Two Gentlemen From Alabama.

Two prominent citizens of Mobile, Ala,
were seen in the lobby of the Shoreham
last evening Mr. Edward l.. Russell,
counsel for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
and Mr. J. T. Rich, a successful and popu-
lar lawyer and former mayor of the Ala
bama seaport.
Mr.. Russell has almost as many per
sonal friends in Washington as in his
home town having been called here often
on business during the past ten years.
His ability as a railroad man is fairly
eaualed by his gifts as a raconteur. On
being asked for a statement of his views
as Southern Democrat. Mr.. Rich said:
Il will cite you to the McAllister reso-
luton, passed by the Mississippi Legis-
lature as a sign of the times. 1t shows
how weary large element of the South
ern people have grown of populistic al
liances. That Mississippi should be the
first to throw off the fetters was surpris-
ing perhaps, but there had been growing
discomfort in that State with the condi

Senator Cullom's Hard Time.

The Senate had hard time getting into
executive session yesterday afternoon.
Senator Cullom made the motion, but
half dozen Senators arose with bills and
petitions TO introduce. Two of them
wished to have immediate consideration
by unanimous consent. and Senator Gull
lom did not object. Then two more Sen
ators wished to make short concluding
remarks on the Chinese exclusion bill.
MIR. Cullom had stood at.his desk waiting
TO renew his motion. and yielding to one
Senator after another. until the supple
mentary speeches began Then he sat
down with a smile OF panied resignation
on his face.
Senator Allison meanwhile had also
arisen in his seat and Mr.. Cullom looked
at him in an appealing way, but Mr.. Al
Hson gave him no encouragement by his
face.
Mr.. Allison was joking. When he was
recognized by the Chair, he said with
broad smile:
Il simply wish to yield to the Senator
from Illinois"

A Famous Memory

Mr. Ami Smith. superintendent OF the
Senate document room, has a memory that
is famous all over the Capitol, and has
been carried far thrSlghout the country
by the Senators. He rivals Assistant Lii
brarian Spofford. Of The Congressional Lii
brary. in his ability to remember every
thing that occurs in connection with his
establishment.
The other dJy he Senate Committee on
Public Buildings reported a bill ia aSorably
for a building of very minor Importance
in New Enalanl city. 4 reporter who
happened to be interested in this partic-
ular bill asked a meIlbeT OF the commit
tee If any report had teen made at any
time this session OF in an earlier session.
The Senator appealed to did not reuicm-
ber and neither did one of the clerks of
the committee. and there was nothing sur
pri sing In this. Tn" newspaper man then
went to the document room and was pro-
ceednF - have an !nve5;lgation of She
records made when Mr.. Smith volunteer
ed the information hat such report had
been made during the first session of the
Fifty sixth Congress.
The number OF the report, said Mr..
Smith, IS"
And when the clerks had hunted up the
report with that number for the first ses-
sion OF the Fifty-sixth Congress II proved
TO be exactly that report ard no other.
Since that time there have been many
thousands OF reports and many thousands
CT bills in each session.

Honey in the Comb.

In the midst of all the recent
| talk about adulteration of foods
a refreshing piece of information
| comes from beekeeper of Ohio,
and the best of it is it looks very
much as if il were true. He says
that nobody need to worry about
adulterated comb honey, because
such a thing is impossible.
The reason which he gives is that
| no human skill can manufacture
| delicate combs such as are made
bv the bees. with cell walls only
e-thousandths of an inch
thick. The National BeckeeperS'
Association has offered reward
of $500 for evidence that manufac-
tired comb honey is on the mar
ket. and similar offers have been
made by beekeepers' journals. The
gentleman who makes this state
ment in behalf of those who sell
comb honey says that the trade
has been much injured by reports
that a spurious form of this prod
net was on the market, as the pub
lie has taken fright and stopped
buving honey at all, in fear of get
ting the adulterated article. 1t
can easily be seen how this is so.
Honey is not a necessary OF life,
nor is it as popular as good
many other sweet foods, for its
intense sweetness is distasteful to
many people, and, in fact, taste
for it has generally to be acquired.
therefore reports injurious to the
trade would affect the actual con
sumption of this article as they
would not affect that of flour, or
supar. or tea, or any other thing
in common use. 1t will surprise |
most people to learn that there is
something like half million of
beekeepers in the United States, in
spite of the fact that honey is Il |
luxury. Perhaps there would be |
more if it were generally under
stood that comb honey, unlike jam |
or maple sugar, positively cannot
he adulterated. Beekeeping is a
good and wholesome occupation.
and il seems as if it might be i
made profitable to many farmers
who are having hard time to get
on in the world.

A Writer of Fiction.


The personality OF Mr.. George Cary Egg
gleston. writer OF fiction and widely
known through two very clever books. "A
Carolina Cavalier and Dorothy South,
is extremely interesting. At the Airing
ton last evening Mr.. Eggleston chatted
with a Times reporter in modest fashion
about his literary labors.
People are always confusing my broth
er Edward and myself" he said, giving
me credit for his books, and vice versa.
At the age of sixteen l taught country
school in a rather primitive neighborhood,
and every week l related to Edward my
pedagogic experiences. Some of them
were so funny that he conceived the idea
of embodying them in a book, and The
Hoosier Schoolmaster' was the result

The Industrial Commission, in its final report
signed by every member just issued and after three
years of Investigation, strongly recommends the

supervision of the corporations engaged in interstate

the House Committee Labor, and author of
the Industrial Commission law, his supplemental
report of the Commission goes still further. He
quotes an overwhelming of testimony prov
ing the absolute necessity for governmental super
vision and inspection of these interstate
corporations, and submits draft of the
provisions which should be Incorporated in

by the national Legislative committees of the Knights

NECESSITY FOR A DEPARTMENT
OF COMMERCE AND LABOR


The creation of entirely department of the
Government. to be known as the Department of Com
merce and Labor. with a Cabinet officer at its head. is
grave and important of the National Govern
ment and merits serious attention than has thus
far been given it. either by the lawmakers the
people.
department little than a advertising bu-
for the great American trusts.
AS matter of fact, by far the important .
public for creating Il Department of Commerce
and Labor is the need of branch of the Govern
ment to be devoted specifically to the duty of bring
ing sort of order out of the chaos which has
for years prevailed in the commercial and industrial
affairs of the United States.
To quote the weighty words OF President Roose-
welt in his annual message of last December:
In the interest of the public the Government
should have the right inspect and examine the
workings of the great corporations engaged in inter
state business.
"Artifcia bodies, such corporations and joint
stock other associations. depending upon any sta
tutory law their existence privileges should be

and accurate inf formation to their operations
should be made public regularly at reasonable inter

A Rupert Hard Luck Story.

Representative o. II. P. Belmont and
Col. Jacob Rupert Of New York are
bosom friends Both are great admirers
of fast horses. few years back Colonel
Rupert had one of the most extensive
stables in the Eastern circuit. Mr. Bel
mont also possessed string of blooded
stock. A few days ago they returned from
the Benning track together in the Bel
mont automobile, Red Devil" They had
paid handsomely for their days snort as
the result Of d bad tip which one Of their
friends had given them just before The
fifth race. Not because of any grief over
their losses. for both are wealthy gentle
men, but somehow The conversation on
the way home turned to hard luck stories.
Did you hear about the hard luck
story that happened TO a tout down at
Sheepshcad a few years ago." asked
Colonel Rupert. Mr. Belmont couldn't
remember this particular story. SO the
colonel continued
The last race had been run and the
tout was broke-down TO his last cent.
He didn't know how he was going to get
home or where his next meal was coming
from. Suddenly, however, he remembered
ware at home upon which he might real
ize. So borrowing q quarter from a
friend, as he was leaving the track. he
sent the following message to his part
ner who lived up in Thirty fifth Street:
Cook everything In the house I'm com
ing home to soak the stove"

Senator Jones and His Seat.

Senator John p. Jones of Nevada is,
perhaps, serving his last term in the
United States Senate. For more than
quarter of century the distinguished
Nevadan has had things his own way
in the trowel- shaped State and has been
returned from time to time without the
semblance of serious opposition. This
year, however, he will have to fight to
retain his laurels.
Elected originally as a Republican, Mr..
Jones changed his politics and became a
Populist-Silverite. and as such was re
turned to the Senate five years ago. He
was red-hot Bryan enthusiast in the
campaign of sc, and made speeches all
over the West for the Democratic nom
inee. Just before the convention OF 1900,
however, Senator Jones returned to the
old love. and is now again a full l-fedged
Republican.
Representative Francis G. Newlands of
Nevada, who came within one vote three
years ago of succeeding the Hon. William
NJ. Stewart, is candidate to succeed SEN
ator Jones. Mr.. Newlands is a member OF
the Ways and Means Committee and one
Of the leading Democrats of the House.

Tinted Statues.

| 1t is said that a tinted statue of
Queen Alexandra is contemplated.
The practice of coloring statues
| so as to present a semblance of
| life was common in ancient
| Greece, and from the records
which remain there seems no
reason to doubt that the incom-
| parable beauty of Greek sculpture
was greatly enhanced by this de-
vice. But when one comes to think
about it, the experiment, i'll these
! days, seems little dubious.
1t is not that the sculptor of
| genius will not be able to tint his
statues so that they will be more.
rather than less. beautiful for the
| process. In some cases the life
| like appearance presented may be
| positively startling and fairly
magical in its effectiveness. But
the sad fact remains that all sculp-
| tors are not geniuses.
If statues of high artistic value
are to be tinted, then, assuredly,
the fashion will spread, especially
on this side of the water. There
/ IS Il perilous readiness among
Americans to accept everything
| which is even passably realistic
1t is this disposition which has
given us real pumpkins and real
| buzzsaws on the stage. and if the
realism had only extended to the
actors the true lover of the drama
would not have minded so much.
But when the buzzsaw is the only
real actor in the play the contrast
between its businesslike and vivid
force and the woodenness of the
hero is rather painful. This love
of realism is certain TO make the
tinted statue popular.
The next thing will be that we
shall have tinted statues in grave
yards, and second-class public !
buildings, and third-class drawing
rooms, and then they will be given
away with pound of tea. and by |
that time all our art galleries will |
begin to look like collections of .
milliners' and hairdreSsers' mod |
els. And then how shall we feel
about the innovation.

American Composers Wrongs.

Paul Dresser, the well-known writer of
songs, pathetic and semi-pathetic, comic
and serio- comic, is in Washington with
an attorney for the purpose of agitating
the subject of an international copyright.
Mr.. Dresser claims that all the American
composers are losing large sums OF money
by reason of the fact that foreign music
publishers deliberately take their songs
and publish them without compensation.
He estimates his own losses in thou
sands of dollars annually. and the com
bined losses of the American composers
up in the hundreds of thousands Mr..
Dresser hopes to enlist the sympathy and
assistance of the State Department in
this matter.
