his eye." Good for burns and

by an intelligent lot Of doorkeepel.,
who have developed decided detective
ability. When a stranger asks to see a
member and presents his card the door
keepers size up the man, and from long
experience are able to determine whether
he is such one as the member would like
to see If the stranger looks like man
gresham for temporary loan, the door
keeper turns down the upper left-hand
corner of the visitors card and hands it
to a page. That little dent in the piece
of pasteboard is sufficient tip to the
youngster. 1t means that he is not to
find the congressman, although the lat
ter may be in plain view at his seat
There is a rigid rule against begging
in the capitol or the soliciting of orders
for books, etc. Some of the minor lob
byists are little else than genteel beg
CARS, and the corps of police and mes
sengers have been instructed to prevent
them annoying the members. They have
them all pretty well spotted, and it is
seldom now that a "panhandler" can
reach a congressman at the capitol. The
favorite game of these strikers" is to
represent themselves as being from the
congressman's~d district and stranded in
Washington, where they have come on
business. They usually want enough to
pay a hotel bill or the price of a. ticket
home. Their business is not as flourish
ing as twas a few years ago before the
capitol force Of employees was so well
drilled.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1905-02-03

long been known throughout the coun-
try as having the worst street car SER
vice of any city Of considerable size.
The worlds fair in 1892 brought some
little improvement, for Chicago had to
do. something in order to be ready to
handle the increased multitudes, but in
the more than ten years which have
come and gone since then, little has been
done towards settling the vexing ques-
ton. This protracted delay In the hand
ling of this matter has been, to say the
least, distracting, and there seemed little
prospect that the matter would be salts
factOrily settled for another decade, The
traction companies have not been ready
to agree to any proposition which the
city might make, and the city could not
yield to the demands of the traction
grown more complex.
But there is now bright prospect that
Chicago is to be delivered from her try
ing difficulty. New York capitalists,
headed by Mr.. J. P. Morgan, propose to
buy up the two companies and, merging
them under one management, rehabili-
tate the lines by an expenditure OF any,
where from $50 900, 900 to $4,000, 900, pro-
vided, of course, that the city makes
some concessions to the traction inter-
ests: These New York capitalists arc
ready with $36,000,000 to buy up the
present stock of the two companies at
5000 per share, and it is assured that such
prominent Chicagoans as Marshall Field,
John J. Mitchell, P. A. Valentine, the
Armours. etc., shall remain identified
with the street railways. One Of the ad-
vantages to be realized to the public by
these changes, in addition to the i'm
proved equipment and SERVICE will be
one fare for one continuous trip any,
where within the city limits. The total
track mileage within the city limits
owned by the two companies is 723, Of
which the Chicago Union Traction COM
pany claims over two-thirds, or SOB
miles.

Mr.. Cannon was very emphatic in de.
claring that under no circumstances
would he resign any of his rights to the

assertion still stronger by using some
OF his characteristic expressions.

lined by the member is the one always

The ease with which Uncle Joe" was
caught on this bet recalled an incident
that occurred not long ago in the senate.
Two distinguished members of that
body were talking about early religious
influences, and one OF them asserted that
he repeated every day the Lord s prayer,
