WASHINGTON, Juno 17. (Special.) A Jug of mellow peach brandy In Senator Scott's commltteo room was frcoly tapped by tho senator and his friends on the night preceding tho adjournment of that body. Ac publicans and democrats "got together" over the seductlvo fluid, and some of tho antics of tho lawmakers would mnko powerful In teresting reading. It mado tho usually' staid and dignified senators as frisky and as playful as kittens without bringing to tho surfaco any disposition to display their pu gilistic qualifications. Speaking of tho West Virginia senator's peach and honey, Congressman Henry of Texas said: "I am reminded by tho treat of Senator Scott of the once famous old Judge Colo of my state. Ho was characterized by his at tachment to that seductlvo beverage, peach and honey, and his hatred of whisky and whisky drinkers. Whllo holding court at Austin two men wcro brought up on a chargo of a drunken affray. It was a plain caso and thero wcro a score of witnesses to tho transaction. Tho delinquents pleaded guilty and threw themselves on tho mercy of tho court. They wcro brought up for scntenco separately. " 'You aro guilty of an affray,' growled tho Judgo. " 'Yes, your honor,' whined tho offender, and with tho hopo Hint It might mitigate his punishment added that ho was drunk. " 'Drunk on rye whisky, too,' roared tho Judge, In n volco of thunder. " 'Yes, your honor, drunk on ryo whisky.' " 'Mr. Clerk, record a lino of f SO against this man,' cried Judgo Cole, 'and send him to Jail for sixty days. Wish I could doublo It.' This was poor comfort for tho other fel low who was watting his turn, nnd he camo forward with fear and trembling, but In an instant his faco woro a fotnt smile, which was not understood until tho Judgo began to question him, first asking him It he, too, was drunk. " 'Yes, your honor; drunk, very drunk, was tho reply. " 'And on ryo whisky, too?' snapped tho Judgo. " 'Ob, no, your honor; I never drink whisky. I got tangled up on peach nnd honoy.' "The Judge's features relaxed In nn In Btnnt, and tho prisoner realized that ho had mado a ten-8tr!ke. As tho Judgo raised his spectacles he contemplated tho offender with Interest and then with something llko ten dcrncss said: " 'Ah, sir, pench and honey, eh I That's a gentleman's drink, sir. Tho court sym pathlzcs with you, sir, and docs not regard your offense as very serious. Mr. Clerk, enter a Quo of $1 against this gentleman and dlschargo him on payment of costs.' " According to Senator Tillman, Ninety-Six, South Carolina, was named by an Indian woman, It bolng tho end of a Journey mado by her on foot during tho revolutionary war to Inform tho British that tho enemy would attack them. Tho Indian woman know tho fort was In danger and determined to In form tho official. Sho left her homo on tho Keowce river and made her way on foot through virgin forest, swamp and snow. On crossing each stream of wator sho gave It tho name of tho number of miles she had traveled beforo reaching it. In Pickens county, along tho Pledcmont belt, through which tho Southern railway runs, thero 'aro eighteen creeks named up to twenty-six. It required a day and a night for tho squaw to reach Ninety-Six. It Is one of the oldest towns In tho state's history. Tho buildings aro of ancient construction.

Thero Is a peculiar portrait In Washington which has created much Intercut among thoso who know of Us existence Its pe culiarity Is that every year It has been changed to show, tho changes which time would havo mado In tho original. Tho por trait is by a Washington artist and Is that of his wife, nnd was painted many years ago when sho was a young bride. A few years after tho portrait was painted tho young wlfo died and so great was the grief of tho artist, that ho determined to keep her like ness with him all tho tlmo and to do so ho decided that year by year ho would change the portrait so as to mako It grow old with him and thus keep her, as It were, over with hlra. Every year, on tho anniversary of their wedding day, the artist locked him self in his studio and changed tho lines of tho face of tho portrait, adding what he thought would make tho difference of ono year. Thero havo been many anniversaries of that wedding day and conseqnently many changes In tho portrait Today tho picture Is that of an old woman, the hair turned gray, the face wrinkled and pale, but still beneath tho marks of time, as made by the brush of tho artist, can be seen tUo early beauty of tho bride and tho attractiveness of tho young woman.

The report of tHoHHhance commltteo Is to bo read and It. is possible that an agree ment on the now tcfiool slto matter ra.iy bj reached. Secretary Iirennnn refuses to drew tho warrant for tho payment of $9,500 'to Thomas Hoctor until the finance commit tee's report has been rendered, although by resolution the board Instructed him to do eo. Through tbo School leaguo, which was organized for tbo purposo of securing honest nnd fair-minded men to represent tho taxpayers on tho board, threo repub lican members were elected la April and thoy have undoubtedly expressed their con victions when recording tholr votes. Now somo who are opposed to tho purchaso of the Hoctor slto dcslro to secure an Injunc tion. This was agreed to by membeis of the leaguo, providing those who preferred othor fcltes would furnish the plaintiff and the money to see the legal battlu to an end. While somo complain, a membsr of tho leaguo stated yesterday that It was .difficult to secure a taxpayer who would t i tlon proceedings. Money for tho attorneys nnd court fees has been dreadfully slow lncomlng In nnd from present Indication tho warrant wilt bo Issued on Tuosday night, as per resolution passed at tho j special meeting last week. Another question to como up will bo the ' acceptance of City Treasurer Koutiky's Lond. This bond Is In tho sum of $50,000 and Is ttsttcd by n well known surety com j pnny In New York. As Treasurer Koutsky . receives no compensation from tho board for his work tho school district naturally pays for tho bond, which costs $125 a year. In this connection It has been sugg?sted that some provision bo made to tho trcas- urer for his work, as under tno terms or tho surety bond ho Is not permitted to rccctvo Interest on tho school money In his hnnds. This matter may como up a Uttlo later and bo adjusted to tho satisfac tion of all Interested. ContiilctliiK the Ceiimm.
