dry places, and he is as versatile today in his willy arts as when he first tempted the palate of mortal man. The new con- gressmen need have no fear. They can have their thirsts extracted in the house restaurant as usual, and without pain, unless that calamity comes the next morning. Just as might makes right among nations, so does "a congressman make right in Washington. Whisky will likely be served in china cups in the fu- ture in the house restaurant, and the pa- irons will ask innocently for congressional tea.
 Clerks In Pension Office.
 The number of women clerks in the pen sion office is not being increased. This was the policy adopted by Commissioner Evans when he was in office. and it is said that Commissioner Ware will follow the example of his predecessor. There are now only $50 women employed in the bu- reau. while the male employees number 1886. 1t Is not the policy to Increase the number of women. although some of them have higher grade in the civil service examination than the men who are being given the positions. The dislike to women clerks also extends to the geological sur vey and the general land office. How eyer, this aversion Is not shared by all the departments, and many of them pre- fer women.
 The New Senators.
 Fifteen new senators took their seats in the United States senate during the week Seven of them come from states located east of the Mississippi and eight come from states west of that great river.,t
 The political complexion of the senate Is changed two votes by the last sena- torial elections Counting Senator Well lington as republican, six republicans go out. They are Senators Deboe, Jones, of Nevada, Mason Pritchard, Simon and Wellington. Seven democrats go out They are Senators Harris, Heitfeid. Jones of Arkansas; MeLaurin, of South Carolina; Rawlins, Turner and Vest. Senator Me- Laurin has, during the latter part of his term, acted with the republicans gen erally and did not go Into the democratic caucuses
 Of the senators who took their seats during the week, eight are republicans and seven are democrats. The republi- can gain is thus made up by the election of two senators from Delaware, which has so long been without representation In the senate. The republican incoming senators are Long of Kansas succeeding Harris; Hepburn of Idaho. succeeding Clarke; Hopkins, succeeding Mason. Shoot of Utah, succeeding Rawlins; Full ton of Oregon, succeeding simon; Ank ney of Washington succeeding Turner; Ball and Alice of Delaware. The demo- cratic senators who take their seats to- day are McCreary of Kentucky, succeed ing Deboe; Clarke of Arkansas. succeed ing James K. Jones; Newlands. succeed ing J. P Jones; Latimer of South Caro- lima, succeeding McLaurin; Overman of North Carolina, succeeding Pritehard; Stone of Missouri succeeding Vest, and German of Maryland, succeeding Yelling ton.
 The net result of the change will be to add two to the republican majority.

The Next Congress.

The next congress will be right on the eve of a Presidential campaign, and the proceedings will, therefore, be of a very interesting nature. 4
 John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi will doubtless be the floor leader Of the democrats, and if he Is, the iniquities of the republican party will not go unchal- lenged
 There is a division among the repub- licans as to the wisdom of bringing in ar- bitrary rules and railroadlng legislation through under them These republicans see that no good can come to their party by such action, and are anxious to have it stopped.
 The word ''ilibuster" was the feature of the last days of the congress just closed. Several bills were defeated in the senate by means of the senatorial vocal organs. The statehood bill was lulled to sleep by the choir led by Senator Beve- ridge; Senator Aldrichs financial bill was buried under an avalanche of words and Senator Lodges Philippine bill was among the ''also rams" Senator Bailey had an important loci bill killed by the wit of Senator Mason. Senator Morgan sent the Panama canal treaty to a lingering death under the torture of his monotonous voice.

one crisis In Lord Pnlmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
cnmity Is at It's worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the uDper

that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
ana his policy from the dusk of one
DAY to the dawn Of another with such
tact dexterlty and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by a majority of
fourscore.
Next day In passing through the cor

Fash iOnnlIlc Life In Ttnly-

The fashionable season in Italy. says
Luigi Villari In Italian Life In Town
and Country" Is from Christmas to
easter, the time generally known as
the carnival. At Naples, Mcssina and
some other places there is also sum
mer season. Commenting OH the Pc
culiarities Of life among the upper
classes, Mr.. Villari says:
Italians. even in the grandcst cstab
lishmcnts. do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there Is party. a
black cost Is enough for ordinary pur-
poses. a few men who wish to be par
tcularly fashionable wear a smoking
coat with black tic. which garment
Is sufficient for all save very large din
ner parties and balls. On the other
hand. there are occasions when Il man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t Is de
rlgucur at court functions, even in
mornings, and at weddings. Ladies
wear hats at the theaters except on
gala nights They display more jew
r!ry hy day than English ladies' The
Italian nriStocrncy have magnificent
Jewels. and even In quite small towns,
where there is no great wealth, the old
famil rs can make Il fine display. The
tall hat is only necessary at marriages,
inHrrllS and at court. Young men Of
fashion wear 1t also when paying calls
during the season. Among the Dcu,-
geoisie evening clothes are hardly ever
worn ut nll."

EX-LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR OF LOUISr
ANA KILLED.
A Well-Known Barber Stays Clay Knotloc
In Self Defense No lntlma-
ton as to the Cause.

Thibodeaux, La., May lS-A shoot
ing atfrsy which resulted in the kill.
lug of OK Lieut. Gov. Clay Kuobloc
occurred early this morning in Main
street and created q great deal OF ex-
ci,ement. The shooting was done by
James Garault, we'll known barber.
The trouble leading up to the kill
ing is practically unknown. 1t was
130 o'clock when the killing occurred.
1t took place IN section Of Main
street that ;s usually crowded. Sev.
eral witnesses of the shooting were
found but they refused TO talk further
than to say that Garault shot in self
defense
Ihe two men were seen talking to-
ge.her when suddenly ex- Lieut.. Gov.
Knoploc drew his revolver. 1t ap.
peared that he experienced some trou
bic with tho weapon and it failed to
explode. Meantime Garault whipped
ut his revolver and opened fire on
his adversary. That his aim was true
IS established by the autopsy held by
the coroner, who found five wounds
in the dead mans body. Either of
the several wounds would have proved
fatal Ex Lieut.. Gov. Kuobloc, it is
understood, did not &c, chance to
use his revolver after Garault got his
out.
Garault surrendered to the authori-
ties immediately and is being held
for the present, but it il certain that
he will be allowed bond.
Henry Clay Knobloc was native
Of Lafourche parish He served as
lieutenant governor under Gov. Sam
uIe -. McEnery, now United States
senator. He has been practicing law
at Thibodeaux, where he lived with
his wife. He is survived by her and
one son, Earle, who is engaged in
business in New Orleans.
