SEVEN TERMS IN CONGRESS
Congressman Lowering Passes Away
After Long Illness

Washington, Feb. 6.-William c..
Lowering, representative from the
Fourteenth Massachusetts district,
died at his home here of pneumonia,
following a confinement of several
weeks to the house with pleurisy.
Mr.. Lowering was rs years of age,
and his strength had been failing for
the last few years. He was serious
ly affected by the heat of last sum-
mer and was compelled to return to
his summer home in Massachusetts
before the close of the extra session.
He was attended in his last illness by
his daughter, Miss Alice Lowering,
who had been his companion in Wash
Ington for several years.
Arrangements have been made for
sending the body to Massachusetts
and probably the funeral will be held
in Taunton Monday, with burial in
the same city.
Mr.. Lowering was among the fore
most of the insurgent group in the
house in his opposition to the house
system of management and never
yielded an inch of his convictions or
activity under severe pressure which
was put upon him by the regular or
ganiZatiOn

RACE OF DYSPEPTICs"
Produced by Pet Yankee Food, Ac-
cordinq to a Stomach Specialist

Chicago, Feb. 4.-Baken beans,
hot brown bread and mince pie, gen
orally supposed to be the backbone
and mainstay of New England, were
given wallop by DR.. Fenton B.
Turck, the stomach specialist, who
has just returned from an extensive
investigation of food conditions in
Europe.
New England has. produced a race
of long, nasal-speaking, lank dyspep-
TICS" said Turck. The statesmen of
New England were not the product of
pork and beans, but of the simple life
which existed before mince pie for
breakfast became a typical New Eng
land dish. That section of the coun-
try, with its pork and beans, hot
biscuits, doughnuts and mince pies,
is already on the decline.

The transfer of the exercises from
city hall TO Faneuil hall, for the first
time in the history of the city, gave
the new city government chance to
be displayed at it's best advantage.
There was plenty of room for truly
impressive ceremony and plenty OF
seats for the friends of the mayor
and the nine new councilmen.
Mr.. Fitzgerald issued 200 invita-
lions to his friends and each member
of the common council issued fifty in
vitations, The capacity of the hall is
less than a thousand seats. There
have been occasions, even in the re-
cent campaign, when the hall con-
tanned 1900 persons.
This is the first time in the history
of the city that invitations by the
wholesale have been sent out by the
incoming city government. The
small council chamber at city hall has
admitted of no such liberality from
the city fathers. Heretofore the
mayor and the members of both
branches of the city government have
contented themselves with writing a
note to friends for presentation to the
city messenger, who would furnish
seats in as desirable portions Of the
hall as were then available.
Inauguration day begun with the
meeting of Mayor Hubbard and the
mayor elect, with the chief justice OF
the supreme court, the chaplain :,
Rev. Leo J. Knappe, the former
mayors of Boston, the foreign consuls
and the new city council, in the
armory of the Ancient and Honorable
