ccutivc session with tho ringing of
bells three times throughout the north
end Of the capitol and Mr.. Frye had
been duly inauguratcd.
Although the Public Building Com
mittec Of the House has not yet been
appointed by Speaker Cannon. Repre-
sentative Burleigh of Maine has been
going over a lot OF the public build
ing bills that have already been intro
duced. He will be reappointed to
that committee to sit next the Chair
man, Representative Bartholdt. Of st.
Louis. and will head Il subcommittee
that has immediate supervision of
bills for New England.
Tho committee will consider all the
public building bills, but it has not
been determined yet whether any
public building bills will be passed at
this session. Action may be deferred
till the short session next year. 1t is
the custom to include the bills favor
ably regarded by the committee in an
omnibus measure. The House
leaders, whose business it is to scan
appropriations and determine the
probable revenue of the government
are going to preach strict economy by
Congress this winter. If the authofi-
cations of money do not mount too
high in the course of the next two or
three months, Gov. Burleigh thinks
it probable there may be small
public building omnibus bill. In that
event there will be some allowances
for New England projects.
The expenses of the government
have become very large in recent
years and should there come lean
period in the matter OF revenues the
big treasury surplus would be de-
pleted considerably. That is the rca-
son why Congress at this session IS
likely to be very careful about APP
propriating for public buildings or Tor
River and Harbor improvements.
which can be deferred very well for
twelve months.

The new theory (backcd up by his
preparation) advanced by L. l.
Cooper with regard to the cause Oh
most ill health of the present genera
tjou is being sown broadcast by THIS
young man. -,
Cooper believes that the human
stomach has become degenerate IN
civilized races and claims that good
health is impossible unless the stoin-
ach is re-vitalized. This he CLAIMS
TO do with his preparation.
An article from the Indianapolis
Star during Cooper's stay in that city
has this to say Of Cooper and MS
preparation: Residents of this city
are being astounded by L. T. Cooper
and his new preparation.
Reports that preceded MI
cooper's visit here told of his success
in other localities, but the immense
success Of his medicine and the
general belief in his theory was
wholly unprecedented.
80 great is the rush of the puoilc
TO this young man that people stand
in line waiting their turn for hours III
an effort to see him. The most inter-
csting feature of this is statements
made by reliable citizens as to the
actual accomplishments of Cooper
medicine. Among recent statements
Of this character the following is

as something to be expected. The
case with which he turns off vast
amount of important work has be-
come automatic at the Capitol.
Senator Frye has secured for tn.
Committee on Commerce, of which he
is chairman, the consideration of the
bill for the extension Of the mail
subsidy to American ships. which
Senator Gallnger introduced a few
DAYS ago. When the bill was intro
duced it was planned to refer the
measure to the Post Office Committee,
because it pertains to postal affairs.
The idea is to get the bill passed and
then to attach it as u rider to the
Post Office appropriation bill late in
the session.
This seemed unfair to Senator Frye
and to his Committee on Commerce.
He has been one of the foremost
champions of ship subsidies and of
the upbuilding of the Merchant
Marine for many years. Probably no
other Senator is more familiar than
he, perhaps no other is as familiar as
he is. with the entire ship subvention
question. There was something of a
confab over the proposition to turn
the subject over to the Post Office
Committee at the eleventh hour and
to permit Chairman Penrose and
others serving on his committee to
have the credit of any law that may
be passed in this Congress. There
fore it was decided to let Senator
Frye have jurisdiction of the bill. 1t
was pointed out that IS years and
more ago when the present mail sub
vention act was passed Senator Frye'S
Commerce Committee had jurisdiction
of the bill and Senator Frye was one
of the men who pressed that bill to Il
passage.
Senator Frye was formally in
Quoted into Office as President pro-
tempore of the Senate last week.
The ceremony was entirely formal
and attracted little attention. Vice
President Fairbanks vacated the chair
and yielded the gavel to Senator

Then MI Frye took the gavcl and
made this brief speech:
Senators. having held this honor
able position for many years. my
present reelection was equally UNI
expected and undescrved. But as an
expression of your continued conf
dence in me I appreciate the compli-
ment very highly indeed. The fidelity
of the vice president, who is our
presiding officer. is such that the
duties cncumbcnt upon me will be
very light and I accept this Office

The Revival
at Monmouth.

Monmouth Center, Me, Dec. 1G.-
The interest in the mission to-
night showed rather decided
advance This is the more remarkable
considering that Monday is something
of an off night. usually, and that the
meetings have been changed from one
church to the other.
One more was added today to the
goodly number who made decisions
Sunday to lead Christian lives, one
having called at the home Of the pas
tor to make known that purpose.
Everything now points 10 Il rapid
and successful development Of the mis-
sion.
A testimony service was held at the
conclusion Of the preaching service to-
night The interest was 50 intense
that many were standing at the same
time to await an opportunity to speak.
The sermon tonight was the second
in the series of THE Prodigal Son"
The third will be given tomorrow
night. The following are some SEN
fences from tonights talk by Mr.
Hofstead:
On Sunday evening we saw a lirodigal
son ask his father for the portion of
goods as shown in the estate and after
receiving the same set out for a wild
career and after some prOnigate living
he runs into a famine and is reduced
to want For poverty is sure to follow

AMERICAN-HAwAI1ANs DUE,
IT WAS NOT
A TEDDY BEAR

A late press dispatch from Reno re-
counts the following lively adventure
which befell DR.. Robinson, a physician,
Drs. Quinn and Rhodes. dentists, and
Pete Saturno whilst enjoying d late
supper in the dining-room of the Plu-
mas Hotel, at Plumas Junction, a sta
ton several miles north Of Reno. They
were attacked by a large brown bear
and DR.. Robinson narrowly escaped
being badly injured
The three professional men had come
TO Plumas Junction TO hunt and had
the dining room TO refresh the
inner man. They left the door open
and while eating. a large bear entered
the room. He rose 10 his hind feet
and grappled with DR.. Robinson, who
feu to the floor. At first Drs. Rhodes
and Quinn were too frightened to give
him any aid, but at last grabbed their
table knives and attacked the bear.
The animal fought them off for a few
minutes and then ran from the build
ing, leaving the three frightened hun
ters standing in the dining-room.
A few minutes after the bear left the
hunters secured their guns from the
wagon outside and went out TO look
for the bear, but it was dark and they
were unable to find him. DR.. Robinson
was badly scratched and bruised by the
terocious animal.
Another account Of the affair gives
: different version: when the bear
came into the room DR.. Robinson alone
saved the party from being deyoured.
With great presence of mind he de-
manded to see the bears tongue and
ordered him some quinine. The grizzly
looked appealingIy TO the other physi-
clans and to Caturno, and seeing no
mercy vouchsafed, wheeled and started
for the piny woods. He is there still"
