Show around half the time with an nnlit cigar between Lis lips or ift his Angora. Senator Sen-ator Daniel is still another "dry" Binoker. Roger Q. Mills is a toothpick fiend. Springer, of Illinois, besides his famous red buttonhole bouquet, is noted for the way in which he picks at the buttons on the coats of the friends with whom he holds conversation. Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, is always al-ways fumbling in his pockets like a schoolboy. Julius CfBsar Burrows seems to think his trousers pockets were made to keep his hands in. Billy Mason, of Chicago, never combs his hair. Senator George, of Missi&sippi, wears two pairs of glasses at once one for reading and the other for long range. Senator Morrill Mor-rill takes a long nap every afternoon in the Republican cloak room, and is so reguh.'r in this indulgonce that at about 1 o'clock senators who may be sitting on, Mr. Morrill's favorite couch considerately consider-ately get up and move away, so that tha coast may be clear for the aged statesman states-man from Vermont. Senator Evarts wears coats two or three sizes too large for him, for the purpose, it is supposed, of concealing to some extent the spare-ncss spare-ncss of his frame. Henry Cabot Lodge has a sweet tooth, and five or six times a day, on an average, sends a page out for caramels. Ben But-terworth But-terworth puts his arm around you if you stand beside him or walk by his side. Joe Cannon never fails to rest one hand on yonr shoulder while talking to yon, ' as if to reoHsure you that he means to do you no harm with the other, which . he uses for purposos of gesticulation. j Walter Weixman.

Special Correspondence. Washington, Jan. 20 The greatest of men have their small traits, their little peculiarities, President Harrison dislikes dis-likes a tall hat, though of course he often saeri'k'es personal predilection to considerations consid-erations of dignity and propriety. He has always had a horror of public bRrber shops, and the man who now trims his beard and cuts his hair the court barber bar-ber has performed a like service for Mr. Harrison for fifteen or twenty years. At Indianapolis the president rarely or never visited a barber shop, but always had his man come to him at home or at his office. The president's favorite hat is the derby, but Senator Plumb couldn't le hired to wear anything but a soft slouch hat, which looks all tho more slouchy from Mr. Plumb's way of wearing it. Senator Wolcott hasn't worn any sort of shoes except patent leather since he came to Washington. Senator Vporhees has worn the same stylo of neckties plain, black silk, "string" ties ever since he was a Ixiy, and will probably wear them, and none other, as long as be lives. Another hobby of the Indiana senator is his fondness for a large Bilver watch. It is an old fashioned timepiece, almost as big as one of those dollar alam clocks which have driveu so many men to profanity by their premature explosions, ex-plosions, and the senator has carried it since he left his home in Ohio about forty years ago, It was his father's before be-fore him, and will be his son's when he is gone. Senator Sawyer has a mania for imti-fat literature, anti-fat experiments experi-ments und anti-fat remedies. He is the acknowledged authority in congress on this subject, and speaks asone with personal per-sonal knowledge, for by eating light and . often and eschewing fluids he has reduced re-duced his weight fifty pounds in six months. As nothing succeeds like success, suc-cess, nil the fat men in Washington aro rushing to Senator Sawyer for advice. Senator Ingalls has two or three hobbies. hob-bies. One of these is rooting around old bookstores; another is red neckties, and a third is wearing a tight lilting coat, al-" al-" ways buttoned from top to bottom. Maj. Mc Kin ley expends a good ileal of his surplus energy in smoking cigars. He is one of the most inveterate smokers in congress.' Another of Mr. McKinley's peculiarities is ins fondness for the use of the words "United States" in debate. Mr. McKinley never fails to improve an opportunity to usr. these words, for he loves to roll them on bis tongue. Mr. McKinley pronounces "United States" very much in this fashion "Y-o-u-n-i-ted St-r--tes." and if he has ixrasion to speak o? the president he is alwnvg the "President of the United States." Tho senate is "The sennte of the United States,'" and the treasury ia , "Tho treasury of the United States." Senator Gorman, whose oratorical manners man-ners are much like those of Mr. McKin- ley, has a similar fad. He rarely or never addresses the presiding officer of the senate without saying. "Now, Mr. Pres-I Pres-I ident " One day last week, duriug the great debate on the elections bill. Mr. , i ',' i i i Gorman made his usual exclamation, "Now, Mr. President," when bis attention atten-tion was diverted by some of his colleagues, col-leagues, who whispered to him advice or suggestions concerning his remarks. It thus happened that Mr. Gorman repeated his favorite phrase no fewer than five times, with rather comical effect. Senator Reagan, of Texas, is never lia)py unless he has strings or pieces of cord to play with, twirling them about in his fingers, testing their strength, tying ty-ing them in knots, and then untying them again. Senator Kenna, of West Virginia, is a paper chewer. He is continually con-tinually snipping off corners of letters or sheets of paper and putting them in his mouth. Sometimes he use3 pieces of cord or binding twine, and one recent day he cut a queer figure going about the senate chamber with a couple of yards of red ribbon dangling from his mouth. The spectators craned their necks and asked one another what the trouble was with the senator from West Virginia. The answer was simple. Mr. Kenna had simply begun to exercise his infantile propensity upon the end of a ball of red tape. An odd fad is that of Congressman George Adams, of Illinois. Mr. Adams, though never at sea, is passionately fond of sea stories. He reads all the sea tales he (m get hold of, and amuses himself drawing diagrams of the sailing courses of shijm described in the stories, and of the scenes of wrecks and disasters. From his familiarity with the fiction -of the sea Mr. Adams has become a master of nautical terms, which he is too modest mod-est to use. Some day, no doubt, the congressman will take a sea voyage, and come back determined to become a sailor, even if he has to buy a yacht for his own use or ship before the in;ist of a lake schoiiner. Senator Cocltrell is the only man I know of in the aristocratic end of the Capitol who has the audacity to smoke a pipe within the sacred prucincts of the house of lords. During one of the recent night sessions Mr. Cockrell was among the absentees, and the sergeant-at-arms received instructions to hunt him up and bring him into the chamber. While that official was searching high and low Mr. Cockrell was snuggled away in a corner of the cloak room, enjoying a smoke frori a long corncob pipe made in his beloved Missouri. When he heard that bo was wanted the senator refilled his pipe, came to the door leading to the chamber and there stood puffing defiance in tho face of the senate. Senator Wolcott is the only left handed man in the upper branch of congress, j Congressman Hopkins, of Illinois, is not only left haaded, but lias a way of turn-' ing the paper wrong end to while writ-tug, writ-tug, so that he looks at the lines from tho top instead of from the bottom. Senator Edmunds twirls his thumbs or rubs his nose with his Iwo forefingers joined together. Speaker Reed has a habit of standing with his hands clasped behind his back. : Joe Blackbnrn is like a big, awkward ; boy there is always some cnt, sprain or j bruise on his body. First, he slips on j the ice and hurts his leg; then be cracks j the twines in Ms l.'ft arm, and to this day wears that member in a sling. An-' other of his peculiarities is failure to an-1 wer to his name on tho first r.Jl call, j One day l.-.st week the tally clerk, in calling the roll of the senate, called out j Blackburn's name as usual, und, as j usual, wa alxmt to call the next name without tho custounry pause for a re- j spouse, wnen Blackburn sang out a "no" I which made the gas fixtures rattle, and filled the clerk with astonishment and confusion. ' One of Senator Cullom's characteristics is bis smile. The senior senator from Illinois, who looks like Abraham Lincoln, Lin-coln, and who may some day be president, presi-dent, is always smiling. He smiles when he is good natured and when he is not, when he is saying unpleasant things as well as pleasant, when praising or damning. damn-ing. He cannot help smiling any more than he can help breathing, and it follows fol-lows that Mr. Cullom is a man who makes many friends and few enemies. A peculiarity of Senator Bate is that, although he is very fond of tobacco, and always has a cigar in a corner of hii mouth, no one in Washington has ever seen him smoke in the ordinary acceptation accepta-tion of the term. His cigar is never lighted, and he enjoys what he calls a "dry smoke." He has a reason for this which is worth relating. He was a brigadier general in the Confederate army, and connected with his brigade was his brother, also an officer of high rank. The two were always together. Both were smokers, and even in the field the thin blue curls of smoke could be seen ascending from their cigars. During one of the most fiercely fonght battles of the war Gen. Bate and his brother were together as usual watching watch-ing the progress of the fight. They ;ere on an eminence, and although within range of the enemy's batteries proceeded to indulge themselves as usual in the weed. Gen. Bate drew out from his pocket two cigars, and handing one to his brother took tho other himself, and then asked for a light His brother struck a match on his box, and just as he was offering it to tho general a cannon ball came along and struck him right in the face. The poor fellow's head was taken off as cleanly as though it had been done with a sword. From that day to this Senator Bate has never lighted a cigar. Senator Brown, of Georgia," who is now sick, and whose successor will be the "fighting Governor" Gordon, had a habit when speaking of always rubbing rub-bing his hands together. This peculiar trait called forth from Mr. Ingalls that memorable attack on Mr. Brown, in which he characterized him as "a Uriah Heap, continually washing his hands in imperceptible water with invisible soap." Mr. Hiscock, whether on his feet speaking or in his thair, is all tho while running his hands through his hair, which with some vanity ho has ur-ranged ur-ranged in thick rolling locks, which fall in gray ripples over his forehead. Senator Edmunds, who is very bald, has a horror of draughts, and often wears a skull cap in going through the senate corridors. Senator Teller, who wears his thick, tawny hair pompadour, has a way of stroking his bangs upward every few minutes. An oddity of Senator Sena-tor Plumb, one which greatly adds to his resemblance to a big. good natnred I farmer, is his habit of running his thumb under his waistcoat at the shoulder to straighten out his suspender strap. This : he does alout once in five minutes, especially espe-cially when standing on his feet engaged in conversation. He does it sometimes while making a speieh, just as the ' farmer does when he stops to rest with ! the plo w or the rake. j Senator Sawyer is fond of big red ap. plea, and o'ten comes into the senate chamlier With three or four in bis anus, ! and then passes them out to his neigh-' bors. His colleague, little Senator Spooner, is, a "drv" smoker, and iroes ' . i '.' ' t |
