is CONGRESS JUDGE OF ELECTION
AND RETURN OF ITS MEMBERS t?
Question Whether the Supreme Court Is Not
the Power.
BY R. M. LARNER.

Washington, April 9. - The re-
port of the committee in the
contested election case of Dantzler, the
Orangeburg negro against Representa-
tive Leve, figured prominently in
the Supreme Court this week in the
argument of Lawyer Wise against the
constitutionality of the Virginia con-
stitution. This case involves many
points of contentious in all the South
ern constitutions, and the hearing was
largely attended by representatives
and senators, especially from the
South.
In the course of argument Lawyer
Wise was interrupted by Justice Har-
Ian, with the observation that Con-
gress was the judge of the election
and return of its own members. Mr.
Wise retorted that he, too, had al
ways been under that impression I'M
til a House committee unanimously
reported, and the House without de-
bate adopted the report on the Dantz-
ler-Leve case, in which it was held
that Congress was not the proper tri-

HEPBURN ON PURE FOOD.
Senator Pointed Ont the Dangers in
DeIeterious Substances.


DeIeterious Substances.
Washington, April 6.-After waiting
with much patience for many days Mr..
Hepburn to-day found opportunity to
speak to the Senate on the subject of
pure food. Technically the speech was
in support of resolution calling upon
the Secretary of Agriculture to send
to the Senate the results of the inves-
legations made by his department into
adulterated foods, but in reality it was
in support of the pure food bill.
Mr. Hepburn contended that very
large proportion of foods, drugs and
liquors were adulterated. The ply
sicians of the country want the legis-
lation, he said, because AInder existing
conditions they cannot have their pre-
scriptions filled as they wish. They
often secure effects exactly the OPP
posite of that intended. Out of four
teen samples of drugs advertised thir-
teen were found to be rank frauds.
More than so per cent. of the patent
medicines were, Mr.. Hepburn said, de-
leterious to health, while a large per
cent were absolutely poisonous.
Mr. Hepburn also referred to the
practice of keeping meats in cold
storage. saying that they are often held
for years while after three months
they are absolutely deleterious.

tuition; that the Supreme Court should
be called upon to pass upon a ques-
ton which was purely judicial In its
character. 1t seemed to Lawyer Wise
that the colored brother was between
the devil and the deep blue sea, !"
and that both Congress and the Su-
preme Court seemed anxious to evade
the question.
The LeVe case has been commented
upon in every great daily in the coun-
try, and will no doubt play an i'm
portant part in the settlement of the
veXed question.
AS Representative Scarborough and
Leve were leaving the court room
they were met by one of their Re-
publican friends-a member-who in
quired the reason for the jam of ne
groes that crowded the Supreme Court
room and the corridors leading to 1t,
and when being told, expressed sur
prise, Mr.. Leve ventured to remark
that the whites of the South had Of
ten been accused of intimidating the
negro, and perhaps, in some case with
Justice, but they had never been &C
cused of attempting to overawe the
Supreme Court of the United States,

Large department stores OF this city

from the windy, muddy streets. drops
into a big, comfortable rocker or curlS
up on couch for a few minutes, then
goes to the dressing room, washes her
face, combs and curls her hair, fishes
a powder rag from somewhere and
takes the shine off her face, and takes
a new stock out of her reticule and
adjusts it. Then the waiting maid
comes with a whisk broom, a needle

shopper is transformed into new be-

too soon, she puts in the rest of her
time writing letters on the firms sta
tionery; 1t saves her own embossed
paper.
The cost to establishments that offer
these comforts to the public Is very
large, as may be supposed. There are
ladies' maids in constant attendance,
cleaners always on hand. dozens of
towels are used during a day, great
quantities of soap. powder, hairpins
and any amount OF letter paper ana
envelopes. The furnishing and fitting
Of these parlors and dressing rooms
cost thousands OF dollars. But the
money all comes back in some way
or other. 1t is easy enough to see
how the stores make 1t pay. AS for
the hotels. 1t keeps their names before
the public as being hospitable and
well patronized, and IL there Is any
thing that will attract patronage to
a hotel it Is being known as places
where everybody goes and where
things are done on generous and
elaborate scale.
1t is a curious thing to note, In con-
trast to the gratuitous and luxurious
comforts offered the women Of New
York, that there are no such places
where men may go and make them
selves presentable. The man who
wants to brush up bit without going
all the way nome must ME hlmseE
to a barber shop, rent a room at a
hotel or keep membership in a down
town club. There are no establish
ments that supply free valet service
or any other opportunities whereby a
man may make a hurried toilet and
improve his personal appearance, IL
he finds himself looking wilted and
generally dilapidated. Mans way is to
get into a barber shop, emerge all
rosy, shiny and smelly with barber
shop perfumes, then make for cafe,
where he puts on the finishing touches
by taking a drink.

Republicans and Socialists would seize
