tested a great deal of interest IN his PET
measure. and he was untiring In MS Ell
forts until ne succeeded in having the bill
passed by both houses and approved by
the Governor. 80,
He had made quite name for himself
as patron Of tho muskrats. and had even
10 stand a good deal Of ridicule for ms
advocacy of the protection OF these AMI
mails So he determined 10 give some OF
his colleagues an object lesson. ana "neH
he returned from short WISH 10 nus
home last week no brought with him
about two dozen muskrats.. They we're
given In charge of the "chef de cuisine
at Murphys Hotel. where Mr. Matthew's
is stopping. and Monday he invited quite
a number of his co-legisiators 10 dinner
to sample the muskrats

diners Mr.. Cooke. of Norfolk, was 50
well pleased with this delicacy that he re-
quested Mr.. Matthews TO make arrange
nents so as 10 supply his larder In the
future regularly with this tempting dsh:
Mr. Jordan seemed 10 have a deep-rooted
antipathy to the muskrats, for he could
not be induced to touch them. He stated
in explanation, however. that he never
ate either rabbits or squirrels.
Mr.. Boaz OF Albemarle. seemed 10 be
more courageous. for he not only tasted
a morsel OF stewed muskrat. but he ac-
tu8lly called for the same animal In fried
condition. After swallowing mouthful

dish, he called the walter aside and made
him bring him some beefsteak.

his sincerity as my friend. and would
not suspect him at this late day OF be-
ing an enemy OF mine. You can hear
many rumors about his final decision In

FIGHT IN THE D. A. R.
How the Daughters Were Worked by
Clique i'm 1894.

WASHINGTON, u. c.. Feb. l9.-The
incoming trains arc already filed with
delegates to the approaching Congress
Of tho Daughters OF the American Revo-
luton.
The New York movement To obtain the
Presidency and direction Of this now nu-
merous and powerful society is one Of sew
eral natural outgrowths Of the general
dissatisfaction with the national manage
ment which exists and is growing through
out the society in every section Of the
land. The best elements, OF the society
are anxious 10 end the irksOme domino
ton of the society by untOward influences
which for several years past have been
able to control the National Board at
Washington. The strength of this move
ment has already become apparent 10 the
Washington managers through the views
expressed by the fast-arriving delegates.
The discovery has caused the sounding Of
the long roll, and the Grand Opera-House
is sure TO witness during the coming week
the most stirring scenes in its history.
The society now numbefs over 1000,
and the attendance OF delegates 10 this,
the seventh congress of the order. out
numbers those Of all previous gatherings.
The battle for control Will be TO the
finish. though the chances are good for
those now holding the machinery 10 win
again against the numerous influential
elements opposing them.
Washington has heretofore been treated
10 some Of the widest scenes In its his
tory on the floors Of these Revolutionary
Daughters, and 1t Is looking forward
with keen interest TO the spectacular pro-
ceedings of the week TO come. The con-
test will be, on the one side, TO regain
for the management OF the society that
conservative and highly influential con-
troll which was shrewdlv snatched away
from II In the congress OF 1894, by
methods which would honor and crown
any known campaign OF parliamentary
cunning. A brief review OF that noted
athletic triumph Is necessary TO prepare
