*
gret her.
Washington totter In Chicago Times.
Of all the peculiar and picturesque fig
ures iu congress none is more so than
Holman of Indiana. Mr. Holman is a
lloosier by birth. His cradle tvhs rooked
In Dearborn county in 1522. He was a
pioneer baby. And he sta.yed right there
and grew up with Indiana. Holman and
Indiana were young at the same time—
they were playmates; so no wonder they
think well of each other. The old watch
dog is now 71 years old. In looking over
his history it would seem as if Holman
was what one might term, subject to
office —caught office, in fact, like other
folks catch colds. He was made probate
judge in 1843, when he was 21. In 1847 he
gave up the judgeship to become prose
cuting attorney. At the close of his term,
1850. he went as a member of the consti
tution al convention of the state. In 1851,
having tinkered up the organic law, lie
concluded to go to the legislature and
con tinue the good work on the statutes.
JUDGE AND CONGRESSMAN.
He abode in the legislature but briefly,
sad in 1852 turned up as judge of the
court of common pleas. Ho performed as
judge for four years and then branched
put for congress. This was in the misspent
uays of James Buchanan. Holman was
in congress during the first mutterings of
coming civil war He was there when
the states seceded and armies held the
field. His record shows him on the
House rolls during the Thirty-sixth,
Thirty-seventh, Thirty-eighth, Fortieth,
Forty-first: Forty-second, Forty-third,
Forty-fourth, Forty-seventh, Forty
eighth, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first,
Fifty-second, and Fifty-third congresses.
Flow and then as one scans his career
one finds a congress missing, like a broken
tooth, but he makes a great display.
When Holman finishes the present con
gress he will have witnessed twenty
eight active years in the House. That
means a heap of history.
STORIES OF HOLMAN.
They tell a great many stories of Hol
man. Once wlien Gov. Thomas Critten
den was a member of the House he had a
bill to reduce the tolls on some canal
which cut across some bend and abbrevi
ated the Mississippi somewhere. I think,
on the storm-beaten shores of £owa.
Crittenden wanted the tolls on this canal
let down a national peg or two. Holman
didn’t. It would worry both of them
now to. tell why in either case, but that’s
the way they felt then. Crittenden felt
indignant at Holman’s opposition to the
bill. He clung to a theory that Holman
ought to confine his energies to Indiana
ana not to lavish himsolf all over several
states and territories. He told Holman
so. hut the watchdog spurned his narrow
ing view. No pent-up Utica for Holman.
He would oppose the canal reduction
measure with tooth and claw. But when
all was said and done Crittenden was con
siderable of a fox himself. He was on
the pension committee. And be it
woefully written, Holman was always—is
still —more adicted to pension legislation
than any man in the House. Of the 187
towering millions of annual pensions un
der which the government now staggers
and stumbles, Watchdog Holman can lay
his paw on his breast aud say: “I did
more to pile that up than any five men
who ever gave their party war-whoop in
the House of representatives.” And at
the time Crittenden was a eanaler Hol
man was sticking in private pension bills
as one might feed grain to a thrasher.
So Crittenden began to plot. As fast as
one of Holman's bills was referred to the
committee Crittenden would signify his
willingness to look into it and it would be
referred to hint. No one objected, of
course. The rest were only too lazily
willing to see him do the work.
When he had collected enough of Hol
man’s pension bills to stuff a bedtick he
sought that sagacious Hoosier. They
spoke as follows:
Crittenden—Holman, next suspension
day I think I’ll call up my canal bill.
Holman (with a dark, suggestive shake
of the head)—l’ll have to oppose that bill,
Crittenden. That’s a bad bill.
Crittenden—You’ve no business to op
pose that bill, judge. It’s 800 miles west
of you—’way out of your stamping ground.
How I want you to keep your shovel out.
Holman (doggedly)— Can’t ho it, Crit
tenden.
Crittenden—Let me tell you something,
Judge. I'm on the pension committee.
You’ve introduced at least forty pension
bills. I've made it my business to get
possession of every one of them. If you
dure to interfere with my canal measure
you can rest assured that not a single
pension bill of yours shall see the House
light..
Holman (looking aghast)—Why, my
gracious! Crittenden, dear me! (The
old gentleman is always tamely plaintive
m his abjugatlons.) That wouldn't be
right!
Crittenden—lt would comb as near be
ing right as your getting In the way of
m.V canal scheme.
Holman (after a lugubrious pause)
w ell, Tom, lots of times I’m not in the
Louse when these bills come up.
Crittenden—You can suit yourself,-
judge, about beingin the House. But this
you can be sure of: If you come pestering
around that canal bill of mine you can
Five it as the reason to the old soldiers of
.’ our district why they didn't get the
pensions you promised them the last time
they voted for you.
On suspension day, as one proposition
after another came fluttering from ttie
Louse traps to be banged at, hit or mins,
as the case might, prove, Holman uneasily
ottered up and down the aisle to and from
tno speaker's'desk, keeping watchful eye
on the speaker's list of men who were to
be recognized, so as to know Just when
Crittenden would be reached. At last,
.aid before the Missourian was recognised,
Holman scooted safely out of the House to
room. Here he kept liini
b' -- '|Uite busy for fifteen minutes. He
wanted to give. the baleful Crittenden
l’ l ' aty of time. At last he returned. In
a moment or so, and as if the thought had
just smote him, he called over to Crittc-n
--' , ! l in tones of anxiety: “By the way,
1 nttenden, what was done with your
canal bill f”
"It passed ten minutes ago.’’
"It did.’ ’replied Holman as if pained
and amazed. “Why I’m sorry about that;
t wanted to oppose that bill.”
bad a little
r V 3 l t .S CSBiO . n Holman had a semi-pri
;Uu bill asking for a small appropriation.
*t was just exactly the breed of bill Hol
fl:a.n always fought. So he went guile-
T an '.* as ked another member to in
. roauce it for him. This congressional
du k scratching is much practiced. One
■an will introduce a bill for you when
. ou are afraid to do it yourself‘and then
lsome further day when his fingers are
- the dog's inouth you’li do as much for
■mi jt i s convenient and very brotherly
‘d pretty as a custom. So the bill was
readily introduced.
'Next suspension day,” said Holmnn
,! ls , a F eat a Her the bill had been re-
I'u ted back to the House, "suppose you
■■i up that tittle measure I bad you iu
. -'■ I doh’t mu -n think anybody
w ui.oppose it.”
f m ben the bill came up, and Holman's
end was briefly explaining the proposed
measure, the old watch-dog arose and
asked him several questions as to the
purpose aud aim of the bill, aad al. *iVli
the air of a mau who had never heard of
it before in his life. The friend was in
dignant at this exhibition of craft aud
came mighty near unloading the whole
inner history of the transaction right
there. But before he could conclude to
do it Holman sat down with an acqui
escent air, saying as he did so: “Oh, I
guess the bill is all right. I don't care to
oppose it.”
Everybody else naturally concluded that
if Holman would let it get safely by it
must be all right, and the bill cantered
through to victory unchallenged.
“BUT THE CAT CAME BACK.”
Time and time again the republicans
have made desperate rallies against Hol
man. They would get possession of the In
diana legislature and put in a whole ses
sion trying to scheme a gerrymander
which would leave that eminent gentle
man out on a limb. They’ve taken his
district and pulled it and hauled it and
twisted it and turned it, until it looked
like a misspent life. They have had Hol
man with a plain 2,000 against him. But
the old man would go patiently home,
and then tor three or four months one
would hear dimly of Holman, here aud
there among the hoop-poles. When the
votes were counted he would bob
serenely up witli a few safe hundred to
the right side of his books, and back to
congress he’d come. There are republi
cans in the Indiana insane asylum right
now with their reason drifting keel up, a
total wreck, made so trying to invent a
gerrymander which would hold Holman.
One day a fellow member asked Hol
man how he managed it. The old gentle
man took a bite off a plug of navy in a
deprecatory way and replied: “Well, my
district is a peculiar one. You want to
go right among my people. You can’t
run a campaign by telephone out in my
district. You must go among the voters.
And that’s what I do—l go among ’em.
As I travel about I don’t stop at the house
of a democrat, like you would, possibly.
No. I always manage so it gets dark
when I'm right near some republican who
has two or throe sons and maybe a hired
man or so. I’m a common sort of a man,
and naturally I set up arid talk with the
old man and the boys before we go to bed.
I never speak of politics to ’em. They
get around to that themselves. Even
then I don't say anything about myself:
I tell ’em all about congress aud Wash
ington and the necessity of keeping ex
travagant and dishonest legislation from
looting the treasury. Frequently we sit
up until midnight. In the morning, just
before I ride away to where I’m going to
speak, the old man will say something
like this: ‘Well, jedge, I reckon I'll hitch
up and come over and hear you talk some
to-day. I’ve been a republican all my life
and never scratched a ticket, but I be
lieve I’ll do it just ouce for you and see
what happens.’ That’s one way I do.''
concluded’ Holman, thoughtfully. “Of
course, I have other ways, too.”
THE WOMAN ANARCHIST.
Career of Emma Goldman, Who
Preaches Pistols and Dynamite.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Emma Goldman’s career in this coun
try dates hack eight years. She is about
27 years old, and her father is a poor
tailor at Moona, Russia. Sue received
little or no education, and in her youth
heard nothing of anarchism or its kin
dred theories. Shortly after coming to
this country she married a mau named
Gruenbaum, with whom she lived for a
year and a half at Rochester, N. Y.
While in Rochester she met Louis
Bernstein, one of the most radical aud
best-read anarchists of New York. She
followed Bernstein to New York, and
such an influence had his teachings upon
her mind that she insisted on joining the
Jewish Pioneers of Liberty, a prominent
group of anarchists. She 1 soon became
violent in her doctrines. She drooped
her husband's name and failed herself
Goldman, her maiden name. She was
the only woman member of the Pioneers
and startled even Most’s followers by the
violence of her doctrines. She got the
floor on every occasion and preached the
extreme form of anarchy.
The Pioneers expelled her after a three
weeks’ membership, because, in the
opinion of the group, she narmed the
cause much more than she helped it. It
was at one of the meetings of the Pioneers
that Emma mot Alexander Bergmann.
She was then rather pretty. Bei'gmann
succeeded Bernstein as her anarchist
teacher and fell in love with her.
ANARCHY TOO SLOW FOR HER.
She next got under the wing of Herr
Most by joining the International Arbeiter
Association, tho German group of an
archists. Most and Emma became fast
friends and articles signed by her began
to appear in Most's weekly. Die Freiheit.
It was generally understood among an
archists that Emma did not write the
articles, because she couldn’t, and that
Most allowed the use of her name because
it nattered her. She had a personal quar
rel with Most, and on Dec. 18 of last year,
as he was about to speak at Odd Fellow's
hall, she ran on the platform and struck
him repeatedly with a whip.
Bergmann’s shooting of Frick split tho
anarchists in New York, and Emma
Goldman, who was disliked by the con
servatives, joined the autonomists, who
style Most and his fellows "milk and
water” anarchists. Bergmann belonged
to the auti-Most wing, aud he and Emma
became inseparable.
Emma and her friends were not daunted
by the news that they might be arrested
for being implicated in the shooting of
Frick. She was arrested in Baltimore
while on a speaking tour in behalf of
Bergmann. Her trip to Pittsburg to see
him last Thanksgiving day gave her con
siderable notriety, though she paid the
penalty when she returned to New York,
as for months she wanted for the neces
sities of life. Though half starved at
times she continued to make speeches.
She speaks English, German und Russian,
but not correctly. She is, at all times,
sensational, and is always forcing herself
forward.
As an autonomist Emma Goldman is
opposed to every form of government.
Autonomists are thirsts and do not be
lieve In marriage. The socialists and the
anarchists of the Most group call Emma
Goldman an ignoramus. They do not
credit her with any sincerity, and saj r
she has an unquenchable desire for
notoriety.

MADE HIGH BY ONE SONG.
The Youtrw and Successful Author of
“After the Ball.”
From the New York Advertiser.
Milwaukee, Sept. I.—lt is a matter of
more thau passing interest that a Mil
waukee boy has broken the record, in
these record breaking days, as a song
writer, publisher and seller. Everybody
nowadays is singing, ‘‘After the Ball.”
The chorus —
After the ball is over, after the break of morn,
After the dancers’ leaving, after the stars
are gone,
Many a heart is aching, if you could read
them all.
Many the hopes that nave vanished, after the
ball—
is heard everywhere, and is probably the
most successful song of the century, over
800,000 copies having been sold. It is said
that no other song ever sold to so largo
an extent, and it is certainly a fact that
no other song over netted its composer a
fortune in a few months’ time.
The storyof thissong, ‘‘Aftertheßall.”
Is full of human interest The words
and music were composed by Charles K.
Harris iu a few hours, and the most re
markable thing of all, outside of its pop
ularity, is that tne composer
doesn’t know one musical note
from another! Harris is of Hebrew
extraction, is twenty-eight years of age,
is self-educated aqd is the composer of at
least twelve ballads that are now riding
the top-most wave of popularity. He is
of small stature, with red hair and blue
eyes, and bad eked out the usual every
day existence until a few months ago as a
teacher of the banjo. To-day beds one of
the rich men of Milwaukee and Is enjoy
ing an income of over 81,000 a day from
the sales of ‘‘After the Ball.”
Harris has struggled with all the phases
of poverty, but one morning about six
months ago he awoke to find himself fa
mous.
The composer showed mo a record of
forty amusement enterprises that were
using his song as a feature of their en
tertainments. It was first brought to
public notice by a member of Hallen &
Hart's company late in the spring. Its
refrain lias traveled around the world
and is now being sung everywhere. Go
where you may, you can't get out of its
reach. It has beeu dubbed the Colum
bian song of the world's fair, and one has
heard nothing else there. The bands
have played it, the soloists have sung it
and even the Dahomeyans and Nubians
of the Midway who can’t speak a word
of English and the dancing girls of the
Persian and Algerian theaters have
learned to hum the tuno.
That almost a million copies have been
printed and sold is no surmise or matter
of guesswork. I called on Mr. Harris,
the composer, yesterday, and he verified
this remarkable statement by showing'
me his order books and casti receipts.
Leading dealers are ordering the song in
6,(K)iJ lots, and Mr. Harris’ income has
averaged for several weeks $1,200 a day
from the sale of his song.
Harris told me, and I now give for the
first time the simple story of how the
song was written. Last March the Mil
waukee bicyclers were preparing to give
an amateur entertainment. Sam Doctor,
a local singer, called on Harris one morn
ing about a week before the show aud
asked him to write him a song. Harris
had attended a ball in Chicago the night
before and was lying on a sofa in his
office when Doctor called. “I am too
tired, Sam,” said Harris, to try to do
anything just now. lam suffering from
the fatigue ot after the ball.” Doctor
urged his claims, and finally Harris con
sented to compose something for his
friend. I will tell the rest of the story
iu his own language.
“The woi'ds of my reply, ‘After the
ball,’ kept ringing in my ears, and I quick
ly recognized that I had a catchy title for
a song. I thought out the verses, and lit
tle by little the tune came to me, aud I
fitted the words to it. Finally the whole
thing developed, and it came to me like an
inspiration. I hurried to a music house
anil ascertained that no music had been
published bearin'.' the same or similar
title to‘After the Ball.’ Then I sent for
Joseph Claudcr. the orchestra leader, and
picked out the piece on the piano for him
—I can't read or write music, but I cun
play anything by ear —and 1 asked him if
he could write it down for me. Clander
can grasp and write music as quickly as a
stenographer cun take a dictation, and iu
an hour or so I had the words and music
of 'Alter the Ball’ on paper.
“Well. I gave the manuscript to Doctor
and after rehearsing it he snug it for the
first time at the amateur minstrel show.
I sat way back in the house, very nervous
over the outcome. Doctor sang two
verses finely and got tremendous ap
plause. This staggered him and he forgot
the third. I left the house chagrined and
mortified. I threw the manuscripts in a
drawer with a lot of rubbish, fully deter
timed never to publish or look at it again.
But the people who heard it remembered
the tune and it grew on them. I beard
boys whistling it a few days later. Some
Chicago visitors carried it to that city’,
and I had two or three inquiries for it.
Two weeks later Ditson of Boston or
dered ten copies. I don’t know how it
had got that far out. This order induced
mo to publish the song, and the result is
known. To-day I had a telegraphic order
from this same Boston houso for 5,000
copies. I expect the circulation to touch
the million mark early in September. 1
keep two printing houses at work oa my
music, and my bills for press work arc
$5,000 per month.”

THAT FAMOUS OPERATION.
Mr. E. C. Benedict Tell. Precisely
Whit CVcorred Aboard of Hft
Yacht. >
From ihe New York World
Banker E. C. Benediot, the close per
sonal friend of President Cleveland, made
a statement yesterday to a representative
of The World regarding the oorurrem'es
aboard the steam yacht Oneida July 1
last. Mr. Benediot has heretofore re
mained silent on the subject To all in
quirtes concerning the President and the
operation which was said to have been
performed upon him on board the Oneida
Mr. Benedict has heretofore answerod
that lie had nothing to say.
"Too much has been said and printed
about the matter,” said Mr. Benedict
yesterday. "If the same operation that
was performed lqion President Cleveland
had been performed upon you or me, not
one word would have been said, written
or printed about it. The whole thing
didn’t amount to enough to be talked
about. The President wants to have the
matter dropped, and I and his other
friends don’t like to near any more
about it.” „
“Then an operation was performed TANARUS”
asked the reporter.
"Yes, there was, if you call it such,”
was Mr. Benedict's answer.
"Will you please tell me why this op
ertiou was performed aboard the
Oneida!' asked the reporter.
"The matter was discussed,” replied
Mr. Benedict, “and since it was neces
sary to pull one of the President’s teeth,
wo concluded to have it done aboard the
yaeht, where then' was perfect quiet and
where there were fresh air and pood light
in plenty. Rather than sit down in an
old dentist's chnir in a little office in
town on a hot summer day, the President
came aboard my boat and there's all
about that.”
"How was the operation performed?”
inquired The World reporter.
"I don't know,” said Mr. Benedict, his
face becoming very stern all of a suddon;
"I wasn’t there.”
BENEDICT DIDN'T BEF. IT.
"But you were aboard the Oneida at
the time,” said the reporter.
“Y’es, I was.”
“And the operation was performed
while the Oneida was cruising in the
sound at a moderate speed, and while di
rectly off this point?”
"That is right,” said Mr. Benedict.who
explained that the yacht was cruising up
and down the sound, off Greenwich, ap
parently trolling for fish. The water at
the time was unusually smooth.
Mr. Benedict was asked for further de
tails.
"Well,” he said, "at first they removed
one tooth. That's all. I think, they
wanted to pull. Then. I think, a piece of
ihe jaw bone came away, and the second
tooth had to bo extracted. Mr. Cleveland
stood the operation very well.”
"It, has been printed,” said the re
porter.'‘that the President was put to
bed after the operation had been per
formed, and that he slept for thirty-six
hours. Is that true?”
"All bosh!” replied Mr. Bent'diet. "Not
a word of truth in that. Why, lot rue
tell you this, and you can Judge for your
self'whether there can be any truth in
such a report. 1 played cribbuge with
the President the sayie evening. I have
the record of every day's game we
played aboard my yateh now. We played
every day, and the President never
missed a meal.”
PLATE 1) CKIBBAOE THAT NIGHT.
“Did you beat the President playing
cribbuge!" ashed the reporter.
“Did I what!" repeated Mr. Benedict,
emphasizing every word—“beat the Pres
ident playing cribbage? No, indeed. He
beat me every game. He's a tine player.
He beat me badly, too. Now, I hope,”
continued Mr. Benedict, "that, this will
set everybody at ease. I want to say that
the President never was in better health
than he is to-day. The talk about his
having Bright's disease, cancer, and good
ness knows what, is all rot!”
"You should see that man as T saw him
since that time you speak of, standing
in the bo.it two hours before sunrise
with a fishing rod in his hand and with
that powerful right arm of his casting
a line. I have soon the President stand
in the boat all day and fish to bis heart's
content. And the people say that he is
a sick man. i hope your health or my
own health is us perfect to-day as is the
health of the President. Could a sick
man go through all this exercise in an
open boat all day long! We went fishing
and we hauled out fourteen big weak
fish. Not one of them weighed less than
live pounds, and the President personally
caught half of the lot.’’
A Whale That was Heavy with Years.
From the Philadelphia Press.
