The Washington correspondent of the
Detroit Sunday News-Tribune says:
1.-THE principal social event of the past
week in Washington outside of few
minor things in cabinet and White
House circles was salmon lunch ten
dered by Hon. Joseph W. Fordney to
all the Michigan congressman and other
people from the Wolverine state that
could be scared up. The function was
pulled off in the house restaurant, and
the curious thing about it was that the
man who gave it, or at least who will
have to pay the bill was not present at
all. Mr.. Fordney was in Michigan
when Alex Poulton, the big logger, of
on Gray's Harbor, Washing
ton, sent him large ice. packed box
filed with salmon of rare breed and
size, the smallest weighing
about 10 pounds. There were 4S of the
fish, and Fordney, like Sheridan at the
battle of Winchester, was not at the
works Unlike Sheridan, however, he
had sub on the job who knew what
ought to be done, and consequently Mr..
Fordney's secretary, Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
issued the invitations for the lunch in
Fordney's name and cleverly rounded
out the event by calling on Hon. Wash
ington Gardner, who has heard Ford
ney's entire repertoire. to tell such
stories as he thought Fordney would
have told if he had been present. The
lunch was an amazing success. and
there were enough of the fish not only
to feed all who came, as in the BIBLICAL
story of the loaves and the fishes. but
every Michigan man who keeps house
here had one for his family. And I'M
like the last lunch enjoyed by delega-
ton, no one went on jamboree with
half baked senatorial boom, which add
ed still more to the pleasure of the oc-
casion.
