Women Take Of Their Hats

There is one new and interesting sight in the house and press galleries this session. It is the increasing frequency with which women take off their hats when they enter the galleries, so that those sitting back of them can see. This is the direct result of the excellent agitation in favor of wom- en removing their hats in the theatres. It is done in every Washington theatre, and the woman with hat on during the per formance is so much the exception as to feel uncomfortable and to cause comment. Now the reform is extending to the con- gressional galleries. It is one of the latter day reforms, such as rainy day skirts, that show the progressiveness of modern wom- en, just as do the long street-sweeping trains that are now fashionable, show that despite the efforts of the new women fash ion still holds sway

TWO MEETINGS
Republicans Meet at Chocolocco and
 Have Usual Split

hcans held county mass meeting al Choccolocco today, or rather two meetings One meeting selected delegates favorable to Vaughan for state chairman, and ther the Bingham followers met and selected delegates favorable to his candidacy fo1 that position. The first meeting endorsed w. F. Aldrich for national delegate and J. M Ragan for sheriff, but the second endorsed no one for delegate or county offices.
 The populists had county convention at Jacksonville today and nominated a complete county ticket, except superintend- ent of education and tax collector An effort for fusion between republicans and populists with division of county officers failed.

Visitors Enjoy Show Days

Visitors to Washington are always anX- ious to enjoy a show day in either the sen- ate or the house. Those here Monday had that opportunity, when Senators Depew, Cullom, Bate, Spooner and Perkins dis cussed the several phases of the Porto Rican question. But visitors and residen- tial Washingtonians make the mistake of leaving too early. That occurred Mon- day. Senators Bate and Cullom had spoken and then came Depew with his customary eloquence. Spooner was to follow. So soon as Depew had finished the galleries began to clear. Strangers did not recognize the little man with the bushy hair who rose from a seat on the center aisle and said: MT. President" They had heard Depew and thought the best of it was over. MT Spooner had to wait few minutes for the galleries to get settled. A number had gone out, but they were still very well filed Depew had been eloquent, but Sponer was masterful in argument, his speech being a carefully prepared legal exposition of the constitutional question involved in the Porto Rican question, and one that had taken much more time to prepare, and was much fuller of thought and meat than De- pew's speech, admirable and eloquent though the New Yorker had been. They missed the ready wit, the repartee of the Wisconsin senator when Tillman of South Carolina or Mason of Illinois or Bacon of Georgia tackled him. They missed the clear constitutional exposition of his side of the case, and the real, genuine, unstudied elo- quence.
