. Resume of the Weeks
Proceedings. .

Washington, March 27.-The mono
ony of the tariff debate in the house
of representatives was relieved for a
time yesterday by a clash between
Messrs. Fordney Of Michigan and
Byrd Of Mississippi, which came near
ending in blows. Mr.. Fordney had
been making an exhaustive discussion
of the lumber schedule when he was
interrupted by the Mississippian, who.
insisted that the lumber manufactur-
ers, of which Mr.. Fordney was one,
were in a trust. Mr.. Fordney peremp-
torily denied the statement and said
that Mr.. Byrd didn't know a d-n
thing about it."
The Mississippi member made a
move toward Mr.. Fordney and was in
the act of removing his coat when
some of his Democratic colleagues
took hold of him. Later II developed
that the incident grew out Of a mis-
understanding and both men made
mutual explanations and apologies.
Mr.. Fordney made a notable speech
on the subject of lumber and pleaded
for better protection on that product
in the rough.

Washington, April 3. - That the
Payne bill was filled with riotous I'M
projections, WIS a false pretense, was
designed to cover up the extrava-
gances of the Republican administra-
ton, that 1t did not redeem party
pledges, and that it sounded the death.
knell of the dominant party, were
some Of the criticisms passed upon
the measure by the Democrats in the
house yesterday.

Washington, April 3.-Dragging it
self tediously along, general debate
on the tariff was continued in
the house yesterday and last night.
The Payne bill came in for its usual
condemnation from the Democrats.
the reductions being characterized as
pretexts and shams, and the bill as a
whole as "a huge Mephistophelean
Joker"
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-04-08

Washington, March 30.-The tariff
question was again discussed In the
house Of representatives yesterday in
a ten and a half hours session. Not
one Of the many speakers favored the
Payne bill in its entirety, while the
Democrats found much In it to oriti-
else and condemn.
In the senate yesterday Senator
Hale, chairman Of the Republican
caucus, introduced a resolution to
confine the business of the extra SEES
sion to the consideration Of the tariff
bill and the bill providing for the thir-
teenth census, but he afterwards
amended it so as to permit the intro
duction Of bills and the transaction Of
executive business. The measure
went over until Thursday to allow
further consideration of the question.

Washington, March 31.-When the
session of the house yesterday got
we'll under way the tariff debate wax
ed warm. The indications were when
the body met at 10 o'clock that the
proceedings would be dry and unin-
teresting, but a revival of the discus
sion Of the oil and lumber schedules
was like setting a match to both
products, for the subjects proved of
absorbing interest to the members,
who entered generally into the de
bate.

is large, and design is afforded not BY
a conventional placing OF chenille, as in

Spring or Winter Dinner
Is Possible JuSt NogU

Now is the time of tho year when it is
possible for the housekeeper to serve
either a spring or winter dinner
She may choose the former and have
her table laden with vegetables Of every
kind. and serve all the accompaniment
OF a well-appointed Christmas menu.
A month ago she could not have done
this. and. in all probability. she will
not be able to again within a couple
of weeks. But. just at present. she has
the choice Of a double season
Practically all spring vegetables are
still on the market, and practically all
winter ones have arrived. This morning
several Of the commission houses had
cymlins for sale, which were as young
and tender as though they had been
shipped in on a June morning.
Strange as 1t may SEEM said a we'll
known dealer, I'VE have just about as
many spring vegetables to sell as we
lid three months ago. Everything is
hanging on remarkably well. and the
best OF il Is that everything promises
TO continue TO hang on until FROST
Although there are still quantities of
spring vegetables on tho market. a walk
through the various commission houses
gives one all the Indications necessary
TO convince him that winter is near at
hand Celery and cranberries are aIriv-
ing in heavier shipments daily, and tur-
nips and winter cabbage, TO say nothing
OF sweet potatoes, are playing a big
part in the markets transactions. De-
mand for winter vegetables Is constant
" increasing.
Everything appears to be favorab BILE
for the hOusekeeper TO serve an ideal
Thanksgiving dinner rCranberries are
said to be in heavier supply than they
were a year ago, and celery, according
10 reports. will be as plentiful as Il
was last season.
Generally speaking. prices on all win
ter vegetables promise 10 be normal,
with supply sufficient in the majority Of
cases 10 meet demand.

always made it plain that they had their

Having spent the required time and
made ones self as agreeable as posi-

ton OF the servants and their tins.
There are hostesses who make Il plain
that their servants are not 10 be tipped

II is not necessary to remember any but
those servants with whom one comes

II f. OF the greatest Importance TO
preserve such happy form OF hospital
ity as ''the Weekend Visiting is
test OF character, but during three days
we all may be able TO conceal our faults
and present our virtues and our gowns
at their nrettiest.
The punctuation OF visiting by dates
at which one is expected to come and to
go is a decided gain over the former
go-as-you-please method of giving and
receiving invitations.
When Miss Evangeline Jenkins Is in
vited to pine Top" or ''Ten Elms' from
July 10 TO July Is she knows just what
is expected of her. and Of her wardrobe.
Having accepted the invitation she pre-
sents herself BY train or motor at the
time she is expected. when she finds ev-
erything in readiness to receive her. II
she has the happy wisdom she puts
herself unreservedly at the disposal Of
her hostess. who doubtless has planned
out ell the diversions and occupations
of her stay. that it may be as agreeable
and az full as possible. 1t is very up
setting and throws everything out Of
gear to have her guests acting indie
pendeD ~ Of her arrangements.
For example two young men invited
TO a house party knew some young
vcrren az a neighboring house, and
planned TO play tennis with them be-
fore breakfast. They accordingly asked
the servant who attended them to serve
them some coffee In their room before
leaving. The game was prolonged and
their seats were vacant at the break
fast table where there were other young
women whom they had been invited to
entertain. The hostess was pa rdonably
indignant at the liberty they had taken,
but could only resolve that she would
never invite them again
Another case. Having tea served on
the lawn, a hostess was surprised TO
find various guests absent, and learned
that one Of these was serving tea in
her own room, to which she had invit-
ed the others. One cannot reprove peo-
pie in ones own house. but one can al
ways refrain from asking such people
again.
