papers. 1t is as follows: The Con
gresslonal bucket shop, in the corridor
OF the House ought to be abolished. Its
chief use Is said to be to afford faciii
ties for few speculative Congressmen
to sell the stocks of Pacific railways or
others that are sensitive to legislative
Influences. aud then introduce bills or
resolutions meant to depress the stocks,
and secure profit. While Congress is
threatening TO enact laws against lot
terry advertisements and pool rooms,
attention had better be turned to the
far more demoralizing gambling in
stocks whose value ca a be affected by
legislation, or even by threats of legis-
lation. No bucket-shop business should
be permitted at the Capitol" Several
OF the members have stated that they
INTENDED requesting the editor of the
paper to give them the facts in his pos
session, so that what may become q
great scandal if allowed to continue,
will probably be stopped in a little
while. Deacon" White, the we'll
known Brooklyn mem Der, was so furi-
GUS on the question this morning. that
he called the attention of the House to
paragraph in the New York Tribune,
which charged him with having spe-
clal wire from the Capitol 10 his Office,
so that he might know just when to
strike the market. The House &C
cepted the "Deacon's" statement, and
all was calm IN little while.
Flowers are being very extensively
used in decorating tables at the innu-
merabie banquets which take place here
at this season. The President sets the
fashion in this respect, aud at the state
dinner given to the justices OF the Su-
preme Court the floral besulies were es-
| pecially pretty. The state suite OF
rooms was profusely decorated and
brilliantly lighted for the event The
table was laid for thirty-eight guests in
the state dining-room. The central
Hower piece was Canadian birch bark
| canoe mace of red and pink and white
carnations and filed with marechal
neil roses, the edge being covered with
lilies of the valley. The mirror lake in
which it was anchored was edged with
narrow boxes filed with long stemmed
roses, camelias and carnations. At
each end were the inevitable scales
OF justice. two pieces. The cross

while aZaleaS, and the :AleS were filled
with pink and white carna ions. The
bases were of smilaX, filled with red
roses. at both ends of the table were
cushions o. red tulips, over which were
poised square parasols of lilies of The
valley. The bouquets were La France
roses and the beutonnieres were Papa
Soutier buds. The table decorations
were by long odds the mist artistic of
the year.
Il is safe to suppose that the people
OF Utah are interested in all that pei
tains to the Pacific Coast, and i'll order
