praise of the manner in which they were
treated by the people of e. Paso, and es-
pecially by Juan Hart of the Times, who
considered himself commmittee of
one to look after the boys
and see nothing was lacking that could con-
tribute to their comfort. On Saturday
evening the Franklin club Opended its
rooms and gave the boys jolly reception.
On Sunday the boys were taken over to
Paso del Norte and shown the town, and in
the evening the McGinty club gave them
reception at Mesa garden. On Monday
morning they were driven out to the
FL Paso smelling and refining company's
works, about four miles from the city, and
shown over the works by Mr.. True, the
president The e Paso people wouldn't
allow the Fort Worth boys to spend nickel
for anything. If they desired anything it
was theirs-everything was free to them.
AS a result the Fort Worth boys swear
there's no place on earth quite as good or
that possesses as gentlemanly citizens as

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The Fifty-second
congress bids fair TO be one of the most re-
markable bodies of legislators that ever as
sembIed in these United States since the
3Oth OF April, 1883
OF its 1872 members there are only l3S who
were members of the last congress. There
are 1874 members who were not reelected
last fall OF these 1871 members, nineteen
have seen previous service in congress.
There are, therefore, now l57 men in the
Fifty-second congress who have been menu
bers before. while there are l75 who have
never yet been in the house Of representa-
tives.
The Fifty-first congress contained 176 Re
publicans and $50 Democrats. OF these l16
eight were seated on contests. and to make
room for them eight Democrats were un-
seated At the beginning of the session the
figures stood: Republicans, los; Demo
