Chaplain Milburn Tells Some History of

MET MANY FAMOUS MF.N IN WASHINGTON
Tnkuii Olt nn Olilo nlver Stcnmliont
to Do Made Chaplain of a Ciiu-
Krc s AVlioie Member * Slinno
National Ic Uiiy.
Hev. W. II. Milburn , the blind chaplain
of the United States senate , who was In the
city last week and delivered a lecture on
"What a Blind Man Saw In England , " has
a store ot Interesting anecdotes concerning
the prominent men whom he has met during
his lifetime's work In Washington. Ho has
known personally more presidents than any
other living man , and bin wonderful mem
ory enables him to recount Incidents that
happened In the nation's capital years ago
with vividness of detail that makes tha
htufor almost believe that they occurred
but yetterday. During his stay In Omaha
be was requested to give a few of bis many
reminiscences for the benefit of the read
ers ot The Bee. This la what be Bald :
"In November , 1815 , I happened to preach
a sermon on an Ohio river steamer which
engaged the Interest of a good many sona-
ators and members of congress from the
west and southwest on theli4 way to Wash
ington for tbo beginning of the Twenty-
ninth congress , which convened at the first
of December of that year. They were so far
Interested as to secure my election by the
house of representatives as chaplain for that
congress. I was a llttlo over 22 years of
ago and at the beginning of my third year
In the ministry , and had been sent by the
Illinois conference , of which I was a mem
ber , to lay our educational needs before the
people ot the east , and was , therefore , the
youngest man that has ever opened
his mouth in the American cap-
itol. In those daya wo were chaplains of
congress , ofllclatlnc In ono house as much
as In the other , so that I was brought Into
as close relation with the senators as with
the representatives. It was a brilliant world
one full of Instruction and Inspiration for
a boy who had grown up In the prairies and
groves ot the far west as Illinois then was.
: \niue * KIIIMVII In IlUtory.
"In the eonate were Mr. Webster and Mr.
Calhoun , Colonel Benton of Missouri , then
the farthest western state , the Clayton
brothers ot Delaware , Honest John Davis of
Massachusetts , Mr. Crtttendcn ot Kentucky
happened to bo brought Into intimate rela
tion with an old minister of our Methodist
church , Rev. Thomas Johnson , who had for
many years been a missionary among the
Indians ot Kansas and Nebraska. He was
sent by the people of tbo western country
as a delegate to congress to urge the or
ganization ot a territory on the upper
waters , as they were then thought to bo of
the Missouri river. Thus the attention ot
the country was for the first tlmo directed
to what are now the great elates of Ne
braska and Kansas , which thqn occupied a
place on the maps of the day as a part of
the great American desert and supposed to
be thetracklees home of the Indian and bU
buffalo , and It was predicted that they would
remain so far Into the next century.
Stephen A. Douglas had been translated from
the bouse ot representatives to the senate
and was chairman of Us committee on ter
ritories. He drafted a bill organizing the
territories of Kansas and Nebraska , repeal
ing tbo Missouri compromise of 1820 and
adopting the doctrine of 'squatter
boverelgnty , ' as It was called. A tidal wave
had brought Into the house of repre
sentatives a great number of 'know noth
ings' chiefly from the north and east , but
the democracy still had a majority In both
houses , and Judge Dougla ' bill was passed ,
but only after a meet vigorous and deter *
mined resistance.
"The great light of the senate of my first
congress had passed away and a group of
new men bad come to the front. Franklin
Pierce of Now Hampshire was the occupant
of the White House , Colonel William U.
King of Alabama , an old senator and form
erly our representative at Paris , had been
elected as vice president , with Mr. Pierce ,
but , dying before he could toke his seat , his
chair In the senate was filled by Mr. AtchIson -
Ison of Missouri , who acted as vice president
during that term ,
"Governor Seward of New York , Fessen-
den of Maine , Charles Sumner of Massa
chusetts and Salmon B. Chase of Ohio were
among the now men that had come Into
the senate and who ltd the desperate flsbt
against Judge Douglas' Nebraska bill. This
was the birth of the republican party , markIng -
Ing an era In our history , so that Nebraska
stands Intimately related , although then de
clared to be a. desert , with one of the
most Important events In our annals. No
prophet was then gifted with prescience to
foresee the great state which holds Its re
splendent position amidst tha starry group
of our flag , or to forecast the great clly
ot Omaha that has risen on the bank of the
Missouri , which today Is yet moro Illus
trious because of the spacious and stately
halls and domes of the Transmlsslsslppl ex
position , ono of the triumphs of the cen
tury , nenowned as has been the achieve

"I served my second congresH , the Thirty-
third , and left Washington In March , 1855.
The late John Sherman of Ohio and Senator
Morrell of Vermont entered the house af
representatives the following December.
They are called the fathers of congress ,
but as I served ten years before they en *
tered I must bo the grandfather. After an
absence of thirty years , during which I trav
eled a million miles or more , by sea and
land , In this country and In England , I was
again elected chaplain In 1885 , and have held
the position ever since. "

When the lord mayor of London received
the delegates to tbo world's Sunday school
convention Ilev. L. I ) . Maxwell , a negro
Congregational minister , was presented an
from South Carolina. Tbo mayor hesitated
a moment , then asked ; "Do you speak
English ? " "I generally do , " replied Mr.
Maxwell , as be passed on.
It was an Ayrshire parson , and Into the
customary prayer for the royalties he had
Introduced a feeling reference K > the acci
dent which bad befallen the prince of
Walfes. "And now , brethren , " continued
the unwitting cleric , "we will Join In sing
ing hymn No. so-and-so , 'Courage brother ,
Do Not Stumble. ' " The congregation saw
the joke , though the minister did not.
A scripture examination was being held
recently In an English school , the lesson
being Elijah offering up a sacrifice on
Mount Carmel.
As the children looked llko good scholars ,
the Inspector gave them a question , saying ;
"Now , you have told mo that Elijah put
the bullock on tbo attar. Why did ho put
water round the altar ? "
The children looked amazed , except on *
lltflo boy , who stood up and said :
"Please , sir , to make the gravy. "
A Mulno man -who recently experienced
religion now cocs about the state preach
ing for the reformation of sinners , and tha
other day ho was announced to deliver n
sermon In a school house In the town of
Wayne , the homo of the gunmnklng Maxims.
When ho got to the school house there was
only ono man In tbo building. After wait-
Ins a while for the crowd to appear tha
evangelist declared to the audience of ODD
that ho should co on and preach Just tha
same as If the roam were crowded. So b *
did preach for about an hour and a half , and
at the close be asked tbo lone llbtencr to
lead In prayer. The man looked puzzled ,
and then , fishing out a little slate , wrotei
"I am deaf and dumb and haven't heard ( ,
blank word you said. "
