VOL. 1, NO. 63
Sixtieth Congress Will Mi««
Several Prominent
Legislators.
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."
A great majority of the members
of both house* are lawyers. The ex
ceptions to the rule are generally busi

St Petersburg, March 19.—As elec

evidence of virtual exclusion from
participation of the radical elements

of the elections will rob the national

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

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

after It has been slaughtered."
