SMALL SOLONS.
Diminutive Men In Congress and Their
Peculiarities.

The smallest men in congress are Sem
ator Chandler of New Hampshire and
Representative Wheeler of Alabama
Fighting Joe" Of Confederate fame.
MIR. Chandler is go years old and Gen
eral Wheeler is 81, but both have slen-
der, boyish figures, and affect somewhat
youthful dress in wearing trim, natty
little sack coats
General Wheeler's hat is the most re-
markable piece of headgear seen in the
house. 1t is not derby, nor Fedora,
nor the broad hrimmed black covering
that many southern statesmen wear.
The dashing old cavalry leader departs
from all congressional customs in the
selection of his top wear, which is an
ordinary black hat such as boys in the
country select.
He has his special trademark in the
way of creasing it. 1t is creased round
and round TO fit the shape of the head
and rest closely upon the crown, after
the fashion that country boys affect
when the new Of the hat is WON off ant
it has been ont in the rain once or twice
and had the style taken out of it.

A TRICK THAT FAILED.
UnsuccessfuI Attempt to Get Rid of q
Baby.

BaDy.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
recently by a handsomely dressed wom-
an to have child placed in the St
Vincent's Home and Maternity hospital
at Pittsburg without the payment OF
the board money which is demanded
from people who can pay.
The woman went to the home III
cab and was accompanied by nurse
and man, supposed to be a physician.
The infant was carried by the nurse,
who handed it, together with an envel-
ope supposed to contain the sum agreed
upon to nun. The mother superior
hastily tore open the envelope and
found some slips of paper instead OF
greenbacks.
Believing that the whole thing was a
scheme to get rid Of the child, the
mother superior had the baby handed
back to the nurse, and after an embar-
RAISING silence the people drove away.

HIS HEART STOPPED.
A Boy Watches Another Boy Drown, Then
Topples Over Dead.

Harry Flynn, 10 years old, was
drowned in Lake Michigan recently in
full view of half thousand people who
thronged the shore at Lincoln park,
Chicago. The spectacle of the frantic
efforts of Matthew Roche, the boys
uncle, trying to save him, was given
additional sensation when Albert Mat
tarl, one of the spectators, fell dead,
probably from the effects Of the excite
nent.
Flynn lived in West Lake street and
with his uncle, who resides in Halsted
street, had gone rowing on the lake.
When their little boat was a mile out
on the water, just of Menominee street,
they tried to exchange places and were
capsized Roche managed to keep his
head above water and gripped the stern
Of the overturned boat. Twice he pulled
| his nephew out of the water and pushed
| his body on top of the boat, but each
time the little fellows struggles land
ed him back among the waves, until he
disappeared The tug Leslie put out
and rescued Roche.
Albert Mattarl, aged 20, 1876 NORTH
| Albany avenue, was one Of those at
| tracted to the waters edge. He wa'
| standing at the foot of Garfield avenue
| and when the excitement was at 1T
height he pitched forward on the sane
dead. Heart disease is ascribed as TIT
direct cause Of his death. -Chicag'

Rursfin1 With Dollars.

Assistant Treasurer Jordan, in charge
of the subtreasury at New York, recent

The insecure condition OF the vaults

the predatory visits of thieves and

vaults have been forced out of plumb

SENATE AND HOUSE.
Friends of the Nicarau&a Canal Bill Unable
to Hold a Quorum.

to Hold a Quorum.
WASHINGTON, February 3.-After a
brief parliamentary struggle in the Senate
late this afternoon the friends of the Mic
aragua canal bill were unable to hold a
quorum and sit out the obstruction to that
measure. Mr. Villas Dem, Wis., had con-
tinued his speech in opposition, this being
his third successive day. At 4:3O p. m. a
cross-fre of motions to adjourns and calls
Of the Senate began. The friends Of the
bill resisted announcement, while the oppo-
sition sought to close the session and give
Mr.. Villas rest from his protracted effort.
The parliamentary contest continued at
intervals for half an hour, when all bust
ness was suspended by the absence of a
quorum and refusal TO adjourn. The
friends of the bill finally gave up hope of
securing a quorum and yielded to an ad-
journment.
The contested election case Of Cornell vs..
Swanson. from the Fifth Virginia district,
occupied the attention of the House to-
