gress first began, but it may be doubted
whether Spooner, in his own field, has
ever been surpassed.
He is little fellow, hardly more
than five feet five, and that seems to
add to his effectiveness, for he is a
bundle of nerves and brains.
He made a speech the other day in
defense OF the Panama policy of the
administration which Plat, of Connec-
ticut, declared to be the greatest speech
he had ever listened to. And Platt has
been in the senate % years, is over 70
years old and is not addicted to ex-
trayagance of statement
Spooner's speeches are always sur
prises. He never knows five minutes
before he speaks whether he is going
to say anything or not. Of course he
is always prepared when great ques-
ton is before the senate and his great
ability as lawyer enables him to put
himself in condition for emergencies.
But he never wrote out speech in his
life and probably would not know how
to Go it. He stores himself with fact
and argument and then depends on
the Inspiration of the moment to give
him the impetus. Once on his feet
there is no stopping him. He is like
whirlwind and carries everything be-
fore him. He is profound, pungent,
brilliant, witty, quick as a flash and
dramatic.

pubic has not grown weary reading
these stories. The fact OF the matter is,
that in Andrew Carnegie the philan-
thropist and public benefactor, the world
has been given new view of the rich
man and his money. Never before in the
history of man has such settled policy
for the distribution of an immense for

reads like a romance. But the story OF
the accumulation of Andrew Carnegie's
fortune, while intensely interesting and
while it shows what young man can
accomplish who Is not afraid of hard
work, who is ambitious and who has
the business instinct and foresight, still
it is not strikingly different from the
biographies of other of he worlds sue
cessful business men. The story of the
accumulation of wealth is an old ore.

through Mr.. Carnegies generosity are:

Stevens institute at HoboMen, N. j., an
observatory to Allegheny, and at)Pitts-

Carnegie, for it has been the of all
his triumphs in the Industrial and tinan-

amounted to $7000,000, which amount
does rot include the 5000 900 given for
the benefit of his steel workers, in the
way of technical schools, libraries and
sick benefits for the families of the

But this year it is altogether different.
One reason for this is doubtless the
general understanding that the pres
ent congress is not going to make
heavy appropriations. There is little
here now to encourage the presence of
lobby. Schemes involving the ex-
Denditure of money by the government
have been placed in cold storage to
await the coming of better day.
There is no tariff to receive attention
from the friends of various industries.
In short the lobby is out of job this
winter and the hotels suffer in con.

congresses for its economy unless all

ton to egg Tillman on. AS soon as he
sees the South Carolina man listening
intently he seizes intuitively upon a
line of attack which he knows must
rouse the southerner to rage. Tillman
never fails to respond. But Tillman
in debate is a blusterer. He never
recognizes the rules of parliamentary
controversy. He yields his pitchfork
on every occasion and so he falls an
easy victim to the clean wit, the self
poised eloquence and the keen, in
cisive thrusts of the little giant from
Wisconsin.
Spooner invariably throws Tillman
Into perfect rage.
And yet personally Spooner and
Tillman are the very best of friends
They have been drawn to each other
ever since they first came together,
for, after all. both are manly fellows
and lileable. Spooner has a way of
telling people his frank opinion about
them and he did this with Tillman
very soon after the South Carolina
man arrived in Washington. Tillman
ignored the advice, but he liked the
man who gave it.
Tillman, with all his uncouthness in
public, is one of the best educated and
most charming men personally to be
found in public life. His private talk
Is filled with classic reference and lit
erary allusion. He has command of
vivid and picturesque English vocabu-
larry Of which any man might be en-
vious. He is thoroughly good fellow
and there isn't a man in the senate
who doesn't like him. He refuses to
throw away his pitchfork because he
believes that he owes his success to it.
