She was middle aged colored wom an of muscular build. and as she stopped at one of the gates in the Union depot the other morning the of icial took notice that she was greatly perturbed and breathing hard.
 Madam. you seem to be excited. he said, as she choked and gurgled and coughed.
 Yes. sah, I does. I dun run mos all de way from de house. and I fell down fo' times on de way. If I gifts sight of dat pusson he will also be af flicted wid overexcitement-heaps oi it."
 You have something under your shawl" he said, as his eyes detected a bulge to the garment.
 Yes, sah," she replied. as she re moved and held up to view an old axe handle. Dis am what will bring or dat overexcitement in case dat pusson shows up yere."

Pass Own Increase.

WASHINuID.,, a.... 1.-The sen ate by vote of B to 21 adopted the house amendment to the legislative ap proprlation bill increasing from s5,OO( to S7.50O the salaries of senators and representatives and from $S,OO0 to SIP, GOO the salaries of the vice president the speaker of the house and the mem. bers of the cabinet.
 Mir. Berry (Dem., Ark.) opposed the increases.
 T deny," he said. "that senators and representatives cannot live within the salary of $5,00O. They have done it."
 He referred to the allowance for clerk hire which members were former. ly compelled to pay and to the state. ment that senators or members could earn more in private life, saying:
 "I don't believe that one-half of the senators and representatives could or did earn $5,000 year in private life. One-half of the time of members only Is taken up by the sessions of congress, and the rest could be given to private enterprises. This time Is devoted to private enterprises at any rate"
 Mir. Nelson Rep.. Minn.) offered an amendment to strike out the salary in. creases for senators and representa-. tives and in advocating his amendment said that the United States paid sena. tors and representatives more than any other country in the world paid the members of It's legislative assemblies.
 we are not here merely to work for the government under contract for a given sum-" said he, "but we ac. cept the place as post of honor"
 Mir. Lodge (Iass.) advocated the in. creases. Great Britain, he said, would in his Judgment be driven soon to adopt the salary system for legislators, be. cause under the nonsalary system now prevailing only the rich could go to parliament, and the poorer or working classes were without a representation from their own number. He drew a picture of the condition of the late Senator Hoar.
 "I never knew man who cared so little for money" said Mir. Lodge. Senator Hoar died poor man. He gave his life absolutely to the public service"
 Mir. Mallory Dem., Fla.) moved to amend by making the increase take ef. feet in March. 1913.
 Mir. Tillman Dem.. s. O pronounc- cd Mir. Mallory's amendment absurd" !"
 He thought 1t would not matter 90 much what salaries senators obtained as far as what they did here was con- cerned.
 There Is a feeling abroad that the senate no longer represents the people, but the corporations" he added.
