Doubled up In his square irmed chair, the figure Is that of i 'at, pudgy boy with a round bullet head, of which the drawn, contracted irows, the long straight, prominent lose and the thick Hps are the most lonspicuous features. When, with i thick hickory cane firmly gripped n the right hand and thrust forward the figure straightens up, long-hipped. and very erect. The head (a always lifted and hrust forward. The blind senator has i way while sitting, of holding his .'ace on a line with the action for the moment commanding attention for Instance, that of a senator speaking or the clerk reading. With his cane In its right hand, his left drums on the I ask at which he :its. He has a way f snapping the thumb and fingers f his left hand. During his first few 'ays in the senate alert page boys tool, his for a summons. The boyish-looking Oklahoma sen itor he Is In the early fort 1-8 ha: me characteristic unusual In bllnti Persons. He addresses with accurate nodulatlon of voice the peraon ti hom he Is speaking. Most bllni' ticn and women experience great dlf 'Iculty In "getting the range" of th person they are addressing, and fre- liiently speak either ot the'rlght or eft of him. Thus far the blind senator has not toUK'it to participate In the proceed ing, but as one senator put It, "lie in tcaUIng in the ntmopphcrp." When ready he Is expected to con tribute one of the spectacular speechen of t!:e session, because he Is a strong, virile speaker, a fine elocutionist of tho rough and ready sort, quick at repartee and with an amazing com mand of words. Mr. Gore has been in his seat the full length of every aeaslon sines ha took office, sparing few minutea In the cloak rooms, to which senator flee to escape being bored by long winded speeches. And every minutes he is In his seat "the little brown-eyed woman," Mrs. Thomas P. Oore, sits In the gallery watching ever gesture of the man' to whose election she contributed more than any one else. The senator him self calls her "his eyes and right hand." and says she knows more about parliamentary law and politics than uny other woman in the country. She accompanies him to the senate and lakes him away at tho close of the day. She takes down the speeches he dictates, attends to his mail and supplies every function that his slght '. eyes cannot perform. SENATOR WEDNESDAY, JAStJABY t, 10. t . - BOCIETY. . ; X 4 Mra.

The regular change of program will take place tomorrow evening. ' The numbers are all good, but the one which will create the greatest Interest Is the "Clever Detective." This tells the story of the kidnapping of a little jlrl and the clever work and hair breadth escapes of the detective, who Inally, with the aid of the child. Is ible to rescue her from the outlaws tnd return her safe to her distracted parents. The comic numbers are truly un-makers, especially the one which s entitled "Between Two Fires." The Tired Tailor's Dream" is a mechanl al wonder. The tailor had an order or a suit for a really bad man, who promised something rich If the gar- nents were not ready for him at a ertaln time. The tailor dreamed that he various implements of his craft uiddenly became animated and o. their own free will set to work to make he suit. Mr. Feriln wilPsing the Illustrated iong. "When 8weetheart Mary Whls ered Yes." The sentiment of tht ong Is good and the slides are al tand-colored and pretty. Mr. Brucr vlll preside at tho piano, and it Is safi o say that he will be able to enter aln the audience with his numerous tnd timely selections. Mr, Bruce k x performer of ability, and his happy elections and splendid renditions add much to the pleasure of the entertain ment at the New Electric theater. Palmer House for Sale.
