CAPITOL GOSSIP.


1t has leaked cut that Senator Cal
linger, of New Hampshire. is to dine soon
with Justice Harlan. Of the Supreme
Court and this news coming so shortly
after the Senator's discovery that the
/ honorable justice has reached years Of
discretion without making the acquaint-
ance of the grand old American game
of draw poker has started an amount
OF speculation which may be likened to
that which centers around the problem
whether the present occupant of the
! White House really does not intend TO
| run for a third term.
| The Senator maintains an attitude Of
| uncommunicdtiveness on the subject but
gossips down at the Capitol say that they
would not be az all surprised 10 learn
! that the forthcoming dinner is 10 be the
i forerunner OF a quiet game with the
! Senator as clcerone and the Justice as
novice
All efforts to discover whether the SEN
ator is an adept at the game have failed.
but the gossips argue that, being both
/ an excellent doctor and a distinguished
Senator, he ought to be a pretty good
poker player also, and II the justice is
| 10 be initiated into the game they say,
/ he'd better not get too reckless with his
bets
Senator Tillman, Of South Carolina, be
lieves IN publicity under all circum-
! stances. During an important political
meeting in one Of the cities OF his State
some time ago a proposition was made
that the newspapers be excluded. but the
Senator would not hear OF such action.
Let them ali IN. he said. and tx up
tables for their use. Whether they write
/ for or against us they are the source
through which the people get their infor-
nation, and they have a right 10 be here.

Senator JEFF Davis has found that
| frOck coat a trine uncomfortable. and he
has gone back 10 the original gray walk
+ ing suit which has become familiar I'm the
Senate. II is the general opinion that ne
gray suit is more becoming 10 his com
pleXion than is tile newer and darker
get-up and the Senator certainly seems
/ 10 find more freedom and comfort in the
/ old one

been for some time. when Yesterday
