Thomas Collier Platt, who had the

most unpopular man in the United

March 4 last, is today celebrating his
18th birthday. Separated from his
wife, shorn of all political power and
facing suits which question his con-
duct of the United States Express

aged ex-senatOr's anniversary will
hardly be a very happy one.

occupied a seat in the house during
the Forty third and FORTY fourth con-
