HOAR's HURRY,

Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Sonator Hoar
insists, with somo force, that his resolu-
ton relating TO Southern elections be re-
introduced and passed in order that the
Clayton murder can DO fully investigated
before Congress- assemblies in December.
lie argues that II the investigation Is not
made now, while the facts can DO obtained
with some facility, they are likely never TO
be brought out when period Of time
elapsed sufficient 10 give the assassins an
opportunity TO cover up their work. All
the Republican Senator agree with Mr.
lloar except Senator Ingalls,. lie does not
object 10 the investigation, but thinks the
investigation OF the Clayton episode par
ticularly is a matter that should be left TO
the House as the body affected by the
tragedy. The Democratic Senators unani-
mously oppose the revival OF the resolution
at this time, and unless Senator IIoar can
carry with him all his party associates, II IL
likely TO go over for the time being. II the
elections resolution Is taken up Il II ex.
pectod that It's discussion will occupy two

About the Length of sbe session.

Special Dispatch 10 The Appeal
WAsHISoroN, March 0.--Opinions differ
as 10 the probable length OF the presen,
special session Of the Senate, and Il Is said
that it may be prolonged for several
weeks. 1t is generally understood that
nothing that savors Of legislation can be
accomplished, but resolutions on various
subjects may be proposed, discussed and
probably adopted. Senator Spooner says
he has no desire TO continue the session
any longer than Is absolutely necessary,
but in his opinion Senator Coke's recent
speech on the Southern outrage resolution
should not be allowed TO 10 TO the country
unanswered. In Justice TO the gentleman
whom tho Texas Senator covered all over
with partisan mud, some reply should be
made 10 that portion Of the speech at
least. Senator SpOoner u prepared 10 go
on with the discussion, and he would
have delivered his speech before March 4
had an opportunity presented itself.

"To open Them"

One of the ablest men Maine has ever
sent to the Senate was VIM. Pitt Fessen-
den. In his day there was no more ready
or effective debater, although he was CO.
temporary with Sumner Seward, Hale
and Chase.
He was a famous lawyer in Maine be-
fore he became famous as a statesman,
and appeared on one side or the other of
almost every important case which came
before the Cumberland bar while he prac-
ticed in Portland. His father, Gen. Sam
ue Fessenden, was also keen lawyer,
and it was not an uncommon thing for
father and son to be pitted against each
other in a case.
At one time when they were on oppo-
site sides of a certain suit the younger
man had made some points which his IA
ther could not get around, and, finding
himself cornered, exclaimed angrily
Young man, did not bring you up to
pick my eyes out" !"
"Oh, no, father" was the quick reply,
"not to pick them out, but to open them"

sixty-three mlllionaires, and it is doubtful
if any such cluster of rich persons can be
found in a similarly small suburban ter

Several of these persons have fortunes so
gigantic as to have attracted the attention
Of the entire world. Among the number
are men who are in charge of some Of the
largest railroads, telegraph companies,

Our friend and former townsman, A. w.
Hawks of Baltimore, to free his mind from
his literary pursuits and take spin thro'
the country during the hot season, joined
the noble army of commercial travellers.
We make an extract from letter of his
to the Baltimorcan dated Chambersburg,
Pennsylvania:
In this very beautiful valley the summer
DAYS glide by 50 easily-absorbed in the
beautiful scenery one forgets that 1t Is hot,
fargets all in the beauty of the landscape.
On the valley-ways of earth the Creator
seems TO have lavshed his most bOunteous
gifts. and in our own land the valleys hold
the fairest and best.
The Valley of the Connecticut is very
lovely. The Ohio Valley is fertile and beau
tiful, the Massachusetts Valley is garden
of wonders, but this Cumberland Valley Is
only exceeded in charms by the Valley Of
the Shenandoah.
Well. the valley of the Shenandoah is
the Home Valley; perhaps that has some,
thing to do with it. | love It's very dust and
its people are my people.
But at Chambersburg on the dome of the
Court House, stands William Penn; his
hand extended as he appeared in his great
act of treating the Indians to glass beads.
Below the man of Peace down in the
square very fine fountain is guarded by
bronze boy in blue, of heroic size and bear
ing. No trace of the fire left, save tablet
in front of the Court House giving the date
when it was built the date when it was
burned by the Rebel Army" and the date
of its rebuilding.
To make things even a tablet might be
placed over the homes of Mr.. Andrew Hun
ter, in Charlestown Col. a. r. Boteler. in
Shepherdstown, and others entirely too nu-
merous to mention.
A very marked change from the Virginia
hotels to the Pennsylvania hotels is the
change in walters, from ebony Toms and
mahogany Maries, to pretty James, and Bes.

laps and pink and rosy cheeks, are at first
rather embarrassing.

Rhode Island still enjoys the singular
pre-eminence of being the home of the
elambake. The Rhode Island clambake
is an original production, and to this day
the great masters Of the art of properly
preparing it are the Indians or their de-
scendants.
The best place is wherever access is
easy, CLANS are plentiful, and guests can
be properly cared for. The preparation
consists of slow fire kindled long in adj
vance under and around great boulders or
masses of stones. In the ashes long piles
of clans, alternating with layers Of sweet
potatoes, chickens, green corn and other
vegetables are kept simmering and cook
ing and warm under huge bundles of
clean sea weed, and the cooks, generally
negroes with a good deal Of Indian blood,
and white-aprOned walters rush to and fro,
emptying whole barrels of clans, pOta-
toes, corn, chickens and other ingredients
into the steaming bed of ashes and sea
weed, and carrying off great platters to
the long tables, where crowds of orderly
guests are promptly waited and cared for.
Coothsome Holsters, fresh from the lob
ster pots, good ham, occasionally spring
turkeys, stubble goose, all special Rhode
Island delicacies, brown bread, island
fruit and other seasonable things vary
md increase the bill of fare.
No higher honor than clambake can
be paid to a distinguished visitor, and
when the host has chosen a picturesque
nook, has brought together n small and
well-suited party of guests, and is lucky
enough TO have day neither too hot nor
TOO cold, too bright nor too hazy, there is
not pleasanter outing, no greater enjoy
nent and no more charming memory.
4 clam chowder is discussed, followed by
the CLANS in great platters, half opened
ny the heat. 1t is still matter of much
kill and experience to get them from the
shells, to draw them through the melted
butter dressing, to eat just the right part
and to dispose gracefully of the rest.
Then follow in quick succession and great
profusion the broiled chicken, the sugar
coated ham cut in delicate slices, green
corn, with its silky leaves still coyeringit,
the spring turkey cut into manageable
bits, the sweet potatoes done to turn,
and rapid change of plates, and cups of
all kinds for punch, lemonade and apol-
inaris.

A good story is being told Of an old gen.
tleman who has lived for years at one Of the
Stamford hotels with his family. Several
wears ago his eldest daughter, who was mar
ried died. After a suitable time the bereav-
ed widower asked for the hand Of the next
daughter. Not long afterward he was left
alone again, and again he sought for the hand
of the third daughter Of his old friend. AT
last. when he came for the fourth, the old
man exclaimed:
"Yes, take her; but, hang it all, when
she's gone, what'll you do? You can't have
the old woman. too"

A wholesale dry goods clerk in st. Louis,
