COLD FOR CONGRESS-
vvAsHrNGTON WEATHER NOW IS
 VERY DISAGREEABLE.
rrx-Goyerror sayers Visits Scenes Of His Former Labors and Lunches with Two Other JOes, Bailey
 and Cannon.

vashinxton. Jan. 6.--(Special )-As snairated in former specials of this cor respondence, Congress resumed its short session following the holidays on Wednesday with hardly quorum In either house.. In the House of Repre- aentatfyes there was barely more than a hundred members present The Sem ate was surer of a quorum. and upon d call could like as not have fopnd fifty of the ninety Senators in town.
 Passenger traffic had been delayed by the untoward stress of weather and travel being unpleasant doubtless ac- counted for the unusually slender at- tendance of Congressmen. The day Of the meeting was only fit for the hardi- est members to be out of doors. It was extremely cold and gusts of cut ting winds blew over icy streets and snow drifts. It was a day following a night of blizzardly blasts as fierce as Washington has seen since the mem orabie winter storm of February. lsss. when snow was four-and-a-half feet on the level, and when dusk came on khe day of its worst, every available means of travel by vehicle was out of business simply because 1t could not move in the blinding tempest The two houses held late that day and many members slept In committee rooms in the capitol. It is not so bad this time. but rigorous enough to ex- act the utmost care to prevent suffer- ing. Still Congress met, and one house .-the Senate-got down to business. The House of Representatives got an early adjournment on account of the oficfal notice of the death of Repre- sentative -Mahoney of Illinois.
 The Senate lost no time tackling its calendar and went at its work as had gel amount of business for its short ses- sion. The statehood bill was taken up by vote and began its precarious and indefinite career. doomed, if the avow- ais of its opponents are significant, to expire with the end of the session.
 The hundred or so House members after the adjournment scattered for the most part to look after committee duties while a fair proportion mingled and Iunched together. A we'll known former member of the House, ex-Gov- ernor Savers of Texas. was greeted by members generally. Governor Savers was fourteen years a member of Con = gress. serving from the Forty-ninth to the Fifty fifth, when he resigned to be- come Governor of the Lone Star State. He was one of three notable Joes who iunched together Wednesday in the Senate rathskelier. the other two being Senator Bailey and speakef Cannon in other words. Joseph D. Savers, Jo- seph ". Bailey and Joseph c. Cannon.
 President Roosevelt has appointed former Congressman Robert w TayIer of Lisbon. O.. as Judge of the Northern District of Ohio, While Judge Tayler resides in that district there was no opposition to his appointment in the shape of other aspirants. so that 1t is not clear that the West Tennessee op- position to the appointment of James C. McReyn olds to the West Tennessee 5udgship can derive any comfort from this appointment. Nothing showing the drift toward anybody for the prize

 The Ire company will give it's an- nual supper Friday evening. when the members expect the best efforts of the Committee on Entertainment will be put forth.
 Next Tuesday will be big day in Greenville. A call has been made for all the farmers to organize a Cotton Growers Protective Association, and much interest Is being taken in the movement.

 So far but little interest has been taken In the purchase of fertilizers. This time last year q great deal had been hauled to the farms, whereas this year but little has been delivered Some of the farmers say they will use but little this year, that they will plant their best land in cotton that needs no fertilization. and on he other they will plant peas. corn, oats and other forage and feed stuffs.

 This unfavorable reception to Johns testimony. this querulous and rasping catechism of the great preacher in the presence of his audience. by the high- est authority of the Church, Is the be- ginning of that inveterate and deadly opposition referred to in the prologue of this gospel.

Better showing Made.

Havana. Jan. 5.-The results of the operation of reciprocity the first half of last year make a better showing with money eliminated from the im- ports. The advance figures given to the American legation and the Asso- ciated Press by the government statis- tical department January 8, while given as merchandise, included impor- tations of money from the United States, which during the first six months of 1904. amounted to only $6S2,- 600 while In the corresponding months of 1903 the amount was $1,S69. 400. Eliminating money importations both years. there Is shown an increase in importations of merchandise from the United States amounting to 25 per cent. as against l2 1-2 with money included. The elimination of money from the totals of imports makes no appreciable difference with the figures of imports from Europe. except In the case of Spain whose increase in exports to Cuba are slightly reduced thereby.

The Art of Rentiua.

To understand how to rest is of more importance than to know how to work. The latter can be learned if one will give ones mind to 1t, but the former is an act some people never acquire.
 Rest necessitates change of scena and activities. Lounging is very of- ten tiring, sleeping is not always rest full and sitting down with nothing to ,io is simply to invoke weariness A change is needed to bring into play a different set of faculties. and to direct the thoughts into q new channel.
 The woman who Is weary and heavy laden with care finds relief in active employment with freedom from respon- sibility. The brain worker generally finds her best rest in playing hard. Rest may be found n many different ways. but it is quite a mistake to ex- pect to find 1t in idleness.

treme self Indulgence. It was na golden mean. By It's extreme aus. terity it was designed to accentuats the wanton luxury of the day. It was not an ideal life obligatory on all. A pretty world this. if Nazaritism were universal.
 Our modern temperance socities are a Christian Nazaritism. They are 6 moral enterprise. aiming to raise the public practice to a standard of tenn perance by exhibiting an abstinence from even an otherwise innocent measure of indulgence.
 There is no evidence that the Rap. tist ever went near the temple. He makes no allusion to existing forms except to reveal their emptiness. He asserts the impossibility of a religious life apart from an ethical one. The repentance which will not share its abundance of coats with a naked brother is no account in Johns eye.
 With John there is a passing of an old idea that the kingdom of heaven is a deposit which is simply to be re- ceived into waiting hearts. The Kingdom is a spiritual and human work. which with infinite pain and incessant toll is to be carried to con- summation. Up to Johns day the kingdom was matter of expectation, but from his day onward the king. dom Is taken. not received, and in the taking there is such moral earnest ness as to have the appearance of violence.
 The prophecy of Isaiah was ths text book of the Baptist He had no use f..R monial, nor yet for Joshua. with its martial conquests, but Isaiah's vision of the spirituality of God and his call to service was his meat and drink.
