GEN. OROSVENOR OF OHIO Known as "Old Arithmetic* and Others to Quit Public Life. By E. C. Snyder. Washington, March 19.—The sixtieth congress, which will be elected on Nov. 6 and which will come into being on March 4, 1907, gives promise ot be ing notable in many ways. Particular ly notable will it be in the absence of a number of distinguished republicans who, for reasons of choice, or by the will of nominating conventions, re tire to the shades of private life. "Old Arithmetic." First and foremost of those whose Absence w.ill occasion much comment is "Oid/ Arithmetic" Charles Henry Grosvenor of Ohio. The pitcher in his -case went once too often to the well and a younger man than Grosvenor, who has camped on his trail for years, Alfred Douglas of Chilllcoth#, will suc ceed the grizzled veteran from Athens, Ohio. Mr. Douglas is but 50 as against 'Grosvenor's 73. He 1b a lawyer, ,an •orator of considerable ability and a pugnacious fighter. Hltt of Illinois. Robert Roberts Hltt, who has served in the lower house continuously since the forty-eighth congress, has volun tarily decided to relinquish the cares of public life and his place in thp six tieth congress will be filled by sonie other republican, to be selected by the electors of the Thirteenth Illinois. During his almost twenty-five years of service in tlie -"people's forum," Mr. Hltt has been one of the strong men of that body. During the years he has been chairman of foreign affairs many of the great reforms in the consular service have been brought about. He was in charge of the bill that declar ed war against Spain and his public utterances have shown vast research, close analysis and wise statesmanship. Robert Hitt goes out of congress one of the best beloved of men, having the .sincere respect of the entire member ship of the lower house. Ill health and a desire to enjoy his remaining years either in some diplomatic capa city abroad or in the quietude of his old home in the "Sucker state" are the impelling forces which terminate a splendid legislative career. Sibley of Pennsylvania. One of the picturesque figures of the fifty-ninth congress, Joseph Crockfer -Sibley of Pennsylvania, will be miss ing when the roll of the sixtieth con gress is called. VaHgated as has been ^Sibley's politics, It Is not more kaledlo scopic than has been his career as a man of affairs. Sibley is of right one of the "captains of industry" and there Is no man in the house who enjoys a larger popularity. Sibley was a free ailverite and quasi democrat, when he thought that he would like to repre sent the Twenty-eighth district of Pennsylvania in congress as a repub lican. Without the batting of an eye Joe Sibley switched fron) democracy to republicanism and was-elected, tak ing a seat In the fifty-seventh congress as a member of the dominant party. Before that, at intervals, Sibley served In the house as a democrat, having been a member of the fifty-third and fifty-sixth congresses*. "Joe Sibley" is .a farmer and stock raiser, but his chief business at present, and has been for some years past, is a manufacturer of lubricating oils under the aegis of the S fe! ,*• Standard Oil company. He knowB a hundred things better than most any body. He is a statesman who loves his ease a sportsman who plays fair, and a friend in both clear and cloudy weather. Sibley would rather take an automobile tour throughout Spain than be one of "Uncle Joe" Cannon's "boys," and he, too, quits with the close of the present congress. v:rl- Lattaaer «f Bfew York. "It has been my Intention for some time to retire from' congress at the end .of my present term/' said Repre sentative Littaner today, ''but I was. not aiilous to have the announcement made at this time and I am not realy to tell nky constituents the reason* which actuate me."

MANY EPICURES ARX Among National Legislators—Rivalry In Giving Rare Banquets. Br E. C. Snyder. Washington, D. C., March 19.— For years dinner giving at the capl tal has been "the proper caper" on the part of those who know the relative value of good things to eat and good things to drink. Of late years, how ever, the "good things to drink" have been eliminated and nothing but still waters and possibly an occasional botr tie of "pop" or "ginger beer" can be had in the confines of the senate tea house restaurants. Both the good liv ers who enjoy the strange, rare and unusual things, to say nothing of thtf good cooking of the unual things, are much in evidence. Just who of the Minnesota delegation introduced the annual moose dfaaer is not recalled. When Congressman. Eddy was here, the man who said he was not double faced because nobody would go around with a face like his If he had another, he gave the annual moose dinner for the Minnesota delegation. A moose dinner seems to be of late years as sociated with the Minnesota contin gent in congress. Be that as it may. Congressman Halvor Steenerson, "a Swede man" from Crookston, enter tained his colleagues of the Minnesota delegation together with the two rep resentatives from North Dakota, a congressional friend here and there and several newspaper men serving papers in the northwest at the annual moose dinner last week and one of the most delightful feasts was the result of Mr. Steenerson's advisory cooking. The courses before and after the roast of moose were subordinated to the de licious morsel which was cooked to a turn by Warren Coffin, the boniface of the House restaurant. Dock and Terrapin. One of the most celebrated epicures ever in the house of representatives or the senate was the late Charles Gibson, of Maryland. Coming from the eastern shore, famous for its can vas back duck and diamond back ter rapin, he took especial delight in en tertaining his friends with these deli cacies so palitable to the epicure and the gourmet. For years Mr. Gibson made it an annual custom to enter tain twenty or more of his associates and friends at a terrapin and canvas back dinner in the House of Represen tatives restaurant When Senator Dolph was in the sen ate from Oregon he and his colleagues in the house took pains to import from the waters of the Columbia river some of the finest salmon that could be pro cured and when the fish arrived the capitol cooks were kept busy in pre paring a fish dinner to which Invita tions were always eagerly sought, A Mushroom Diet. Tom Updegraff of Iowa often ex pressed the opinion that if the men ot the southern army had only been prop erly educated as to the value of mush rooms as an article of diet they could have held out against the northern forces twice as long as they did. Mr. Updegraff has personal knowledge of more than a hundred edible varieties of the fungus and it was a frequent custom of his to spend the mornings in the fields and the woods and to bring back great baskets of all sorts of odd looking "champignons," which expeditions were invariably followed by a mushroom luncheon. At first Mr. Uudegraff had difficulty In indnoinp his colleagues to risk a & mmfciis Kv ...fggxisr&d '"7 *^^11 ^1 till teBt I ,vjl 'f| I of his dishes, but after awhile he had diffi culty in supplying the demands, so eager were those who had once tasted the dishes, for a second invitation. A Crank oa (fatten. The late representative Hatch ot Missouri was a farmer who believed that if the American people really knew what real mutton is they would abandon beef for sheep meat. "In the first place," said Mr. Hatch, "the breed is important, and in my judgment the southdown outranks any of them. Then for perfection of mutton the mal should be a wether and should be five years old, for a sheep does not reach maturity until his fifth year. But the most important consideration is the time between the shambles and the cooking range. Mutton should he h^ng for at least three weeks in a tem^ perature just above the freezing point after It has been slaughtered." to demonstrate that he knew Just what he was talking about, Mr. Hatch just 4 ilL
