STUDY OF WHISPERS
IN THE us. SENATE
Very Few of the Flowing OF
Billy Goat" Kind Now
Adorn Faces of Senators.

Whiskers of the big, bushy sort
seem to have disappeared entirely
from the Senate of the United
States. In these latter days the
people are sending to the upper
branch of Congress men who are
either Clearly shaven or else who
wear only mustaches. Two new
members of the "smooth.faced bri-
gade" as the saying goes, have
recently been elected to the Sen
ate, and will he members of that
body afteh the 4th of March next.
They are William Alden Smith, of
Michigan, and Norris Brown, of Ne
braska. is also Clearly shaven. The
most luxuriant crop of whiskers that
have appeared in the Senate in
modern times were worn by Mr..
PETER, of Kansas. who got into the
upper branch of Congress when the
tidal wave swept over the country
that gave the Populists quite rep
resentatlon in both the Senate and
House. Washington. on account Of
its wide streets and avenues, is a
favorite place for the wind ito play
its FRANKS, and If it did not happily
blow through the long whiskers of
Mr., PETER, then people in this part
of the country have lost their
memory.
At present there is but one real
sample in the Senate of what is
known as the "billy-goat" whiskers.
Senator Garter, of Montana, Is the
happy possessor of that brand. It
should be borne iii mind that
"blly-goat" style is the sort that
has no hair growing on the upper
lip, which is clearly shaven. Major
mcdowell clerk of the House. has
the same kind of whskers. iWhis:;-
ers on the ''billy-goat" order simply
are grown below the chin. They
do not run up the side of the face
like those sported by Senator Gull
ON and Speaker Cannon, neither of
whom has mustache to interfere
with his enjoyment OF hot plate OF
soup, and each of whom has been
told repeatedly that he looks more
like the late President Lincoln
than any other leading man sent

THE LAKE SKIPPER.

How He Taught snIt Water Vet
ernn to Hustle.
There was salt water captain who,
for reasons OF his own, accepted u
berth as first mate In n big passenger
steamer on the great lakes. He was n
npable scafarlng man, but lie did not
inow what hustle meant until lie
vent aboard at Buffalo. The lake skip
per TO whom lie reported for duty re-
marked in the most casual manner:
Just give her Il cont of paint this
morning. and. II the sun stays hot and
she dries in good shape, give her sec
ond coat this afternoon"
The salt water mate staggered In his
tracks and made amazed protest This
was 5000 ton vessel, and giving her
two coats Of paint was several days
work by his reckoning. The lake skip
per was a person OF dlscernment,
wherefore he had pity on his new mate
and forbore to deal harshly with him,
explaining with tolerant grin:
"All right I suppose you'll have to
learn to move lively after snoozing
around &salt water all your life. You
just pass that order along to the bos'n
and tell him It's got to be done, and
then you sit up and take notice."
The bos'n took the order calmly. as IL
it were In the days work, and by night
fall the big steamer was spick and
span with two coats of paint from her
water line to her guard rail- The sailor
from deep water had learned his first
lesson in the ways of the great lakes
during the navigation season, when the
lard driven shipping must be forced to
do twelve months work in half year.

ROYAL MESSENGERS.
They Curry other Things Bcsidea
Government Dispatches.


Government Dispatches.
Very odd are some of the errauds
done by the royal messenger service In
Great Britain. At an English seaport,
for Instance, sealed packet which
was being conveyed across the channel
10 Windsor In care. of the British for
egn office became accidentally unfas-
tened in the custom house, and a guam
tlty of cigars tumbled out. AS the
packet In question was involced as
|containing important confidential gov
eminent dispatches" no little amuse-
mcnt was caused. Nothing serious,
however, came of the incident. for 1t is
n recognized rule that "the king can
do no wrong" and neither, therefore,
can the kings messengers.
Besides, 1t is well understood that
the service Is maintained for other
purposes than the nominal one. Dur
ing the late Queen Victorias reign
these messengers used frequently to
carry TO the continent in sealed bags
supposed to contain dispatches shirts
and collars of special make and pat
tern for one Of the British ambassa-
doris, hats and bonnets for her ajes-
tvs female relatives, all sorts of Eng
fish knickknacks for the late Empress
Frederick Mt Berlin and even barrels
of native oysters for the embassies at
Paris and Vienna.
For many years, moreover, 1t was the
practice of the messengers to call each
week on their way bncli to England
Mt Brussels. where they received from
the court kitchens n box OF special
biscuits Of which Queen Victoria was
very fond and which she believed no.
body could make as well us the head
pastry cook of King Leopold's kitchen.
This box of biscuits was solemnly seal
ed up ut the British legation with the
official seal and then conveyed with

to Congress from the great State of
Illinois. If the venerable Senator
Pettus, of Alabama, were to dispense
with his mustache he would have a
more envious set of "billy-goat"
whiskers than Senator Carter.
Senators Hale. of Maine, and Proc
tor, CT Vermont. have boards, but
they are cropped and not of the
flowing variety. Mr.. Scott. of West
Virginia. is in the same class. And
so is mfr. Teller of Colorado. But
the great majoritl of the Senators
either have clearly shaven faces
or mustaches. In the former group
may be mentioned: Daniel and
Martin, of Virginia; Tilman and
Latino, OF South Carolina; Culber-
son and Bailey, of Texas; Clay OF
Georgia; Clarke. of Arkansas; Nc
Creary. of Kentucky; Beveridge, of
Indiana; Hepburn, of Idaho; Spoon
er, of Wisconsin; Knox, of Pennsyl-
vania: Stone. of Missouri; La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin; Elkins. of West
Virginia, and Wetmore, of Rhode
Island.
Among the many who oonly have
mustaches are: Frye, of Maine;
Gallinger Of New Hampshire; Rayner
and Whyte, of Ohio; Warner, of
Missouri; Dolliver. of Iowa; Aldrich,
of Rhode Island; Clark and Warren
OF Wyoming; Morgan, or Alabama;
'Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Patterson,
of Colorado.
Some of the other Senators who
still stick to the moderate boards
or side whiskers are the follow
ing: Plat and Dephew. of New
Yorw; Perkins, of California; ALI
son, of Iowa; Berry, of Arkansas,
and Clark, of Montana.
Comparatively few of the Senators
now use snuff, though there are
still snuff boxes of fine order in
the chamber. In olden times these
snuff boxes were placed there, and
IT. was a common habit for the great
majority of Senators Go or 70 years
ago to take frequent pinches. Web
ster. Clay and Calhoun, and Cass
and Benton, too are said to, have
frequently patroniZed the boxes o.
snuff. Now it is rare thing FOR
Senator to do. SO, as snuff seems
to have gone out of fashion here.
Every new now and then, how
ever, a Senator will take a pinch
to relieve himself partially of a
bad cold.
