good order of that part of the building.
Perhaps he will want to make some re-
forms: Mr.. Reed accomplished a num-
Der when he took charge. The first
thing the latter did was to do away
with the ladies room" adjoining the
legislative chamber; then he drove out
the peddlers who had long infested the
corridors-old Martha, who sold milk
and pie, an apple-woman with an enor-
nous basket, candy man, dealer
in cigars and tobacco, and even the
venerable Clara Morris, merchant of
curios and long recognized as an insti-
tuition.
Henceforth Mr.. Henderson will be
regarded with awe by the pages and
messengers of the house, all of whom
he appoints. The pages duties are re-
stricted to the floor, but the messengers
may be utilized for any sort of service.
Most of the latter are attached to COM
mittees, the chairman of which fire.
quently employing them to wait on
the table at their houses when they
rive dinner parties. Indeed, the most
important qualification of the messen-
ger is experience in handling eatables
and drinl<ab les, and over on the SEN
ate side colored man, who is reckon
ed one of the most expert mixers OF
appetizing bracers in the country, has
been retained twenty-five years, chief
~ on this account, by the committee
of which Mr.. Hale is nov chairman.
The doorkeeper, clerk and sergeant-at-
arms of the house are elected by a
caucus of the majority party, but Mr..
Henderson will control the appoint
ment of the assistant doorkeepers.
Likewise he can employ or discharge
the BARRIERS who cut the hair and trim
the whiskers of the representatives at
the capitol. As a matter of fact, how
ever. the speaker does not interfere
with such matters Of petty patronage
as rule. and the story is told of a
severe snub which Speaker Reed admin
istered to Congressman Walker, of
Massachusetts,, when the latter COM
planned of an elevator man, and re-
quested his discharge.
My dear Mr.. Walker" replied Reed,
with his customary drawl, IT regret to
be obliged to refuse what you ask; but
it so happens that the man you mem
ton is the onlv employe of the house
whom | have appointed because of
personal inclination on my own part. :"

Commenting upon the above letter,
Capt. Kitterman writes to the Courier
as follows:
August 81, 1899.
Editor Courier, Sir-The above will
explain why | write you.
DO YOU think that the two Jews left
at West Point would be permitted to
remain il thev had said differently?
1t was like jackson with the soldiers.
After the battle of New Orleans some
of them wanted to go home. jackson
called them up in line and asked them
if they wanted to go home, and if so
to step to the front, and said. "But by
the eternals will shoot the first man
that steps out" Jews and negroes have
no show at West Point. Think of Whit
talSer, the negro. who had his ears cut
off. and on investigation it was proven
that he did il himself. Col. Henderson
said the first qualification for West
Point was to be the son Of a republic
can. Some republicans deny this, but
not all. For thirty years there has
been but one, bov from this congress
sional district able to stand the press
at West Point. and his Father had a
pull. Had ] the power | would make
that school that would be at least
equal to some of the private schools in
this country. or tear ii down and throw
ii into the Hudson Talk of the white
mans burden. and think of the way
Jews and negroes are treated.
wv. III. Kitterman."
