WORK OF CONGRESS
In the senate.

Washington, Dec. IL. - Charles A.
Towne, appointed to succeed the late
senator c. X. Davis of Minnesota, was
in attendance at the opening or the
senate's session yesterday. Mr.. Mel
son Of Minnesota at once presented
the credentials Of Mr.. Towne and they
were read.
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire
chairman of the committee on priv
ileges and elections. called attention to
the last clause Of h credentials,
which was that Mr.. Towne should hold
his seat Until his successor was elect
ed and qualified. He said the Constitu-
ton provided simply that the APP
pointee should hold office until the
legislature had met. I'm h d
tials presented" said Mr.. Chandler
1.-THE governor has undertaken TO pre-
scribe the length of the new senator's
term. The added clause of the cre-
dentials, Of course. is superfluous. l
desire simply to call attention to his
fact and have no intention TO object
to the swearing in of Mr.. Towne."
The new senator was conducted to
the desk by Mr.. Nelson and the oath
Of office was administered by MI.
Frye, the president pro tenn.
The point made by Senator Chandler
may be brought up again after the
Minnesota legislature IS IN session.
The Constitution provides for appoint
ment only until the next meeting OF
the legislature. In case of the failure
Of the legislature, through a deadlock
or otherwise, to elect a senator to fill
the vacancy, there might be some
| question as to the right OF Mr.. Towne
to vote and continue to act as senator.
No business Of importance vas rams
acted in open session.

the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, was passed by the

pages. but there was less than ten
minutes debate upon it. Mr.. Bingham

the measure, rendered his thanks to
the house for the confidence shown In
the appropriations committee. II re-
quired about three hours for the clerk
to read the bill. No other business

Why Philadelphia Family is Still Living on

Philadelphia Record.
When old Jacob Willoughby died
last week Kensington lost one of her
unique characters. Previous to the
Centennial Exposition of 1876 Mr..
Willoughby was seized with a fear
that the millions OF visitors who were
expected in the city would deplete the
food markets of Philadelphia and that
q famine would ensue. So firmly did
he become convinced of the truth of
his prediction that he Immediately
laid in an enormous stock of edibles,
mostly canned goods. The cellar Of
his house was piled high with pre-.
serves, potted meats, canned vegetables
and nearly every other article of nom
perishable foods.
Of course the anticipated famine
did not materialize and Mr.. Willough-
by was left with his stores ON his
hands. He might have disposed of
them, but that would have meant adj
hitting his mistake, and so he kept
them. For twenty-three years, &C.
cording to q we'll authenticated re-
port, he has fed his family and his
guests on the aftermath of his centen.
NAL stock and when company came
there was great rejoicing in the fam
lily, for then the stuff went faster At
the time of the old gentleman's death
there was still portion of it left.
