Sanitary Bandages.

Too many people run to the family
ragbag when a finger is cut, and band
age it with the first bit Of goods that
comes to hand. l. is dangerous to put
colored calico strips, or soiled white
rags on wounds, and children should be
taught to use only clean ones in tying
I'D cuts. AS soon as a handkerchief,
napkin, or any piece Of white linen is
too old for use in any other way, wash
and rinse it well, iron thoroughly, dry
and fold neatly and put in a clean box
where all the members of the family will
know where to find it.-Exchange.

FOR FIVE O'CLOCK TEA.
The Custom a Pretty and CHEEKY One
and Should Be Observed with At
tention Paid to Daintiness.

There are illimitable possibilities for
artistic effect in the arrangement OF the
tea table. Pretty china, modern and an
tique silver services, quaint lamps, can
dies. screens, tabourettes and trays, all
go to form picturesque corners from
which the beverage is served.
A screen is a well-nigh Indispensable
object In connection with the setting OF
the tea table, in that it serves as an ad-
mirable background for the hostess ana
the tea things as we'll as to protect the
flames of the lamp from draft.
About the making Of tea. English
women think Americans quite lacking
in knowledge of the art. This might
have been true once, but Americans
have become proficient since then, and
to-day you will get just as good q cup

ASK FOR RECONSIDERATION.
Sons of Revolution Want Officers t.
Withdraw Reservations,

The members of the District Society of
the Sons of the Revolution al a special
meeting held at the George Washington
University last night almost unanimously
decided to ask the president, vice president
and secretary of the society to reconsider
their designations, previously rendered.
These three positions are held by Messrs.
F. P. B. Sands, F. w. Huidekoper and DR..
Marcus Benjamin, respectively, and their
resigna tons were presented several weeks
ago. The causes which led the three Off
GERS to resign are not fully understood, but
it is asserted they were offended at the ac-
tons of certain members of the society
who manifested a desire to run the affairs
of the organizat ton without consulting the
officials appointed therefor. AS an in
stance, 1t is pointed out, arrangements
were made for the celebration of Washing
tons birthday by the members of the or
ganization at the Columbia Theater, with
out the knowledge of President Sands, and
he was not informed there would be any
exercises except informally, and then after
his resignation had been presented.
The meeting last night was held for the
purpose of settling the differences between
the members and was attended by large
number of those affiliated with the society.
President SANDS and Vice President Hude
koper were present, but Mr.: Sands refused
to preside, and Admiral Walker took his
place. DR.. Benjamin was prevented from
attending by illness.
The whole situation was gone over care
fully and the more conservative members of
the organization counsel moderation and
harmony. Mr.. John Lee Carroll of Mary
land, president general of the national Or
ganization, was present and made an ad-
dress in which he pleaded for harmony and
a reconciliation between the contending fac
lions. The members listened to the COM
plants and the meeting was long drawn
out: The final action, however, was to
have the officers who had resigned to re-
consider their designations.
Neither of the three disaffected officers
will discuss their probable action or the
causes which lead thereto 1t is probable,
however, that they will withdraw their res
ignations.

ALLEGED ATTEMPTS AT POISON.
When the First Story Was Made
Public in California

dispatch from San Francisco, Cal,
says: The story of attempt to poison
Mrs Stanford in San Francisco, Cal, was
| first made public on the 18th of last month,
when it was declared that strychnne had
been found in a bottle of mineral water
of which she had taken several drinks.
She became Ill, and an analysis showed the
presence of the deadly drug in the water.
To DIR. William Boericke who attended
her, Mrs. Stanford told the story of what
she believed to have been an attempt upon
her life. She suspected one, and on the
physicians advice soon went to the coun-
try. Returning here apparently in i'm
proved health, she sailed for China and
Japan by way of Honolulu on the steamer
Korea February IS, arriving at the TIa-
waiian port a few days later The alleged
attempt to poison her was investigated by
a detective agency, but no results We're
obtained and the matter apparently was
dropped.
The story of the attempted poisoning as
printed at the time stated that Mrs. Stan
ford had taken three drinks of the dead
ly mixture, but the poison had been used
in such large quantities that it served
as its own emetic. Mrs. Stanford was
taken violently III and medical aid was
summoned. The contents of her stomach
and the water remaining in the bottle were
analysed and sufficient strychnine to have
killed three persons was found
In her California street residence, the
on Mob Hill, there were ten persons at
the time of her illness, which began with
her drinking the water on January IA There
were besides Mrs. Stanford, All Wing the
Chinese factotum, who had been In Mrs
Stanford's employ for twenty-five years
All Young, the house boy; Yeng, the cook
All Lee, the second cook; Wong, the Sec
ond butler; Nora Hopkins, the housemaid
Elizabeth Richmond the lady's maid; VIII
liam McWhinney the butler, and Miss
Bertha Berner, Mrs. Stanford's secretary.
who accompanied her on the voyage to
Honolulu.
An official of the Morse detective agency
son the life of Mrs. Stanford stated
that there was some foundation for the
belief that she had been poisoned prior
TO her departure for Honolulu. Beyond
that statement, however he would give
particulars.
terday that his department had not inves-
tigated the story of the alleged attempt
to poison Mrs. Stanford He said that
no complaint had been made to his de-
partment, and If any investigation had been
made, it was made by private parties.
Attorney Wilson said, when first inform
ed of her death, that Mrs Stanford had
been in poor health for some time ana
probably died from heart failure apoplexy
or some similar trouble. Shortly before
she went to Honolulu. he added she had
severe bronchial cold and her physician
DR.. Boerieke, advised her 70 seek warmer
climate.
Elizabeth Richmond a maid formerly In
the employ of Mrs. Stanford, said yesterday:
Mrs. Stanford was in the habit of talk
ing bicorbonate of soda. She kept i in her
dressing room, and often took SriittIe of
II in water when she ate anything that
disagreed with her."
