The Washington Post, under the

The Washington Post, under the
head of Capitol Chat" says:
"Senator Bate, of Tennessee, is
an old Confederate officer. He was
private, captain, colonel, brigadier
general and major general, and was
dangerously wounded three times.
Many a time, in camp and on field,
has he joined with his men in the
stirring strains of ''Dixie." Yes
terday morning Senator Bate was
riding to the Capitol in street car.
As the car neared the Baltimore u
Ohio depot, the music of a band
was heard, and as the car stopped
the ringing notes of "Dixie" float
ed in the air. 1t was "Dixie" as
interpreted by a quartette of typic-
al German musicians, but it was
"Dixie" nevertheless. Senator
Bate dropped the newspaper which
he had been reading and pricked up
his ears to catch the familiar tune.
He turned in every direction, gaz-
ing out of the car windows, anx-
ious apparently to locate the music,
and when he finally saw the Ger
man tooters blowing away for dear
life, a smile of satisfaction came
over his face, and he kept his eyes
upon them until the rapidly moving
car left them in the distance.

POWER OF MoRMONiSM.
Statistics Seem to Indicate that 1t Is
Unbroken in Utah.

Opponents of the Mormon church
have been stirred to renewed activity
by several recent events. Statistics
also seem to show that the general
growth of the church has been acceler.
ated rather than otherwise of late. At
the October conference President Will
ford Woodruff demanded that Nor
mons should unite in politics. At that
time the demand was set down as mere
ly the talk of an old man, but the No
vember election seems to show that
large element among the Mormons still
entertain deep respect for the revela-
tions of church elders. In Salt Lake
City John Clark, the candidate for
Mayor of the citizens, but very de-
vout Mormon, and an undisputed
church candidate, was elected by a
small majority. The gentle vote and
the Independent vote were divided
among three candidates-all gentiles.
Mr.. Clark was supported by the poll
ticians whose names are always asso-
ciated with church politics, and the
conclusion that the church elected him
is well supported. Every gentle who
was on the ticket with him was de-
feated. Every gentle who was ON the
other tickets was seriously scratched.
and every Mormon running received
comparatively large vote. The same

result was seen all over Utah. Ogden's
administration, as well as Salt Lake
City's is in the hands of Mormons,
though in each case the gentiles form
the bulk of the population. The city
council in each case, by majority of
Mormons show a result of religious
voting. The tendency of Mormons to
vote for men of their own faith has an
Important bearing on national affairs.
1t is not improbable that next year a
Legislature may be elected in Utah
which will be so overwhelmingly Nor
mon that a United States Senator will
be chosen who will give his allegiance
to the church leaders.

And save the wailing wind there is mn

Photographs of Celebrities.

The enterprising photographer Is well
aware that whenever a person becomes
popular the public wants to know how
he or she looks, and keeps a close watch
upon rising celebrities with a view to
putting money in his purse. When, for
example, player has achieved some
popularity, he is approached by pho
tographerS who make speciality of the
work with polite requests that he sit
for them. Nothing will be charged for
the posing, and he may have any rea-
sonable number of pictures free, the
photographer depending for his profit
entirely upon the money which the
sale of the photographs will bring.
How much that profit may be is largely
matter Of guess work, for the popu-
larity of stage people tluctuates con-
stantly. AS n general rule, pictures of
actresses sell far better than those of
actors. Any new star, of home or for
eign origin, creates a brisk demand,
which may last for weeks or even
months. successful play stirs up a
great trade in the pictures of all the
well-known members of the cast, with
the leading man and woman at the
head of the list. With persons who
have become prominent in other walks
of life, much the same conditions apply
as those which govern players. The
President, congressman, Governors,
Mayors, and Others well-known in DO
iitical circles are approached by pho
tographers, who desire to take them,
either free or at a merely nominal
charge, for the purpose Of selling their
pictures. Few photographers sell di-
rectly to the public. They have regu-
lar agents who make business of deal
ing in photographs of celebrities"
