Alter 3 yefen Bt YL FUN IN CONGRESS. Dear Daily Democrat: My favorite loafing place is the Congressional li brary, but this afternoon 1 went to see n-hat was going on in the House, 'i'licy had the omnibus appropriation bill under consideration and the par tictilar part under discussion bad to do with expenses around the building. There has been an elaborate turkish bath system for the use of members of the House. This 1 am told was much - used in the old boose period when many members after a "gay" time had to be washed and cleaned up for duty. In these temperance days there is al most no use made of them but the old employes are all on the payroll. One member said there was a man for - every spigot and two for every tub and door, lie moved that their sal aries be reduced from $12(10 to 600 per annum. Another republican said there would be little use lor them the next congress anyway. Kverybody laughed, while a democrat called out that we bathe at seasonable hours and at' home. The discussion related largely to the unwasliiug habits of the incoming democrats. This was re ceived in great glee by the democrats for they were the coming people and they did rather enjoy these llings of those taking their leave. Finally it was moved that the bathroom be closed and all its fixtures sold. It was urged by a republican that they would he no use for the next two years, until they came back when they could be replaced if needed. One old bald headed democrat brought down the house by suggesting that it was not necessary to sell the present fixtures and buy new as these could be rinsed. It was seriously urged as un wise to more than close the bathroom I and discharge the employes as the ' fixtures would bring nothing as old junk. However, it was decided on a very close vote. Chairman could not decide in call for ays and nays so they were called to stand up and there were 29 yeas and 28 nays. Then tel lers were called for and the members all walked between them to be count ed. Forty-four yeas and 43 nays. Many came out of the side rooms to be counted. Another entertaining item was the proposal to increase the salaries of the members clerks $500 each. One on the republican side made a sensation in his own party and g.'t great applause from the ilcnm--er.tfi by saying: "This will be regard ed as a personal grab and our last grab as we are only to lie here llie next sixly days." However it was pretty evident that many of the dem ocrats wanted the increase nud wanted the republican Mouse to pass it and gel the bhm". To heir that discus sion am .r;n. .

The second day the motion was renewed anil barely car ried. When she appeared on the plat form the priest who presided grudg ingly gave her place but no greeting. Whin she opened her mouth she had them and when she closed the presid ing priest jumped up anil gave tier ins baud and all went lovely. Up to that lime no woman's voice was heard in that convention. After that break of the ice many women were heard win made tine talks. Speaker Cannon was not in tin floor and in and out of the side rooitir chair, lie was strolling around on the and was not smoking. J. C. ELLIOTT. NOTICE OF FIRST MEETING OF CREDITORS.
