Who Were Inc Irans5ressors7
There was a ripple Of laughter
around the Capitol when the annual
report Of Major Richard Sylvester,
Washington's chief of police, was
read. Major Sylvester is required by
law to report to Congress annually
showing how efficient his force Is.
Among other things he has to make
up a set Of statistics giving the num-
Der Of arrests, with the race, complex
ion, occupation and offense Of each
individual arrested.
In the report are many columns de-
voted to tabulated petty crimes, in
volving the arrest of gamblers, touts,
tramps, burglars, ~pickpockets, saloon
keepers. fakirs, bunko men, and all
that sort of shady humanity.
Two lines in the list, however. at.
tracted the most attention. These
stated there had been an arrest "of
one Senator" and 1.-TWO Representa-
tives in Congress-"
Everybody in the Senate and the
House wants to know who the Sena-
tor and Representatives are.

HE FOUND A COOL PLACE.
Diligsnt Search Revealed the Ideal
Place for Ripening OF Green
Bananas, e

The man of the house brought home
the other evening five dozen bananas
which he had seen going cheap as he
passed by the hucksters or sthe street.
They were a bit green, to 6e sure, but
the huckster told him If he would put
them In a cool, dark place they would
ripen in time and taste exactly as If
they had that momen come from ia.
maica, relates the Baltimore News.
When the man reached home he
looked for The cool, dark place. At first
he thought he would put the fruit on
top OF the bookcase in a dark corner
of the library, and then he felt sure
that his wife's eagle eye would de-
tect a bit OF the green protruding over
the edge, and would have it out of
there %instanter.
A bandbox on the table attracted his
attention. 1t contained his wife's best
hat, just home from the milliner's, and
without further ado, he took the be-
feathered concoction from it's nest and
placed it on marble figure standing
near and dumped the bananas into the

better half was sensitive about nothing
so much as her head wear, and so he
took out the fruit, replaced the hat and
went into the kitchen to ask the advice
of Bridget. /.
Bridget was not on hand. She hau'
stepped out a moment to the back gate
to talk to the vegetable man, who was
fascinating, even though married, but
the mans eye caught the gas stove, and
he felt that at last he had found the
proper place for the ripening process.
There was fire in the range, therefore
the gas stove must be out of commits
sion, and so he opened the oven door
and popped in the bananas and went
back into the library for a smoke.
1t was TWO hours later, and his wife
was still trying IN her new hat and
making her husband stop reading every
five minutes to tell her whether he ON
sldereG it more becoming than her green
one, and if he didn't think it a little
just a little-too wide on the left side,
when. in the midst of this pleasing oc-
cupation, the lady stopped short, sud-
denly, and shifted suspiciuusly.
III weren't quite sure that we never
had a cooked banana in this house, I
should sa! that Bridge ct was baking some
at this moment" said she.
Her husband looked up with more ami
nation than he had displayed in the
matter of the hat.
"You don't use the gas stove now. do
you?" he asked interestedly. Il.
Certainly we do-for some things"
she replied. Are you sure you don't
think the plumes would look better
broght farther to ward the front?"
But she was speaking to empty air,
for her better half had vanished k1tch-
onward. When he came back his ex-
preston was downcast.
Bridget is baking some bananas for
you fer a little surprise" said he. "She
says they are very good with sugar and
cinnamon"
AnG that is all of the story, except
that int family had bananas for break

thereafter, u2til PriGget got tired of the

AN ORDER THAT SHOCKED.

The waiter had shown me to atable, and

me, relates a writer in the Kansas
City Star. The car was swaying and
humping over a new piece OF track, and
the old lady seemed perturbeu by the
jarring and the noise. Her hair was
nearly white, and 1t was waved over
the temples. A little bonnet was held
In place by broad silk ribbons, tied very
carefully In a very regular bow under
her right ear. A turn-down collar OF
white and a long, thin chain holding. a
pair OF glasses were the only relief from
the black silk frock. There she sat, the

beer, and the waiter spilled much of
1t Oh me and the table as the train swung
around a sharp curve. The old lady
noticed the m1shap, but her face bore
not a trace Of slightest interest. With
her in hearing distance l would not have
risked laughing at anything. In the
cold, business-like voice of the class

dry toast, and a pot of hot tea 1T

she called, as he turned away, before

That is what she said. The car made
a particularly wild lurch just then, which
helped me to hide my surprise. That
was all that saved me. {,

FINDS AMERICAN TRUFFLEs
Epicursan Discovery Made Through
the Capture Of a Squirrels
Breakfast,

Minneapolis.-Because a squirrel
was late with his breakfast Henry
Orleman OF this city, made a discov-
cry which will epicures all over
the country to sit up and take notice.
1t has been supposed since the Amer
lean taste became educated up to
mushrooms that the trufle, which caps
the climax of the edible fungi, did not
grow In this country.
Orleman Is a professional mushroom
picker and before the days of keen
competition used to make as high as
SIG and $18 a day. For years he has
ranged the fields and woods about
Minneapolis picking up many hun
dreds of other mushrooms, but never
running across the long-sought trufle
until a few mornings ago. Then he
saw a squirrel running up an oak tree
carrying in It's mouth what he first
thought was an acorn. Noticing that
the acorn appeared unusually large,
however, he threw stones at the squir-
rel, which dropped his breakfast.
Orleman picked up the falling meal,
sliced it and was delighted to find in
side the firm black granules which in
dicate the true trufae. He searched
among the rotting leaves under the oak
and was rewarded by finding IL fair
sized trufles. At the best restaurant
here the proprietor's eyes opened wide
when he saw for the first time native
American trufle. His chef said they
were the first he had seen grown out
side of France.
The IL truf1es were worth so cents
each. In France the fungi bring from
So to $12 a pound, according to quail
ity. They grow only beneath oak trees
and are generally concealed by loose
leaf mold on the surface. so that they
are hunted with trained pigs or dogs.
Orleman intends to train some animals
to help him in his search in the vicin-
,ty OF the original find.

vaaaries OF Weather on Ocean.

1t will take an expert to account for
some of the vagaries of the weather
conditions on the ocean. Certain
spots are Stunned because of their
known wickedness, from an unknown
cause, and certain routes, like the
northern lanes of the Atlantic, with
its blows and bergs, and the great cir

cussedness, the reliability that may
be placed on blows, that used to en-

BRAVES DEATH To
RELEASE VALVES.

First Assistant Engineer Frank Lit
tlefeld was the hero of the army trans
port Sheridan disaster. according to the
Sheridan's passengers, who arrived
yesterday on the transport Sherman.
Shortly after the Sheridan struck on
the Oahu reef her main steam pipe
burst, and for little while something
very like a panic took possession of
the troopers passengers.
The explosion, I'M the very vitals of
the vessel shook the transport from
end to end Then from the dark depths
below decks there poured up clouds of
steam. In a few seconds the big
steamship was enveloped in mist, and
just at that time a number of flare
lights were touched off as signals of
on the shroud of steam gave the i'm
preston of a fearful confiagration. and
the rumor of ship on fire" threw the
overwrought passengers into momen-
tary disorder.
The coolness of Captain Peabody and
his officers soon had It's effect, how
ever, and everybody on board accepted
their assurances that there was no
danger, and settled down to watch
events.
Just exactly what First Assistant
Engineer Littlefield did the passengers,
not being engineers, were unable to
explain. They know, however, that he
volunteered to do it and that he made
good job of it. They know that he
slid down into the lower regions,
crawled through steam filled alleyways
and then climbed to the top of the
boilers, where he worked for an hour,
releasing valves" they were told.
The heat was so great that in that
hour Littlef1eld lost nearly fifteen
pounds in weight and was in state
of collapse when he finally made his
way on deck OF Chief Engineer Kidd
and Chief officer Ansell and particu-
larly of Captain Peabody, the passen-
gers all speak in grateful terms, but
the man who volunteered to take
Russian bath will be remembered by
them as the particular hero.

Contractors have reported to the de-
