g PAGESIN CONGRESS.
Reed Has Mpde Some Radical Change]
from tlie'Old Customs. .
"Times have changed since I went '
into the House,” said a man who served
as page in the House of Representa-
tives, in his boyhood days. They were
much better then to the page than they
are now in many different points of
View. .
“The pay of a page in both the House
and the Senate, as Its pretty generally
known, is $2.50 per day. During the
long sessions, the boy has a chance to
make something extra, or at least he
used to. This has been done away
with, though, to a. certain extent.
“When the Representatives had no
private secretaries, or when they had
to pay for them out of their own pock- ;
ets, the pages used to make consider—
able on 'the side by working for the
Representatives, helping to mail their
documents, writing for ‘t'fie‘r’n and doing
various kinds of work. Since the bill
was passed granting the Representa-
tives private secretaries, of course, this
has all changed. '
“Nowadays, the pages can’t even lis-
ten to the debates, and have a chance
"to learn something that way, as was
formerly the case. Since Mr. Reed’s
second term as Speaker, he has made
a great revolution in this respect.
“Now the pages are cooped up in
quarters in the cloakrooms on either _
It is a regular hotel ,
side of the House.
bell—boy arrangement. Instead of
clapping their'hands, as they used to
do, the Representatives, when they
want a page, simply touch a button.
This rings a bell in the pages’ rooms.
There is an electric annunciator, which
is the same as used in hotels for the
bell—boys, so that it can be told directly
where the page is wanted. ‘
“I understand they are going still
further to make the arrangement savor
of the bell-boy position, as there is talk
of uniforming the pages.
“When I first went in, they had two
chief pages, who got $1,000 salary, who
were supposed to 100k after the others. !
Now, as the boys sit on the long bench—
.es in the corners of the cloakrooms,
they are watched by an overseer, as he
is called, who receives a salary of $900. =
He watches the annunciator, and when '
a. bell rings sends a boy to the desk. So
it is getting more and more like the
hotel system all the time.
“In the Senate, they do not allow
boys over sixteen years of age, but it
makes no difference in the House.

occupy a position as a page. There
are thirty-three in the. House and six— .

are required to wear knee breeches
when they are on duty, but this is not
enforced on the others.”—V‘Vashington

ANDREE’S MESSENGER.
The Bird Was Shot by the Captain of a
‘ . Whaler.
i It may perhaps interest readers to
know some details about the capture of
Andree’s pigeon condensed from the'
report of the captain of the Whaler:
Aiken. On July 15 the Aiken was on
the border of the drift ice, in 80 degrees
44 minutes‘north latitude, 20 degrees 20
minutes east longitude. Between 1 and
2 o’clock in the morning the helmsman
called out to the captain, who was
sleeping in his cabin: "A strange bird
has lighted on the gaff! You must come
and shoot it. It looks so queer!”
The captain, who had been sleeping
soundly, gave a rather rough reply; but
the next moment his curiosity brought
him to his feet and up on deck. The
bird resembled a. ptarmigan; but, as it
was sitting close behind a block, the
captain could not shoot without risk of
injuring the block. So he climbed up
the rigging with his rifle and shot it,
the strange bird falling forthwith into
the sea. The captain commanded the
man on the lookout, in a barrel fasten—
ed near the top of the mast, to come
down and lower a boat and fetch the
bird. The man objected to taking so
much trouble for a miserable little bird,
which probably was of no uga.
So the captain went to bed again, and
the bird'was left in the water.
ing sailed for some distance, following
the ice, the Aiken met. with another
whaler.
strange bird, the captain of the second
Whaler xclaimed:
“Perhaps it is one of ’Andree’s carrier
pigeons.” ' /
The captain of the Alken, who did
not know about Andrea’s ascension, at
once returned to the region where the
bird was shot and sent out two boats
for a careful search. After a 'while
one of the boats returned, having been
lucky enough to find “the strange bird,”
which, indeed, proved to be one of the
carrier pigeons, carrying a dispatch.
The bird had flown about 120 mi.es
from the balloon toward Stockholm,
and 24 miles north again, from the
nearest land to the Whaler, on the gaff ,
of which it sat down, so utterly tired
that it at once put its head under its
wing until it was shot. It could, of
ccUrse, have easily been caught alive,
if the captain had known that it was a
carrier pigeon—Century Magazine.
How “'e Impressed the Celestial.
This is how‘s. Chinese visitor in this
country describes the Americans in a
Chinese paper: “They live months
without eating a mouthful of rice; they
eat bullocks and sheep in enormous
quantities; they have to bathe fre-
quently; they eat meat with knives and
prongs; they never enjoy themselves by
sitting quietly on their ancestors’
graves, but jump around and kick balls
as if paid to do it,’ and they have no
dignity, for they may be found walking
with women.”—New York Tribune.

' THE OREGON WITH THE FLEET.
Reception Last Sunday by Roar-Admiral
Sumpwm'b squaaron.
Key West, Fla", June 3.-—The Uni-
ted States battleship Oregoh joined the
fleet Sunday morning, finishing the
most remarkable long distance cruise
in the history of modern ironclads.
Her reception by the fleet was wor-
thy of her achievement. Corning along
at a fifteen-knot speed, she swept in
a majestic semi-circle through the
fleet to a. point opposite the- flagship,
cheering sailors manning rthe sides of
.each vessel as she passed. .
The fleet was on the lookout for her,
and when, almost at noon, there loom-
ed _up a gray hulk on the northwest
horizon, there was vigorous wigwag-
ging from ship to ship,
She had a decided list to port from
hastily filled bunkers that there had
been no time to trim since dashing in
and out of Key West for fuel.
The big fighter slowed down to a
majestic pace. and then the noise
arose. Rank upon rank of white clad
sailors broke into :‘ells, which came
over half a mile against the wind, and
the crew of the Oregon sent them back
with interest.
As the Oregon gilded between the
flagship and the Indiana. the latter's
band swung into the “Washington
Post" march. Then the exchange of.
,visits began, and the officers and men
of the Oregon were heartily compli—
mented and welcomed by all.
. HAWAH’S Fle-N DSHIP.
She Has Cast Away All Pretence of Ken-
trality and Becomes Our Ally.
Washington, June 3.—The naval of-
ficials now calculate that Hawaii has
become an ally of the United States
in the present war with Spain and that
at this moment our government is re-
sponsible for the protection of the Ha-
, waiian' Islands from the consequences
‘of their friendshin for us.
According to the calculations, the
United States cruiser Charleston ar-
rived at Honolulu last Saturday. She
has probably conflicted the taking on
board of a full coal supply and is now
again on her way to Manila.
The coal was accumulated at Hono-
.lulu bv United States Consul General
Haywood, and in allowing the cruiser
to take on a supply to carry on oper--
Iations against Spanish territory, the
government of liar-Jail has cast away
all semblance of neutrality in the pres-
ent contest and has thrown in her for-
tunes with the United States, for un-
less we protect her she is subject to
punishment at the hands of Spain.
Moreover, the offence against neu-
trality is to be repeated, for it is ex—
ipected that yesterday the advance
guard of the tansports carrying
troops to Manila entered Honolulu.

ply. ‘
’ GIFTS FOR THE RELIEF.
{Several Donations Received for Fitting
} Out the New Hospital Ship.
New York, June 3.—Ma.jor George
:I-l. Tornev, chief surgeon of the Re—
;lief, has received a number of dona-
l tions for the hospital ship. The Worn-7

{contributed $1,600, to be added to a
Eprevious donation of $300, the entire
amount to be expended in establishing
a carbonating plant on the vessel. The
same association also sent Major Tor-
. ney a check for $250, to be used in sup--
plying the ship with electric fans.
Another donation received was one
' of $500 from the National Relief Asso-
ciation of Colonial Dames. The gift
was made through Surgeon General
iSternberg of the regular army. A
check for $100 was 3.50 received from
EMrs. Julia'K. Benjamin of Garrison.
