Gossip From Washington

demands alone go along way toward exhausting the yearly allowance from the government.
 A few extra thousand picked up at Chautauquas and the general lecture platform are worth considering, con seouently the number of congress- men on the lecture platform is in creasinS.
 Senator Tillman has long been one of the stars at Chautauqua. The ner- yous breakdown he suffered will pre- vent him from lecturing this year. Equally well known as a lecturer is Senator LaFollette, but he will not likely do much in the way Of speak ing this summer. His health needs guarding.
 With Tillman and LaFOllette off the platform, the field is open to other brilliant speakers. There are num- Der of shining lights who no doubt will delight those who have the habit of listening to usmmer discourses.
 There is Senator Burkett, of Ne braska: he is fast becoming to the front. and Senator Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee; he also looms large as a lecturer. Senator Deliver attracts large audiences, and Senator Dubois, also has the natural gift of holding his
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-06-07

audiences attention.
 Senator Beveride would be popular on the lecture platform, but he makes it point never to deliver speeches for money. His return from his writ'
 ngs is large, however.
 The senate has no monopoly of the lecturers. Captain Richmond Pearson liobSOn is a bright and shining light. His earnest fight for more battleships and his reasons for supporting the fight for a greater navy makes him an |ntereting factor. He gets huge audi ences wherever he speaks on the greater navy, and he is likely to get bigger ones than ever since the pres ident demanded four battleships.
 Landis, of Indiana, is fast becom' ing a capable lecturer, and is in de- mand for Chautaudua lectures, for college audiences and the like. He is a splendid orator.
 Congressional trips to the Panama canal, to Hawaii and the Philippines have led many congressman to turn to the lecture platform. Their conclu- sions, arrived at after personal inves- tigation of important governmental features, are interesting, and they are well worth the money pal dthem.
 It costs quite a sum to secure the star speakers of congress. Tillman and LaFollette were paid as much as $250 a night and expenses, and their speeches were we'll worth that amount. Every one present got their money s worth.

The tragedy of hunger has reached it's climax among the workers of the northeast coast of England. Not only is there no foo l in thousands of homes, there is not a stick which can be pawned or sold to obtain @ meal. Every hour add one more degree to the intense suffering
 It is women and children first in Sunderland. Fathers walk about the streets pulling at short pipes, which have long been innocent of tobacco, staying away from home so that they may not be tempted to take their share from whatever scrap of food their wives have scraped together. Men who were formerly robust la borers have shrunk in six or nine months of starvation and idleness to skeletons too weak for work.
 Five children in one home clung to their mother, just made widow. Her husband was a fine, stout man, who sold the home bit by bit for food, go- ing without it himself Eventually he got relief work, but was so weak that he caught cold and died from pneu- monia a few days ago.
 In a fireless room close by another family had lost a child, owing simply to lack of nourishment
 Yet these furnishing families are re- Imarkably honest. A few days ago a man had a chance to work. Yester- day his wife visited the eX-mayor ans suit of clothes was given to man produced gold ring which she had found in a pocket of the suit. She returned it, asking if it was right that clothes should be given without l being searched. as it was such a temptation.
 This woman had four hungry child ren at home. She had pawned her own wedding ring for bread.

Queen Alexandra will have @ resi- dence of her own in the event of King Edward leaving her widow. It has just become known that the king has settled, or is about to settle, Sand ringham House which is his private property, upon the queen.
 In like manner, it is believed, Bar ton Manor in the Isle of Wight is to be settled upon Princess Victoria, King Edwards unmarried daughter. Princess Beatrice lives on that island in a charming residence which was settled upon her by her mother, Queen Victoria, who gave her the sincere ap- pointment of governor of the Isle of Wight

Washington. June G.-When senator Frye, of Maine, broke away rom Washington and followed the call ot the mountain brook until it led nm to his comfortable cabin in the WOODS of Northern Maine, the members of both branches of congress nave been chafing to have done with public bus iness, with politics incident to the presidential nominations, and get away 10 their fayorite recreation
 Every senator and every congress- man has his hobby for summer indul- gence. Most of them like to fish, and, like Senator Frye, will seek some la vorite lake Or stream, there to forget, for the time being, the cares of pup lie life.
 Senator Foraker likes to fish, He has not been we'll for some time, but it will not be long now until he pulls on q pair of high-tOp rubber boots and goes wading up the Potomac in search of the pools liked best by bass.
 Burrows, of Michigan, was seen ill an anglers supply store the other day. He, too, likes to fish. While he has a long speech to make at the Chicago convention, he is preparing for his va cation early. Any angler knows that a good part of the enjoyment of fishing is the sorting of flies, the oiling of reels, and the packing of fishing tools. At least, Senator Burrows thinks so.

Senator Deliver, indulges in two hobbies when he is fishing. He takes book along-something light and in- teresting. His boat is flat-bottomed one and, as he drifts or is motionless, his boat anchored to some log, he reads. When he hooks a fish, he lays aside his book, lands his fish, baits the hook and resumes his reading. Some times he does not quit fishing until it is too dark to read
 The late Senator Proctor, of Yer mont, was an ardent fisherman. Rich ardson, of Delaware, is another He has a camp on the St. Lawrence river in the Thousand Islands, where he spends his summer.

Many of the senators go in for au- tomobiling. Guggenheim, Aldrich, El- kins and Foraker are devotees of the whiz-wagon sport and take tours dur ing the summer months All, of them find great pleasure in driving their own cars.
 Then there is the Chautauqua sea son-this is for the thrifty senator or representative who is fitted by art and nature to grace the lecture platform and earn a few honest dollars on the side by addressing large gatherings.
 There is quite a contingent of con- gressmen who find the revenue from the lecture platform a handy supple ment to the salary paid by Uncle sam. It is true that Uncle Sam recently gave 50 per cent increase to all leg islative servants, but there are many who find the drain upon their $7,50O salary rather heavy. Living in Wash ington in the style beftting to states man is quite expensive, and the social

There are other outdoor pastimes popular with the statesmen of the upper house. Senator Warren, of Wyoming, likes to ride horseback. He is & thorough horseman and, when at home in Wyoming, he spends most of his time in the saddle. In Washing he frequently rides with President Roosevelt.
 A number of senators are baseball fans Scott, Brown, and Culberson. for instance, like a game of baseball as well as does the average office boy. Senator Scott, in particular, becomes so enthused over good game that he talks about it for several days.
 Senator Knox has fine farm at Valley Forge. He spends much of his time there when congress is not in session. riding over the broad acres and experimenting the culture of the land.
 Senator Tillman also likes the farm. His special hobby, however, is flowers. He is never happier than when at his South Carolina home, with trowel and pruning shears, traing his flowers He has a great variety in his garden. His collection of roses is particularly note worthy, and he is delighted when his neighbors drop in to see the garden and drop few words of praise

NOTICE.

At meeting of the Montgom-
cry County Board of the Burley
Tobacco Society, held at the Court
house in Mt. Sterling at O'Clock
Monday, June 10, 1908, a resolu-
ton was adopted that no person or
persons must buy pooled tobacco
in Montgomery county without the
consent of the County Board.
The Board expresses surprise
that any member of the Society
should sell his tobacco at a less
price than at which it is graded
when the tobacco is selling rapidly
at Equity prices. Two-thirds of
the 1906 crop is already sold and
buyers are begging for the 1907
crop. E. II. PREwITT,
President.
