Foes of Underwood Organize Washington, March 20.?Opposition from house Democrats who do not look with favor on Representative Underwood's plan to postpone renomination of committees until the tariff bill* is passed appeared to-day with the announcement that about 50 Democratic members from Nebraska, Iowa, Kaa8&s, Colorado, California and other Western states would hold a caucus April 4 to consider this plan. It is known that most of these Democrats ar9 opposed to Underwood's plan, claiming it is an attempt to clnb Democratic members into line for tariff duties which they believe too low. The same combine of Democrats forced the Democratic caucus March 5 to adopt a rule whereby members of the twelve important committees of the house should have no other com* mittee assignments.

One day, being desirous of getting off a letter in haste, he hurried <1 innf tho corridors of the house office building looking for a stenographer. Pausing before a door beyond which he saw a youth speeding away on a typewriter, he entered. "Say," clattered he, "can you take a letter down for me right away? I'm in an awful hurry."

"What'Jl you pay?" queried the young man. aA hundred and fifty dollars a month," replied Mr. Frick. "Isn't that enough?"

From the top to the bottom of the ladder we now recognize, to a certain extent, the value of fresh air, temperance and exercise. Of course improvement is needed, but rare nowadays are men of Hay's stamp. "Hay and his wife took a holiday one Saturday and went on an excursion to Atlantic City. Hay on his arrival there strolled about the station, looked the locomotive over and then disappeared in a barroom. "After an hour or so his wife sent for him.
