Last week, buttoned tightly into his impeccable cutaway, he moved about the diplomatic reception with stiff-necked majesty.

Wearing a cutaway, striped trousers and congress gaiters, carrying a silk hat and a hickory stick, "ex-Senator" Coleman went grinning on to the floor, assisted by two young Negroes. There he answered questions: "I was born July 7, 1845 and belonged to Mr. Ely Coleman at Chester." His pay as Senator: "It was regular. I got some more when I voted fuh some of the bills."
