past feelings of disappointment and
perhaps, anger.
AS is always the case on the open
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representatives
sufficiently we'll to-secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were jammed with people. All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and in the Senate as we'll, was filled
to it's fullest capacity with ambassa-
doris, ministers, attaches and the Ia
dies of the different legations Mem
bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries; and the cabinet and judici-
ary and army and navy circles were

BY rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory of some deceased member
The result of this rule is that now on
the opening days of congress the
desks of the members are bare of
floral decorations. In the old days
both House and Senate were turned
into conservatories for the time of the
opening proceedings. = i
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon

tunities of the present and the bright
hopes and promises Of the future.
Absentsss Are Few.

The Governor Johnson memorial
fund is practically complete, and De-
fore the end of another week the en-
tire $4,000 will be in the hands of the
state commission, which is to deter
mine what kind of a memorial shall
be erected, and where it will be plac
ed. Saint Peter has already made
strong arguments for the location Of
the monument and the general feel
ing seems to be that monument.
the best form the memorial can take
should be located in the home town Of
the late executive. From other por-
tiOns of the state. come arguments
that the memorial should be. located
either upon the capitol grounds, or,
as statue. within the building, whore
the late governor did his best work.
The commission will have a difficult
task in determining what is the best
to be- done, but that the memorial
will be built. and that it will be a 1T
ting tribute, is already guaranteed by
the $4,000, each dollar of which has
come from some friend of John AL.
bert Johnson. AS the late governor
belonged to the whole state, and was
equally loved in all sections, we be.
lieve a fitting memorial should be
erected at a point most accessible to
all the people Of the state, and there
can be no question that the capitol
grounds Is the most appropriate place
on that score. A statue in bronze is
in our opinion the best form Of q
memorial.

Opening an Oyster

The coming of the oyster season is an
event of red letter value in the calen-
dar Of the devout gourmet. 1.-THE
Cooks Oracle"-a book which was
never far from the kitchens of our
great t-grandmothers-is very precise in
its directions as to the proper manner
of preserving and eating oysters. "The
true love of an oyster" writes the au-
thor, will have some regard for the
feelings of his little favorite, and will
never abandon it to the mercies of a
bungling operator-but will open it
himself and contrive to detach the fish
from the shell so dexterously that the
oyster is hardly conscious he has been
elected from his lodging till he feels
the teeth of the piscivorous gournand
tickling him to death. London Chron-
