N this country there Is more interesting hall than the Senate Chamber of the United States,says a Wash- in gton correspon­ dent. Here we have before our eyes eighty of the most famous men of the land, and it would be surprising if a study of them, even of the most casual ' and superficial char- ""aoter, did not reveal to us many charac- '"later studies and in- prTTijr jf j} j"eidents of an inter- "f li u esUng o eating nature. Here laily meet more men whose names ire a household word ^throughout ite country than can be found in iny other assemblage. Here take )lace almost every day a variety of •rlvial incidents of small importance, pet worthy of comment by those whose ousiness it is to study the leading men )t the country and the times. I was much struck a few weeks ago &y the appearance of old Senator Morrill, >f Vermont, just before he was taken il. He was walking about the chamber o his usual restless manner, with head Dent low with age and his white hair speaking eloquently of the many years that he has passed in the public service, [t was thirty-six years ago that this nan first made his appearance in the. Capitol, then in his prime, a young ahd imbitious member of the House of Representatives. It was he who gave kis name to the first great tariff bill passed io the war era, for he was then the Chairman of the Committee of Ways ind Means, a post 6ince filled by some Df the most famous men of our history-- Randall, Morrison, Mills, McKinley, 3pringer. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Morrill tock his seat in the Senate, trhere he has been ever since, an lfonor to his State. Throughout this quarter of a century he has been one of the few men who have represented the highest type of public service in this country--studious, sonscientious, zealous. It is an odd fact that his anxiety to serve his con­ stituents has increased with the weight sf years, and but a short time ago we saw him making a speech in the Senate with an almost painful effort to reach the high standard of effectiveness which came easily to him in his prime. Sad, indeed, was it to see him endeavor .o lift his feeble voice above the hum of the chamber, and to give to his most Im­ portant sentences the emphasis which he knew was their due. His case was only one of many which we have of late had in the Senate--instances of men old and decrepit in years and in physical strength, yet vigorous in intel­ lectual power. When Senator Morrill, though, past 80, made his last great Bpeecn in thp Senate his mind was ap­ parently as. strong, as alert, as full of analysis and the power of logic as ever. It was the voice, the step, the gesture,, the articulation, which Indicated decay. Another striking example of this was afforded by the latest efforts of Mr. Evarts. During the last few years of iis service in the Senate no one could detect any flaw in his mental composi­ tion. He was seemingly the brilliant Evarts of old, a marveil of generaliza­ tion and reaeoning. His great brain was moving on with all the vigor of youth, but the tongue was palsied, the lips were halt and weak, the gestures *those of senility. His last speech in the Senate was like that of a manikin endowed with the highest mentality I SEVAVOK BARSOVB'S POCKET OESTUBI 8.00 & 9.00 8.28 & 4.25 8.80 0 4.75 SKOC & 5 50 .8**0 .«* .41 & .42 .81 VA ,32 8.00 I§ 4.'0 8.80 <G 4.75 M & .87 .8836® .39^ .31 .47 & .40 8.00 0 4.25 8.00 «• 4.75 4.00 @ C.25 •9OH0 .9134 43 ($ .44 0 .33 .43 •83 .92^ .41*4 .31*9 .79 .98 .42 •M* .41 .92 .62 .87 One Of the most solid-looking men of the Senate is Mr. Gray of Delaware, flis case is an illustration of the old adage that a prophet is not without honor, etc. It nuppened that Mr. Gray is little known throughout the country, and I doubt if more than one-half the readers of this letter ever heard of him before, yet In ihe Senate ho is looked up to as one of the strong men, one of Ihe master minds of the body. A thinker, an orator, a patriot, a man of rare ability and common sense, the day will surely eome in which he will be known by the nation at his true worth. One of Sen­ ator Gray's peculiarities is his fondness for running his hands down in the pockets of his trousers. In this he is like a boy who has for the first time in his career attained (ho dignity of pockets. Whether making a speech or engaged loitering about the chamber, an eager listener to all that is going on, Senator Gray habitually has his two big hands thrust into the pockets of his trousers. Another Senator who likes to keep his hands in his pockets is Mr. Barbour of Virginia. A week,or so ago I saw Sena­ tor Barbour making a speech on a sub­ ject tiear to his heart--the Virginia tax bill. In advocacy of his ideas he be­ came insistent, earnest, even eloquent, but he could not muster up enough cour­ age to disengage his hands, which he had thrust into the pockets, of his short coat. As the spirit moved him to ges­ ticulate, he did it in an original and inimitable manner, with his hand in his pockets, f irst his right b£nd ^rould shoot up Into the air for purposes of em­ phasis, and then his left would follow suit, each movement displaying to the curious observer large sections of his waistcoat and shirt. One of the most remarkable faces in the Senate is that of Arthur Pue Gor­ man. It is a saying in the Senato Cham­ ber that there are three Senator Gor- mans--the smiling Gorman, the serious Gorman, and the Gorman who smiles and frowns at the same time. The Maryland Senator is the only man I know who can smile on one side of his face with curling lip and twinkling eye, While on the other side he is as sober as a judge. I know he can do this, because I have seen him. Over in the House end of the Capitol ex-Speaker Reed is still the most con­ spicuous figure. Mr. Reed has of late developed a new fad--one which causes no little amusement among the members who sit near him. It is his belief that drops of water are continually; falling from the beautiful ceiling of the hall and alighting upon his t>ald head. Two or three times a day he throws back his head, rubs the bald spot with his hand­ kerchief, and gases threateningly at the ceiling. In vain do Mr. Reed's friends assure him that he is laboring under a hallucination and that no water falls on his devoted head. The ex-Speaker in­ sists that there is a crack in the roof and that somewhere in the ceiling a pool of water has accumulated for the express purpose of moistening his pate wit^h an occasional drop. An examina­ tion of the roof and ceiling is to be made in a few days in order to allay Mr. Beed's fears. known to the finite mind. Why is it that among men who make their mark In life, their impress upon the thought of their times, solely through their in­ tellectuality, it is the body and not the brain which first gives out? All their lives their physical selves have been carefully nutured, subjeated to little or no strain, permitted to act as mere ten­ ders to the gray matter which adorns the top of the Bpinal column. In the Senate we have a number of> instances of the modern rule that it is Ihe body which first gives way. Take for one sample Senator Turpfe, of In­ diana, Watch him In his seat or mov­ ing about on the fioor, and he looks like a physical wreck--a man who is merely existing. His grizzled head is contin­ ually shaking as if he were palsied. Yet his mind is seemingly as powerful and perfect as It evtr was. His distin­ guished colleague. Senator Voorhees, is another physical wreck. His limbs are thick and halt; his body full of infirmi­ ties. It is with difficulty that he moves about in thp chamber. Yet when he rises to speak the gray matter at the fountain head of his nervous orgaaiza tion sparkles, fulminates>, illumines. He is still forceful, eloquent. It is the phy­ sical organization, which he is supposed to have taxed least of all, which has borne but a small share of the burdens of his career, that first refuses to per­ fectly perform its functions. Though ten years the junior of that remarkable old man. Senator Palmer, Senator Piatt is worthy of mention as Dne of the virile men of his age and times. You may have seen newspaper mention of th& fact that by many of his colleagues Mr. Piatt is considered avail­ able for the no-nination for President. Hedoesn't think so himself, as I happen to know, but still the gossip concerning him goes on. Senator Piatt is perhaps th® most ungainly man we havs in the Senate. He is awkwardness and clum­ siness personified. The tallest man in Lhe Senate, the lankest and leanest, he 'ft also the most awkward. To ad l to the difficulty, he Is as re<?tless as a fish >ut of water. He is constantly walking fcbout the chamber, uneasy and iil-con- ient, as if time hung heavily on his *urads, and in thus perambulating he loes not appear to know what to do with lis hands, and puts his feet down as if ifraid all the while that he might step lpon something which would explode or »ap from under him. Yet, with all ihese peculiarities, he is one of the most pppble men In Senate, one who has k /J=V ,'!V v j.~*i , ' ^ >SL ^ *"V "* • World's Fair Note*. KENTUCKY has made a $100,000 ap­ propriation.

But twenty-five years ago he was one of the wealthiest men of Chicago--the associate in busi­ ness of J. Russell Jones, B. H. Camp­ bell, Henry Corwfth, and George S. BlanchSrd. He was 62 years old and died of heart-disoase. EDWARD T. OLIVER, of the Spring­ field real estate nrmof Brinkerhoff «fc Oliver, committed suicide. Mr. Oliver went down to his office, and after ex­ changing a few words with parties in the office he retired to a rear room and shot himself through the heart.

He has a brother at Jacksonville, 111., an­ other at Kansas City, and a sister at Kellogg, Iowa. He was well-to-do financially, and owned one of the most pleasant homes in the city. AN important document has Just been issued by the Committee on Horticulture and Floriculture of the Illinois Board of World's Fair Commissioners.

The collection will necessarily be-large and will be made with g: eat care and dis­ crimination in order that the adaptibili- ty of every section of the State to horticultural productions shall be in­ telligently and fairly presented. The gen­ eral plan of the committee is to collect specimens of fruit of the growth of 1892 of well-known and approved varieties, characteristic of the three grand horti­ cultural districts of this State. These will be preserved in cold storage and ex­ hibited until the space shall be required lor the products of 1893. The products of 1833 will be presented from every section of the State as they appear in their growth and maturity made to illustrate the progress of the seasbn as it advances from Cairo to Fraeport. There will bi no competition botwoen indi­ vidual and locality. The selections for exhibition will be made by the expert assistants of the committee who may be assigned to duty in different localities. B. Pullen, of Centralla, or C. N.

JONAS GBEENEBAUX was for a long time a speculator on the Chicago Board of Trade, and noted for his suocess.

But in an evil day he got after one Ed­ ward Pardridge, the Napoleon whose successful manipulations on the Board have excited so much wonder and ad­ miration. Jonas thought he had Edward in a tight corner, and tried to squeeze him. But Edward slipped out, and Jonas escaped with the loss of the major part of his bank account.

C.: We do solemnly affirm that, contrary to til law of God and man, an armed body of MtpitaltKto, with hired war men, have rntered our country with the open and ivowed Intention of taking possession of and controlling the same in their own in­ terests; that we believe tln lr aim was to terrorize and depopulate the country to tbeir own aggrandizement, to murder and kill any or all persons resisting them, re­ gardless of reputation or calling; thatfthey oave been detected In the act of commit­ ment of sucU murder and killing; that they save with firearms resisted arrest by the :lvll authorities and have defied the law; that when surrounded by the FherlfTa passe, their capture certain, they were ar­ rested by the military, which military li tiow ordered to escort them in safety to the railroad. The band comprises some of the wealth­ iest people of the State, and they openly aver that ibeir wealth will buy them off ted will tuy the protection of the Govern- thent. Our people have I een calm, patient and miraculously submissive to law and }rder all through tbeir terrible ordenl. They ask not for vengeance, but justice. The executive department of th* State has move! in such a manner as to indicate its sympathy with and protection of these in­ fluential rebels, which same they claim now. Our ] eople have both judgment ntid feeling, v:hich former h»s ever cont.rnlln I itaeiti, yet to se? the slayers of their iuno-" e^jit brothers go unpunished may drive them insane.

We pledjre our honor that nothing has occurred to occasion alarm of bodily injury to the prisoners from the populace, and that we believe such Information 1h false and maliciously intended to injure our people and defame their loyalty to the government, and we firmly 1 olleve there is none intended, when en assurance exists that justice will Ve done; and while in our Judgment it were better to hold the pri'ion- ers for trial at the scene of the crime?, amply protected by troops assisting the theriff, yet, if it is the wiil of the chief ex­ ecutive to remove them, we shall labor un­ ceasingly at his direction to assure him that his people«re worthy of his love and protection. We mo-t respectfully ask, will it be the pleasure of the President to receive a com­ mittee of our county and learn how grossly our people have been mall^ne l? C. J. H ACER SON. Chairman Board County Commissioners and Acting Mayor of Buffala The President's Reply. A special from Buffalo, Wyoming, says: A message in reply to the appeal from the people has been received from President Harrison. The message was circulated among the people and was well received. The people feel better, now that they know the President ahd public are aware that they wish an investigation and justice done to ali parties. The President says: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHIJVITOIT. To C. J. Hagerson and others, Buffalo, Wyoming: T- The Governor of your State mads a call upon me. In conformity with the Constitu­ tion of the United States, for aid in sup­ pressing domestic violence and threatened bloodshed. I could not know anything of the situation except as related by him, and could not refuse the aid ot troops to pre­ serve the peace. The prisoners will, as soon as the State authorities are prepared to re­ ceive them, be turned over to /he civil authorities, and our connection with the m:<ti<<r will end unless further called upon to aid the Stats authorities to preserve the peactk... •, I do not doufit tha£ the executive and judicial authorities of your State wili. without fear or favor, bring to trial and punishment those who have violated the law, by orderly methods. Nothing will be done by me to shield any guilty person. My counsel, as your fellow citizen. Is to proceed in all things peacefully and upon lawful lines. I will, of course, see any one you send, but you will see that I can do nothing except to act with the State to pr?vent violence. Everything else rests with tho State authorities. BENJAMIN HARBISOH.

DREWRY reports a great in­ crease of insanity among colored peo­ ple since the abolition of slavery. From 1880 to 1890 the negro population in­ creased only 1.46 per cent., while tho number of insane negroes doubled, IBO - that now there is one to every 800--due, It is thought, to the abuse of freedom by a people who have been accustomed to discipline and regulation. DR. R. fl. HARRISON, recalling some ways in which people go crazy, cites a few cases seemingly due to isolation or too mu#h centering the thoughts upon , self. His conclusion is: "To have a sound mind and keep it, have some in­ terests outside yourself. If you have no family and horn-3, do something for somebody. There are compensations connected with self-denial which tho preachers have never told us of."
