WHAT BRowNLoW SAYS.
inson's Plain Talk.


Says Representative Brownlow, one
of the most respected Republicans in
congress, Wednesday, a member Of The
appropriations committee and a power
in the conventions of the party:
81 certainly recall seeing Mr.
Capers at the banquet. Indeed I am
under the impression be favored US
with a brief talk
When I telephoned Mr.. Dover,
Senator Hanna's secretary Wednesday
night, to ask if Mr.. Capels attended
the banquet, this reply came over the
wire: why, yes, Capers was there.
III fact they were all there except
Robinson of North Carolina
Judson Lyons, register Of the treas
ury, the negro guest at the banquet,
when asked Wednesday whether Mr..
Capers was fellow guest at Senator
Hanna's banquet, replid: That's a
social matter, and you must excuse
me from discussing'it. I was guest
at Senatar Hanna's dinner and it is
not for me to say who was there or
who was not"
By members of the committee who
were there it is stated that Mr..
Capers appeared to be intensely in
terested in the remarks of National
Committeeman Dimick from Alabama,
who spoke on the negro question in
the south and the at jitude Of the
toward him.
The many friends O; Mr.. Capers
among the southern &C ony in Wash

velopments will show hat he has

the negro while Mr.. Ca pers went to
Baltimore.

WAYS OF WINGED WOOERS
Incidents Illustrating the Comic
Side of BIRD Life

Incidents Illustrating the ComicaI
Side OF Bird Life.
Wooing time brings to the front the
comical side of bird life, and methods
are as varied among our feathered
neighbors as among ourselves. The ex-
tremes Of dignified courtship and dis
reputable scrimmage were shown by
two well known birds, when the pres
ence of rival intensified affairs.
Two purple fnches, suitors for the
favor of the same sparrowiike maiden,
placed themselves on each side about a
foot from her and offered n musical
contest. First one burst into rapturous
song, flying up into the air, feathers
1uffed out and snowy breast and rosy
shoulders more lovely than ever The
solo finished, he dropped back to bis
perch and politely waited, while his
rival poured out his madrigal This
alternate display continued several
minutes, and apparently the umpire
found 1t hard to choose, for she evaded
decision by taking fight-both suitors
following.
Different was the method Of two
orchard orioles, one In the immature
plumage Of the second year, the other
in the full glory Of maturity. This
was wrangle, accompanied by scold-
ing and avian vituperation from begin
ming to end. If the theory Of selection
by fine dress be true, decision should
have been easy, but after a whole
days trial the fair one ended 1t by
truly feminine scorn of theories, elop-
ing with her palmer suitor, leaving the
gorgeous elder to console himself with
another bride-which he did before the
sun went down.-Collier's Weekly.
