How He Passed a Poet and a Statse-
Saan Into the Senate.

Saan Into the Senate.
During the last days Of Oliver
Wendell Holmes life he visited
Washington in company with Rob
ert @. Winthrop, and both of the
venerable men visited the senate
chamber on the occasion Of some
ceremonies which crowded the gal
leries with people, so that they were
unable to obtain seats. They sent
their cards to Mr.. Evarts, hoping
that he might arrange a place for
them, and when he met them in the
marble room he explained the diff
Guilty.
"The galleries are crowded, as
you know" he said, "and the rules
of the senate admit to the floor Of
the chamber only members of the
two houses of congress, members Of
the cabinet, justices of the supreme
court, ex-senators, persons who
have received the thanks of con-
gress and private secretaries to SEN
ators. l cannot get you admission
in any other capacity, but if you
will accept highly respectable and
remuneratiye employment as my
private secretaries 1 will find you
seats on the floor" Both the poet
and the statesman accepted, and
Mr.. Evarts took them to the door,
where he addressed the doorkeepeg
as follows:
"My dear sir, these two young
men are my private secretaries.
You will observe that they are both
very green and ignorant, but I am
trying to have patience with them
and overlook their deficiencies.
wish you would take good look at
them 30 that when they come here
again to see me you will know
them" And with that he pushed
open the swinging doors and mo-
toned DR.. Holmes and Mr.. VIM

keeper in a bewildered sort of way
remarked in an undertone:

There were many contests held dur

was the exhibits which 50 owed a won-

shortly after o'clock tonight. A
propeller blade, broken, and a guy
wire snapped, were the only parts
damaged and these can be easily re-
paired.

The airship left the hangar at the
inlet at the northern end of the city

tacular flight along the beach, across
the city, and over the meadows be-
tween this resort and the mainland,
The balloon was up nearly two hours

gas and she failed to show proper
buoyancy.
Several landings were made and
finally the Akron could not rise again
