Mr. Churchill, from the Committee on
Elections, made report in the Virginia
contested election case that Mr.. Whittle-
sey was not entitled to seat and Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, sitting member is. Report agreed
to.
Curious Pension Case from Ten
I nessees
Several bills granting pensions were re-
ported from the Committee on Invalid
Pensions and passed. A bill reported was
to restore pension to Mrs. II. L. Bybee,
Of Tennessee, she having been deprived Of
it because she could not take the test oath.
II appears from the report that she was q
daughter of John Adair, Revolutionary
soldier, afterward Governor of Kentucky,
and that she was the widow of Col W. p.
Anderson, soldier in the war of 1912
who died of wounds received in war.
Pending discussion,
The House proceeded to the considera-
ton of business of the District of Colum-
bia. The bill to pave Pennsylvania

Hardly fortnight is allowed to pass with
out an unsteady demonstration from this
Senator The latest occurred yesterday,
when that distinguished man made vain
attempt to get the ear of the Vice Presi-
dent. The failure so worried him as to
produce a series Of rather comical orations
and gesiculations TO the statesmen in his
immediate vicinity. Notwithstanding the
assertion of the Vice President that he had
not heard the Senator, Yates made a
square issue. He was, however, finally
prevailed upon to subside which he did in
a patronizing way TO those around him,
assuring them that in respect for them only
would he consent tc waive his claims to
recognition from the presiding officer.

: The Wrong Man Poultioed.

At n famous and fashionable watering
place. gentleman one night was sudden
iy seized in bed with an excrllciating pain
in the stomach, which neither brandy,
No. 6, nor any other remedy could re-
move. His wife, after trying number
OF things in vain, and having exhausted
all her stock of medicines, left her hus-
bands bedside for the purpose of getting
n warm application. Guided on her re-
turn by light which she saw shining In
n chamber. and which she supposed was
the one Just left. and was not little sur
prised to find her patient apparently In q
deep slumber. However, thinking he
might still be suffering, she gently raised
the bcd-clothes, &c, and laid the scalding
poutice upon stomach-but not the
stomach of her husband, which no sooner
touched the body of the person than he,
greatly alarmed, and writhiRg under the
torture of the burning application, shout
ed: Halo! halo! what in tho name OF
heaven and earth are you about therep
then, with one spring from his bed, he
made for the door, and rushing down
stairs, declared in n frenzy Of excitement,
that some one had roured shovel OF hot
Goals upon him. The woman, overcome
with excitement and alarm, gave frantic
screams wGich brought her husband hur.
riedly in from the next room to her res
cue. The husband was so much excited,
and also so much amused with the singu-
lar mistake, and the ridiculous position Of
his better half, that he forgot allhis pains;
but early next morning he, his wife and
trunks. left for parts unknown. The poul-
ticed gentleman still retains the handker-
chief-a beautiful linen fabric, with the
lady's name on 1t, which he considers Of
rare value.
