Millionaires fade from Senate in old era reshuffle
The piece laments the loss of wealth in the U S Senate noting deaths and retirements of Elkins Aldrich Hale Kean and others, claiming the body drifted toward poverty. It cites Watson Pollard and a comic tale of judge and mule, then shifts to a Victorian anecdote about music in church and ends with a malaria warning and endorsement of Electric Bitters.
