CHARACTERISTIC speeches in attacking cor
poratlons. he had peculiar style of de-
livery, and as he warmed to his subject it
was his habit to move restlessy from one
side of the chamber to the other, contin-
ually talking. He talked so fast that he
often ''sputtered,' and senators were care
full to keep out of range of the moisture he
Kissed through his closely-set teeth, SAYS

Mr.. ingalls, and Mr.. Spooner once sat
directly in front of Mr.. Punch" as SEN
ator Van Wyck was often called, because
of his resemblance to shat noted character,
when he was delivering an imprisoned ut
tecance, and an atom of spray rested upon
the hand of the immaculate ingalls,.
He adjusted his spectacles, carefully
inspected his soiled hand, and deliberate
ly signaled for one of the pages to come
to him. Then in one of his famous whis-
pers, which penetrated the entire chamber,
ingalls, said:
"Boy, bring an umbrella for Senator
Spooner and a rubber overcoat for me. -
The incident provoked general laugh
ter, but it did not interfere with Van
Wycks speech. He simply shifted his
position so as to get beyond range Of
his always faultlessly dressed and sar-
castle colleague.
