The fierce light that was supposed
to beat exclusively upon throne has

beat with almost equal fiereeness up
on kitchen. The doings, sayings,
and portraits of the cooks of the truly
rich are nowadays matters for public
record. Meantime our American court
calendar includes not only the daily

also of the families of those of our
millionaires who are in. and are by
some supposed exclusively to eonSti-

the wires flashed forth the news that
his bosom friend had met with disas-
ter. Quay's partisans were furious,
but Quays voice was silent and his
face inscrutable.
That was the act of the drama that
was only half seen and not under
stood by the public. But its sequel was
truly Quaylike. Two years later the
Pennsylvania Legislature reelected
Quay to the Senate. His journey to
the national capital was like a tri-
umphal tour Flowers were dumped
into the Senate by the wagonload;
Quay followers packed the galleries.
He took the oath calmly, possibly with
an inward feeling of elation over his
victory, but after that disappeared in
a most mysterious manner. Admirers
who wanted to give him dinner were
nonplused. When he returned four or
FIVE hours later a member OF the fam
ily inquired anxiously:

friends have been looking for you

from the Governor of the keystone
State. The Legislature had been dead
locked; the question Immediately arose
In the United States Senate-is the ap-
pointment constitutional? The lawyers
of the upper house of Congress debated
the proposition for weeks; the practical
Senators counted noses. 1t was admit
ted by both sides that it was neck
and neck contestant a single vote
would decide the issue. At that time
it was asserted and believed that if
Quay were not seated it would sound
the death knell of his political supr m
acy. The Quayites claimed Vest as a
matter of course.
The Missouri Senator had been very
i'll, and it was feared would not be in
his seat when the vote was taken. On
the morning of the fateful session the
green baize doors of the Senate were
pushed open, and Vest, looking bag
gard and worn, was assisted to his
place. Surely the issue must be mo-
mentous to bring man from his sick
bed? The roll call proceeded amid the
most intense interest. Every senator
was in his place keeping tab on the
vote. The names were called in al
phabetical order and the clerk was
near the end of the roll 1t was a
tie.
Amid heart-breaking silence every
man in the chamber almost at the same
instant realized that Vest would have
the deciding vote Would he vote
Yes to accept the questioned creden-
tials of his fishing chum, or NO." to
reject them?
"Mr. Vest" called the clerk, with a
monotonous drawl.
Every eye was turned In the direc-
ton of the Missouri senator. He sat
motionless, unheeding the call.
"Mr. Vest" repeated the clerk, in a
rising voice, as if piqued at the physi-
cal effort required to call name twice.
Once more every eye turned toward
the veteran from the south, and every
ear was trained to hear his response
He half rose in his seat, and then in a
voice that was trembling and husky he
answered:
II vote No"
Then the man who could not over
come his constitutional convictions
sank back in his seat exhausted, and

The report made by Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General Bristow as a
result of his investigation into the post
office cases presents a record of brib-
cry, blackmail and miscellaneous polit-
lcal corruption which has few parallels
in recent political history. 1t Is rec
ord of criminal collision and deliber-
ate betrayal Of a public trust.
The methods pursued by those who
into conspiracies to defraud the ma
ton were various, but the end in all
cases was the satisfaction OF selfish
greed. For a period Of ten years, II
is shown, there has been a system of
organized corruption ramifying through
some OF the most important branches
OF the Post Office Department and I'm
plicating officials holding places Of
high responsibility. Apparently the
dishonest crew. of whom Beavers.
Machen and Tyner were the chief Of
tenders, neglected no opportunity
which might be turned to use for their
own profit. Unnecessary and worth
less supplies were purchased, the man
ufacturers and the government officials
dividing the profits Of the transaction.
Extortionate prices were paid to ia
vored firms. Leases for post Office
premises were Cancelled and the rent
increased upon the recommendation OF
prominent politicians. Clerks, assist
ants and bookkeepers were hired with

official business. salaries being paid in
some instances where no work was
done. Nor is this all. In some cases
conspiracies were entered into with
get-rich-quick concerns and other swim
ding devices which bribed officials.
According to Mr.. Bristow. the per-
sonal profits Of the boodlers were small
as compared with the losses inflicted
upon the government and the pub
lie. He estimates the sums secured
by the men who debauched the public
service at between 100000 and $780,
600. while the loss to the government,
considering the needless supplies pur-
ehased. must mount well up into the

QUAY AND VEST.
They Are the Damon and Pythias OF
the United States Senate.

Senators Quay and Vest for years
were the Damon and Pythias of the
Senate, fact that tends to prove that
Opposites really did make congenial
companions. No two men, apparently,
can furnish more pronounced contrasts
than these two Senators. Quay a
Northern man; Vest from the South.
Quay a pronounced Republican and up

the-wool Democrat and believer in free
trade; Quay a colonel in the Union
army; Vest proud of the fact that he
fought for the Confederacy. Bat given

Queen Alexandra Encouraging Eng
lish Princesses in Sport.
Queen Alexandra has always been
an advocate of games and athletics
for girls, if kept within reason. She
herself was very fond of all outdoor
games as child. In running she was
swift of foot as ATLANTA, and skating
came as naturally to her as walking.
Never" wrote an enthusiastic adj
mirer of her, the mother of the then
rector Of Sandringham, Ibid our dear
princess look more graceful and fairy
like than when SWIMMING over the ice
on her skates. She seemed to express
the poetry of motion" Although fond
of riding, the queen, owing to the ne
cessity of sitting on the wrong side
of the saddle, has not been a great
horsewoman. Driving was at one time
q favorite amusement of hers, and peo-
pie living round Sandringham used to
| watch for the pretty pair of grays she
fooled along so deftly. On one of her
birthdays a little carriage. with four
ponies, was given her by the Emperor
OF Russia, and she drove these either
four abreast or in the usual fourth
hand style.
Her majesty encouraged her daugh-
tiers to try every form of outdoor and
indoor exercise. and arranged that
they should receive lessons in boating
riding, swimming and billiards. They
are all fond of cycling, especially the
Princess Victoria, who has made sew
eral bicycle excursions with her init
mate friends. The Duchess of Fyfe's
favorite sport is salmon fishing, and
few women can throw a fly as skill
fully as she can. Princess Charles Of

BOARD OF TRADE
Annual Meeting Held and Old
Officers Reelected.
Work Of Year Reviewed and Plans
for this Year Discussed.
CITY Needs More Tenement Houses
Merchants Day Proposed.

The annual meeting Of the Augusta
Board Of Trade was held at the office
of Secretary w. L. McFadden, Friday
evening. with President w. H. Davis
in the chair. The attendance was dis
appointingly small, only about a score
being present, but those were disposed
to make up in enthusiasm for their lack
of numbers.
The report of Treasurer c. r. Whit
ten showed that the board is in good
financial condition, with s5621 cash in
the treasury.
The report of the secretary mention
ed the fact that the board through
President Davis had been the means of
persuading the Maine Central Railroad
during the past year to increase its
train service by the addition of the
early passenger train from South Gar
diner to the east and return from Ban
gor in the early evening. Also the
president had designed and number

spondence The board has formally
sanctioned the envelope by vote. Its
design includes pictures of the Cony
High school building and the post Of
flee with information as to the adVan-
tages of Augusta as a resort and place
of residence and business on the back.
Officers were elected as follows: Pres
iGent, w. H. Davis; vice presidents,
f. l.. Hersey. A. w. Brooks; secretary,
w. L. McFadden; treasurer, c. r..
Written; directors, f. G. Dudley, F. G.
Kipsman.' Charles r. Hall, S. S. Ran
dali, Nathan Weston. The officers and
directors constitute the executive COM
mittee.
After the election there was general
discussion before adjournment of the
business situation in the city. One fea-
turc considered is the need of more ten
ements in this city. The shoe factory
is soon to increase it's crew from about
100 hands to 200 or $50 before a couple
of more months are gone by, and 100
more houses will be needed in this city
at that time. The demand is for good
house. not a cheap and mean house, but
a respectable one at fair rental, such
as is within the reach of the better class
of mechanics. Already some Of the
men working in the shoe factory have
left their families behind on account Of
their inability to secure rents in the
city.
A proposition was made that the
board get up Merchants day" later
in the season, and evoked favorable
comment The matter was referred to
the executive committee with authority
to act.
