ONE MANS
SUGGESTION
GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR THE FOR
NAL DOLLAR DINNERS FOR
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Dinners to Take Place Of Regular
Evening Meal at Home Once a
Month, When Some One Subject
Of General Local Interest Could Be
Discussed, Keeping Money at Home

A prominent business man Of this
city, while dining at the Presbyterian
church last night, in discussing the
dollar dinners" by the Commercial
club at irregular intervals, suggested
a plan for bringing the business men
of the city together at least once a
month that would kill two birds with
one stone" in an admirable way. He
says that the Commercial club could
contract with the ladies Of the differ.
ent churches to serve dinners, one
church one month and another the
next, as most of them now have ex-
cellent arrangements for such service.
The dinner, according to his plan,
should be simple and take the place
of the regular home meal, beginning
at $3.50 o'clock, say, and close at 9 or
10. Tickets could be sold as they are
at the more elaborate affairs, for a
price to be agreed upon, and the money
thus raised could revert to the treas
ury Of the organization of the ladies
officiating as hostess.
Paper by Some Member.
The gentleman says the plan he has
in mind contemplates the preparation
of a paper by some member of the
club on some subject of passing inter-
est, a discussion by members Of the
club following and consuming the time
allotted for the evenings entertain
ment. In this way, he argues, some
of the foremost questions could be
discussed and ends arrived at that a
more formal meeting of the members
would not allow.
Things to Commend Plan.
"There are several things to be com-
mended in such a plan," he said, in
the course of the discussion. zone is
that we men would not be kept from
our homes SO late at night. Another
is that some of the money sen away
at the more formal dinners would be
kept at home. A third, and an i'm
portant reason, is that such a plan
would help the ladies of the church
societies to add to their treasures
without being felt to a considerable
extent by the community.
A Sort Of Family Affair.
Civic improvement would make an
excellent subject for discussion in this
way that would be precluded had we
many out-of-town guests at the dinner,
as on the occasion Of the last dollar
dinner with almost every county and
some other states represented at the
board"

REPRESENTATIVE FoSS OF ILL.
Nols EXPRESSES SENTIMENTS
OF THE PRESIDENT.
May the Battleship Ever Be Prepared
for War and Never Fire a Shot
Interesting Banquet Address at
Naval League at Washington
Senator Ankeny In a Fix.

SpSNiaA " II AhCpuollGuu.
Washington, d.. c., Feb. 2S.-'Here's
to the American ~battleship! May it
eve be prepared for war, but never
fire a shot" In this pithy toast Rep
resentative George Z. Foss of Illinois,
chairman of the house committee on
naval affairs, at the banquet of the
Naval League of the United States,
summed up the sentiments of Presi-
dent Roosevelt which were voiced at
the White house earlier in the day.
The delegates to the league called on
Mr.. Roosevelt and listened to a short
but powerful address, in which the
president urged them to continue the
agitation for greater appropriations for
the naval establishment. Mr.. Roose-
welt showed his interest in the league
by saying:
Voice for the Navy.
Now, l want all Of you in your re-
spective homes, through the organs of
public opinion, by your influence upon
your representatives in every branch
at Washington, to see that the needs
of the navy are not forgotten in the
future. The navy has no one to speak
for it save those who speak for it be-
of their devotion t the honor
and the interest of the United States,
n | ask that o and those like you
make your voices heard for the gen.
eral welfare, amid the din of voices
hat speak only for special interests"
How Ankeny Presided.
Senator Levi Ankeny of Washington,
in private life a disciple of Isaac Wal.
ton and president of half a dozen
banks, caused considerable amusement
in the senate one day this week when
he presided in the absence of Vice
President Fairbanks. Mr.. Fairbanks
seized a moment to retire when things
looked very favorable for a long and
dry discussion. Senator Smiling
Tom" Patterson Of Colorado had the
floor and seemed wound up for one OF
his lengthy speeches. Hardly had the
door swung behind Mr.. Fairbanks be
fore Mr.. Patterson suddenly stopped
talking and sat down.
Warm Time for Chairman.
Immediately a half dozen senators
were on their feet clamoring for rec
ognition, but Senator Hepburn gained
the desired point, asked for unanimous
consent to take up a measure, and

embarrassment, let his gaval fall and
asked:

gentlemen. What is the pleasure OF
the meeting?"
Thought Twas Directors Meeting.
A general litter ran through the
senate chamber, for it was evident
that Senator Ankeny believed he was
presiding at a meeting of the board OF
directors of one of his banks. He
was the ms6 pleased man in the sen.
ate when Mr.. Fairbanks returned and
relieved him of his duties.
