abaanteaa when tho gavata Ml, MU
houses bad more than a- quorum.
Long before 12 o'clock the cor
ridors or the capitol woro throated
^rlth visitors and practically *11 the
gallery seats* were taken aa oarly
aa 11 o'clock.
Mra. Sherman, the wife of thaVlce
president, with a party of friean In
I the aeoate, occupied seats In th% jpreW
1 identlal gallery.* Thoro was a large
' representation In the dlplomatlergal
lory, and tho wives and families of
aenatora were conspicuous in , the
galleries reserved for them. ^<Qoag
line of visitors found U impMrfble
to gain admission to the pubH*jgal?
lorlea.
For some time before the tioiir of
convening, senators were exchanging
greetings and dlacuaslng the ha^pen
ings since the adjournment ? five,
months ago.
Notable abong them was.a largo
number of "lame ducks" who by real
son of political changes in ro- I
spective states, will not be present
when th'o roll is called in the next
congress. I
Conspicuous in this number was
Senator Depew. who sceomingly was
aa cheerful as if Now York state bad j
gone heavily republican instead of,
electing a democratic legislature
which will chooso his successor.
There was much of good-natured
chaffing of their republican brethren
Among the absentees was Senator
Elkins of West Virginia, who has I
been 111 for several weeks and will I
not be able to resume his duties tun
til after the holidays.
During the half ho.ur- preceding
the opening ol tho senate, Vico Pres
ident Sherman, wecricg a red car
notion and a cheery smile, held an
impromptu reception In his private
room and exchanged greetings with
democrats and republicans aliko.
Just as the hands of the bil clock1
over tho vice president's rostrum in-?
dicated the hour of 12. Mr. Sherman j
entered the chamber and a hush fell
over the hall as he rapped his gavel
and stood with bowed head as Chap
lain Pierce offered pray^.
The chaplain gave thanks for the |
coming of another day 'when thej
national legislature was brought to-1
getbor and asked for divine guidance
in the deliberations of the congress.
Ho made special reference to the
fact that since tho adjournment
death haa claimed four of the sena
tors.
Following the prayer the roll of
senators was called by states and the
preaonce of a quorum was announc

SURPRISE
The change of Rev. M. T. Plyler
rn paitor or the Urn Methodist
church, this city, occasioned no llt
tla enrpriee. He hu inly been pas
tor here for the pest two years sad
every one of the oommunicnnts of
th* church expect*- him to be return
ed. He has done a fine work In this
city. During hie administration the
church hss prospered in every way.
A new organ has been totalled, s new
parsonage Is being erected and the
church bag raise dmore for sll pur
pise* this yesr than In Its history.
Rev. 'Mr. Plyler goes to his new
field carrying with him the best
wiihes of all our people. Any charge
In the conference Is to be congrst
ulsted on having him ss their pss
tor.
The Elisabeth City District, we
feel sure, will lesrn to love and extol
him.
New Alderman.
At the regular monthly meeting
of the Board of City Aldermen held
Inst night In the City Hall, Aldermsn
E. R. Mlxoo, as alderman from the
second ward on account of his elec
tion as county treasurer. The board
elected George J. Studdert to suc
ceed him sod ho qualified and was
sworn in to fill out the unexpired
term og Mr. Mixon.'
We feel sure the interest of tho
city will be well taken care of In
the hands of Captain Studdert.
Captain Studdert haa nonoreu ttie
city as msyor and held many posi
tions of trust ao far as city affaim
is concerned. He la one of our most
popular citizens and the 'presfdtK
board of aldermen could not have
made a better seelctlon as a succes
sor to Mr. Mlxon. Mr. StuJdert
will give tone and force to the board
n their administration of city af
nlrs. He is the right man in the
'ight place.
I THINK
With all due respect lo W. H. Ba
ler, our photographer, he ought to
anvass East Second street, for a
tonus or in other words, the Second
treet people ought to buy that place
ie has for sale, and give It to him
or the way he advertises their prop
rty will make people think there
s no place In Washington like East
econd street. We all know every
iody couldn't live long there If we
.?anted to write.
