Special Oorrospondenco 1
Washington, Jmi. 24. Your Wnsli
Ington goflicr Is a mini, Uu litia leen
hero no ono knows how ninny years. Ho
knows everybody. It Is tlio delight of
his life to tako you up in tho press gal
leries, tho Iwst plnco in tho world to fceo
nubile men, ami point out faces to you.
His touguo moves in nyniphony with his
forellnger. There's nolxxly too grent for
lilm loapinlc of in n fniuilinrwny.no
l)ody too obscuro for him to know Bomo
thing about.
"There," ho eays, pointing with Ills
lend pencil to a big man In ono of tho
rear Heats of tho Iioubo, "Is Jim Hums,
of Mlssouii. Know Jim? I menu tho
largo man with tho light inustncho and
tho curly hair. That's ono of tho best
men In tho world. Ho weighs 225
pounds antl isn't a lightweight in debnto
or anything elso. Comes from tlio St.
Joseph (list t let In Missouri. Ho Is rich.
Sneer thing nlwut tho Hums family ia
int they hold all their property in com
mon. '1 hero's Jim and his two brothers
nnd lilu two nous. Altogether they nro
worth about $,000,000, nnd every cent
of it h held In common. They liavo tho
biggest bank in St. Joseph, lots of real
estate and Blocks. Tho tlireo Durns
brothers and Jim's two sons nro all
chums. They livo together in a grout
house in St. Joseph. Tho brothers nio
all widowers, and tho boys linvo nover
married. Their houso is like a club
house, nnd ono of tho Iwst plncca
m mo worm to upend a low weeus. 1 Hoy
htivo a country houso nt a summer resort
near St. Joscpli. Great times thoy havo
out there, 1 hey havo plenty of guests
from among "tho boys" of St. Jo, Kansas
City and St. Louis. It is esteemed nn
honor as well as a pleasure to bo Invited
to spend a fow days with tho Hurnses.
Tho Hurnses nro always together. That's
ono of JIiii'h sons Bitting beside him now.
How did ho get in on . tho lloor, boeing
ho isn't a member? I don't know. Guess
ho'a a committco clerk or something,
nominally. "
Tell you n storv about this Hums bov.
All tho Hums lwys play iokcr. Their
father taught them how when they wcro
little fellows. This ono in particular is
a grent twker player. Last summer tho
threo Hums brothers nnd Jim's two boys
wero playing a pretty stiff gnmo ono
night out at their summer house. They
aroalways playing together, nnd don't
llko to play with outsiders. On this oc
cjislon young Hums lost several big pots
to his father, and then turned round and
nut up a hand on tho old man, and beat
him out of 7,000 at ono bhow down.
But you mustn't get tho idea that Jim
Hums is a rough man. Ho'h a gentle
man, and was llnely educated. Ho grad
uated second In his class nt Ilnrvard,
was a circuit judgo for several years,
and has been in congress since 18SI. Ho
lives at Willard'a hotel, whero ho pays
$350 a month for Ids rooms, so ho will
havo a good placo in which to keep bach
elors' hall for tho entertainment of tho
other Hurnses, who nro often with hlin.
"Tho man in ligtit clothes, with n red
necktie, a smilo on his face, and bangs
on his forehead? That is William Wal
ter Phelps, of Now Jersey. Ho looks
somewhat liko a dude, but peoplo who
think ho is ono don't know him. Phelps
is a brainy innn. At Vnlo ho was a
leader both in tho class room and on tho
campus. IIo looks effeminate, but ho is
an athlete. His muscles nro liko steel.
IIo ha3 a stock ranch down In Texas,
and when ho goes down thero ho'a a
Texan. Jumps a bronco and rides
thirty miles without stopping, carries a
gun nnd di Inks a littlo whisky with tho
natives just to keep them good nuturcd.
Phelps had brains enough to make his
own way in life. Heforo ho was 25 years
old ho had a largo law practice Made
Ids fortune In railroads. Somo years
ago ho had nearly his whole fortune, in
vested in ono enterpribo the Texas Cen
tral. Ho kept sending good money after
bad in that nit hole till his friends ad
vised him to pull out or ho would ruin
himself. Tho road wouldn't pay. Hut
Phelps Btuek to it till ho had put in
$1,000,000, and finally tho load turned
tho hill and mado him a very rich
man. He is ono of tho most genial
men in public life. Everybody likes
him. His miiuncrs nro boft, almost ef
feminate. Hut if you think ho hasn't a
will just try him once. IIo can yes or
no quicker and btick to it longer than
nny man in congress. IIo likes to bo
frank and communicativo when frank
ness will help homebody and hurt no
body, but you couldn't pull a word out of
him with a yokoof bteera when thero nro
reasons why ho shouldn't talk. IIo
adores Bkihio and is fond of giving
dinners. It is onoof tho treats of Wash
ington to bit at his table. IIo is generous
with his money, but makes no display of
it. Ho gives away moro money in charity
than anybody I know of in Washington.
Do you remember how ho baved young
Eno from going to prison by going down
into Ilia pocket and pulling out 110,000,
and fairly bhamlng Kno'a rich father
into putting up a Biinilar sum to savo his
his boy? Plicfps did that simply out of
tho goodness of his heart, and not bo
causo ho had nny selfish interest in young
Eno, for ho lindn't.
"I know of another caso. When
Phelps was down in Texas bomo years
ago ho met Hilly Crain, now in congress.
Craiu was l.imenting his Lad luck in a
cattle ranch, and i.aid ho was likely to
loso everything ho had. 'How much
would ttivo j ouV asked Phelps. 'Twenty
thousand dollars,' bald Grain. 'I'll let
you have it,' icplicd Phelps, as quick us
that, and ho gavo him his check on tho
spot. Grain has since paid back ovcry
dollar of tho loan. That's tho kind of a
man Phelps 1j. Ho'a u clear thinker, a
bplendid talker, and a man with a heart
in him. ,
"Tho littlo man bitting down thero In
front Ls l'rnnk Uiwlcr. Surely you'vo
heard of him. Ho comes from Chicago.
Used to keen a saloon thero. Llkea to

Ho etlcks nnd hangs llko a leech. About
11 o'clock ho runs around tho hotels, nnd
If thuro'ti anybody In town from Chicago
ho shows them tho night, takes Iheui up
to call on tho president, nnd does tho fair
thing by them generally. After his work
in the house la done ho sits tin till 2 or U

that knows him and that ho can't place
ho shakos hands warmly, ingeniously
finds out who tlio person is, nnd (hen
pulls out his glasses, wipes them carefully
andsayst 'Why, of course. I'd a-known

"That grent heavy man, with a body
as big as a tobacco hogshead, ia Harncs,
of Georgia. IIo weighs moro than U00
pounds, and la the blggeet man In Con
gress by long odds, ami ono of tho most
eloquent. Heard a good story about
Barnes. Tho other day ho went with
some southern friends of his up into the
loft of tho war, stato nnd navy build
ing, whero a lino viow of tho city and
river is to bo had. Wlillo they wcro up
thero Barnes' friends noticed him to
turn palo and look Beared. Thoy naked
him what tho matter was, nnd ho trem
blingly pointed ton placard which read;
i Tho supporting streiiRth of this floor U i
: IWltM. per so, tu
" 'Great Godl' ho oxclaiiucd,''I "weigh

I'll go down V
"And milting his nction to tho word
ho begnn to tnuo long steps bo his wliolo
weight wouldn't comooii any ono wiuaro
foot of tho lloor."
Thus tho Washington gossipcr rattles
on alxmt ono man nftcr another, no mat
ter who. It is nil tho &nmo to him. Go
over to tho ucnato and tho first man ho
begins on is Iresident Ingalls.
"Ingnlls," ho Bays, "la ono of tho
brainiest men In tho senate. Tho only
trouble with him is ho likes to say smart,
cutting tilings. Ho doesn't mean half
ho Bays, but ho is bo fond of slashing und
hitting ho can't let folks nlono. I'vo
heard lilm tear his best friends to pieces.
What ho llkea best is to havo peoplo talk
back to lilm. IIo likes to have peoplo
glvo him ns good as hoBcnds.nnd I think
if 6omo men would take a whack at lilm
Instead of going off and talking about
his malignity ho'd respect them
moro, nnd thoy'd understnnd nnd
llko lilm better. Next to his
wifo, ho Is wonderfully fond of his
family. I think ho likes to ridicule men
In a ioL'intr wnv. IIo used to hoard tlnwn
nt tho Strnthmoro Arms hotel, whero
Logun lived. Congressman Thomas, of
Illinois, boarded thero, too, and Ingalls
used to nng Thomas unmercifully. Fi
nally Thomas turned on hia persecutor.
Ingalls la llko Phelps used to bo hi his
fondness for red neckties, nnd ono day
ho nut on ono that was unusually largo
and red. When thoy Bat down to dinner
that evening, Logan, Ingalls, Thomas
nnd others nil ntono table, Tliomns began
in this way:
'"Scnntor Ixtgan,' said he, 'as I was
coming up Twelfth street this afternoon
I saw something that shocked mo very
much, bonicthing that frightened mo till
tho blood Blood still in nty veins.'
" 'What wa3 It?" Inquired Lognn.
" 'Why, I looked up towmd this houso
and tho building boomed to bo on flro.
It wns wrapped in flumes. I started and
ran as fast as 1 could, thinking of what
a tcrriblo thing It would bo if inv wifo
and you and Mra. lagan nnd all tho
others should not bo able to get out, if
tho lurid Humes bltould envelop nnd
coiibiimo you. if wo should havo a great
holocaust light hero in our peaceful littlo
hotel. Tho thought waa bo horrifying
that I inn at tho top of my speed, crying
flro and lousing tho peoplo along tho
way. Tho shock to my nerves was so
great that 1 am still trembling.'
"'Hut what wnsit,' inquiicil Logan,
'that gavo ou such a nlghtmai o as that?
" 'As I camo closer to tho houso,'
Thomas replied, 'I caw what it was.
Senator Ingalls wns standing on tlio
front btcps, whero tho rnyaof tho betting
sun caught him, und ho had that neck
tie on.'
"For onco in hia llfo Ingalls was
knocked out. While Logan and tho
others laughed tho benator from Kansas
blushed as icd as tho oirendlng necktio,
but ho could mako no reply. Ho didn't
get mad, though, and when Mrs. Ingalls
met Jlra. Thomas at luncheon next day,
alio said, 'Do you know, Mrs. Thomas,
James is ery fond of your husband?1
IngalUand Thomas nro now tho best of
friends, for tho president of tho benato
likes a man who babsea back, but ho hua
nover since that day worn a red necktie.
"Talking about big men, that round
headed, gray old fellow thero isn't bo
very small. IIo ia Senator Sawyer, of
Wisconsin. Tho politicians bay ho has
tho btato or Wisconsin in hia iockot.
Sawyer told mo onco ho came to the
scnato blmply becauso ho hud nothing
elso to do. Ho was dying of ennui.
Tho senatorial seat woa u boit or pltiy
thing Tor lilm. IIo bays now ho has got
all tho fun out of it thero ia to bo had,
and that ho doesn't caio to conio back
any moie. But ho htm fouv yeura yet to
servo. Sawyer ia very fond of Ida bon,
who Is out west, Texas, 1 ihink, on n
cattle much. When tho young man got
ready to btart out for himself the old
gentleman gao lilm $150,000 and told
him to tako (;ood caio of himself nnd hia
iuonoy. 'That Isn't tho way I btarted
in lifo,' added tliobciiutor; 'hiordertogot
out Into tho woild and get n stait on my
own hook, 1 had to buy my timo lioin thu
master to whom I waa appi enticed, It
cost mo t100 or hard earned money to

nishes his dUcoures with ninny amusing und
Interesting stories, among which Is a iartlo
ularly good ono which ho reluten of Mr.
Hoar, tho father of tho senator from Massa
chusetts. Ho brings It In to clinch tho point
that tho opinion of a Judgo wlillo off tho
bench, or of u lawyer when not engaged upon
a caso Involving tho matter in dtsputo, I of
no moro valuo than that of an ordinary mor
tal. Ono day, according to tho Judgo, a man
stopped Mr. Hoar on tho street and axkxl
lilm a question on law, Tho uusn cr strength
ened tho questioner In his dotorniluutlon to
bring n certain suit, but w hen ho put tho
matter in tho hands of his ottornoy tho latter
told lilm ho had no caso. Hack went tho
questioner to Mr. Hoar,
"Didn't you tell mo thus and so tho othor
dnyf" ho asked.
"Well, yes, I supposo I did," said tho old
lawyer; "but you didn't iy mo anything for
It, and tho fact Is I nover can get qulto right
unless I'm paid for It."
Or, as Judgo lllchardson naively puts Itt

woman with a big basket on her arm, nodded
his head hi assent.
"Well, you must tako Maria until you got
to tho corner of Dliuilioth, and continue on
until Matilda and Sarah eomo together, nnd
then you will bo all light,"
"Look heio, my filond, If you think I nm
thnt kind of a man becauso I am from Dallas,
you aro most confoundedly oir. I want you
to understand that I am n gentleman,"
"You dog gastod Itllotl" replied tho Austin
man, "If 1 was us bad off for brains ns you
aro I would boro a holo In my empty skull
and hlro a negro to pour In ten ecntV worth
of cheap olcoiiiurgarluo."
Tho Dallas man shook his llstnt tlio untlvo
and rcpllcdt
"Pvo always heard that tho Statu Lunatic
asylum was too small to accommodate nil tho
lunatics, but now 1 know It," and ho moved

Sol Smith Russell undertook tho other day
to teach his son Dob a lesson In self denial.
"Look hero, Hob," said ho, "whenever you
get anything good you must glvo tho best of
It to your mother "
"1 alius do," said Bob. "T'other day I hail
two itpplei, ono uv 'cm wuz runty, 'nd t'other
wuz yaller 'nd big. I kep' tho runty ono 'nd
glvo tho big yallor ono to mother."
"Thut wns noblo that was manly that
was Just what 1 should dot" said Mr. Russell,
proudly patting his iampcrod darling's head.
"Now that, my son, Is what wo call uu act of
self abnegation, of denial, of sacrifice."
"Yes, sir," said Bob, "but mother don't oat
apples." Chicago Nows.
