EXPENSES OF THE SENATE

Clyde H. Tavenner, the Wash
ington correspondent, Is nothing
If not a statistician. In fact, he is
a glutton for figures, and especial
ly does he revel when exposing
some of the outrageous expendi-
lures of your Uncle Samuel for his
more favored hired men, those IN
position to make the bills and or
der them paid out ofthe Big Fund
without question or useless inves
tigation. In recent letter he
tells thus of how Vice resident
Sherman and Senator Simon OF
our own state hand the people
bunch;
1t cost the people s2,o12.374.52
to maintain the United states
senate during the fiscal year 1910.
Some OF the reasons why it cost
that much are interesting.
"Vice President James S. Sher-
man drew on the people for 81 900
to maintain a touring car. The
sunny officer of the senate kept
track of every puncture during the
year and saw to it that the e-peoble
stood the damage.
ut might be inferred that after
the government had presented a
Peetless Limousine car of the la
test model to the genial vice presi
dent, he at least would supply the
driver. The vice president, how
ever. not only allowed the tax
payers to stand the expense OF his
chauffeur's salary. but permitted
the people to reimburse him for
the chauffeur's railroad fare back
and forth between Washington
and Utica, N. Y. the vice presi
dents home. But this is not all.
The vice president made the
people pay for the chauffeur's coat
and pants" (See page 703 of re
port of senate expenditures
"Senator Simon Guggenheim OF
Colorado, one hundred times
millionaire, and then some, had
his daily newspapers and all the
kilograms for the year charged up
to the government.
THE report of the secretary OF
the senate covers 736 closely print
ed pages. 1t shows that during
the year some of the things the
people paid for were eight dozen
ladies' scissors, one dozen mani
cure scissors. two dozen cork
screws and bath brushes. Under
another head come 20 boxes OF
lemons, two barrels OF granulated
sugar, and 80 cases of White Rock
water splits. Then come 1000
two grain quinine pills. soda mint
tablets, olive oil, castor oil. gly
cerine. Colgate's extract of rose,
nail brushes, 1000 more quinine
pills. Seidlitz powders. vaseline.

SEVERE TEST FOR MILITIA.

Complaints of hard marching and hot

than one seasons national guard cam
naipu Many times New York regi-
meuts have had their embulances filled
with men who had been Worn out by
tours Of marching in a burning sun.
0re of the severest tests 10 which New
York troops have been put in recent
rssrs was during the maueuvres Of
1904 near Manassas, Va, on the field
where the two battles Of Bull Run were
fought during the Civil War.
on that occasion the Blue army,
under General Bell. met the Brown
army Of General Grant in four days Of
uninterrupted battle" The roads were
DRY from weeks of drouth and A bis
terine sun was overhead. Four New
York regiments took part in the manPu-
yres
The 18th had just arrived at 10
o'clock in the morning. after a night
in the train. and was lined up for am
nunition inspection. when three mem
bers collapsed from the heat. All the
regiments suffered during the day.
though IL was spent almost entirely in
camp. Cornelius Vanderbilt and II. n.
Rogers. jr.. were officers in the 18th,
which saw the hardest service of the
manpuvres.
The two armies We're supposed TO rep
resent only the advance Of two larger
forces. AS a result the mannuvres
were rapid and exhausting. In the
Brown army two battalions which were
needed 70 reinforce a weak spot in the
line were brought from camp at double
tine, a distance Of nearly three miles
AT midnight the 18th New York was
ordered on an all night march TO the ex-
IRENE riett wing of the Browns.
The regiment had had hard day of
marching and manRuvring in the sun
and had only one night in which TO re-
euperate from the long all-night ride IN
the train. The men kept their places
stubborn 81 and though many were taken
from the ranks in sheer exhaustion the
regiment reached its destination on the
hight wing Of the Brown army in good
condition in the morning.

not see through the secret or sood

"A very simple thing will sometimes
ruin a days march. I remember one
dav when I was attached TO a militia
encampment--this was in New YORK, 100

ting out for the drill ground. which was
some distance away. 1t was early
morning. and a scorching day already
and vet the whole regiment was going
almost at double-quick.
Now. 1t is very important that troops
should not start the day tired out. Often
the men have a tendency TO strike too
high a gait at the first. and the officers
should be on the lookout TO see they DO
not do it. It is the duty Of the officer
in command Of the leading company TO
set the pace for the column, unless
otherwise ordered. So I rode up TO the
officer. who was a young lieutenant and
asked him why he was going in such A
hurry. He wiped the sweat out of his
eyes and said:
I've got 10 keep up with the major.
The major was on horseback fifty
rods or so ahead, ambling along without
a care in the world. I rode up to hin
and told him he was setting the pace fol
