DEAD MEMBERS
ARE EULOGRED
House Conducts Memo
rial Services at Sun
day Session.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The House of
Representatives to-day began the hold
ing OF memorial services for deceased
members on Sunday. This practice will
be followed hereafter during this session,
and probably will become general in the
House in the future. Heretofore, except
on very rare occasions, the House has
broken in on its executive work Friday
and Saturday to listen to euogies on de-
ceased members, but the time has seldom
been propitious and latterly the practice
has been meeting with growing dis
favor. On account of the pressure of
public business at this session it was de-
cided to hold these memorial sessions on
Sunday. and during the course of their
eulogies several members took occasion
to voice their commentator of the in
novation and to express their opinion
that it should be followed in the future
At the session to-day tribute was paid
TO the life and public services of the late
Representatives Russell OF Connecticut a nd
Sheppard and De Graffenreid of Texas
gressional recess. The attendance I'm the
galleries was quite large, and there was
3 numerous assemblage of friends of the
deceased members on the floor The fol-
lowing members paid tribute to the mem
ory of Mr. Russell: Messrs Brandape
of Connecticut, Capron of Rhode Island
Sperry Of Connecticut, Hill of Connecti-
cut, Henry of Connecticut. Payne of New
York. Mcclellan of New York, Dalzeu of
Pennsylvania, Grosvenor of Ohio and
Mccall of Massachusetts
Those who eulogized Mr.. Shepnard
were: Messrs. Henry of Texas. Brant-
ley of Georgia, Ball of Texas. Randall
of Texas, Burleson of Texas and Feelev
Of Illinois.
Those who eulogized Mr.. de Graffenreid
were: Messrs. Russell of Texas SteDbens

Oakland office San francisco Can.

Ills Broadway, Jan. p.
While donning his vestments in prepa-
ration to celebrate the mass, Few. Father
William Gleason, the aged pastor of So.
Anthony's Church. East Oakland was
stricken with paralysis this morning at
10 o'clock in his room at the parochiaI
residence, Sixteenth avenue and East Fiji
teenth street.
The venerable priest was found in
sinking condition by the housekeeper,
who summoned Father McHugh, a priest
Of st. Francis de Sales parish who has
been assisting in the parish work. They
made the stricken clergyman as comfort
able as possible pending the arrival of
Dr. B. F. StetsOn, who was summoned.
The physician found that the pastor had
suffered from an attack of partial
paralysis, affecting the left side of his
head and body. 1t had been caused by
hemOrrhage Of the brain. the extent ot
which cannot as yet be fully determined
DR.. StetsOn is hopeful that the patient
will recover from the attack, although
he is to be most carefully guarded
against another cerebral hemOrrhage. the
consequences of which may be considered
alarming, considering the age Of the
clergyman.
1t develved upon Father McHugh to
inform the assembled worshipers 1880
o'clock, the hour for the mass. Of the
sudden illness that had stricken the
reverend pastor.
A month ago Father Gleason fell and
dislocated his right shoulder. The in
jury incapacitated him for time, but
left no permanent effects, so the doctor
said He is 76 years old.
The aged priest was a classmate OF
Rev. Father Michael King, pastor Of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception OF
this city, fifty years ago in All Hallows'
College, Dublin, where both of the priests
we're graduated and ordained intO the
sacred office. They are the oldest living
students of that celebrated ecclesiastical
institution.

For French vegetable soup cut Il
large onion into thin slices and put
them in a pan with three tablespoon
fuls of butter; let them simmer to-
sether half an hour and add two quarts
of water. Have prepared one pint of

Glove of garlic. one eschalot, one tea
spoonful of sugar, one-third of tea
spoonful of pepper and salt and cook

Effort and Its Eject.

1t pays to think. 1t is like putting
money out at interest. Dollars make dol
lars, and thoughts make other thoughts.
We are so accustomed to having this
old world reward us for things we
do in dollars that we forget there is
such reward as brains-mental
growth. Happy the one who sees all
these things in their proper light, who
recognizes in every failure lesson
learned, in every effort reward, be it
only little speck of mental energy.

A MEAT ITEM.

Ham NNsy Useful In Gold weather.
"Pan BrOils" and Other Wrinkles.
Through the cold weather the house
hold financier will find her meat bill
considerably lower if she keeps part of
a ham on hand.
For a small family the larger end Of
a medium sized ham is better than an
entire ham. At the time of purchasing
have the butcher cut several slices
from your purchase. These may be
rubbed with lard or suet fat and will
keep in prime condition for week at
least. The grease is easily wiped off
when frying time comes.
Ham may be broiled, but for most
families it is best to pan broil' it, for
in this way the fat is kept for frying
purposes. Pan cooked ham should be
cooked slowly. drawing the pan back
from the fire after the first few mo-
ments. Always freshen the first slice
cooked, and then use Judgment Some
ham is fresh enough for immediate
use 1t is unnecessary when having
boiled ham and vegetables for dinner
or baked ham for the principal meat
dish to boil the entire amount of ham.
Especially is this undesirable in small
families, where one soon tires of dish
often repeated. Cut off four or five
pounds of the ham in a compact chunk
and boil or bake it, leaving the rest to
be used later on in the same or differ
ent way. One should remember that
the ham viii keep if the sliced side Is
rubbed with lard or cornmeal almost

Do not use it so frequently that the
members of your family tire of the
name ham. Remember it is only to sup
plement and exc out the purchase Of
other meat, more especially for break
fasts and luncheons.
If the ham has not been skinned.

| is cool enough to handle scrape and
wash clean. If the ham is large
whole one, it will require a wash boiler
| in which to boil. For the small piece OF
ham mentioned above use an agate ket-
tie. When the cold water with which 1t
was covered comes to the boiling point,
| draw the kettle to the back OF the
stove, where it will cook gently until
soft enough to pierce with fork
Change the water twice while it is
cooking, adding boiling water each
time. \ cupful OF vinegar added to the
last water improves the flavor wonder

and set to COOL 1t should be skinned
as soon as possible. If too hot, dip the
hand constantly in cold water while re
moving the skin, which comes off read
ily with the fingers just as one peels al
orange. Put the ham in a baking PAL
and set in the oven for time to draw
out the grease, which will tend to maxi

of mold, set it at once in the oven TO
awhile.
