SAM FISHER and
THU DEAF MUTE
Sage Of EIIendaIe, Strikes
an UnreSpOnSiVO Chord
in Washington

Everybody who knows anybody in
political circles in Sussex county
knows Samuel G. Fisher personally or
by reputation The loquacious Sage
of Glendale is a Democrat Of Demo-
Gratis. a Kenney man of Kenney men,
and ne has one OF these tongues-with-
out-end-amen which is a delight to his
friends and a source of constant and
profound annoyance TO his enemies.
When he was a minority member of
the Sussex county Levy Court years
ago he performed the function of a
human phonograph. The Democratic
leaders talked yards of Democratic ar
gument and objection into his ears and
then he went over to the Levy Court
room, opened the throttle at the root
of his tongue and reeled it off to the
CONSERVATION of everybody and without
the least regard for the rules regulat-
ing limited debate. In fact, this tall
and angular son Of old Sussex is the
greatest monologue artist the lower
part of the State ever produced.
He is not only politician, but also
a statesman. Seated in the old bar
ber's chair in the railroad station in
Glendale he has settled definitely
more great public questions. than any
statesman in Washington While the
tariff, free silver, expansion, ship sub
sides, army reorganization, oleomar-
garine and other great public questions
We're agitating the mind of the public
at large, they did not worry Glendale
in the least. for Sam Fisher had said
his say and they stood approved or
condemned according to mis- concep-
tion of their purposes and possible ef-
fects.
Senator Kenney got Sam a position
in the Senate folding room. He was a
revelation and an inspiration to ma
tional OfficialdOm. He talked his way
into the good graces of everybody and
in a few weeks became better known
than Senator Kenney himself Some
time ago he retired from his position
and the folding room assumed the
quietude of a graveyard.
But now he is back in Washington
Senator Kenney having obtained him
position in the PostOffice Department
The first day that Sam spent in his
new place was devoted to making the
acquaintance of the man who occu.
pied the desk next to his. It has beer
said that it takes two to make con
versation. Sam doesn't believe that's
so. Anyway. for two hours and a-hal
he talked away to his neighbor.
II noticed he didn't say nuthin
back" said Sam. but I kept right on
and cum to find out he was a def an'
dumb man-I'll be burned ef III
wasn't"
The second day Sam devoted to as
certaining the political complexion o
the section. His canvass showed 20
Republicans. one Democrat and on
deaf-and-dumb man who didn't declar
himself
1t is a question how long Sam vii
last with a deaf mute to talk to an
surrounded by 255 men and wome
who are not in sympathy with the pc
litical views of the vOluble Sage
Glendale.

Stolen and Held for
Ransom
sneeIal 10 Id EgenIng Journal.


Camden. Dec. 27--Alexander Jack
son, OF this town, whose muniiicent
gifts of real estate and money to rela-
tives gained for him considerable no
toriety few months ago. and whose
life was made burdensOme thereby. be-
cause OF the deluge of petitions and
impecunious visitors IT. brought him,
has suddenly been seized with the idea
that he Is in danger of being kid
mapped and held for ransom. Many
of the publications concerning his dis
position of his estate described him as
being immensely wealthy, and he
fears that the crooks all over the coun-
try are convinced that he is a sort Of
Monte Cristo. His present fear has
been brought about by the Cudahy
kidnapping case, the details OF which
he has read with interest His home
surroundings having been very accu-
rately described by the newspapers. he
considers that everything about it fur
nishes a guide post to strangers, and
he has within the past few days had
the large bronze dogs which ornament
ed mis- front porch and which have
been pictured by correspondents, re-
moved, and other changes made.
Even with these precautions taken,
he absolutely refuses TO pass the night
at his home, and each evening Frank
Jackson. the Wyoming mail carrier
who is enjoying a new hack and team
presented by Mr.. Jackson. calls foI
him and he is driven to some friends
house in the country. The destination
is changed each evening. Mrs. Jack
son. with a 12-year-old boy as protec-
tor. is left to guard the homestead.
