The Senator's Home.

Senator Morgan lived in an old.
fashioned house in John Marshall
place in Washington. The name OF
that street gives an index to Mr.. Nor.
gan's character, writes a Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. 1t used to be -Four and a Half
street, which name, Mr.. Morgan con
tended and reasonably, was too long,
too clumsy and absurd. He picked
out John Marshall the expounder OF
the constitution, as fit person to be
honored by having street named at.
ter him, and he selected his own street
as the proper street to carry the name.
Patiently. year after year, he work
ed with the district commissioner to
have the name Of the street changed.
Continued rebuffs did not bother him,
Finally the commissioner changed the
name of the block in which Senator
Morgan's house stood to John Marsh

passed an to something else. 1t had
taken him some years to win, but he
had won.

Lille Stories Conce
The Late Sendlo,

lSix years ago, just as the Fifty-sev-
a Congress was passing into his
Alabamas veteran statesman,
tie late Senator John Tyler Morgan,
made the long distance speaking rec
ord, forced an extraordinary session
Of the Senate and killed the asset cur
rency bill of Senator Aldrich, who in
these last hours of Congress shared
the leadership with Senator Hale. says
the New York Tribune. 1t was the
last night except one of a rather event.
full session. Senator Morgan had been
! speaking almost every day for two
weeks on the question Of an isthmian
canal. 1t was estimated at the time
by close observers and the Senate
stenographers that altogether he had
spoken more than 100000 words in
this one. topic Hour after hour he
held the floor, and when he had docu-
ments to be read he read them himself
instead of sending them to the clerk.
1t was thought that he would never
stop on the canal and that he could
not possibly have anything to say on
any other measure, especially one SO
intricate as the Aldrich financial bill.
On another occasion Senator Gull
lom, as chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee. was anxious to get
a vote on certain amendments to a
treaty and insisted on night session.
Mr.. Morgan had the floor and yielded
for recess. He resumed at the night
session and spoke ON for two or three
hours, Mr. Cullom meanwhile keeping
his seat because he felt responsible
for forcing the Senate to return at
Eight. Shortly after midnight Mr.. Nor
kan glanced across the aisle and saw
Mr.. Cullom asleep in his seat Sena-
tor Morgan paused for some time, and
finally silence itself woke Mr.. Gull
lom. The whole Senate broke into
laughter, in which Mr.. Morgan partici-
pated. He then proceeded with his
speech until Mr.. Cullom was forced to
move an adjournment.
This wonderful endurance of the
Alabama Senator is all the more re-
markable when it is considered that
he was feeble in early life and his dis
abilities were great trial to him
during his army career.

A Great Orator.

senator Morgan, who was one OF the
great orators of the Upper House,
spent only three years in school, and
those in his early childhood, says a
correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis
patch From 6 to 8 years of age
embraced his entire academic train
ing, and the most that he learned in
that brief schooling was Latin. In
that one branch he was thoroughly
grounded, thanks also to private in
struction, and to it he attributed his
remarkably ready command of the
English tongue in long drawn out
debates.
On every public question he dis
Icussed-and they were numerous
John 7. Morgan was perhaps the best
informed man in Congress. While
other Legislative obstructionists could
talk and talk to consume time, all the
while saying nothing, Morgan s
speeches, without book or a scrap
of paper to jog his memory, were
packed full of information, his facts
marshaled with consummate skill.
When the question of Hawaiian an
nexation was suddenly sprung upon
the country toward the close of Ben
jamin Harrison's administration, Nor
gan knew more abut the islands than

When Morgan was In Paris as a
member of the Behring sea commits
sion, Lord Hammer, impressed by the
Alabamian's marvellous grasp of pub
lie questions, asked him of what uni
yersity he was graduate.
Il never saw the inside of uni
lyersity," was the reply.
II beg your pardon rejoined his
llordship." "Of course not all of your
institutions of learning are called uni.
versities. But what college did you
lattend-what was your alma mater?'
Imagine Lord Hannens amazement
when informed that three short years
in a primary school was the nearest
Morgan ever had to a college training.
Neither was Morgan a bookworm

Arrested for Horrible Crime.

1t is not generally known perhaps
that Senator Morgan was once threat
kned with arrest for alleged completely
IN the assination of Lincoln, says
the Washington Post.
OF course Senator Morgan was not
only innocent, but actually did not
hear of Lincolns death until a week
after it had occurred He was then a
farmer in Dallas County, his practice
of law having been prohibited by the
Federal authorities, and he was plow-
ing corn when he heard that an order
had been received by General Near
thur, at Selma, to arrest him and send
him to Washington for completely in
the Lincoln assination. Senator
Morgan went into his house, attired
himself in his Confederate generals
uniform, with starred epaulets, belt
sword and other accountrements COM

Rand rode to Selma, where he presented
himself to General Macarthur

Macarthur, recognizing Morgan's rank.
For what am indebted for this
visit?''

General Macarthur expressed sur
prise to learn that the existence Of the
order was known and smiled when
General Morgan told him that ex-
Confederates had not lost their habit
of acquiring Information. Then he re-
marked that the order would not be
3 obeyed-or at least not until there
had been reasonable delay This
did not suit Morgan, who wanted to
go to Washington to present some
claims for destroyed cotton and was
quite willing to travel at government
expense:

Convinced Of His Innocence.

They tell to this day in Alabama
this story to illustrate Mr.. MorgaRs
ability as advocate. says the New York
Herald:
A negro of well known thieving pro-
.,cliyities was on trial for stealing a
Asle. Mr.. Morgan defended and
cleared him. AS lawyer and client
were walking out of the courtroom
Mr.. Morgan said:
"Rastus, did you steal that mule?'
Well, Marse Morgan, it was jest
like this: really thought | did steal
dat mule, but after what you said to
de jury was convince didn't"
