WASHINGTON, ID. c., February ,. -
Ever since the Forty-eighth Congress,
tariff debates at night have been a
Speciality. They began in the Forty
ninth Congress when Col. Morrison
horizontal tariff bill was brought up.
So many members desired TO speak
that il was found impossible TO accom-
modate them without night sessions.
In the Fiftieth Congress the practice
was continued. The Mills bill came be-
fore the House. The debate lasted sew
eral months. In that Congress there
were over a hundred night sessions.
Tariff discussions at night filed the
galleries and emptied the hall Indeed
the chamber OF the House might have
been compared to an archipelago. The
memb ers were the islands and the hall
was the sea, aud the islands were very
few.
In the Fiftieth Congress a very anus
ing scene occurred. a Representative
from Massachusetts was addressing
the House about ten o'clock ODe night.
The speech was made in the Committee
of the Whole, There were three mem
bers on the floor besides himself, two OF
whom intended to speak. One OF the
Representatives asked the other two
down in the restaurant. He KEEP: them
there by the serenity of his manner and
the excess OF his hospitality. While
they were away the Massachusetts
member flushed his speech. AS there
was no other Representative present,
he was forced TO move that the
committee rise. He voted yea on his
own motion and the committee which
was himself did rise. The chairman

with his right arm, and looks every
inch statesman. Near him sits VIII
lam Ryan, Of New York, playing with
his watch chain and listening 10 his
remarks. Away off en- the right you
see Mr.. Bailey, OF Texas, appearing
like an oasis in q desert, drawing in
spiration from some public document,
and jotting down data for future use.
Forty feet away appears LATE Pence,
the eloquent young Congressman froms
Colorado, twiddling his thumbs and
hoving an air Of strict attention. Down
at the front is young Harry Tucker, of
Virginia, tipped back in his chair, with
legs crossed, listening intently.
Over on the Republican side you see
Jerry Simpson turning over the leaves
of pamphlet and paying no attention
to the speech. On the back row is that
great Norwegian Populist, Haldor E.
Boon, awaiting his turn 20 speak and
scratching his head for thoughts. Away
off on the extreme right OF the Demo
cratic section sits Stephen +. Mallory,
son OF the old Confederate Secretary OF
the Navy. He rubs his polished head,
yawns and drums his desk with the
fingers OF his left hand. Three aisles
away sits Antonio Joseph, Of New Mex
leo. He has his hands in his pockets,
and wears pepper and salt suit. Ar
rayed in the costume OF the NH. CEN
fury, he would resemble q captain OF
one OF the caravels OF Columbus.
Back Of the seats there are green cur
tainS strung GU brass rods. Some are
drawn together like the choir curtains
Of Congregational church when the
second hymn has been sung and the
minister announces the text. Leaning
upon this brass rod stands the veteran
Mark II. Dunnell, elected TO Congress
from Minnesota at stated Intervals.
The desks are Uttered with Records,
blotting paper, envelopes and newSpa-
ers.
Away off on the left, in what is known
as the Cherokee Strip" sit three
pages, pen in hand, initiating the stem
ographerS. Brown, Devine, Wech,
White, Ireland, the real StenOPraphers,
are scattered in seats in various parts
OF the hall. Some are listening and
others reading newspapers. Wech is
steadily at work taking down Judge
4
pore.
Down the main aisle comes James r.
Pigott Of Connecticut, umbrella in
hand, and induces Ryan to accompany
him TO the cloak room. Through the
half-open door you see W. J. HouSh-
falling, of Albany, reading clerk, John
j. O'Neal and others in front OF small
wood fire, smoking cigars and telling
stories. The BARRIERS appear at the door
of their room vainly looking for Gus
toners.
The Judge rvns his speech off with
out interruption. He has just made an
alusion to the Hawaiian queen that
sets Jerry Simpson to laughing and
draws out applause from the five mem
bers nearest him. Chairman DOckery
brings down the gavel with bang, and
the applause ceases.

SUNDAY GOOD LIVING

FISH CRoQUETTEs. - Separate any
kind Of cooked fish from the bones,
mince fine, season with pepper and salt
TO taste, beat one egg with a teaspoon
full OF flower and little milk. Mix
this with the fish and make into balls.
Brush the outside with eggs, drsdge
with -four. Fry nicely in hot lard,
being careful to get nice even brown
on them.
SCALLOPED TURKEY.-Chop cold
turkey, butter dish, put layer OF
of bread crumbs in the bottom, then a
layer OF oysters; season with bits OF
butter, salt and pepper, then cover
with layer Of turkey. Continue alter
mating in this way until the dish is full,
having the last layer Of crumbs. Pour
over the whole cream sauce made OF
one tablespoonful of butter, the same
amount of flour. and a cupful OF cream
or rick milk. Cover closely and bake
in q moderate oven twenty minutes.
QUICK MUFFINS. One pint Of milk,
one ounce of butter, one table spoonful
OF salt, three cups Of -four, two heaplng
toaspoOnfuls OF baking powder or q
half table spoonful Of soda and one of
cream Of tartar, three eggs. Beat the
eggs separately until light; add the
yolks 10 the milk, then the -four, which
must be more or less, according to the
quality. The batter must be thin and
poured from tho spoon. Now add the
baking powder aud the well-0eateD
eggs; stir until thoroughly mixed.
Bake in muffin rings in q quick oven or
on the gridde.
BEEF SALAD.-Cut the meat into
dice, leaving out all fat and muscle; add
some chopped, hard-boiled eggs, tatle-
spoonful of minced parsley, salt and
pepper to taste, and 4 teaspoonful OF
grated onion for each pint Of meat.
Pour over this sauce made by mash
ing perfectly smooth the yolks of three
hard-boiled eggs and adding to them
half a teaspoonful or made mustard,
three tableSpoonfuls of olive oil, salt
and pepper, and a tablespoonful of vim
egar; work this all together with the
volk of a raw egg. This same sauce is
delicate for cold fish, and is also the
sauce for a salad OF hard-bOiled eggs,
Tor which You simply slice half dozen
eggs that have been boiled twenty-five
minutes.
PoTArO SALAD.--Potato salad, as
usually served, is not thing OF beauty.
Nor isit exactly a JOY to every digestion.
The secret of the perfect one lies In
using freshly boiled potatoes. This
seems heresy; FOR why does potato salad
exist save to use leftover potatoes?
Nevertheless, boil your potatoes in their
Jackets, and let them partly cool before
peeling il you want your salad TO be
eaten with keen enjoyment and no
aftermath Of Indigestion. Use lemon
Juice with this salad, and potatoes,
being floury and therefore absorbent
use three times the quantity Of white
wine as OF lemon juice. If convenient,
use a scatter OF chervil, chires, Sc,
chopped fine; If not, a soupcon OF
onion minced to mere juice. Or use
simply the dressing as advised for let
tuce, pouring il over the sliced potatoes
while they are warm, and serve at once.

! NASHVILLE, January 2G.-The daily
press OF America Ia this mornings
issue gives full account OF the jroett-
Mitchell glove contest" in 2 great
arena prepared by the Duvf club Ia
the city OF Jacksonville, Fla. Corbett
knocked Mitchell out in three rounds.
1t is commonly accepted that there
are two sides TO all questions. Let us
look calmly on both sides Of prize
fight
The advocates OF prize.fghting can
say:
/. It gives traffic to our railroads.
2. The Western Union Telegraph
Company is furnished large and lucra-
tive business.
g. The daily press Is supplied with all
the sensational matter they care TO ham
die.
4. IL furnishes the saloons with all
the business they are capable OF doing.
| suppose Jacksonville saloons never
had so much business as they have had
In the last iow days.
;. II delights spectators. There IS no
sight beneath the stars on which sports
and thugs and buns look on with such
delight as the brutality exhibited In the
arena.
6. 1t paid the contestants In this case:
Mitchell's fees, OF course, were not
much, bnt Corbett pockets thirty thou
sanu dollars.
:. 1t furnishes the gambling sports
opportunity for immense profits and
losses. God only knows how much was
lost and won on both sides OF both
oceans on the contest.
Calmly surveying the field, there
seems to be no other possible benefit &C
cruing 10 any one through this contest.
Now let us go around and look on the
other side, and invite every good citl-
zen, every honest father and mother,
and every protested Christian 10 look
with me.
I. These glove contests" or prize
fgnts are more demoralizing 10 men
than q Spanish bull fight. They are the
exaltation Of physical strength or power

and practice OF mules with heels turned

2. II is demoralizing 10 great State;
an insultto her executive aud her laws.
Every good citizen OF every State will
honor Governor Mitchell for the stand
he took aud maintained until eDjoined
by Judge OF bis own State. The good
people OF Florida can never honor a
man too much who stood for decency
and tried TO avert the disgrace sought
10 be heaped upon his State.

upon them.
In the mellow light pouring through
the glass ceiling, for there are no lights
in tho chamber itself, the galleries are
worth studying. The main tier is
packed. You see near the clock faces
that have appeared here every day since
the opening of the session. The en-
frances are crowded with standing spec
tators. There ara very few persons,
however, in the members family GAL
lery. A one legged man with crutches
sits back of the pew reserved for the
Speaker. Four ladies occupy front
row absorbing the words that fall from
the Judges lips. Possibly they are
relatives of somebody who is to speak.
Thanking the reporters reservation are
two short galleries crowded with ladies
and gentlemen. They face the Judge
and listen to him as il dazed while he
reels of his perorstion. General Hen
derson, Of Illinois, wandefs out OF the
barber shop on the Republican side OF
the House, drops into seat, puts on his
spectacles, props his chin with his hand,
and like q true Republican enjoys the
Judges talk about the American and
the foreign markets.
The pages who are playing az steno-
graphy become noisy and Uncle
Chauncey, the Captain Bassett OF the
House, wanders up into the Cherokee
Strip" and scatters them, to the amuse-
ment of the galleries. Through the
open door OF the Republican barber
shop YOU see ore OF the colored tonsors
prone on a lounge enjoying journey to
the Land OF Nod.
Suddenly Harry Tucker afouses HIM
self. He remembe that ne has writ
ten dozen or more letters which have
not been mailed. Turning toward the
Speakers desk, he snaps his thumb and
fingers for q page. A boy darts to him
like dragon. fly. He passes the letters
10 the page, who HES away. tucker
then crosses his hands over the top OF
his head, and again tries to fathom
Judge Powers argument. Meantime
Congressman Sperry has wandered over
to Congressman Malory's seat. They
consult each other long and earnestly,
and are finally aroused by the Judges
closing poetic2l extract. Sperry clapS
his hands four times as tbs Judge takes
his seat and Mallory listlessly follows
his example.
Boen, the Norwegian, is the next
speaker. He takes the desk vacated by
Judge Powers. He uses the same pile
OF Records, but not the same speech.
He also changes his glass Of water.
Thers is something sacerdotal about
Boon. His voice lacks volume. He
sips his water before he has been talk
ing two minutes. His words lack en-
phasis. From the reporters gallery
one might fancy him youthful clergy
man offering prayer. Later on, how
ever, he places his hand under his
coat tail, and anon stands with
arms skimbo. His clerical appear

hand that encircles his standing collar

and Mr.. HaneS, of Undertook, better
known as collar and Cuff Haines,"
plants himself across the aisle and list

prop their heads with their arms and
hands.

There were many amusing scenes
while the Mckinley bill was under dis
cussion in the Fifty-frst Congress, and
also in the Fifty-second, when the Tree

this session has been very short, but
the night sessions lasted for two weeks.
They were similar to those that pre-

not know how to wash her own laces
will soon have no laces. WoOllen un-
dergarments and flannel ones have TO

be shrunk before being made up.
Boiling water should be poured on
them, and then they should be let to

them straight and even aud hang them
out. Take them in while still damp,
then smooth aud in half an hour iron

water and shake out the water without
