Of the stnid find noble senators who nro to often described ns nt deadly odds on political measures ninny nro warm friends and oven chums. The benuto Is tx body of goodfcllowBhlp ; not only thivt , but of rail comradeship. A senator maybe bo nt political logpcrhcads with his chum , but that is no bar to real com- panion.ship ; in fact , Recording to the Washington Post , the most noted cases of "chums'1 have been between men of opposing faiths. The most famous pair of chums the ecnato ever know were Senator Edmunds nnd "Old Roman" Thuvman. When the tall Vermonter and Mr. Thurman were both senators ono or the other was always chairman of the committee on private land claims , which has a com mittee room In n quiet part of the gallery floor. They both loved n glass -now and then , and ono never refreshed himself without the other. Mr. Edmunds , on starting up stairs to immplo the contents of their private brown jug , would stop nt the door of the senate , give a tcrrillc cough , when Mr. Thurman would look up , tuko out his big red bandanna , blow a blast to match Edmunds' cough and nod his head vigorously a couple of times. Then his tall form followed Edmunds' and pretty soon the pair would como back nrm-in-avm as happy as if their most im portant bills wore all signed by the jiresldent. When the spirit fired Mr. Thurman first the little comedy was re pented , the bandanna giving the signal. Talk about chums , and the first sug gestion is "Cameron and Matt Butler. " They have been the Damon and Pythias of the senate for years. No ono knows how it began or what the secret of it is. But Cameron and Butler are insepara ble , and when the wives of both arc nway and the senators have to stay in Washington Butler moves down nnd stays with the Pennsylvania ! ! . They nro always pointed to as an instance of how political opponents can live to gether in brotherly love. Cameron and Butler arc said to liavoa perpetual pair , and probably if ono were taken away the other would forget and still observe his old pair. Minnesota nnil Iiullnnn Mix. Another couple is at first sight a queer ono. It is that of Senator Tnrpio of Indiana and Senator Davis of Minne sota. When Mr. Turpio speaks Mr. Davis is always to bo found close under his nose listening to the words of wis dom that fall from the Indiana senator's lips. When Mr. Davis addresses the senate Mr. Turpio returns the compli ment and sits close to the Minncsotan nnd takes in his wise counsels. Their intimacy dates back to three years ago , when the committee on Pacific railroads rondo a trip In the west. Both men had to go , and during the time they managed to discover they had kindred interests , a sentiment that few men in the senate had. Mr. Turpie speaks seven languages , and is a line Greek and Latin scholar. Senator Davis .has Greek and Latin atf his tongue's end , and if ho addressed the bcnuto some time in Greek it wouldn't surprise those" who know him best. Ho is also n most ardent lover of literature , especially that of ancient Greece and Koine. This is the foundation of the Turpic-Davis comradeship. nuil West. A now pair of chums appeared at the extraordinary session of the senate. Mr. Wolcott of Colorado has taken Uonry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts under his wing in a. fatherly manner that is very amusing to watch. Mr. Wolcott is very young , but ho is smart. The Wolcotts and Lodges nro intimate socially , Wolcott coming from an old Connecticut family and being a graduate of the same stamp ns Lodgo. Even before Mr. Ledge was elected , Mr. Wolcott went to the door keeper and picked out a scat for Mr. Lodge right close to him , where he could keep his eye upon Ledge and guide him with his own experience. Since Mr. Ledge took his scat the Colorado man watches ever him with a solicitude that is really touching. Wolcott nnd young Senator Dixon , who is ono ol the senate wits , are also good friends , nnd hinco Lodge has joined them there is a three-cornered intimacy that is very strong. They represent the rising , en ergetic republican interest. They nro three of the best orators on the repub lican side and a trio worth watching. j Mnlno mid Maryland. There is a strong friendship and inti macy between Mr. Gorman nnd Mr. Fryo that dates 'way back to ' 811 , when they were both members of the committee on rules and had to organize for the conduct of the Forty-eighth congress. They huvo always kept up the friendship that was started then. Nothing ever seems to runio it , although it is something of a cross to Mr. Fryo that Mr. Gorman does not lisli. Mr. Gorman and Mr. Fryo have a standing pair , and a man lias to bo pretty good friends with another be fore that comes to pass. The fishing is the only drawback , but Mr. Fryo used to make that up with Wade Hampton when ho wan in the senate , and now that ho is going to bo in Washington again , if ho fuels equal to it , Fryo and Hampton may resume their old tr.ips to the provinces for salmon fishing. General Hampton isn't very well , but fishing works wonders with a man. Fryo certainly doesn't lack for close friends. Another resourceof his is Sen ator Chandler. When there is a long session , when Mrs. Fryo has gone to the camp in Maine woods and Mrs. Chandler has gene homo to Now Hampshire , Chandler sends for Fryo , and they keep house together. Then they send for Senator Plntt of Connecticut , who lives nt the Arlington , and the throe spend ull tholr spare momenta together. They play , It is said , the simple llttio game called "High , Low , Jack and the Game , of v. hich Mr. Fryo is past master nnd 1ms taken thirty-second degree at the very least. If Mr. Fryo isn't fitted out with chums to suit all the needs of Ills inako-up , then ho is insatiable Anyhow , ho has the pick of both sides. Mauilonnn IV III ho I.oueuomc , Senator Manderson of Nebraska wll bo desolate when the next emigres ? meets and General Anson McCook is no on hand in the chief secrotary's chair' Mandorson and McCook are as thick as two school girls , and their wives are the unmo. They generally spend their sum- inora near each other , and the two gen erals fish nnd go on long trips together. When Mandorbon has a moment to spuro ho is in McCook'a ollleo , and if either has a atory that the other doesn't know by heart it is something very late. This pair becomes a quintet very often with the addition of Senator BlaukLuru of Kentucky , Senator Squlro of Washing ton nnd Senator Ilnwloy of Connecticut. Of the old war horees Senators Sher man nnd Hoar arc ns intlnmto ns men of their caliber possibly can bo. Their long service naturally forms ono bond , but the strongest is that of blood , both being descendants of old Roger Sherman , who has given to the union morb legislators , probably , than any ono man of his direct descendants. Shoup of Idahoand Pottlgrow of South Dakota have n common bond In their western hustling times. Gray of Dela ware and Walthall of Mississippi are rather chummy. AllUon nnil Halo Fraternize. When Senator Halo was charman of a committee nnd had a line room ho never was to found there. If anybyody wanted Senator Halo of Maine the attaches knew that ho was to bo disc < vorcd in Senator Allison's room of the committee on ap propriations. Mr. Halo's room was just as line ns Mr. Allison's ' and the senator had nil the comforts of life nnd many of the luxuries in his own quarters , but then Senator Alll&onof lown was not there , and , ns a llight of stairs intervened between the senate and Mr. Halo's com mittee room , the pair agreed to Hock in Senator Allison'd apartment. They are the soberest and most solemn looking pair of chums in the senate. There are a lot of thorn who have not the attributes of comradeship. Mr. Brice Hocks by himself except when ho finds Mr. Gorman. Senator Stewart joins John Chnmbcrlin and the congenial spirits of the epicurean establishment when lie isn't writing free silver poems and blank verso , and there nro several others , llko Mitchell of Oregon nnd Jones of Nevada , who arc apt to bo in the name locality. The Apollo , Senator Gibson of Mary- Ir.nd , has no need of a chum. Ho is too much in demand with society , nnd when ho has any spare time "Charley Gibson" is good enough company for Senator Gibson. David Bennett Hill was without n Jonathan until Edward Murphy , jr. , of Troy appeared on the horizon , and now the ex-governor is lonely no longer. Most of the now senators haven't had time to cheese their chums , but every man likes Senator Lindsay of Kentucky and his good nature , will make him the privileged friend and the comrade of the entire senate. The individual who can resist Senator Lindsay's sinilo is capable of any deed of darkness. a LOVELY LURING EYES. IVlicro Pally Dances Will Delight Spectators mid Kxlitblt a Grucuofllodlly Movoniciit. Striped shawls nnd a multitudinous variety of bangles distinguish thedaugh- ters of northern Africa. Such was proven to bo the case when the Chicago contingent came to take their place in the exhibit of the Algerian nnd Tunisian villngo on Midway plaisanco. They have no fault to find with nature , those Tuni sians. Dark , lustrous eyes beam from a face of a cop brunette hue. There is u grace of bearing , a dignity about them that commands respect in those who DO- hold it , and a general air of "touch-mo- notishncsa" that is admirable in a high degree. A round dozen of the beauties chal lenged inspection in Chicago yesterday a round dozen of Algeria's crcrno do la crcme. They have been picked from scores and hundreds of Algeria's finest , and the result is a galaxy that yields the palm of beauty to none of the peris of the plaisanco. There is Yamina , as an instance. Ynmina is the danscuxo par excellence of the party , the Ellsler of Algeria. Mr. Bloom , who is in charge of the display and who is fully qualified to testify , avows that Yamina is the most perfect specimen of feminine beauty ever put on view in Chicago. Inspection shows justification for Mr. Bloom's paralyzing assertion , Yamina is a little above woman's middle height , with just enough of Olive in her complexion to make her unusual , but not enough to disfigure her exquisite physiognomy. There is n depth in her dark brown oycs , a depth of intelligence as well as of ordinary , everyday beauty. Yamina talks French like a Parisian , dances like a premiere who has devoted nil her ex istence to stnnding on ono too , nnd oven in her robes of travel distances all com petitors in form and feature. Nothing precludes the possibility of Yamina's marrying nn Italian count or an English duke during the world's fair saving hoi- own sweet will. Then there is Baya of Tunis , who is n shade darker than Yaminn , but who still could pass for a dark brunet. She , too , will prove a cnptivatrix to the wander ing oycs of the multitude in this world's fair year , nnd half n dozen others \yhoso charms will turn their white sisters green with envy. Mr. Bloom's taste in feminine beauty has been most catholic. The specimens ho brought with him squatted on the lloor in a littlo.cirolo yesterday and re sponded "bon jour" in their broken French. In their midst was Ouclui , a cool black nogress. Oucha's uvoirdti- poise is no trilling matter. No casual spectator would take her for a premiere daiiBcuso. But so she is , and Mr. Bloom is authority for the tale that she can deposit her UOO pounds on the boards without causing a quiver in bald-head row. Clinging to the knees of Khatoura , the matron and chaperon of the party , were her two boys , the toys of the party , at the sight of whom Oucha's white teeth showed themselves in ull their fullness. With the women were thirty-eight men yesterday. There are nil sorts und conditions of Algerians in the party. To M. Sillco they all look up as tholr guide , philosopher , und friend. M. Sillco is a merchant in Smyrna , but the glare of the footlights bus blinded him to his commercial pursuits. lie is the Duly of Smyrna the prince of all theatrical malingers. Without hia supervision und countenance the Algerian villngo had boon a gross failure. Ho embodied the confidence of the scheme , and when ho raised his standard in Purls several weeks ago premiers und actresses Hocked to his side in shoals , i Dances will bo of dally occurrence in the Algerian villngo. They will bo of the bonsuul orlontul order , the perform- ortj trusting to tholr own gruco of body movement for attraction rather than to the poetry of motion. Men nnd women will join hands in the performance , nnd a Biimptuoubly adorned theatre is well under way wherein the performance will tnku plnco. In addition to the theatre there is a bazaar of many shops , and a cnfo under Mr. Bloom's particular cnro , where Algoriun cookery will receive a thorough illustration. No restaurant on the fair grounds will bo more exquisitely finished , und ns nn olfshoot tables will bo sot in u garden outside , where visit ors may drink tea nnd cogitate. ICconomy. Whatever else you hoard , says Har per's Bazar , do not Include in the list old medicine bottles. The cost of these when perfectly now is very trilling , nnd the futility of saving them against a pobsiblo errand to the chemist's is very apparent. Nor should tacka taken up when you remove carpets from the lloog for the annual or semi-annual shakin bo put aside for a second ubc. A now paper of tacks should bo used whenever u curpot in rclald. . FREAKS FOR THE BIG FAIR Specimens with Which the Exposition Man- ngemcnt Have Been Hooded , EVERY COUNTRY TOWN HAS A CURIOSITY Whatever In of T.ocnl Fiimo In Various Jlural DlUrlcIn M Considered liy the Owners for Kxlilhltlon Wlilo Mango of UlOccti. "And It will bo exhibited at the World's fair. " That is the usual form for closing n description of some provin cial marvel , or some freak which has filled the eye of Its discoverer with amazement. From ono end of the coun try to the other there have como up to Chicago reports of curious things , or an nouncements concerning them , nnd the people directly in contact with the curi osity have expressed ns their apprecia tion of the wonder-compelling qualities of the thing under discussion that it would bo exhibited at the World's fair , says the Chicago Herald. Perhaps 200 copies of that familiar ro- p-int of the Ulster County Gazette , which contains , among other things , the report of the death of General Washing ton , have been carried up to Chicago and tendered to a busy management as the one thing marvelous for which the coun try has long been looking. Of course the copies are for sale nnd it is ono of the most dilllcult of tasks to mnko the owner believe no ono will give him any money for the curio. Somehow the idea seems to have gone abroad that the World's fair was simply an exhibition of the strnngo nndscurious things that have been cumbering the shelves or crowding the buildings of the rural inhabitant , nnd the ambition of the owner is to bring it to Chicago and exhibit it for the charmed contemplation of the million visitors. Ono day n man climbed into the ele vator at the McNally building nnd nskcd to bo lifted to the director general's room. That officer was too busy to BCO him and ho came back the next day. That time ho conllded to the young man in the outer ollleo that ho had a curi osity for exhibition at the fair , and then ho never had a ghost of a show to got into the inner room. But the clerk didn't tell him much , and so ho came back day after day to see the chief ofil- ccr. After lie had spent a. . week in the city ho got mad and went away. Ho told the clerk at his hotel that ho had a fish with two tails and if the darned Columbian exhibition didn't know a good thing when it saw it ho didn't care. Ho would go homo and ho would take liis marvel with him. Hen With n Unckwarcl Stop. Another man wrote about twenty let ters from Hannibal , Mo. , to say ho had a white Leghorn hen that always walked backwards , and ho wanted to got her a place where she could instruct the pub lic. Another man in lowiv had a Shetland - land pony so small that he had her shoes made from $20 gold pieces , and ho wanted to place her where she could bo seen to the best advantage. A funny thing about it is that in each case the local papers inform their waiting readers that tno thing whatever it may be will bo exhibited at the World's fair. Some "constant reader" or "old sub scriber" of a paper in lower Illinois favored his local editor with n private view of the biggest potato that had ever been raised , and then carefully covered it up from the sight of common men lest ho might not bo able to cinch them into paying a quarter for a view of it at Chicago cage , and made the customary announce ment that ho would como to Chicago with the wonder. Still another Egyp tian paper tolls a waiting world that "Mr. Fitch Bartholamow , the popular and successful farmer of Riploy town ship , has a razor that descended to him from his grandfather. It is believed to have been used by George Washington in Valley Forge , and it will bo taken to the World's fair. " A Bradford , Pa. , paper declares that the heavy steer owned by a certain es teemed citizen , and which has been in the habit of winning first premiums at each county fair for years , will bo shipped to Chicago and exhibited at the great exposition. A Mississippi man , having removed to Kentucky , and hav ing in his possession a billet of wood two feet long in which is imbedded thirty bullets received in the battle of Shlloli , is promised by his local paper a "cordial reception" when ho takes the curio to the World's fair. A Wisconsin weekly paper tolls of a wonderful piece of patclnyork by the wife of ono of "our citizens " and concludes the leading , de scription with the same old story of its destined descent upon Chicago. There is a club-footed boy in Borrien county , Michigan , who can whistle with out opening his month , and ho will "bo exhibited at the World's Columbian ex position. " There is another boy in In diana "who can throw a stone from a sling with such precision as to hit a small mark at a distance of fifty yards , and all without opening his oycs. His father is going to take him to the World's fair. " An old will in n Pennsyl vania county which deprives the public of the court house grounds and vests the title in a family long known as "poorer than skim milk nnd not any too careful of other peoples' firewood" has been found among the effects of a lately de ceased lawyer , and it , too , ia coming to the fair. Gun and Choeso. An old soldier in Kansas has the musket ho carried with him from the beginning of trouble at the sack of Law rence to the surrender of Bragg at Mo bile , Ho writes that ho will take 8100 and a pass to and from Chicago , good for ninety days , for the relic. Ho adds that he knows of lots of people who will llko to see it. There is a machine at Rlpon , Wis. , built by a boy of 12 , which so wonderfully pares and quartora ap ples that it fits no other nloho in cre ation than that afforded by the timely coming of the World's fair. And there la a cheese at Republic , O. , so big that all the neighbors and half the people from Sjncca county will look for it at Chicago. Sometimes the curio rises into the realm of high art. Thrco sisters sang so well nt the closing exercises of u high school in Iowa that they will4 "doubtless bo secured for singing at the World's fair , " if ono may credit the chronicles of a weekly paper from the honored town. An infant prodigy from northern Indiana , a little lad who could rcclto "Thanatopsis" at the ago of 4 , and who la still able to hold even largo audi ences entranced with hia eloquence , though ho la not yet much past 10 years of ago , is confidently expected to adorn the World's fair. Tliero la a picture of Columbua discovering America , painted by a wee girl in the public schoola of Carrollton , 111. , which will bo here if the friends of the youthful artlat have their way. Wheelbarrow * nnd Pumpkin * . Some things nro described with a good deal of particularity , that no point of their excellence may be overlooked. A Nodaway , Mo. , man has made a jack for lifting'wagons while the nxlcs nro in process of grffhl/ng. / It Ifl such n euro filler of long-folUvnutB that It IB offered for exhibition. Another Nodnway county man , flFWTby the spirit of rivalry , has Invented n wheelbarrow "that the bottom will drop out whenever wanted ? " nnd that , loo. l'li ] asserted by the sorely puzzled editor-will bo on hand or rather on the ground. A Knukakeo man , not under ircstrnint , has made a curious decoy Yluck which entices all the water fowl in tho.llnvnna marshes ; nnd ho writes that ho will , if properly en couraged , bring it to Chicago and ex hibit it all summer. Ho doesn't want anything sniil { about It , for his people think ho ought to have bettor terms than thpso lie demands. But if ho can get transbortntlon to nnd from the city , board at olio of the near hotels , ad mission to the grounds and half of the gnto receipts ho will como. And the decoy will como with him. A Kansas man has a new system for burning corn cobs in n common cook stove , nnd ho wants to exhibit that. Jlo writes directly to the national commis sion and will iinvo no "truck" with sub ordinate men ns correspondents. From the snmo county comes n proposition to exhibit n bquush that has lasted two winters "and hasn't n speck on it. " And lots of jnyhnwkcrs , it is assorted , will expect to BOO that symbol of longevity in the Agricultural build ing. A faded Hag , made in 1801 , for the local military company , and which for thirty years has reposed in n bureau drawer at the homo of the donor in Battle tlo Crcoit , Mich. , will bo sent to the fair if guaranty for its return will bo given nnd n good plnco prepared for its proper exhibition. If a man had all the letters received by fair officials from exploiters of thcso nnd kindred freaks ho could start a paper null. And , if in addition , ho had all the newspapers that in the last thrco years have promised fame and fortune through a conjunction of marvel nnd the World's fair if you had nil this , too , you could run that paper mill to the end of timo. As to the letters , not one in a hundred have been answered. But when the projector brings his curio in person some ono has to see him. A careful citi zen came all the way from Paducuh , Ky. , with a garment 400 years old. Ho showed it to several newspaper men and was by them referred to the director general. That was their way of getting oven at ono grand stroke with both bore and official. The man ux pooled to sco his garment described in full in all the Sunday papers , und was grieved when none of them said anything about it , for ho knew many people would bo inter ested in that sort of thing. But , as a last resort , ho went to the director gen eral ; and if ho didn't make a trade with him there is now on the way to Paducah a very much surprised and grieved and withal respectable old gentleman. lllblo that Sunlvcd Fire. There is no system in the letters , and system cannot well bo followed in writ ing about them. Ono describes a bible which went through a fire ' 'whoro every thing else in'thehouso was consumed and it left lying unharmed on the parlor table. " The next tenders the services of a "lucky stone" that was never , known to fall. Nine months ago the Fourth of July oration of a speaker in Clay county , Indiana , was promised a place in the exposition - position , and soinoAvhcro near it may bo expected the recipe for making vinegar which has proved so popular in Dodge county , Wisconsim A printer down in Missouri has , setf "thrco columns of leaded long primer in n day , " and his employer is sodolighted _ with him that lie bespeaks fdr hi $ speedy compositor "a place and a chance to show himself in the World's fairJJ , Some country editors catch the humor of the craze. An Iowa county auditor , who made a mistake in his figures , dis covered ithimbolf and made good the loss to the public , is promised by his local paper a sure place in the World's fair. The Mankato woman who stopped Jed Brookor when ho got on u whirl is con sidered worthy a place in the exposition. A delinquent subscriber to an Indiana paper , who'has lied about paying up till the editor got out of patience , is pub lished as the biggest prevaricator in the world , and urged for a place in some competitive examination at the World's fair. A railroad engineer who knocked a calf off the track with force enough to kill its mother is spoken of by a Roodhouso paper as a fit candidate foV honors. And a gravel road contractor who promises to finish a highway be tween two Iowa towns by the Fourth of July is pledged a section for self-exhi bition nt the fair if ho keeps his word. The man who could gather together the things that have DOCII offered for public view nt the fair would have u col lection of freaks bigger at least than any harbored in ull the dime museums of the country. But as the fair is to be a show of quite a difi'ercnt character , all those marvels will doubtless bo left with out the gates. TREASURE tTNEARTHED. The Loot of 1'IrntoH Found on a Texas Island. For several weeks a party of workmen , under Henry Shannon , a Quintala mer chant , and Charles Newman , a coast trader , have been searching on Padre Island , Tex. , for a treasure , said to have been buried there moro than a genera tion ago by smugglers , slavers or pirates. Mr. Solomon Ciovoland , a prominent citizen of Volasco , returned from Padre Island and reports the searchers much encouraged by finding a number of ancient foreign coins and medals of un known value at a spot marked upon an old parchment chart that is said to have recently come , by accident , into the pos session of Shannon and Newman. The party is now engaged in locating the other places marked on the map. This .is very dilllcult to do because of the con stantly shifting sands on the Island , and the cutting oil or adding to the banks by the action of the sea currents , > About eighteen or twenty years ago an old sheep border on the Island stumbled upon a cache of several hundred gold coins and took them to avillacroon ; the Rio Grande , where ho was robbed and mor tally wounded by Mexican bandits. When found ho > barely had life enough loft to toll of his loss and express regret at not being ubfqo return to the Island f where ho bald lie , loft a wagon load o' silver bars ana money that ho intended removing as soon ins ho could got a cart. Since then many individuals and parties have prospected there without success , but the present haunters nro convinced that their newly discovered chart will lead them to fortunes. Mr. Cleveland bays all the ooina and medals1 ho saw were made boween 1000 und 1780. The workers are keeping their movements as secret as possible , and had been away from Volusco boveral weeks before any one knew where they were , and they were not much pleased to sco Mr. Cleve land , who was on the island on business and mot thorn by chance. Busy people have no time , and sensible people hayo no Inclination to use pills that inako them sick n day for every dose thev take.
