SUPPER PARTY IS
SPOILED BY A WIFE.
Offended Woman Surprises Her
Husband and Causes Dra-
matte Scene.

Two women, couple Of stems full
of beer and a man made up the dra-
matte personae and property Of a do
mestic drama that had its denouement
before a crowd Of people in the Metro
politan hotel cafe last evening. An
unknown had the part Of the Offend
ed wife. Miss Dorothy Howard played
against her and the husband was the
man in the case.
The room was crowded with people
supping after the theater when pret-
ty little woman walked into the cafe
from the Fourth street entrance, walked
over to one of the private stalls lining
the apartment, threw back the curtain
over the door and entered. Instantly
there was a scream, an oath, the crash
of glass and a man ran out of the stall
and into the street.
The little woman had trail
ed her husband and Miss Howard,
a large woman wearing a sealskin and
diamonds, from the union station,
where the man is employed, to the
stall in the Metropolitan. Armed with
indignation she waited until the pair
had ordered edibles and drinkableS and
then appeared.
The trouble only lasted minute.
The little woman spoiled the sealskin
sack and dimmed the diamonds with
one stein of beer and threw the other
in the face of her reereant spouse, mug
and all.
After the crash OF glass the little
woman made some remarks to the 9TH
or Ivhila her husband fled The DAODle
in the dining room, who had come to
understand what had happened, ap-
plauded the little woman as she went
out, and the other woman left shortly
after. A handsome fur lined coat the
spoils of war, zleftSb the man, was sent
for shortly by the big woman, Miss
Dorothy Howard, slfving at the Sterling
hotel. Miss Howard explained that she
had presented to the man the coat on
the occasion of his birthday, Friday.

CANNON MAY DELAY
HIS COMMITTEE LIST
House in Meantime VIII Dis
cuss Manner of Ending
Extra Session.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20
The inter esting feature of the coming
weeks proceedings in the house of rep
resentatives will be the announcement
of committees by Speaker Cannon.
The announcement is looked for on
Tuesday, on which day the first ses-
sion of the week will be held. The
speaker says, however, there may be
delays, in which case the members will
not know their several fates as to
committee assignments until Friday,
when it is proposed to hold the next
session, Or perhaps until Saturday.
In just what manner the extra ses-
sion is to end, whether by joint reSo-
luton of the two houses or by the
operation Of the constitutional pro-
vision convening the regular session
on the first Monday in December, is
another interesting feature of the
weeks development The precedents
on this point are being spread before
the speaker for his guidance.
House leaders have taken the posi-
ton that no matter how the extra ses-
sion ends the responsibility for it's ter
mination in the absence of the COM
pletion of the Cuban legislation should
not rest with the lower branch of con-
gress. For this reason there is some
objection to a joint resolution unless
the form Of adjournment should come
from the senate.
In the absence Of such a resolu-
ton the plan suggested so far as the
house is concerned is to take a recess
on Saturday until a few minutes be-
fore IL o'clock Monday, then to ad-
journ the extra session and assemble
the regular session precisely on the
hour of IL. The extra session will be
designated the first session of the
y-eighth congress and the regular
session the second.
In the absence of quorum in the
house during the week the minority In
that body will be in a position to
shape the course of events to some
extent.
Representative Williams, the minor
ity leader, announces that When the
house meets Tuesday the attention of
the country will be called again to "the
spectacle of a Republican congress in
session, but doing nothing" Should
the leaders of the majority not take
this curtain lecture good naturedly and
peremptorily cut it off the point will
be made by the minority that mo
quorum" is present, which, under the
rule, will necessitate a meeting of the
house each day.
At each one. of these meetings the
same effort will be made by the minor
ity to emphasize the inaction of con
gress.
Should the weeks session proceed
without a quorum in this manner it
will be impossible to recognize or con-
slider an adjournment resolution in
which case the extra session necessar-
lily will expire by limitation.

A WORLD OF GRAFT.

Practically everything needed for
the conduct of the postoffioo de-
partnent was source of graft, ac
cording to the report made by AS
sistant Postmaster General Bristow.
The report shows in detail the
amount of the loot, but the total is
involved in much complexity. The
graft was obtained from such varied
sources as the purchase of canceIing
ink, mixing pads, manifold books,
money order books, carriers straps
and satcheis, Croft fasteners, paint,
carriers leather cases, street letter
boxes, package boxes, Montague in
dicators, rural carriers badges, au-
tomato cashiers books, typewriters,
time recorders, canceling machines.
Fraud is proven in the making of
leases, passing on fraudulent
schemes, clerk hire leases, and prac
ticalIy every form of disbursement
by the postoffice department. The
total amount of loot is shown to be
enormous.

Sheehan laughed and turned toward
the door, but before he could reach
it Berganus drew a revolver and with

was shot in the head and instantly
killed.
Throwing Sheehan's body out upon

Senate Will Wait.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 29.-
The senate will not do any business
other than of a routine character dur
ing the present week. 1t will meet
Tuesday, and unless the house mani
tests a disposition by that time to
reach a final adjournment, will ad-
journ over to the following Friday.
The understanding is that the senate
will not originate a resolution for the
adjournment of the session, but some
senators entertain the hope that the
house will send over an adjournment
resolution not later than Friday The
Cuban reciprocity bill is on the calen-
dar as the unfinished business, but no
speeches will be made on it until after
the beginning of the regular session a
week from tomorrow.
The committee on military affairs
will continue it's inquiry into the case
of Gen. Wood during the week.

EDITORIAL
OBSERVATIONS

Similar impressions are rarely re-
ceived of Reno if the observer per-
mits two or three weeks to elapse be-
tween his visits.
1t is true that there are always
evidences of growth and prosperity
to be witnessed. The spirit of prog
ress has certainly hit that town in
dead earnest, but it evidences itself
in odd forms sometimes.
There is a hap hazard method of
doing things there that is especially
noticeable in the line of municipal
improvements. For instance a subway
is built and the town fathers consider
hat this ends their task and they
sleep a few weeks before they place
electric lights so that the wayfarer
may find the structure.
Then they enthusiastically lay a
modern cross-walk and leave the
debris lying where it was thrown, a
menace to travellers and a grievous
evesore.

y AND COMMENTS

Hundreds of dwellings will be need
ed soon and yet building operations
are practically at a stand still, and
we're before cold weather set in. Cap
italists are evidently afraid to erect
a structure unless it is leased in ad-
vance. This will result in an unhealthy
building boom later in the season,
causing the importation of hundreds
of mechanics, nearly all of whom will
be thrown out of employment when
the boom abates.
More praise than censure, however,
is attachable to the people of Reno.
Within the past three years they
have emerged from the encasement
of silurianism and have gone to the
front. Men like P. l.. Flanagan
Harry Gosse, Alex Dromiac II doz-
ems of others have built palatlal US
mess blocks and stately residences .
They have seized the tide of prosper
ity at it's food and it is carrying them
on to opulence.
