Of

.

the stnid find noble senators whonro to often described ns nt deadly oddson political measures ninny nro warmfriends and oven chums. The benuto Is-

tx body of goodfcllowBhlp ; not only thivt ,

but of rail comradeship. A senator may-be nt political logpcrhcads with hischum , but that is no bar to real com-

panion.ship-

; in fact , Recording to theWashington Post , the most noted casesof "chums'1 have been between men ofopposing faiths.

The most famous pair of chums theecnato over know wore Senator Edmunds-nnd "Old Roman" Thuvman. When thetall Vermonter and Mr. Thurman woreboth senators ono or the other was alwayschairman of the committee on privateland claims , which has a com-

mittee¬

room In n quiet partof the gallery floor. They bothloved n glass -now and then , andono never refreshed himself without theother. Mr. Edmunds , on starting up-

stairs¬

to immplo the contents of theirprivate brown jug , would stop nt thedoor of the senate , give a tcrrillc cough ,

when Mr. Thurman would look up , tukoout his big red bandanna , blow a blastto match Edmunds' cough and nod hishead vigorously a couple of times. Thenhis tall form followed Edmunds' andpretty soon the pair would como backnrm-in-avm as happy as if their most im-portant

¬

bills wore all signed by thejiresldent. When the spirit fired Mr-

.Thurman.

first the little comedy was re-pented

¬

, the bandanna giving the signal.Talk about chums , and the first sug-

gestion¬

is "Cameron and Matt Butler. "They have been the Damon and Pythias-of the senate for years. No ono knowshow it began or what the secret of it is.But Cameron and Butler are insepara-ble

¬

, and when the wives of both arcnway and the senators have to stay inWashington Butler moves down nndstays with the Pennsylvania ! ! . Theynro always pointed to as an instance ofhow political opponents can live to-

gether¬

in brotherly love. Cameron andButler arc said to liavoa perpetual pair ,

and probably if ono were taken away theother would forget and still observe hisold pair.

Minnesota nnil Iiullnnn Mix.

Another couple is at first sight aqueer ono. It is that of Senator Tnrpio-of Indiana and Senator Davis of Minne-sota.

¬

. When Mr. Turpio speaks Mr.Davis is always to bo found close underhis nose listening to the words of wis-dom

¬

that fall from the Indiana senator'sl-ips. . When Mr. Davis addresses thesenate Mr. Turpio returns the compli-ment

¬

and sits close to the Minncsotan-nnd takes in his wise counsels. Theirintimacy dates back to three yearsago , when the committee on Pacificrailroads rondo a trip In the west.Both men had to go , and during thetime they managed to discover they hadkindred interests , a sentiment that fewmen in the senate had. Mr. Turpiespeaks seven languages , and is a lineGreek and Latin scholar. SenatorDavis .has Greek and Latin atf histongue's end , and if ho addressed thebcnuto some time in Greek it wouldn'tsurprise those" who know him best. Ho-is also n most ardent lover of literature ,

especially that of ancient Greece andKoine. This is the foundation of theTurpic-Davis comradeship.-

.A

.

now pair of chums appeared at theextraordinary session of the senate.-Mr.

.

. Wolcott of Colorado has takenUonry Cabot Lodge of Massachusettsunder his wing in a. fatherly mannerthat is very amusing to watch. Mr-.Wolcott

.

is very young , but ho is smart.The Wolcotts and Lodges nro intimatesocially , Wolcott coming from an oldConnecticut family and being a graduateof the same stamp ns Lodgo. Evenbefore Mr. Lodge was elected ,

Mr. Wolcott went to the door-keeper

¬

and picked out a scat for Mr.Lodge right close to him , where hecould keep his eye upon Lodge and guidehim with his own experience. SinceMr. Lodge took his scat the Coloradoman watches over him with a solicitudethat is really touching. Wolcott nndyoung Senator Dixon , who is ono ol thesenate wits , are also good friends , nnd-hinco Lodge has joined them there is a-

threecornered intimacy that is verystrong. They represent the rising , en-ergetic

¬

republican interest. They nrothree of the best orators on the repub-lican

¬

side and a trio worth watching.-

There is a strong friendship and inti-macy

¬

between Mr. Gorman nnd Mr. Fryothat dates 'way back to '811 , when theywore both members of the committee onrules and had to organize for the conductof the Forty-eighth congress. They huvoalways kept up the friendship that wasstarted then. Nothing over seems to-runio it , although it is something of a-cross to Mr. Fryo that Mr. Gorman doesnot lisli. Mr. Gorman and Mr. Fryohave a standing pair , and a man lias tobo pretty good friends with another be ¬

fore that comes to pass. The fishing isthe only drawback , but Mr. Fryo used tomake that up with Wade Hampton whenho wan in the senate , and now that ho isgoing to bo in Washington again , if hofuels equal to it , Fryo and Hampton mayresume their old tr.ips to the provincesfor salmon fishing. General Hamptonisn't very well , but fishing works wonderswith a man-

.Fryo.

certainly doesn't lack for closefriends. Another resourceof his is Sen-ator

¬

Chandler. When there is a longsession , when Mrs. Fryo has gone to thecamp in Maine woods and Mrs. Chandlerhas gone homo to Now Hampshire ,Chandler sends for Fryo , and they keephouse together. Then they send forSenator Plntt of Connecticut , who livesnt the Arlington , and the throe spendull tholr spare momenta together. Theyplay , It is said , the simple llttio gamecalled "High , Low , Jack and the Game ,of v. hich Mr. Fryo is past master nnd-1ms taken thirty-second degree at thevery least. If Mr. Fryo isn't fitted outwith chums to suit all the needs of Illsinako-up , then ho is insatiableAnyhow , ho has the pick of both sides.-

IV III ho I.oueuomc ,

Senator Manderson of Nebraska wllbo desolate when the next emigres ?meets and General Anson McCook is no-on hand in the chief secrotary's chair'-Mandorson and McCook are as thick astwo school girls , and their wives are theunmo. They generally spend their sum-inora

-near each other , and the two gen-

erals¬

fish nnd go on long trips together.When Mandorbon has a moment to spuroho is in McCook'a ollleo , and if eitherhas a atory that the other doesn't knowby heart it is something very late. Thispair becomes a quintet very often withthe addition of Senator BlaukLuru of

Kentucky , Senator Squlro of Washing ¬

ton nnd Senator Ilnwloy of Connecticut.-Of

.

the old war horees Senators Sher-man

¬

nnd Hoar arc ns intlnmto ns men oftheir caliber possibly can bo. Their longservice naturally forms ono bond , but thestrongest is that of blood , both beingdescendants of old Roger Sherman , whohas given to the union morb legislators ,

probably , than any ono man of his directdescendants.-

Shoup.

of Idahoand Pottlgrow of SouthDakota have n common bond In theirwestern hustling times. Gray of Dela-ware

¬

and Walthall of Mississippi arerather chummy.-

AllUon

.

nnil Halo Fraternize.When Senator Halo was charman of a

committee nnd had a line room ho neverwas to found there. If anybyody wantedSenator Halo of Maine the attaches knewthat ho was to bo disc < vorcd in SenatorAllison's room of the committee on ap-propriations.

¬

. Mr. Halo's room was justas line ns Mr. Allison's' and the senatorhad nil the comforts of life nnd many ofthe luxuries in his own quarters , butthen Senator Alll&onof lown was notthere , and , ns a llight of stairs intervenedbetween the senate and Mr. Halo's com-mittee

¬

room , the pair agreed to Hock inSenator Allison'd apartment. They arethe soberest and most solemn lookingpair of chums in the senate.

There are a lot of thorn who have notthe attributes of comradeship. Mr. BriceHocks by himself except when ho findsMr. Gorman. Senator Stewart joinsJohn Chnmbcrlin and the congenialspirits of the epicurean establishmentwhen lie isn't writing free silver poemsand blank verso , and there nro severalothers , llko Mitchell of Oregon nndJones of Nevada , who arc apt to bo inthe name locality.

The Apollo , Senator Gibson of Mary-Ir.nd

-

, has no need of a chum. Ho is toomuch in demand with society , nnd whenho has any spare time "Charley Gibson"-is good enough company for SenatorGibson.

David Bennett Hill was without nJonathan until Edward Murphy , jr. , ofTroy appeared on the horizon , and nowthe ex-governor is lonely no longer.

Most of the now senators haven't hadtime to choose their chums , but every-man likes Senator Lindsay of Kentuckyand his good nature, will make him theprivileged friend and the comrade ofthe entire senate. The individual whocan resist Senator Lindsay's sinilo iscapable of any deed of darkness.-

A.

round dozen of the beauties chal-lenged

¬

inspection in Chicago yesterdaya round dozen of Algeria's crcrno do-

la crcme. They have been picked fromscores and hundreds of Algeria's finest ,

and the result is a galaxy that yieldsthe palm of beauty to none of the peris-of the plaisanco. There is Yamina , as-an instance. Ynmina is the danscuxopar excellence of the party , the Ellsler-of Algeria. Mr. Bloom , who is in chargeof the display and who is fully qualifiedto testify , avows that Yamina is themost perfect specimen of feminine beautyever put on view in Chicago. Inspectionshows justification for Mr. Bloom'sparalyzing assertion , Yamina is a littleabove woman's middle height , with justenough of Olive in her complexion tomake her unusual , but not enough todisfigure her exquisite physiognomy.

There is n depth in her dark brownoycs , a depth of intelligence as well as-

of ordinary , everyday beauty. Yaminatalks French like a Parisian , dances likea premiere who has devoted nil her ex-istence

¬

to stnnding on ono too , nnd ovenin her robes of travel distances all com-petitors

¬

in form and feature. Nothingprecludes the possibility of Yamina'smarrying nn Italian count or an Englishduke during the world's fair saving hoi-own sweet will.

Then there is Baya of Tunis , who is nshade darker than Yaminn , but who stillcould pass for a dark brunet. She , too ,

will prove a cnptivatrix to the wander-ing

¬

oycs of the multitude in this world'sfair year , nnd half n dozen otherscharms will turn their white sistersgreen with envy.-

Mr..

. Bloom's taste in feminine beautyhas been most catholic. The specimensho brought with him squatted on thelloor in a littlo.cirolo yesterday and re-sponded

¬

"bon jour" in their brokenFrench. In their midst was Ouclui , acool black nogress. Oucha's uvoirdti-poise is no trilling matter. No casualspectator would take her for a premieredaiiBcuso. But so she is , and Mr. Bloomis authority for the tale that she candeposit her UOO pounds on the boardswithout causing a quiver in baldheadr-ow. .

Clinging to the knees of Khatoura , thematron and chaperon of the party , wereher two boys , the toys of the party , atthe sight of whom Oucha's white teethshowed themselves in ull their fullness.

With the women wore thirty-eightmen yesterday. There are nil sorts undconditions of Algerians in the party. To-M. . Sillco they all look up as tholr guide ,

philosopher , und friend. M. Sillco is amerchant in Smyrna , but the glare ofthe footlights bus blinded him to hiscommercial pursuits. lie is the Duly of-

Smyrna the prince of all theatricalmalingers. Without hia supervision undcountenance the Algerian villngo hadboon a gross failure. Ho embodied theconfidence of the scheme , and when horaised his standard in Purls severalweeks ago premiers und actresses Hockedto his side in shoals , i

Dances will bo of dally occurrence inthe Algerian villngo. They will bo ofthe bonsuul orlontul order , the perform-ortj

movement for attraction rather than tothe poetry of motion. Men nnd womenwill join hands in the performance , nnd-a Biimptuoubly adorned theatre is wellunder way wherein the performance willtnku plnco. In addition to the theatrethere is a bazaar of many shops , and a-

cnfo under Mr. Bloom's particular cnro ,

FREAKS FOR THE BIG FAIR

."And

.

It will bo exhibited at theWorld's fair. " That is the usual formfor closing n description of some provin-cial

¬

marvel , or some freak which hasfilled the eye of Its discoverer withamazement. From ono end of the coun-try

¬

to the other there have como up toChicago reports of curious things , or an-

nouncements¬

concerning them , nnd thepeople directly in contact with the curi-osity

¬

have expressed ns their apprecia-tion

¬

of the wonder-compelling qualitiesof the thing under discussion that itwould bo exhibited at the World's fair ,

says the Chicago Herald.Perhaps 200 copies of that familiar ro-

pint-

of the Ulster County Gazette ,which contains , among other things , thereport of the death of General Washing ¬

ton , have been carried up to Chicago andtendered to a busy management as theone thing marvelous for which the coun-try

¬

has long been looking. Of coursethe copies are for sale nnd it is ono ofthe most dilllcult of tasks to mnko theowner believe no ono will give him anymoney for the curio. Somehow theidea seems to have gone abroad that theWorld's fair was simply an exhibition ofthe strnngo nndscurious things that havebeen cumbering the shelves or crowdingthe buildings of the rural inhabitant ,

nnd the ambition of the owner is tobring it to Chicago and exhibit it for thecharmed contemplation of the millionvisitors.

Ono day n man climbed into the ele-vator

¬

at the McNally building nnd nskcd-to bo lifted to the director general'sr-oom. . That officer was too busy to BCO

him and ho came back the next day.That time ho conllded to the young manin the outer ollleo that ho had a curi-osity

¬

for exhibition at the fair , and thenho never had a ghost of a show to gotinto the inner room. But the clerkdidn't tell him much , and so ho cameback day after day to see the chief ofil-

ccr.-

. After lie had spent a. week in thecity ho got mad and went away. Hotold the clerk at his hotel that ho had afish with two tails and if the darnedColumbian exhibition didn't know agood thing when it saw it ho didn't care.-Ho

.would go homo and ho would take

liis marvel with him.Hen With n Unckwarcl Stop.

Another man wrote about twenty let-ters

¬

from Hannibal , Mo. , to say ho had awhite Leghorn hen that always walkedbackwards , and ho wanted to got her aplace where she could instruct the pub ¬

lic. Another man in lowiv had a Shet-land

-pony so small that he had her shoes

made from $20 gold pieces , and howanted to place her where she could boseen to the best advantage. A funnything about it is that in each case thelocal papers inform their waiting readersthat tno thing whatever it may bewill bo exhibited at the World's fair.

Some "constant reader" or "old sub ¬

scriber" of a paper in lower Illinoisfavored his local editor with n privateview of the biggest potato that had everbeen raised , and then carefully coveredit up from the sight of common men lestho might not bo able to cinch them intopaying a quarter for a view of it at Chi-cago

¬

, and made the customary announce-ment

¬

that ho would como to Chicagowith the wonder. Still another Egyp-tian

¬

paper tolls a waiting world that"Mr. Fitch Bartholamow , the popularand successful farmer of Riploy town-ship

¬

, has a razor that descended to himfrom his grandfather. It is believed tohave been used by George Washingtonin Valley Forge , and it will bo taken tothe World's fair. "

A Bradford , Pa. , paper declares thatthe heavy steer owned by a certain es-

teemed¬

citizen , and which has been inthe habit of winning first premiums ateach county fair for years , will boshipped to Chicago and exhibited at thegreat exposition. A Mississippi man ,

having removed to Kentucky , and hav-ing

¬

in his possession a billet of woodtwo feet long in which is imbeddedthirty bullets received in the battle of-

Shlloli , is promised by his local paper a-

"cordial reception" when ho takes thecurio to the World's fair. A Wisconsinweekly paper tolls of a wonderful pieceof patclnyork by the wife of ono of "ourleading citizens , " and concludes the de-scription

¬

with the same old story of itsdestined descent upon Chicago.

There is a club-footed boy in Borriencounty , Michigan , who can whistle with-out

¬

opening his month , and ho will "boexhibited at the World's Columbian ex-position.

. " There is another boy in In-diana

¬

"who can throw a stone from asling with such precision as to hit asmall mark at a distance of fifty yards ,and all without opening his oycs. Hisfather is going to take him to theWorld's fair. " An old will in n Pennsyl-vania

¬

county which deprives the publicof the court house grounds and vests thetitle in a family long known as "poorerthan skim milk nnd not any too carefulof other peoples' firewood" has beenfound among the effects of a lately de-ceased

old soldier in Kansas has themusket ho carried with him from thebeginning of trouble at the sack of Law-rence

¬

to the surrender of Bragg at Mo-bile

¬

, Ho writes that ho will take 8100and a pass to and from Chicago , goodfor ninety days , for the relic. Ho addsthat he knows of lots of people who willllko to see it. There is a machine atRlpon , Wis. , built by a boy of 12 , whichso wonderfully pares and quartora ap¬

ples that it fits no other nloho in cre-ation

¬

than that afforded by the timelycoming of the World's fair. And therela a cheese at Republic , O. , so big thatall the neighbors and half the peoplefrom Sjncca county will look for it atChicago.

Sometimes the curio rises into therealm of high art. Thrco sisters sangso well nt the closing exercises of uhigh school in Iowa that they will4-"doubtless bo secured for singing at theWorld's fair , " if ono may credit thechronicles of a weekly paper from thehonored town. An infant prodigy fromnorthern Indiana , a little lad who couldrcclto "Thanatopsis" at the ago of 4 , andwho la still able to hold oven largo audi-ences

¬

entranced with hia eloquence ,though ho la not yet much past 10 yearsof ago , is confidently expected to adornthe World's fair.

Another Nodnwaycounty man , flFWTby the spirit of rivalry ,has Invented n wheelbarrow "that thebottom will drop out whenever wanted ? "nnd that , loo. l'li ] asserted by the sorelypuzzled editor-will bo on hand orrather on the ground. A Knukakeoman , not under ircstrnint , has made acurious decoy Yluck which entices all thewater fowl in tho.llnvnna marshes ; nnd-ho writes that ho will , if properly en-couraged

¬

, bring it to Chicago and ex-hibit

¬

it all summer. Ho doesn't wantanything sniil {about It , for hispeople think ho ought to have bettorterms than thpso lie demands. But if hocan get transbortntlon to nnd from thecity , board at olio of the near hotels , ad-mission

¬

Kansas man has a new system forburning corn cobs in n common cookstove , nnd ho wants to exhibit that. Jlowrites directly to the national commis-sion

¬

and will iinvo no "truck" with sub-ordinate

If.

a man had all the letters receivedby fair officials from exploiters of thcso-nnd kindred freaks ho could start apaper null. And , if in addition , ho hadall the newspapers that in the last thrcoyears have promised fame and fortunethrough a conjunction of marvel nnd theWorld's fair if you had nil this , too ,you could run that paper mill to the endof timo.-

As.

to the letters , not one in a hundredhave been answered. But when theprojector brings his curio in personsome ono has to see him. A careful citi-zen

¬

came all the way from Paducuh ,Ky. , with a garment 400 years old. Hoshowed it to several newspaper men andwas by them referred to the directorgeneral. That was their way of gettingoven at ono grand stroke with both boreand official. The man ux pooled to scohis garment described in full in all theSunday papers , und was grieved whennone of them said anything about it , forho knew many people would bo inter-ested

¬

in that sort of thing. But , as alast resort , ho went to the director gen-eral

¬

; and if ho didn't make a trade withhim there is now on the way to Paducaha very much surprised and grieved andwithal respectable old gentleman.-

that Sunlvcd Fire.There is no system in the letters , and

system cannot well bo followed in writ ¬

ing about them. Ono describes a biblewhich went through a fire ' 'whoro every¬

thing else in'thehouso was consumedand it left lying unharmed on the parlortable. " The next tenders the services of-a "lucky stone" that was never , knownto fall. Nine months ago the Fourth ofJuly oration of a speaker in Clay county ,Indiana , was promised a place in the ex-position

Some country editors catch the humorof the craze. An Iowa county auditor ,who made a mistake in his figures , dis-covered

¬

ithimbolf and made good the lossto the public , is promised by his localpaper a sure place in the World's fair.The Mankato woman who stopped JedBrookor when ho got on u whirl is con-sidered

¬

worthy a place in the exposition.A delinquent subscriber to an Indianapaper , who'has lied about paying up tillthe editor got out of patience , is pub ¬

lished as the biggest prevaricator inthe world , and urged for a place insome competitive examination at theWorld's fair. A railroad engineer whoknocked a calf off the track with forceenough to kill its mother is spoken of by-a Roodhouso paper as a fit candidate foVhonors. And a gravel road contractorwho promises to finish a highway be-tween

¬

two Iowa towns by the Fourth ofJuly is pledged a section for self-exhi ¬

bition nt the fair if ho keeps his word.The man who could gather together

the things that have DOCII offered forpublic view nt the fair would have u col ¬

lection of freaks bigger at least than anyharbored in ull the dime museums ofthe country. But as the fair is to be ashow of quite a difi'ercnt character , allthose marvels will doubtless bo left with-out

TREASURE tTNEARTHED.

The Loot of 1'IrntoH Found on a TexasIsland.

For several weeks a party of workmen ,under Henry Shannon , a Quintala mer-chant

¬

, and Charles Newman , a coasttrader , have been searching on PadreIsland , Tex. , for a treasure , said to havebeen buried there moro than a genera-tion

¬

ago by smugglers , slavers or pirates.-Mr.

.. Solomon Ciovoland , a prominent

citizen of Volasco , returned from PadreIsland and reports the searchers muchencouraged by finding a number ofancient foreign coins and medals of un-known

¬

value at a spot marked upon anold parchment chart that is said to haverecently come , by accident , into the pos-session

¬

of Shannon and Newman. Theparty is now engaged in locating theother places marked on the map. This

.is very dilllcult to do because of the con-stantly

¬

shifting sands on the Island , andthe cutting oil or adding to the banksby the action of the sea currents ,

About eighteen or twenty years ago anold sheep border on the Island stumbledupon a cache of several hundred goldcoins and took them to avillacroon; the RioGrande , where ho was robbed and mor-tally

¬

wounded by Mexican bandits.When found ho barely had life enoughloft to toll of his loss and express regretat not being ubfqo return to the Island fwhere ho bald lie , loft a wagon load o'silver bars ana money that ho intendedremoving as soon ins ho could got a cart.Since then many individuals and partieshave prospected there without success ,but the present haunters nro convincedthat their newly discovered chart willlead them to fortunes. Mr. Clevelandbays all the ooina and medals1 ho sawwere made boween 1000 und 1780. Theworkers are keeping their movements assecret as possible , and had been awayfrom Volusco boveral weeks before any-one knew where they wore , and theywere not much pleased to sco Mr. Cleve-land
