Ingtou gosHlcr In a num. IIo has boon
hero no ono known how many years. Uu
knows everybody. It Is tho delight of
lila life to tal;o you up In tho prcK.s gnl
lories, tho beat plaeo in tho world to feeo
nubile men, and point out fticea to you.
Ills tongue moves In Hymnhony with his
forellnger. There's nooouy too great for
him to tipftik of in n familiar way, no
body too obscure for him to know notno
thing aliout.
"There," ho Bays, pointing with his
lead pencil to n big man In ono of tho
rear Heats of tho hoimo, "Is Jim Hums,
of Mlssouil. Know Jim? 1 mean tho
largo man with tho light mustnelio and
tho curly hair. That u ono of tho best
men in tho world. IIo weighs 225
pounds) and isn't n lightweight in debato
or anything else. Comes Irom tho St.
Joseph district in Missouri. Ho is rich,
Sneer thing about tho Hums family is
tat thev hold all their property in com
mon. Thcro'sJlm and his two brothers
and hln two nous. Altogether they uro
worth about $3,000,000, and every cent
of It Is held In common. They liavo tho
biggest bank in St. Joseph, lots of real
estate and ritocks. Tho threo Hums
brothers and Jim's two sons nro nil
chums. They llvo together in a grent
hoiiKO in St. Joseph. Tho brothers nib
all widowers, and tho boys have never
married. Their houso is like a club
house, nnd ono of tho best placed
in thu world to spend a few weeks. They
have a country houso at a summer resort
near St. Joseph. CI rent times they havo
out there. They havo plenty of guests
from among "tho boys" of St. Jo, Kansas
City and St. Louis. It is esteemed an
honor as well as a pleasure to bo invited
to Bpcnd a few days with tho Iuruscs.
Tho Hurnscs aro always together. That's
ono of Jim's Bonn sitting besldo him now.
How did ho get in on . tho floor, bccing
ho isn't a member? I don't know. Guess
ho's a eonuuittco clerk or something,
nominally.
Tell you a story alwut this Hums boy.
All tho Hums boys play tiokcr. Their
father taught them how when they wcro
little fellows. This ono in particular is
n great poker player. Last summer tho
threo Hums brothers nnd Jim's two boys
wcro playing n pretty stllT game ono
nMit out at their summer house. Thev
aro always playing together, nnd don t
liko to play with outsiders. On this oc
clusion young Burns lost several big pots
to his father, and then turned round nnd
put up a hand on tho old man, and beat
him out of $7,000 at ono show down.
But you mustn't get tho idea that Jim
Uurns is a rough man. He's a gentle
man, ntui was iincty educated, lie grad
uated second in his class at Harvard,
was a circuit judgo for several years,
and has been In congress since 1831. Ho
lives at Willard's hotel, whero ho pays
$3.p0 a month for his rooms, so ho will
havo n good pluco in which to keep bach
elors' hall for tho entertainment of tho
other Hurnscs, who nro often with him.
"Tho man in liglit clothes, with a red
necktie, n smilo on his face, and bangs
on his forehead? That is William Wal
ter Phelps, of Now Jersey. Ho looks
somewhat liko n dudo, but peoplo who
think ho is ono don't know him. Phelps
is a brainy man. At Yale ho was a
leader both in tho class room nnd on tho
campus. IIo looks eHeminato, but ho is
an titlilcto. Ills muscles aro liko steel.
Ho has a stock ranch down in Texas,
and when ho goes down thero ho's a
Texan. Jumps a bronco nnd rides
thirty miles without stopping, carries a
gun and drinks a littlo whisky with tho
natives just to keep them good naturcd.
Phelps hud brains enough to make his
own way in life. Before no was 25 venru
old ho had n largo law prnctlco. Made
his fortune in railroads. Some years
ago ho had nearly his whole fortuno in
vested in ono enterprise the Texas Cen
tral. IIo kept sending good money uftcr
bad in that rat hole till his friends ad
vised him to pull out or ho would ruin
himself. Tho road wouldn't pay. But
Phelps stuck to it till ho hud put in
$1,000,000, nnd dually tho road turned
tho hill and mudo him a very rich
man. He is ono of tho most genial
men In public life. Everybody likes
him. His manners nro holt, almost ef
feminate. Hut if you think ho hasn't a
will just try him once. IIo can yes or
no (iilcker mid btick to it longer than
any man In congress. IIo likes to bo
frank and conununicntivo when frank
nohs will help Homebody and hurt no
body, but you couldn't pull a word out of
him with a yokoof bteers when thero nro
reasons why ho shouldn't talk. IIo
adores Hktiuo and is fond of giving
dinners. It Is onoof tho treats of Wash
ington to bit at his table. Ho i.i generous
with his money, but makes no display of
it. Ho gives away more money in charity
than anybody 1 know of In Washington.
Do you remember how ho saved young
Eno from going to prison by going down
into his pocket and pulling out $110,000,
and fairly bhaming Euos rich father
Into putting up a similar sum to save his
his boy? Phelps did that simply out of
thu goodness of his heart, and not be
cause ho had any selfish interest in young
Eno, for ho hadn't.
"I know of another caso. When
Phelps was down in Texas bomo years
ago ho met Hilly Crain, now in congress.
Craiii was lamenting his bad luck in 11
cattle ranch, and uiid lie was likely to
lose everything ho had. 'How much
would favo your' asked Phelps. 'Twenty
thousand dollars,' bald Craln. 'I'll let
you have it,' replied Phelps, ns quick us
that, nnd hogavo him his check on tho
spot. Crain has since paid back every
dollar of the loan. That's tho kind of a
man Phelps i.i. Ho's u clear thinker, a
splendid talker, and a man with a heart
In him. aj,
"The littlo man sitting down thero in
front is Frank Lawler. Surely you'vo
heard of him. Ho comes from Chicago.
Used to keen a saloon there. Llkcti to
talk about the poor workingman nnd
twist tho tail of tho British lion. Somo
peoplo polio kin at Frank becauso ho
murders tho .iuccd'h EtlglUh nnd blar
neys mi much, hut 1 think ho deserves a
good deal of credit for pulling himself
up tho way ho has without any early
uu vantages. Ho is tho hardest working
man in congress. At 1 o'clock every
morning ho begins lil.t rounds if
tho departuuTts. Uo work.t through
more pc;;iois uud things like thut lit m

hands, nnd it's almost ns good ns won.
IIo sticks and hangs liko a leech. About
11 o'clock ho runs around tho hotels, nnd
If there's anybody In town from Chicago
ho shows them tho sights, takes them up
to will on tho president, nnd does tho fair
thing by them generally. After his work
In the houso is done ho sits up till 2 or II
o'clock in tho morning writing letters
and sending out public documents. Ho Is
the greatest letter writer in congress.
Popular? Should say ho was. Thochauces
nro he'll come to congress ns long us ho
wants to. Ho Hjieiuls $500 a year for
public documents to bo malted his con
stituents. All tho peopto In his district
havo small libraries of public documents.
Why, even tho switchmen and gnto
tenders along tho railroads that run
through Frank's district havo libraries
of public documents piled up in their
littlo shanties. They nil swear by Frank
Lawler. Ho's n man of good habits, nnd
Is nobody's fool, either. To show you
how smart ho is I'll tell you ho
keeps u pair of cyo glasses in his
vest Kckut. When ho meets anybody
that knows him nnd that ho can't place
ho shakes hands warmly, Ingeniously
finds out who tho person is, nnd then
pullsouthlsglasscs, wipes them carefully
and sayst 'Why, of course. I'd u-known
you in a inlnuto if I'd had my glasses
on. You see, my eyes nro getting wenk.

"That great heavy man, with n Ixxly
as big us u tobacco hogshead, Is Barnes,
ofCleorgia. IIo weighs more than 1)00
pounds, nnd Is tho biggest 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
somo southorn friends of Ids up Into tho
loft of tho war, state nnd navy build
ing, whero a lino view of tho city uud
river is to Iw had. Wliilo they woro up
thero Hamca' friends noticed him to
turn pnlo uud look scared. They asked
him what tho matter was, and ho trem
blingly pointed ton placard which read:
: The. supiwrtltii; EtreiiRth of tills floor U !
! 160 lbs. K.T Rq. ft. :
" 'Great God!' ho exclaimed, 'I weigh
800 pounds, nnd if I don't straddle out
I'll go down!'
"And suiting his action to tho word
ho began to take long steps bo his wholo
weight wouldn't comoon any ono squaro
foot of tho floor."
Thus tho Washington gossipcr rattles
on nbout ono man after another, no mat
ter who. It is ull tho snmo to him. Uo
over to tho uennto and tho first man ho
begins on is President Ingalls.
"Ingalls," he says, "13 ono of tho
brainiest men In tho Bcnnto. Tho only
trouble with him is bo likes to say smart,
cutting tilings. Ho doesn't menu half
ho says, but ho is bo fond of slashing nnd
hitting ho can't let folks nlono. I've
heard him tear his best friends to pieces.
What ho likes best is to havo itcoplo talk
back to him. IIo likes to havo peoplo
givo him ns good ns ho sends, and I Hunk
If 6OH10 men would take a whack nt him
instead of going oft nnd talking about
his malignity Iio'd respect them
moro, niul tlioy il understand nnd
liko him better. Next to his
wife, ho is wonderfully fond of his
family. I think ho likes to ridicule men
in a joking way. IIo used to board down
at tho Strnthmoro Arms hotel, where
Logan lived. Congressman Thomas, of
Illinois, boarded there, too, nnd Ingalls
used to nng Thomas unmercifully. Fi
nally Thomas turned on his persecutor.
Ingalls is liko Phelps used to bo in hlfl
fondness for red neckties, nnd 0110 day
ho nut on ono that was unusually largo
and red. When they sat down to dinner
that evening, Lognn, Ingalls, Thomas
and others nil at ono table, Thomas began
in this way:
'Senator Ixgnn, snld he, 'as I was
coming up Twell Hi street this afternoon
I saw something that shocked mo very
much, bomcthiug that frightened mo till
tho blood stood still in my veins.'
" 'What was it?' inquired Logan.
" 'Why. I looked up toward this houso
ind tho building becmed to bo on fire.
It was wrapped in llames. 1 started and
ran as fast as I could, thinking of what
a terrible thing it would bo if my wifo
and you nnd Mrs. Logan and ull tho
others should uot bo iiblo to get out, if
tho lurid flumes bhould envelop nnd
coiibumo you. if wo should havo a great
holocaust right hero in our peaceful littlo
hotel. Tho thought was bo horrifying
thut I ran at tho top of my bpeed, crying
Uro and rousing tho peoplo ulotig tho
way. Tho ohock to my nerves was bo
great that I am still trembling.'
" 'But what was it,' inquired Logan,
'that guvo you such a nightinuro as that?
" 'As 1 caino closer to tho house,'
Thomas replied, 'I saw what it wns.
Senator Ingalls wns standing on tho
front steps, whero tho rays of tho Betting
6im caught him, uud ho had that neck-
tlo on.'
"For onco in his lifo Ingalls was
knocked out. Whilo Logan and tho
others laughed tho benntor from Kansas
blushed as red as tho offending necktie,
but ho could mako uo reply. Ho didn't
get mad, though, nnd when Mrs. Ingalls
met Mrs. Thomas nt luncheon next day,
shosaid, 'Do you know, Mrs. Thomas,
James is very fond of your husband?'
IngalU and Thomas aro now tho best of
friends, for tho president of tho benate
likes a man who snbscs back, but ho has
never fiiicm that day worn a red necktie.
ti
"Talking about big men, that round
headed, gray old fellow thero isn't bo
very binull. IIo is Senator Sawyer, of
Wisconsin. Tho iioliticinus bay ho has
tho btato of Wisconsin in his pocket.
Sawyer told mo onco ho ennio to tho
senate bhnply becauso ho hud nothing
else to do. IIo was dying of ennui.
Tho benatorial beat was a bort of play
thing for him. IIo says now ho has got
ull tho fun out of it thero is to bo hud,
and that ho doesn't euro to como back
any more. But ho has four years yet to
Ecrve. Sawyer la very fond of lius son,
wlio i3 out west, Texas, 1 think, on n
cattle ranch. When tho young man got
ready to start out for himself tho old
gentleman gavo him $450,000 nnd told
him to take (;ood euro of himself mid his
monoy. 'That isn't tho way I btarted
in life," added Ihobenntor; 'in order toget
out into tho world and get 11 htart on my
own hook, I had to buy my tituo from the
mooter to whom I was apprenticed. It
cost mo &100 of hard earned money to
get away from tho blacksmith bhop and
into the lumber business."'

bring a certain suit, but when ho put tho
matter In tho hands of his attorney tho latter
told him ho had no caso. Hack went tho
