seems to be the right man in the right
place.
Mr.. Covington called a special
meeting of MS committee on last week

deceased members of Congress-
After general discussion of the sub-
Ject the sargeant-at-arns was informed
that hereafter in passing upon the ex-
penses incurred by the congressional
committees in attending funerals of
deceased members no allowance would
be made by the committee for what is
usually termed luncheon " in the

break up, if possible, the custom that
has heretofore prevailed of making fu-

Some years ago there was law in

law was repealed.

scarce as hardly to be taken into
account, but the hawk still remains in
considerable force, especially a cold
