He wasted no time IN useless conversation, but

with undoubted relish Nor was it pick here
and taste there. He ate well and there was
not much left upon the platters when
they were removed from before him
At only one time during the meal did he ex,

him. That was when u pudding, made OF the
cocoa upon which he has toasted since his first
cup Saturday night, was put upon the table
He evidently didn't like this. He looked at it
for awhile, turned his eyes appealingly upon
those seated near him, and then, as if defer
mined to do or die, put spoonful upon his plate
and then proceeded to force little OF it down
his unwilling throat. With his meal Succl

Senators CIeYerly Swindled.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-The whole city IS
laughing tonight over a story told in this even
1ng's star of how a smart confidence man in
Baltimore has been victimizing grave and dig
niGed United States Senators. Within the past
three weeks this man, who goes BE- the name
Of William Duval, has been writing different
Senators informing them that the irst-born
son in his family has Just been named after
them and enclosing a baptismal certificate.
The letter states he has been so unfortunate as
TO break leg, that his fellow-workmen have
gotten up an entertainment for his benefit, and
would he be so kind as to take the five tickets
enclosed at 81 each and remit.
Mir. Duyal would undoubtedly have been
working the Senate vet had he not unfortu-
nately decided on Saturday TO make victim of
senator Henderson, OF Nebraska. 1t so hap
pened that Senator Henderson had seen a SINH
lar certificate a few days ago in which the
name of this same tirst-bOrn son was declared
to be Justin Morreu Duval and he likewise
knew the venerable Senator from Vermont
had torn IS from his salary and sent it to the
suffering father in Baltimore. Convinced that
If Mrs. Duyal could be the mother Of
two hrSt-born chilaren she might give
birth TO a few more. AT the same time
Henderson instituted an investigation, the re
suit of which caused much laughter in the Sen
ate to-day, which was very mystifying to the
galleries until the story came out. According
10 the certificates which had been uncovered,
the following Senators have been worked:
Dolph, EVarts, Higgins Carlisle Paddock
Squire, Wolcott, Edmunds. Sanders, Padgrew,
Power, Stamford. Sawyer Stockbridge. Blair
Hoar. Hale, Washburn, Vest and Hiscock
There are those about the Senate who say there
are several other newly-born Duvals among
them Ohm Sherman Duval Matthew Stanley
Quay Duval and Arthur German Duval but the
gentleman thus honored insist they have not
been called upon.

A Observation-Disclosures.

The bal masque at Turner hall, Third
South and Main streets, last evening, was
pronounced success. 1t was given by the
Enterprise Social club, of Fort Douglas,
the music being furnished by the Sixteenth
infantry band. The characters represented
were quite varied and all seemed to enjoy
tripping the light fantastic. Twas the
wee sma' hours of morning ere the dancers
hied themselves to their respective homes,
all voting thanks TO that energetic and pop
ular Fort Douglas promoter of social gath
erings, Mr.. J. G.. Driscoll, whose expert
enced hand as manager was only too clearly
seen in the smooth manner in which last
nights festivities moved off. During the
intermission at midnight, after the threng
had thrown aside their masks, Sergeant
William Evans, of company @, Sixteenth
infantry, gave an exhibition of his artistic
club swinging and challenge lightning drill.
To say that his efforts were not appre-
preciated, would be putting an elastic band
on the truth, as his every movement proved
him an adept sF'ritz'' was present, and
as he has seen many such performances in
the club swinging line, he is not 10th to
acknowledge Mr. Evans as the leader in
that line.
