Gallinger and Whist.

Senator Gallinger plays whist He is
not Il devotee. He does not study Caven
dish from early morn until dewy eve,
according to Washington Post reporter,
nor does he spend his idle moments in
calculating the benefits which may re-
suit from leading deuce. Once a week,
and once week only, he seeks con-
genial company and loses himself in the
intricacies of the game.
Whist, however, is not Gallinger's
recreation. He delights in the pension
bill and in smashing civil service He
knows more about pension bills than
Spofford has ever learned about books
or Newton knew about mathematics.
Like the father who recognized his
prodigal son affair off, Senator Gallinger
can spot pension bill when it lifts its
topmast above the horizon He knows
the cut of its jib. When it bears down
upon him, he can tell at glance
whether it proposes to increase a pen
sion or smuggle some one into the pen
sion paradise like blockade runner.
Woe be unto it if it is "A piratical bill
launched to loot the treasury. Then
Gallinger fires broadside, and it sinks
in scuttled helplessness to the bottom of
the files.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Poetry and Civil Service Reform In the
House-A Story Of Eckels-Mr.
Gallinger and Whist.
Especial Correspondence.l

The recent speeches on the subject of
tivil service reform developed some re-
markab1e orators. Men who would new
sr have beer suspected of being wits
have attempted to embellish their
speeches with humorous sayings ard
quotations, and sober minded men, who
ms a rule abhor that which is light and
trivial, have descended to it in their
efforts to abuse and ridicule the merit
system. The speeches recently made OH
the floor of the house, if compiled in
one volume, would make remarkable
collection. Representative Brownlow of
Tennessee referred to the "vociferous
and loud mouthed pledges of certain
president for reform of the civil serv-
ice" and reminded President Mckinley
that in his consideration of these
pledges he should have remembered an
old negro rhyme and have understood
that he was not Obliged to stand by
"dishonest" civil service reform be-
cause he was committed to an honest
one.

A Senator Who Really Works.

This does not often happen. Calm
gers heart is kindly, and his good ma
ture is proverbial. The pension bill
most generally finds warm spot at his
hearthstone. The senators and the old
soldiers know this, and they load Gal
linger down with pension bills. So it
happens that when Gallinger awakes
in the morning he finds pension bills
piled up high at his bedside. He break
fasts, lunches and dimes off them. He
carries his pockets full of them, veri
table Santa Claus distributing pensions
to the poor and needy When night
time comes and he lays his tired head
upon his pillow, he dreams of huge
stacks Of pension bills awaiting his
consideration There are enough bills
now in the pension committee to line
road from here to the north pole. They
are the pavement of Gallinger's path
TO glory
And in the brief periods when Gal
linger can escape the all engrossing
embrace of the pension bills he deals
blow at tho civil service law. What
with pensions and attacks on civil serv-
ice reform he has his hands full. He be-
longs TO the small coterie of senator's
who really work.

A Story Of Eckels.

Now that Mr.. Eckels is no longer
comptroller of the currency, says writ
er in the Washington Post, l hope am
not indiscreet in telling little story
about him. Two years ago he went on
coaching trip through Switzerland
with Mr. Ben Gable of Illinois and a
party of Americans. One afternoon the
coach stopped in the midst Of the most
wonderful of Alpine landscapes. Every
body sat in silence, entranced at the
beauty of the scene. The ladies of the
party murmured their admiration Mr..
Eckels seemed the most deeply affected
of all, and everybody waited for him to
speak. Wrapped in reverie, he seemed
to have forgotten his surroundings. At
length he spoke.
IL never saw anything, he said sol
emily, like those fish we had for
breakfast - CARL SCHoFIELD.

Street Railroad Progress.

Pennsylvania avenue, the greatest of
American city thoroughfares is just now
the scene of notable street railroad con-
struction. An underground electric sys-
tenn is being installed. AS the roadbed
is being rebuilt the heaviest rails known
for street car traffic are going down.
They weigh SO pounds to the yard and
are 60 feet long. Sixteen stout men tug
and strain to carry one of these rails
from the curbstone to its place in the
roadbed. After the rails are down the
ends are welded so that they will be
continuous from end to end and will
carry the return current. The promise
is that when finished there will be no
street railroad in the world to compare
with this

Thy Last Sleep" The casket and the
chancel were literally buried beneath
the splendid floral pieces sent in by
sympathized with the poor young
man who had obeyed the call of coun-
try to duty and had perished by the
wavside in a strange land.
The service was most impressive. In
his remarks Dr. Birnie referred feel
ingly to the sad death of the soldier
boy. Tears came to the eyes of many
in the audience. In the church at the
time, besides the regular congrega-
ton. were. The audience of the Y. NJ.

to attend the services; the Red Cross
Society, President and Mrs. Dole,
Minister of Finance Damon and wife,
Attorney General Smith and wife,

sui Boyd, and many others.

outlined the war was not on, but to
bring the interest up to the very mo-

numbers were added to the original
ten. Hardly had Dewey won his bat

his life, and pictures of all his battle
ships were published in this series.
