HOUSE OPINIONS.
What the Members Think Of the
Message of the President


Mr.. Henderson -(Rep.. Io9, one Of the
Republican leaders: THE message
shows that the people made no mistake
in electing William Mckinley president
He has never for an instant taken his
eyes from the interests of the country
and Of humanity. We should stand ZIP
and sustain the president and give him
the power he asks"
Mr.. Dolliver (Rep., Io.): 'I consider it
a strong and patriotic utterance, fully
covering the whole question and justi-
flying the confidence the people of the
United States everywhere have in the
executive. Congress- action should be
in accordance with the recommends
TONS"
81 think it is very strong statement
of the situation" said Mr.. Hull, of
Iowa, chairman of the military affairs
committee "The president now places
congress Will proceed to discharge It's
duty, I believe, in harmony with the
president"
Mr.. Berry Oem., Ky.), a member of
the foreign affairs committee: "The de-
tails of the events leading up to the
present conditions in Cuba are we'll re-
cited, much after the style of those
senators and members who lately WIS.,
tied the unfortunate islands. But the
sequences from these facts I do not
approve. AS one, I am unwilling to
place a discretionary power in the
hands of the executive which belongs
to the legislative branch Of the gov
eminent. There should be a recogni-
ton of the Cuban government and
armed Intervention to prevent further
sacrifices of innocent lives. The mes
sage will not satisfy the intelligence Of
the country. The disappointment of
his party is apparent on every hand
Representative Catchings, Of Missis-
sippi: '.The message in my opinion
means war. I wish it was otherwise.
The president has exhausted diplomacy.
If the English language means any
thing, it means armed intervention,
and that is war"
Temperate In Tone.
Mr.. johnson Rep., Ind): IT do not
think the president has stated all the
facts pertinent to our relations with
Spain, nor do I agree with all his state
ments as to the law applicable to the
case. The whole message. however. is
patriotic and temperate in tone. 1t
is evident that the president still hopes
to avoid war. In my opinion congress
should confer upon him the power ask
ed for. I believe he will express it with
good judgment and pilot us safely and
honorably out OF our unfortunate In

EPISTLES TO ST. PAUL.

DR.. Whitcomb has outfit that he will
dispose of cheap for cash, and that would
serve to costume one of those summer theat-
rical companies that always disport them
selves with sea-girt shore for background
and in which the hero, the villain, the lead
ing lady and the soubrette always form them
selves into a quartette and sing the songs
they know so we'll and sing so badly-as some
comedian got reputation for wit by saying.
The doctor would like to dispose Of the
things at once, for he could then apply the
proceeds of the sale and let a poor but
healthy young man out of a hospital.
When he-the young man, not the doctor
was taken to the hospital he hadn't any
clothes to burn. but they took what he had
and burned them. When he had been made
whole again in the matter of health he asked
for his clothes and they brought him pair
of suspenders which were not regarded as
being very combustible anyway and had es-
capped cremation. 1t would hardly be good
FORM thought the patient, to go out prancing
around the streets clad in robust health and
a pair of suspenders, and he sent for the
doctor and told him about 1t.
DR.. Whitcomb has friend who lives In a
swell boarding house. He told the friend that
he would be obliged if he would give it out
among his fellow boarders that they could get
rid of some of their old clothes and do q
fellow creature good turn by sending some
wearing apparel to the hospital. OF course
the friend would do 1t.
He rushed off to his boarding house to
luncheon and he told his congregated fellow
sufferers at the table what a golden oppor-
tunity he had discovered for them to do some
real good in the world. Would they pick up
some Of their old things and SEND them to his
room? He would send them to the hospital.
Certainly they would. He got a bundle of stuff
together, and as he could not remember the
name of the patient at the hospital he sent
them to Whitcomb's office. Here Is an in
ventory of the contents of that bundle:
16 white muslin string ties.
1 pink silk shirt minus an arm
1 golf stocking.
yachting caps.
/ pair of bicycle breeches.
! white flannel coat.
/ tennis shoe.
/ bicycle shoe.
1 lady's combination suit.
II handkerchiefs.
l can of pate de foie gras
lemons.

Sundries will be cheaper and better than ever
this year. Dealers say that the demand for
cycle accessories OF all kinds is large and that
heavy trade is expected. This is attributed TO
the fact that the prices Of wheels being lower
buyers feel better able to indulge themselves In
the direction Of fittings. While the demand Is
chiefly for cheap wheels. the demand on sun
dries is mostly for the highest grade OF goods
The best OF il from a riders standpoint Is that

A FINE RESIDENCE.

The new residence of Homer Fits on
Park street has just been completed and
is now ready for occupancy, and in
every way it is q model home, being To-
Gated in one of the best residential por-
tons of the city, while the house itself

and below II small raised panels, max
ing very attractive entrance. The
front hall is large and tastefully ar
ranged with two colored loaded WIN
dows at the side and an oval window at
front. The hall is finished in oak.
There is n very convenient system of
electric lights which can be turned off
and on from the hall Dy flush switches.
The parlor opens from the hall and is
finished in red birch. The sitting-room
is also connected by an oaken door with
the hall. This is finished in oak, and is
fitted with pretty bronze Fireplace.
Next to this is room to be used us n
sort of office or writing room. The
dininr-room is the room to attract the
most attention. This is finished in cypress
and the tinted paper on the walls makes
it very pleasant room.

venient, it is furnished with hot and
cold water and has refrigerator into
which ice can be placed from the out
side. The boiler at the range is encascd
in white wood. In the cellar is large

pine floors and white wood finish.
There is large room for storage pur-
poses and three pleasant sleeping rooms,

tion of the house. but, of course, 1t must
be seen before its beautyis appreciated.
The house was built by Fred Waters,
and it is estimated at about S6,O00.O0.
The porch at the side OF the house
facing South is Il very pleasant place to
sit in summer as it is shaded by large
Maple trees and there is good view
from the spot. ,..
Mr.. Fits is to be congratulated upon
his addition to the beauty OF the CITY
and for the pleasant home he is about
