STORIES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL


Then, again, the senator has had
considerable annoying experience
with 'macers", who seem to think him
a mild and soft-hearted man rather
than the fiery statesman he is.
Wherever he travels, he Is sure TO be
maced" by some pretending wit-liver
and upon refusing 10 recognize APP
peals which he well judged were pre-
tense, he has been subjected TO abuse.
Many people in Washington have
been annoyed in the same manner,
There is entirely too much presump-
ton on the part of a certain class,
and the bill will go a long ways to-
ward providing remedy
Repre- sentative and Mrs. John Dial
zeN, of Pennsylvania are becoming
two prominent social figures in Wash
ington. Whether the representative
and his wife have aspirations to out
do the fashionable entertainers in con-
gress is something which has never
been voiced, but they have more than
kept their end up during the season
just drawing to close
In private life Mr.. Dalzell is a cor
poration lawyer. He has the greatest
head for figures-it is quite impossi-
BILE 10 find adequate adjectives TO
describe Mr.. Dalzell in this direction.
At a banquet in Pittsburg, where they
are continually Waging war for a nine
foot stage in the Ohio River. Mr.. Dial
zell delivered q speech. He quoted
| figures for an hour. At times he was
up in billions; at other times he was
| down in the thousands. He held his
audience enthralled in a maze of ar
| ithmetical calculations which convinc-
ed them because they could not com
! prehend enough of it to gainsay him
When he had finished the burst of
applause which followed was long and
deafening, Guests cheered and stood
| upon their feet to wave their nap
! kins.
| Representative Lands was the next
| speaker. He arose and stood for a
moment looking down into his glass
of mineral water, for the dinner was
! dry.
Finally ne looked around at the ex-
pectant faces and said
If YOU Pittsburgers can get this
/ enthusiastic on water, should like to
know what you would do on cham
payne"
learning that prevails he added. ex-
| planatOrily. ITO your business heads
| YOU pay large salaries, $4,000 a year
| To your professors. YOU pay $4,000.
or perhaps 81 900 1t is because you
| have no knowledge, no thinkers that
| YOU have among you thousands of
| false teachers" He mOdeStly advised
! the United States to treat her foreign
! element as guests, not as citizens.
| 1T is not this cOuntryS destiny to
| assimilate all the nations of the
world" he said You should strive
| to keep pure the blood of the found
ers of America. 1t is the blood of
| Washington and Lincoln that is the
true strain of America. Would you
| have it become a mOngrel? And this
| from an advocate of democracy. AS
to the faults Of this country, he said ::
| What America needs is a thraShing
You are all too proud, too full of con
ceit. You worship the material you
scOrn the things that are higher than
| the material Business is everything :;
| learning is nothing. Why, even China
of its kind, has higher type of civil
lization than you have"

Washington, May 9.-Henry Wat
terson had one little indignant spot in
his usually even temper while here
hobnobbing with statesmen. and the
JASON for it was not apparent until
Mr.. Watterson was about TO depart.
Then he told of a practical joke that
some of his old cronies played on him
recently.
The COLONEL was awakened from
his slumbers by loud cries. When he
enveloped himself in a dressing gown
and threw open window, he saw
three men standing below.
What's wrong?' he asked.
Burglars are about and we thought
you might want to know that one of
your windows is open
"Thanks," said the Colonel which
one?"
The one you have your head stuck
out of" was the response.
It's not often Colonel Watterson is
caught mapping in this manner and
there is little wonder at his keen re-
membrance of the joke.

Crow tribe.
Plenty Coos came TO Washington 10
make a few complaints to the com
mittee. He had several bouts with
Senator Clapp, which ended by the
chief rendering his beautiful war bon
net, composed of feathers from eagles
wings, to the senator. 1t was declined
by the dignified chairman and there
was a tense minute.
Senator Owen, seeing embarrass-
ment was likely to result, quickly

that the city plant is making money
and that the time of the expiration of
its (the l.. II. & p. Coz franchise is
gradually growing nearer and the near
err that time approaches the harder it
will be for it to buy the plant. This is
the reason the company is making its
last and desperate struggle.
There is another thing that should
be considered and that is. that the L.,
H. & P. Co. would rather sell gas than
electricity, and even if the city
should give it franchise that it
couldn't beat in the price of current. it
could give poor service and thereby
force the people to burn gas. The

STATE STREET PAVING
WORK NOT YET BEGUN
The Contractors Say That Are Watt
ing for Action of the Public
Service Corporation.

The contract for paving State
street, from Smith street to the Le-
high Valley bridges, with asphalt
block, was let recently by the Board
of Aldermen to the Hastings Paving
Company, of New York, and work
was to have been started at once.
Alderman Cannon, chairman of the
committee on streets and sewers, at
the request of some of the property
owners on the street, took up the
matter and communicated with the
Hastings Company, who replied that
they were all ready to start, but had
been unable to do SO, as the Public
Service Corporation had not yet con-
tracted for the pavement, between,
and two feet each side, of the rails.
The company also stated in their let
ter that they could not hurry the
corporation, and suggested that AL
derman Cannon take up the matter.
It is believed that the matter will
be adjusted shortly and work on the
street Is expected to be started in
about two weeks.

There will be at least one sailbOat

ment is to start one race immediate

judges and timers, who will un-
doubtedly be the commodores OF the
visiting clubs. B. w. Harrington,

low, in the races.
There will be Joint meeting of
