Mississippi Senator Retires After Sixty
Days Service.

washington. Feb. 25-What Senator
Depew characterized as farewell,
unique in the senate's history, was de-
liVered by James Gordon. senator from
Mississippi. who said goodby to the
senators with whom he had served for
the last go days.
The venerable Mississippian formally
announced his successor had been cho-
sen. He then told how, when five years
old, he had been presented with a toy
loard which was checked over with diff
ferent objects. some OF them good and
some of them bad. One OF these OBJ
jects WAS the caDitol of the United
states and his mother had told him
if he would be good and would live
correct life ne might some day hope
to sit in the seat of the big man who
was pictured there.
"She never had told me a lie and I
knew that what She said was true. I
knew that I would some day occupy the
seat of that big man and God helping
me, got there yesterday" referring to
the fact that for time yesterday he
had occupied the seat of the presiding
officer.

Col. Gordon. but I never was happy
until got rid of my surplus money. 1
spent much of it on my slaves and the
rest of my funds 1 spent like a gentle

brance.

man. I see his employees speak well of
him, and I am told that he never had a

given much money to churches and ed
Ecation. Now don't suppose that ev-

don't like it can put 1t in their pipes
