In the senate friendships are not linn
tied by party lines. Some of the strong
est personal attachments exist between
70 ulSu VI SAdClly OppOo1IC OAlIANdA
Senator Bacon of Georgia, who might
be termed u hard shell Democrat, has
many warm friends on the Republican
side, while Senator Aldrich, n of the
most prominent leaders among the Re-
publicans, has very close personal rela-
tons with the older Democratic mem
bers. Senate Proctor, the rock ribbed
Republican from Vermont, has a great
attachment for Senator Mallory, an eX-
IRENE %southerner from Florida. MIR.
Mallory served in the Confederate ar
my and in the Confederate navy; Sena-
tor Proctor was a colonel n served on
the staff of Major General Badly"
Smith in b Union army. This makes
no difference, however. and it Is a very
common thing for ex-Confederates n
ex-FederaIs to be found in the house
and senate the most intimate of friends.
A Convention Building.
A bill to provide for the construction
! of a building for exhibition and assem-
bly, urpos in the District has been
introduced in the senate by Mr.. Nc
. MILAN, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on the District of Columbia.
This bill is in response to an urgent
appeal that has frequently been made
for a building in which exhibitions
may be held and in which assemblies
of a semipublic nature may be con-
Vened.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Mcmillan
provides for an appropriation OF $1,000
600 to carry it out. This amount is for
the purchase Of a site and the con-
struction Of a building suitable for con
yentions. exhibitions, assemblies and
concerts. 1t is provided that this mon
ey is to be expended under the direc-
ton of the president Of b United
States. The bill was referred to the
senate committee on public buildings
and grounds.
Damon and Pythias.
Speaking Of friendship, Bard Of Cali
fornia and Quarles of Wisconsin are
the Danaon and Pythias Of the senate.
Every morning they walk down Penn
sylvania venue to the capitol and look
so much alike that they might natural
ly be mistaken for brothers Bard has
slightly the advantage in height, but he
cannot boast a mustache as handsome
as Quarles possesses.
When they get together for a talk,
Quarles is fond Of relating his expert
enees during the civil war, for Bard
never was a soldier, while Bard tells
of his struggles in the early days of
California, for he went to that state
Dearly forty years ago. Both men be
long to the self made class. They have
worked hard, Quarles IL the practice of
law and Bard in the railroad and min
, ing businesses.
