FOR THE STRIKERS.

ing on Fifth Avenue,

ihs oh avenue
The majority Of the boss tailors in
Fifth avenue have, by combinat ton, en-
deavored to break up the tailors' union,
and have reduced the wages of the
workmen. The members of the tailors'
union. believing that the wages offered
them were not sufficient to compensate
them for their services, months ago left
their various places of employment and
have been on strike ever since.
The union members have endeavored
to become members of the union in
order that they may receive proper rate
OF wages. The bosses secured an in
junction from Judge Beach preventing
the members of the union, some six
teen hundred men, from patrolling in
front of their various stores on Fifth
avenue.
The union men were served with this
injunction, and lately a great many of
the members have had occasion to pass
by the various stores on Fifth avenue,
in search of employment at different
places, and the bosses have kept the
Supreme Court busy with applications
to punish them. upon the ground that
they were guilty of contempt of court
Ex-Judge Alfred Steckler in each case
defended the workmen, and contended
that they had a right to walk on Fifth
avenue as long as they were orderly
and peaceable, and that no court could
prevent them from walking upon the
streets of this city.
Judge Lawrence to-day decided every
to punish any of them for contempt OF

The dining rooms of these Senators are
worth looking at. Their walls and ceilings
are frescced. They sit around the finest of
damask cloths on chairs of oak, cushioned
with green leather. Their dishes are china
and their forks are of silver The most of
them prefer steel knives, and silver is only
used for the cutting of fruit. The common
dining room Is apart from that used by the
Senator'S, and there is a pie and oyster
counter presided over by walters. At these
the statesmen now and then take a snack
but the most of them are good livers. and
they take full meal at noon every day of
the year.

his lunch down every day with pint of
champagne. One of his favorite dishes is
calves liver and bacon, and he smacks his
lips three times week over chatting dish
stew. Senator Stewart of Nevada is an
other man who is fond of a chatting dish
stew. and there is a bakers dozen of Sem

way form a dish for the gods Senator
Stewart cooks his oysters himself. He calls

own liquor in a large glass of the best sher-

Senator Hawley knows what is good, but

dish Is chicken soup. and after this he has
a piece of apple pie and glass of milk. If

oyster shocking and fresh oysters, and
here the terrapins are kept. One great
copper box in the kitchen Is devoted to
the steaming of oysters, and there are
special dishes for the getting up of ter

a big Queensware store, and 1t keeps one
or two men continually washing at the
dishes. The plates which are used for
sending UP food are kept warm in a patent

If the office is an important one and the
government is suffering because it is not
filled, the President has 1t in his power to
withdraw the nomination and make another
one. When Justice Blatchford of the Su-
preme court died. the President nominated
Judge Hornblower for the vacancy. The
Senate took no action. Meantime a special
session of Congress ended and the regular
session began. Some Senators doubtless
anticipated that If the Senate failed to con-
firm the nomination at the special session.

The Once Seeker from New York.
In former administrations politics has
been an important factor in the distribu-
ton Of these places. 1t is a factor to a far
less degree in the present administration.
The wishes of the Representatives and of
the Senators are more frequently disre-
garded Some are never consulted as to
federal appointments in their district or
state. Others secure appointments with
very little trouble. Those nearest the heads
of departments seem to have more influence
than officials Immediately interested.
Congressman without influence.
All cabinet officers have more or less APP
poln Spents. The Secretary of State is
credited with the power of distributing for
eign missions and consulships. These ap-
pointments. however, are made by the
President. 1t is said that Mr.. Gresham
really has very little to do with them.
They have been distributed thus far, with
few exceptions, after consultations with the
nearest assistant secretary of state Spe-
cial congressional favors may have secured
moiety of them, but the recommended
lions of not one Congressman in twenty
have been favorably considered. Outside
influences swirl in and bear away the prize
While this may be annoying to a Con-
gresham. it is exasperating to a Senator
The Constitution provides that the Presi-
dent may make these appointments ''by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate"
When they are made without regard to a
Senator's wishes, they are apt to provoke a
controversy in executive session. They may
lie in the hands of a Senate committee for
weeks and months before they are even con-
sidered.

The New York Senators,

was something like this: First there were
blue points on the half shell. Then quail
stewed terrapin and chicken salad in the
order given. Champagne was brought in
with the terrapin. and the dessert was Char
lotte russo and coffee. An ordinary citizen
would call this course dinner, but with
German 1t was only lunch.
l have always looked upon southern men
as big eaters, but Senators from the south
eat the least. George of Mississippi seldom
takes more than broiled oysters and glass
of milk. Walthall is satisfied with milk and
pie. and Vest, fat as he is, often lunches on
the raw bivalves. He stands I'D, and he
eats his saddle rock oysters standing Old
Joe Brown used to say that there was moth
ing SO good on earth as puddle ducks and
sweet potatoes, and Isham G. Harris seldom
gets more than a glass of milk at the Cap
itol. Faulkner likes raw oysters. Higgins
OF Delaware fattens up on baked apples
and Chandler of New Hampshire, lean as
he is, often takes chatting dish stew. Ran
som seldom eats more than a cracker and
glass of milk. Cockrell is satisfied with
dry bread, and Senators Aldrich of Rhode
Island and Morrill, of Vermont are both
milk drinkers. Nearly all Of these Senators
are oyster lovers, most of thsm are fond of
terrapin, and On the whole they are fairly
good livers. Hr -.
The Luscious Diamond Back.
Speaking of terrapin, these are more in
demand every year here at Washington.
No big dinner is now complete without
them, and 1 am told that the terrapin crop
now amounts to the enormous aggregate
of S2,OO0,0O0 every year. They sell for all
sorts of fancy prices. and $50 d dozen is a
low average. l venture to say that there
Will be in the neighborhood of a million
terrapin eaten this year, and there are now
a number of terrapin farms along the
Chesapeake bay which are said to nav.
while there is one on the Patuxent river
which contains thousands of terrapin. and
in which they are Matched, raised and fed
for the market. Another farm is run by
New York parties. and the probability is
that these farms will be increased in num-
Der and size with the present demand. The
chesapeake terrapin are twice as good as
those which come from Delaware and other
parts of the country and they will bring
twice as much in the market There are
people who make a business of catching
terrapin, and all the oyster boats catch
them when they can. The terrapin often
run in shoals and they are sometimes
caught with seines. AS many as a hundred
have been taken at one haul They are
often caught in the fall and packed away
in barrels. Provided they are kept in the
dark, 1t is said that they can be held for
weeks without injury, and those which
come to Washington are brought here in
barrels. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
