Outside of the Usual Opening
Preliminaries,
Washington, Dec. 2. —The open
jnj of the first session of the fifty
seventh congress at no®n today*
drew to the capitol a great throng
0 { spectators eager to witness the
scenes of animation which mark
ihe annual re-establishing of the
national law makers. ’ .
Although the actual work of the
two houses was not to begin until
I2 o’clock the historic old strue
ture —now refurnished from end to
end until it shone with marble,
gilt and rich decorations, was astir
long before that hbur. It was an
ideal day to bring ont the public,
sunny and warm with just enough
breeze from the south to lazily stir
the flags over the cap'tol, some of
which were raised for the'fi'st time
since the adjournment of congress
nine months ago. There was no
entrance restrictions, gnd the
crowd flowed uninterruptedly into
the building. Many ladies were
in the throng, including the wives
and families of sen tors and mem
bers as well as many of ‘the fem
inine representatives of the di
plomatic and other circles..
Senators and other members be
gan arriving early in the day and
there was the usual handshaking
among old friends and informal
talk of the work ahead. The vete
ran senator from lowa, Mr. Alli
son, was one of the first to reach
the senate wing and resume his
work as chairman of the commit
tee on appropriations. Senator
Jones, of Arkansas, the democratic
floor leader in the senate, was an
other early arrival and soon had a
circle of his democratic colleagues
in me clunk r.,;,u the.
session’s programme. Speaker
Henderson did not reach the house
wing until shortly after the session
opened and remained in his priyate
office, conferring with members un
til the formalities preceding his re
election as speaker.
At 1 o’clock the doors to the
galleries were thrown open and be
fore xi o’clock but few vacant
chairs remained. Handsome toil
ettes and bright colors there were
in profusion.
611 the floor members were ar
riving every minute. The lobby
in the rear of the hall was filled
with floral emblems sent to pop
ular members. There were tons
of flowers and a glance through
the lobby was like a vista through
a flower g; rden.
Asa rule the leaders on both
sides were slow in making their
appearance. Mr. Richardson, of
Tennessee, took his old place about
the center of the minority side
shortly after 11 o’clock. He was
surrounded by his democratic col
leagues. Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio,
was recognized instantly when he
appeared. Mr. Dalzell, of Penn
sylvania, one of the speaker’s lieu
tenants; Mr. Littlefield, the fiard
hitter from Maine; Mr. Hepburn,
of lowa, and other prominent
members began arriving soon af
ter.
A number of senators, including
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin;
drifted in from the senate side to
confer with their colleagues of the
house.

That’s the condition of many sufferer
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced, in cleav
ing the head and throat.
No wonder catarrh causes headache,
impairs the taste, smell and hearing,
pollutes the breath, deranges the stom

To cure catarrh, treatment must be
constitutional—alterative and tonic.
•‘I was afflicted with catarrh. I took
medicines of different kinds, giving each
a fair trial; but gradually gr.>w worse until
I could hardly hear, taste or smell. I then
concluded to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
after taking five bottles I was cured and
have not had any return of the disease

The following poem is from the
pen of Mrs-. Lula Tumlin Lyon, of
Cartersville, Ga., and is one of a
number to be printed in a forth
coming bcok of poems by this gift
ed lady:
I found within my book last night v
A folded page long out of sigtit.
1 clos 'd it uj>, and left it there,
As if in truth 1 did not core
Ah, we ail have a folded leaf
Th ;t in time s hook of long ago
We leave wi ll a sigh of half relief
As we fold it there when we hide it so.
And with forced smiles we turn away,
With the words: "111 read that page some
day ”
My folded leaf, how the soft eves gleam.
And blot the eyes which now I see,
And the beautiful h ir at evening beams
Above all otheis here for me.
Ah ! then tb it 1 fis folded down
And ev. r for me the locks are brown.
But how 11 >ve them who sit by.
My best and dearest, d.-arest now.
Ah 1 they may a >t know fpr what I sigh.
What brings the shadows on my brow
Ghosts do you say? rto let them he
They shall not come "twist thee and me.
They only come with the twilight hour,
When 1 light the lamps and close the blinds;
For the sweeti-st perfume is in the flower
That sleeps, the folded ynge behind.
Mo let it forever folded lie.
Perhaps I shall read it by and by.

Some dramas die in infancy for lack
of the elements of success. No matter
how elaborately presented they may
be, they fail to appeal to the public
and soon go on the shelf. But a mel
odrama like “Human Hearts” holds
its original charm. It has been seen
throughout the country for the past
five seasons, yet there is no decrease
in public interest in this delightful
play. It contains all the elements of
success, pathos, villainy Rnri comedy.
Besides, the scenic surroundings make
a picturesque production that
attracts attention.

The rugged life found among the
sun-kissed hills of Arkansas forms
the groundwork of a graphic story
that is depicted in “Human Hearts,”
that melodrama of intense interest..
This play will be offered at the opera
house tonight and a!ways ap.-ials
forcibly to popular interest of all
classes. It is a romance worthy of
Dumas and other famous writers.
Tiie story told in unfolding the plot
is a beautiful one, sweet, pathetic,
natural and it teaches a wholesome
moral lesson. Like those patriotic
songs, “America” and “The Star
Spangled Bauner,” it never fails to
touch the hearts and minds of those
who see it portrayed with vivid life
like action. Pathos and villainy are
happily blended with comedy so that
laughter is mingled with tears and
thrills.
We are interested, not only in
getting your work, but in giving
you satisfaction. All workihe best,
and fully guaranteed at
tf Baker’s, The Jeweler.

welcome melodrama, booked at the

in the quiet Arkansas hills and in
New York. The scenery used is there
fore picturesque, especially the rural
settings. They are founded on nature,
as it is in Arkansas and in Greater
New York. The acting of the play is
natural in every detail and there are
some intense scenes requiring heroic
work from the actors and actresses.
They are fully equal to every demand
We give you one hundred cents

Manager Nankevilleof the “Human
Hearts " company, billed at the opera
house tonight announces a virtually
new production of the play. He lias
procured special new scenery to ade
quately stage it and a company of
competent players. He has omitted
nothing in the details. A rare per
formance is therefore assured, After
five continuous seasons throughout
the country the play has lost none of
its magnetism. Like “The Old
Homestead.” “Shore Acres,” and
kindred dramas, it appeals forcibly
to the human heart. The villainy,
pathos and sensational incidents are
happily blended with spirited high
comedy.
There will be the usual services at
the Baptist church next Sunday
morning and evening. Rev. Alex W.
Bealer, the pastor, will preach at
both services. In the morning his
