Carpenter.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.—John J. Ingalls is making (he fight of his life to get back to the United States senate. There is a fair chance that he will succeed. If he does so ho will be a greater man than ever in the eyes of the American people. He has been taught a lesson by his defeat. He has had a chance to study himseit and his poseibili- tles, and If he is returned he will play Ingalls and Ingallism for all it s worth. He has given up all desire for the prominence which blinded him when he was president of the senate, and he will take his place on the floor as ono of the brightest, coolest and bitterest fighters that body has ever known. We need him. The United States senate is deterforat- fng. The glants of the past—Edmunds, Thur- man and Evarts—have gone. Butler of Bouth Carolina has been relegated to ob- curity, and John Sherman speaks now only when necessity demands it Ingalls is now in the prime of his intel- lectual and physical existence. It Is true he is but every atom of his thin, angular frame is as tough as malleable iron, and his vitriolic brain is a dynamo of Intellectual activity. He has more ideas to the square fnch than many of his fellow politicians havo to the square mile, and his vocabulary is equal to Worcester and Webster boiled BE ON HAND TOMORROW—-EARLY - OFTEN—LATE-ANY TIME -S0 YOU'RE SURE TO COME TO unters.

He would rather fight than eat and he is at his best in a quarrel. He has always courted trouble in the United States senate and he has been happiest when in the midst of it. You remember the bitter battle which he waged with Joe Brown of you." The future senator looked the man straight In the eye and coolly replisd that he did not intend to make .a speech for any drunkard. He continued to look as the man flourished the pistol and jumped up and down, threat- ening to kill him. He may have been pale, and his heart may have jumped to his throat, but he did not move. Finally the man hap- pened to hit the pistol against his boot as Georgla, Ingalls had charged Brown With | he jumped up and down In his rage. It mutilating the Congressional Record, and | went off and the ball struck his leg flling Brown, after a venomous speech, had In-|the boot with blood. This sobered him timated that Ingalls would not have dared | somewhat and he left the dining room. 1o to make such remarks about him outside of the senatorial chamber. To this Ingalls re- plied that Brown could take his remarks in any sense he chose, and that he did not desire to shield himself In any way what- ever. He then went on to carve up Brown under the title of “The Senator from Alaska," characterizing him as the Urlah Heep of the senate, as a political Pecksniff and as the Joseph Surface of American polities. A duel was expected as the result of this, but Brown did not reply and the matter was dropped. galls then went upstairs, brought down his pistol, and laying it beside his plate, went on with his eating. The drunken man was killed that afternoon in an affray which he had on the street, HOW INGALLS BECAME SENATOR. It was not long after this that Ingalls was sent to the United States senate. His e tion was one of the most remarkable that has ever occurred in the history of the ccun- try. It created a great sensation at the time and made him a national character at It was the day after this affray that I[once. He succeeded, you know, the notorious called upon Ingalls, and I found that Brown's [ 8. C.

Pomeroy aid so I picked up a plece of what seemed to be a disk of leather the size of a dollar with a brush of long, black hair hanging to had come to the legislature with a barrel of money, and politics in Kan worse at that time than they are no it.

I have known him for yeavs, and my acquaintance with him has been a suc- cession of surprises. He has as many colors as a chameleon, and he puts on a new one every hour. His private conversation Is full of meat, and when he talks, every sentence makes you think, and every word welghs a pound. "He is a man of broad reading, and ho draws his illustrations from the antedi- luvian poriods of geology in one sentence, takes a metaphor from a famous English novelist for a second, and in the third, like as not, glves you a bit of the latest slang from the slums. At first you are dazzled by his flow of words and ideas. You are blinded by his pyrotechnic phrases, and you give him no credit for his genius other than that to the God who made him. As you go on, however, you find that he is one of the hard- est workers of public life, and that the vast mental capital which he has today has been largely made up by the saving of iutellectual enliles, For the past twenty years he has een making speeches and witty remarks in his study in order that he may deliver them in private conversation or on the stump. Every bright thought and every expression that he bas come in contact with has been reground until it has left its original shape and become a new creation, that of Ingalls alone. He has a pecullar memory In that when he once writes a thing he pens it, as it were, on the tablets of his mind, to be left there until occasion shall call it forth, The books he reads are always interlined and filled with marginal notes, and these notes aro often finished sentences which he makes thus and lays away for future use. He is a feet against the shoulders of the dying man, he jerks It away with a smack like that made by pulling a plece of wet leather with a string from a flat stone. Senator Ingalls gestured graphically as he gave this description, and as he did 5o it seemed to me that he was thinking of Brown, and I venture were he ar Indian there is nothing that he would more delight in than in the scalping of his enemies. SPEAKING AT THE POINT OF A PISTOL. There will undoubtedly be much opposition to Ingalls during his present campaign. Hlis speeches will be full of bitter things against the populists and he may have a chauco to re- enact some of the experiences of his youth He came to Kansas, you know, as a boy, with little more than the coat on his back and a droppers placed for that purpose in an ad- Joining room or outside of the door by York York Insisted that he must have $8,000 for bis vote, and Pomeroy at the last interview gave him $2,000 in cash, promised him $5,000 the next day and $1,000 additional after the election was over. When the legislature met in joiut session York got up and - walked down through the hall with two bundles of greenbacks in his hand. He said that these bundles contained §7,000, and he asked the speaker to count them. The speaker did 0, and sald that the count was correct York then told the story of how he had been bribed by Pomeroy, and he asked that this money be used to prosecute the senator for bribery. As he proceeded with his speech the assembly went wild, and when the ballot was taken at its close there was not a man who dared to vote for Pomeroy. Ingalls, who volume of Blackstone under his arm.

He sald that he was billed for a speech and he was going to make it. He did make It, and that in no measured terms. 1 don't know why it was, but for some reason or other he was not disturbed. Still, this same crowd who threatened him had already he came to Washington and expected to be rewarded by getiing an office. He was disap- polnted, and was soon despised and forgot- ten. It is not generally known that Ingalls had a chance of sticceeding Peffer in much the same way that Pomeroy hoped to succeed himself. The story was told me by a Kansas congressman last night. It great student of the dictionary. He knows Rogers' Thesaurus of English words by heart, and is happlest when he s studying Crabbe's Synonyms.

It was necessary in solving this archi- tectural problem, says Bradford L. Gilbert in Harper's Weekly, to design and to locate the buildings as part of a general scheme, while each should bear a certain individuality of its own, 0 as to avold any sameness in ap- pearance; possible diversity by utilizing grade levels or special plot outlines being Impos- sible under the circumstances. As some of the buildings would necessarily be viewed from a distance and &s part of a whole, while others were being examined in detall, it was desirable fo decide upon an appropriate and practicable style of architecture which would allow of such treatment without any appear- ance of a strained effect, and which would impart an fmpresson of stab'lity, massiven:ss and dignity. The result was of necessity to be gained by a graceful contour and bold constructional outlines, yet to be capable of such detail design as would be eminently sultable. It was necessary further to take into account the desirable effects to be galned by light and shade In connection with the wall masses and openings, as well as in the various projections, moldings, and color scheme. Particularly to be avoided were all fancy detalls, moldings or cheap ornamenta- tion, used so frequently and with such poor results ‘upon the majority of exposition or state fair bulldings. Nor must we have copy (or caricature, rather), upon a cheaper basis, of any well known buildings at home or abroad. In short, it was necessary to evolye 50 far as possible and practicable within the limitations of site, cost and time, something that might be considered a truly American type of architecture—broad, natural, generous and appropriate, free from the usual re- straints of fixed rules and regulatiors, all based upon actual requirements and the neces- sity of location and considerations of avall- able material and labor. How far these re- sults have been accomplished the exposition bulldings must tell, as those interested must prove the kindly critfcs. The bulldings have been based upon a type of architecture which might be termed “‘modern Romanesque,” as exemplified by the graceful outlines, bold construction and ma ing of a portion of the famous “Pitti Palace" at Florence, and the still better examples of similar construction and design to be aeen at Rome and other parts of Italy—examples that somehow seem to have escaped many students of architecture. es of the Atlania He has never purghased any prop- in Washington, and if he comes back to senate he will probably live here as he did in the past, In a boarding house near the capitol, ington’ society and will devete himself to will pay little attention to Wash- and the natlon," Observation will disclose the fact that it has been possible In the general design to retain a family likeness, 8o to speak, while many ramifications have been found permis- sible; and each structure retains an in- dividuality and treatment of its own In harmony with the whole scheme, as witness particularly the Manufactrres, Machinery, Electricity, Agricultural, Fire, Auditorium, Transportation and Negro buidings.
