The New Senate Poorer in none; Than Formlery. The only very rich man among the new senators is A. C. Beck wit h of Wyoming. His wealth is estimated all the wav from $500,000 to $1.000,000,"deri ved Irom coal mines and banking. Next to him in point of means comes Murphy of New York, who has accumulated at least $250,000 in the brewing busi ness. Notwithstanding the ac quisition of these fortunes, the upper house as a body is not half so well olTin money a3 it was during Mr. Cleveland's first administration. Three ot the greatest captalists in the world have dropped out of it since then. Hearst of California, who died two years ago, was worth $25,000,000. When Stanford first escorted him down the mid dle aisle of the Senate to be sworn, it was remarked that those two individuals could buy out all the rest of the Senate if they wanted to. Payne ol Ohio, the Oil magnate, has retired with his $15,000,000 from service, and the term of Uncle Philetus Sawver of Oshkosh. Wis., came to an end March 4 of this Year. The beginning of the $22,000,- 000 which he has got together was $1,000 lent to him by his brother when he was a young ster. H avion rolled this small nucleus into a huge financial snowball by investments in tim ber lands, he paid back the loan with $9 interest for every $1 borrowed. Two other men of millions Farwell of Illinois and Palmer of Michigan have left the Senate since Cleveland's first term. The onlv great fortunes which have come into it meanwhile are those of Calvin S. Brice, who has made about $500,000 by specu lation in railway and oil stock, and Thomas C. Power of Mon tana. The latter is worth at least $1,500,000. He owns rail ways and steamship lines as well as trading houses all along the Montana border. The Thomas C. Power Cattle Company is one of the biggest enterprises of that kind in the West. All things considered, the up per house is much poorer than it used to be. though there are still a number of millionaires in it. Stanford of California, though he has given $6,000,000 to his university, must have at least $15,000,000. Don Cameron mav be set down at $2,500,000 His money was inherited. Eu gene Hale of Maine has $2,000.- 000. He got most of it with his wife. John Sherman's means are not overestimated at $1,000,- 000. He has been very fortu nate in land speculations, and he has invested largely in real es- tate in Washington. William . - m E. Chandler of New Hampshire has accumulated $7o0,000 by manufacturing wool and by lucky speculations. Carey of Wyoming and Teller of Colora do eacb possess about $JOO,UUU. Jones of Nevada is a very pictur esque figure financially, having made and lost more fortunes than any other man in the Unit ed States. He still owns one- twelfth of the great Comstock lode and is probably worth $1,- 500,000 to-day. Mining speculations are extra hazatdous. Senator Jones col league, Stewart, had $3,000,000 at one time. It was then that he built that monstrosity o architecture called Stewart Cas tie on Duoont circle, now oc cupied by the Chinese legation Probably his wealth amounts to . .. r . . r more than a small iraction o that much now. Washburn, the Minnesota miller, has been great gambler in land. Two vears a fro he was reduced to comparative poverty ; at pre sen he is probably worth. $750,000 The richest member of the House of Representatives is John L. Mitchell, of Wisconsin. His pos sessions will foot up at lease $1, 000,000. most of which he in herited from his father, who was the great financer and railway organizer of that part of the country a generation ago. The son is president of a gas com pany and of a bank in Milwau . kee. Not many of our represen tatives in Congress are rich men. Thomas B. Reed is very well off, ii L. U 1 1l.. Before he was chosen speaker he I kept house, but since that time I he has lived at Lev! P. Morton's great hostelry on Fifteenth street, the "Shorehaou" Speaker Crap be behaved himself, the Oovern outs un at the Metropolitan lor of North Carolina took it in- Hotel. Mr. Carlisle has until I recently lived at one hotel or another since he first took up his residence in Washington. The I late Samuel J. Randall dwelt in a little house vvhich his wife owned on C. street southeast, Chairman Springer of the ways and means committee occupies a small rented nouse on a street northeast. These locations, though conveniently near the Capitol, are very unfashionable, Dio&Iev and BoutcIIe of Maine and Burrows of Michigan board at hotels. Four-fifths of the re presentatives board. Much that is said about the difficulty which congressmen find in living here on their salaries of $5,000 a year is not well found- ed in fact. A score of represen- tatives could be meutioned off! hand each of whom save from $2,000 to $3,000 annually out of his pay. Terry Simpson of Kansas and the ecentnc Martin of Texas, who is alleged to have blown out the gas at a hotel when he first came to Washing- ton, have been among the most economical among recent bers of the House. Many of - - them occupy single bed-rooms, dress shabbily and live in no re-1 spect better than the average I department clerk. There are I plenty ot boarding houses where meals and lodging can be got at low prices, 'rom $18 to $35 a month. W ashington has been widely advertised as a very ex- pensive place to dwell in. It is not so at all, if one chooses to be saving. For $500 a year one can rent a nice little house near the Capitol : a servant can be got for $10 a month, and the markets are not high. If a congressman must have a une nouse in tne lasmonaDie quarter of the town and enter-lever, tain liberally. $5,000 will not go verv far. The same orooosition would aunlv anvwhere else. One trouble with the new member is that he does not know whether be is going to hold office two years or twenty. For furnished dwellings an absurdly high ren - tal is demanded. Many legisla - tors of the nation save by leav - in er their families at home. Out of three hundred and thirty-odd members ana delegates in tne House dnrine the last session, only 99 bad wives with them, a On'the other hand, more than half of the senators were accom- panied by their wives, and they had 27 daughters with them in addition.

An exchange says : sensible minister has the following to say ot the local newspaper, which will bear careful perusal: "Your local paper tells you when to go to church, to county court, and to send your children to school or anywhere you want handle, liut the instincts ot na to go. It tells you who is dead, j ture are infallible. Though who is sick, who is married, and many other things you would like to know.

It sets tortn the advantages of your town and invites immigration, and is the " first to welcome new comers.

TOO LONQ BETWEEN DRINKS. bENATOR VAXCE RELATES THE HISTORIC MEETING OF THE GOVERNORS OF THE TWO CAROLIXAS. In the olden times of our state a -a a . a hood, be tore the steam engine bullied the earth with thuudcr ous stroke and reduced space to a mere nvitter of time, when whiskev with sugar was five cents a glass and all backs were turned as that glass was hlled. land when a white man was con sidered as good as the negro if to his head one day to pav a long promised visit to his neigh- bor, the Governor of South Car olina. So he put a clean shirt and a pair of socks in his saddle bag. mounted his horse and rode away through the pine forest toward the couth. Diligently following his nose in this direc- tion ne came in a ue time to tne home of his brother Governor. where he was received with all the honors of genuine Southern hopitalitv. hen asked how he felt his characteristic i eply was, "Thank you. Governor, I am tired, sleepy, hungry and sober." The host cordiallv assured him that he could remedy all these. Next dav dinner was served at twelve o'clock as the lrn blew for the hands to come in. After it was over the two Governors retired to the shade of the long back porch, where corncob pipes, with long twists of home grown tobacco awaited them. There, in the long, soft after- noon, reclining on easy bottom rockers, they lolled and smoked and talked the hours awav. Be mem-ltwixt the twain, on the floor, m. . a sat a brimming pitcher of apple It odd v. with the mellow, roasted fruit impudently floating on the surface of the divine tipple. From time to tune this aided and enlivened the conversation. They talked ol the comparative excel fences and advantages of their respective Mates, ol the price of cotton, of horse raising and run away negroes, as they talked they smoked and as they smoked they drank. They speculated on the coming glories ol the coun- try, they pledged eternal friend (ship to each other crsonally. and vowed to preserve all neigh borly courtesies between the two Carolina States forever and for- amen! Now and then thev would doze in their easy chairs under the mellow influences ot their happy surroundings, and on waiting up woum inaignant ly deny having been aaleep and take another drink to prove their wakelulness. nd thus things wenton. l Now it happened that theOov- lcrnor of boutb Carolina bad a I wife as all good Governors should have, on the principle of i inc oiu maxim mai ne wnu as- pires to govern should learn to - obey and her name was Betsy Jane. She well knew the failing of her Governor and she easily guessed that the visiting Govern or was tarred with the same stick, ymetly watching pro ceedings she at length concluded I IDlll lUCSC IWU OIU CUVKS WCIC about as full as they could well hold without slopping over, and it was time to stop. Watching her opportunity during a rather protracted doze, she slipped away the pitcher, still hall lull, and inserted in its place a piggin of cool spring water with a clear. j yellow gourd hanging on the sound asleep the Governor 01 North Carolina felt that some- I thint? was wrong a lack of I spirit as it were every nerve in him cried out against the prcs- I ence ot a hostile element, and be a m awoke. His perturbed soul had 1 not deceived him. The pitcher ot toddy was gone, ne im I mediately awakened his host. who courteously inquired, "What I. a laa T. ft . - ..... lis the matter r uon t you see what is the matter?" said the I xl 1T A. ..fArl itsxc,. tPtnAeA t.uc now uisnca.u iiwai. . i.aj. tell me what is the matter, my dear Governor." "The devil you - m a m I m! Nothing wrong, indeed ! i go" to sleep with a pitcher of tod dv before me, I wake up and find a'piggin of spring water, and the Governor of South Carolina tells me in his own house that he seeb nothing wrong in that 1 Well, I T All T FlOWA ' waa , a j c tv act V f Bllf said the Governor of North Car olina, rising with a very great I A A.

She means stop, and we're done for to-day. I'm sorry I can't bring the pitcher back. I humbly beg your pardon, Governor, but mavJK there4i a Betsy Jane at your house and maybeyouknow how it is yourself." The oflend ed dignity ot the Governor of North Carolina dissolved slowly into a genial smile of intelligent comprehension, and, solemnly working one eve, he fell cither upon the neck of his host or upon the porch floor, tradition does not say which-exclaiming, "You bet, old bo v; you bet." And that's how it cam about! Throughout all that Southern land tradition has wickedly re peated and kept alive the saying of the Governor of North Caro lina os a convenient mode of jogging the memory or stimulat ing the flagging hospitality of a host, but has failed to embalm in human memory the righteous prudence and wifely virtues of Betsy Jane, the spouse of the Governor of South Carolina. For near on to a handled years the saying has been a faithful one, and worthy of all accepta tion in onr country that is to say, it has been faithfully repeat ed that tune and anything of fered in response thereto has been universally accepted either straight or with sugar.

The length of the alimentary canal is about thirtv-two feet. The amount of blood in an adult averages 30 pounds, or fully one- fifth the entire weight. The heart is six inches in length and four inches in diameter and beats 70 times per minute. 4.200 times per hour, 100.800 times per day. 46,792,000 per year, 2,565,440.- 000 in three score and ten, and at each beat two and one fourth ounces of blood are thrown out of it, 175 ounces per minute, 656 pounds per hour, seven and thrcc- lourths tons per day. All the blood in the bodv pass es through the heart in three minutes, says the Popular Scien ce Monthly. This little organ by its ceaseless industry pumps each day what is equal to lilting 122 tons one foot high, or one ton 122 feet high. The lungs will contain about one gallon ot air at their usual degree ol in flation.

KEOCO. The place, whose beauty led me to attempt to describe it, is situated in a certain part of Johnston county and rejoices in a name, given by the Indians, signifying a "place of meeting." It is a large plain, bounded on the west iv a great mil, crown .a . a a ed with noble oaks, on the south, by si forest of pines and sur rounded on the east and north by a large stream whose music, as it bounds over the rocks, has kept it company these hundreds of years. Long years ago, when the craity luscaroras roamed over mis part oi tne state, tney met at this place everv autumn and spent several days in hunting. fishing and playinggames. From this the Indians gave its name and though they have ceased to visit it, it is renowned as a ptc-nic and camp-meeting ground and id the early days of the Republic was used as a voting place and muster ground. It was on the night of 21st of October 1892 that I last a a, v this place. It was such a night, I fancied, as it was, four hundred years before when Columbus first saw the light of the New world, shining from San Salvador through the darkness. As I stood there upon the brow of the hill, I seemed sud denly to have been transported into the days of long ago, the cycle of time "turned back in its Bight" and the year was 1492. I saw Indians runmngand jump ing on the plain below me, I saw the ponies, breathing fire, dart across my vision, racing for '.he goal, I saw the wigwams and the great fire with silent men sitting around smoking, I heard the songs of the maidens and the shouts of exultation as some brave gained a victory in the contest. The games seemed to be at their height, the shouts of the warriors became more frequent And even the old chiefs were watching the scene with interest when the illusion was dispelled, the moon rose slowlv over the pines in the east and cast her rays into every rec.-ss of the plain and forest. i ne games ceased, the ponies with their riders melted into the imiKci, nc wikhhuis iuiucui into bushes, the council fare died our, me singMig oi xne maiaens was tne songs oi tne Diras sing- fit.

And so, every autumn, between the setting of the sun and the rising cf the moon, the scene i enacted and many are the weried stories told by the simple coun try-folks who live near by and the place is not visited by them after nightfall. The oaks on the hill, lean to ward the pines below and in wind like accents, interspersed with signs, tell the storv and weep for the. forgotten race and everv autumn one more oak lies upon the groujd, one more pine the Atlantic Hotel at Morehead has found its way to the saw- City last Saturday.
