How a New Name Has Been Applied A GLASS: THAT CARICATURES, Statesmen That Have Not Talked in the Silver Debate. MEN STRONG IN COUNCIL Senator Morgan has succeeded in dubbing his colleagues with a name which is likely to hold to them for some time. His simile of the cuckoo clock has struck a popular chord in the House, and the members of the lower body seldom refer to the Senators now by any other title than “‘cuckoos.” The simile was used by Mr. Morgan in his speech when he said that when the clock at the White House struck the hours the euckoos in the Senate put out their heads. The two houses of Congress have always delighted in applying some jesting title each to the other. For many years the House was known as the cave of the winds, and the Senate as the fog bank, and now the title of cuckoos, as applied to the Senators, appears to the members of the House to be quite a jolly conception, and a great many jests are made upon them. It is said by the wags of the House, in speak- ing of the Saturday’s compromise, which is destined to become famous in the history of the silver contest,that the trouble was that the cuckoos came out on Saturday and | coved the hour when the clock at the White House had stopped. The Magic Glass. There is a magic glass in the Senate which performs some curious freaks in the way of distorting and caricaturing the dig- nified legislators of that body. Pending discussions of the silver question the cloak rooms have been about the most popular attachments to the Senate, barring the galleries, and during the long-winded Speeches Senators have found a retreat there at such times as they have been un- disturbed by the torturing calls for quo- rum which dragged them out into the sun- light of the eloquence of Mr. Stewart or some other gentleman who had something to say. The doors leading into these cloak rooms are half glass, the upper part being Set with heavy plate panes. From the gallery over the Vice President’s chair a view of the cloak rooms is had through these doors, which are kept closed. Sena- tors taking their ease, telling stories, hoid- ing disputes or snoozing, are in plain view if they do not get behind the partition wall. There is something about the refiection of the skylight on these glass doors which has the effect of distorting objects at certain angles, and as a caricaturist these magic Panes cause some curious effects. Mr. Hoar’s face turned toward the Senate look- ing through these doors is @ great circle, and shines and beams red and glorious with smiles like the first ap- pearance of a full harvest moon above the horizon. Hill, seen through these doors, has an immense enlargement of the head. His bald dome presented to the vision as he sits settled down in his chair, trying to hide from the sounds of Stewart's voice, is enlarged about the brow and elongated as if his brief leadership and reinstatement in the favor of the executive had had the effect which electing to office sometimes has on men new to public life, which is far from true. The pale face of Peffer, seen through the glass, ts elongated, the eyes sunken and the features emaciated and his beard seems to spread in all directions and reach to the ground, filling the whole scope of vision. With an extraordinary intelligence this glass seems to appreciate the adaptability of the caricature, and when Mr. Stewart stands behind it and either yawns: or laughs, ‘his mouth becomes distorted to an immense size, and Mr. Allen, who is tall and sits erect, strikes an angle in the glass which produces a tremendous enlar;ement explain of the lower jaw, sufficient to capacity for fifteen-hour They Call Each Other Oat. It ts-curfous to note the effect Senators have on each other, They appear to run in pairs, whether in antagonism or sociability, and there is hardly a man in the chamber who is not subject to the influence of some other one Senator. It has often been ob- served during the course of the silver fight that, try as hard as he might, Mr. Palmer could not remain quietly in his seat while Stewart talked, and in spite of all resolu- tions of silence he was bound to be drawn into the debate. Sherman seldom has much to say in the Senate and Gorman apparently never wants to talk. But if Sherman makes @ speech Gorman is sure.to be drawn out to reply to him. Gray, in his anxiety to con- sume as little time as possible in this debate, has tried to put the seal of silence on his lips, but when Morgan talks he can’t keep entirely quiet. McPherson, full of knowl- edge, and almost bursting with a pent-u; argument, managed, with great effort and evident discomfiture, to keep out of the dis- cussion for the most part until Jones of Nevada began his speech; but that settled it for the New Jersey Senator. After the first |few sentences of the Nevada Senator he began to move uneasily in his. seat, then he changed to a seat near the speaker, and be- fore he knew it he was engaged in a run- ning debate, asking long questions and en- tering dnto the discussion with great earnest- ness. Every time Jones has taken the floor | to proceed with his speech, which has been conducted on the instalment plan through several days, McPherson has occupied a chair close up in front of him and wiggled his fingers, and moved about until he could restrain himself no longer and has then jumped into the fight with almost savage vehemence. Almost the only man who has been able to start Voorhees talking, is Du- bois. Every time the youn man from Ida! 10, who has been the life of the fight against repeal, has made a statement he ha: pro- voked a reply, and sometimes a very sharp one, from Voorhees, whom he always calls Uncle Dan, and who loves him like a son, Hoar can remain in his seat, as placid as a summer evening, reading a newspaper or a book of poems, indifferent to all that is going on about him, until Teller takes the floor. Then his attention wanders from his reading and before long he is dragged into the discussion with a question he can’t help asking or @ sharp retort which is too appro- priate to be suppressed. Hill always irri- tates Butler to a retort, and Daniel excites Mills. One of the most silent men in this whole discussion, at the same time the hard- est worker for repeal, excepting Voorhees himself, is Faulkner. Yet until Mr. Alien’s tremendous efforts Faulkner wore laurels for having delivered the longest speech with- out interruption that had ever been deliv- ered in the Senate. But that was in another fight on the floor. This isRansom, who, in days During this fight his work has not been of an oratorical sort. One man, who has fig- ured in this contest behind the closed doors of the conference room, has never asked a question nor taken any part whatever in the fight on the floor, is Ransom, who, in days past, used to enjoy a great reputation as a speaker, but who for many years has not uttered a sentence in debate on the floor of the Senate. The antagonist who can draw him out has not appeared. ——————+ eo. —_____ ity to Be a Murdere: Defense. Mrs. Chas.

The police have been notified that on ‘Wednesday night, the occasion of the cardi- nal's visit, thieves entered the Georgetown College, found their way to the dormitory and stole clothes and jewelry to the value of about $300. It 4s thought ‘that the clothes were thrown from a window by the thief and taken charge of by a confederate be- low. At the hour the robbery is supposed (a 'nlght puseed ‘through the entrance on that night en: leading from the college grounds into the town. The thieves, therefore, must have left either by way of the fence that borders Prospect avenue on the south or the path leading from the rear to the woods skirting the coliege branch. Among the articles made aw; with were three new suits of clothes: 4 a diamond pin. The thieves could not have entered the college with those who came to witness the celebration in honor of the cardinal, as the public were not admitted, only the well-known mem- bers of the college faculty, and a few Sen- ators and Representatives of familiar face getting beyond the doorkeeper on the front. A Bold Robbery. Chas. Cissell and Richard Bertschey, re- siding in the same house near Fort Myer, have had their home entered by burglars and everything of value that could be taken away without trouble removed. The bur- glars are supposed to have-entered through @ window ten feet above the ground. Not only were jewelry and money to a consider- able value taken, but even the clothes found hanging about. To cap this the mid- night visitors thought they would take a | locked trunk, which they did. so seclud- ea t some distance house it vas rifled of its most valuable contents and left. ‘The loss to Messrs. Cissell and Bertschey is estimated at $2%. The bulk of this is Mr. Bertschey'’s loss. The robbers carried their things away in a wagon, as indicated by wheel tracks leading from the spot where the trunk was opened, across a grassy country and in the | direction of Georgetown. . Erected a Monument. Judge Joseph W. Davis is back et his office again, after having spent the past _ week in Jefferson county, West Virginia, where he superintended the carving of a beautiful marble monument, which vester- day he had erected in the private burying ground of the Davis family near Charles- town, over the remains of his father, moth- er, two brothers, grandfather, and grand- mother. His grandfather Davis was origi- ly of Rockville, Md., but in 1781 changed nan ghee of residence to Virginia. There | all the Davises now prominent in George- | town, were born and reared.
