term of years the residence formerly occu-
pied by Chief Justice Fuller on Massachu-
sets avenue, and the little family gather
ing of Indianians about his board to-mor-
row will doubtless mark the beginning of
a series of notable dinners. The guests at
the dinner tomorrow evening are all In
dianians with but few exceptions, and one
might term it 'housewarming." Senator
Fairbanks will put before his friends and
neighbors a typical Hoosier Thanks
giving dinner The turkey, the piece
de resistance, he has, consider
able trouble obtained from Indiana,
and there will be innumerable deli
cacies typical of Indiana to please the
palate. In fact, and in brief, Senator Fair
banks proposes to set before his guests a
menu which will make them forget at least
for the time being, that they are in the
District of Columbia and not in their native
and beloved State of Indiana. Among the
guests who have been hidden to partake of
the hospitality of Senator and Mrs. Fair
banks are: First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath and wife, Col Richard
Bright, Sergeant-at-a arms of the Senate and
wife; Controller Tracewel and wife; So
licitor Penfield and wife, Sixth Auditor
LaWshe and wife and several other friends.
