The Senator hurried to the pantry, and, as
the cook was away, he hunted through Its
shelves and drawers himself At last he dug
up a package of soda, but not until he had
covered his black cheviot frock coat with
mixture of -four, cornmeaI and dust He then
carefully powdered the burn with soda, ana,
taking out silk handkerchief from his pocket,
he bound up the injured hand with the care
and attention of a nurse. The handkerchief was
an EXPENSIVE one but when the photographer
said he would return II soon as he got home
the Senator said:

was walking briskly He caught sight Of some

then returned and kicked a banana peel into

Mr. Higgins perceived that the two men had
not recognized him as fellow member. and

The two men appeared dazed, and as Mr.. Hig-

An old man in OF the poorhouses OF the
county receives from him from time TO tins a
flve-dollar bill for tobacco. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Higgins has the reputation OF being COW
ertly generous He objects to having his bene-
factions known. For number OF years he has
been in the habit OF supplying from his stores q
dinner for every needy family In Olean. The
giver OF these dinners never known until
some one in the secret told of their source. He
was much offended at the leakage. 1t is gem
orally understood. although one has difficulty in
getting definite confirmation OF the fact that
he was the giver Of sum OF money for laying
out the park in Oiean. Olean is to celebrate its
centennial on October and Z, and a monu-
ment was to be unveiled In the park at that
time. There was no money available In the pub
lie treasury. however. for the purpose of laying
out the surroundings.
When the Spanish-American War broke out
he was at the head of committee organized to
raise funds to make up TO the members OF the
Olean Company of the National Guard the de-
hciency between the money they earned at their
regular employment and their pay as soldiers
This committee raised $4,000. and the whole
company enabled to go TO the front with
the assurance that their families would be taken
care of.
Mr. Higgins has long enjoyed the reputation
of being the best dressed man at the capital
Though of plain design and OF a tint inclined

are Of the finest texture and faultlessly fash
ioned.
1t was FOR this reason that when he first went
TO Albany in 1898 as a Senator he met with
many odd experiences at the hands OF certain
strangers. On the first day of his career as a
Senator. for instance. Mr. Higgins happened to
be talking with two New-York City members.
