IN SENATE AND HOUSE


WASHINGTON, Aug e4.-The session Of
the house yesterday was not without in
terest, but the members are beginning to
feel the effect of long hours of labor, and
their attention to the speakers was rather
listless. Indeed the only speech which
reused them from their lethargy was that
delivered by Mr.. Cummings, ofNew York.
He spoke for less than twenty minutes
but within that time he concentrated
defense Of New York democracy against
the democracy OF the south. The other
star speaker was Mf Cannon, of Illinois,
Against the opinions Of large number Of
his Republican colleagues, he held-and
held forcibly-that the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman bill would
be n mista ke. He believed in standing by
the Republican platform. The debate was
opened by Mr. G. W. Stone (Pa), in favor
of repeal, and his remarks were ably sec.
onded by his colleague, Mr.. Dalzell.
Messrs. Ryan, Fitch and Covert IN. ",
also spoke against free coinage Mr..
Hatch (Mo.) argued against the Wilson
bill. Mr.. Turner (Ga) favored the free
coinage Of silver, but at the highest ratio
which had been proposed. Mr.. Coffeen
Wyo) and Mr. Taylor (Tenn.) both up.
held the cause of silver, and were rein
forced by Mr. Mcguire (Colo,) and Mr..
Bell Ciex.). Mr.. Hicks (pal closed the
days debate in favor of the repeal of the
bill, At the evening session other speeches
were made.
The resolution offered in the senate by
Mr.. Peficr (Kan.l, calling for information
as to the violation of law by the national
banks of Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia, in refusing to pay promptly and In
currency the checks of depositors, came
rlV i'm
rise to an important and interesting dis
cusslon. Senators Hill and Butler Demo.
Gratis, spoke in support of the PETER reso-
luton, and Washburn and Mitchell Re.
publicqns, opposed it. At 3 p. m. the
morning hour expired, and the resolution
went TO the calendar, where it cannot be
reached again except in the reg ular order

PIGS Feet and Terrapin.

A observing business man, who has
had occasion to patronize at one time or
another nearly every restaurant in the
purely commercial section OF the city,
has discovered an odd relationship be-
tween two articles of diet which rarely
if ever occur singly upon bill of fare.
"You can be reasonably sure" he said
the other day, ''that when you see liver
and bacon set down among the edibles
you will not have to,look far to discover
that you can also obtain Chicken liver
omelet. Perhaps this will explain" he
added cynically, 'why 1T is that 80 often
the liver of the first dish appears in small
triangular pieces in the ozlelets."
The gentleman might have transferred
his observances also to certain up town
restaurants which cater to the "swell"
members of society. It's dollars to dough
nuts that in at least one-half of those
which boast of their fine cooking, when
ever terrapin la Maryland or Philadel-
phia or any other style is to be had, it
will require but little urging to obtain
fried pigs feet.
Pigs feet and diamond back terrapin
do not closely resemble one another in
their natural state, but what difference
when they are stewed, either separately
or together, with Madeira wine and vari-
GUS concomitantsi An epicure only can
detect the subterfuge by the slightly
larger bones of the pigs trotters. New

How to Select Good Help.

One of the most astute business men
in New York city, who has through his
own efforts built up an enormous estab-

hundreds of men, some of them at very
large salaries, told me he had very little
difficulty in finding the right kind of
men for any department of his work. l
was surprised to learn this and asked
him what was the secret of his success.
He said:
II have man to whom I pay as much
as $4,000 q year. have sometimes been
disappointed in my selection Of helpers,
but as rule I never fail to get the kind
Of man l want. My first rule is to Sc
lect for experienced help only the men
who have succeeded in what they haye
