LATE CONGRESSMAN
HENRY 4. BINGHAM
Former Pennsylvania Call
ed "The Most Courteous
Man in the Body

Eulogized as a modern Chevalier Bay
ard, brave and enduring in war, gentle
and courteous in peace. 'the most cour-
teous man known In the House." the
memory of the late Gen. Henry Harri-
son Bingham, Congressman from the
First Pennsylvania district for more
than thirty-three years, was the sub
ject of addresses in the House today by
members who knew and served with
him. Not only his personal qualities of
the father of the House were praised,
but also his unfiagging industry as q
member of committee, was the subject
OF appreciative words.
General Bingham died March %, at
the age of seventy-one. He was first
elected to Congress in 1878. and served
continuously up to the time Of his
death. He saw nearly four years
service in the civil war, was wounded
three times, once captured, and breveted
many times for gallantry, SO that In
four years he rose from the rank OF
second lieutenant to brigadier general.
Congressman j. Hampton Moore adj

ridge, up which Pickett made his
famous charge. He told of Bingham's 9
bravery there, and of his subsequent
disdain of peril despite the fact that he
was wounded at Gettysburg, Spottsyl-

Congressman Crago reviewed the in
cidents of General Blngham's life, call
ing particular attention to his work In
organizing a company Of volunteer SOL
diers. He recalled the names of Bing-
hams colleagues at the beginning of his
service, and pointed out the extra ordi.

DOLLY MADISON BREAKFAST.

The Dolly Madison breakfast, which is to be a
feature of the Capital tomorrow, introduces unique
and interesting factor into the relations of women
to politics Among the four hundred who have &C
cepted invitations are the wives of practically all the
Democratic members Of Congress and Of the pros
pective candidates for the Presidency.
That charming mistress of the White House
whose name has become synonym of tact and
grace, dainty Dolly Madison, will give the keynote
to the occasion, but the toasts will wander or
less far afield And there are to be toasts, and
toastistress which is of the unique features of
the occasion 1t is to be for all the world just like
the banquets of which the men folks for so long
time held monopoly Inevitably there will be
touch Of feminine delicacy running through the
speeches, like pink ribbon through the meshes Of
lace yoke but the subjects themselves are frankly
masculine.
F. The speakers at the banquet board are women
who have been brought up, to certain extent, in a
political atmosphere. BY assimilation, if not other
wise, they have acquired intimate familiarity with
public affairs. Their postprandal efforts will be
well worth hearing, and many suggestion made
from their original point of view, will be we'll worth
while.
Without courting controversy by touching upon
any aspect of equal suffrage, it may be said that
this sane and active interest in public affairs the
part of the of the country cannot fail to have
a beneficial effect Even the most vigorous op-
ponents of woman suffrage gladly subscribe to the
doctrine that feminine influence in the molding Of
our national life is altogether the good The Dolly
Madison breakfast breaks new ground. The public
will await with interest the opinions which the gifted
speakers may have % express.

general reputation of it at this time means that
either he was nsincere in his campaign for election

BABY WILEY AND THE cATNIP SCHOOL

The general public has taken such keen interest
in the affairs of Dr. Wiley for so many years. even
when those affairs we're most personal, that he will
have to pardon the effort which is already apparent
to help him raise the baby. According to a usage
long established, new baby can come into the
community and be allowed to lust grow" Sugges-
tons as to the best method of raising babies come
as naturally from all sorts and conditions of people
as do recipes for curing cold They are all differ
ent, but each is infalble.
According to all the laws of hygiene, the pure
food baby should have a model infancy. In his
capacity as head of the family the proud father is
already outlining the regimen which is to be pursued
The young hopeful is not to be codded too much or
weaned too 1t is to be taught selfreance and
self-denial at time Of life when other infants

lead prophylactic existence in a sterzed medium
and thereby grow strong and prosper 1t is not
turing too much to say that there are venerable
mothers of four girls and ve six boys or So scat
tered throughout the country, who will hear with
lofty scorn of the scientific bylaws by which Baby
Wiley is to be raised Serene in the confidence
that peck of dirt and an abundance of catnip tea
sufficient to bring any baby to healthy maturity,
they will look down upon the theories borrowed from
the laboratory congress of experts could not per-
suade them that chewing the paint off a tin rattle
and later on sneaking forbidden fruit from the
apple tree do not on the whole conduce to long life
That chartered wildling the barefoot boy with cheeks
of tan, still remains the ideal.
Of course, il isn't true, and the experts have al
lowed us now and then to look through the micro
scope and see that germs the pestence which
waketf in darkness and the destruction that wasteh

hope that Baby Wiley in spite of his scientific rails

school and grow up with nothing than the
normal amount of aches in his tum-tum and the
pains of teehing Certainly large circle of friends
look on with anxious interest and, sharing the com
