dressed men on the floor of the House
nowadays is Representative Powers
of Vermont, according to the Wash
ington Star. He has a prOtusiOn of
new and fashionable clothes, includ-
ing stylish negligee shirts, coats
adapted to every degree of tempera-
ture and a collection of trousers with
very fresh and self-evident creases.

being absent at the time of the fire,
