Information nnd Gossip Picked Up Here
and There la Washington.
Present Congress Thus Far Shy on Talk
NOT t eercxa
. 00 aOS
8Q0. JL.
WASHINGTON. Investigation dls
closes that congress has not
talked bo much during this session as
many of Its critics allege. Other
congresses have talked more and have
consumed more space In the Congres-
sional Record.
All this In face of the fact that the
present has heen widely attacked as a
do-nothing congress bent only on end-
ing the session without passing any
measure that could be assailed in the
presidential campaign with each
member Intent on filling as many
pages as possible of the Record with
burning thoughts for the edification of
his constituents and for impressing
them with the idea that the in-
cumbent is the best possible man to
return to Washington.
Vp to date about 5000 pages have
been taken up in the Congressional
Record with the proceedings of con-
gressthat is with its doings and
sayings. This looks like a lot of
space and would appear to the casual
observer to afford room for a lot of
legislation as well as a great deal of
Queer Actions of Count Gizycki Recalled
WASHINGTON society Is keenly in-
terested In the contemplated di-
vorce i-rcc.'? 'lings between the Count
and Countess Gizycki and Is recalling
the unusual conditions under which
the engagement of the count and the
former Eleanor Patterson of Chicago
was made known.
When the parents of Miss Patterson
became convinced that their daughter
was serious in her attachment for the
Polish nobleman every effort was
made to put an end to the affair. This
in 1903 soon after Miss Patterson
had returned from St. Petersburg
where she had been visiting her aunt
Mrs. McCormick wife of the then
American ambassador to Russia.
One day without the slightest warn-
ing the count appeared in Washing-
ton. Society was startled at the un-
expected visit but much more so
when Miss Patterson made a round
of visits to her particular friends and
announced her engagement to the
count.
IjX1 Roller Skating Popular at the Capital
WASHINGTON has more skates to
the square mile than any other
city In the union. There la no call
for opponents of the liquor traffic to
view this statement with alarm. It
merely means that the capital's long
stretches of almost perfect asphalt
pavements afford an Ideal surface for
roller skating and that people take ad-
vantage of the condition.
In Washington roller skating is as
much a business as it is a pleasure.
A stranger is surprised by the num-
ber of persons he sees flitting about on
rollers. People skate to and from
business in Washington. So general
is the habit that traction companies
complain of dwindling revenue.
In Pennsylvania avenue between the
treasury and capltol the skaters out-
number automobiles and horse-drawn
vehicles two to one. One might ex-
pect to see children iu a majority
but more grownps skate in Washing-
ton. Chinese Minister Is
WHEN the former minister from
China was restored to his pres-
tige and returned to Washington . as
minister everybody fell Into the old
habit of calling him Mr. Wu as of
yore. But It seems that since he
left these shores various academic
honors have fallen to his lot. The
degree of doctorate has been conferred
by the Royal university of Peking. The
Germans too have taken note of cer-
tain economic efforts of the diplomat
and have enrolled him among the
savants of their imperial institute.
The minister Is very particular about
his title. He takes as much delight
in being addressed ' as doctor as a
conversation. But as the average con-
gress does things and talks about
them it is not so much. For example
the second session of the Fifty-ninth
congress which ended on March 4 of
last year filled nearly as much space
in the Record as has this session up to
the middle of April 1308. The first
session of the Fifty-ninth congress had
filled more space by several hundred
pages. Similarly the present congress
will stand comparison with several
other talkative congresses.
The longest speech in either house
was made by La Follette. The sen-
ator from Wisconsin consumed the
larger part of three days in attack-
ing the Aldrlch bill. The Browns-
ville case has not occupied a great
deal of senate time thus far but there
are severp.l. speeches yet to be made
upon it.
Aside from the fact that the senate
has not indulged in much protracted
talk It has not been working as a
body as regularly as usual this ses-
sion. Most of the time it has been ad-
journing over from Thursday to Mon-
day which is not true of the house.
But if congress cannot fairly be ac-
cused of talking more than usual it
must be admitted that It is going a
rapid pace in the matter of Introduc-
tion of bills. In the house alone
about 21000 have been introduced up
to date ah average of nearly 50 for
each member.
Her parents are said to have been
keenly annoyed by their daughter's
action and some means of making the
engagement formally known then was
decided upon. Mr. Patterson was
genuinely provoked and Insisted that
the engagement should be announced
merely without the formula stating
that the parents of the prospective
bride authorized it. Mrs. Patterson
it is said seeing that her daughter
was fully determined to become the
Countess Gizycki persuaded her hus
band to make the announcement in
the regular way. The wedding fol
lowed soon.
In his visit to Washington Count
Gizycki was not Invited to be a guest
at the Patterson home but remained
at the New Wlllard where he occupied
a room on one of the upper floors and
in the least desirable section of the
house. He was attended by a man
servant who came to the hotel when
needed.
After the wedding the count left the
Patterson home and returned to the
hotel to get his luggage and it was
currently rumored that he did not go
back to the Patterson mansion for
bis bride but telephoned that he
would meet her at the station and
that the new countess left her home
In company with her parents and her
brother.
It is a daily eight In F street's shop-
ping district to see young women and
matrons as well swing to the curb in
front of a department store slip off
thir skates and enter bearing them
in their hand ready to be douued again
when the shopping Is done. In Bome
of the shops skates may be checked
Gray bearded men plug along sedate
ly twisting and turning to avoid wag
cms and trolley cars with the nimblest
of the youngsters. Some of the
elders are so skilled In the art that
they manage to maintain a respectable
rate of speed while reading a news
paper or a magazine but few take
these chances unless the street Is
reasonably free from traffic.
Butcher boys deliver steaks and
chops on skates; the clash and ring
of the tiny wheels betokens the ap
proach of the matutinal rolls and
cream; the newsboys skate; letter car
riers In the outlying routes use skates
to get about speedily and easily.
Lovers no longer stroll about In
the parks but glide hand In hand
where the skating is good and In
streets where the electric lights are
not too thickly sprinkled. A roofed-
over skating rink would starve to
death in Washington where almost
every one has rink room gratis In
front of his door.
Now "Doctor" Wu
youth who has Just taken his sheep
skin from a medical school. He cor
rects all lapses Into "Mr." and all his
official documents and letter paper
bear his new title. Mr. Wu so rumor
has it would like to receive degrees
from American universities and he is
delving into historic research which
will lead to such honors.
Though he has always professed the
utmost admiration of American meth
ods he has chosen the University of
Oxford as the place to educate his only
son. This young man began his
career In letters at the Washington
high school and after graduating there
went to a military school at Atlantic
City. He Is now in the university at
Peking. He intends to study law witS
an excursion into the domain of music.
Young Wu Is a delightful performer
on viol and piano and It is as much hit
ambition to awaken China musically
as It is of his Illustrious father to com'
pass the Chinese economic and indu
trial awakening.
Rock Candy for Coffee instead of
Sugar Volcanoes of Rum.
"Have you noticed that many host
esses are serving rock candy crystals' J
instpad of sugar with after dinner cof-
fee?" Inquired an observing woman.
I've tried it myself and have found
that the prettiest effect Is gained by
buying an equal amount each of red
and white rock camlv and mixing the
irregular shaped crystals In a low
glass bonbon dish.
"These are served with a bonbon
spoon. There's an especial advantage
in this plan for those who want very
little sugar as the smallest quantity
may be taken less than an ordinary
piece of cut sugar. This rock candy
is absolutely pure very cheap and
gives a particularly delicious flavor
to black coffee.
"Another new kink I noticed at a
luncheon was the passing of two little
glass dishes with the salad course.
One dish held finely minced green
peppers and the other tiny slices of
little new 'onions. The guests took
what they wanted and sprinkled it on
the salad which was a combination
of lettuce tomatoes and cucumbers.
"At the same luncheon a fancy om
elet with burning rum was served in
stead of the usual sweet course. In-
stead of the ordinary river of
fire running placidly around the
the platter the effect was
quite spectacular and reminded one of
miniature volcanoes. I found that this
effect was the result of stacking lumps
of sugar in heaps at intervals 'round
the platter."
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
If many of -the books look shabby
In the bookcase cover them with tan
moire paper. They can be marked on
the back with India ink.
Apple stains on the hands can be
removed by rubbing them with the In-
side of the apple peel or with a little
lemon juice. Rinse in clear water.
Cups and jugs often show a want of
strict cleanliness about the handles.
This Is easily prevented by an occa-
sional scrubbing with a email well-
Soaped brush.
Never place a good piece of furni-
ture very near a fireplace or register.
The heat dries the wood and glue oft-
en causing rot where the parts are
joined together.
Should the oven get too hot while
baking put a cup of cold water in
rather than leave the door open. In
baking delicate cakes in a gas oven
it Is nearly always desirable to keep
a small dish of water in the oven.
To blacken tan boots wash the
leather In rather strong soda water
but ds not saturate It. When quite
dry black the boots all over using
the cut half of a potato Instead of a
brush. Black thoroughly then polish
with a brush as usual.
Vaseline stains on l'nen should be
removed before the garments are
washed for though the stains only
look like grease soap sets them. The
right plan is to soak these stains in
kerosene turpentine or alcohol be-
fore putting them In water.
Boiled Tongue.
Try this dish some time when you
are almost at your wit's end for some-
thing different. Boil a fresh tongue In
salted water till tender with a sprig
of celery or parsley small parsnip
carrot and onion. When almost cooked
take from water and skim and return
again to the water. About an hour be-
fore serving place In deep pan pour
over following sauce cover closely and
bake in moderate oven turning in half
an hour.
Sauce for Above Melt tno table-
spoons of butter and add two table-
spoons flour and two cups of water
which tongue was cooked In two cups
of stewed and strained tomatoes tea-
spoon table sauce If liked and salt and
pepper to taste.
Baby Cage.
To keep baby out 0 mischief and
know exactly where she Is saw off the
top of a barrel about down to the first
hoop; take out every other stave
and fasten the remaining ones to the
hoops. Leave the bottom of barrel
on and In the open space from where
the staves were taken toys may be
suspended by strings tied to the hoop
around the top. The inside of the bar-
rel may be covered with oil cloth
which can be cleaned easily. Casters
also can be added. Here baby will be
contented while mother attends to her
household duties.
Ribbon Cake.
One and one-half cups of sugar two-
thirds cup of butter three eggs one
cup of sweet milk three cups of flour
one teaspoon of cream tartar one half
teaspoon of smla b little jMt Flavor
with vanilla. You can have three or
four layers. Take nearly one half of
the mixture or one-third of it add one
tablespoon of molasses one cup of
seeded chopped raisins one-fourth
pound of citron nutmeg cassia and
cloves. Put together with a thin layer
of quince or raspberry jelly to hold
it in place.
Cooking Cabbage in Milk.
This is a delicate way of preparing
cabbage being both odorless and di-
gestible. Prepare the vegetable by cut-
ting It into very fine shavings; cover
in a saucepan with milk and season to
taste. Set on the stove allowing it to
cook for nearly 20 minutes. Serve at
once.
Spaghetti and Beef.
Take one pound of clumped beef
and same amount of chopped onions
and fry brown. Add one cup of spa-
ghetti broken in small pieces then
one can of tomatoes a little red pep-
per and one teaspoonful salt. Cook
half an hour.

RE you socially
your husband's
inferior or his su-
perior? If you are bis
inferior he is
probably too much
of a gentleman to
have told you so
but if you are bis
superior I am very
much afraid that
you have let him
know it.
But If you are
and if you have
don't let it rest
at that. Try by
all the means In

ners are better
than his; if you
tannot eat a dinner without the use
of from two to three forks while
he Is prone to get along without any
try to educate him. If he won't use
three compromise on one. That will
be a beginning.
It will be a great pity if you let
him drag you down to his level. It
is always a pity when a man or a
woman coasts from birth instead of
climbing from birth. Let your mot-
to be: "Ever upward." Don't you
want to be superior socially to any-
one on earth? How can you become
so if you do not climb and drag your
husband along too?
Lift him up and teach your chil-
dren to be a little better than-either
It was a mellow day for such a ser-
mon. The year was fulfilling all of
the promises made in early spring. In
the woods there wns a blaze of red the
ripe juices of autumn and in the air
there was that melancholy sweetness
that makes a man think that makes
him look upon his neighbor as his
brother. On a bench not far from the
pulpit old Urn Jucklln sat determined
to surrender himself to the influences
of the sermon. During the week just
ended human nature had not been
overBtrong in him. He had told one
man that the only truth about him
was the truth that he was a liar had
swapped horses with a chicken ped-
dler and was glad now that he had
not succeeded in overtaking him aft-
terward; he had trapped a few quails
out of season but had sent the most
of them to the sick had done a few oth-
er things not strictly in liue such as
halting for a few moments at a livery
stable to see two dogs fight; but now
as he sat ready to listen to the word
he knew that down in his heart he
bated no man.
The old minister arose and gave out
the hymn militant verses written by
some ancient fighter and then looked
with a" scowl at the empty benches at
the rear end of the room. Old Dock
Hency cleared his throat and settled
himself down and Sister Buckworth
repository of every neighborhood scan-
dal for more than two geneiations
smacked her mouth for she felt that
this was to be an occasion for what
the rude slangists called "hot stuff."
And it was. The preacher tiptoed in
his wrath against the world. Never
before had that broad boulevard lead-
ing to destruction been so frightfully
crowded. It did not seem that there
was a possible show for anyone to be
Bared. And It was not a figurative
hell that the preacher painted but a
great pit roaring with flames. Into
the house he 'so strongly brought the
smell of sulphur that a boy sneezed
and a little girl shuddering in fright
crept closer to her mother. Old Peter
Balch shaver of notes and holder of
mortgages on the homes of widows
cried out "Amen" and a mule that had
been tied to a swinging limb broke
loose and tore off down the road.
When the sermon was done Limuel
waited for an opportunity to speak to
the preacher. "Just want to talk to
you a few moments" he said. "No
hurry. Walt till you shake hands with
all these folks that are crowdin' one
another ru the road to distruction."
The preacher held forth his hand
and Jucklln took it holding it for a
moment looking him In the eye. "I
want to talk to you privately. Would
you mind goln out here and settln' on
a log with me?"
Tbi minister smiled. "Limuel" said
he "are you at last about to ask for
terms? Has the light fallen on you?"
"Well. I don't know but I am a lit-
tle scorched. You women folks go on
home and I'll overtake you."
"Shall we have witnesses as to what
you are going to say?" the preacher
inquired. - -

of yon. This will not be hard as '
they already feel they are that Is
If they are good Americans. It they
are Chinese they are becomingly
humble and think that the sun rises
and sets In you and your husband.
But It is safe to say that your chil-
dren are not Chinese. They want
to move on a higher social plane
than you moved and on a much high-
er plane than their father moves.
And when they have reached what
they have striven for just use them
to pull you and your husband up and
the end of your family will be some
Blue Book.
It's a great ambition.

HAT would we

years ago allowed

would have called
her lacking in

But the world

"No I'd rather talk to you alone
out there where the wild grapes are
purple In the sun."
"Limuel I thank you for this long-
sought opportunity. Come."
They went out Into the woods and
sat down on a log. A gray squirrel
peeped at them. "Limuel is it about
rjy sermon that J ?u wish to talk?"
"Ves" said the old man cutting off
a chew of his twist.
"I am glad that It struck home."
"Ah hah. Glad I reckon that it
scared that little girl. Wait a mo-
ment. I have listened to you so now
you listen to me a while.". He slowly
wiped his knife on his trousers
snapped It and put It into his pocket.
"As I sat in yonder just now brother
I could hardly believe that I wa'nt
away back where the world was when
I found It just ripe for destruction.
The first picture that was drawed for
me was of little children in torment
and I went to bed and cried nearly all
night because 1 felt that nothin' was
of any use. My poor mother was
scared and my father was afraid to
say much for there was the preacher
ready to snatch away any encourage-
ment. We had all of us been con-
demned from the first and unless we
did an impossible task there was no
hope. But as I grew older the world
appeared to get better. The rocks in
the graveyards said that the dead
folks were all right. Humanity had
done away with Imprisonment for
debt. The slave ships were all sunk.
People were better fed and better
clothed. Books filled up the empty
shelves in the country. Newspapers
with their white wings flew every-
where. And all this time hell was a
coolin' off. It seemed to me that It
was almost ready for irrigation till
you turned loose to-day. What made
you do it? Don't answer me now
jest let me talk but what made you
do it? Don't you know that God is
gettin' so good that some of the
churches hive to meet every once in
a while to acknowledge it? Don't
you know that after all it Is love
and not fear that moves this old
world? You sing: 'Oh for a closer
walk with God' and you make such
a thing Impossible. You make Him a
destroyer Instead of a builder. You
would take away the softness and
the holy sweetness of the Saviour
and when that's done all is done that
can be done for evil. Instead of a
great book of wisdom you make the
Bible a threat hacked up by the devil.
You would have the people read it
with frightened eyes and I want to
tell you that when a man's scared he
can't learn anything to speak of. The
people are growln' all the time and
so is the church but some of you
preachers want to pull back. Do you
know why all over the country the-q
Is a disposition to put out the old
preachers and to take In the new
ones? It is because the young men
are more liberal. They are not bo set
In creed and therefore they are kind-
er hearted."
"Jucklln. It Is net for you to talk
on a schedule the modern steam
car and its brothers the electric car
aud the gasoline motor run at full
speed under no schedule and they run
where children most do congregate.
And so used do we become to dan
gers that we mothers I speak as a
man sit at our bedroom window
and calmly continue tvur sewing as
we watch Willy elude a machine run-
ning at 20 miles an hour and Jeuny
calmly step aside to allow the pas-
sage of a- road-devouring monster
painted red and "chugging" in a
manner unknown to our fathers who
did not even know what "chugging"
was.
Now when airships are commot
and they begin to fall from the sky
as they most certainly will in the
hands of Inexperienced aeronauts
the careful mother will at first make
her children play in the house or In
some protected playground but after
awhile she will realize that this world
Is meant to be lived in danger or no
danger and she will merely say:
"Willy if you' hear a strange nolso
overhead look up and dodge or I
can't let you play out of doors."
And in learning to dodge a falling
airship and at the same time keep
out of the path of a hurtling motor-
car the children of the future will
get to be so nimble that the race as a
whole will be improved. It will bo
a fast race in fact.
Which shows that everything )
for the best.

like this. You would have me tried
for heresy."
"Brother wh';re one man Is tried
for heresy 20 are dropped for nar-
rowness. Put that in your pipe aud
smoke it a while."
"I don't smoke sir."
"But you would have everybody else
smoke. Did you see that little girl
clinging to her mother? It will take
a long time to get that awful picture
out of her mind. And maybe by the
time that one is wiped out you'll be
ready with another one; and when she
grows up and glances about her In
the light of pure truth she will look
back and pity your ignorance."
"Jucklln I know one man whom the
devil is waiting for."
"Accordln" to your story .ie's waitr
In' for every man."
"But he is waiting for one In par-
ticular." "If you mean me let me correct you
a little. He can't get me for I be
lieve the Saviour when he said he died
to save sinners."
"You do not believe the Saviour;
you have denied him."
"No brother I have denied you
and the devil. Now let me tell you
what to do: Come over to my house
and get some of the books that my
son has sent to me. They'll do you
good."
"Tracts Issued by Satan and you'll
find It out one of these days. Juck-
lln I thought you wanted to talk about
the welfare of your soul and here
you are scoffing at the Gospel."
"Oh no I'm not scoffin' at love; and
the Gospel Is love the sweetest mes-
sage of love that was ever breathed
upon a helpless world. And It seems
strange that at this late day some of
you haven't found It out I believe I
hearn you say once that the printing
press was kecpln' folks from goln' to
church and you called it the agent of
the devil. You didn't stop to recollect
that unless the Bible had been printed
you never would have had cao. 2ut
go ahead preachln' your doctrine of
hate and the first thing you know
you'll be out of a job. You can't con-
vince a thlnkln' man that the world
which is just as much God's now as
it ever was Is worse off than it used
to be. There are more flowers to-day
than the world ever saw before. There
are more fuman hearts and therefore
more human love. God wisdom is
comin' closer; and the devil igno-
rance is goln' further away. You
frown at empty benches but after
while you won't have .even a tench.
And about that time you'll see happy-
people comin' out of a new church.
That's about all I've got to say."
"Jucklln you are going to hell."
"Well not before I get a bite ta
eat I hope. Good-day."
