from publ. life he will be missed moro
generally than any other man now in
the senate, for his are the qualities which
always attract attention and when he is
in busin:Ss the rest of the senate are
kept busy guessing. He is one of the most
delightful men in public life. In CONVEX
sation he is fascinating. AnecGote, wit
ticisms and literary illusions fall from
his lips in a continuous stream. Scores
of vastly entertaining volumes might be
compiled by one who would follow the
Massachusetts senator about and take
down his daily gossippings. A part of
his memories he has compiled himself
in the random autobiography which has
just been published, but they are only
fraction of the interesting things he
could tell. Curiously enough, Senator
Hoar has never been quite on the in
side" of national politics, great as is his
prestige in the senate. He has never
been one of the managing men of con-
gress, but has rather been regarded as
sage. He likes to talk of himself as an
old man, yet his mind is as clear and Wig
orous as it ever was and age has only
ripened and enriched it. He is as quick
in repartee as any man in the senate and
he does not fear anybody in debate. That
he may live long to enjoy his hoDors and
has prestige is the wish even of those
who lose patience with him at times.

sticklers for form, like Spooner and
Platt. If Senator Edmunds were still in
the, senate it is safe to say that these vio-
lations of the spirit of the executive ses-
sion rule would be cut off abruptly, for
Edmunds never hesitated to call BROTH
er senator down when things seemed to
be going contrary to established preced-
ents. Just now there is nobody in the sem
ate with quite Edmund,s sublime indif-
ferenceto the feelings of his neighbor, SO
the violators of tradition go merrily on
and will continue to do so until it NAV
be that the executive session will have
become a thing of memory. This de-
velopmsnt is after all only natural out
come of the newspaper enterprise which
for years has made the executive session
something of farce. Not within recent
memory has an executive session been
held about which the newspaper men
did not learn sooner or later and the pro-
.ceedings have been regularly published
as a matter of course. There are some
senators naturally who think it just as
we'll that what they say should be form
ally reported and officially disseminated
since the substance of it is sure to get
into the newspapers. If the executive
session were to be abolished altogether
it would save good many white lies on
the part of senators. There never yet
was a secret session the proceedings Of
which it was not to the personal inter-
est of some senator to make public.

man Worthington was made a repre-
sentative from Nevada near the close
of the civil war and he arrived in Wash
Ington just in time to take part in the
proceedings necessary to the adoption
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to secure which Nevada was made
a state. Afterwards he represented the.
United States in Uruguay and the Ar
gentine Republic. He was selected to
serve as pallbearer for Abraham Lin
coin during the brief time of his service
in the house. He is to-day the sole sur
vivor of those who bore the body of the
martyred president to his grave. There
Is little left for the old man now. He is
poverty stricken and ill and yet he con-
tinues to hold the regard of those mem
bers of congress who remember what he
was and who help him to exc out scanty
existence by giving odd jobs about the
capitol. In all his misfortune this veneer
able derelict has kept up his good
spirits and has not lost the power to en-
terrain. He has seen many interesting
men and scenes and he knows how to
tell about them. In his earlier days he
was said to be strikingly handsome and
extremely popular. That may be easily
imagined by one who sees him now, for
he has the fading memory of such things

Of the happiest RESPONSES imaginable,
catching his auditors, who included the
leaders of congress and other prominent
men, with the aptness and thorough good
feeling of his remarks. He had been in
the United States less than week and he
had hardly freed himself of his sea legs
He knew nothing about American habits
and traditions except what he had read
in the somewhat uncongenial atmos-
he showed an appreciation of Anne rican
ways that some foreign representatives
spend years in Washington without ac-
curing. 1t is little of puzzle to the
new ambassador that so many Amer
leans seem to have the faculty OF public
speech. In his own country it is not near
ly so frequently found as here, and the
readiness and aptness Of the average
Yankee on his feet are source of con-
tinual amaZement to him. Probably
after he has been here awhile and has
made a few after dinner speeches in his
own tactful vein he will be less at loss
to account for the universally Of a
talent which he has possessed uncon-
sciously all these years. Sir Mortimer is
assured already of great popularity in
Washington, and from present prospects
he will occupy worthily the place left
vacant by the demise of Pauncefote and
Herbsrt, two of the most attractive per-
soralities who have ever graced the
Washington diplomatic colony.

Died From Eating Shot.

His intestines perforated several hum
dred times by shot that he had swal-
lowed when eating wild game that had
fallen to his gun, Chris Larson of Nc
Intos h died in the Bethesda hospital
at Crookston, while his medical attend
ents were ignorant of the nature of his
aliment.
A post norton examination revealed
the astonishing condition of the man,
a condition such as never has been no
Ted before in modern surgery.
Larson owned an eightyacre farm
near Mcintosh. He was extremely &C.
centric and refused to sleep anywhere
but on a heap of straw in a sta BILE, with
his horses and cattle-never having
any more adequate covering than an
old binder canvas.
His diet consisted mainly of wild
game, such as ra bbits, prairie chickens,
ducks and geese, supplemented with
additions of vegetables as he was able
to raise on the farm. Altho eccentric,
he was thrifty and managed to work
his land to good advantage.

DeS ia N'e MUMMY Chesapeake and the
game and vegetables of the eastern
shore. The biggest of the markets is the
Center market, which occupies two of
the most sitely squares in the center Of
the city not far from the Pennsylvania
railroad station and which pays the Dis
trict of Columbia ayearly rental of ST.
900 for the plot under a 99-year lease.
That is about as profitable proposition
as anybody could ask for. A rental
of 100000 for those particular squares
would not be an unreasonable price, but
the District has to grin and bear it. At
the time the Center market was es-
tablish it was really something of an
achievement for the District to lease the
land at all, so that perhaps nobody after
all has been seriously wronged. An in
teresting feature of the markets here, Eor
only the Center market, but the others,
is the great plumber of typical southern
darkies who have stands on the streets
adjoining. These sable vendors have oc-
cupied their stands, coming in from the
country early in the morning year in and
year out, until they have proscriptive
right and nobody would ever think OF
ousting them. They form picturesque
body which makes it we'll worth the
while of northern visitor to stroll about
the markets along. about .daybreak, be-
fore the business of the streets has be-
gun to rush. 1t is about the only sur
vival we have of the old southern Gus
toms and ways For Washington is
rapidly becoming a northern town in all
its habits.
