MIsER CALLS ONLY FOR GOLD
First Thought In Ambulance on Way
to- Lynn HospitaI-Found
Starving In Cellar.

Lynn, Mass.-Lying on two bare
boxes in the cellar of vacant house
at "a Berkley street, Lynn, his feet
and fingers frozen, and a cracked
PITCHER full Of gold and silver coins
within reach of his clutching hands,
hugh Morrison, a Lynn expressman,
was found dying from starvation by
the police.
= AS he was taken to the Lynn hos
pltal In the ambulance, with hardly a
chance for life, his first thought was
OF MS pltiful hoard of money.
iney are trying to get my gold"
he said.
UP to few months. ago Morrison
was In the general express business,
and was reported well-tod do, although
IN court recently, when his wife com
planned of non-support, he swore he
had no money. He has been missing
for week, and his wife has been
looking for him to get the weekly pay.
ment OF 81 he was ordered to give her
Tor the support Of herself and three
children
The police heard that Morrison was
IN the Berkley street house, and two
patrolmen went there. In the cellar,
with doors locked, they found their
man.
dressed In an ordinary suit of
clothes, without coat or blanket, he
lay on a bed made Of two bare boxes.
1t was bitterly cold. The dying mans
feet and hands were frozen, and he
told the officers he had not eaten for
over week. On a bench nearby stood
cracked china pitcher. One of the
oihcers picked 1t up. thinking 1t was
Tor bringing water, and as the sick
man uttered feeble cry of protest, he
found 1t half-full of gold and silver
coins. amounting to several hundred
dollars

ORIGIN OF "LoWER HOUSE,
What Charles Dickens Wrote After At.
tending Session of the Law
Making Body.

What Is now Statuary hall was occu.
pied by the house of representatives
from 1907 to 1874, when the capitol
was In ruins. After the restoration of
the building two or three years later
the house convened again in this hall
and continued it's sessions there until
the autumn of 1857, when the present
chamber in the south wing was taken
possession Of by the house of repre-
sentatives. The drapery and furniture
Chairs, desks and sofas-were re-
moved from the old hall and the wood
en- hoor was relaid with marble. The
moor OF the old chamber used to be
four feet lower than 1t is at present
and was lower than the floor of the
old senate, now occupied by the Unit
ed States Supreme court. One author
has said that from this fact originated
the habit Of calling the house of rep
resentatives the lower house." Ev-
erybody knows that the two branches
or congress are coordinate and that
neither Is higher or lower than the
other, but the phrases upper house"
and lower house" persist.
The house met in this chamber when
Charles Dickens made his first visit to
the United States, and part of his un-
popularity was due to his description
OF the place and the habits OF the
members. Part Of what he wrote was
this:
1t Is a beautiful and spacious hall
or semicircular shape supported by
handsome pillars. One part of the gal
lery Is appropriated to ladies, where
they sit in front rows, and come in
and go out as at a play or concert
1t Is an elegant chamber to look at,
but singularly bad one for all pur-
poses OF hearing. The house Is hand
somely carpeted, but the state to
which these carpets are reduced by
the universal disregard of the spit
toons, with which every honorable
member Is provided, and the extraor-
binary improvement, on the pattern
which has been squirted and dabbled
upon 1t In every direction, does not
admit OF being described. 1t Is strange
M2ugh to see an honorable gentleman
S1ng back in his tilted chair with
his legs on his desk before him, shap-
ing a convenient plug with his PEN
knife, and when he is quite ready to
use 1t, shoot the old one from his
mouss as from popgun and clap the
new one In its place. l was surprised
to learn that steady old chewers OF
great experience are not always good
marksmen."

WANTED THE AUTHOR'S NAME
Senator Smoot Demanded That the
Senate Be Told Who Wrote the
Constitution.

During discussion In the senate
upon an addition to the constitution
the speeches had been numerous
There were stretches of uproar, and
then OF monotony, that lasted all day.
Senator Smoot of Utah was very much
interested, but he had been button
holed by q fellow Republican leader
and made to listen to quite an argu-
ment during one Of the rather dry
speeches.
The two had become so wrapped up
In their own conversation, near the
cloakroom doors, that they did not
know Of the progress of things under
the gavers attention.
When the senator who had had the
hoor for some time sat down another
jumped up and asked that the constitu-
tlon be placed on the record with the
speech.
There was a stir, and Senator Smoot
recalled himself He went to his desk

probation by Swinburne of the Greek
poetess Sappho appears in the Satur.

parison, the very greatest poet that
ever lived. Aesohylus is the greatest
poet who ever was, also a prophet.

who ever was, also poet. But Sap.
pho was simply nothing less, as she
certainly was nothing more than the
greatest poet who ever was at all"
