there, to
his amazement, lay the precious baby.
1t had actually been left out all night,
for, as the mother explained, she had
been busy all the evening and supposed
nurse had baby, and the nurse had been
busy all evening and supposed the moth

those duties was to know just where
and how her baby was by night Or day.

STRUCK EVANSTON.

The Mckinley wave of prosperity has
struck Evanston in very tangible shape,
The town council last night, through F.
A. Noigt OF this place and George w.
Gobel of Rock Springs, sold the town
bonds TO the amount of &c. 900 to Rock
Springs capitalists, These bonds have
been on the market FOR more than TWO
years without a bidder. Eastern capi-
talists offered to take them il they were
made payable in gold. This the council
refused to do, and instead issued their
personal notes to pay for he new water
works which they contracted for in an.
ticipation of the sale of the bonds and
had 70 carry through, sale or no sale.
The new canal and reservoir are about
completed and give Evanston the finest
where. There is about eight miles o.
canal, including two and a half OF fun,
ing and 2,400 feet of underground pipe
This gives the town two big connected
reservoirs, the new one fed by the new
canal, the other by the pump, which
will hereafter be run only two or three
months in m%idwinter, thus saving fully
$3.50 per month for the balance of the
year. The bonds were sold ut par, and
bear 6 per cent interest.-Evanston cor.

Prot. Nelson's Late Bulletin Attracts
Attention in Germany.

The following is a translation OF the
review Of Prof. Nelson's bulletin in the
Leipsic Botanical News:
The list OF plants before us contains
much that is worthy OF attention. 1t
will be remembered that the Yellow
stone National park lies in the north.
west corner OF Wyoming, and that the
mountain chains broken through in the
south, west and north, by the tributaries
OF the Platte river are separated from
each other by broad plateaus covered
with sagebrush., To catalogue the flora
OF this region has been one Of the tasks
OF The experiment station, and the list
contains near 1900 species. The major,
ity the writer himself has collected in
the years 1894 and 1895 in extended ex,
petitions on heights that were 5000
meters above the sea. He has discover
ed there the richest fields, although the
writer does not deny for them the usual
importance and saw many species only
in certain considerable heights, yet ne
comes to the conclusion that exact plant
zones can here be bounded only for
small districts and are much Influenced
by moisture n exposure.
Spring appears late in the Laramie
plains, which is self-evident in the case
OF heights Of nor than 1000 meters.
But few plants bloom in April. The
principal month for blooming in the
plains is June. In July and August.
spring moves into the mountains.
From all this we conclude that the
fora Of Wyoming offers much OF inter-
est for biological investigation. and in
this respect we hope to hear from the
Wyoming botanist from time to time.
The bulletin will be sent free Of cost by
addressing the Director Of Experiment
Station, Laramie. Wyoming. Many

A MODEL DEPARTMENT.

In u Saturday article relative to the
drug firm Of Eggleston & Desmond we
neglected % say anything in reference
10 their prescription department.
This is one OF the greatest features OF
their store. There are few people who
realize the great responsibility resting
upon the party to whom they entrust
the compromising of their prescriptions.
The wrong bottle has often brought sor-
row into a family. A little more or a
little less from The right bottle, has
caused many a physician to believe he
was ordering the wrong remedies, where
if his prescriptions had been properly
compounded he would have secured the
expected results. the patients health re-
stored, and the doctors reputation vim
dicated. The compromising Of medicines
Is a science. and requires careful train
ing and study so that he may fully I'M
derstand the doses of the different drugs
and their action. But he must be able
to test each and every article in this
department for its mechanical virtues
and purity and without this training
and study it cannot be done.
h prescription department of this
store is in charge OF Mr.. Desmond, who
is a graduate Of the Philadelphia college
Of Pharmacy, which is II guarantee thai
every prescription entrusted to their
care will be carefully and accurately
compounded.

NJ. N. Grant Fully Satisfied With the
Result of Recent Negotiations.

Mr.. NJ. N. Grant returned from New

a deal a few days ago for the sale of the
Douglas p%lacers, as already reported.
Asked as to the particulars in relation
to the deal Mr.. Grant said:
Il nave no details to make public re-
gnrding the proposition, but may say
that am perfectly satisfied with the
successful issue of my eastern trip.
There are of course, many minor de-
tails TO be arranged before a formal
transfer of the property can be made.
The papers and stock in the company
have to be transferred, etc, and other
things settled up to the satisfaction of
all concerned. Until these matters are
adjusted | will not be in a position to
say much" .
Mr.. Grant says that eastern capital is
very chary OF seeking investment in
some of he western states, particularly
those of free silver p%roclivities. So far
as Wyoming is concerned, however.
they seem to take an active interest in
its development and appear t have an
intimate knowledge of everything thai
is going on in the way of new enter
prises, and particularly development
