From the Chicago Daily Tribune,

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
One of the most courteous and polite
representatives Of the south who ever
came to Washington Is ex-senator Ran
som, of South Carolina, who has recent
ly returned to this country from Mexico,
where has was the American minister. II
there is anything Matt Ransom, as he Is
called, prides himself upon ii is his court
ly manner and distinguished bearing un-
der any and all circumstances. But his
dignity was given jolt at the Metropol-
itan hotel day or two ago in a manner
that the punctilious North Caroiinian
will never forget.
Only a few minutes before the incident
occurred he had been lecturing a constit-
uent ON the evils of drinking and point
ing to himself as an example of sobriety
and total abstinence. Hanging upon his
arm at this time was a lightweight over
coat, and his hand was tightly gripped
around the handle of small leather
satchell. One of the bellboyS grabbed the
overcoat and satchel simultaneously for
the purpose of taking them up to Mr.
Ransoms room. In his haste the bell
boy tripped and sprawled on the floor
and a MISUNDERSTANDING black bottle
slipped out of one of the overcoat pockets
and was smashed into thousand pieces
on the marble floor of the hotel corridor.
"Thcre goes my bottle of catsup," said
Mr.. Ransom, without changing a muscle
of his face. But the odor that arose iron
the marble floor was suggestive OF the
strongest liquor ever brewed by North
Carolina moonshner.
