CONGRESS READY
FOR BUSINESS
Great Crowd Present to Witness the
Opening Session.
Senate Soon Adjourns as Mark OF
Respect to Late Senator Platt -
House Receives Large Number OF
Bills Covering a Variety Of Inn
portant Subjects.

Washington, Dec. s.. - The assemb-
ling yesterday of the members of the
Fifty.ninth congress for their first ses-
sion was marked by no unusual incl
dents, but it attracted 20 the capitol
crowds of spectators, who took lively
interest in the proceedings. The day
was beautiful. The sun shone brightly
and the air was keen. Society was out
in force and filled the reserved CALLER.
les, while visitors unable to find seats
roamed the corridors to catch glimpses
of public men. In the senate the pro-
ceedings were brief, adjournment being
taken after session of 20 minutes out
of respect to the late Senator Platt of
Connecticut, but most of the spectators
seemed to find quite as much to interest
them in observing the senators who re-
mained on the floor after adjournment
as they could have expected had the
session continued longer.
The house was in session for more
than three hours, and, while the pro-
ceedings followed the program that has
marked the opening of congress for
many years, there was enough of inter-
est to hold an exceptionally large audi
ence during the entire time. Cannon
was reelected speaker.

SENATE IS PUZZLED.
Knows Not How to Act on Death Of
Senator Mitchell.

Washington, Dec. 9.-It is yet to be
determined whether the senate will pay
the same tribute to the memory of SEN
ator Mitchell that has been paid to
every other senator who died in office.
Mitchells death raises very perplex-
ing problem. which the senate itself
must solve, for he died under circum-
stances never before recorded in the
history of the senate. There is no pre-
cedent to follow, and whatever action
is taken must form precedent which
will stand for all time.
1t has been the custom, when any
senator died in Office, for the vice pres
ident to appoint committee to attend
the funeral as representatives OF the
senate, it has been customary for the
senate, at its first meeting following
the death, to Immediately adjourn out
of respect, and it has been customary for
the senate, at some subsequent date, to
hold eulogies, giving other senators an
opportunity to pay tribute to the men,
ory of their deceased colleague.
1t is fact that there has been most
profound sympathy on the part of his
colleagues, and frequent expressions of
regret have been heard since misfor-
tune overlook him. But some senators
who sympathized with him deeply are
among those who question whether the
senate, under the circumstances,
should strictly adhere to custom and
pay the same respect to his memory as
to others who died in goood standing in
the senate and before the country. For
all his misfortunes, Mitchell had many
friends in the senate, men who deeply
mourn his loss.

Mitchell Resigns Chairmanship.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Vice President
Fairbanks today received from Senator
Mitchell telegram announcing his res
ignation of the chairmanship OF the
committee on interoceanic canals. 1t
was the only course for Senator Mitchell
to pursue under the circumstances, for,
had he not voluntarily relinquished
this office, it would have been taken
from him. Because of the immense
amount of work to be done by this COM
mittee this winter, it was out of the
question for Mitchell to retain the
when he could not serve.

More About shakespeare.

"A certain Mr.. Stolzemburg, who
lives in America. announces that the
works attributed to Shakespeare were
written by syndicate" says a
writer ''Mr. Stolzemburg must have
been living long way out of the cur
rent of affairs, or he wonld know that
his theory Is old-fashicned. Homer
was a syndicate. Scott was a syndi-
cate. Don't we all know that Dumas
employed many hands on his ro-
mances? Now the really interesting
discovery about the man who wrote
Shakespeare is that he was a native
Of Bayeux, whose name was jacques
Pierre. which was easily corrupted
into Shakespeare"

Not AIways oranae Blossoms.

Only in England, France and Amer
lea is the orange blossom the bridal
flower. When the German fraulein
becomes a frau her head is garlanded
with myrtle, except in certain sec
tions, where gaudy wreaths of artif-
cial flowers replace the natural
blooms and are treasured from gen.
Grafton to generation. In Italy and
the French cantons of Switzerland
white roses are dedicated to the
brides as well as the dead, but in
Spain red roses and pinks lend an adj
ditional touch Of color to the bridal
dress Of black and yellow Greek
brides are garlanded, appropriately
enough, with vine leaves, and in Bo-
hemia rosemary is supposed to bring
luck to the bride, who wears it. In
most of the countgies Eunrope, how
ever, the bridal wreath is considered
as essential as the veil and pretty
sentiment clusters about the faded
wreath that is laid away, whether the
wreath be of orange blossoms or laur.

AGAINST THE PUBLIC INTEREST.
overzeaous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.

overzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines.
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
Jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for law to require
every package of proprietary medi-
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement Of the formula, showing
Just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; but
the man with a mania for regulating
tho affairs .. other people or who has
some personal interest to serve is
the one who agitates the proposition.
To a person who has never taken
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet it
is in fact nothing more nor less than
a scheme to compel the manufactur
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with limitations of
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen-
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi-
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainly TO
the benefit Of the pirates and imita-
tors. without advertising, the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and all future
sales would be greatly impaired il
not wholly destroyed. It is mainly by
1udicious advertising that the knowl-
edge Of proprietary medicines is
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions of peo-
pie have found relief at compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to their
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition Of
being allowed to carry it on? Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean Exchange.

UNCLE IKE HAD 4 GRIEVANCE.
Couldn't Vote for a Candidate Who
Wasted His Money.

Wasted His Money.
When the late Melbourne H. Ford
made his run for Congress he over
looked nothsAg that he thought would
improve his chances Of election. One
Of his moves was the taking OK an or
chestra to a meeting held in one OF
the small towns near Grand Rapids
This generous departure may have
won him several votes, but it unques-
tionably lost him one. Every village
has its character. and the one there
was Uncle Ike"
Whenever that orchestra broke
forth Uncle Ike" fastened fierce
glance upon the bass drummer. Dur
ing the ordeal the jaws Of the village
character worked like those OF a buck
rabbit eating cabbage, and his white
beard Of the spinach pattern waved
furiously in unison. Next morning
one of those who had watched the ac-
tions of Uncle Ike" drew hiGl out on
the subject, keeping in mind that he
played the bass drum in the local
"sheepskin" band, and that Jealousy
seems an inseparable part Of the mu-
sical temperament.
Il suppose that you'll vote for Ford,
Uncle Ike?"
Then you better hire some smarter
feller to do your supposin'. No man
kin have my support that wastes his
own money like it was water"
What do you mean, Uncle Ike?"
well, you hain't no musicianer, but
I'd like to know what sense there was
in payin out money fur haulin that
bass drum and the man with it clean
out here. He didn't hit the burned
thing more'n four times, and he was
