BROTHERS IN OPPOSITE
PARTIES IN CONGRESS

wASHINGTON.- Fulton family
w is well represented in the Sixtieth
congress. There is a Fulton among
the Republicans in the senate and q
Fulton among the Democrats of the
house. The senator is Charles Will.
liam Fulton. Of the state Of Oregon,

Fulton. who comes to Washington as

delegation from the state Of Oklahoma.
The Oldest ofaceholder at the capital

congress Charles B. Lands and his
brother, Frederick Lands, represented

Some years ago there were two
brothers in congress at the same time,
one in the senate and the other in the

political party. But the Fultons are
the only brothers who have come to
congress together but divided against
themselves politically.

tired by age.
Too fat, as fat as Taft, is the charge
that the Davis board has brought
against Col. w. L. Marshall, of New
York, in charge of the Ambrose chan
mel work. The preliminary examin.
ing board could find nothing the mat
ter with Col. Marshall, but Gen. Fred
Grant excused the big fellow from the
ride out of sympathy for the horse.
The last board to examine him could
find no disability except his corpu.
lency. His retirement has been held
in allegiance until Taft's return. The
secretary and the president will decide
how fat man can be and yet be sarv.
iceable in constructing a big channel.
Meanwhile Col. Marshall is said tc be
reducing his weight by the delicate
process of rolling on the floor. Of1i-

Commodore Perry's Record.

SoushVUoVS TSVUyO 0SCOS0s
Many consider Commodore Matthew
Calbraith Perry to have been a great
err naval man than his more famous
brother, Commodore Oliver Perry. In
fact, the two are often confused. Be
sides opening up Japan to American
trade and to western civilization, he
was the greatest naval educator of his
time. His life may be briefly summed
up as follows:
while yet lad he was a naval
officer in the war of 1912.
Pile chose the location of the first
free black settlement in Liberia.
3-He was the father of the steam
navy.
Ale first demonstrated the eff
cheney of the ram as a weapon Of Of
fence in naval warfare.
5-He founded the naval apprentice
ship system.
6-He was leader of the campaign
to extirpate the foreign slave trade "a
the coast of Africa.
He commanded in 1847 tht
largest squadron which had ever ~
sembled under the American flag
This was in the gulf of Mexico.
She opened Japan to the world.
The Perry family furnished more M
val officers to the United States than
any other American family, with on
exception. The sturdy commander OF
the Saratoga was survived by three
daughters, one of whom became the
wife of August Belmont, the multi
millionaire of New York.

curled the white foam at their front,
while their black Threats vomited

Boats dashed here and there about

how far behind the strange visions

The check for million which Mr..

huge sum. The next installment Of
