Washington Letter in Baltimore American.
The other day a party Of congressman
were telling each other the experiences of
some of the new members since their ar
rival i'm Washington. Col. Bob" Gordon,
Of ohio. vouched for the following one on
a member from a country district in a State
further west than his own:
The new congressman arrived in Wash
taTv he had enga ged to show him the ropes.
The two went to a hotel. and as soon as
the congressman had been shown to his
room he grabbed the water pitcher and
started to run out of the room with it.
where are you going with that pitcher"
asked the secretary. The congressman
stopped long enough to mutter. Il am going
ont TO get some water. The secretary re-
Dlied you don't have TO go out of the
roon, for your water. See that button over
there on the wall; you have only to touch
that and you will get all the water you
us that SOP said the congressman. as he
went over to the wall and touched the cleo
trio call button Then. to the establishment
of the secretary. he he'd the pitcher under
the button expecting the water TO flow out
in resnonse TO the touch. The secretary
aid not saw anything. but watched the con-
eressman until the boy answered the call
and then the Young man was afforded fresh
amusement by hearing the congressman
unhraid the bellboy for having the water
fytures in the room out of order. saying he
had pressed the button several times and
waited at least five minutes and no water
had come at all.

FLIGHT OF CHAIN LINK
1T HURLED THROUGH THE AIR
FOR TWO SQUARES.
People i'm the NeighborhOod As
founded by the Remarkable
Occurrence.

An unusual incident happened yesterday
at the veneer works, corner Massachusetts
avenue and Tenth street. Ii aroused a
great deal of comment. During the after
noon a small party of workmen from the
veneer plant were at work outside over
the steam watts hosting logs from the sea-
sOning watts. The men, in doing this work,
used large derrick. which was supplied
with a chain. In trying to raise one of the
logs the chain broke One of the links,
weighing one-quarter of a pound, went
sailing through the air and landed in the
home of Charles Morrison, 1905 East Tenth
street
The workmen at the factory, when the
chain broke, heard the whizzing of the
broken piece flying through the air, but
did not notice where it landed. None of
the employees was hurt by the accident.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Morrison be-
gan an investigation as to the cause of the
missile entering his house 1t was not I'M
til some time after the accident that the
real cause of the trouble was discovered.
1t then found that the missing piece
of iron was the one that belonged to the
veneer works. The home of Mr. Morrison
is just two squares away from the veneer
plant, and at first it was thought absurd
to think the broken piece of chain had
Travelled that far.
The chain went racing through the air
ana shot through one of the side windows
or Mr.. Morrisons home. Standing near
the window at the time was Adam Erish-
mann. The missile came through the win
dow with considerable velocity and greatly
frightened Mr. Erishmann. The breaking
or the glass did not stop the force of the
small iron piece, for it kept on its flight
until the other side of the room stopped
further progress The sharp prongs of the
broken iron came against the plaster of the
wall and were deeply imbedded
When the affair became known after
supper a great many curious callers made
their way TO the Morrison home to investi-
gate the facts. The story at first was re-
garded as hoax, but it was made clear
TO every one that it had solid foundation

An Australians Freak Trip.
Detroit Journal.

Detroit Journal
A fair-faced, faxen-haired young man,
dressed in the "Beefeaters suit of the
seventeenth century, drifted into the city
to-day and wandered up and down the prin-
cipal streets with en- inquiring look on his
Enthusiastically English face. This young
man was less a parsonage than the
poet laureate of West Australia, Percy
Melville Emery, and the reason for his be-
ing in Detroit in the Queer-looklng suit ne
wore was to win from a few OF his friends
a purse OF s33, 600.
In order TO win the purse, however,
somewhat difficult task was imposed. He
must leave Australia without shilling ana
work his way TO England. He must sup
port himself six months in London, three
months in Paris. three months in Ireland
twelve months in Canada and America and
return TO Australia in two and half years
with $4,000 in his pockets. Finally, he
must wear red and green plush suit
throughout his travels.
The latter task was imposed. Mr.. Emery
says. TO make his trip more difficult. as no
one would believe that a man who wore
such an misunderstanding costume knew
anything at all. In spite Of all obstacles
the poet has nearly completed his trip, and
earned the $1,000 during the first six
months out from home by lecturing ana
writing for the London papers and writing
up places of historical interest in London
These descriptions are 10 be used in the
australian schoolbooks. He will speak in
Windsor in the course of two weeks. going
from there TO Chicago, and sails from Van

Cause of Disappointment. at Times,
to the Public.
Kansas City Star.


The dropping out of several of the Grau
sopranos promised for the Kansas City en-
gagement calls attention once more to the
extreme uncertainty that attends the pro-
fessiOnal conduct of many of the spoiled
favorites of the lyric stage. Making all due
allowances for the extremely sensitive or
ganism that produces the human voice
more esps cially the high soprano and for
the great Importance of caution against
strain and exposure. the fact remains that
most of the disappointments that are IN
fiicted by the petted song birds could be
avoided if the singers had due cOnsidera-
ton for the public There are compare
lively few instances of bad faith among
the men of grand opera. but the women
even those who begin their careers with
level heads and responsive hearts, nearly
all sooner or later slight the public TO
crafty their personal caprices.
Patti in her prime was probab bly, the most
enchanting singer who ever lived. but il
was not so much as superlatfve artist
and the possessor of a marvelously beauti-
ful voice that she held her place OF pre-
eminence among the artists OF her time
1t was as a good, jolly, considerate serv-
ant of the people that she retained her
great popularity. She had her whims, her
eccentricities. and she made enough trouble
for her manager. but when she disap-
pointed her audiences il was for good and
sufficient reasons. and her honesty with
the public was reaffirmed whenever she APP
peared before it. To make an illustration
