CAPITOL GOSSIP.
DeIavvare's Distinction.

To the proud little State Of Delaware,
one of the immortal thirteen. but still
with only one Representative in Con-
gTess, belongs the distinction Of afford
ing the editors OF the latest Congressional
Directory, just issued, and bound in red
the unusual pleasure Of devoting nearly
q page to a single autobiography. It is
that of the Hon Henry AlgernOn Du-
poat, who donned the toga yesterday. al
though he was elected last June. At that
time the new Senator was in Europe, and
he did not care TO cut short his trip for
the privilege of serving only few weeks
In the Senate before adjournment of the
session. Only one other autobiography
compares with Senator Duponts In point
OF space consumed, and that is Sena-
tor DepeW's. The Delaware statesman
devotes the bulk Of the history OF himself
{" modest, matter Of-fact recital OF his
war record. He relates the details Of his
military service from his graduation at
West Point, in 1861, TO his retirement from
the army In 1915 A little less than four
lines are devoted to his political achieve
ments, and in this he laconically relates
that he received twenty-eight votes TO
one for John Edward Addicks.

A Remarkable Offer ~
he Graphic Proposes to Give Away, Absolutely Free of Cost, S4oo.oo Piano and Sl SO % in Due bi,Is to Apply the Purchase Price Of Two Others Making Grand Total of S55o % in Prizes to the Three Host Popular Ladies.

The Graphic today submits To it's many readers the most generous offer any newspaper in the smaller cities of the great southwest. Despite the limited field in which the local papers ot Pine Bluff are permitted to clrcu- late and operate, We have perfected plans whereby it is proposed 10 give away absolutely free of cost to tn" public the muniticent value of $33o. which will take the form of due bills tc apply on the purchase Of three tlrst-class pianos hich, iWW l25i IS9o Erst class pianos. which will be donaf- ed, free. to the most popular lady, married or single, chosen by a popular vo1e on the part of the public. The proposition is both interesting and profitable. Read it.
 First. we will give away, absolute h free of cost, a $4o0 kimbali piano, style r.. sold by the well known flo!- lCnber2 Music company of thls city and Little Rock to the lady receiving the largest number of votes,
 Second, we will give due bill for S1o0 to apply on the purchase price of a similar instrument sold by the same company, to the lady receiving the next largest number of votes.
 Third, we will give q due bill for $50 on the purchase price of another piano from the same company, to the lady receiving the third largest num- Eer of votes in the contest
 Think of it d moment. This sum represents the average yearly salary of the working women of this section of the country It represents sum equalling the salary of the average working man for the same length of time that the contest will run--four months. It is an extraordinary offer, and one that will doubtless arouse the greatest enthusiasm on the part of the public generally. Every lady wants piano. The Graphic proposes to give away three of them, of which anyone may we'll feel proud. It is d paying proposition to the winner, q fully worth the while of anyone whe wishes to joi in the contest

Washington, June 5.-The sena'e adjourned ,,eterday immediately Cn ceivins the announcement of Sen ator German ues.sh No business whatever was transacted. There was an unusual number of senators pres cnt and all were manifestly impress t,d by the solemnity of the occasion.

The end which awaits us all found him this morning at his home ill this city. surrounded by his stricken fam. ily. He passed from the strife and bitterness of this world to the peace and rest of better one.
 'T would ask the senate to honor his long and faithful service as a member of tins body by holding a public funeral in this chamber except for the fact that he has himself left instructions that his burial shall aa a simple one In obedience to his wishes l forbear to make that request and ask the adoption of the resolu- tons which l send to the desk.
 "At some later day his colleagues who learned of Senator German 5 death when it was too late for him to reach the chamber for this morn ing's session will ask us to set apart a day on which the senate will pay a fitting tribute to the memory and services of our deceased associate.
