ginia since 1896. He is also a lawyer
and before going to Washington serv-
ed in the Virginia house of delegates
and in the senate of the state. He is
forty-eight years old.
Joseph Little Bristow, who is credit
ed with the authorship of the report
which stirred up so many of Uncle
Sans lawmakers, has been fourth as
sistant postmaster general since 1897.
He is a native of Kentucky, but for
many years was a resident of Kansas,
where he became prominent as an edi-
tor. 1t was Mr.. Bristow who had
charge of the prosecution of the postal
frauds in Cuba.
Mr.. Bristow has a reputation for
nerve that was earned back in the
nineties, when he was running the
Salina (Kan.) Republican. A negro
named Hudson had been arrested ON
suspicion of having assaulted a wo-
man. A mob took him from the Jail
and prepared to lynch him. AS the
mob passed the entrance to a stairway
leading back from the street some
friendly hand cut the negro's bonds
and slipped the moose from his neck.
In an instant he broke from his cap
tors and dashed into the entrance way.
The negro would have been caught,
but as the mob rushed to get into the
entrance way it was blocked by the
tall, gaunt form of Bristow.
Bracing himself with a hand on Ell
Their side of the entrance, Bristow
alone faced the yelling mob. They
tore at him to loosen his grip, but he
held ON with marvellous tenacity. OF
course no one could long withstand
the rush of that crowd of maddened
men. They wrenched him loose,
dragged him into the street, and some
one hit him a terrible blow on the head
with a revolver. The blow felled Bris-
tow and partially stunned him, but in
q moment he was up, the blood stream
ing down his face from the wound on
mis- head. Drawing his p~ocketknife, he
turned upon the crowd with the intent
of fighting the entire aggregation. His
friends realized that this would NEAR
certain death to Bristow and dragged
him away. But his stand had been the
means of saving the life of Hudson,
who had in the meantime made good
his escape. 1t afterward developed
that the negro was innocent.

THE CONGRESS- ROW
STATESMEN WHO FIGURED IN THE
REcENr TURMOIL IN THE HOUSE.

How the Special Postomce Report
gresham Hay, Whose Resolution
Started the .Afair-Baby and Bee.
Not in years has there been such a
turmoil in congress as that aroused
when Chairman Oyerstreet of the com
mittee on postofiices and post roads
presented the special report from the
postoffice department which implicated
151 members of the house in the post
Office scandals.
The report which caused all the trou-
BILE had been lying in Chairman Over
streets committee room for a couple
of months and was called out of COM
mittee by a resolution introduced by
Congressman James Hay of Virginia.
Its reading caused a scene rarely wit
messed in the house, the involved mem
bers all demanding an investigation
at once.
The next morning the matter was be-
ing discussed with President Roose-
welt, and a member told the president
the parable of the bee and the baby, to
the v%ociferous delight of the chief ex-
ecutive, who had never heard it be-
fore.
"What is that child crying for?' ask
ed a fond mother of the nurse, who
was endeayoring to quiet a riotous
baby.
HE is crying for a bee that is buzz
zing in the ROOM" said the nurse.
well" said the mother, baby must
have the bee. Give it to him.
A minute later the baby increased
his yells a hundredfold.
"Nurse," said the mother sternly, II
thought l told you to give that bee to
the babyY"
81 did" the nurse replied.
Chairman Jesse Overstreet, who rep
resents the Seventh Qndianapolis) dis
trict of Indiana, is serving his fifth
term as q member of the house. He is
a native of the Hoosier State and a
lawyer by profession. He early took
an interest in politics and in 1894,
when thirty-five years of age, was
elected to the Fifty-fourth congress.
Since then he has been regularly re-
turned and has become one of the
most influential men in the house. He
is serving his first term as chairman
of the committee on pOstofices and
post roads.
Congressman James Hay, whose res
olution caused the explosion, has rep
resented the Seventh district of Viz

by presidents and the wards by Dish
ops. As three men constitute the first
presidency over the whole church, so
each stake has q presidency of three
persons. The president of a stake is
named by the head of the church. and
he in TURF selects his own two coun-
sellers. The bishops of the wards are
also named by the president of he
church. The people of the wards send
up a name or names, and he selects
one as bishop. There are also officers
called teachers, who are selected by
the bishops. Thus all the officers are
selected by the president of the church
or by the men he has himself put into
office.
A stake usually comprises a county,
but because of the increase in popula-
ton there have been made as many as
three stakes in one county. In each
stake there are from five to thirty
wards.
According to Mr.. Jensen, the organ
ization of the church xtends to all
parts of Utah. and, aside from Salt
Lake, Weaver and Summit counties,
the Mormons were in a majority in all
the counties of the state. High Off
GERS of the church, who are supposed
to devote all of their time to its af-
fairs, are under obligations to get the
consent of the president if they desire
to enter other business or politics.
In regard to punishments for break
ing rules of the church, any member,
the president not excepted, is amena-
BILE to the bishop of his ward. A mem
ber's moral conduct is treated as a To-
cal affair in the ward in which he re-
sides. Mr.. Jensen said that If a Nor
mon should turn informer against a
polygamist who had continued to live
with plural wives since 1890 such in
former would be odious in the sight Of
most members of the church.
