turkey-turkey that might properly be termed
stuffed " Jones of Nevada swears by broiled

chatting dish stew. Quay. like German and
Hill, Is all right when supplied with cold turkey
and coffee. ckbridge can get along very
nicely on pie and milk, with broiled oysters for

THE TASTE OF OTHER SENATORS.
George INDUCES in broiled oysters and q
glass of milk. Walthall is another oyster lover,
and Warren and Carey are like-minded. Stew
art pays Cashier Birns for a stew or a reasona-
bic quantity of either corned beef or roast
beef, cold; he drinks pot of tea Oyster stew
himself to raw oysters or to baked apples with

POPULAR WITH THE WATERS.
More than few OF the Senators Especially
some of those from the new states) are popular
with the walters, but none are more 80 than
Senators Casey. Blackburn and Mcpherson.
Senator Casey Is an especial favorite; he never
gives unnecessary trouble, never growls, and,
as q consequence, is better waited on than al
most any one else. Senator Blackburn never
suffers from inattention. No Senator does, but
If circumstances compelled a waiter to be
slightly neglectful the Kentuckian would not
be sufferer. If he were only a millionaire
several people who now desire to be recorder
of deeds in the District would do almost as well
financially if they could secure positions as
walters IN the Senate restaurant. Senator Nc
Pherson will eat ten cents worth Of apple dump
ling and then smiingly present the waiter with
twenty-five cents for handing him the dump
ling. The Senator's dumplings are never un-
derdone.
GUILTY CONSCIENCE.
The following letter, which is self-explana-
tory, was received short time since by Mt.
Page, who has charge Of the restaurant:
During the Inauguration ceremonies / al
lowed my love of china to overbalance my
honesty and comforted myself that as in the
rush for meals was not waited on it would not
be very wrong if helped myself, which did,
to small tete-a-tete cream pitcher, which /
lind at retail costs IS to 50 cents. However,
my conscience is still troubling me; SO inclosed
please find 81. which will cover your loss with
interest and l hope may prove balm to my
wounded conscience" The letter WAS written
by a woman and was mailed at Columbus, Ohio.
