MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Beaatoi Beaur la arell-to-do. Hia
family has been la e< >uifortahlo cir
cumstr acaa for geaeratiO-a. Ba haa
arrad earafally, thoagh well, and hia
posscssions have increnscd inoderate
*\y with time.
itilliard experts in congresa yield
Ihe palm to Senator Mullory, of Flor?
ida, whose work with the nie is of
the highest order. Only Coiijjressman
Cochran. of Mu?souri, and Congress
Baan Lauham. of ltxas, are supposed
to be in his elass, aiul both coneede
the Florida mau's superior skill.
The roll call of niiilionaire senators
ln the Fifty-eighth congress will
atand about as follows: Clark, Han
?a, Depew, l'latt, Kean, Dryden, Ei
kins. Bard, Karaaa, 1'erkins, Waa*
anore, Proetor, Scott, Quay, Alger,
and Addicks. Perhaps about one sen?
ator in every six is a real live niiilion?
aire.
? Senator Dubois was feeling a bit
fcvut of sorts and on the advice of his
physician went to Atlantic City for
aome sea air. "How did you make
Out?" the senator was asked on hia
return. "Not very well," Dubois Te
jplied. "You see, I went for sea air
and every minute of the four days I
atayed there was nothing but a land
Jbreeze.**
r A reporter saw Senator Hoar com?
ing out of the white house and said:
?"Can I say that you have been talk
Ing with the president on the trust
problem?" Mr. Hoar beamed through
his spectacles as he replied slowly:
*"Let me see. Yes, you could say
that." "Then, senator," began the re?
porter, but the vencrable Yankee in
terrupted: "Yes, you can say that,
but it wouldn't be true," aud he
*a.-alked away chuckling.
The national house of representa
tives has concluded that Congressman
Bheppard, of Texas, has the most del
Icately balanced conscience in the cn
tire body. When he started back
from his holiday he had through
tickets from Washington, but he
found that by coming on the route
he had selected he would be four
hours late for tha opening of con
grc-s. This discovery was made -n
6t. Louis. Mr. Sheppard promptly
threw away his tieUets and bough:
another whieh landed him in Waah*
laajtaa just la time. He wondered
arhj more aaaaaaaal stat aaaaaa
langhcd whep ha told al this experi?
ence. The Tixan is only '27 years old,
whieh may iro ., long way tow;:rd ac
nnamtlaaj for his eat ra aaa ftdalrtj to
duty.
BY WAY OF VARIETY.

Many Ccrinan raihvays stat ions have
tunnels hy means of which the dif
ferent traeks are aafaly reached. It
ls now proMose?l to have such tunnels
Bt important street erossings in Her
lin.
In the United States and Canada the
telegraph poles are usually spaced 55
yards apart, and on the average the
number of rail lengths passed over
in 20 seconds givea very nearly the
train speed in miles per hour.
A novel scheme bns recently been
evolved by which a train v\ill not only
be lighted by electricity.but the power
will be obtained by a rotary fan at
taehed to the front end of the loco
rootive. Tests havt shown that on an
?rdinary train five cars can be illumi
JDated in a night and that thebattery
tn the morning will have nearly its
tnaximum charge? of electricity.
IN SOME OF OUR CITLES.
The report of Coroner Dugan. of
rhilaitelphia, showed that iu the last
year 3,709 deatha were reported and
2,804 inquests held.
Mihvaukee's police trials are but
few. Only nine policemen were tried
on eharges last year out of a force
of 2S1. This represents a great im
proveinent ha the past ten years, aa
there were 42 trials ia 1889.*
Kes'uleiits and property holders on
Thirteenth street, in Atlanta, Ga.,
have petitioned the authorities to
change its name to Piedmont place,
explaining that the name "Thir?
teenth" is somewhat in the nature of
B stigma because of popular super
Btition and is detrimental to their
interests.
City Engineer Ericson, of Chieago,
aays that there is a waste of 7C per
cent. of all the water pumped and,
his plea for the introduction of many
inore water meters having been un
heeded, he will be compelled to ask
for an addiiional appropriation of
$200,000 or more for the city pump
ing stations.
