WASHINGTON STORIES.
Interesting Chat About Men Prominent
ira the Public Eve.

Senator Newlands, of Nevada, was
delivering his maiden speech in the
Senate-in support of his resolution in
Wiling Cuba to become a state of the
Union. He had warmed up to his sub
Ject even more than on the day when
ne attempted to attach his annexation
clause to the Cuban Reciprocity bill in
the House, and was forced to desist by
the shower of waste paper and other
missiles aimed at him by his colleagues.
AS the Senator worked himself up to
the peroration, he exclaimed in pas
slonate tones, This argument fur
nlshes every kind of fuel that eloquence
needs" But the Senator's tender So
licitude for his grafton was destined
to receive severe shock. A few hours
later he was handed the notes of the
official reporter. Coming to the pas
sage quoted he read, This argument
furnishes every kind of food that ele-
plants need" So great was his horror
at the garbled report that he appealed
to the nearest Senator for sympathy.
1t happened to be Senator Hale, who is
noted for his sarcasm. Adjusting his
glasses, the Senator from Maine
scanned the page and then remarked
dryly, But even elephants could not
digest it,

During the Postofice investigation a
newspaper man, covering the assign
ment regularly, was wont toaappear at
the department in a hat that looked as
though it had done service in the Mex
lean War, and had then been discarded
because it's days of usefulness had
passed. The wearer of this dila pidated
headgear was a daily visitor to the
office of the Postmaster General and
for time on friendly terms with his
private secretary. Every time, how
ever, that the newspaper man entered
his office Private Secretary Whitney
was confronted with this unfortunate
reminder of ante-b ellum days perched
jauntily on the head of his visitor
Now France" Whitney while long
suffering, is essentially good natured
and, at first, he ventured only mild
remonStrance against the resurrection
OF this relic of the past, but the news
paper man persisted in sporting the
headpiece, and Whitney determined on
heroic measures. When the news
paper man next appeared. the messen-
ger was instructed to purloin the anti
quated head covering. Directly this
was done, Whitney officially referred
the hat to the Office of the Chief of
Postoffice Inspectors, where it was to
be held for reference. 1t now slumbers
among the archives of the Postoffice
Department, and the only casualties
thus far reported are the newspaper
mans parting with considerable slice
of his salary to acquire an up-to-date
hat and to settle for a quiet little dinner
to those who We're ON the inside.

Solely to guard against accidents on
my way out home, invested in small

this coat, the cork worked loose and the
contents trickled out soaking right

ture is noticeable on the outside. This
flask was intended for totally differ

THE ANVIL CHORUS.

For the benefit of the "big" man with
the tiny hammer, note:
1. The highest price OF the Douglas

only $4,000. 1t has never been more.
.. The lowest price is $500 with in
termediate prices of $500 and $4,000.
Every Douglas" is guaranteed for
three years from the date of sale,
against imperfectionS in workmanship
and material.
3. Advertising has not raised the
price of the Douglas" one cent. The
increasing sale of the Douglas" tends
to lower the price. Watch!
4. In the "musical'' interpretations
of the anvil chorus" as invidiously
circulated by the Douglas" enemies,
the holds are read as notes; the public
knows the rest
5. Cut this out and paste it in your
hat for future reference.
