last, having been stricken while on the
floor. In this room there is now genial
gentleman who has been clerk Of the
house for ten years, or ever since the
republicans regained control in 1895.
He is Maj Alexander Mcdowell of Penn
sylvania, and he is likely to hold that
Office as long as the republicans re-
main in power in the house if he wants
to. He is extremely popular, as much
on account of his ability as a racon-
teur as anything else, as he has fund
of amusing and timely stories always
on tap.
Maj. Mcdowell is a veteran of the
civil war; but is never heard to boast
of his exploits during that trouble. He
is much given to Joking his old COM
rades about war experiences and is in
inclined to queer" some of the tales
they are prone to tell about the part
they played in the army. He relates
an incident that occurred not long ago
at a Grand Army reunion, where one
of the veterans held his hearsrs spell
bound as he told of miraculous ex-
perience he had had with a confederate
bulletin one of the biggest battles of the
civil war This old soldier related how
in the din of battle he distinctly heard
whispered in his ear the warning, "Pll
hit you, I'll hit you!" A moment after
he was struck in the arm by ball.
Maj. Mcdowell followed this soldier
and declared that he, too, had had
similar experience. At the battle of
Fredericksburg he, too, had distinctly
heard that whispered warning, "I'll hit
you, I'll hit you, I'll hit you!" when
l heard that whisper declared the ma
jor, 81 said to myself: I'll be derned if
you do and got behind tree"

Statuary hall is a great show place
for visitors at the capitol and the
guides have the history of the statues
at their tongues end. In addition to
the marble statues this hall is cele-
brated as whispering gallery and for
oddities in acoustics. Persons on the
opposite side of the big room, when
standing on particular spots, can con-
verse with each other in whispers. al
though the hall may be crowded. In
another spot when person is spoken
TO by another at a distance the sound
of the speakers voice seems to be over
his head and in tremendous volume.
The ceiling Of this old hall was recon
structed two or three years ago and
some of the peculiar echoes were de-
stroyed, but enough remain to help the
capitol guides earn their fees by anus
ing the visitors.

with any proposition to amend the
present tariff laws. He says he wants
bill of particulars brought in to show
wherein the present law works any in
justice to the country. The other day
he called at the white house and had a
talk with President Roosevelt on the
subject. Much as these two men differ
in their tariff views, they are very
warm friends and all their conferences
are characterized by good nature.
The president asked Gen. GrosvenOr
il he had studied the tariff schedules
and found any on which the duties
could be lowered. The general said
that he had found just one. In looking
over the law he found that there was
duty of one dollar ton on basic Stag.
He said he did not know what basic
Stag was until he looked it up and
found that it was used as a fertilizer.
AS it is the policy to admit all ferti-
lizers. anything calculated to increase
the productiveness of the farmers land
free. of cost, he thought this one dollar
a ton duty might be taken off basic
Stag.
Gen. Grosvenor's other nickname in
the house is'' Old Figgers." He earned
this by predicting very closely the ma
jority the republicans would have in
the Fifty-fourth congress when they
came back into power. He followed
this up with very close predictions of

So far there are but 10 states repre-
sented in Statuary hall, and some of
them by only one noted son. Some of
the newer states are waiting to see
what the future and their history may
reveal before selecting the man or men
who might best represent them in this
group. There is an unwritten rule that
the noted sons who are given a place
in Statuary hall must be selected from
those who are dead and gone. Some of
the newer states may have to wait
good many years before they will have
a list of dead statesmen to select from.

SUGGESTION OFFERED.
Good Plan to Secure Constant
Water Supply TOR This City.


Suggestions have been made by in
terested persons to the board OF al
dermen deemiuR IL wise to put beavers
on Newlin creek to sec=re . constap t
supply Of water. Beavers being in
she habit Of building dams it would
not be long before chain Of them
would be built all along Newlin creek.
These would conserve the water aud
il is claimed would nearly always be
full; thus assuring a constant supply
Of water.
Although these are protected ami
mails q permit could be secured from
the state game commissioner for re-
moving them from others waters here
abouts to the source Of the city's
water supply. Spring ia said to be
the best season of the year for the re-
moval Of the beavers.
Although the suggestion has been
made repeatedly to city officials by
those who have experimented along
these lines, nothing definite has been
done nv those In authority.

While going home from a town
where he had delivered a lecture he
was the only passenger on a horse
car that got stalled. because of a
heavy snow storm, in a lonesome To-
cality.
Asking the conductor the location Of
the nearest house, Father Scully
reached it after a weary half-mile walk
throgh the snow. Knocking on the
door. he asked and was granted the
privilege OF entering by a kindly faced
woman. He cd not disclose his iden-

the stove he asked for something to
eat and something hot to drink.

Written Appeal to Rats

Over on the west side Of the city
long row of old fashioned dwellings
has been torn down this spring to
make way for some modern business
buildings. While they were being de-
molished the contractor in charge was
approached one day by a workman,
who handed him a soiled and worn
envelope which had been found amolg
the brick and plaster.
The faded inscription, "Mr. Gray
Rat" prompted the contractor to read
the letter. II ran:
Dear Mr.. Rat: Although we real.
lie that our house is greatly honored
