How Tha Briber Planned. '
Richmond, Va., May 18. H. C. Cleg
gett, private secretary of Senator Hun
ton, gives an interesting story of the
manner in which the effort was made to
bribe Huston, Bultz went to Warren-
ton with letters and sought a interview
with Epha Hnnton, jr., the senator's
son. He approached Mr. Hunton as an
attorney and told him he wished to en
gage his services in an important case.
He also told him his fee was to be $25,-
000 or more. He asked Bultz what
manner of service was required in con
sideration of such a handsome fee, and
then it was that Bultz delicately inti
mated it was to secure his father's vote
against the tariff bill. Mr. Hnnton in
dignantly ordered him from the office,
and also acquainted his father with the
fact. Senator 'Hnnton laid the matter
before the finance committee, and they
prevailed on him to keep it quiet till
they might obtain a few facts in the
case. ' ,
WOULD NOT 8IT WITH COXBYi
HI ' Presence Caused Tronble at the
Clover Club Dinner.
Philadelphia, May 18. Coxey made
a sensation here tonight by appearing
at the Clover Club dinner. After he
was invited Colonel A. K. McClore, ex-
Minister Charles Emery Smith, Major
General Snowden, Colonel John I. Rog
ers and other members of the club said
they, would not sit at the dinner with
Coxey. They were told he would not be
there, so they ' came, "but Coxey came
too. When Colonel McClure walked in
with ex-Governor Curtin there was a
lively row. Coxey was enticed from the
Bellevne hotel, where the dinner was
spread, and taken to the Art Club by
Colonel Thomas Donaldson. Then the
dinner resumed. General Snowden told
the Cloverites that he would not dine
with Coxey, as he might soon have oc
casion to meet that "general" in a
sterner conflict. Coxey was angry over
the turn-down, but sought solace with
some genial friends.

WOMEN OF KENTUCKY.
The .Effective Campaign They Are
Making Against Breckinridge.
Pittsburg, May 18. A gentleman who
has just returned from Kentucky was in
Lexington when Colonel W. C. P. Breck
inridge made his speech there. He re
lates some significant incidents of the
campaign. . A Lexington man went
home the day of the speech with a
Breckinridge button on his coat lapel
and told his wife that he had decided to
support him. She replied: "As the
head of the family I recognize your right
to place your political influence wher
ever yon please, and as a- loyal wife I
shall do what I can for the success of
your candidate. I am ' going ; to the
florist's to get a bunch of the finest white
flowers I can find. I shall meet the
train the colonel arrives on, invite him
into my carriage and ride up with him."
The citizen looked at his wife in amaze
ment. ; He knew that she was quite
capable of carrying out her program, and
he knew he mnst prevent it. She agreed
to relinquish her plan when he took off
the Breckinridge Dutton and promised
to oppose the colonel. Another Lexing
ton man met some ladies on the street
and joined them in their walk. He
wore a Breckinridge button. One oi the
ladies said to him,: "We should be de
lighted with your company ; but we can
not be seen in public with a man wear
ing that button, neither can we receive
such a man at our home." The button
promptly came off. : These are samples
of work, the women of Kentucky are
doing against the re-election of Breck
inridge. r
' , .The Worst 4f this Season. - -
' Chicago, May 18. The storm today
iS the worst on Lake Michigan this
spring. Scores of vessels lying in the
harbor are nnable to make their way in
to- the river. ' Eleven fishermen spent
the night on the government pier. " Tom
Sidloe, a sailor, was washed off the pier
and lost. The others were rescued by
the life-saving crew today,
At 3 o'clock a three-masted schooner
foundered south of the government pier.
Four men were eeeu struggling in the
water. At the same hour a woman was
rescued from the mouth ot the pier.
The gas launch Neva is missing. It is
owned by F. G. Bevan, of Grand Rapids,
Mich. Last night two of his friends,
accompanied by two young- ladies,
started on a short trip.
Origin of a Common xpression.
The term "namby-pamby," which
has come to be applied to a person of
vacillating' character, as -well as to
weak literary productions, was origi
nated by the poet Pope. He applied
it. to some puerile verses that had been
written by an obscure poet one Am
brose Phillips addressed to the chil
dren ot a peer. The first half of the
term is meant as a baby way of pro
nouncing Amby, a pet nickname Sox
Ambrose, and the second half is simply
a jingling word to fit it.
"Do ro think that woman is fickle?"
said Kiddins. "Certainly not," replied
Kaddins. "You can always depend
on her. She announces that she will
do as she pleases, and keeps her word
religiously." Washington Star.

Not Words Enough.
A few weeks ago an American pub
lisher wrote to Oscar Wilde, asking
him for a "story of one hundred thou
sand words," for which he offered to
pay "so and so." The gentle soul ol
the artist was disturbed. He didiot
take it kindly that his wares should be
appraised by the yard, like . ribbon.
He wrote back to the: New York pub
lisher: "Dear Sir: I have received your
charming letter, .and . have spent two
or three days in delightful contempla
tion. I should like to write the story,
but I do not see how I can do so.' Un
fortunately, there are not' one hundred
thousand words in'- the English lan
guage." -: "M ' ' ' " ' "
.lie Was Eccentric
A millionaire who was noted for his
eccentricity died at Antwerp. M. Van
Goulaken had a special antipathy to
tramlines, and when they were laid
down in front of his house, many years
ago, he took an oath that he would
never have his house cleaned or painted
again. The house was long a disgrace
to the fashionable quarter in which he
lived; but he regarded its dirtiness
with grim satisfaction. In his will he
has forbidden his heirs to use the
word "regret" in any announcement of
his death.
Worth the Money. .
A British nobleman who was sued
for. breach of promise is reported to
have declared that it was impossible
for him to contradict a lady, and that,
therefore," he would not deny that he
had made the promise, but he insisted
that the lady had exaggerated the
value of his affections and that that
value was a fair question for a jury.
The lady recovered onto per cent, or so
of her original claim and the mulcted
nobleman declared that the cross-examination
of her by his counsel was
amply worth the money.

An Importunate Tenant.
Naturalists have of late taken a good
deal of interest in a creature, member
of the. fish tribe, that lives upon the
products of the Indus ry of others.
This associate or dependent at a cer
tain, stage of its existence goes out to
seek a home, and, finding a suitable
prospect, it lies in wait for the oppor
tunity to take possession. When the
larger fish opens its mouth, the slender
little donzalle, as it is called, thrusts
its tail between the jaws of its new
landlord, and then remains perfectly
quiet while the mouth closes. When it
again opens the donzalle moves in still
" further, until it has secured its quaiv
ters, when, it settles down .to a con
tented if somewhat monotonous exis
tence in the digestive canal, of its
chosen victim. There it helps itself to
the choicest morsels, and that, too,
without even saying "by your leave."
Empire cut is still much in use for
tea, gowns and house wear generally,
and always looks- well with a fine fig
ure to show it off. Empire means to
day a broad belt of ribbon just be
neath the bust with a huge ribbon bow
and long hanging ribbon .ends that
reach nearly to the. floor. Ellen Os
