The Georgia Peach Belt.

My home is in the great peach belt
of middle Georgia. said Mr.. ]. X. L.
Smith. a prominent lawyer Of Macon, Ga.
at the Riggs House.
The farmers of our section would
speedily become plutocrats IL the peach
crop hit every year. AS it is, if they
get one really good year in five they do
pretty we'll. owing to the good prices their
fruit brings in the Eastern markets. In
lusciousness and flavor the Georgia peach
is without rival. due to the climate and
soil The reason of the failure of the
orchards to produce abundantly every
season is that the trees bud forth in the
prematurely warm weather OF early
spring, which is followed later by killing
frosts.
This year, however, all danger is
passed, and the outlook is for a magnih-
cent yield, and that means many thou
sands of dollars of revenue to our farm
ers.''

Senator Spooner is admitted to be one

ton which Senator Depew enjoys. When

give him close attention, for it is gen

summer.

Society Again Awheel.

The discarded bicycle is becoming fad
again with fashionable people in Wash
ington. The craze when first started took
hold here stronger than in any place in
the United States. owing to the fact that
almost every street in the District of CO.
lumbia is covered with smooth asphalt
pavement. II had its day, however. and
during the past few years bicycles have
been used only as the means OF getting
from one place to another in hurry.
Some of the ultra fashionable folk OF
Washington have now taken up the wheel
again. and it is thought that The vogue

New wheels have been purchased. new

Midst floods of amber sunlight, such as

Through yroined and mullioned windows

OF stored minister's, crumbling like their

Or growing out of those deep twilight
shades
That Flemish Van Dyck loved-a face that
fades
Back into midnight, while the spirit seems
To struggle earthward from land Of

Why, grant me Titian's hues, give me the
touch

or power as God has given here below
To one man only: Michael Angelo
And blend these gifts in one harmonious
whole,
I'd catch your features truly. But your
soul?
No. never yet was craftsman born could

The thoughts that rise when those blue,
smiling eyes
Look deep into that land of dreams,
whose skies

To you, but real, n most familiar place.
A land of dreams, Ii is reflected CLEANS,
Perhaps, flung upward from its meres and

Mr.. Sulzer a True Sportsman.

There is no more enthusiastic sportsman
in the House than Representative William
Sulzer, OF New York. He is an expert with
the rod and gun but he never INDUCES in
sport for the purpose OF making record
of killing. When he hunts or fishes, 1t is
to bag game for feast, and not for
wanton slaughter.
While a member of the New York Leg
islature, Mr.. Sulzer introduced, and after
hard fought battle. secured the pas
sage of. the law for the protection OF
game and fish in the Empire State. And
similar law has. since been adopted by
about thirty other State Legislatures.
There is more wild game in New York Mr..
sulzer said yesterday. than in any other
State in the Union.
There is now pending before the House
Committee on Territories a bill introduced
by Mr.. Sulzer for the protection of salmon.
He, with a number of gentlemen from the
Pacific Coast. win appear before the COM
mttee on Thursday. morning and make
arguments in support Of the bill.
Unless the Government does something
TO protect our salmon" said Representa-
tive Sulzer, ut Will be but few years
when this great fish will be extinct. It's
more important to the United States to
preserve the salmon than it is the seal"

Mr.. Kern's Elk Charm.

Representative Kern OF Illinois is the
possessor OF one Of the neatest and most
attractive Elk charms owned by any Elk
in the House-and there are about $50
members of that order in the popular
branch Of Congress.
Some months ago, while In cafe in
this city, Mr.. Kern was presented with
beautiful specimen of the Elk's tooth. A
gentleman at the table admired ii, and
requested Mr.. Kern to let him have it
mounted. The Illinois Congressman read
lily consented. and handed over the tooth
to his newly made acquaintance.
The incident soon passed out of Mr..
Kern's mind, but 1t was brought to
his attention the other day when he re-
ceived a small package with his mail.
Upon opening the box he found. neatly
done up in cotton. the elk's tooth. hand
somely mounted in gold. There was also
a miniature elk's head in gold, with ruby
ewes. and Immediately under it was the
enamel dial of a clock, with the hands
pointipg TO the hour of IL, at which
o'clock the Elks drink their toast to at-
sent brothers.
Mr.. Kern will be glad to again meet
his unknown friend, who mounted the
elk's tooth in such an artistic manner.

Two Uncrowned Chairmen.


II is not generally known, but it's a
fact just the same, that Representative
Harry Fl. Bingham of Pennsylvania, the
father of the House, is not chairman of
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, one of the Re-
publican floor leaders. who is serving his
eighth consecutive term, chairman of any
committee.
The reason for the apparent discrimina
ton. however, is explained by their COM
mittee assignments. Representative
Bingham is on the Appropriation and the
Postbffice and Postroads Committees,
while MIR. Dalzell is a member of the
Committees on Rules and Ways and
Means. And 1t has long been held that
an assignment en- these four important
committees is equivalent TO a irst-class
craftsmanship, and away above the chair
manship of a small committee. mem
Der Of the Appropriation, the Ways and
Means, the Postoffice and Postroads, and
Rules Committees can always catch the
Speakers eve. And in addition to that
he never lacks opportunity to get into
the debate.
The only privilege Messrs. Bingham and
Dalzell lack. however. is a committee
room, which is one of the perquisites of
a chairman. Ii won't be long before the
House follows the example of the Senate
and passes bill making an appropriation
for an annex or committee room building.
and assigns to every member in the House
a private committee room. Such a bill is
now pending before the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.

Lone Star States New Governor.

Representative Lanham returned from
Texas yesterday, and was warmly con-

that he would have practically no opposi

Early in the session Mr.. Lanham an
nounced his candidacy for the governor
ship of the Lone Star State. AT that time
he had several rivals, but as the canvass
progressed II became apparent that the
people we're with Judge Lanham. and the
rivals dropped out one by one until they
left the judge with clear field. The
nomination is equivalent TO an election.
