The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-03-25

George, Of Mississippi, confines himself
mainly to broiled oysters and a glass of
milk, while Stewart, of Nevada. is fond
OF a dish of oysters, which he sets before
him on the table and stews in their own
liquor, adding a dash of sherry, butter
and the yolks Of two eggs.
HILL IS ABsTEMoNIoUs.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, is fond of
rich and highly-seasoned food. while
Hawley mostly confines himself to chick
en- soup. Hill and Murphy, New YOrk'a
senatorial team, generally lunch together
but Hill IS very abstemonious, while
Murphy is generous liver Senator
Squire, of Washington state, is fond Of
sausages and corn c .kes; Peter generally
partabes of bowl of milk and bread or
an oyster stew, while Sherman is a great
pie eater. Joe Blackburn, like all Ken
tuckians, is fond of a good meal and gen.
orally adds toddy to keep up his spirits
and the credit Of the old state
Inc Senate restaurant is handsome
room, with frescoed wall and ceiling. The
tables are covered with the finest cloths.
the chairs are oak, quartered with dark
green leather, and the service is the best
OF shining silver, sparkling glass and
dainty china. The kitchen is an immense
affair, which requires thirty men to run.
These are two ranges. each big enough
TO hold COW, and huge soup pot that
holds two bushels of liquid. Then there
are big roasters for turkeys and ducks, a
gridiron on which calf could be broiled,
and an immense pot for cranberry sauce.
The bakery is great iron safe, presided
over by an expert at bread-making, and
on big tables, heated by steam, are dishes
being kept hot while they are being pre-
pared Tor the hungry mouths up above.
THE HANDsoMEsT SENATOR.
Daniel, Of Virginia, is perhaps the
handsomest man in the Senate, for no
has patrician face and ciear-cut features
that remind one of Booth. PETER is the
most striking in appearance, for he is as
tall as telegraph pole and his whiskers
grow to an unnatural length beneath a
small, narrow head. Dolph and Stewart
are both f1ne-looking men, with white
hair and boards of the same color. and
are strikingly similar in appearance.
Brice is small and dark. Blackbu is a
man of fine appearance, and so is VOL
colt, of Colorado, but Dubois, the young
populist, looks scarcely more than boy
Outside of their official duties, which
begin at the capitol at II, noon our
statesmen have plenty to do TO employ
not only themselves, but their private
secretaries time. There are piles of
letters to be read and answered, tons of
public documents TO be sent to constitu-
ents, various committee meetings to at
Ienu, visiting TRENDS to look after, re-
quests from voters to see to- and the
questions before the public to study up and
prepare speeches upon. Then when we take
into account the demands of ofiice-seekers
and their own personal business and fam
lily affairs on their hands, one can readily
comprehend that our legislators have few
idle moments.
Still there are few who would not
willingly accept these same positions
airuFtlg for tho pponnfuaTapn nd
but that to a politician who is accustomed
TO it, there is no pleasure such as is found
in the life of our statesmen at our national
capital
