Peculiar Intimacy That Existed Be-
tween Blanche K. Bruce and L. Q.
c. Lamar From the Time That
Both Were Elected Senators.

In 1875 Blanche K. Bruce, born in
slavery, and the first negro to sit IN
the United States senate, was made
member of that body by the M1ssls-
sippi legislature. Two years later that
state named as it's other senatorial
representative L. Q. G. Lamar, who
had drafted the ordinance Of seces-
sion adopted by Mississippi, led his
regiment at Yorktown and Williams
burg, and otherwise labOred assld-
uously in behalf of the COnfederacy.
In color, in antecedents, in training,
in politics, the ex-slave and the man
who was destined to win a seat on the
United States Supreme court, were as
far apart as the poles; yet shortly
after Mr.. Lamar had become senator
it was noticed with more or less aston
ishment in various quarters that he
and the senior senator from Missis-
gippi were on the most friendly terms.
There are old residents in Washing
ton who doubtless can easily recall
how Senator Lamar and Senator
Bruce used to walk arm in arm about
the residential streets of the capital
city and through its parks and
squares. Seemingly, it never occur
red to the white man that the COM
panion of his outings was of another
race, that his early life had been
spent in bondage. And when Senator
Bruce retired from the senate and be
came registrar of the treasury in
1881, the intimacy between him and
Senator Lamar continued, their
walks about Washington being ample
outward evidence Of their friendship.
Together, during all the period that
both men were in the senate, they
would visit the postofice department
relative to appointments. Whenever
It became necessary for him to go to
the department, Senator Lamar would
courteously ask his negro colleague to
accompany him, and more than once
they were seen making their way
there arm in arm, as though they were

Likes American Goi!.

Certainly you are in good luck as
golfer if you go to America Ut all, for
they are gloriously hospitab-e in that
land. writes Horace Hutchinson, in the
London Graphic So far as | could see
the idea that some have here-that
the American notion of the object of
PLAYING a game is purely to win it.,
not to enjoy the playing-is perfectly
mistaken. never had the impression
more strongly anywhere of being in
tho comnanv of men who were playing
the game for pleasure, not for the
mere sake of winning the match. But
then it is certainly true, as l heard
one of their judges q mean a legal
Judge. though he was a judge OF golf,
tool say ia an after-dinner speech that
it is the cleanest sport in America.

Arisfocrat and the Ex-SLaue

old cronies. And It was noticed that
the advances invariably came from
Senator Lamar; that Senator Bruce
did not presume upon the official re-
lations that existed between him and
Senator Lamar to force his personal
attentions upon the latter.
At the beginning of Grover Cleve-
lands first term as president Senator
Lamar became secretary of the inte-
rior. Not long thereafter he sent
word to Senator Bruce, then getting
ready TO retire as registrar OF the
treasury, that he would like to see
him. A little later the secretary was
receiving the registrar as he would an
old friend, and confessing to him that
he doubted whether he was as well
equipped for an executive Office as he
was for a judicial or legislative post
But" he said, Il am going to make
as good a secretary of the interior as
l am able" Then he brought up a
personal matter.
Senator" he asked, how many ap-
pointees of yours are there in this de-
partment?"
Well" replied Bruce, 81 can't tell
off-hand, but possibly there is larger
number here than | should have asked
for"
do you think so, SENATOR" queried
Secretary Lamar. well, | have sent
for you simply to say this: Not one
of your appointees in this department
shall be touched You can tell them
all that they need feel no anxiety;
they shall stay here as long as l am
secretary Of the interior"
Shortly after Justice Lamar's death,
in 1898, Senator Bruce was reminded
Of this incident.
Judge Lamar was faithful to that
self-imposed and unsought for prom
ise," said Bruce. Not an appointee
Of the interior department named on
my recommendation was removed by
him. And when / recall this and all
the other great kindnesses and the
solicitude he showed for me at all
times, do you wonder that l shall
| speak of him as one of the noblest
characters and truest gentlemen /
have ever heard of or known"

"Of course! Why, if you'd taken to

You've made a mistake. Your teach

the main requisites for a player run

There are many kinds of kicks IN
football and as many ways to make
them," says the famous gridiron star.
"The most common is the long, h1gn
punt. Mckay, Browns captain last
year, was the best man ever saw al
this style. He had the ball at arms
length and on level with his head
the ball pointing in at an angle OF
80 degrees. He brought his leg up
straight to the knee until his foot
turned inward at the same angle as
the ball. He caught the ball on the
side, giving it the spiral twist. His
kick continued through until his foot
was over his head.
"In the east the long. low punt IS
gaining favor. The ball travels about
ten yards high, and is hard to handle

kick down fine last year. His kicks

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM
ON TRIAL

Through a case brought in the Unit
ed States supreme court against the
state Of Oregon by the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph company, the
initiative and referendum as a method
of government is on trial, says the
Herald Republican. The case was filed
some time ago, but the recent submits
sion of a brief has reawakened discus
sion of it. The state of Oregon
through the initiative inaugurated and
created a law curtailing the privileges
of the telephone company which has
now attacked the constitutionality of
the law. The supreme court will pass
upon the question and the country will
then be more fully informed.
Oregon is trying nearly all the fads
in government which the fertile brain
of Senator Bourne of that state can
invent. In order to retain his hold
upon the affections of his constituents,
he must be as full of fads as a vaude-
WIG pCiAoiHcT - VI JohcS. Line tHc
clown whose vocation is gone whenever
he fails to come forward with m
thing novel and interesting, Senator
Bourne must labor and bring forth a
new fad in due season or his political
sun 10 in imminent danger of setting,
and staying set.
The initiative and referendum is one
of his fads. The fact that it overturns
all the principles of our government,
that it gives an evanescent majority
all the despotic control Of a monarch
who reigns by the grace of God and his
W mailed fist, makes no difference
to the Oregon senator. 1t enables
him to retain his hold upon the people
Of Oregon, and the end justifes the
means according to his method of
thought. The people of that state
will weary of him, however, just as the
theatre audience wearies of the per-
former whose jokes are stale.
