If the register is a very wide book the cecentric dash of the Pennsyl- vania senator is supplemented by an position, h The ship chandise, the D. CAMERO his name on the wister, which is a Fitth ue Hotel wide book, he us the double dash. A gentleman gives this explanation: “I'have lived in Washington, known Senator Cameron well, and the reason he uses a dash before his name. He never uses the h except on a hotel register. At the capital nearly every man has a handle to bis name.” When nator or geners at a hotel, the clerk po- itely adds the pre! tever it may be, and it appears tk al So-and-so has deliberately written b i Senator Cameron, instead of being a vain man, is very modest and unassumin The po- lite clerks put the prefix Senator to his name frequently on the registers, which was exceedingly repugnant to him. His simplo request io leave off all appendages to his signature did not have the desired efteet, and he hit upon the happy idea of the dash to keep anything from being written in front of his name. The front dash worked for a time on narrow registers, but finally the ingemous elerk wrote the word ‘Senator’ after his name, ‘This required double vigilance, so the re- :fl'infl and genial senator added the aflix ash.” Senator Conkling and Senator Bruce —A Rebuke to Senator Alcorn, Boston Herald: Ex-Senator Bruce of Mississippi says he is going to prepare a Jeeture on his experience in the senate. “By the way,” he continued, ‘‘did you ever know the seeret of my admiration for Roscoe Conkungy When I came up to the senate I knew no one ‘except Senator Alcorn, who was my colleague, When the names of the new senators were called out for them to go up and take the oath, all the others excent solf were escorted by their coll M, Alcorn made no motion to but was buried behind a newspaper, and I concluded I would go it alone.
