WASHINGTON LETTER
-How the Government Is Bunkoed on Itt
Very High triced Ait "Work-The
Correspondents' Train.
Special Correspondence.
The fuss.that is being made over the
acceptance of the de&gja of tCarl Rohl
Smith for the Sherman statue may call
public attention to the many scandals
which have marked the purchase of art
works for the government. In this case
Sculptor Smith was ruled out of the
final competition for the prize by the
committee of artists asked to make se
lections from the first designs submitted,
and the committee having the expend
iture of the money in charge quietly
overruled the decision of the artists and
substituted the name of Smith, for that
of Mr. Partridge. It was a" foregone
conclusion then that the design presented
by Smith in the final competition would
be accepted. The committee did not de
liberate very long over tine question, but
designated Smith as the sculptor of the
Sherman statue. The design presented
by Smith, artists say, can be produced
for about one-fourth the amount to be
expended, and there are evidences of a
Senegambian in the pile of wood.
Whether he will be brought to light bv
the protesting artists who are holding
indignation meetings in New York and
elsewhere is very doubtful. There is no
one with authority to review the deci
sion of the committee, for, while it has
representatives from the war depart
ment, it is a committee of the Society
of the Army of the Tennessee.
The same favoritism has always been
shown in the purchase of so called works
of art for the government, and as a re
sult the public places of Washington are
defaced with as curious an aggregation
of misfit pictures and statues as can be
found anywhere in the world. One of
the curiosities of this collection is a six
toed Indian maiden pictured in a group
in the rotunda of the capitol.
The artists who have got commissions
from congress are the men who have
been successful lobbyists. One of them
got a commission to paint an historical
group for the capitol for which he re
ceived a sum far in excess of its value
as a work of art. When it had been
completed and in place for a year, he
concluded that he could get a little more
money out of congress ; so he returned
to the capitol and presented a petition
for several -thousand dollars additional.
He was as successful in lobbying this ap
propriation through as he had been with
the first. This happened a good many
years ago. A more modern instance of

" Speaking of experiences, ' ' remarked
in old engineer to a reporter, "have I
four permission to narrate a little one
that happened to me during my first year
a an engine?
3ot only my permission, " responded
ibe-generous reporter, "but my impera
tive command and an invitation to take
lomething while you are about it. "
The preliminaries being satisfactorily
arranged, the engineer proceeded with.
his story.
It was 25 years ago," he said, "and
I was a fireman on a road in New York
State. The engineer I fired for was. or
rather had been, one of the best on the
road, but he had been turned over and
steamed under a locomotive boiler in a
wreck and after that he was given a less
important train. Not so much because
he was any the less good as an engineer,
but because officials have an jdea that
it takes a man's nerve away when a
serious accident happens to him. We
had a run of about 75 miles each way
and on Sundays in summer we carried
excursions.
We had never had any trouble, but
for a month before the experience I am
telling my engineer had been in a bad
temper and acted as ugly as the mis
chief. I reported the matter to the di
vision superintendent and he told me to
stick it out for a month or so longer, as
they proposed to relieve the old man
and put him at work in the shops. Two
Sundays after that we were returning
in the evening about 9 o'clock, behind
time, owing to delays occasioned by
washouts causing us to run slow and
cautious. We had 20 miles to go and it
was over the WQrst part of the road and
I was watching out of the cab, when all
at once the engineer gave a shout and
made a grab at me. His eyes were blaz
ing, and I could see in a second that he
was either drunk or crazy.
"How I got away from him I don't
know, for he did his best to throw me
off the cab, but I got away and climbed
up on the wood piled up on the tender.
He didn't follow, but turned at once to
the throttle and threw it wide open. I
knew what that meant with six coaches
full of people behind us and a bad track,
and the first thing I did was to try to
knock him out with a stick of wood. I
missed my throw and he came after me
with a heavy iron bar and I went over
the rear of the tender on to the platform
of the car next to us. By this time we
were fairly jumping over the track, and
I was so rattled that I didn't know
what to do.
"In a second, though, I gathered my
self up and uncoupled the train from the
How the Policemen Fooled Pearson- Re
fused to Treat and Wu Elect
ed Muaio at Meals.
One of Roosevelt's many funny ex
periences with New York policemen re
calls a story often told on Inspector
Pearson, whose noiseless galoshes were
for so long the terror of Washington
"cops." It was about 12 years ago,
while walking in one of the streets of
Georgetown, that Inspector Pearson
came upon two police officers sitting on
the doorstep of a private residence ob
livious to the goings on in their respect
ive beats. Pearson quietly took the
number of the house and had the delin
quents hauled, before the trial board' for
neglect of duty. Odinarily there would
have been little hope for men in their
position, but they were resourceful
With the consent of the occupants they
employed a carpenter to remove the
steps from the house and place them in
front of the next residence. Then as a
defense they merely stated that there
were no steps in front of the house
where the inspector declared he had
seen them sitting. The trial board, very
mnch interested in such a line of de
fense, visited the place in a body, found
that the officers' statement was true,
and dismissed the case, to the great sur
prise of Inspector Pearson. Some years
afterward the latter heard of the trick
and declared it the best that had ever
been played on him. Washington Post
this favoritism is the awarding of
commission very recently for a bust of locomotive, which was not so hard to

John O. Breckinridge for the senate
chamber which has been given to James
P. Voorhees, the sen of the senator from
Indiana, by the committee on library,
of which his father is a member. Young
Voorhees is a weird protean genius who
has been at various times a claimant of
public nqtice as a sculptor, an actor and
an author, and who draws a government
salary now as clerk to his father's com
mittee." He is hot recognized as an artist
and the struggling artists of Washing
ton and this city is becoming a "home
of art" year by year are naturally dis
couragd by this favoritism which has so
little consideration for merit. It has
been suggested more than once that con
gress appoint an art commission to pass
on all works of painting or sculpture.
Members of congress in great number
are going to the St. Louis convention
and as many more will go to the con
vention at Chicago. Four years ago con
gress was in session when the conven
tions met and the news from Minneapo
lis and Chicago was received on the
floor of house and senate. The business
of congress was virtually suspended be
cause the interest in the aff airS of the
conventions was so great that no one
had heart for anything else. And be
sides there were so few Washington cor
respondents present that there was little
use doing anything. If it were not for the

fewer speeches made and more business
would be transacted in a shorter space
of time.
The correspondents are going to St.
Louis in style. They always do, because,
for reasons known to themselves, the
railroads find nothing too good for the
correspondents in this city. The Penn
sylvania road always makes up a special
convention train for the corps of corre
spondents. It is a train of sleeping cars
with a dining car attached, and each
correspondent has a section to himself.

do, as we were on a down grade and the
engine was bouncing so that the coup
ling pin swung loose at intervals. Then
I slapped on the brake there and went
through the train as fast as I could,
telling brakemen and conductor to slow
up, and do it quick. Jur part or trie
train being stopped, we got out to see
where the engine had gone, but we could
see nothing. Putting a man with a light
on the track a mile behind us to stop the
next train, the conductor and I went
ahead to find what had become of the
runaway.
"Two miles away, or two minutes at
the rate he was going, we found the
engine in the ditch and the engineer
buried under it The engine had struck
a soft place and spread the rails any
body knows what that means and
think what the result would have been
to a trainload of passengers going after
that engine at 60 miles an hour! It al
most made my hair gray to think about
it, and when the people on the train
heard the story they made up a purse
for me that almost made it curl, and I
concluded that it was an ill wind indeed
which blew no good." Washington

Refused to Treat and Wu Elected.
"I was elected to my present office, "
said R. C. Arnold of Winston, Ala., at
the National, who is now serving his
second term as alderman, "because I
would not buy a jug of liquor. The con
test was a very close one, but I thought
my election was assured, when twe
nights before the voting was to be done
a delegation came to me and wanted
money with which to buy a couple of
gallons of whisky. I refused to give it
and the next day my friends told me
that my opponent had furnished four
gallons and 80 men who had been relied
upon to support me had gone on a picnic
and had agreed to vote for the other
man. This I knew would defeat me, and
after carefully polling my strength, a
comparatively easy matter in a com
munity where every voter is known, I
concluded that the liquor had settled it
against me. Election day came and not
a man who went on the picnic returned.
The polls closed and I was elected by
ten votes. We subsequently learned that
the crowd had got drunk and been ar
rested, keeping them away from town.
Had I given the liquor my friends would
have gone and those of my opponent re
mained at home." Washington Star.

A Joke on the 2Iiaistr.
"A good many stories have been told
of the ease with which petitions are cir
culated," remarked A. B. Carlton of
Indianapolis at The Cochran, "but the
best instance I ever heard of was in an
Ohio town. A popular minister there
was induced to head what he thought
was a petition for a charitable purpose,
and on the strength of his signature the
name of almost every reputable citizen
of the place was signed to the document.
It was then presented to the county
court, and, being in regular form, pass
ed, as a matter of course, without any
attention being paid to it, and the first
intimation the minister had that a joke
had been perpetrated was when he re
ceived notice that his application fur li
cense to keep a saloon had been granted
and would be issuedas soon as payment
therefore had been made. At first the
minister and his friends were indignant.
but soon appreciated the joke, and it
furnished the preacher with a text on
the carelessness in signing such peti
tions. " Washington Star.

Gibbet Always Beady In Indian Territory
'"There is an increasing amount of
pardon business coming to the president's
desk, and he often has many cases wait
ing his action, ' ' writes General Harrison
in Ladies' Home Journal. "Offenses
against the postal laws, revenue laws and
national banking laws make up the bulk
of this business ; but cases of murder
from the territories and the District of
Columbia are quite frequent. The In
dian Territory has been the abode of
lawlessness, and 'crimes against human
life have been very common. Until re
cently crimes committed by or against
white men in that territory were triable
mainly in the United States court for
the western district of Arkansas, at Fort
Smith, and Judge Parker of that dis
trict has probably sentenced as many
men to death as all ithe other United
States iudses combined. I am told that
the gibbet is never taken down. "
On the Mississippi.
This country, to people who have not
looked into the matter, does not figure
as a large owner of floating property
outside of war vessels and those attached
to the revenue and lighthouse service,
but a recent careful estimate shows that
on one part of the Mississippi river the
nation owns over 1, 000 craft of different
kinds. That is the stretch between New
Orleans and Cairo, and the value of the
vessels ajid their outfit for riprap, revet
ment and levee work does not fall much
below $6,000,000. When the work is
rushing, there are at least 10,000 men
employed pn the vessels and in connec
tion with the tasks assigned them. Ex

ruined and his appetite entirely destroy
ed by the necessity of being compelled
to eat in seven restaurants out of ten in
that city to the accompaniment of mu

Judge Charles Levi Woodbury, when an
orchestra was introduced by a former
management'in the Parker house dining
room where Judge Woodbury has dined
since the time when the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. Tho or
chestra was sending forth its sweet
strains when the waiter at Judge Wood
bury's table asked him what he would
have for dinner. The judge looked up
in the direction of the orchestra and
said:
"Bring me a broiled fiddler. "
It wasn't long after this episode that
the orchestra was permanently dispensed
with. Boston Herald.
