SPEECHES BY THE CARLOAD
OVER 100000 POUNDS OF CAM
PAIGN ELoQUENCE.
Immense Amount Of Campaign Lit
erature Turned Out by the Gov
eminent Printing Office.

One of the important elements in the
recent presidential campaign has been
the amount of literature" distributed by
both political parties, and to this portion
of the work the government printing office
contributed 7.41S,70O copies Of speeches.
which exceeds by over 100000 copies
all previous records.
The printing of speeches in the govern.
ment printing Office for members OF the
Senate and House of Representatives has
been reduced to an exact science through
years of experience. The printing is paid
for by the member Of Congress drawing
the requisition, and at times the plates
used in the Record are utilized to save
composition costs.
Fourteen Carloads Of Speeches.
The total weight of campaign speeches
printed since the beginning Of the Sixtieth
fourteen carloads The printed sheets
would completely cover forty-five square
acres of ground. and II each page could
be laid end to end a bicycle track 947
miles long could be obtained. When
printed on one side only the sheets would
double the above distance.
The number of words contained in this
years run OF speeches has been roughly
estimated at 10000, 100000 With the
newspaper calculation of four readers to
each copy this would require the assimi-
lation of nearly trillion words.
Tuesday and Wednesday of this week
the government printing Office practically
ceased to exist, according to those who
for one reason or another did not return
to their homes to participate in the cleo
ton. Nearly thousand employees were
absent last Saturday. while Monday the
voters in surrounding states were ex-
cused from duty. The paymaster worked
over time to insure the accommodation
of those going on leave.
Eight Volumes Of the Record.
The bound volumes of the Record Of the
first session Of the Sixtieth Congress are
about completed, and include eight large
volumes and index. The set contains over
1000 pages. Approximately ITO tons OF
books will have been completed when the
issue is exhausted.

HONOR FOR NEGRO SERVANT.
Body to Be Buried Beside White
Master and Friend.

DAYTON. Ohio, November IA story
of the old slavery days, love of the
white southerner for the negro servant
was brought to light yesterday, when
Mrs. r. E. Brinley Of Louisville came to
this city to exhume the body of Richard
Wallace, an aged negro. who died at the
soldiers home a few weeks ago, for the
purpose Of shipping it to Louisville, where
it will be inferred beside that of her
father. the late William X. Thomas.
Before the war broke out the negro was
a slave on the plantation Of Mr.. Thomas,
but he Joined the Union army and was
captured and made a prisoner of war and
confined In a southern prison over which
Mr.. Thomas had command. Mr.. Thomas
effected his release as soon as he learned
of his imprisonment.
For many years, until Mr.. Thomas died,
Wallace was his body servant. The two
were devoted friends.
So great was the affection which existed
between the two men that the daughter
has lately taken this step.

The varying weather of the past week
has kept many of the old fishermen guess
ing as to what the chances will be for the
next few days. The cold snap which is
bound to come soon now will probably
end fishing around Washington. The con-
dtion of the Shenandoah has been rather
bad for the last ten days or more. and
there has not been much fishing in the
favorite spots along that stream.
Several parties on the lower Potomac
that is. between Washington and Great
Falls-have had poor luck this week. Re-
ports from the sources of bait supply in
dictate that the mad tom are not tempting
the bass as much as soft-shell crabs.
One amateur came back this week with
out having even seen bass. He had
fished all day, used three mad toms out
of a bucket of. thirty-six, and was plumb
disguised. when he ran across an old
scanned and hardened fisherman with a
fine string.
What did you use?" asked amateur
Quicken liver replied the hardened
one.
Whoever heard of that? Anyhow, the
amateur put his mad toms in little pond
near his house. thinking he would take
them out and use them later on, but under
the law of Maryland. in which state he
lives, he cannot do it for several months
to come.
If tomorrow is a fair day do not try to
fish very far up the river. Try the basin
near the Monument or the Virginia side
of the river near the city. Try crab or
smelt-or perhaps chicken liver
Arthur Moses is busy with all sorts of
affairs. He has two big trade associ-
alton meeting. on this week. a special
committee meeting and his own business

yet he is going fishing or bust, SO he says.
L. D. Williams spent Wednesday after
noon in the cold, fishing in the basin
and brought back string Of perch and
one bass. He used mad tom. crab and
plain old-fashioned angleworms.
Great things are expected to come from
the labors Of the international commits
sion on fisheries now working on the
matter. The commission consists of
David Starr Jordan and Prof Evermann
of the United States, and Prof. Bastedo
of Canada.
John c. Hoover and Philip Gill made
fine catch of bass last week. These two
gentlemen spent three days down the
river, fishing at the mouths of several
of the creeks emptying into the Potomac.
and brought back string of bass that
looked like the record catch. The first
days sport was the best, forty-eight fine
fish being. taken.
On the second and third days the fish
were taken in less quantity, but the size
of the bass was something to be won
dered at, several three Founders being
taken.
Harry Lansdale. William McCaffery.
Melvin Rush. Dick Jacobs and Sam
Clark, all we'll known experts with the
rod and gun, have returned from Wood
bridge, Va, where they spent the last
few days in fishing and cunning. They
had wonderful luck. landing 253 bass.
varying in weight from one-half a pound
to two and one-half pounds. Lansdale
and McCaffery also brought back with
them forty-two rabbits as an evidence of
their skill with the gun.
Good fishing is reported near Hanging
Rocks w Va. A party composed OF
Daniel Meye. Clifton Mallet, Roderick
Green and William Neal returned from
there last week after having taken over
q hundred fish.

CARE OF HOMELESS PUPILS

With the ruins of the Bliss Electrical
School at North Takoma, Md, still
|smoldering, steps were taken last night by
the citizens of Takoma Park to aid the
school authorities in rebuilding the school
on the site of the building which was COM
pletely destroyed by fire early yesterday
morning.
The mass meeting of citizens from both
the Maryland and District sides of Tako.
ma Park was held in Takoma Hall. The
meeting was called to order at o'clock
by Albert F. Woods, president of. the Ia
koma Park Citizens Association, who
after a few brief remarks called upon
Mayor W. G. Plat to preside, in view of
the fact that the fire occurred on the
Maryland side of the town. Both speak
ers expressed the sympathy of the resi-
dents to the officers and pupils of the
school who were present at the meet
ing.
Mayor Plat stated that the meeting was
called hastily for the purpose Of render
ing assistance to the 200 students who
lost all of their personal effects, tools,
books, instruments, ETC., and securing
be constructed. Efforts will also be made
to secure financial assistance in order to
enable the school management to rebuild
and resume tuition. II this Is done the
management has announced that it will
not remove the school, but will rebuild at
once on the present site.
At the request of Mayor Platt, Louis D.
Bliss, president of the school, addressed
the meeting, thanking the citizens Of Ia
koma Park for the sympathy which they
had extended and the kind treatment
which the management and students had
received at every hand. He thanked the
citizens for taking the almost naked boys
into their homes and caring for them. He
said that at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors held yesterday afternoon 1t was
decided to accept the offer of the owners
Of Takoma Hall to use 1t for temporary
quarters, and that If the residents Of Ia
koma desired the school to stay new
building would be erected as soon as pos
sible.

builds up, supplies strength
ment to the body. Drugs destroy, tear
down, because they contain poison in
stead of nourishment. OF course, they
can force an organ to act, but that or
gan is weaker after the effect of the
drug has passed off. Drugs stop pain
temporarily by Supplying the nerves,
but the pain comes back and you have
to take the drug again. Every dose
weakens the nerves.
Electro-Vigor is an electric body bat
terry, applied while you sleep. It pumps
