An Insurance Story.

The manager of a life insurance company recently received the fol- lowing letter from policyholder: "f hold policy in your company for S2o,oo0, on which I have paid the year ly premiums. l have now to inform you that my physician advises me that have a pronounced case of ap- pendicitis and his diagnosis is con frmed by specialist whom I have consulted. l am told that the only hope of saving life is an operation which. with hospital expenses. will cost $500, an amount that I have no means to pay. l am sensible that I owe It to you, who have SO large a pecuniary interest in my life, to give you the option to pay the cost of this operation to save my life that I may continue to pay you the yearly premiums on my policy q believe that l am otherwise strong and healthy), or in the alternative to pay the S20.oo0 to my beneficiary within few weeks. l am quite willing to be examined by any physician vou may name and to have you select the operating surgeon.

WHERE SENATOR'S RESIDE.
observation-disclosures and n small Number keep House.

| Comparatively few senators have
 established homes of permanent
 nature in this city. Not one-half of them maintain a housekeeping es- l tsbliShment. of the ss senators now holding seats in congress 8 live in hotels and ten live in apartment | houses. Three-fuurths of those who reside in hotels are uptown. the bal ance being southern senators. who | have quarters in downtown houses 1 that have become famous in the past as stopping places for Southerners. and which still have memories of great statesmen clinging to them that form an attractive feature for many of those who continue to give them their patronage. All the sem ators except two live in the north west. the venerable Senator Pettus, of Alabama, being one of those who has taken up his domicile in another part 1f the city. He is located on The Hill, not far from the congress sional library building and the cap itol. \ considerable number of those not in hotels or apartments have rooms and board in private houses, states the Washington Star.
 The popularity of hotels and apart ment houses as abodes for senators is enhanced for several reasons pe- euliar to the lives of public men. A house carries with it social responsi- bilities which are not always easy to avoid, however agreeable it might be for the senator to rid himself oi them. But life in hotel does not mean that the senator is taking but small part in social affairs. Some of those whose entertainments are the most lavish patronize hotels, es- peciallv since during the last few years all the large houses have made extensive improvements in which the idea of lavish entertainment on the part of guests has been a prominent factor. The hotel affords ideal con ditions for those who wish to provide India rubber conditions for enter tainment which will do for small party or for great gathering at dinner or otherwise. The uncertain " of politics has doubtless had much influence on the plans of senators who come here for while few of them have served for a quarter of a century. and will doubtless be re- elected as long as they live. yet the ma jority of terms of senators are sc short as hardly to warrant the estsb- ESbIuent Gf priVate home here in- yolNing large expense.

ALEXANDRA AND THE POOR.
Instances of the kindness of Eng lands Royal Lady Toward the
 Unfortunate.

One more little anecdote of Sand ringham life, and have done. It oc- cured a short time after the death of her son, the duke of Clarence. As all know, the princess tried to hide her grief. which was shown only ill her failing health and tender con- sideration for others. One day. while walking with one of her ladies in the lanes, she met an old woman weeping bitterly and tottering under a load of packages, relates Pearson's Maga- zine.
 On inquiry it appeared she was a carrier. and made her living by shop ping and doing errands in the mar ket town for the country people.
 "But the weight is too heavy at your age" said the princess.
 "Yes. you're right. ma am; I'll have to give it mp, and if give it up. I'll starve. Jack carried them for me my boy. ma am
 And where is he now?"
 Jack? he's dead. Oh. he's dead the old woman cried. wildly.
  ried on, drawing her veil over her face to hide her tears. A few days later neat little cart and stout donkey were brought to the old ear rier,s door. She now travels witt them to and fro making a comfort able living, and has never been told the rank of the friend who has tried to make her life easier for the sake of her dead boy.
 May l add one little fact. not con- neeted with Sandringham. but speak ing volumes for the gentle nature of England's queen? She was shown through criminal museum, and countless methods scientific and legal-were explained for detection and punishment of crime. Tt is all very clever" said the kindly royal lady, but if the world was as anxious to discover and reward the good men as it is to punish the bad, what pleasant place it would be.'
