SENATOR UARTLVS CASE.
Renomlnatlon of Virginia 'Statesman
Cvst a tmail r ortune.
Senator Martin of Virginia is out of
pocket 11,5j0 la expenditures to se
cure a renomlnatlon to the United
States Senate. This is more than one
third of the salary he would receive
during the whole six years of his new
term. The expenditure, it seems, was
necessary. The Senator had a popular
opponent wbo set a hot pace and kept
it up to the end. There was nothing
for Mr. Martin to do but to canvass
tho State fiom end to end and this,
with other necessary expenses, ran the
total high. This fight of Senator Mar
tin for renomlnatlon and. the neces
sary large expenditure, which is looked
upon as entirely legitimate and frco
from any corruption, has aroused con-'
slderabla comment among politicians
and prominent men at Washington, as
being' an exceptional clear cut ex
ample of present political methods and
necessities.
"Martin's troubles are now practl
cally over," said a prominent Southern
SENATOR MARTIN,
er, stopping at the national capital, who
has ail his i.fe been familiar with the
practical methods of political nomina
tions and elections, "Martin can draw
a check or two more and then close up

close State; but suppose it were, and
that Senator Martin was now obliged
to meet a Republican antagonist, able
to give him the fight for the election
that Governor Montague gave him for
the romlratlon, so that he had to spend
$11,500 additional a total of $23,001.
This would leave him $7,000 of salary

"Nay, more. Virginia is a State where

the sections. There Is not the boldlnr.

A RUG FIT FOR A KING,
Shah's Gift to Ldwaid of a Wonder
ful ProUuct from the Eastern
Hand Looms.
Never outside fairyland has been
seen such a wonderful carpet as that
which King Edward received the
other day as a present from the Shah
of Persia a token of his appreciation
of the affectionate hospitality extended
to him on the occasion of his last visit
to England.
. ..
FORTY A MINUTE.
When this marvelous production of
Persian artists and weavers was
spread out before his majesty at
Buckingham Palace he must have
been reminded of some of the scenes
depicted In the "Arabian Nights."
It had been known for some days
past that a special Ambassador from
the Persian monarch was to wait upon
the King, and there was some specula
tion as to the object of his mission.
The secret was well kept, and It was
not until the arrival of the ambassador
at the palace that any Information
could be gained as to the contents of
the great packing case over which he
kept vigilant guard.
For more than two years quite a
little army of designers and weavers
has been co" - 1 1 work t:pn
the carpet, and the result has been the .
production of what even In Persia
must be considered a royal master
piece. The design Is very curious, complex
and certainly most. Ingenious; the
colors are perfect and faultlessly
blended: and the manufacture Is flaw
less. The rug has been made entirely
, by hand.
