Why EIkins Lost.

The late Senator Elkins, when a
young man, went to New Mexico,
where he learned the Spanish language,
and in time was sent to Washington as
tn delegate from that territory. He
had a voice on the floor Of the house,
but no vote. In 1875, when Colorado
was admitted to the Union, New Mexi-
CO was also to have been admitted. 1t
may seem strange now, but New Mex
leo was supposed at the time to have
England was opposed to the admission
of New Mexico. Elkins had gone
among the southern members of the
house and secured enough votes to off
set this Republican detection.
James G. Blaine, the Republican
| leader of the house, had advised that
the New Mexico and Colorado bills be
taken up, one Immediately after the
other. Just before these bills came up,
Julius Caesar Burrows, now senator
| from Michigan, had made a speech in
the house. It was a somewhat bitter
| arraignment of the political methods
| of the south-a fayorite device, just
then, for pleasing northern prejudice
| Elkins. coming on to the floor of the
| house from one of the cloak rooms just
as Burrows had concluded, had not
f, heard the speech, but as he saw many
members cong-atulating Burrows, he
| innocently Joined his own congratula-
lions. A Few minutes later the MOUSE
voted to admit the Centennial state
but rejected iJew Mexico. As Elkins
had hoped to be one of the senators
from the new state, his error returned
swiftly home. but could not stop his
career for long.
He went to New York subsequently
and it was often said of him thai
everything he touched prospered finan-
cially. One of his Missouri schoolmatcs
failed in Wall street in the panic Of
1884 Elkins voluntarily offered hin
$3.50, 900 in cash to help him through
the panic. His friend, however, refused
| the offer.-Co1lier's.

He Tolls for Lima.

Robert Winthrop Chanler, who mar
ried Lima Cavalieri, is working hard
in a studio in West Sixty-seventh
street. Friends of the man who gave
his fortune to the opera singer assert
he has been doing good work-that he
is painting smaller pictures that SELL
But it also is said half the money he
receives for the pictures Bob Chanler
sends to the prima donna.
1t was not long ago that he design
friend. For that work he was paid
well, but in his jubilation he did not
forget his Lima.
When he is at work in his studio
Chanler will not see anybody. He
tolls from early in the morning until
intimate acquaintance are permitted
to visit him in his workshop.
Under shorter and palmer name,
he is said to be living in a Fifth ave-
nue. bachelor apartment. He walks
back and forth from this place to the
studio, and seldom takes taxi.
Friends of the family have sent him
many orders, and with half the money
he helps the little girl along" To
those who really sympathiZe with
ly admits that though things may not
be running smoothly in his matrimon-
ial life, he certainly had the fortune to
marry the woman who was considered
the greatest beauty Paris ever had
seen. And when Chanler talks of the
woman who is dashing about in ST.
Petersburg with part of his money his
friends say there is a touch of his old
self.
He has been known to say to them
| it was an inspiration to know Lima
| Cavalieri, and now that he is doing
good work, he attributes it to his wife.
The idea of sending his wife half the
money he earns is mere sentiment
with him, his good friends say. 1t
also is asserted that Chanler showed
the same spirit toward Cavalieri after
she sent him out to earn his own living
| in Paris, stripped of everything he had
except $40 a month. He sold a pic
| ture for $500, and $3.50 of that went
| to the singer. She took it, they say.
| Those who see the artist frequently
cannot say whether he keeps ledger
of the amounts he sends to Lima or
whether he has her receipt. They say
the only reason for forwarding the
money is to let the woman know that
her husband is doing his best and able
| to hold his own in his own country
