THE EVENING STAR. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1895-TWENTY PAGES. SENATE MERCURIES The Bright Little Fellows Who Wait on the Senators. —~ THEY MINGLE FON WITH WORK The Many Duties That Occupy the Days. GEM OF THE COLLECTION IFE IS ONE GLO- rious mixture of work and play to a senatorial page. He can get in more fun to the square inch in his leisure moments and he can do more hustling and quick work with his nim- ble feet than almost any other individual alive. It would bea benefit to society if the average district Messenger boy could be taken to the Capi- tol occasionally and given an object lesson by being shewn a senatorial page doing an errand for a statesman. It would make the heart of a school boy burst with envy to see this same page a minute after his errand is finished enjoying himself as only @ page can. As a bundle of contradictions @ page is an eminent success. His equal is scarce to be found in any other depart- ment of life, either private or public. In the first place, the pages are selected from that age of humanity that is most devoted to the utilization of every mo- ment of leisure, as well as of every mus- cle in the body. Activity and ingenuity are the page’s watchwords. His first rule of existence is to do whatever he has to do in the shortest pessible time, so as to have all the more leisure for his many gnd varied modes of entertainment. As a rule, his mornings are mostly his own, and these he-uses to a certain amount of good effect by diligent work in a small room in the basement of the Capito) with the ath- letic apparatus that has there been ac- cumulated for the use of this interesting corps of young Americans. Here diminu- tive sets of dumb bells, boxing gloves and Indian clubs have been stored from time to time, and some of the pages have be- come quite proficient in their use. Last winter a series of boxing bouts between pages of the Senate and the House was inaugurated, in which the former came off victorious. With Indulgent Eyes. Some good hard blows are struck in this basement room, and occasionally a black eye merges into the full light of the Senate chamber. As facile with their tonsues, however, as with their fists, the boys came by their bruises, for it is one of the luxuries of being a page that the Senators are not hard masters, but are, on the contrary disposed to be very lenient and easy-go- ing. As @ matter of fact, the antics of the boys amuse rather than irritate them, and is astonishing how much confusion a ator who strolls into the chamber in the morning will endure before he enters a miid reproach. The boys use this morning hour with a great deal of freedow are divided into watches, boy having certs arrangement 0! . i ing of the chairs, the dis - fments and the pens. A boy is placed on guard at each of the doors to the cloak Fooms to prevent ove s visitors from Strolling into these siden precincts, and it is one es generally to g the rows of quite common am to wander ently to carry gens within. jor these guests about among desks and fre gouvenirs of their visit, h as sand bot- tles and ink w . and even name plates of the Senators that are screwed to the front edge of the desks, Distribution of Pens. The senatorial pens are all coilected at night and stored in a little, low mahogany desk of the sa pattern as the others, but much shorter in its legs than any other desk in the chamber. It used to be oceu- Pied by Senator “Parson” Brownlow, who was very fond of putting his feet up on the lower till of the desk, and in this favorite posture to watch the proceed- ings of the Senate. As none of his suc- rs cares to use so low a desk this piece of furniture is rather a drug on the market, and is now utilized as a sort of a pages’ storehouse. From this every morning the pens are redistributed by the pages, who occasionally utilize these imple- ments as missiles aud-free pen fights are not uncommon on the floor of the Senate. In passing, it might be said that this en desk oscillates to and fro between the epublican and democratic sides as the majorities fi tuate. J t at present it is on the democratic side, having been put over there to make room for the seats for the three Senators from the northwest, Mantle, Wilson and Clark. When tired of these labors, the pages are apt to rest frequently in the chairs of the Senators and their tiny forms hardly fit these great pieces of furniture. Phey are awed by the dignity of their however, and make them- at home. : z incident was noted the other Four or five of all ndin selves qui An am: day during the morning. mot at the little fellows were seen lying on their siomachs prone on the floor in the south- West corner of the Senate chamber, with their fac: ver one of the great brass gircular_r that give heat to the Toom.

The*th @ boys was philosophical, yet the warm air passing through the registe ould melt the gum, but the marble wa: yet cold enough to congeal the wax when it should rest upon it. Thus the tape could be depended upon, in time, perhaps, to lend the marble above the grating. Again and again the gum stuck on the marble and frequently the round bit of baked clay dropped back just as it was being pulled through the brass work. At last it was up. It went safely through the filigree work of the grating. A rather grimy hand grasped it, and the boys sprang from their uncomfortable positions with a shout cf joy, which was instantly subdued, however, as the lads noticed one of the Senators standing just behind them. He had been an interested spectator of their efforts for some minutes, and was quite as much pleased with their success as they themselves. Hear of Prayer. As the hour of 12 o'clock approaches calm begins to reign among the pages. ‘They cease their romping as Senator after Senator enters the a chamber, and their surreptitious games of marbles are dis- continued. A minute or so before the hour of noon the pages separate into two groups, one on each side of the chamber, and each page takes position in front of the desk before the first row of the semi- circle around the Vice Presideht’s chair. Each boy has his place allotted to him, and assumes as nearly as possible the position of respectful silence. Of course, this is only approximate with these young- sters, who are fairly boiling over with fun and frivolity. As the gilded hands of the great blue clock over the south door point to XII there is a hush throughout the chamber, the pages straighten up into stiff and unnatural positions, the doors on the east of the Vice President’s seat are thrown open, and a little procession formed of the secretary of the Senate, Capt. Bas- sett, the Vice President and Chaplain Mil- burn, led by one of the pages, enters. the room. ‘The boys standing by the front row of desks bow their heads and remain as though petrified throughout the prayer. Once in a while one of the more mischiev- ous lads will disturb the solemnity of the occasion by a surreptitious poke into the side of his neighbor, but as a rule they are well behaved, and do not chafe under the restraint of a covple of minutes. The mo- ment the “amen” is sounded the pages curry to their seats on the steps leading to the desks of the Vice President and the clerks, being equally divided between the two sides of the house, and a few moments later they are to be fourd in all parts of the Senate wing, as they flit about on their errands for the Senators. Senator Gorman’s Example. This Senator may want a book from the library, commitiee room. that one a document from his Another may desire the presence of his clerk in the Senate cham- ber, or still another may simply wish to send a message to a Senator on the other side. Many of the errands which these beys perform are onfidential and they Yever betray the trust Imposed upon them. As a rule, however, the more delicate missions are intrusted by the Sen- ators to the ‘lder at- taches, the assist- ants to the sergeant-at-arms. One of these young men has been in the service of the Senate for nineteen years, Mr. Alonzo Stewart. & He is known as the chief of the pages. and has graduated from the ranks. He fs attached to the republican side in general, though he is at the service of both democratic and republican Senators. He keeps the boys in order, being assisted in this task by Ralph Riddleberger, the son of the ex-Senator of Virginia. Beside these there are two aleputy sergeants-at- arms constantly on duty on the floor, Messrs. Layton and Troy, but they are men of much more mature years and are ‘ul to the Senate in the more important than those that are usually in- trusted to the pages.

Young Beattie Perry of South Carolina is the gem of this interesting collection of senatorial mercuries. He is twelve years old and has now served in the Senate about two years. Before he came here, however, he had served for two years as a page in the South Carolina legislature, so his ex- perience has been a wide one. He is a great favorite with Senator Butler, who secured his appoint- ment, and in return of fifteen the little boy is one ef the most devoted followers of the South Carolina Sena- tors. He is an odd little chap, quiet and taciturn, but always ready for a lark, and as full of mischief as an egg is full of meat. He is very small for his age, and in strange contradiction is quite learned, especially in political lore. He is understood to know the political situation in his state from top to bottom, although, as is well known, that situation is one of the most complex in the United States. Being a friend of Butler’s, of course he is an inveterate enemy of Till- man, who will succeed Butler after the 4th of March, and nothing enrages the lit- tle ehap more than to be addressed as “Senator Tillman.” He is always ready to fight at the drop of the hat, and especially when his loyalty to the sitting Senator is at all questioned. But whet distinguishes Beattie above his fellows is his capacity for food, which, without the least exaggeration, Is enor- mous. It is as good as a show to watch that boy eat. His ravenous appetite stops at nothing but the limitations of -his purse, and meats, vegetables and pastry disappear with incredible rapidity when he finds his way to the restaurant. Like many of his older brethren, he feasts on pay days and starves between times. That Is to say, he Starves only In comparison, for he merely gets down to a normal basis of a normal boy’s appetite. When he Is in good form he can probably eat more than any three grown men in the Senate, especially pastry ts. veritable fact, without the sus- exaggeration, that on a recent this young gourmand—it is un- sary to state that {t was a pay day— way with the following menu: A made g of canvas-back duck, with all its ompaniments and trimmings; a dish of oysters; three pieces of mince pie; five charlotte russes and six plates of ice cream.

Mrs. Ford—‘dohn, you were drinking last night. I noticed it in your conversation. Mr. Ford—“In my conversation?” “Yes. You were so painfully correct in your pronunciation,” A CLOTHES MEN WILL WEAR Indications of the Coming Spring Styles. Novel Combinations of Color—Changes in Cutaways and Sacks. From the New York Sun. Browns and greens and attractive mix- tures ef these foundations will prevail in men’s clothes. The changes in the style of men’s clothes are just marked enough to make last spring's pronounced fashions noticeably out of date. The best tailors will make an effort this spring to tone down some of the absurdi- ties into which they were led last spring. Of course, this applies only to the clothes that are made for men who desire to be abreast of the fashions or to lead them. To satisfy this desire the tailors were led te construct double-breasted frock coats with ample skirts that flapped against the calves of their wearer's legs. They evolv- ed the long-tailed cutaway with skirts that tepered down, and which was known as the “Dove.” That is a thing of the past. The extreme dove-tafled cutaway will be as much out of style-this spring as would be the old scoop waistcoat of half a dozen years ago. The fashions, as indicated by the best tailors, are much more sedate and sensible than they were & year ago. The Chesterfield overcoat will be consid- erably shorter than it was last season, a trifle looser at the waist and somewhat Cutaway Cont—Business Cutaway. mcre ample at the bottom. The covert coat for a man of average height will renge from thirty-four to thirty-five inches in length, and it/will not be worn except with a sack or a short business cutaway frock coat. It will ke a half box with a whole back. The double-breasted frock coats are to be made shorter, so that the skirts will not fall below the knee. The skirts will have what is known as a decidéd French press; that is, they will be indented at the side plaits, which extend from the hip buttons down, in a pronounced manner. The edges will be single stitched for all soft materials. A few months ago the old Reau Brummel skirt was in favor, but this spring, although the skirts will be cut full at the bottom, they will not show an extravagant amount of bottom width. The waistecats for these suits will erally be of the same material as the coat and sirgle breasted. The double-breasted waist- coat, however, with cut-off, wel!l-peaked lapels, closing with four buttons during the spring and three uring the summer, will also be worn. tcoats in fancy patterns and in colors are matters of individual taste. There are some s' sack suits that well-dre ‘The double-breasted sac ht cfnges in the 1 men will wear. for a man of Soft Roll Sack.

The short business cutaway promises to become popular also. This coat has been worn more or less for several years and English tailors have tried to make it popu~ Jar. The skirts of such a cutaway are very little longer than the skirts of a sack coat of the average length. Fat men will be permitted ® cling to the one-button cut- away. However much New York men may dis- claim it, their fashions are largely led by those of London. This is particularly true Covert Coat—Straight Front Sack Coat as regards scarfs, gloves and linen. The latest English overcoats that have been sent to this city indicate the popularity of velvet trimmings for cuffs and collars on all coats where they may be worn. The butterfly tie has had its day. The latest ties from London are perfectly straight. For evening wear the tie is rather broad, and instead of being plain it has small and almost invisible squares or checks. The cld-time Ascot or puff scarf has again established itself in popu- lar favor. The four-in-hand that ties in a small knot and flares brcadly below tt has already become a back number. Four-in- hands are now tied loosely and with the ends hanging straight down in a somewhat straggling fashion. These tles come in a broad, long band so that the wearer must fold them to sult himself.
