FOR NASHVILLE, ILLS, WHERE
HE WILL BECOME PASTOR OF

Rev. e. e. Rice, pastor of the West
Hill Baptist church, will leave in
short time for Nashville, Ills, where
he will make his future home, having
ing been called to the pastorate Of the
First Baptist church Of that city. Mr..
Rice has large circle of friends who
regret his departure from Pensacola,
where he has done much good.
Speaking of his departure soon for
his new field of labor to Journal re-
porter, Mr.. Rice said:
Il have felt that / had a great

scattered over the territory where I
have labored these six years. Yet
never has it been impressed upon me
in such unmistakable terms as it mas

church came to our home and left us a
special token of their love and appre-
citation. 1t filed our hearts to over

Then there came Tuesday night
another number of loving friends; this
time from the East Hill church, leav-
ing a benediction that will make life
sweeter to us as long as we live in
the world. Among these two gather

COST
$500 A PLATE
THIS WAS COST OF BANQUET
rendered BY HARRY PAYNE
WHITNEY AND HIS ASSOCIATES
TO MEMBERS OF THE ENGLISH
POLO TEAM.

New York, June 2S.-The announce
unent that the banquet rendered the
osher evening by Harry Payne Whit
icy and his associates of the Meadow
brook Club to the members of the
English polo team, their rivals in the
recent international match, cost ap-
proximately $3.50 a plate seems to have
shocked the delicate sensibilities OF
some Of the straight-laced folk. They
cannot comprehend how a supper could
cost so much per person and are in
clined to look upon the extravaganza
as a wilful, sinful dissipation of money.
For q dinner of its size 1t was proba-
bly, the most expensive ever given in
New York, though It is q matter OF
record that as high as $1,000 a plate
has been paid for a limited number OF
persons.
To the Bourban, the Bourgeiso and
the proletariot, 1t is difficult to imagine
q dinner so gorgeous in it's appoint
ments and accessories as to consume
$36, 900 in money in the course of four
or five hours of an evening. This is
what 1t cost Whitney and his asso-
ciates to entertain the Englishmen.
The idea that this vast sum went all
for food and rare vintages is mis-
take. Even with eagles Hvers, lions
tongue, gazelle's filet and other rare
bits on the menu. the eating end Of the
fesat would not exceed $40 plate
And SIS more for rare old wines and
the most you can charge to the dinner
proper is $25 a head. That is said by
New York's most deft chefs to be the
maximum of mans capacity to devise
epicurean novelties and the gour-
mond's capacity to dispose of them.
What cost most were the jewelled
and silver souvenirs distributed during
the dinner. These were the most
ever given at repast OF

the Democrats today organize
the house, it will be noticed that
long service counts for more than
anything else nj the distribution
of committee places and positions
tOf Importance. The one hundred
and twentyleight new represent
atives and the sixteen new sena-
tors who began their active con-
greSSiOnal careers today may be
the ableSt set of men that ever
come to Washington, but they
will have very, very little OppOr-
tunity to demonstrate that abili-
ty until they have added years to
their equipment. Even in the
face of the fact that all the CON-
mitiees for sixteen years have
been appointed by Republican
speakers, the Democratic commit
tee ON committees in all but a
very few instances has followed
the precedent Of seniority in nom
mating men for committee chair
manShips.
In the house eighty-fOur of the
new representatives are Demo
Gratis while eleven of the new SEN
atOrS also belong to the Demo-
cratic party. This does not take
into account the possible break
ing of he deadlOckS in New York
Iowa and Colorado which would
mean nineteen new senator's in
stead Of sixteen.
On account Of the diSagreeing
politics OF the two houses, on ac-
count of the prominence of the
always vexmg tariff problem, on
account of the large proportion
of new congressional blood, and
on account of the liquid cOndi-
tons of party lines in general,
there is little, doubt but that the
new congress which begins its
work today will write some inter
esting chapters into the political
history Of the nation. For while
seniority and length Of service
usually control and dominate con
greSsional affairs, there has beer
one notable exception, and thai

power IN the house, have been in
the minority for sixteen years
and that during that time nearly
all of their Old-time leaders have
been retired. Indeed, the split
in the party that resulted in the
Republican landslide of 1894 sent
most of the Old-time Democratic
leaders into private life from
which they never have returned.
Only three of the Democrats of
the new house ever sat under
the gavel Of a Democratic speak
er. OF these William A. Jones of
Virginia ranks first, he having
had twenty years q continuous
service, two terms of which were
under Speaker Crisp. Then
comes Champ Clark, the new
speaker, who has had sixteen
years of broken service, one term
of which was under Crisp. The
other is j. F. C. Talbot Of Mary
land, who was in the house
away back in the days Of Speak
ers Randall and Carlisle, and who
came back to congress in 1903 at
ter many years of retirement.
But the unique fact that not
a single member Of the new Dem
ocratic majority ever was chair
man of a committee; not a single
one ever presided over the com
mittee of the whole, Of over the
house in legislative session; not
single one ever was responsible
