Stubborn Rhode Island Settlers.

The Rhode Island settlers, stubborn in
this as In other things, never took kindly
to thanking anybody for anything. Sir
Edmund Andres, the imperious governor
of New England In the reigns of Charles
III and James III, thought his will a match
for their stubbornness Several times he
ordered them to appear to be thankful on
q certain day, but the colonists did 1t with

Thanksgiving History.

Historically the custom is traced to the
earliest settlers of New England. 1t was
the pilgrims who came over in the May
flower, and those who joined them later,
who originated the Thanksgiving which
afterward was adopted by the whole OF
New England, afterward by New York,
and ultimately became "a national observ-
ance. Even the day, Thursday, adopted
by the New Englanders, set the precedent
for the future selected.

Oysters Served Raw.

Wash the oysters we'll in cold water;
then have them opened in the deep shell to
preserve their liquor. Cover the bottom of
deep oyster plates with chopped ice, place
the oysters on top and serve or put a small
napkin over the ice and arrange the oys-
tiers on the napkin. Another way is to
place the oysters for Is minutes on chopped
ice, arrange them without ice on plates
and serve with lemons cut in quarters. -

For plenty that burdened the vale,
For the wealth of the teeming abundance,

To thank him for bloom and fruition
And the happiness browning the home.

timbers, as the order was given for the
very best lumber and was received as
such. They are all two inches thick and
six inches wide. and were put with the
six-inch way perpendicular. The timber

moved.
The ceiling is TO be lighted even to the
remotest corner and in the future there will
be as much light in the galleries as on the
floor OF the Senate. The old brass Gus

chewing Senators will find this somewhat
of an inconvenience.
HOW IT LOOKS.
The dismantled chamber presents an
odd sight The CALLER les ook like
they had been struck by cyclone all the
way from Nebraska. In the northeast
corner of the chamber a block and tackle
is arranged, and through an opening IL the
ceiling, made by removing one OF the
squares of glass, piles OF brick are being
hoisted to be used in the work which is
going on under the roof Right in front
of the Vice Presidents desk there is huge
pile of brick and entrance to the chamber is
secured by walking down couple ofplanks
from the east door. The cement floor
for :he first time in years is bare to the
public and workmen are busy plastering
I'D holes through which cool air used to
BE- forced.
Back in the chamber just in front OF the
entrance to the Democratic cloak room
is n huge air well siXty-five feet deep
and eight to ten feet in diameter. Some
of the officials Of the Senate wing are sure
this will explain the cause Ex-senator Hills
changing his seat a few years ago. He was
a fraid he might GO through the floor.
Senators Gibson and Palmer sat over 1t
during the last session and the unkind
intination is made that their knowledge
ofthe fact isthe reason why they Were seen
in their seats so seldom. There is no doubt
OF the fact that there would be a great fall
should any one ever break through.
A force of twenty men is busy clearing up
the debris. There were over one hundred
applications for work, and Cne of the best
bricklayers in tire city was glad to secure
a Job as day laborer. All the work on
the new floor and the Ecw chairs is tciDg
done away from the building. There willbe
nothing to do when all this stuff is deliv-
cred but to put it together. All the con-
tracts call for its delivery the latter part
of this month or the first Of September,
The morning times., 1896-08-06
and the chamber is to be in shape for occu-
papcy by the first of October.
AN EXTRA SESSION.


In the meantime Sergeant alarms Bright
is keeping things in such shape That ne could
get the chamber ready for occupancy within
twenty days should special session or
Congress be called. There is TO constitu-
tional provision that any certain notice
OF a special session of Congress must be
given. When the adoption OF the Ccnstl-
tuition was under discussion 1T was gen
orally agreed that enough time must he
given SO that the member of Congress fur-
thest removed from. the Capitol should
have ample time to reach it.
At present one week is all that is nee
essary. Members from the Pacific coast
could reach Washington within that time.
Bat Presidents have Usually given from
thirty TO ninety days notice OF an extra
session In 1898 when President Cleve-
land called the extra session he gave from
June 80 to August T. So Col. Bright is
taking chances this year ani is under the
impression, as some Of his newspaper
friends put it, that he is playing on velvet
In the case OF an extra session. though,
called within the next two months, the
Senators would have to put up with very
unfinished quarters, and the public would
be most likely shut out. In case of an
immediat. extra session, the Senate would
have to be satisfied with its old quarters
in the Supreme Court chamber. Nothing
of this kind is anticipated, however. and
on the 1st of October the Senate chamber
will be the most modernly furnished leg
islative hall in the world. =.

For the first time since 1t was COM
pleted, IN 1858, the Senate chamber has
been thoroughly torn. to pieces.
Piles of broken benches in the gallC.es
and heaps of bricks and rubbish on the
floor are the distinguishing marks of the
room where the Senatorial elnquencc OF
thirty odd years has aired itself. The
heaps of rubbish and the piles OF broken
benches are synbolcal, too, of regulations
which have not stood the test of time any
better than did the furniture.
AS ii is the first time since the Senate
wing of the Capito, was finished, so it
may be the last for half a century or so
that the chamber will present the sight
it now does. Yet it is expected that
everything will be back in proper shape
by October l.
TEARING IT UP.
The work of dismantling the chamber
began a couple of weeks ago. The first
thing touched was the Vice Presidents
desk and platform, and next came the
platform on which the secretaries sat.

dis n:antled The workmen yesterday
were breaking down the seats in the reserve

Losing Firms Must Whistle for
Reimbursement.
No CIew to His wherea bouts Has
Yet Been Secured by the
Company

1t has been discovered that besides the
amount OF 81 900 which Eugene 9. DeRiya,
the missing manager of the Fowler bicycle
branch agency, has failed to account Tor,
the firm OF Alfred Ely * Co. OF Baltimore
will lose in the neighborEood OF S1u0 by
his disappearance.
II was stated that various individuals IN
Washington had been worked by DeRiva
for sums of money acgregating $1,000,
but besides some tradesiuen's bills, amount
ing to several hundred dollars and which
have already been reported, nothing could
be learned OF the alleged crooked dealings.
The young man has not Yet been located
and all track OF him has been lost after
he entered the Baltimore and Ohio depot
on Saturday night
Ii has been learned that the Evans estate
is in no wise responsible for the Young
mans debts, and that BESIDES lending him
$500 no financial backing came from tbs
source Strange to say. the Fowler Manu-
featuring Company did rot exact tend
from De Riva, IL accordance with It's
usual custom when employing an agent.
So much reliance was placed in the man
that this feature was deemed uDncces-
sary.
Mr. Espey states that he is not to lie
expected TO make the losses gcCd, as all
agreem eDts were entered into by the
Fowler Manufacturing Company and De
Riva.
