From tho ncratM of thoir talk, which ao-
KNATOK GUI.L0M IN THR CHAMBER.
okkntally reached my car, I inferred
that ta tkoir koiiHohold, aain many othor
koMseholda la this country with which 1
M peraorMlly familiar, thore exists a
aeewwity for saving tho pennies, turning
down the gas ami treating boefstoak us a
laxury to be indulged In only on state
occasions. The couple woro Senator
Cullom and his wife, and after wo had
all finished our marketing, and tho son
ator and 1 walked to tho Capitol together,
we talked of the oxpensivonoM of living
at Washington.
"Tho fact is," said Senator Cullom,
"I find It very hard to keep my noso
above water financially, This morning
I looked over tho bills which I owo and
it alarmed mo. As you know, my wifo
and 1 livo plainly and economically.
Wo pinch in ovory way wo can and
mako 110 effort to put on stylo, and yet 1
have more bills out than my month's
alary will sufHco to meet. I am iw poor
as a church mouse, and tho Iongor 1 stay
iu congress tho poorer I will be. Tho
day is coming in which I will havo to
got out and go into something where 1
can mako a little tnoney for my declhv
ing years."
Senator Cullom meant what he said,
too, and if his party doesn't nominate
him for the presidency 1 shouldn't bo
surprised to hear of his resignation at any
timo. Ho Is ono of tho poorest inon so
far as this world's riches go in tho son
ate. He has nothing bnt his salary to
live on, and if a friend of his in Illinois
had not at diiTorent times lent bim
monoy which he never oxpectod to havo
repaid, Cullom would have been actually
driven out of public lifo long boforo this.
Ho owns no proporty in Washington.
At Springfield ho lias a pretty homo, but
I am sorry to say it is mortgaged for
mora than it is worth. A splendid roc
ord as legislator, governor and Bonator,
a possibility of being president of tho
United States, a mortgaged homo and
an accumulation of tradesmen's bills to
be paid out of his next month's salary
is what Shelby M. Cullom baa to show
for the thirty years which he han spent
in me service or mo people.
Senator Cullom was born in Elk Spring
VHoy, Wayjw county, Ky sixty-two
years ago. His father, R. N. Cullom,
was a poor f armor who owned only two
slaves and who turned them loose wlioh
he decided to go to Illinois. When the
present senator, who had been christened
Shelby Moore, was only a year old, Major
Cullom took his family to Taiewell
county, His., and settled at the edge ot
a piece of woods in which lived a tribe
of Indians. The redskins were sup
posed to be friendly, bnt soon made so
much trouble that the few white settlen.
had to band together for protection, and
finally drove1 the Indiana away at the
nicleofthe'giin. ' """",;', ,
i 'Young Cullom's introdaction. to the
state on which he was' afterward to re
flect so much credit was made under
rather unfavorable circumstances. Be
sides the Indians and the newness of tho
country, that was tho famous "winter
of the deep snow." If the traditions of
tho country may bo believed, tho snow
was about twenty feet deep on tho level
ground
Young Cullom grow np on his father's
farm and performed all 6orteof farm
work in the days when agriculture was
still without tho advantages of modem
machinery and implomonts. In those
times thero was no such thing as a rid
ing plow or cultivator, no mowing ma
chine, no harvester. Shelby was trying
to earn money enough to tako him away
to school, and ho begged his father to
giyo him tho use of a breaking team and
plow, A breaking team consisted of
five yokes of oxen, and the plow was an
enormous, unwieldy affair, with a two
foot moldboard and with handles like a
pair of fence rails. Young Cullom took
this outfit from, farm to farm and
"broke" the pralrio sod with it for bo
much an acre. It was hard work and
trying work, as tho ground in many
places was "barrens" full of brush and
roots. Thero is nothing like a breaking
plow and five yoko of oxen to spoil one's
temper and plunge him into tho unfor
tunate habit of expressing himself pro
fanely, Down in Taxewell county lives to this
day an old ma named ,Findlay who
keeps on the iHuntel in his houso a piece
of dried mud. It is a pieco of mud of
which he is very proud, too, for it bears
tho itnprcN.iof Shelby Cullom's bare foot
-a eouvonlr of tho days in which he
was out breaking pralrio with his ten' ox
team.
When lin wiih nlHitit eighteen Cullom
went to Uock Hlver university, whoro it
was hoiM'd ho would Iw ablo to loam
mora than iu tho log school houso which
ho had 1nm!ii attending during tho winters
in Tawjwoll county. But his health
failed and ho found it necessary to re
turn home. "I hadn't been lmck on tho
farm mora than twonty-four hours," said
tho senator, in telling mo of his early
experiences, "boforo I wan myself again.
I went out into tho meadow and led
eighteen men with a scythe in my hand,
and did more work than any of them."
Cullom's fathor wiw a prominent
Whig, and sorvod two or threo terms in
tho legislature. Among his friends wiw
Aurauam btncoin, whom tho cider Cul
lom had !ioliod In his race for congress.
When Shelby became seized with an
ambition to bocomo a lawyer, it was ar
ranged that ho wiw to go up to Spring
neiu ami siuuy law in Lincoln's office.
But it turned out that Lincoln was nt
that timo a busy man, riding tho circuit
on horseback iw all tho successful law
yers of tho day did, and ho advised Cul
lom to go into a law ofllco whoro tho
lawyer wiw at homo mora than ho wiw.
So ho wont into tho ofllco or Stowart &
Edwards. Whilo studying law his
friends asked him to run for city attor
ney and ho consented. Though a mero
tripling, who had not yet been admit
ted to tho bar, ho was elected by a
majority of four votes.
"Those four votes changod my whole
career," says Senator Cullom, "and 1
sometimes wish tho four majority had
been on tta othor side. Had I toon
defeated for that ofllco, probably I should
never havo run for another, and instead
of being a nearly worn out public serv
ant with nothing in tho houso to eat
and 11 poverty stricken old ago coining
on I should now to a rich lawyer."
Thoso four votes settled tho business,
howovor. Prom that day to UiIb, with
a briof interval or two, ho has been
working for tho public at protty small
salaries. Next year ho was elected to
tho legislature, and' was re-elected,
though in a county strongly Democratic.
This timo ho wiw made speaker of tho
houso, and began to to looked upon as a
rising young man for whom almost any
thing might to in store. Ho mado a
splendid Bpcaker, and after tho session
wiw ovor was appointed to a responsible
post by his old friend Lincoln, who by
tliis timo had bocomo president.
Lincoln mado him a monitor of tho
commission to oxamino and pass upon
tho accounts of qnartermiwters and pay
masters in tho army. It was important
work, and much depended upon tho
manner in which it wiw dono by Cullom
and his associates on the commission,
Governor Boutwell, of Massachusetts,
and Charles A. Dana, now oditor of tho
Now York Sun. It wiw quite an honor
to Cullom to to associated with theso
men, and Lincoln gavo him tho place in
recognition of tho services which Cul
lom's fathor had rendered him Tears be
fore. In 1663 Cullom met with his first de
feat, failing to win election to tho legis
lature. But dofoat only stimulated his
ambition, and in 1804 ho boat his old
law preceptor. Congressman Stowart, in
a Democratic district, and entered con
gross from the capital district of Illinois.
Ho remained six years, in tho houso,
whero ho was chairman of tho commit
tee on territories, and whoro his record
wiw a very good ono. In 1870 liis party
wiw split in twain by a faction fight and
tho district was lost.
Cullom returned from Washington at
the expiration of his term determined to
retire to private lifo and try to mako
soino monoy. But it happened that an
effort was being mado to romovo the
capital of tho state from Springfield.
Peoria, Bloomiugton and othor ambitious
towns woro bidders, and finally thero
was talk of Chicniro nntnrinir flin rnnn
Then the citizens of Springfield becamo
alarmed, and insisted that Cullom should
go into tho legislature to champion their
cause. He coneontod reluctantly, and
being elected was again chosen speaker.
Seeing that fato had ovidently intended
him for public service, and that there was
no escaping t. Mr. Cullom decided that

he might as woll to hanged for a sheep
as a lamb, and said to himself that ho
was going to bo governor of Illinois. In
1870 ho was nominated and elected, and
in 1880 was re-elected. In 1883 ho was
elected to tho senate to succeed David
Dads, and in 1888 was ro-elected.
In tho senate Mr. Cullom has been a
decided success. Ho is now among tho
leaders 011 tho Republican side, and oc
cupies tho seat ho long held by George
F. Edmunds. His specialty is law re
lating to transportation, nnd his famo as

THE NEWK8TIN CIvOAKS n,at,ng
on tho fact that tho modes of tho pres
ent day woro very nearly perfect. Look
at that awful "sack coat I" I had one
just like that all but tho collar thirty
years ago, mado of gray doeskin, as it
was then called, but now it would to
"beaver cloth." Thero aro silk ones on
tho way, olstors, and cloth ones iu ovory
color, all mado without seams and hang
ing liko a pillow case on a broomstick.
Thero are great white or smoko pearl
buttons on tho front, eight of them at
least.
Tho proper skirt to wear with these
now "English" jackets, which, alas!
havo also got tho French stamp upon
them, is a soft wool in somo neutral
tint, or broken plaid, mado plain four
reau shaiie. with no trimming unless,
perhaiw, a band of fur or a narrow
pinked or accordion plaited rufllo.
Skirta of all street dresses, where it
can possibly to nfTorded, havo silk Hn
ings, and around tho tottom of theso are
two and sometimes threo pinked out
ruffles, ono sot under and two or more
on tho tipitor sldo of tho lining. The
dress Itself may to of spartan simplicity
on tho nurface, but if you got a glimpse
of the underside there aro furbelows
and flounces enough to astonish 0110;
and house dresses havo, in addition to
theso, a deep balayeuso flounco of mus
lin and lace, all of which makes tho
dross ot out well at tho feet. Somo
wear theso gowns on tho street, but the
neat lady is apt to mako a display of
fluffy ruffles when sho walks that would
shock herself if sho knew it, or if sho
saw any othor woman do tho samo she
would call her (mentally) a bold, brazen
thing,
The carrick cape, with a postiche
shoulder capo of another material, is
quite stylish just now. The bottom
capo is of Irish friezo or somo othot
shaggy stuff cit circular shano and sim.
ply hemmed. Tho top ono is of velvet,
lined and beaded so that it is iwrfectly
stiff, aud is bordered with a narrow band
of fnr, and tho collar is trimmed In the
Biimoway. This can to left off as the
weather moderates, or can to worn
alouo without tho lower cape.
Tho Watteau bows aro seen on almost
every indoor dress, and many outdoor
ones also. Tho Btylo consists in having
a bow with short loops nnd ends that
fall to tho tottom of tho dress in the
back. Wrupiwrs that havo no Watteau
plait in tho back havo tho bow in its
plnce, nnd it is fastened njion nil kinds
of toilets for old and young. Indeed,
ribbon will to worn almost to tho ex
clusion of every othor garnitnro except
lace, and lace and ribton go so well to
gether that thoy will to largely used as
complements.
Tho neckwear has ribbons, China silks,
