who throng the halls about the capitol,
but they are all of a mild type, as the
police watch carefully that no one of
a dangerous character gets inside the
big building.
There is one human prodigy who
has been about the capitol for several
congresses who is known to the guides
and employees as 'the Elixir OF Life
Man" He is a venerable specimen,
and carries about with him bottles OF
q qu%eer-looking, reddish mixture
which he claims, if properly used, will
prolong life. He also asserts that this
same preparation will cause bursts
of oratory and return of youth and will
produce a winning personality This
old fellow became so persistent In an
moving senators last congress that he
was put out of the capitol. He is back
again this year, however, and SO long
as he does not annoy anyone ne Will
not be interfered with.
Some of the eccentric characters met
with in the corridors are women. One
of these is a national character, and
has been looking after a bill in her
W interest for several years.. This Is
DR.. Mary Walker, who has achieved
national notoriety by her perslstency
in dressing in male garments. she

the opening day OF congress-. he
hailed from New Jersey and had been
a regular visitor at the capitol since
soon after the civil war, in which he
served as a sailor.
The old guides about the capitol
gave this queer character the sobriquet
of 1.-The little statue man" because of
his habit Of f%requenting Statuary hall
and talking loud and earnestly to the
bronze and marble statues there. He
was small in stature himself, but as
full Of energy as a live electric wire.
His favorite statue was that of Rob-
ert Fulton, the inventor Of the steam
boat, who is represented as holding in
his hand a model of his first steamboat,
on which his gaze has been intently
fixed. The little statue man" would
approach the stone Fulton reverently.
hat in hand, and begin talking to the
statue like this:
"Ah, good morning, Robert. Still
busy perfecting your little steamer, l
see. But, Robert, you had better hurry
your scheme along, or l will beat you,
TOT L ain luluhluS dUuuI luFcutluS a
ship that will both fly through the air
or skim over the waters"
This little Jerseyman was also very
fond of the plaster statue of Gen.
Washington, which stands in Statuary
hall. and which he always Familiarity
addressed as George" He believed
that this statue still breathes the spirit
of '76, or, as the little man expressed
it. George Washington, in plaster,
has beer reincarnated with the pa
triotism of the late George Washing
tor in the flesh and stands in this hall
as a living inspiration to the Ameri-
can people"
Another peculiar character who is
missing was a tall %strapping individ-
ual known as 'the Irish Mexican"
His real name was Murphy, but he had
given it a Mexican twist by comforting
It into "Murphreerero." He could talk
Spanish fiuently, but with an Irish ac-
cent. He had an imaginary claim
against Uncle Sam.

ENGLAND'S NEW PREMIER

The first step taken by Sir Henry CampDeli-
Bannerman has added very considerably 10 ms
reputation for sagacity, the new ministry is an ex-
centionally strong one. The liberals are immensely
pleased the conservatives concede the new premier
has formed a much stronger combination than had
been thought possible.
If, as we are told, the successful man is tine
man with ability to pick out able helpers then a
most brilliant official future lies before Campbell
B~annerman. A recent editorial thus sizes up the
new lib eral leader and cabinet: The premier
himself is a man of respectable ability, sagacity,
courage and persistence; his leading ministers are
brilliant and experienced politicians and strong
men, while the appointee s that are without cabinet
experience are distinguished either as students OF
political and social science or as active and enec-
tive parliamentarians and debaters."
