CONGRESS QUITS
STATESMEN TOO WEARY TO FIGHT ANY LONGER AND CUT

NO EXTRA PAY FOR HELP
Rush from Capitol Begins as Taft Signs Last 5ills-Senators Reeede from lnsistence on Old State Claims and House Wins Victory.

Washington, Aug. 27.-The end of the second session of the S.Sty-second Congress came peacefully and quiet ly as the tired statesmen on Capitol Hill could make it. The desire to shake the hot dust of Washington from their feet overcame the belligerency of the four Senators who had been insisting upon an appropriation to pay several State claims, and they withdrew their filibuster
 The Senate also saw light on the question of the Penrose resolution providing for sweeping campaign contribution inquiry and this went through without a dissenting vote.
 Both bodies adjourned without a quorum and, all told. there were prob. ably less than hundred members Of Congress at the Capitol when the gay els fell. The House marked time all the afternoon. waiting the surrender of the Senate on the general detieien- cy bill, the tie-up on which prevented adjournment Saturday night and threatened for time to prolong the session inde fnitely.
 In order to adjourn the Senate had to make complete surrender on the General Deficiency bill The State claims of Maryland. Virginia. Oregon. and Texas for S600,00o, and the Senate proposal to give every employe at the Capitol an extra months pay, amount ing in the aggregate to S200,000 more, were abandoned when it became ap- parent that the House would not yield.
 With these items eliminated the General Deficiency bill was passed and then signed by President Taft in time to enable him to leave shortly after 5 o'clock for his summer home at Beverly.
 The scenes in both the Senate and House at the closing were as tame as could be imagined. Only about thirty. five Senators were in the chamber and it would have been impossible to have secured quorum if anybody had insisted on a point of order on this score.
 A wild outburst of applause greeted Spedhef tldI dhhouhCenieht oi du journment as his gavel fell in the House The floor immediately be- came an animated scene. members bidding each other goodbye and shak ing hands Old-time political foes buried all differences, and all feuds apparently were forgotten in the gen. eral leave-taking.
 The session had been continuous for 267 days, since December last. This was the longest since the second ses- sion of the Fifty-third Congress. which adjourned on August 2S, 1894, at the end of 268 days. Only seven times be- fore in the history of the country had any session run over 267 days.

Dave Ramsaur is Game"

II takes some nerve to leave home and
go into a hospital for the purpose OF
having your anatomy carved open and
the internal machinery regulated TO suit
the surgeons idea of The divine purpose

internal mechanism was loosing time
and ran only with friction that at times
was painful. He had an idea that his
appendix was off its trolly and as he has
seen many of his friends going along
peacefully about their business without
an appendix he concluded he would try
it. He went TO Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, and last Monday WIS
placed upon The operating table and
carved.

members of the family late that day
stated that he had undergone the opera
ton successfully and that he was in bed
resting easily. That will be good news

Mr.. Kupperbusch Again Serves

Our old friend Chas. Kupperbusch,
Palatka'S veteran TeStaurateur, is again
in charge OF the kupperbuSch Hotel and
restaurant.
1t will be remembered that last spring
Mr.. KupperbuSch leased the property TO
II. l.. l.. Simpson of Oil City, Pa, who
has been running the house and restau-
rant since and giving general satiSlac
tion. MIR. Simpson was assisted in the
conduct of the place by his wife, and
both were experts. For some little
time Mr.. Simpson wanted TO give up, the
work was too hard. Hence the arrange
ment whereby he surrenderS his lease to
Mr.. Kuppcrbusch the founder and build
er of the business and without doubt the
most successful restaurateur in all Flori-
da. The change will be well received
by all old patrons of the house, who
long since came to the conclusion that
when il comes to serving a meal there is
no one that can rank with Charley Kup-
perbusch.
Mr. and Mrs. Simpson have gone to
Jacksonville. MIR. KupperbuSch assumed
charge on Tuesday.

tested the result on the ground that the
Ford was understood. Even the late
lamented Goliath was better sport
than that. When little David soaked
him in the ear with that dormick, he
laid right down and died like a gentle
man, without saying anything about
David having taken an unfair advantage
of him by being so much smaller"
