WEEK IN CONGRESS.

Scarcity of Dates ON the senate Calen-
dar-WOrk OF the House Committee
ON Rules Blocked by the Illness OF
Speaker Crisp.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-When the Fifty
second congress reassembles next Tuesday
it will find itself far less capable of enter
ing upon actual legislative business than
any of its predecessors during recent
years. The committees of the senate, ow-
ing to the late date of their reorganization,
have been unable to place upon the calen-
dars any of the reports that properly en-
gross the attention of the senate at this
stage of the first session. There will prob
ably be little for that body to do next week
beyond listening to speeches and acting
tions sent in by the president.
The illness of Speaker Crisp has pre-
vented the house committee on rules from
preparing code of rules for the house.
Mr.. Crisp will probably not be able to pre-
side when the house reassembles Tuesday.
Clerk Kerr will, therefore call the body to
order. A speaker pro tenn. will be elected.
Probably Mr.. Mcmillan, and an effort will
probably be made to secure the adoption
of the Springer resolution now pending
before the rules committee providing for
the adoption of the rules of the Fiftieth
congress until further order is taken. If
this IL done the committees having general
appropriation bills in charge will be able
to enter upon the preparation of these
measures and the wheels of the legislative
body will begin to move. There is some
talk of holding democratic house caucus
tomorrow to fully define this program. ="

NEW TIPPRRARY
Raises a Disturbanee-But Does No
Harm Except To a Broom.

Raises q Disturbanee-But Does No
Harm Except To q Broom.
New Years morning, when Paul Belts
opened his saloon on Grand avenue, he
had number of callers, most of whom
wished to purchase entertainment for
friends who should happen to visit them.
Driver Lawler of Station Q has bull
pup. The pup is harmless and win fight
nothing but a broom. He viii, however,
fight broom very ferociously. For this
reason Driver Lawler named him ssNew
Tipperary." or Zip" for short. Now
"Tip" has very ugly grin, particularly SO
at sight of broom. Thursday night
"Tip" wandered from the sheltering roof
of Mr.. LAWYERS house and watched the
old year out and the new year In. He had
been watching the new year in for about
five hours when Paul Belts opened his
store as before stated.
Zip" meandered gracefully into the
saloon, and gazed upon the scene with
curiosity and admiration. He had entered
quietly and unnoticed. Along in front of
him was the bar, at which FIVE or six bak-
ers were drinking. At the lower end was
pool table, on which two men were fix
ing bundles to cary away. But alas and
Almost hid away in a corner
was a broom. Tip stood and listened to
the talk of the bakers, who were Germans,
and as if bewildered with trying to dis
tinguish it from the Clamtown vernscular,
was about to turn away, when he caught
sight of the broom. =
With q rush and growl that startled all
in the place, he made for the broom. The
men in the place, when they saw fero-
cious bull pup tearing broom to pieces,
jumped at the conclusion that the canine
was mad. They also jumped on the pool
table and the bar and any place that they
thought out of the reach of the dog.
After the dog hsd left a part of the
broom in every nook and corner of the
saloon ne spotted policeman on the op-
posite side of the street. He trotted peace
fully out and over to the officer to be
petted.
The officer looked over toward the sa-
loon and saw eight excited faces sticking
out of the doorway and admonishing the
officer to run or shoot the dog unless he
wanted a touch of hydrophobis.
The officer petted the dog anu explained
the occurrence. Hereafter, when Mr.. Belts
sees New Tipperary" coming he will hide

The Gould Family Asked to Pay
over That Amount.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-For a long time
threatening letters have been received by
the Gould family, which were evidently
written by well educated German. The
letters date as far back as 1870, and relate
incidents connected with the partnership
between Mr. Gould and Jim Fiske, and
their government of the Erie. They speak
of an accident on that road in which the
writer's father and mother were injured,
and on account of which he demands
$4,000 The writer states that if the
$10.0 900 is not given up forthwith Gould is
liable to be blown up in his Office or
while walking in the street or riding in
his carriage. The request is made that tho
money be forwarded to a certain address
in Canada hotol being mentioned. Ia
spector Byrnes, having been informed of
the fact, despatched two detectives to
Canada. They visited the hotel in ques-
ton and learned from its proprietor that
he had instructions to forward such let
tors to certain town in New Jersey.
Their instructions had been left not to
open the letters, but to have them read
dressed to some place in this city. The
authorities refuse to give further particu-
lars regarding the affair. They are still
| at work on the case, however. Tonight
George and Edward Gould refused to talk.

COURIER reporter in reference to the dis
solution of the long established shipping
firm of 81. Trowbridge's Sons, which has
its headquarters at 204 State street he
said the firm was closing mp its business,
which would take from six months to q

Murphy's well-known GERRY Cow"

praise concludes: The concluding business,
particularly that of the racing scene, has
been broadened into greater realism, and
in this Boy Billie makes a jockey SO nstty
that even George Hearst would be satisfied,
although she does not come in his race
classification. Mr.. Murphy as Dan 0'Hara,
the smith, makes with accustomed ease all
his old points with the audience. In

and dances are in advance of these.

tette, the mirror and shoe show dances,
Edwards and Quinn-and other artists of
repute. The<play has been entirely re-
written since it was seen here, md many

of the peculiar advantages in living this
age over any earlier. The opportunities
of life, If seized 1t the right momsnt, are
the panscea for the defects of the past, tho
salvation for the future.
The present is the summer, the past 10
