WHERE TILLMAN STAYS.
He Has Comfortable Apartments ir
"The Farragut" in Washington.
Washington, January 11:?As
soon as a citizen of South Caro
lina reaches Washington lit
makes a beeline tor the Capitol
in quest of a member of the Con
gressional delegation, with a
preference for senator Tillman.
As chairman of the committee
of the tive civilized tribes the
South Carolina Senator has a
a comfortable apartment on
the gallery floor of the tenate,
adjacent to the document room
This committee room is easy oi
access in two directions, and it
is rarely that it is not the scene
of a conference between mem
bers of the South Carolina dele
gation and some of their consti
tuents.
Recently a party of gentlemen
from the Paimetto State were
visiting Senator Tillman and
one of the them asked him how
it came about that he had been
assigned to the committee oi
of which he was chairman.
"It has been a puzzle to me,"
replied Mr Tillman, "and the
only solution Vould seem to be
that my colleagues in the senate
look upon me as a big chief and
good Indian."
When not in his committee
room or on the floor of the
senate, the South Carolina
senior Senator can be found at
the Farragut apartment house,
to which he was removed from
the Normandie hotel, where he
resided for a while this winterHis
present quarters are in one
of the most aristocratic portions
of Washington and he is with in
easy walking distance of the
White House_ and Government
departments.

SOLDIER AND A PACK OF CARDS.

A Pack of Cards Series for Bible, Almanac
and Prayer Book.
(Publbhed by Requcit,)
A private soldier Vas taken
before the Magistrate of Glas>
gow for pla}'ing cards during
Divine service.
: The account is given in the
"English Journal." A sergeant
commanded the soldiers at the
oVinfoVi anH u-hpn the oarson
VUUI VU) u?iv% ?.
; read the prayers he took his
text. Those who had a Bible
took it out, but the soldier had
neither Bible nor common prayer
book, but pulling out a pack
' of cards, he spread them out before
him. He looked at one and
then at another. The sergeant
of the command saw him and
said:
' "Richard, put up the cards,'
this is no place for them."
"Never mind that," said
Richard.
When the service was over the
constable took Richard prisoner
and carried him before the Mayor.
"What have you brought this
soldier here for?"
"For playing cards in church."
"Well, soldier, what have you
got to say for yourself?"
"Much, sir, I hope."
"Very good; if not I will
punish you more than ever a
man was punished."
"I have been," said the soldier,
"about six weeks on the
march; I have neither Bible nor I
Prayer book; I have nothing but I
a pack of cards, and I hope to
satisfy your lordship with the
purity of my intentions."
Then spreading the cards before
the Mayor, he began with
the ace:
"When I see the ace, if reminds
me that there is but one
God.
When I see the deuce, it re- i
minds me of the Father and
( Son.
When I see the three, it re-1
minds me of the unity of the'
I Godhead in the trinity of per- J
. sons.
When I see the four, it re-'
minds me of the four Evange.
lists that preached: Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John.
[ When I see the five, it reminds
[ me of the wise virgins that
trimmed their lamps?there
were ten, five were shut out.
When I see the six, it reminds
me that in six days the Lord
. made heaven and earth.
) When I see seven, it reminds :
; me that on the seventh day Godj
1 rested from the great work He j
. had made and hallowed it.
I When I see the eight, it re- j
? minds me of the eight righteous ;
s persons that were saved, when:
3 God destroyed the world?Noah ;
r and his wife, his. three sons and I
. their wives.
When I see the ten, it reminds j
me of the ten commandments j
which God handed down to |
Moses on the tablets of stone.
When I see the king, it req
minds me of the Great King of
0 Heaven, which is God Almighty.

was as wise a woman as he was
a man.
"Well," said the Mayor, "you
have given me a description of
all the cards in the pack except
one,"
"What is that?"
' Phe Knave," said the Mayor.
"I will give your honor a
description of that too, if you
will not be angry."
"I will not." said the Mayor,"(
if you do not term rae to be the
Knave."
"Well," said the soldier, "the,
greatest knave that I know of is ;
the constable that brought rae!

the church on three succesaive Sundays.
The first was diminutrre in
stature, the second smaller still, and
the third wts the smallest of all. A
lady in the congregation spoke with
a member of the church committee
and demanded to know why such
small candidates had been selected.
The exrln nation, as a writer in the
London Telegraph gives it, waa thin:

The Publisher's
Claims Sustained
United States Court ok Claims
The Publishers of Webster's loteraaUoaal
Ptctliaery allege that it"la, in fact,the popular
TTnehridirM thorotiirhlr remitted lneverr
detail, and vastly enriched In every part, with
the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger
and severer requirements of another generation."
We are of the opinion that this allegation
moat clearly and accurately describes the
work that nas been accomplished and the
result thathas been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly roedlted
in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of a
generation which demands more of popular
philological knowledge than any generation
that the world has ever contained.
It is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our Judicial work as of
the highest authority In accuracy of definition:
and that in the future as in the past it
will D9 the source of constant reference.

Supposed Source of the Plot of Shake'

While Shakespeare no <3oub'
wrote the tragedy of "Hamlet," a!
it is found today, he borrowed mani
of his data from an earlier Writer
Saxo Grammaticus, a Danish his
torian who -lied about 1204. HL
writings we.'e in Latin, and ii
Shakespeare's time they had no1
been translated into any moden
language. The story is to be fount
in Belleforeut's collection of nov
els, begun in 1564, and an Englisl
translation of it was published en
titled The Hystorie of Hamblet

A Columbia university man wh<
makes frequent use of foreigr
words and phrases in his talks an<
his literary products was under fin
for this practice. The feeling
among his antagonists was that th<
English language is a good enougl
means of expression. "Well," sai<
the expert in word pictures, "to m<
a number of these foreign phrase

their use recalls. I plead guilty t<

The gendarmes had to draw thei
