WASHINGTON LETTER.

In four days the Fifty-ninth Congress
will be no more. 1t will take its place as
one OF the most active and effective Con-
crosses in history, but it will always be
known that it derived its good impulses
from the most popular and most potent
Executive that ever wrote Congressional
message, and who, by the way, has
written more to the session than any of
his predecessors There is much that
Congress has not done and the President
would be justified in calling an imme-
diate session of the Sixtieth. Congress to
enact long needed and long neglected
legislation.
XXX
1t is idle but nevertheless interesting to
think of the possible changes and shift
ings in political situations and views that
MAY take place before the assembling Of
the next national legislature. The coun
try is to all appearances still in high tide
of prosperity, with greater wealth than
Great Britain and France combined, the
two wealthiest countries after the United
States. This country pays greater
aggregate of wages than is paid by all the
rest of the world LEST we forget"
Lest we forget
~
James Bryce, the newly appointed
British Ambassador and Mrs Bryce have
arrived in Washington and are stopping
of the British Embassy, which has been
going on since the departure of Sir Nor
timer Durand and his family. The new
Ambassador was met at the station here
by an official escort and since his arrival
in New York harbor. when his fellow
passengers stood aside that he might be
the first to descend the gang plank, the
most distinguished courtesy has been
shown this great man His coming to
Washington is regarded as the greatest
compliment England has ever paid this
country. and his appointment has already
done much to cement the friendship of
the countries, friendship that has been
steadily growing for many years Mr.
Bryce is one of the most distinguished
authors, statesmen and diplomats in Great
Britain and society here has been all in a
futter since he was named. Such a lion
is rare here even where lions are common
aud the ambition to have him on the
dinner list has thrown many hostess
into fever of excitement. 1t is said that
Mr. Brice is anything but society man
and except for official entertaining the
Embassy will not be thrown open to the
social world. Mrs Bryce it is said shares
her husbands aversion to society and
will take only such part in it as is re-
quired by her official position. She is
charitably inclined and much interested
in woman's movements in England. This
is not strange considering that it was
through Mr.. Bryce that the property of
married women was secured to them and
other legislation in their behalf enacted.
The history Of Mr.. Bryce's career is so
we'll known that it needs no repetition
and his book, 1.-THE American Common
wealth." is an authority and classic. 1t
is we'll known that the President feels the
highest satisfaction in the appointment
and qualification that it was made during
his Administration

Washington, June 81 Nervous
inhabitants of Puget Sound cities
will shortly know whether the de-
lenses that shield Portland and Seat
tie from foreign attack are to be de-
pended upon. Beginning upon July
4th and ending upon the 18th, the
attack and defense problem will be
worked out. The defenders will be
made up of militia and coast ar
tillery on the Sound, while a small
fleet of cruisers, detached from the
Pacific squadron, will attempt to run
past forts Warden, Casey and Flag
Ter, which defend Seattle, and land
troops from transports so as to take
the forts from the rear. Cooperating
with the regular troops from the fort
will be the second infantry regiment
of the Washington national guard

VIA Shall We Eat?

Every day the same old question,
What shall we eat for breakfast,
for luncheon, for dinner?" assails
with monotonous regularity the pa
tient housewife who seeks to provide
good living for the family in good
variety at a moderate cost. The
Chicago Record-Herald has gone far
toward solving the problem by de-
voting space to three departments
on thi;. all important topic in it's
various issues. Meals for a Day"
which appears daily, gives the daily
menu and the necessary recipes.
Housewives everywhere are invited
to participate in tie contest and
weekly prizes are offered for the best
menus. Marion Harland's Sunday
page gives weekly a list of selected
recipes, which, if clipped and past
ed in a scrap book, make a most val
liable collection. "Martha's manage

Ex-Judge Loving on Trial.

The trial of former Judge w. G..
Loving for the murder of Theodore
Estes, is now on at Houston, Va.
The trial promises to eclipse in in
tensity the McCue and Strothers-
Dywaters cases. 1t will put to the
test again the much talked Of "un-
written law" A jury was speedily
secured and the taking of testimony
begun.
The line of defense is something
of a mystery, and not the slightest
indication has been given as to what
it will be. Since the killing public
sentiment in regard to the case has
undergone a considerable change.
Many persons are now of the belief
that the young victim was guilty of
no mortal offense. Nevertheless the
socalled unwritten law will in all
probability be made the basis of the
defense. 1t is expected that Judge
Loving will plead that at the time
of the shooting he was honest in his
conviction that his daughter had suf-
fered at the hands of Estes.
1t will be necessary for Miss Low
ing to take the stand in such defense
and the community is on the qui vive
to learn how far she will go in her
Testimony to shield her father. She
lis depended upon at least to demon
strate that she gave him cause to be-
lieve the worst, however unWittingly
1t was given.
While visiting a friend in the coun-
try Miss Loving went buggy riding
with Estes. According to the story
now generally believed she became
faint and her escort gave her a
drink of liquor to revive her. Being
unused to liquor, it made her i'll.
Hearing of her illness, her father
hurried at once to the home OF her
friend, where she a staying, and
got a rather incoherent statement
from her which led him to believe
that young Estes had been guilty OF
a mortal crime. He went at once tc

of what was impending, was unload.
ing a freight car. Waving two ne
gro helpers out of the way, Judge
Loving shot down the young mar
and then marched himself off te
Jail to announce that he had wiped
out the stain of his family name.
