tie world of the blind In every community,
and this Circumstance led this young man
INTO the company of a young woman af-
hicted in similar way. 1t was the old
story. Even where there is sight, love Is
proverbially blind. A short courtship led to
marriage last November. Few people who
missed the biino man from his accustomed
place one day last fall knew that the we'd
ding bells of his lif. were ringing The
next day they saw him beaming in coun-
tenance whether the coin dropped into the
tin cup beside him OF not. He has settled
down to a harmonious domestic life, and
those who know the young couple declare
there never was happier honeymoon than
the one they nave enjoyed.

Chauncey Depew will probably feel much
al home in the Senate. 1t has been an
nounced that seat has already been Sc
lected for him and it's location has been
given. but the important significance of the
selection has not been remarked. The
greatest delicacy and regard for the fitness
of things is always observed in matters
pertaining to the arrangements of the Sen
ate. The habits of many dinners cling
lovingly about the new senator from New
York If he had been given a remote seat
in the Senate chamber, along the outer
edge or grouped with the common assem-
blage he would have felt out of place. The
seat OF honor is always his at table. There
is no seat of honor in the Senate-or all
are seats of honor-but long-continued Gus
tom has It's influence upon the mind, and
ne was given seat. therefore, just at the
right of the presiding officer, where he is
sure to feel at home. This delicacy of con-
sideration was carried even further. He
was surrounded by a group of the most
gifted and brilliant takers in the Senate,
among whom he will shine forth as a star
of most peculiar brilliancy Assembled
about him will be Foraker Spooner, Bever-
idge and Kean, and the little triangular sec
tion at the right Of the Vice President will
be known as the temple of eIoouence,
Spooner and Foraker were regarded as the
best speakers in the Senate during the last
congress Beveridges reputation as an
orator is national. and he sailed into the
senate on the wings of eloQuence, by a
quicker flight than Depew Kean is an
elegant, smooth and poetic talker, who
charms by the softness of his speech, ele-
Yates by his poetic fancy and thrills by an
outburst OF eiOQuence at the close. Though
ne and Beveridge, as we'll as Depew will
on the assembling Of Congress, appear for
the first time in the Senate, they will not
come as strangers. With such environ
mentS Depew's time i'm the Senate promises
TO pass as agreeably as an endless round
OF dinners all at the speech-making period
of the repast

ihe ured-iooking man got on street car
last Monday afternoon when the people
We're going from the egg rolling at the
White House grounds. He got on a Metro
politan car going east. The car was filled
with ladies and children who had been to
the egg rolling. Not another male passen-
ger was on the car. Every seat was taken.
children or all ages sat and stood on seats.
lhe tired man stood up nearly all the way
10 MS nome. Then, according to the con-
ductor. to whom he told his story. he said
L was reared from childhood to get I'D in
street car and give my seat to ladies' or
10 old and inflrm men. / have done it for
years In washington, but have been tempt-
eu thousand times to cease the practice
mere Is so little appreciation of this cour-
lesS SHOWN on street cars here But my
chlef complaint is that ladies will get on
cars with their children, some of whom do
not pay fares. and monopolize every seat.
while tired man has to stand II is too
seldom that L see a lady require her child
TO stand while the seat is given to a grown
person The youngsters themselves never
of1er their seats. They frequently take up
more than one seat, and grudgingly give
an men TO make room for a person to sit
DOWN. Ladies who expect men to give them
seats should at least teach their children
to be courteous to grown people If the
children were out of the cars thew would
not be sitting. but would be running around
playing. They would not feel Inconvenience
in standing and the courtly manners which
they would learn would compensate for the
trouble in giving UP their seats. / have
seen many ladies who would provide seats
for gentlemen in the way / mention, and II
always gives me pleasure to see them do
So Yet L see many more who do not seem
to think than any effort Is due to find a man
a seat
