WASHINGTON, December N.-The
youthful scion of the House Of Blaine,
who bears the name OF James G. Blaine,
Jr., was expelled from Georgetown Col
lege the other day for drunkenness.
There is nothing remarkable about this,
as he is not the first lad who has fallen
by the wayside, but it impressed upon

them was young Blaine and that his
companion was a nephew of ''infidal
Bobn IngersOll. The "kids" carried
silver-headed canes and as they came
up to order their drinks from the gen.

beside it a pair of stylish kid gloves
which had never encased his hands.

After his suggestion they went out, each
wearing about one hundred and fifty
dollars worth of clothes, and one with

cents with which to complete their
drunk. When seen later in the even

a most remarkable performance. "No,"
he said, 'you don't know anything

They want to get drunk quick, and
they always mix their drinks in that
