The latest issue 01 toe tfee tiive, a Maccabee paper published at Port Huron Michigan contains a first rate picture of K L Taylor of this city, whom it refers to, as "Maccabee Bill." Commenting on the picture the paper recites the- fact that Mr. Taylor within sixty days pre . seated to his lodge 43 accepted applica tions for beneficiary membership in the order, and that March 22nd he . added to the list seventeen additional applica tions. The Bee Hive' laments that there are not more "Maccabee Bills" in the order. Cory aliis Times. from the Washington Post : Every Senator and member of congress was the recipient last, week of a letter from a Kentucky distiller, containing an .order upon a local liquor seller for a bot tle of a oew brand of whiskey. The orders were in the form of handsomely engraved drafts, Buch as are used by banks generally, and were numbered with a check perforator, to prevent coun" terfeiting. Not all senators and mem bers called to secure the aforesaid battle, bat some of them did, and very few orders, indeed, are there .that have not been presented by some one. Congres- meii s cierks in many cases have pre sented them and now and then a page, who ha3 picked one np from tae floor, besides a few colored tonsorial artists, and an occasional bootblack. "Was it good whiskey? And how b g a bottle was it?" a&ked one congressman yesterday of a friend who had "cashed in" his order tl e day before. "The liquah was all right enough Bah," was the reply, "bat if a man had been tbusty he wsulJ have needed two or three bottles, sub." From the Eugene Guard: "The matter of choosing senior ora tors this year has been a bugaboo on the hands of the faculty of the Univer sity of Oregon. There are 25 members in the class and the consumption of time would be too great to allow them all to orate. At first a committee from the faculty selected six seniors from the class to orate, basing the selections npon the standing of the members This . created great dissatisfaction among the members of the class who were left oat. The faculty finally increased the number who were granted the privilege to orate to twelve, making the orations electivs, but this failed to allay the tense feel ing, as many were stilt left out who ds eired to orate and felt that they were as much entitled to do so as some of those who had been selected. The principal bones tf contention were the Failing and Bee km an cash prizes which gave res pectively $150 and $100 to the seniors receiving first and second places in the delivery of graduating orations on com mencement div. " "Rich as are the gold" fields of Alasaa, f wou'd not advise any one to strike out for that country who is not pretty robns physically, and who baa not with him a reabonab'e amtunt of money to-live off for awhile after bis arrival," said Mr. O ' H.

"It might take weeks, even months, for a prospector to make a strike, and hence it is very unwise to go if one has barely enough money to pay the expense of the trip.

March 4 Saw Maj McKinley inaugu rated. We folks who nominated him will be all right now. Think 1 had bet ter take an Assistant Secretaryship. The administration wants good men who know something about politics. Betides, I am getting to like Washington. March 8 Big crowd at the White House. Tbey ought to give the presi dent time to settle hioisrli. Have sold my excursion tickets and will stay awhile. Too mauv people make a hotel uncomfortable. Hav- found a good boarding house. March 11 Shook bands with the Pres ident in the east room and told him I would call on a matter of business in a few days. He seemed pleased. March 15 Went to the capitol and found Senator X. He was sour. Said the whole state was here chasing him. Asked me what I wanted and said, "Bet- ter go for something in reach ." Maybe an auditorship would be th j thing. March 23 Took my papers to t e White House today. Thought I'd wait and hav j a private talk with the Presi dent, but Secretary Porter said I'd have to go along with the rest. What anUU mannered set they were. Elbowed me right along just because tbey saw the president wanted to talk with me. Will have to go back and finish our conversa -tion. March 27 Got sous more money from home. March 29 Went to the White House, but the chap at Porter's door wouldn't let me in. Said it was alter hours, rie ought to be fired. April a Saw Mark Hanna after wait ing five hours. Asked him why my set. ter had not been answered. He said he was getting 400 a day and bis secretaries would catch np some time next year. I always thought Hanna was overestimat ed. Sow I know it . April 5 Had an interview with the president. Was last in line 8 J tbey couldn't push ma along. When I told him of my services to the party he re plied. "Oh, jes," and for me to file my papers in the state departmen. Said he had many good friends in Indiana and hoped tbey would be patient. Can be have forgotten that I am not from Indiana? Probably the tariff is worry ing him. Shameful theway the senate is acting. Ayril 7 Borrowed a little more money.

He said, "Oh, yes," and to fiie my papers n the postoffice department, and he hoped bis friends in Massachusetts would be patient. What made him thiok I was from Massachusetts? I suppose be gets mixed sometimes . April 20 Senator X says there is one chance in a million of getting a Consulate, but if I will concentrate on Ztown, be and the delegation will do what they can.

After my services to the party, too. Who is Jones any how. April 27-r-I am going home. Senator X baa got me a pass . W ill send for my trunk later. I tremble for the future of this administration. From the Cieveiaad Recorder: Grover Cleveland's speech at the banquet of twelve-doilar-a-plate democrats, at tbe Waldrof, in New York, Saturday night, was characteristic.

The purring round of little men had created some alarm for fear the democratic party would be diverted from it great mission and condescend to fight side issues with tbe republican party while the gold party gained another victory. Bat all turb nonsenco was exploded Ex From the Eugene G-iard : W. E. Wiles who is not in Salinas. Ci iiornia writes thai that country is greatly overrated and grossly misrepre sented abroad by pamphlet sect out by real estate men. For instance, he says, one pamphlet contains a purported pict ure and description of a .arge sagar re finery, when in fact there is not a sagar reEoery in the county. The con c try is ov errun with Japanese labor. The Japs work tor whatever they can get and even the Chinese are unable to compete with ihem and are leaving iu Urge numbeis. He states that the country is overran with mechanics aod laborers of all kinds, and that crops in the southern part of Salinas county hare been badly damaged for want oi rain. A new way of maiketing ama'.l veget ables is to drhver them growing in box es. A letter from a resident of an East ern village says: "We get all our lettuce aud parsley by tbe box. These boxes e,-e about 10 inches loo. 6 inches wide acd 2J inches high. The boxes are filled with soil aod the p'acts are growing nicely therein, as thick as they can stand. We boy a box of our gi ocer, pick hat we need lor one meal and the rest keeps on growing It is fresh, crisp, clean aod there is no waste. One who has tasted vegetables bought in this way will not willingly go bars to the willed stuff that comes from the ordinary mar ket. TLese boxes could be crated aod shipped a reasonable ditlanee to mar ket," Senator Mara Haooa is pretty thor oughly known throughout tbe Ccited States, but be is onlr another exemplifi cation of .the fact that no man is so well known in this world bat there is some one who never beard of bita. a new boy of the Western Union Tele graph Company strolled - languidly into the headquarters or the National Com mittee yesterday, says the Post, and in quired : . "Is there a man around here by the name of Hanna?" . Tbe look of extreme disgust on the face of tbe colored messenger who re ceipted for the dispatch at such awful ignorance wonld make the fortune of any artist who could depict it on canvas. Here is something wort'0 digesting: 'It's a hard thing to form habits of in -dustry, but equally aa bard to break them after once being adopted," said Mr. H. H. Davidson, of New Ycrk, at the Normandie to a Pott man. "For forty years I worked with ail tbe energy of my nature and when. I leached tbe age of aixty, having amassed a comforta ble fortune, though by no means a gigan tic one, I thought I had toiled long enough, and so retired from business. Thai was about five years ago and I must say that tbe happiness I bad an ticipated from the rest has not mater ialized. To a man who has enjoyed work the cessation of activity brings no gratification. I belli ve the happiest being on earth is the one who is most intensely employed.''
