C -- How narrowly Illinois missed securing government co­ operation in the construction pf a water­ way from Lake Michigan to the Gnlf, is an incident of the Fifty-ninth congress worth relating. Representative Lori- mer had tried in vain to have the pro­ ject provided for in the house bill that was pending before the Committee on Rivers and Harbors As a member of the committee Mr. Lorimer had pre­ sumed that his favorite project would be accorded generous treatment, and his surprise, therefore, was srreat when he discovered that Chairman Burton was unalterably opposed to it Bnrton is the autocrat of the Committee en Rivers and Harbors. Whatever he fa­ vors is endorsed by the committee; what­ ever he opposes is defeated. The Lori­ mer item was turned down. The entire Illinois delegation was rallied to its sup­ port. CJncle Joe Cannon descended from his high place as speaker long enough to urge upon Bnrton not only the desirability, but economical neces­ sity of establishing a great waterway connecting the Great Lakes with the Gnlf of Mexico. Ordinarily the inter­ vention of the speaker in behalf of any measure of legislation wonld be suffic­ ient to insure its snccess, but in this case Bnrton prevailed. To justify his position he admitted to the Mil an ap­ propriation for a survey of the Mis­ sissippi river from St. Louis to Cairo, bnt that was clearly inadequate. After the bill had passed the house an appeal was made to Senator Hopkins to secure the desired appropriation for. Illinois. The senator undertook the task with characteristic energy and determination. He bad not previously been identified with this waterway legislation except to give it his general endorsement, and was content that the credit for whatever fras achieved shonld be enjoyed by oth- j A Fiery Speech. William O'Brien in his "Recollec­ tions" gives this picture of Timothy Heal.v'a first appearance in parliament: "A quarter of an hour after he took his saat as member for .Wexford he started up to make his maiden speech--tiny of frame, sardonic of visage, his hands in his breaches pockets, as coolly insolent as a Parisian gamin, as entirely de­ testable as a small Diogenes, peering over the rims of his pincenez as from his tub, through bilious eyes over his contemptible audience--and horrified the bouse of commons with the follow- >ing exordium: 'Mr. Speaker, If the noble marquis (Hartington) thinks he is going to bully us with his high and i mighty Cavendish ways, all I can tell him Is he will find himself knocked into a cocked hat in a jiffy, and we will have to put him to the necessity of wip­ ing the blood of all the Cavendishes from his noble nose a good many times before he disposes of us."" A Singular Dream. A singular dream is related in a well known British magazine. A woman suffering from anxiety caused by re­ duced circumstances dreamed that she went to church. "The people began to go out one by one. I looked around and inquired why they were leaving the church. They said: 'To look for the magic bird in the churchyard. You will always have luck if you find it' I thought I would try to find it, went oat and swept away the fallen leaves and found a speckled thrush, and as soon as I took it up it dropped £1 in my hand. The next morning I went Into our bade, garden and there among ^the fallen leaves was the speckled thrush, which had just been killed by la eat It was yet warm. I said, 'Here Is the magic bird, nod the money I know will come by post.' The hope was Justified, for £1 came in the morn­ ing and a check from a friend in the evening." The Unexpected. • curious story is that of the late Colonel Harry McCalmont of the Brit­ ish army. He was a poor man when hie went to the reading of his uncle's •will, hoping that perhaps the departed jmlght have remembered him to the 'extent of an old watch. True enough, the iawyer read out the words, "To my nephew, Harry McCalmont, I leaye ;my watch and chain." The legatee was satisfied, and, leaning back, he drowsed, lulled by the monotonous tones of the lawyer as he read .through the long Instrument At the close he arose to go. "I congratulate you," said the solicitor. "I don't know why you should," said the other. "You are residuary legatee," remarked the law­ yer. "You will have £4,000 annually for the first five years from this date, and afterward yoo will inherit some £7,000,000" Prof. Leach:-- 1 wish to tuske known to the public what you have <l<>iie for mr; altho 1 can not ?xpr»*a u>\ yt rttiiu'lw tor the bene fits derived.from your treatments.

He was unlearned In the law, and his education was so defective that he could not write five consecutive sen­ tences in correct English, yet so ac­ ceptably did he discharge his judicial duties that Chief Justice Parsons of Massachusetts, one of the most learned of lawyers, said of him, "We may smile at his law and ridicule his language,^ yet Dudley, take him all in all, was the greatest and best judge I ever knew in Nsw Hampshire."

He explained his position succinctly at the time to the Washing­ ton correspondent of a Chicago news­ paper: "That waterway is an Illinois project,"he Baid. "Illinois wants it; Illinois will have it. That is all there is to it." And that was all there was to it. The senator submitted an amend­ ment to the house bill providing for an appropriation of $400,000 for the project, and in his capacity as a member of the Committee on Commerce saw to it that it was incorporated in the draft of the bill as finally reported to the senate. He took care, moreover, that it remained in the ^ill when that measure was pnimd by the senate, and thereafter exercised his influence and prerogative as the rep­ resentative of the state of Illinois to pre­ vent Burton from striking out the item in oonference. Burton tried to do this. He threatened to permit the bill to fail rather than accept the Hopkins amend­ ment, and thereby raised a great clamor among southern democrats whose pork barrels had been filled to overflowing bat Senator Hopkins was inexorable. In the language of the late Senator Hanna he stood pat. "Illinois fs going to have that appropriation," he said.
