LOT the greater portion of the>itime
after the close of the civil war until
his death his fame rested under a
cloud among some of his own people,
because after swords were transformed
into agricultural implements he allied
himself with the opposition party.
3 at the close of the war Longstreet
became a republican and he remained
a republican until the end. Some of
his neighbors, forgetful of the splendid
services he had rendered the confed-
eracy in the field, ostracized him. They
refused to recognize him at the re-
unions of confederate veterans and for
years he lived as a stranger in a
strange land. Now that he is dead per-
haps his reward nay come, but the
tragedy of his life cannot be obliter-
ated.
Oflate years he has been a resident OF
Washington occupying the sinecure po-
:sitioI Of railroad commissioner, which.
was occupied before him by another
confederate soldier, Joseph f. John
ston.

name by which he is most Familiarity
known. Ise has carried it from boy
hood. One day or his way to school
little Tim picked up a revenue beer
stamp. He thought it was a dollar bill.
IL a been raining and the stamp was
wet so when he reached the school he
pinned the stamp on the wall near the
stove. The teacher asked him what he
was doing and he replied shat he was
trying to dry that dollar The boys
caught on as boys will and from that
day to this he has been known as DRY
Dollar Tim" Since that memorable
day Tim Sullivan has learned a great
deal about the medium of exchange.
He has over a million and a half of
dry dollars now. He owns theaters,
race horses and race tracks and he is
as well known in the sporting world as
In politics. Most Of DRY Dollars" ed
ucation he picked up in the streets.
His school days were few. He began
to make money by selling papers and
most Of the information he picked up
was gathered from the papers he sold
and from the racy talk of the streets.
To this day he says his reading is con-
fined to the newspapers. He buys a
lot OF them and reads them all. When
he is through with them he has little
time for anything else.

Powers is a man Of ability and he is
also a thoroughly good fellow. He is
one of the few members who has man
aged to attract the attention of the
house during his first term in congress-.
When he landed in Washington to be-
gin his congressional career the first
thing that impressed him was the utter
insignificance of the new member I'M
der the hard and fast system Of prefer
ment which prevails. He lay around
for a few weeks. wondering why he
ever consented to come to Washington
at all, and calling himself all sorts of
names He talked around among some
of the other new members and found
that most Of them felt about as he did.
Then he had an inspiration.
He organized the new members into
a club, which he called the Tantalus
! Tub, because it is the fate of the new
member to be constantly hoping to. get
somewhere and never reaching the
goal. He got them all together for a
dinner. He was, made president by &C
'clamation, and the 1lrst dinner was
such a success that they had another
and another. The beauty about the
dinners was that the members who
would never get a chance to talk in
the house under the rules could be rec
ognized and show what there was in
them. The Tantalus club dinners be-
came a feature of Washington. Ev-
erybody wanted to go to them and no.
body could get in. The old members
for once had to take a subordinate po-
sition. Powers became the best of all
the new men and he speedily became a
factor to be reckoned with. If he were
to stay in congress he would cut a big
figure, but he is going to leave.

right it is hard to say where his am
bition will carry him. Fer he has plen-,
ty of ambition and he has plenty OF
capacity. He has an acute mind. He
has ample assurance. He has industry.
He has a wonderfully attractive per.
sonality.
If Beverage were not in politics he
could make a handsome living with his
pen. 1t is possible, too, that he might
make a great success in business. His
closest friend is George w. Perkins. of
the firm of j. p. Morgan & Co.
Beyeridge ran into George w. Per-
kins in Indianapolis when both were
ambitious young fellows with their
way to make in the world. They met
for the first time on a trial trip that
was made on an Indianapolis trolley
line and they were attracted to each
other at once. After that trip one OF
the big financial magnates of Indian
apolis asked Beveridge what he
thought of his new acquaintance.
Il believe" said Beveridge, who was
then a boy lawyer. that Perkins win
be the most powerful financial figure
in the United States"
Perkins was then a life insurance
man and there was no superficial indi-
cation of his future. But before long
he was called to New York and he is
rapidly advancing to the position
which Beverage picked out for him.
The two are great chums now. They.
spend all the time together they can,
and each goes to the other for advice,
but neither ever asks the other for a
favor. That Is the compact between
them.

down on an historic group of southern
military heroes. There were Wade
Hampton and M. c. Butler, those fine
types of the rebel brigadier" about
whom Ben Butler used to storm; Isham
Harris, OIL Tennessee; Malone, of Vir-
ginia; John B. Gordon and Colquitt, of
Georgia; Walthall. of Mississippi,
whom Lamar used to say would have
succeeded Lee if Lee for n reason
had fallen by the wayside, and whom
Senator Hoar describes as the finest
type of southern statesman; Zeb
Vance, of North Carolina, the idol of
the old north state. In the senate now
there are only three or four. Cockrell,
of Missouri, had an enviable record.
So had Morgan and Pettus of Alabama.
Another interesting survival is Bate,
of Tennessee. Bate limps about on a
shortened leg to show for his expert
ence in fighting the battles of the con-
federacy. Bate is known among his
colleagues and has been known for
years as the ma who smokes a
lighted cigar. He is never without a
cigar in his mouth, but it is always
what is known al a dry smoke. There
is a reason for this to which the Ten
nessee senator rarely refers. During
the civil war he was riding into action
once with his brother by his side. He
was smoking a cigar. A bullet sped
by, caught his cigar from between his
lips and speeding past killed his COM
panion. From that day Bate has never
lighted a cigar. And he V will.
Bate rarely opens his mouth in the
senate, but he is now one of the most
experienced members of that body. He
is serving his third term.

Woman Arrested.

Pretty Hattie Pitcher, the school
teacher, who was mysteriously
wounded by IA pistol bullet on the
night Wilbur Quirk, the clerk at Col
Inns drug store, at Miller, was held
up, is in jail, accused of direct COM
pliclty in the bold attempted rob-
berry.
1T is intimatedt that the handsome
young woman may have had the as
s%istance of well-known persons III her
alleged crime. The warrant upon
which she was arrested was sworn to
by half a dozen prominent business
men, and accuses Miss Pitcher of as
sault with intent to commit felony
and with administering ether to Will
bur Quirk to enable herself and other
persons unknown to commit robbery.
When arrested by the sheriff, the
beautiful girl protested her innocence,
but lost not a whit of her dignity.
She led the officer along the railroad
track to a point half a mile east. of
town and there told him where to
find a revolver. This he secured and
Miss Pitcher told him that it was
with that weapon she was shot in the
right shoulder.

and two others to the penitentiary,
was taken by the sheriff. to the Faux.

sentence being made by Judge Gaffy
at Fort Pierre.
Bowker was convicted of defacing,
changing and celebrating brands on
cattle in the reservation country. He
said that less Of this work was being
done on the reservation now because
the gang was being broken up by
some OF the leaders being sen to the
penltentiary and others leaving the
country. There was a time, Bowker
said, when it was an easy matter to
make these changes on cattle and get
them out of the country to sell, but
that was because the officers could
not secure a jury.
Bowker is only seventeen years old.
but he has been in the business with
several partners for the last five or
six years, and claims to have made
good money in getting away with
good punches of cattle. He said he
got off easy with only a year in the
