Mr. Garland wns n man of mnny eccen tricities , and , like Representative Bailey of Toxns , habitually re-fused to wenr a. dress coat. When lie went Into the cabinet , re lates the Chicago Record , hu made It a con dition tbnt he should not be required to participate In nny social function , nnd the pleilRO was kept. During the four years that he was attorney general ho never ap peared at any of the odlclal entertainments , nor during tils entire life In Washington did he ever accept or offer formal hospitality. While he often dropped in to dinner with a. neighbor or asked a friend to go home and , ake potluck nlth him , he abliorcd conven- : lonalltles , and an engraved or written Invl- : atlon was always declined , no matter whit , t was for or from whom It came , He used to say that Ills Idea of hospitality was a cob pipe and a jug of whisky. He took the ? round that no true democrat ever took Iquor out ofn bottle ; but'curiously enough. bo wa-s a total abstainer from all spirituous and malt llrjuors. When somebody askud him how he could cultivate a habit so tulicli at variance with Ills principles he replied ; "I used to drink as regularly and as fre quently as any one , but ono dav while walkIng - Ing through the cemetery at Little Hock 1 saw the new-made giave of n bright man who had been my friend from boyhood. I suddenly realized what brought him there , and I remembered that several others of our age had gone before from the same cause. Well. It occurred to me that I had drunk quite as much liquor as they nnd that I had had my share. " Another of the attorney general's pecul iarities was an Intense hatred of doctors. He used to say that until he broke his leg ho bad never paid n doctor's bill or spent a cent for medicine for himself ; that the medical profession was a humbug ; that no man was 111 unless he abused himself , and that he could bo cured hy correcting that abuse. But while he wag attorney general ho was afflicted by a swelling of the Jaws. He got a notion that he had been poisoned In some manner and his associates per suaded him to go to a doctor. The physi cian looked him over and remarked : 'There Is nothing serious the matter with you. You have only a mild case of mumps. " "II , mumps ! " exclaimed Mr. Garland In a rage ; "I'll be blanked If you know the difference between mumps nnd cholera In- fantum. " Ho stamped out of tbe office In indigna tion , but by the advice of friends remained In the house two or three days to avoid catching cold until -the swelling had gone down. Mr. Garland was very fond of practical Jokes and during his term of service In the senate frequently turned the laugh on his colleagues , Senators Voorhees and Vest , with whom howas very friendly , flnaliy deter mined to turn the tables. Mr. Garland had a habit like Vcorhees of munching candy , and Vest and Voorhees made It up between them to take advantage of his fondness for sweets to play their trick. They had some tempting looking chocolate caramels pre pared , with the interior illled with brown soap. These they took to the senate cham ber and Voorhees placed them on his desk. The lid being off when iMr. Garland saunt ered down the aisle , ho noticed them al once. "What have you there , Dan ? " he inquired. Voorhees looked up carelessly from his writing and responded , "Caramels ; help yourself. " Garland needed no second Invitation , and picking up two or three placed one In his mouth. Steadily ho chewed away , his faca betraying no sign of the conflict within him. This alarmed Voorhees , who went to Vest's desk and said : "He's eating them. Vest. What shall we do ? The stuff will kill him , sure. " Senator Vest replied that It could do no moro thnn make him elck. Garland swal lowed the stuff , although ho was foaming at the mouth from the soapsuds. He related the Incident afterward with great gusto and said that he would have swallowed It If It had killed him. Mr. Garland once related Iiow , while a member of the confederate senate ho nnd another senator who lived nt thoenmo board ing house thought they would present their landlady with a fine f.it turkey. Having Just drawn n month's pay , they started to market with their pockcta bulging with money , all confederate'notes. . They selected the fattest and most tempting turkey they could nnd and , to their great dismay , found when they came to pay for It that their combined salaries for tlio month were not sutllcicnt to meet the price of the turkey. They compromised by spending the salaries In the purchase of n drink. Later on , when the senate was compelled to take refuge In swamps nnd other places , where It finally disbanded , Mr. Garland found himself with out n penny. In company with a follow senator , they walked to the Mississippi river , securing food as best they could , They Induced a friendly negro to row thorn ncrcas the river , and then walked to Llttlo Rock. Mr. Garland said he was formerly troubled with dyspepsia but after that walk It disappeared and never bothered him again. The late David Davis , while In the senate , 0 was greatly Interested In the bill for the establishment of the court ot appeals. He placed the bill in charge of Senator Garland who was to call It up on n certain day. When tha time camu Senator Allison had a meas ure for which he desired prompt considera tion. Ho approached Mr. Garland and sug gested that ho permit him to call up his bill first. "I could not think of it , " replied Mr. Gar land. "Tho old man would be mad , " "Suppose ho consents , " asked Mr. Allison , "Then Its is all right. " said Garland , Snmitor Allison teen sauntered toward the dais on which Ju.lgo Davis sat. Climbing the steps he exchanged a few words wltn Mr. David and receiving u aotf in reply he re sumed his seat. Later he approached Mr Garland and said : "It's all right ; the old man says I car 11 have the right of way. " Mr. Garland cheerfully assented , but sue- piclous of a trick , ho took advantage of c I mtmoiit when Senator Allison was out of the chamber to see Judge Davis himself. r "Judge , " ho said , "Allison says yoi agreed to let his bill come up first. " Judge Davis loukcd at him a moment ant I replied : "Well , Garland , you know Alllsor t ! lias as little regard for the truth as yen have. " t'otilVr.M - lu Florlilu. JACKSONVILLE. Fla. , Feb. 9.

ICccnuti PROVIDENCE , U. L , Feb. ft. The great question of the continued control of racing by the Lcnguo of American Wheelmen came very nearly being settled In short order and without debate nt the meeting today. Only an net of courtesy on the part of ono or two delegates who are trongly opposed lo the giving up ot racing allowed the mat ter to stand nnd gave the advocates of the propwol amendment to the constitution &n opportunity to discuss the matter , which they wlU do In the morning. The regular routine work of the assembly passed oft with rcmnrkablo smoothness , with only a short debate on some of the reports and no contest whatever on the ot- cers , BO that it WAS. not until late In the day that the spirit for debate became mani fest In the discussion over the next assembly place. It took nearly two hours to decide thd matter , as avery pretty three-cornered fight developed between Jacksonville , Fla. , niiladelphln nnd Detroit. The assembly , low-ever , decided to seek a warmer cllmo next year and chose Jacksonville. Then came suddenly upon the meeting ho racing question , nnd before three qunr- ers of Uioso present realized It the previous question on the motion to reject the amend ments had been mode and carried and the tide-gates were brought faca to face with lin main question , wlUiout hearing a single speech for or against racing. The advo cates of the amendments pleaded hard for delay and a chance to debate , nnd after n hile , notwithstanding their superiority in numbers nnd the certainty of ultimate vlc- 'ory , Uio opponents yielded and to.norrow ho League will spend the day In discussing .bo matter. There Is not the slightest doubt that the eague will have charge of the racing next ear , for all the opponents of the new mendmcnts have to gather seventy-four i-otes and today's meeting , with the west olid In favor of racing , shows that there ro nearly ninety negative votes , which leaves he- advocates considerably less than the equlslte two-thirds. The result of the election of new officers aused great satisfaction and the new pres- dcnt , Mr. Keenan , showed much ability In handling the convention during the stormy discussion of the afternoon. Sterling El- 'tott will have charge of tne debate on the Ido of the amendments and C.V. . Mears if Ohio and E. VnnValkenburg of Wisconsin ivlll lead the opposition. The report of the treasurer , James O. Tattersall , showed the league to be on a flrm financial basis. The report of the committee on rights and privileges in contested elections was the first one ot the Important matters 'before he assembly. The case was that of A , K. Peck , who protested against the recent elec tion of the state officers in Massachusetts. The committee found that while the count- ng was Improperly conducted and the check- ag was irregular , the result as declared should be allowed to stand as it would have been the same under other conditions. The committee found no evidence of raud. The report led to a sharp discussion , mil by an overwhelming vote the assembly adopted the report and the officers of Massa chusetts as declared elected will continue In effect. Otto Dorncr's report , as chairman of the liighway Improvement committee , Chairman Mott's repoit of 'the work on. the racing board and the report of the committee of ocal organization were presented In order. The report of the auditing committee was then discussed and a recommendation that the reading board In the future keep Its books In a business-like way was adopted with only slight opposition. fict Ioi % n to OBlfprH * Election. The- first business of the assembly in the afternoon was the consideration of the report of the executive committee on the question of turning over the control of racing to some other body. The committee reported that It was of the opinion that no other body or organization existed In this country , In whose hands the control of racing could be best controlled at this time and the commit tee recommended that no transfer be made. There were only a few votes In opposi tion to the adoption of the report of the committee. The annual election of officers followed. W. J. VanValkcnburg of Milwaukee nomi nated Thomas J. Keenan of Plttsburg for president. The nomination was seconded by Chief Consuls Doyle of Pennsylvania , KIrekes of New Jersey and Elliott of Massa chusetts. Mr. Keenan was elected by a unanimous vote. Ho made a short speech In which ho thanked the assembly for the honor and said tbo furtherance of the Interests ot the league would bo his only purpose. Herbert 'W. ' Koultz of New Jersey was unanimously elected first vice president. Robert T. Klnsbury of New Hampshire was made unanimous choice for second vice president. The same proceedings were carried through In the re-election ot James W. Tat- tersnll as treasurer and In the election of an auditing committee , consisting of How ard L. Perkins of Portland. Thomas M. SUIles of Maryland nnd William M. Small of Portland , Me. The first real contest came on the ques tion of selecting a place for the next gen eral assembly. The claims of Detroit and Jacksonville nnd Philadelphia wcro pre sented. Mr , Potter favored leaving the se lection to the executive committee. A warm discussion followed mid an at tempt to place the matter In the hands of the executive committee recommending that Jacksonville bo favored by the committee , waa voted down ns was the plain motion to let the executive committee make the selec tion. There was a long wrangle nnd finally by a proxy vote Jacksonville won. If satisfactory arrangements cannot bo madu the executive committee Is authorized ta change the place. ' Controversy Cut Off , At 5:30 : the convention slotted to con sider the all-Important question of divorcing racing from the league , Hefore the advo cated of the amendments to the constitu tion lo that effect realized the situation theli opponents had made nnd carried the pre vious question , which cut off all contro versy. Sterling Klllott then rose on a question ol privilege and pleaded that the assembly bad not had a chance to debate the question at all and that It was a trick to get tb'u vote without hearing both sides. There was a sharp contest for half an hour , bul at length the advocates of league racing , feeling themselves strongly In the major ity , asked and obtained a recousideratioi : of the vote on the previous Question , I' ' was then agreed that the matter should be taken up In the morning and the leaden cf both sides , Sterling Elliott and C. F Moarswere Instructed to arrange tbe Urns limit of the debate The contest was decidedly sharp while Ii lasted , with the Now York delegation standIng - Ing by Miuaactiuscttg on all questions ant nn exciting time was looked for.
