NEWsBOYs EAT TURKEY.
Paper Sellers Guests at banquet
Given by Mr.. BOvee.

a party Of typical Washington news
boys. eight Of them from The Washing
ton Herald, with the behavior of so many
nOblemen. were the guests OF Mrs J.
Wesley Bovee at her apartments in the
R0chambeau last evening. The dinner
was regular Christmas one, with tur-
key, plum pudding, and all the other
things that temp the appetite at Christ
mas. and US probably the first one of
its kin5 that the urchins had ever seen.
Besides the ''newsies' the hostess was
the only other diner, and she, 10 use the
expression Of one Of the diners, lis one
OF US"
When they first arrived at the apart
ment occupied by DR.. and Mrs. Bovee.
dressed in their best clothes, the lads
were subdued and quiet but they were
soon put at their ease, and by the time
dinner was announced they had forgot
ten their strange surroundings. One lit
tie led not over ten years old was placed
at the head Of the table, and Mrs Bovee
afterward stated that she had seen many
men prove far less interesting as con-
versationalists.
When the turkey put in its appearance
excavations Of delight arose from ali
sides.
Say, Mrs Bovee," said one Of the
boys. who evidently wished TO impress
his fellows with the fact that ne was
no stranger to turkey, dis beats any
bold I've run up against dis year"
"Aw, say" came from the other side
Of the table. cut de bluff. Dis is de
foist TINE yer ever seen toikey."
At the end Of the banquet-and it is
well worthy of being called "a banquet
Mrs Rovee requested the boys to I'll
their pockets with the candies and nuts
that remained. telling them they might
empty the dish, which they did. literally.
Before they left. each of the boys went
up 10 the hostess and thanked her per-
sonally for her dinner. many Of them
with tears in their eyes. Their senti-
ments were admirably expressed by one
Of the lads, when in saying good-by he
said he hoped ne might come again, add
ing, IF there is anything 1 can do for
you, lady, let me know

AGAINST COTTON EXCHANGE.
Attitude of Postal Authorfties-EarIy
Developments Are Expected.


Officials Of the Post-office Department
give unofficial callers 10 understand that
they are not greatly impressed by the
news that the department is 10 be asked
to issue a fraud order against the New
York Cotton Exchange.
OF course they are not deciding what
they viii do with the request in advance
Of its submission to them. but the idea
they give is that unless some more po-
tent reason that has yet been advanced is
cited in support Of the action against
the exchange, which viii be urged by
representatives Of the cotton growing in
terests, the department viii not see its
way clear 20 issue the order.
Several conferences on the subject were
held here yesterday, but the matter was
not formally presented TO the postal au-
tnoriues. One reason for delay is under
stood TO be the attitude of officials Of the
Department Of Agriculture, who are aux-
ious 10 avoid any development that viii
make It appear that their department IS
not doing its duty TO the farmer in other
words, II the New York Cotton EXCHANGE
is to be brought TO terms, the Depart
ment af Agriculture wishes 10 have some
Of the credit.
At some Of the local brokerage Offices
talk was heard yesterday TO the effect
that the New York exchange may revise
its rules in such a way as 10 abolish at
least the most material Of the abuses
complained Of by the producers. Action
Of this sort, which could be made 10 ap-
pear as voluntary. would add to the pres
tige Of the exchange, If anything, while
similar steps forced by the government
would naturally have the opposite effect
Local developments are expected to-day
or early next week.
