A Pretty Party Trick.

1t is very pretty trick TO present little
oirI with white rose, telling her that
though the flower looks pale. it will revive
and glow with the blush of health If she
will wear it few hours.
In order TO make your prediction true you
must select not naturally white rose, but
a red one, which you have bleached in the
manner illustrated in the picture-by hold
ing it over the fumes Of burning sulphur.
The rose can be bleached almost or quite
white in this way, but the natural color re-
turns after few hours exposure 10 the air.

CLEVER MANAGER.
PARTICIPATION OF Ex- GOV.
BURLEIGH IN POLITICS.
QUIET WORKER AT CAPITAL - HAS
MAINTAINED REPUTATION AS
AN ORGANIZER.

Men OF many brilliant talents have
been sent to Congress from the little
State OF Maine, far down east. with &C.
easionaI exceptions, they are the pick
from as sturdy and brainy race as -four
ishes anywhere, and, once surviving the
ordeal OF a nominating convention, come
to the House OF Representatives for
practically a life tenure. 1t has long
ceased TO be a marvel that such men come
to the front.
When the break first came In the ia
nous delegation OF four Maine republi-
cans who were new members twenty years
ago, the vacancy was filled almost unan-
imously with strong party leader, whose
name for ten years had been almost
household word in the Pine Tree State.
He was then known all over New Eng
land as one OF the hes, organizers in sll
that section, man of honorable political
methods, unusually quiet in his exc
cution of plans, but uniformly successful.
As modest and courteous q figure as one
would come across in days travel, bat
with commanding presence, he took the
oath OF Office on July day Ave years ago.

tion. The battle that ensued was a
notable one In Maine political annals,
probably the hercest and most hotly-
contested Of any for congressional
honors since Maine became State in 1870.
Mltliken was a man OF strong popular
tralts. He knew nearly every voter In
the district, which comprises portion OF
the counties that Blaine represented
many years, during which he was three
times speaker Of the national House.
Burleigh had an acquaintance equally
wide. The lsureIs OF two terms az gov
ernor, which had been exceptionally
successful terms, were fresh upon him.
His organisation was supported by warm
personal friends In every town and hara-
let in that thrifty Yankee section. The
final result was q victory for Mr.. Miliken
by very narrow margin, one OF the
other candidates throwing his strength
to him In order to bring about his nomi-
nation.
HIS PARTY LOYALTY.
How clearly Gov. Burleigh had foreseen
the final outcome OF the contest In its
closing days is evident from the fact that
he had at that time already In type an
editorial for his paper, the Kennebec
Journal, exhorting the republicans of the
Third district to give the nominee OF their
party a united and cordial support.
There was no personal bitterness because
OF the campaign. Gov. Bnrieigh and Mr..
MiIliken were good friends till the day OF
- T.. -. D..
last dinner In Maine was eaten at the gov
ernoris residence. When the vacancy
arose Gov. BurIeigh was eventually NOM

FIVE years before having convinced the
people of the district that he was entitled
to the nomination.
1t Is a striking coincidence that the
very few good political generals In the
House are men OF quiet demssnor. None
could be more so than Gov. Burleigh.
He Is modest almost 10 fault, yields
graciously to bis elders In congressional
service, but withsl Is the most tenacious
of men In carrying out what he under
takes. When one would think BIN IN

preparing for an assault with new energy.

W bet her II was question of better pos
tai facilities Tor some little farming
community on the northern border OF
his district. or urging the interests of the
great granite qusrries along the Maine
coast in some government contract, ne
watched the matter with the same zaal.
When the appointments for the select
committee on census were made In the
ffity-sixth Congress, Burleigh was
named as next TO the last OF the republi-
can membe Tits did not happen By
accident. In 1880 Reed and Dinghy had
exerted themselves TO the utmost to carry
an apportionment bill In the House that
would insure for ten years more four rep
resentatives for Maine. In many states,
especially those of large representation, q
reduction OF one member would be re-
gardeo as a trifiiDg matter; but 1t has
been a question cf great moment in
Maine, where the pride In the coDgres-
sioual delegation is very great.
HIS FIGHT ON APPoKTIoSMENr
As a member OF the census committee,
Gov. 8urleigh was in an advantageous
position to organize for an appointment
that would still give Maine four mem bers
for anorhe decads. He and MIR. Little

leaders were sverse to increasing the
mem bership of the House. They worked
shoulder to shoulder, but Burleigh laid
the plans Of the organization, decided that
the fight must be won, II at all, through
the cooperation OF senator's; made the
combines with various states, and set in
motion the Influences that brought the
decisive votes from New YORK and Penn
sylvania.
The turning point in that contest came
in the census committee. Chairman
Hopkins, of Illinois, had bill for 357
members, a. at present, based on popu-
Istion Of 2os SIS tor each member. Gov.
Burleigh had bill providing for 1856
members, based upon a population of
i94, 1s2, the smallest number that would
allow Maine to retain four members OF
the House. When the day for voting In
the committee came there was pending a
third proposition to amend the Hopkins
bill, 50 as to provide for membership OF

bia. lie believes In the future OF th
federal capital as far aud away the finest
city In the world. As one Of the leading
members OF the committee on public
buildings and grounds. he has stood for
liberal appropriations for government
and District OF Columbia structures.
Among the provisions Of the Mercer law,
recently enacted, were authorizations for
nearly 100000 In buildings for his own
State. $4,000 OF which were for a larger
postoiiice at Augusta, and small sum
toward a public building at Bar Harbor,
which Is In his district, and the summer
home OF numerous Washingtonians.
When he first came here he began to ask
for good sum to complete the improve
ments on the Kennebec river, an historic
and important commercial waterway OF
the State. This request was lately real
lied in an appropriation OF 81, 600.
Toward the advancement OF the State
as paradise for sportsmen he mas been
an active worker, sending hundreds OF
thousands OF fish from the commission
here to stock the lakes and rivers, which
are numerous In central Maine, more SO
perhaps, than in any other similar area in
the world.
A MODERATE SPORTSMAN.
He takes an almost boyish pleasure,
whenever opportunity affords, in fishing
the trout brooks OF his native State. He
likes also to hunt cartridges, but cares
nothing for large game, and frankly ad-
mits that he could never derive any
pleasure from shooting deer.
The session just closed has been an ex-
ceedingly busy one for Gov. Burleigh,
and he is happy man now that he Is
again in the rugged Down East state he
loves so we'll, and whose interests he has
served with untiriDg zeal and fidelity.

HE ENJOYS POLITICS.
Ex-Gov. Edwin {. Burleigh enjoys poll
ties heart and soul. As boy, even be-
fore he had finished his education in the
common schools OF Aroostook county, he
was writing votes at March town meet
ings. where the rudiments OF selt-goy
eminent are so well taught. Perhaps 1t
came to bin naturally, for his father and
his grandfather before him had psrtici-
pated actively In the political fray, and
risen to some emiuenee In the isgisls-
lures Of Maine and Massachusetts, re-
spectively, besides holding other offices
OF honor and emolument.
He was still mere boy, tall and slight
