A SENATOR'S PLEASURES. FOUR HOURS SPENT WITH HIM IN KI3 ROUNDS. An. Interview With the President--His .Duties in the Departments After Seven Consulates—Seeking* Pardons, Pensions and Garden Seeds. Washington Correspondence of the Baltimore American. “Give me four houi-s of your time and I will prove that the few Senators and Repre sentatives who remain in Washington dur ing the vacation of Congress have the worst ‘roast’ of work known to public meu. Get into my carriage and wo will take a turn through the departments. Most, people be lieve that Congressmen—and I mean by the •word men in both Houses—have a picnic here when there is no session. Such an idea is fallacious—far from the truth. I would rather do the work of two mouths during the session than one month during the re cess. In the former instance it is the work of a statesman, in the latter tluit of a slave. •That you may know just what it is and how it is done, I want you to go with me this morning.” Such were the worths an old and widely known United States Senator spo e to your corresrK>ndent yesterday. As the vehicle moved awuy on our journey the Senator said: “We will go to the Executive Mansion first. My coachman knows the route I take every day, and I let him use his judgment as to where we stop first and last. He knows I must go to all the heads of depart ments before I am done. You will follow me into all the rooms I visit, for I shall say nothing to be kept from your earp, and do nothing not intended to be seen by you. Only consider it nil w ith simple secrecy." In his hands the Senator carried a great bundle of documents —letters without envel opes, petitions, memorials, affidavits and all the manuscripts a well-equipped office-getter and statesman could have while on a mission *f public business of all descriptions. Five minutes later we stood before President Cleveland. “I came,” said the Senator, “to present additional endorsements for my candidate for the British Consulate. Here are a num ber of strong letters which 1 want you to read yourself, and not have them simply re ferred to Mr. Bayard. Have you concluded to appoint my man to be postmaster at, the place I talked of yesterday ! No? I hope you can see your way clear to do so at least some time this week. And I have to call your attention to what I said in reference to pardoning the man I spoke of a few days ago. lam pleased to see you have not for gotten what I said, but am sorry you have not concluded to act. Pardon me for again reminding you of my young man who wants to go to West Point from ‘at large.’ ” The carriage wheels hummed till they stood in front of the War Department, only a block away. Here the Senator rushed up the great marble stairway aud pushed me into the private room of the Secretary of War, as though time was very precious. He merely said it was a pleasant morning, laid down his bundle of documents, and be gan assorting from them those he intended laying before Mr. Endicott. As ho handed them over, he asked a personal reading, re marking that they were endorsements for a young man who wanted to receive an ap pointment to a military cadetship; letters complaining that liquor was being sold on a military reservation, in viola tion of law, and calling attention to certain acts of minor army officers; and then the Senator was out into the corridor and on his way to the room of the Secretary of the Navy, wliich is on the same floor. With out announcing himself, the Senator walked right into Mr. Whitney’s room. Ho did not remove his hat, and instantly announced his mission: “Nothing, I see, has been done towards countermanding the order for a court-mar tial of the seamen from my State, and •bout which 1 have been here so often.” There were rapid strokes of good-natured repartee, sharp dialogue, and away the Sen ator went, bound for the Department of State, at the south end of the same building, on the same floor, but cut off by a partition of iron bars. “Let me see, Mr. Secretary,” said the Senator, addressing Mr. Bayard. “I have so much for yon this morning that I scarcely know how to begin it. Here are applicants for seven consulate, including duplicate endorsements for a Britisn position, the original of which papers I have just left at the White House; affidavits disproving the charges made against one of my consuls; three applications for passports; an appeal in the case of an American citizen in prison in a South Sea island: three claims against foreigner in foreign lands, and requests for consular reports affecting the wool industry in the Argentine Republic and Australia.” Again the carriage moved away, and then stopped at the Department of Justice. At torney General Garland smiled as the Sena tor entered, and exclaimed: “Your district attorney will be appointed this week. Now, there. You are pleased?” “So far so good,” replied the Senator. “Now say the pardon of that miserable mis creant, with half a dozen little children, will issue, aud I will bo happy. The crime was of no consequence, and it was his flirt. I will call again.” Secretary Fairchild was at his desk in his Srivate room, Treasury Department. The enator’s bundle of documents was appreoi bly diminished, but he got a good assort ment of miscellaneous matters from it. He presented further endorsements of appli cants for positions in the customs ana in ternal revenue services: a petition from importers for an amended ruling on certain imports, and a petition from exporter* for an exactly opposite ruling on the same matter; a memorial for clemency from a man who had been arrested for counterfeiting in the manufacture of plate advertisements; a claim for moieties by a man who had pointed out a vessel en gaged iii smuggling, and a remonstrance against the appointment of a man to be superintendent of a government building, under the course of construction. Then the oenator went into the Third Auditor’s office, • aud laid before him war claims of various descriptions—for horses, forage, bounty, etc., and hastened away to the Second Comptroller to see why the account of an officer had not been adjusted. '“how, I have but two rooms to visit in this department,” said the Senator, “and they are those of the superintendent of tho me saving service aud the Register. In tho ~flirt I will see if a man cannot lie paid somo tning for assisting in the rescue of a ship a few years ago—lns claim has boon hanging nro—and in the other I will ascertain for a *■ schoolteacher when the first bonds were registered, aud in what amount, and how mng they were to run.” These missions were more or loss technical in character, nnd the officers, after listening to the wants explained, said they would have replies ready within a few days. As we went up the steps to the Interior Department to sec Secretary Lamar, tho Nonator told mo that this place made him more trouble than any other executive •'ranch of the government; that the ques tions growing out of land and Indian affairs wore most perplexing; that patents wore slowest in development, and that pensions Wore most numerous. Secretary Lamar S'ghed as tho Senator uiiicrsd, and said lie was glad that 1 e did not have to deal with ***** office-seeker this time. •'°i’ replied tho Senator; “not an office seeker, but an opinion hunter. Here are inree of tho most annoying questions in ref erence to making proof of lai id entries you •■ave come in contact with since you sat in mat chair. I want the highest judgment •urt, so there will be no appeal. And while l am at it, I will present an nppe&loua tunstion relating to an Indian post tiodei a'*'l a matter growing out of an eloo n, '*yna.ry institution undorthis department question of admitting a certain por the offices of tho Commissioner of "■ General Land Office. Commissioner of ateuta and the principal examiner ware visited, and the bundle of documents re duced again. "Now I have the most interesting part of my mission to perform,” said the Senator, os we passed down the high steps, and ho cast his glances across the street to the Post Office Department. “My colleague and I are rasping each other a little about some appointments in our State. I have recom mended certain men for prominent post offices and ho is recommending others. I sus pect that he is using unfair means to thwart me. I must see all the papers he has filed in the department, and must do it without at tracting attention.” We entered the room of a clerk having charge of the tpapers relating to the post offices and postmasters in one State which the Senator was directly interested in. The Senator asked to see all the papers filed in certain castes, and they were dumped out on a table. Quickly he ran over them, making a memorandum of the pertinent points. Then he asked for the papers upon which two postmasters had been removed. I no ticed his brow corrugate as he read these. More memoranda were made, many ques tions asked, and out he went. “I have discovered,” said the Senator, “that my colleague has been playing double; that my enemies have controled the appoint ment of two postmasters who hate me; that a friend has been removed on false accusa tions, and that the location of a post office is about to be taken from me and placed with my opponents.” The superintendent of the railway mail service got some of the Senator’s documents, in the form of letters and recommendations lor postal clerkships; also a petition to rein state a clerk aud another to remove one. The superintendent of free delivery was asked to send an inspector to two or three little cities to see if they were not entitled under the ne\y law to free (mail delivery. The First Assistant Postmaster General wanted to know after the Senator gave the names of more than a dozen fourth-class postmasters for removal and as many more for appoint ment if there was anything he could do for the Senator, and when tola “nothing, what ever,” he smiled, and said he hoped the Senator would call on him when he wanted something. “And now,” sighed the Senator, “for our last building—the Pension Office. Here is a place I visit six days in the week when I am in the city. This is the bane of the pub lic men. Wo tramp here and pour over pension applications, write thousands of letters in a year, aud get curses for pur pains. Especially do opprobiums pour on our heads fpr failures. Those who get pen sions through our efforts are thankful, but in their inner souls they be lieve they would have got them without our assistance. He can never explain a failure satisfactorily to an applicant. 1 will leave this little bundle here. There are more than forty cases here—original applications, appeals, requests for increases of pensions, and for every phase of pension matters here is a cue.” When these matters were lodged with Commissioner Black, I began to think of the end of my journey; but wnen we were again in the carriage, I saw we were being driven toward the eapitol. The Senator explained that he kept his surplus documents and seeds in his committee room, and would have to go there to execute some orders for constituents. “J presume you mean requests,” I ob served. “No, orders," was the reply. “It used to be requests; now it is order.' My constitu ents frequently write me, ordering garden seeds, documents, books of various kinds which I have to buy. especially the ‘Re vised Statutes of the United States,’ just the same as a merchant orders a bill of goods he expects to pay far.” Soon I discovered that not seeds and documents alone brought my friend to the eapitol. He went to an officer of the Senate to see about the retention of an employe who was on the verge of dismissal. Then he attempted to get into numerous commit tee rooms to obtain information about documents filed there during the last Con gress, in dead. Finally, he drew from his pocket a memorandum of bills of various kinds whieh constituents had re quested, and he went to the document room tor them. The afternoon was fast wearing, and I observed that the Senator did not take bis hat off at any place he visited. He had bolted right into tne rooms of the Cabinet officers, and announced his wants without ceremony, like a lawyer enters the office of the clerk when the court is in session and he has a case at bar. As we were on the steps at the east side of the Capitol, and I was congratulating myself upon the ending of our wearisome trip, my friend exclaimed: “Two more little things before I leave this part of the town. I have here in my pocket a letter from a man who wants a place as stonecutter under the Architect of the Capi tol; also another letter from one who wants to know if a certain title has ever been copy righted with the Librarian of Congress. Come with me to the offices of these officers. ” Next we drove to the Coast Survey office and to the Botanical Garden, to the former : for some technical information for a scien tific constituent and to the latter for somo buds for a floriculturist. We were now returning in the direction of my office. As the carriage whirl ed along the Senator drew forth a memorandum book. He stopped at the Pennsylvania depot to inquire the cost of tickets to certain points, making a note of it; at a commission house he asked the price of certain produce and jotted it down; and at a coiffure’s he priced a natural hair switch of a certain grade of whiteness, indi cating that thorn were aged women among the bothering constituent*. When I asked him if he did’ the shopping for the family, he replied that he never bought anything or priced any tiling for his famflv, that all he did was for constituents. Asked if he made this much work every day for his consti tuent*, he replied: “Much more than you have seen and heard Ido every day. Why, I read sixty Irttar* and dictated over forty answers be fore I left my house this morning. When I get bock I will read and sign those my sec retary ho* written out, and dictate a dozen or more before dinner. Theee will be to those I have been serving on tliis trip with you. For ten years I sat on the, bench in my State, and Ido more law business now than at that time.” “What part of all your work do you con sider most annoying ?” I asked. “The relations to Federal offices, procur ing positions and keeping men and women in or out of them. Half of my letters, tak ing the year round, relate to pensions; one fourth to offices and politics, and one-fourth to Congressional affairs. And a man makes three enemies to one in pensions, politics and Congressional work, when his corre spondence is alone considered. That is to say, when he get* a letter asking him ’to do something, he will make three enemies to one friend in the execution of the request. But we are back again. We left here shortly after 10.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 29. 1887-TWELVE PAGES. JAY GOULD’S LITTLE SCHEME. A Lawyer Explains Gould’s Transac tion With the Kansas Pacific. New York, May US.—The other evening a group of bankors and lawyers were con .versing at one of the leading clubs, when the chat turned upon the tertimony of Jay Gould before the Pacific Rail ,my Commis sion. One of the men present asked Mr. Edward L. Andrews, the prominent rail road lawyer of this city, to explain the transaction of Gould connected with the Kansas Pacific Trust, which has been the subject of so much recent comment. Mr. Andrews’ narrative was as powerful, conclusive and clear an account of this remarkable business as I have yet heard. “I am not surprised that you've not under stood it," he sola. It is almost incredible. The Government Commission has unearthed tho facts and circumstances of Gould's attack upon a trust. This security has always been regarded even by the most unscrupulous corporate manipulators as something too sacred to he tampered with. But Gould was not restrained by these trifles, as the proofs and confessions dragged out by tho Government officers nave shown. The Kansas Pacific Railway Company owned $3,000,000 of the capital stock of a connecting road known as the Denver Pacific railway. The Kansas Company, wishing to raise money, prepared to issue bonds, and, in order to 'secure the purchasers of its bonds, it placed this Den ver Pacific stock, together with other assets, in the hands of Jay Gould and liussell Sage, as trustees for the bondholders. This security was evidenced by the Kansas Pacific consolidated mortage, executed on May 1. 187'J, and, by itd terms, the Denver Pacific stock was delivered to Gould and Sage, to hold iu trust, for the benefit of the exacted owners of $• '0.000,000 of bonds. So ends the first, scene of this financial drama. “Six mouths elapse and we come to January, 1880. More than §8,000,000 of the consolidated bonds had been sold when the scheme was inaugurated. Besides being a trustee of the mortgage, Gould’ was the con trolling stockholder of the Kansas Pacific Company. The plan was conceived to con solidate the stocks of the Union Pacific and Kansas Pacific, with the valuable franchises of the Denver Pacific. As the two former stocks were worth between 90 and par, the effect of such consolidation would be to increase the value of the Denver Pacific to the sums level. But 3,000,000 out of the 84,010, 000 of the entire Denver Pacific capital stock belonged to the Trust for the Kansas Pacific bondholders. Jay Gould, as their trustee, was bound to defend their trust, and to secure every benefit attainable for it. But instead of performing this legal and moral duty, ,Gould so managed that the Denver Pacific stock disappeared entirely from the Trust. It was exchanged for Union Pacific railway stock, and was worth §3,000,000. But neither that stock nor its proceeds, nor anything else, was placed in tho Trust. The bone was picket! entirely dry; the bondholders were denuded of their 96viiritv “But who got the $3,000,000?” asked oneof the listeners. “This is the story of the conspiracy as told under oath: The consolidation of tne stocks was arranged on Jan. 16, 1880, and its terms were virtually dictated by Gould. In addition Gould made a contract with the Kansas Pacific Company by wliich he (Gould) was to become the owner of the $3,000,000 of Denver Pacific stock or its proceeds.” This pemarkab’.e result was accomplished in a manner peculiar to Jay Gould. On Jan. 17, 1880, Sidney Dillon wrote a letter to Trustees Gould and Sage, malting a modest request. He said i hat the Kansas Pacific Company would like to have the Denver Pacific stock out of the Trust; that it was of little or uo value to the bondholders, but that the company could make use of it in “certain ways” that would be valuable. Trustees Gould and Sage replied with re markable promptitude to President Dillon on the same day, stating that they would be glad to comply with his request, but that they had some doubt as to their strict legal right so to do. However, they referred Friend Dillon to their attorney, and said there would be no trouble. On the very day of the correspondence the Kansas Pacific Company through its principal Stockholder, Jay Gfluld, sued tliis same Jay Gould as Trustee of the consolidated mortage. It was rather difficult to see how Gould could have lost anything by tliis little arrange ment. The result was that the trustees were “authorized” to hand over the bond holders' property. On Jan. 23 this absurd aud farcical proceeding terminated. The ink was hardly dry on the monumental record when the articles of consolidation were signed. Within twenty-four hours the Denver Pacific stock was taken out of the safe and transferred almost entirely to Jay Gould. . It was a remarkable steal No wonder the world is talking about it. I have it on the very best authority that Gonld was in constant rehearsal with his personal counsel for three weeks preparing his testimony in the Pacific railroad investigation. That the testimony was artful was proved by the failure of all attempes to break it. Gonld was frightened this time, stealing trust funds is a serious offense eveii for a man worth a $100,000,000. That he realized it was plain from the day he went to the stand, for his nervousness was pronounced and pain ful Blakely Hall. A HANDSOME INCOME A Beggar Who Makes as Muchas $lO,- 000 a Year. New York, May 28.—1 none of the hand somest flats in New York resides a man who is a professional begger. By following this occupation he has an income of $lO,- 000 per year. He goes into good society and is one of the greatest wits and practical jokers in town, so that his company is much sought after. lie does not go prowling about the streets, however, begging u quarter or whatever he can get. He would disdain to accept less than SIOO, still he manages to collect $50,000 every year. He used to lie a drummer for one of the largest dry goods houses here, and an excellent one he was, too, but he found he could make more money begging. Ho never asks money from any one but rich people; and I believe if any other kind of peoplewere to offer him money ho would refuse it. He does not, however, beg directly for himself, but for the New York Children’s Home. Tho head of the dry goods firm with which he was formerly engaged is the President of this institution; and. Knowing that his salesrnau was noted for his cheek, he asked him one day during a dull season if he would circulate among the millionaires and get up subscriptions for the maintenance of the institution. He agreed, and the first day he started out he collected more than it was expected he could do in a week. The result was thut he was offered a certain percentage of what he collected, and he round that it would pay him to keep at it all tho timo. He says at first it was very trying work, hut now he has it so systematized that on tho whole he rather likes the business, aside from whdt money there is in it. “My ex perience,” he said, “shows me that the aver age New York millionaire is a much more liberal man than the public .suppose*. Tho only difficulty is in seeing these men aud presenting your claims. I worked six months before I was able to see Jay Gould. During that time I went to his office on an average of twice a day, and my efforts were in vain. “Finally, I caught, him on an elevated train, and, seating day self beside him, lie was obliged to listen to me. I asked for SSOO. Ho told me to call on him the next day and ho would give me his check for the amount. I went to his office, hut. notwith standing I stated what hail passed between the millionaire and myself, I was refused admittance to his private room I then made up my mind that Mr. Gould had thrown mo off, but I was determined to watch him again. I found out where he kept his prlvnie bank account and got a chock on that institution, which I filled out for SSOO. A month afterward* I ran across Mr. Gould agnin in the Windsor Hotel. He did not remember me, but I recalled our couvoiwition, and be again told me to cell at bis ofiicp, but I replied by presenting him the check and telling him it would not take a moment to put his signature to it, and lie did. Since then Mr. (<Ould has every year renewed his subscription without-any diffi culty, and I really believe it gives him pita sure to do so. Since then I have got to know him, and the public would la sur prised if it knew the amount he gives away each year in charity in this unostentatious manner. “I had still greater difficulty in securing a subscription from the late William H. Van derbilt. I knew very well that if 1 could talk with Mr. Vanderbilt there would be no trouble about getting him to give me a sub scription, and, alter innumerable calls upon him without success, I discovered that he was in the habit of having his tailor send a man to measure him at his house for a suit of clothes. I went one night to his mansion and represented myself as a tailor, mul in this way was ushered into Mr. Vander bilt's presence. After exchanging greetings I said: “ ‘Mr. Vanderbilt, in order to get to see you I have lied; but I have done it in behalf of charity. Instead of coming and measur ing you for a suit of clothes I have come to measure your generosity in behalf of a most worthy institution.’ “The millionaire was very angry at first and started to call bis valet and have him show me tho door, but 1 impeded his exit and kept on talking, and before I got through I had Mr. Vanderbilt's check for a neat sum besides taking a glass of wine and a cigar with him. Up to the time of his death he always renewed his subscription and his sons now do it for him. “Tho easiest of the millionaires to get money from up to a year or so ago was R. P. Flower, but bis warm-hearted generosity became so well know’ll that the man was ac tually persecuted. He Is so democratic in his manners that anv one who desires can get an audience with him, and there is al ways a lot of beggars about his office, hence he was eompellsl to make a rule only to subscribe to organized charity. Now, if you would see tho subscription books of the various charitable institutions you would see that New York's rich men are pretty well represented upon them.” Harry Walker. A Champion of Red Hair. From the Chicago Journal. Red hair, I believe, is a characteristic mark of the Germanic race alone. With this race, at least, it is the normal type, al though, of course, sporadic, instances of it occur among the Latin and the Slavic race. Hence among people of pure Ger manic blood, among the Germans, the Scandinavians and trie Saxons the posses sion of red hair is to be regarded as con forming with the normal type and ns the surest possible sign of pure blood aud un mixed descent. “Wherever the newcomers were left pretty much to themselves,” wriies Mr. John Fiske, “as in North Ger many, Central Russia and Scandinavia, we should find the auburn hair and bine eyes of the old Aryan still in the as cendant.” Another race that shows its esthetic ap preciation of the higher and purer typo is the Nubian. It is their universal custom, we are told, to dye their hair red with unslack ed lime. The esthetic sense of the Nubians in this matter has come curiously close to that of the artists of our own race. Auburn hair time out of mind lias been the favorite of artists. Examine the pictures of the great colorists of the Venetian school, if you want abundant and striking example of this. And not only has auburn hair been a favorite with artiste, but it has also Ijeen peouliary the hair which goes with the artistic temperament itself. Hundreds of cases to evince the tenth of this state ment could easily be brought, together. It will suffice to mention a few selected at ran dom : .Shakespeare—The ancient bust over Shakespeare’s grave at Stratford is painted with hazel eyes and auburn hair and board. This bust has long been considered the most authentic likeness of the poet. Milton is described by Prof. Masson as having “light auburn hair.” Schuler was “pale w t.h auburn hair.” George Eliot had “rich auburn hair.” Of Keats it is said, “His eyes were largo and blue, his hair auburn.” Heine had “long auburn hair and was not of Jewish aspect.” Carlyle had “shaggy reddish hair.” Dr. Johnson’s hair was “carroty.” Cervantes had “oquilino features and chestnut hair.” Alfleri was “tall, thin, pallid, with red hair,” says Rossetti, and Rossetti himself was “auburn-tinted.” Mr. James Russell Lowell’s hair and beard in his younger days were “tinged with auburn.” The post Swinburne has auburnlrnir. Two American Presidents, Thomas Jef ferson and President Tyler, had auburn hair. People with auburn hair, it is seen, walk with a distinguished company. Moreover, it is hardly to be esteemed a mere accident that, auburn hair afld-prtetio genius consort so often together. The explanation of it I conceive to lie this: The possession of rod hair and the marks that, go with it are almost, always the sign of the possession of more than the average stock of vitality. Tho auburn-haired man, it is true, is not usually of stronger physique than his neighbor, but his vitality is more intense, it is more available, less is wasted in mere friction and in overcoming resist ance, so to say; less is wasted in the mere mechanical aud animal ojierations of the body. The sensibilities of auburn-haired people, it is frequently observed, are keener and more delicate, their moral and esthetic emotions are more quickly touched, the play of their faculties is more rapid than those of other people. Often, it must be confessed, tnis quality is carried to excess, and the character becomes morbid and over-sensi tive. This fact undoubtedly explains much of the popular feeling toward red-headed people. They are touchy aud iixitable, and it is often hard to comprehend their actions. For they are of the race of the poets and artists, and are, as I have shown, above aristocrats by birth— na ture’s aristocrats. In her notfel, “Friends, a Duet,” Elizabeth stuart Phelps has very subtly exixwed the secret of tliis temperamont. “Noranall,” she writes, “knew that he had auburn hair and eyos to match it, and that he might, any day make an outrageous blunder. • He was learned to analyze teuip'ramont, which is either a man’s first friend or deadliest foe." Thut is the secret of it. The auburn haired temperament is given to extremes. It seldom follows the beaten oath. It is ardent aud Intense, os nature male ft and meant it to be. Wby should the rest of the world quarrel with it that it is not even such a one as itself? She Had a Large Elegant Head. From the Boston Courier. ‘‘There,” said the young wife, turning from tho mirror to her husband and giving him a sWcet smile, “what do you think of these bangs, Charles? Do they become me?” Charles, who was at that moment engross ed in the task of reckoning up the total cost of bon neb, bangs, dreiwwf and so forth, an swered with a clouded brow; “I should think you would be ashamed to ask such a question, Mary. Your vanity is becoming absolutely insufferable.” “Charles," she aud in a tremulous voice, “if lam vain it is for you. You would not love me if I was u slattern and a dowdy. It Is for your sake that I try to make myself as attractive as possible." Having said this slve burst into tears Then Charles arose and gathered her into his arms and kissed her fondly;sad said: “Your bangs are lovely, dear, and you are lovely, ami if all wives were as ne*t and desirous of attracting the admiration of their husbands as you are there would lie a great deal more conjugal happiness in the world than there is at present. There, my love. Now forgive me for my rudo ness." Dr. Sago’s Catarrh Remedy surpasses all. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENT A WORD.
