WHAT'S UP.

The two cent fare bill will have to
be watched. Some very alert and wiry
men at Charleston are opposed to It
and they are up to all the tricks Of
the trade of lobbyist That which
looks best for measure is not always
SO. These gay fellows recently got
the judiciary committee to do some
thing that looked fair on this subject,
but it Is likely it was intended for a
black eye by those who were wise.
The impression is out at any rate,
that the Legislature is not making that
haste since it got together, In the d.

STRIKING RESEMBLANCE
OF MEN In PUBLIC LIFE

G TRIKING facial resemblances oi
- men in public life and in official
circles in this city are frequently com.
mented upon. There are three men
widely known whose similarity of
face and form is so striking that
queer mistakes of identity are expe-
rienced every now and then. The re-
semblance of the president to his dis
tinguished secretary of the navy and
attorney general, Mr. Moody, has al
ways been the subject of remark and
now and then of humorous mistakes.
Now that Mr.. Moody has been ele-
waited. or at least transferred, to the
supreme court of the United States,
he has come across another double
in the person of James Maher, clerk of
the supreme court.
When Justice Moody first met Mr.
Maher it was as a member of the
house Of representatives, when the re-
semblance between the two was re-
marked. Again when as attorney gen
eral he had occasion to go to the
courtroom he occasionally saw his
double, and now as a justice on the

SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR
A DIAMOND In THE ROUGH

WASHINGTON.-The senate gal.
W leries are always filed when Sen.
ator Tillman is announced to speak.
No other senator since the days of the
acrid and dazzling ingalls, has been
able to draw such crowds as he.
Yet Senator Tillman isn't a great
orator. In the first place, his voice is
a bit shrill and unpleasant, until he
gets warned up to the shouting point,
and then it takes on a deeper and
more sonorous timbre.
Again, he speaks somewhat discon-
nectedly, sometimes losing the thread
OF his argument altogether. But, like
a creek or river diverted from it's path.
he always gets back to the main bed
OF his progress in time.
He sometimes makes his sentences
so long that he has to pull up short
and begin again. When he reads from
prepared manuscript-this is not
often-the monotony of his delivery
is tiresome.
When he is making speech from
data scattered about his desk he has
prOdigious difficulty in finding his ref
erences at critical junctures. He
gropes all over the Uttered desk and
the desks of his senatorial neighbors
on either hand for the missing piece of

Mr.. Maher's resemblance to the presi-
dent is striking when in repose. but
when he speaks or smiles he is obliged
to acknowledge that owing either to
the subduing atmosphere of the court
or to the lack of dental qualifications,
he cannot vie with the chief executive
at the other end of the avenue.
The resemblance of Senators Aldrich
and Foraker is also striking, although
the distinguished senator from Rhode
Island plays the role of reticent gen.
eral maneuvering his forces on the
floor of the senate, while the senator
from Ohio acts the more striking part

the desks and on the floor, becomes
red in the face and fiustered and mad
all through.
The neighboring senators make a
great show of helping him to find what
he is looking for, but they really don't
try very hard, for they are smiling all
the time and apparently enjoying the
spectacle of wrath which the South
Carolinian presents in these circum-
stances. A snicker runs around the
galleries at such times, and this does
not cause the senator from South
Carolina to feel himself any more at
ease over the lost reference.
But always he succeeds in finding
the lost bit of paper in time. He SIM
ply will not proceed until he does find
it, and he has searched for as long as
ten minutes, while senate and audi
ence waited Then he goes ahead
with his argument.
His gestures are those of man
wholly unframed in the art of oratory,
but somehow the flacking gestures
seem to belong to and to suit the flow
of words when the senator becomes
thoroughly wrought up. For all that

tor is still rough diamond.
