COST OF THE DECORATIONS

President Roosevelt's visit to Richmond
was the chief topic Of conversation In the
city yesterday, and every ono seemed
lrdelighted" that the President had boon
accorded such splendid reception. a,
1t Is believed that the cost of the deco.
rations will aggregate $4,000.
These prices ranged from $40 to $500
per building. The heaviest cost was
upon the building of the Mutual Assur-
ance Society, at Ninth and Main Streets.
This cost was borne almost exclusively by
the tenants In the building, the pro-
prietors decorating only the lower story.
Nearly all the decorations were torn down
yesterday. Tho stand in the Capitol
Square was taken away and other ar
arrangements made for the President were
demolished.
There are various estimates MS to the
probable cost OF the entertainment to the
city. 1t Is thought that fair figure Is
$1,000.
The crowd greeting the President along
the streets was remarkable for its num-
bers, as well as for its enthusiasm.
1t is believed that more than 100000
people saw the President first and last
during his stay In Richmond.
Every one seemed highly pleased with
the manner In which the Presidents
party was handled in Richmond. and all
the comments on the subject were fav-
orable yesterday.

SMALL BOY HAS
COFFEE HEART. =

HEART BEATS TOO FAST

Excessive coffee drinking. City Hospi-
tai physicians say is the cause of little
Johnnie Nfurphys heart disease. Al
though only Syears old, he has one of the
worst cases of heart lesion that has ever
come to the institution
When he entered the hospital the
childs heart was beating 16O to the min
ute, Just twice the normal rate for
enid OF his age. For one month he has
had no coffee and his heart action has
been reduced to 100 beats a minute,
For two years the child has been
drinking from nine to twelve cups of
strong coffee every day. He began to
complain of pains as if needles were
sticking In his heart and for year has
slept scarcely three hours night and
then only when sitting propped up in
chair beside an open window.
Johnnie did not care for things to eat;
coffee was all the food he craved, and
except when cake or candy was given
him, he took no other nourishment. AS
he was sick and not expected to recover
he was given all the coffee he desired
until physician saw him and advised
that he be sent to City Hospital.
HEART WAS ovERwoRKED.
Every beat Of the child's heart could
be plainly seen. To one inexperienced In
medicine, 1t would seem that the, heart
extended over two5thirds of the chest
region. and the pdlsation is Of heavy,
prolonged character, quite different from
the sharp, quick beat Of the normal heart.
The boy is small for his age and eff
forts of physicians have been to build
up his strength. His trea tment has been
largely tonics and heart regulating medi-
cincs, such las strophantus or digltalls.
AS the heart, like other muscles, can
stand only a given amount Of ci'k, hos
pital internes estimate that the 20 beats
abstinence from coffee will prolong his
| life 10 or IL years.
| The heart OF a man VINO dies at 70
years has beaten 260 million times, npd
| if the normal beat is ", little Johnnie
Murphy was living twice as fast Ms any
normal person. When he first entered
the hospitala physicians freely prophe-
sled that he could live only a few weeks.
Under the treatment and total absti-
nence from coffee he has SO inH2roved
! that his chances for long life are con-
sdcred good If the heart lesion and de-
generation already set up can be healed.
lie is a son OF John Murphy, OF 11G
South Fourteenth Street. Mrs. Murphy
told the physicians that mono of her
other children had showed signs OF heart
| disease nor had they marked fondness
for coffee.-st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Literally thousands Of people suffer
more or less from heart weakness caused
by coffee. and with some. even one cup
day will bring on heart trouble.
The heart that has been only slightly
attacked by coffee will protest and make
its weak condition known under slight
exertion. and 1t Is plainly dangerous
