Special to The News-Herald.
Washington, D. C., May 1.—One
the things that the United States
senate usually avoIdB, Is hasty
precipitate action, no matter how
urgent the case may be. But for
once this greatest deliberative body
of the world "got a hustle on," and
the way the senators promptly busied
themselves in investigating the TI
tanic disaster, has won the applause
of people everywhere. There has
been, no such Intensity of feeling
known in Washington since the day
of the assassination of President
McKinley, as that produced by the
great horror of the sea. The corre-
spondent of the News-Herald sat
colse to the great Marconi, Inventor
of wireless telegraphy, met and con-
versed with members of the Titanic
crew, and had ample opportunity to
obsorve J. Bruce Ismay, who has
become the central figure of atten-
tion throughout the world sinco tho|
announcement of the hearings at the
senate office building, and Inasmuch
as It has not been published before,
ft may be told to the readers of
this paper that-the palm of the hand
of this British plutocrat appears to
verify his claim that he pulled an
<mr of the life boat in which ho es-
'■aped. Ismay Is not typically Eng
Hah- His complexion Is so dark
|l<> be almost swarthy, and his fen-
(tures and black curly hair, causes
him to resemble more the Hebrew
from which race he is said to com '.,'
than the English, and in the early
period of his arrival in this country,
he wore the look of a nerve-wrecked
man making a supreme effort to put
'.P a bold front. On board the Car-
wile likely to be somewhat mag
mfled ln importance. When it ia
considered what a minute portion tho
Individual is i„ making

will settle the issues, the power of
the human voice becomes lessened
In importance.
lu the face of the criticism of the
small number of life boats on the
Titan tic, it has been pointed out
that the life boats upon the trans-
ports of the American navy fully
as inadequate as those upon pri-
vately owned vessels. Congress has
taken cognizance of the fact that in-
ternal co-operation to bring about
more complete operation of ocean
traffic Is desired. The president has
advised that he is |n fttvor of co.
operating with other maritime pow-
ers to regulate lanes of ocean traf-
fic, speed, life boats. wireless,
earchllghts, and other equipment
Of passenger vessels.

At a dinner party given lately ln
Paris one lady was remarked above
all others for the elegance of her fig-
ure and the perfection of her toilet.
During the mauvais quart d'heure be-
fore dinner she was surrounded by a
host of admirers, and one less bashful
than the rest ventured to offer her the
flower from his buttonhole. It was
accepted, but as the "princess robe"
worn by the graceful creature was
laoed behind, it was necessary to
fasten the flower to the front of her
dress with a pin The operation was
successfully performed, and t{>« fair
lady was led ln to dinner, by the
donor of the flower. They were hard-
ly seated when he heard a ourious
sound like the gentle sighing of the
wind, and on turning toward bis part-
ner he saw with horror that the lovely
figure was getting "small by degrees
and beautifully less." The rounded
form had disappeared before the soup
was over, and long before the first en-
tree the once creaseless garment hung
n great folds about a scraggy frame-

friends and families of the unfor-

bowed down with grief. Memorial

LIST OF DISTRICTS
[ HOW EXPERTS FORM OPINIONS
Distinguishing Marks May Be Forged,
but the Man Who Knows Can-
not Be Deceived.
A dealer ln antiques was talking
about art experts. "Take, for in-
stance," he said, "an expert in old
pewter. You think, perhaps, he dis-
tinguishes old pewter by the marks—
the 'ludor roses, the maker's name,
and so forth? Bless your heart, those
marks are continually forged. No, he
distinguishes old pewter by the feel.
It Is like the china expert. He
with his eyes closed, will distinguish
hard and BOft paste china. It's the
feel again—his lingers trained by
years and years of study till each
one has a brain ln It.
It Is a ourious fact that boys are
more fond of conundrums than girls
are.
While all conundrums are riddles,
all riddles are not conundrums, the
term conundrum being used more for
riddles which are based on some fan-
cied resemblance, such as, "Why Is a
pig looking out of a second-story win-
daw like the moon?" and the answer
is because It looks round. If anyone
objects that the moon does not always
look round, you can reply, "Neither
does the plg^'
Two of the most famous riddles
are at least 8,000 yean old. Tbe first
of which there 1b any record Is found
In the fourteenth chapter of Judges,
and was made up by Samson after his'
flght with a lion. He offered a prize
to anyone who could solve It within
seven days, but no one got it It Is
recorded that his wife pestered him
to tell, her the answer, but he abso-
lutely refused until the time was up
and many think that he never intend-
ed to tell It at all.
Bishop Whately never told the an-
swer to any of his puzzles. If they
were correctly guessed he would ac-
knowledge that the solution was
right; but if no one got tho answer
he kept It to himself, and some of his
enigmas are still unsolved.
One of the chief entertainments in
ancient times at any domestic gather-
ing, such as a marriage feast, was ask-
ing riddles, and many persons spent
their lives in devising them and sell-
ing them to the rich and great, Just as
some public men now get others to
write their speeches for them.

■ These sessions of tbe house are usu-
ally attended only by members of
the family and the members who
make the speeches, and their im-

the euologies are preserved In prin-

A great deal of sympathy Is be-
ing extended to Jonathan Bourne
who failed failed in his re-election
as Senator from Oregon. Bourne
Is one of the most progressive of
all progressives, and he even went
to the extreme of "putting it up to
the people of Oregon" as to whether
they would elect him or not, leaving
the Whole matter to chance, with
the result that he came out at the
little end of the horn. On a former
occasion when Bourne was elected,

times they distinguish a rug by its

dyes This seems incredible till you
think of the Hart-la tweed, that im-

distinguish by its smell—the smell,
vaich never leaves it, of the peat
smoke of the cottage wherein it was
woven on a hand loom.

rt Is a pity In some ways that travel,
even to the uttermost parts of the
earth, has become in this age so much
a matter of course. Not so long ago a
first sight of London or Paris would
bring a thrill to an American; and as
he entered into old world culture and
felt its settled traditions, he was apt
to be lifted out of himself by constant
surprises. But now, with hundreds of
periodicals recounting and actually
picturing the march of events with
the sighs of Persia and the outcries of
China heard here almost as soon as
they are uttered, travel and foreign
acquaintance have lost much of their
romance and refreshment. Set an In-
telligent young American down ln
ront of the Taj Mahal, and its contour
will seem about as familiar to him as
the Metropolitan tower. Nor do we
