AMERICAN STATESMEN AND
CLOTHES THEY WEAR.
Kugene Hale of Maine ft the Dresden
Man In the Upper limine of Congreu
Vegt of MUttouri the I'lalaest Dresser
Halley • Good Wearer of Clothe*.
Discussing the matter of dress
among American statesmen a writer
in the New York Press says: If any-
one doubts our democracy let him
spend a day in the gallery of the
United States senate, the least digni-
fied "upper house" of legislation in
the world. "Befo' de wah" all mem-
bers were clean shaven, wore black
frocks and high stocks, beavers, peg-
top trousers and a solemn air of public
importance privately expressed. The
old-timers, like Morgan, Teller, Coek-
rell, Berry, Proctor and Daniel, still
wear their before-the-war clothes, dig-
nity and pride, but the post-bellum
regiment of politicians is uniformed
in the sack suit or the cutaway.
Among the first members of con-
gress to attract universal attention to
dress in the house was James Doug-
las Williams of Indiana, known in
life and death as "Blue-Jeans" Wil-
liams. As congressman and governor
he always wore trousers made of
blue jeans, which cost about
fifty cents a pair. The dress-
iest man in the senate today
is Mr. Hale of Maine. He wears a cut-
away* Lodge of Massachusetts, also
a good dresser, seldom appears in any-
thing but a cutaway. Mr. Hanna likes
the sack. Heitfeld, the giant from
Idaho, wears any old duds that hap-
pen to come handy. Fairbanks, being
as long as a 6treet. and as shadowy
as a vine, presents himself in a
tightly-buttoned frock.
Senator Bate, who is extremely bow-
legged, never wore anything but a
frock coat in his life, and his trousers
have always been built on the balloon
style. He wears one suit about ten
years. Bailey of Texas, shines in a
London's Smoke Cloud.
rt is estimated that London's smoke-
cloud Is fed by an estimated daily
waste of 6,000 tons of coal. The cloud
is distinguishable at Lockinge, sixty-
four miles from London, and in its
passage a distinct residuum is left up-
on the soil.
The ran-American Kzpoiltlon.
Will be the greatest this country has ever
seen. The entire machinery will be run
by power furnished from Niagara Falls.
Although the power required Is enormous
we believe this cataract is equal to the
task, the same as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Is equal to the task of supplying
the body with motive power when it is
run down. There is no medicine In the
world so good for dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, flatulency and nervousness.
Try It.
The weary tramp usually makes
tracks for the county seat.
The man whose only claim to sanc-
tity is. a long face should dispose of a
portion of his cheek.

long-tailed frock and white tie. Chand-
ler, one of the outs, the wisdom, wit
and allegory of the senate for many
years, is singularly careless of dress.
His clothes look as if they are hanging
on a hatrack. One of the fashion
plates was Wolcott of Colorado. When
delivering a s^e.t speech he was gotten
up "regardless," bright cravat, bout-
onniere and all. Gorman maintains
all the proprieties in fiock or cutaway.
Frye has the appearance of an active
business man. Hawley is soldierly
and correct, reminding one of our late
Col. Kip, who never was seen in pub-
lic without gloves. John Sherman

EXCURSION TO YELLOWSTONE PARK.
American Toorlit Association Will Travel
In the West This Year.
An extended tour to the Yellowstone Park
has been arranged by the American Tourist
Association of which Keau Campbell is gnneral
manager. Many people of this vicinity are
going, as the itinerary is leisurely and there
are such long stops at all points of interest
that the travelers will be ablo to make extend-
ed explorations of such places as Pike's Peak
and Garden of the Gods in Colorado. The Itin-
erary of the tour includes a visit to unique Salt
Lake City and long ride In sight of tho Rocky
Mountains, the same features that have
hitherto made these tours so popular will be
prominent this year. There will be utmost
privacy for small parties in the Pullman sleep-
ing and dining cars, and all the coaches used
on the drlies will be for the exclusive use of
tourists. The American Tonrist Association
has also arranged a tour to Alaska, and if In-
dividual members of the Yellowstone party
aesire to continue further north, the trip will
be incorporated in tho itinerary. The cost of
tickets for these tours includes all expenses
everywhere. Full particulars will be furnished
upon application toK. E. BLECKLEY

Publish Actor Thought He Had Found
an Uglier Man.
John Hare, the famous English ac-
jior, is not a beauty-show prize win-
der, and his friends declare he is the
ugliest man alive. Ho has recently
•returned to England from a tour in
this country. On the night of the
usual concert given on board the
steamer the ugly actor volunteered to
pontribute to the program. His fel-
pw passengers expected a sentimental
* -ecitation rather than a personal ex-
ip^erience. But the ugly actor com-
-Yyienced thus, "I know, but perhaps
has not occurred to anybody else,
thiat I am far from a handsome man.
^>n 1 brief, I am such a very hideous in-
vidual that I made a vow early in
i/ — - that if ever I met a fellow creature
>re ugly than myself I would in-
mtly shoot him dead. But for years
„ d years I searched in vain.
"At last," continued the ugly actor,
^vhen I was walking down Broadway
ly a month ago I saw an American
dta'proaching who fulfilled my worst
«'i* prehensions. He was an uglier man
the in myself. I stopped him calmly
maid explained the necessity of keeping
jou 7 vow. A horrible alarm came into
extis face- He feared to die. I was
, slat rry, but 11 had t0 be- 'Am I uglier
1 boo an y0U are? he sasPed at last. "I
1 /as obliged to answer 'Yes.' 'Then,'
-said he with a beautiful air of resig-
iution, 'shoot me at once.'"
