newspaper work. He came to Wash
ington in the course of his wander
ings and got a place as reporter on
the Evening Star After working there
few months he suddenly took 1t into
his head to strike west again. and no
body in Washington heard thing
from him until 1894, when word
reached here of the eccentricity Of a
person of the same name who. wishing
to be appointed United States marshal
under the Cleveland administration.
had written his application on a piece
of birch bark. The novel petition was
granted. but Bede soon gave up the
job because he couldn't stand for the
proposition that a government official
must give up active interest in poll
tics.
Bede was a democrat then Of a pref
ty stiff type. He resigned his place
and put in a lot Of hard work for
sound money. In 1896. when the Chi
cago convention was captured by free
silver, he became a republican, and he
has been one ever since
Bede has one distinction for a new
member. He got fine piece of pat
ronage before he had warmed his seat
in the house. He was on deck when
the vacancy came on the civil service
commission through the resignation of
Commissioner Foulke, and he prompt
ly secured the appointment of a con-
stituent of his to the vacancy.

Speaker Reed. The privilege then was
abused SO that the lobby had to be
closed again, but Speaker Cannon be-
lieves he can restore the privilege I'M
der restrictions which will make 1t
generally acceptable without abuse.
At present members of the house are
in an embarrassing position frequently
through the absence Of any retiring
room where they can receive callers.
If one of them receives . card from
somebody whom he wishes greatly II
see he must go out into the public
corridor, where he IL apt to be set
upon by dozens Of individuals whom
he has been trying to avoid. There Is
no compromise. Either he must give
up the caller he wishes to see or else
take his chances with the crowd.
Speaker Cannon proposes that hereaf-

Herr Strauss Is not taking his own or
chestra with him, but will find the Amer
lean orchestras ready for him as he
passes from city to city. He is an ad-
mirable conductor-which Is a lucky
thing for his music. for there are very
few other wielders Of the baton who can
show how effective his strange and ter
rifically up-to-date compositions are
when once you get tie idea Of them. The
frst impression 1t makes on those who
are not skilled musicians Is that the man
has undertaken to set German grammar
to music, but a second or third hearing
Of 1t captures the hearer or else makes
him an enemy for life.
Personally. Herr Strauss-who Is not
related to the Viennese Strausses Of
waltz fame-is simple. earnest-minded
man, who has no Alterations. wears his
hair short. and believes sincerely that
music can be made to express the most
complex problems of the deepest mind

mutual friends, they discovered that
they had no serious distrust and hos
tility. Mr.. Hepburn is most bitter and
able fighter, and Is unable to go into any
door light in q half-hearted way. He
found himself clashing frequently with
Mr.. Cannon on matters OF public mo-
ment. He exchanged words with the
Illinois member Of the bitterest sort in
the discussion Of certain appropriations
In which Iowa was interested and which
Mr.. Cannon opposed. The real clash be-
tween the two men came when Mr.. Can
non refused to give sanction to Mr.. Hep
burns isthmian canal views and plans
for m Immediate step in the direction
Of canal. Following q heated exchange
within the bounds Of parliamentary pro-
cedure the two men met outside the
house. Mr.. Hepburn showed clearly
that he had made the floor fight per-
sonal matter. He was unforgiving
toward Mr.. Cannon for his show OF ef-
fective strength, through which the
fayorite canal measure OF Mr.. Hepburn
was defeated. From that time. while
each avoided carefully and disparaging
reference to the other. 1t was well known
that they did not speak and were not
friendly.
Members Of the house generally COM
mented upon the development OF the
f,rst day, establishing the renewed
friendly relations Of the two as most
favorable for the success of Mr.. Can
mons administration Is speaker. They
construed It as indicating the broad
eauee Of the Illinois man. who at the
moment OF his triumph chose for his
close associate man toward whom ne
vas in 1 better position to show effective
recruitment than ct any time IN his
career. It Is admitted that Mr.. Cannon's
6rst overtures toward Hepburn were
prompted solely by sincere desire to
- Marty success in the house.

Congressman Hepburn burn have shared
the laurels of debate between them.
There has been nobody else who could
quite touch either of them; and they
were fairly even match. 1t was in
evitable that the two should clash;
and the row came in the heat Of de-
hate. Hepburn thought Cannon made
his remarks needlessly personal. Can
non couldn't see it in that light. and so
for many months these republican
gladiatOrs never spoke as they passed.
1t looked as though the feud would
be a lasting one; but a year ago when
speaker Hepburn, like the big-minded
fellow that he is, walked into Cannon's
headquarters one day. held out his
hand and exclaimed: Joe, I'm going
to vote for YOU" That was one of the
early things that set the tide flowing
toward the Illinois man, and now that
congress is at work and he has
achieved the ambition of his life he
signalizes the reconciliation by asking
Hepburn to put him in nomination in
the house-which, of course, Hepburn
does cheerfully.
There was a significance in the incl
dent that was not generally under
stood. but 1t meant a great deal for
party harmony during these coming
two years. Hepburn will come very
close to being the republican leader on
the floor. He's q little outside the or
ganization. just as Cannon. was during
the Henderson regime; but Cannon
was the real leader then in spite of his
isolation.

Father Morys offered 70 go on his bond.
Father Wiezok declined the offer.
The young woman on whose account the
two priests quarreled Is an unusually
comely girl and is domestic in Father
Morys' house. Father Wiezok was for
merly assistant pastor OF st. Stanislaus
church, but was transferred last June 70

practically suspended himself from his
priestly functions by bringing his charges
before criminal court without procuring
