CONNECTICUT SENATORS
IN COMMITTEE ASST GNMENTS
Speculation on This Score Practically
Answered-Prediction for the House.
Especial to The BulIetinD

Especial to The Bulletin.)
as to what committee assignments will
be given the Connecticut senators was
partially answered this morning when
it was given out that Senator Bulke-
ley would fill one of the vacancies on
the committee on the District of Co
lumbia. This committee has charge of
all district matters and they are some
times called the common council of
Washington. He will, or expects TO,
retain his position as chairman of the
committee on railroads and his place
on the committee on military affairs,
and such other assignments as the
committee on committees may please
to give me-" is the way the senator
put it when asked last night about
the matter.
Senator Brandegee will likely retain
his Craftsmanship of the committee on
forest reservations and the protection
of game. where he will be in q posi-
ton to resume his fight for the pas
sage of a forest reserve bill. He will
receive such other assignments as the
committee sees fit to give him. He has
removed from the old senate annex to
new quarters in the new, senate office
building, where he has pleasant quar-
ware avenue side.
The house committees will not be
announced until the tariff bill is out
of the way, If then. 1t is thought by
some that the speaker will follow the
example Of Speaker Reed in the extra
session Of the Fifty-flfth congress
when he refused to appoint the COM
mittees until the last day Of the spe-
cial session and no business was done
at that session except the passage OF
the Dingley tariff bill.
A member of the Connecticut dele
cation said the other day that he was
of the opinion that things were not
the same now and that as soon as the
tariff bill had been sent over to the
senate the speaker would allow the
consideration of other and general
business during the time the senate
would take to consider the tariff bill.
No material change in the assign
ments of the members is looked for.
Mr.. Higgins win be made chairman
of the committee of which he has had
charge as acting chairman during the
last session and will retain such other
assignments as he now has.
The new member. Major Tilson, will
likely be assigned place on the com
mittee on military
It is thought that Mr.. Hill will get
the craftsmanship of the committee on
the expenditure in the treasury de-
partment, as the chairman during the
last congress failed Of re- election, and
Mr. Hill is next in line. He will not,
however, accept the place II It re-
quires him to give up his place on the
committee on ways and means.
There has been some talk Of Mr..
Sperry as chairman of the committee
on postof1ces and post roads, but it
is not likely that he would accept the
place if offered on account Of his age,
although he will retain his place as
next in rank to the chairman as long
as he remains in the house.
Mr. Sperry was the only member of
the Connecticut delegation who was
granted the privilege of selecting his
seat before the drawing of seats began.

SuOnges and Wash Cloths,

Sponges have almost been discarded
from the modern bathroom on account
of the difficulty of keeping them in a
sanitary condition. When they are used
one should not be satisfied with giving
them an occasional washing even in
warm water, but they should be boiled
once a week in water to which has been
added teaspoonful of Gold Dust wash
ing powder and rinsed through several
clear warm waters. Wash cloths should
also be boiled in Gold Dust suds and
thoroughly rinsed, summed and ironed.
Those of thin linen crash are more desir-
able than heavy ones.

What's What in Wheels,

The new Maine law perpetuating the
exclusion OF automobiles from Bar
Harbor and other townships on the is
land of Mt Desert is not without its
touches Of humor to relieve its other
wise solemn features One esection
provides that a steam roller shall not
be deemed a motor vehicle, within the
meaning Of the exclusion act. This Is
reminiscent Of an earlier regulation
which ordained that a three wheeled
vehicle should be deemed tricycle., a
two wheeled vehicle a bicycle and a
one wheeled vehicle a wheelbarrow.-

The grounds in the river below Paw

THE MONKEY AND THE PIE

An Indian fakir had monkey that
he had brought up from babyhood,
says IN. A. p" The pair were fast
friends, the monkey being a faithful
attendant on his MASTER and as good
as watch dog. One day the fakir made
a pie for dinner, and left it to cook on
a charcoal fire while he went for a
walk AS the cooking proceeded the
savory smell was too much for the
monkey. 1t raised the crust and tasted
the chicken. Finding the food very
tasty, it ate more and more until moth
ing but the crust remained. Then 1t
remembered it's master, who would
shortly return hungry and ready to en-
joy his meal. What was to be done?
The sharp eyes of the monkey detected
some crows not far away, so without
loss of time it lay down on the ground
as if dead. By and by crow came
along and pecked at the monkey which
seized the bird in a twinkling, stran-
gled it, stripped off the feathers, placed
it in pieces in the dish, covered 1t over
with the crust, and then contentedly
awaited the return OF the fakir, to
whom the whole incident was related
by an eyewitness.
