TURN OF A CARD WON
U. s. SENAT0RSHIP,

did l ever tell you how lucky king of
diamonds made<a democrat tic politician
a United States senator when votes
wouldn't do it?' said a retired politician.
"No? Well, it's time. but I'm not going
to give you the name of the man or the
state in which it occurred. A few of u
knew of it at the time, but decided to keen
it oueit. And we did for a long time,
but the rumor finally got out. and there's
no use keeping the facts back any longer.
"They say politics is a curious game,
n it certainly is. In my state at the
time this happened We had been having
a very bitter campaign. The nomina-

but the days passed with matters un.

were proposed, n that was all. There

The bill relating to the allowance of
exceptions was passed. The bill was re-
ported from the Judiciary committee by
Senator Hoar. 1t recently passed the
house of representatives. The bill
amends section 953 of the revised statutes
SO as to provide that in case of the death
or inability of trial judge his success
sor may hear and pass upon motions for
new trials and allow and sign bills Of
exception. The bill is intended to remedy
a defect in the law pointed out recently
by the supreme court, which held that a
Judge who did not preside at trial could
not perform these functions, thus often
preventing review of causes by the
higher court.
