STANLEY'S WAY TO CONGRESS
Travelled on Steamboat as Long as
Funds Lasted and Then
Got Off.

Representative A. o. Stanley of Ken
lucky was once a school teacher in
the mountains of his native state The
employment was not entirely satisfac-
tory to the young man and accordingly
one day he decided to go out and see
the world.
Boarding a steamboat, he went di-
rect to the captain and handed him
what funds he had in his possession
He told the captain to let him stay
aboard until his money was used up
and then put him off.
Reaching the town of Henderson,
the captain went up to young Stanley
and announced that this was his get
ting off place.
Your moneys all gone" he said.
"All right, captain" replied the
youthful Kentuckian with spirit. I'll
get my luggage and go ashore. l am
going to get ready to go to congress
from here"
Ten years later Stanley presented
his credentials to the speaker of the
house of representatives, as a mem.
Der of congress from Henderson, Ky.

LAMPS FEATURE OF BUILDING
Soft Glowing Bulbs at Pan-American
Structure Are Objects of
Great Interest.

There are no lamps in Washington
like those that shed their soft glow
at the east entrance to to Pan-Amer'
lean building on 18th street. Very
many persons overlook them because
they are only a single feature of that
dazzling white building and are en-
compassed by so many other beautiful
things.
From the sidewalk Is level space
of pure white marble pave leading to
a low flight of seven marble steps.
At the sides of this wide and low
stairway are the lamps, which are OF
gray green bronze. resting on square
marble pedestals taller than the tall
est man. Then the eye sees the base
OF the lamps, lions paw with prom
inent claws supporting each corner.
Above this base is the strong circular
stem of the lamp, and next above is
the lamp proper, modelled after the
fashion Of a great lantern. The light
is glass-inclosed, three panes high of
frosted glass and twelve panes in cir
cumference. Thus there are thirty
six of these panes of glass, each about
the size of the old-fashioned window
lights familiar in oldtime houses and
which are sometimes put in new
houses for colonial or early republican
effect. Around the base Of each light
are six small bronze heads of tigers.
The top of each lamp is convex and
reminds one of the top of big, round
tureen or chatting dish.
Flanking the lamps are a marble
balustrade and the sunken garden,
with its rich green turf bordered by
white marble coping and hedges of box.
In the garden at each side of the ap-
proach are yellow graveled walks
coped with short staircases which
overcome the difference in level be-
garden. Also notable are four big
old sycamore trees-three in the north
garden and one in the south.
In the southeast corner of the south
garden is a sign. put there by the
inaugural committee on the marking
Of historic sites, which reads:
site of the residence of Gen. Van
Ness. who married the daughter OF
Davy Burns, original owner of the
grounds now occupied by the White
House, treasury and state, war and
navy departments"
The sign stands close to a great old
sycamore, the noon shadow of which
falls across the marker. Perhaps the
shade of that sycamore fell often on
Gen. Van Ness and his wife, Marta
Burns, and perhaps 1t was growing
there when old Davy owned the land.

SENATE BATHROOMS NO vow
Showers, Plunses, x-Ray Machines,
Upholstered Couches, and Other
luxuries Locked Up.

The senate bathrooms are locked
up. The showers, the plunges, the X
ray machines, the delicately-uphol-
stored couches. the masseurS and
other luxuries, for which Uncle Sam
has been paying handsomely, are no
more, SO far as the senator's are con-
cerned. If senator wants bath
he has to get 1t at home or hire a
bath of the common or garden va
riety at the prevailing prices. One Of
the solemn questions before the Demo-
cratic caucus some days ago had to do
about the baths. In secret behind
tightly closed doors, the matter was
debated. 1t was before the caucus in
termittently for several days. Finally
it was decided that the Democratic
party could not talk economy while
senators were bathing extravagantly
and fuxuriantly at public expense. So
1t was decided the bathrooms should
be closed.
AS result, the magnificent marble
establishment is in disuse. The chief
messeur and his attendants are gone
1t Is estimated the bathrooms cost for
operation and all something like Sf0sz,
600 year. Several thousand dollars
were paid out to the field marshal Of
the masseurs and his subordinates.
Besides, there was the cost of keeping
up the establishment, rather indefin-
lite sum, but still considerable. The
next thing that may have to go is the
senate barber shop. 1t is under sus-
picion as an adjunct of the Democratic
economy program. 1t was not a Demo
crat but Republican, who was really
responsible for the downfall of the
senate bathrooms Senator Kenyon of

Argues While Seated.

An unique scene was enacted in the
Supreme court room one day recently.
Something that has never happened
before in the history of the Supreme
court, excepting, possibly in the case
of Oliver P. Morton of Indiana and
Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia, oc-
CURED. P. H. Gilmore of Denver had
an argument to make before the Su-
preme court. He was a stanch sup
porter of Blaine in the presidential
campaign in 1884, and was overcome
while making a stump speech. and
never since that day has been able
to make an address standing. He asked
Chief Justice White for permission to
make his argument while seated and
it was granted.

Judge Osborne had his busiest day
on Tuesday, when he heard three

fourth before the close of the court

day no less than SO men served as
jurors. Judge Osborne had four pam

calls and vice versa. And the two men
with names so nearly alike live
