census bureau. MIR. Townsend was
formerly reporter on the Duluth Par
agrapher, and was also connected with
labor paper in the same town. To-
day Mr., Comstoek presented several
private pension bills. A bill for the re-
lief of certain Sioux scouts, who re-
manned loyal in 1862, will also be pre-
sented at an early date. 1t will be re-
membered that under all order of the in
terror department, issued about two
years ago, settlers located on indemnity
lands of the Northern Pacific railroad.
Many of them proved up on their lands.
which were afterwards declared the
property of the Northern Pacific, being
situated in its grant. For the relief of
these settlers Mr. ComStock has bill in
preparation.
An attempt will be made to form a
new land district in Minnesota, with
headquarters at Fergus Falls. The ter
ritOry covered by this Office will be
districts. The necessity for this parti-
ton has arisen through the opening of
so much Indian land to settlement, and
the prospective opening of so much
more will make this new district an inl-
perative necessity.

HOW ACCOMPLISHMENTS LIVE. 90
Senator Washburn has tired of living
at the Arlington. He had handsome
suite of rooms there, but never thought
he would be really comfortable. After
some looking around he has found
house that suits him at No. 1915 K street
northwest. The house is large four
story building built Of red brick. and
has small lawn in front surrounded by
iron ratings. The front windows look
out into the square, which, is filled with
: shade trees. His next-doOr sneighber is
Senator Sherman The rent begins on
Dec. Is, so he will probably be settled
down by Christmas. Mrs. WaShburn
and her family are still in Europe, and
are not expected to return before next
spring. Great disappointment is eX-
pressed at this in social circles, as they
were very popular when the senator was
in congress before. Their entertain
ments were unsurpassed for elegance,
and they will be much missed. Senator
Pettigrew and his family have moved
into
THEIR NEW HOUSE
which the senator has leased for two
years. Tt is on b street northeast and
is a really magnificent place, with three
stories and a tower, large rooms and
every modern improvement. The only
objection to it is its location. so far
away from the social center. 1t is con-
venient to the capitol, however, and
there are several pretty nice people liy-
ing on Capitol hill. One block from
the house is Senator Ingalls, magnifi-
cent white stone mansion, while right
across the square is Ben Buffers place.
Senator Moody has also chosen Capitol
hill for his residence. He is at No. 10
b street northeast, while his c0adjutOr
is at No. 100.
Senator Davis has leased q fine house
on Massachusetts avenue in the most
fashionable part OF the city. The en-
trance is up long flight of steps, and
there is neat little garden in front.
While the senator

friends and has warm welcome for
all which gives the pleasant impression
that he is glad to see you. is house is
tastefully decorated and richly fur
nished. Over this beautiful home Mrs.
DAVIS reigns, by far the most beautiful
object in it.
Capt. and Mrs. Sniderhave pleasant
suit of rooms on the ground floor of a
large private house on Ell street. When
ever they get an opportunity they run
down to New York, where they are at
the time of writing.
Mr.. and Mrs, S. &. Comstock have
their family with them, consisting of
several young children. They live at
l4t6 K street northwest, large and
fashionable private boarding house.
When congress adjournS Mr.. COmstock
HES himself home, where he spends all
his spare time. Opportunities furnished
by an adjournment for day or two are
utilized by him in taking his family for
little excursions into the country. On
Friday last they spent the day at Mount
Vernon, returning home tired, but
happy.
Mir. and Mrs. Mark Fl. Dunnell live
quietly at the National hotel, where
they have two rooms, one utilized as
parl0r and the other as bed room and
office.
Mr.. and Mrs. Darwin S. Hall live at.
9O5 G street, n. W.. where they have
the ground floor to themselves. :
John Lind lives at the National hotel.
I'll. C. HansDrough of North Dakota, has
rooms in the Riggs annex, and eats in

kota, lives at 8O7 Twelfth street, N. w.
He has been considerably under the
weather lately, being confined to great
extent to the house. His eyes have

of Wyoming, are very intimate with
them socially.
Owing to the fact that almost all the
Northwestern members are new ar
rivals, they have scarcely had time to
get acquainted socially. Nothing is go
ing on in society and nothing may be
expected until after the holidays, when
the wild whirl of January festivities
will begin in earnest its gyrOscopic rev.
