sos Broadway, Aug. 7.
The death of Mrs. Mary NJ. Pam re-
moves woman who for over quarter of
century has been a benefactor to many
Portuguese immigrants who came to
Alameda County. In many parts of the
State are families that are indie bted to her
Tor their first start in life in California.
Her name is also revered in far-off
Portugal and IN the Azores.
Thirty years ago Mrs Pam came to
HaywardS. She was then a young girl,
but in accordance with the customs of her
countryfolk she married early, and with
her husband she established a hotel. Its
character soon became known, and for
twenty-five years the majority of Portu-
guese who have settled in California have
come direct 10 the Pam headquarters.
Many OF them who have come out 10
relatives here have been supplied with
cards directing them to Haywards, and
have found the place although they
could not speak an English sentence,
From the house of the deceased these
emigranIs have gone forth to many parts
OF the State, supplied with all the neces-
sary information to enable them to make
q tart IN life.
The funeral was largely attended and

work was done in Santa Barbara under

WHEN Mr.. LEWIS ENTERS.

Two Doors Admit The Visitor, and the
Senate Chamber Is Impressed.
The character of the present Congress is
J. Hamilton Lewis. He is a character not
to be comprehended all at once. He grows
upon you. 1t takes some time to realize
how strange he is. His extravaganza of
dress and his attitude first attract atten-
ton. When he enters the House, no
matter what is doing, every eye instinc-
lively turns toward him, like the eyes of
the audience in theater turn to the lead
ing man when he breaks through the
throng of minor actors.
Mr.. Lewis visits the Senate frequently.
There is nothing more dramatic than his
entrance into the presence of that august
body. He never by any chance enters
through one of the side doors.
The Senate may be engaged in a heated
debate or deeply absorbed in bewilder-
ing schedule of the tariff bill. Suddenly
a sense of something happening comes
upon every one. People in the galleries
look down and the interest of the Senate
is arrested. Both the swinging doors of
the main entrance at the head OF the
center aisle, facing the Vice President,
swing open and Mr.. Lewis appears. The
doors close behind him and he stands
| for a moment under the archway, his hat
and gloves held in one hand in front of
| him, and looks toward the Vice Presi-
| dent with a slight inclination of the
| head, as much as to say, Do not let me
| interrupt you. Then he looks with q
sweeping glance to the right and to the
| left, slightly inclining his body. He
| then straiShtens himself up and sweeps
| the galleries with glance. By this time

greeting is TO shift his hat and gloves

same time inclining his body gracefully

side, as the ideal cavalier trails his plume

1t would be i'm possible for him to enter
into any presence without attracting at
tention, and apparently he has no inten-
ton of trying to do so.
With his fluffy hair and whiskers, both
parted in the middle, he looks like some
of the portraits of Captain John Smith of
about the time when he is supposed to
have excited the Imagination of the i'm
questionable Indian maiden. Instead of
the glittering trappings OF knight, his
dress is display of the highest skill of
