Oldest Member OF Senate in Point Of

LOO o. ResuIar eorresponhen,.

From oar Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. C., June 49,
Oldest member Of the senate in point
OF service and oldest but one in
years. Senator joint r. Morgan died
a. ms home in this city last week.
Senator MorgAn was SO years old,
audi was one of the most remarkable
fig Ires IN the senate on either side.
His record IN public life was a re.
markable one. He was an ardent
southerner and was a delegate to the
secession congress in 1901. At the
outbreak of the war he entered the
confederate service as a colonel and
IN 1868 was made brgadier gen
eral. He was chosen a presidential
elector in 1876 and entered the SEN
ate the next year. He occupied a
commanding position in that body
almost from his first entrance and
was regarded as one of the best law
} ers and most thoroughly informed
men on national and international
topics during his whole term of serv-
ice. He made a special study of
the isthmian canal problem and was
early an ardent advocate OF the
Nicaraguan route. If il had rested
with him the canal would have been
commenced by the Nicarsguan route
years ago and probably would be
finished by this time. Up to the
close of the last congress he was a
tireless worker and a fearless de-
batter, and one Of the features of his
last session was his relentless pur.
suit of William Nelson Cromwell as
witness before the canal commit
tee.
Senator Morgan will in all proba.
bility be succeeded in the senate by
ex Representative Bankhead, who
was beaten after hard fight in the
last election for the house by young
Richard Pearson Hobson, now the
junior member of the Alabama del
egatiOn.

Deaths from x-Rays.

The death of DR.. Weigel, a surgeon
of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant of
Thomas Edison, Boston physician
and woman of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and a finger
of the left hand were removed, there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
part of the right shoulder; then a
part Of the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause of death, the disease being I'M
known to medical science, though it
is believed to involve some great prin-
ciple of life. DR.. Weigel was presi-
dent of the Rochester Academy of
Medicine and the American Ortho-
paedic society.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That.

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has a tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwaist man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found in
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted Of
going without hats. This is the way
he told 1t to an interested company:
you see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their shirts and trousers, and the
women are just like them"

PUT 1T IN GOOD LIGHT.
One Comforting Thought in the Death
of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved to
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood of chickens. Going out one af-
ternoon she left the household in
charge of her eight-year-old boy. Be-
fore her return a thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed to find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make a clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave 1t to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said, contritely, when
his mother had returned, mamma, six
of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. six!
How did they die?"
The boy saw his chance.

he said.-Harper's Weekly.
