In Sunless Dungeons.

A victim of Russian severity who
was at one time immured in the grim
fortress OF Peter and Paul, in st. Pc
tersburg, describes it as resembling a
house of the dead.
''Its dungeons, utterly sunless, are
abodes of gloom and silence. Not a
word is spoken among the hapless pris-
Oners, intercourse being carried on
mainly by gestures. Prisoners COM
municate with each other by knocking
on the walls of their cells, so many
times for each letter. But even this
is sternly repressed by the authorities,
and captives detected in the practice
are. liable to severe punishment.
I'm short, the prison reproduces all
the horrors of the dungeons of ro-
nance, with mildewed walls, cold ST.
lence and despair. The fortress, in
deed, is never spoken OF in Russia
without shudder, for imprisonment
there Is little better than being buried
alive"

gatta season at Cowes, it meant one
more distinguished American woman
TO be admitted to the Kings circle.
Mrs. Potter Palmer never does
things by halves, and this was never
more thoroughly demonstrated than
when she arranged the marriage be-
tween her niece. Miss Julia Dent
Grant, and the Russian Prince Can
tacuzene. 1t was one Of the most bril-
liant matrimonial achievements the
social world has ever known, and, I'M
like so many similar affairs, the union
has turned out to be a supremacy
happy one.
When Mrs. Potter Palmer deter
mined to join the social colony at
Cowes last year she leased the his
toric Egypt House in England's IA
nous beauty spot, the Isle of Wight.
Everybody who is anybody in English
society goes down for the regatta sea-
son, for the King is sure to be there,
and society focks at the royal heels.
This recalls that the interior of
Egypt House is a splendid example Of
the simple luxury which prevails in so
many old English houses. Several
years ago it was leased by Consuelo,
Dowager Duchess of Manchester. The
Duchess is one of the Oldest friends of
King Edward, and during the season
that she was mistress Of Egypt House
she was the Kings hostess on more
than one occasion.
The Duchess had the old place done
over in anticipation of the Kings COM
ing and all the floors were highly pol
ished and covered with expensive rugs.
His Majesty was escorting the Ouch
ess into dinner one evening when he
slipped on the polished floor and mar
rowly escaped getting bad fall. For
the instant the King was angry and
reminded the Duchess that he detested
polished floors and would never again
enter house where they prevailed.
Merchants of London received or
aers the following day to take meas.
urements of all the floors In Egypt
House, and when the King again WIS.,
tied the Duchess there he found every
room and corridor carpeted in fine
Persian effects. The King laughed
and partly apologized for his bad tenn
per on the previous occasion by say
ing You are very good, Duchess. You
see, l am not as young as l used to
be" Since that time polished floors
have been tabooed by the English
smart set.

Mrs. Potter Palmer social censor

Hot Contest With Bryan.
William Jennings Bryan was the uni
versally accepted candidate agains
Burkett, supported by the Democrats
Populists and Free-Silver Republicans
The fight was thus narrowed down to
one between Mr.. Burkett and Mr.
Bryan for control of the legislature.
Which one would be senator was de
pendent upon the political complexion
Of that body. The campaign, extend
ing over period Of about five months
was exceedingly virile, and there was
plenty Of uncertainty to make it inter.
esting, and at times almost bitter.
Mr.. Burkett like his distinguished
opponent, is of even temperament
slow to anger and plenteous in thai
brand of good nature that never wears
off; and so whatever may have dis
turbed others, it can be said that moth
ing harsh or bitter ever passed be-
tween them personally.
Roosevelt's great popularity made
the state surely Republican, so far as
the electoral ticket was concerned, but
Mr. Bryan's popularity and his force
as q campaigner made the outcome as
to the complexion of the legislature
one OF doubt and uncertainty. Then,
too there were local conditions that
were not advantageous to the Republi-
cans.
These were the conditions confront
ing Mr.. Burkett when the campaign
Of 1904 opened. Mr.. Bryan, brilliant,
shrewd and resourceful as he Is, took
advantage of every mistake of the Re-
publicans, and he went into the cam
paign determined to elect Demo
cratic legislature. He strove nightly;
he held meetings in almost every dis
trict; he completely covered the state
with special train, and made from
five to eight rear-platform speeches q
day, arousing as he always does, great
enthusiasm. But Mr.. Burkett was also
over the state. He made as many
speeches as did his opponent, and he is
a convincer, and he visited every por-
ton Of the Commonwealth.
Genius for Organization.
Probably one Of Burketts chief at
tributes in his genius for organization.
AS n result of the marshaling OF his
forces, legislature was elected with
every one of the thirty-three members
in the Senate a Republican and only
nine Fuslonists out of one hundred
members of the House. The legis-
lature met and I'm Just six minutes

Country Was Once Inhabited by an
Ancient People-Only Ruins Left to
Indicate a Teeming and Prosperous
Population.
Swinging gently in ones hammock
beneath wide spreading fig trees load
ed with luscious fruit, and breathing
into the nostrils the fragrance of a
field of Peruvian clover mingling with
the almost tropical bloom about me, it
is indeed hard to believe that this very
spot, only a few years ago, boosted
naught save the horned toad, the
ella monster and the rattlesnake. A
suspicion of scent of desert sage
waited on summer mornings zephyr
awakes in one a realization that, just
beyond this fair oasis, gaunt desola-
ton, weird and mysterious, stalks
| wide under relentless skies of brass.
All these thoughts and others are

your eyes on the green verdure which

Phoenix, beautiful in garb Of
tropical luxuriance, with wide aven-
ues shaded by magnificent palms or
shapely umbrella trees, with pleasant
homes almost hidden by vines and
flowers, bids you welcome.
Many of her pioneers and her best
citizens came here to fight last bat
tie with that dreaded scourge, the
White ue-tuberculosis- and the
welcome they received from the des-
ert brought the bloom of health to
their checks and new hope to their
hearts, and is reflected in the welcome
which greets the stranger at their
gates to-day.

FITZHUGH LEES VIE VS..
Once Told General Howard Southern
Defeat Would Work for Good.

In March, 1896, had the pleasure,
recently remarked an official of the In
dian Department, of travelling in com
pany with the Indian party" from
Washington City On it's way to Car
Isle, Pa, to attend the annual com
mencement exercises of the Indian
school there.
With the party, when included
some members of both houses Of Con-
gress and a few officials of the Indian
service, were the fearless, forcible
Fftzhugh Lee, and that knightly
Christian soldier, Major-General 0. o.
Howard.
Naturally the two old veterans,
serving on opposite sides Of our coun-
try's most desperate war, found much
in common to talk over and discuss;
and were together during the entire
trip.
had the good luck to be included
in their conversation from time to
time, and heard much that was in
structive and entertaining.
From present events their converse
ton drifted back to the heroic days of
the civil war, and they fought over
again many of it's battles. Then they
recalled old days at West Point, when
Howard was an instructor and had

Howard, 1.-The time at the Point that

Again their conversation was about
the war, and it's decisive battles, and
to the wonderful changes since those
tragic days of '61-5.
They had discussed the industrial
conditions of the country, and General
Lee seemed unusually well informed
as to the needs and opportunities of
the South.

THE YOUNGEST SENATOR.
Burkett, of Nebraska, Who Defeated
Vim. j. Bryan for the Toga.

From the farm furrow to the Sen.
ate is the somewhat remarkable
record Of the youngest member Of that
body, Elmer Burkett, of Nebraska.
To be elected a Senator is considered
a distinction worthy the ambition of
any American youth; to be the "baby''
member Of the greatest of legislative
bodies is higher distinction, and es-
pecially as in the case of Mr. Burkett,
where the race was hot one, and his
opponent an able and renowned an
tagonist, no other man than William
]. Bryan.
Out in Nebraska, says Edgar O.
Snyder, of the Omaha Bee, who is ia
miliar with state politics, there has
been in the past a number of long
drawn out senatorial deadlocks. The
people were not only dissatisfied with
conditions, but they were determined
to stop it. They concluded to direct
the action Of the legislature.
Nomination by the People.
The newspapers took up the matter
Of a popular nomination very ener-
getically, and the plan was suggested
of having a state convention nominate
a candidate for United States Senator,
and instruct their legislative nominees
to vote for him when the legislature
met. OF course, there was opposition
to the plan in certain quarters, for it
materially interfered with the desires
Of the "bosses" who had controlled
Nebraska politics for many years, and
Burkett was not exactly to their liking.
The opposition, however, did not de-
velop any great amount Of strength,
and Mr.. Burkett was unanimously de-
clared the choice of the Republicans Of
the state for Senator, to succeed Sena-

Where Age BroughtWeaIfh.

A proud father in a western town,
who has a number of daughters of a
marriageable age, in speaking of the
qualities OF the girls, said to an &C
quaintance that while he loved each
Of them very much, he would like to
see them comfortably married. 81 have
a little money" he said, land they
will not go pennilcss to their hus-
bands"
There is Mary, twenty-five years
old, / shall give her 81 900 when she
marries. Then comes Bet, she is more
than thirty-five, and she will get SO, 900.
while the man who takes Eliza, who is
more than forty, will receive $4,000
with her."
The acquaintance after some few mo-
ments OF serious thought, wanted to
know IL he had any daughters fifty or
sixty years old.
