TWAS MIGHTY EXPENSIVE
rovCRESS HAS BEEN ON THE
Job, AND UNCLE SANS
PURSE IS THIN.

The cost of the siXtieth congress,
81 q low estimate, is placed at $15,-
oo0 600. The salaries, mileage,
orork hire and stationary allowances
of the go senator's and 391 repre-
santatives alone aggregate about
s1O.00O,000. To this must be add
od the pay for the army of doorkeep-
arc ianitors, messengers, elevator
men, stenOgraphers, pages and other
ompIoves. The cost of maintaining
The capitol-fuel janitor service,
watchmen, policemen and thousand
other expenses-must be added. The
enormous printing bill also goes into
the calculation.
For this the American people got
$50 public bills through the con-
gress. The most important, the
emergency currency bill, will be
about the only one remembered.
The penal code was the work of
two congresses.
During both sessions congress con-
sidered about $4,000 bills-9,541
introduced in the senate and 28,441
in the house. Twenty-six omnibus
claim bills carried private pensions
and other claims to the number of
1889.
The first session of congress lasted
from December 4, 1907, to May 80,
1908; the second session from De-
cember 7, 1908, to March 4, 1909.
Adtournments for the Christmas hol-
days were taken during both SEES
sions. The house worked nearly
every day except Sunday, and the
senate about five days a week.

A VERY CURIOUS SOCIETY.
Which Exists for the Prevention of
Premature Burial.


One of the most curious of the
many little societies that meet in
London to advance neglected causes
lis the Association for the Proven
ton of Premature Burial. At the
annual meeting held not long ago it
was proposed to call upon the gov
eminent to consider the necessity of
remedying the present unsatisfac-
tory and dangerous state of the bur-
ial laws.
No less than $50 cases of persons
who had been buried alive, the chair
man declared, had been certified by
medical testimony, and they found
200 cases of persons who had been
saved just in time. An American
member, A F. Jenkins, told the
meeting of a shrek coming from
body just as it was carried into a
cremation furnace The machinery
had put the coffin in motion, and it
was hopeless to do anything to re-
cover the body.
Another member told of the case
of a woman who is living today and
possesses her own death certificate,
it having been discovered that she
was alive just in time to stop her
burial.
A London physician, DR.. Hadwen,
told the little audience that he had
had the unpleasant task of carrying
out the will of a woman member
who had commanded that her veins
should be opened and her head near
ly severed from her body. Such in
structions, he said, were daily be-
coming more common, showing how
prevalent was the fear of being
buried alive.
A motion was passed urging the
government to support the death reg
istration and burials bill, which pro-
vides for the compulsory examina-
ton of the body by qualified medical
men before death is certified.

MORE UNDERGROUND WORK.
The System of Congress Is to BE
Still Further Extended.

The underground system of con-
gress is to be still further extended.
There is already so much under
ground business about congress that
it might seem to be impossible to
make more of it. But now the
proposition is that tunnels shall be
run to the railroad depot, to several
of the departments and elsewhere
from the capitol. The groundmole
instinct seems to be very strong in
congress.

Start Series to Decide Glass Cham
piOnshiD at Georgetown.
The interclass series will be started at
Georgetown this morning when the soph-
ignores clash with the freshmen in the
first game for supremacy in football
The plan of having men play from the
law and medical schools has brought out
several good men and the contest should
be hard fought.
The freshmen seem to have the best
chance OF winning. for several ex-prep
stars are in the lineup Foremost among
them Is Capt Nolan. who played on the
State champion Waterbury High School
OF Connecticut. Included in the lineup
viii also be McQuail and Gaynor. both
Of whom distinguished themselves on the
prep gridiron last year.
The sophomores. on the other hand, have
no real football stars. as the varsity has
claimed ell their men this year Still,
they will have athletes who have done
stunts in other lines. Tom Smith and
Kingsley, two track stars Of last year. are
with the IL men. and in the back field Is
Cogan, a fast man who played on the
basketball team.
The present juniors won the champion
ship last year, but from present indica-
ticns the champions will hardly be IN
the race. for they are greatly weakened
by the absence OF Fitzgerald and Fee
nan. both OF whom are playing on the
varsity team this year.
