Some time ago newspaper dispatch
from Franklin, Pa. told that former
congressman. Joseph G. Sibley, had
spent over $4,000 to win the Repub-
lican nomination for congress in his
district. Oh something less than four
dollars for every vote he received in
the primary. The lero OF to-day's
anecdote is man who spent not one
red cent to secure congressional
nomination and only two cents during
the entire campaign that resulted In
his being sent to congress. The anec-
dote was told to me in 1884 by the
late George d. Robinson. who that
year came prominently before the
country as the victor over Benjamin

Remarkable Resemblance Between
Rastus S. Ransom, Law Partner Of
Arthur, and Postmaster Gen.
eraI Thomas L. James.

There have been many amusing
and some embarrassing complications
arising from the resemblance of one
distinguished man to another. One OF
the most embarrassing cases of the
kind was furnished by the testimony
given In good faith by witness that
he saw James Gordon Bennett on
Fifth avenue. New York, whereas It
was true that Mr.. Bennett was In
Europe at the time, and the witness
had mistaken wellknown double OF
Mr.. Bennett for him.
Probably the most remarkable OF
mistakes due to perfect facial and
physical resemblance between two
men was one in which President Gar.
field was involved, and greatly to his
amusement Yet the presidents mis-.
take was most natural one as the
experience of an adept at remember
ing faces proves. This was the late
Fred Lansing, for many years the
proprietor OF the old Aston House, In
New York city, man who was never
known to mistake a name and a face
but once.
Passing through the rotunda of his
hotel he saw a gentleman sitting on
stool before the lunch counter and,
going up to him, patted him familiar.

The day following. seeing at the

Mr.. Lansing went up to him and

You know, in the early days of rail
reading, after the telegraph had been
adopted for communicating intelli-
gence and orders. almos, all of the
railroad lines west Of Pittsburg, and,
in fact, many of the lines east of that
point, were equipped with single
wire of telegraph. Now, II an acct
dent happened to a train that made
1t necessary to communicate with the
train dispatcher's or the general Offices,

little Morse instrument, which was
carried on trains, would be

prepared to duck and avoid a rush of

Two or three evenings later I

tween double rows Of messenger boys

about eight tons of packages, and,
after divers perils by land and sea,
finally drifted into the parlor. There
sat Marietta Dawson, telling Clara ].
all she had ever heard.
Marietta was to be the maid of
honor, but to hear her talk you'd
think she was the leading lady. That
girl had the busiest voice ever

She certainly was a hard worker
