WASHINGTON CHEFS AT WAR
Culinary Experts of the Capital at
Variance Over Social
Status.

There is great scandal among the
chefs of this city. says recent Wash
ington correspondence of the New
York World. Burning with a desire
to do something for the San Francisco
sufferers, the chef of the Austrian am
bassy organized culinary exposition
at Rauscher's, the proceeds of the sale
of the set pieces, if that Is what they
are called, to so to the sufferers.
Baroness Hengelmueller was gra-
ciously pleased to give the affair her
patronage. Not so some of the other
chefs. They held mass meeting and
protested. The Austrian chef is not
the dean of the chefs. Poof! He
ranks below the chef for the italian
embassy, although the Austrian am
hassador is acting dean. Moreover
the chefs of the private families have
no concern with the chefs of the Off
cial establishments.
The culinary exposition was held,
but the chefs who refused to be led
by chef who is not dean of chefs
are wildly proclaiming that the ex-
position was not worthy the art OF
the chefs of the city and did not accu-
rately represent them. 1t looks as if
there may be a tragedy before it is
ended. The chefs are holding meet
ings every night and party feeling is
running high. A chef, it must be
understood, like coachman or but
Ter, takes rank from his employer.
Far be it from an ambassadorial chef
to mingle with a ministerial chef, and
far be it from the chef of the dean of
the diplomatic corps to follow the chef
of one farther down the Inc.

One Of John Aliens,

"Private" John Allen, formerly q
congressman, has been on visit to
Washington. After watching events
in the senate for an hour or so one
day he said: THE moresI see of that
marvellous equilibrist, Senator Allison,
of Iowa, the more am reminded Of
man named Gates who used to live
In my town in Mississippi He would
never express decided opinion about
anything, so lawyer and doctor put
up job on him. The two met Gates
one day and the doctor told how he
had shot buffalo that was up big
tree eating grapes. The lawyer scout
ed the idea of buffalo climbing q
tree, but the doctor stuck to his story.
At length the disputants asked Gates
what he thought of the matter. The
latter deliberated long, and finally
said: Well, as a general thing, 5uf-
falo don't climb trees, but there's no
telling what they will do when they
are after grapes

PEOPLE AT THE CAPITAL.

John Sharp Williams, the Demo-
cratic leader in the house, writes po-
etry for recreation At least, he says
1t Is poetry-and he also says it is rec
reation.
Secretary Taft, who recently has
been visiting New Haven, recovered
the huge cane that he carried while
attending Yale college. 1t was in the
possession of Mrs. George Hotchkiss.
Congressman P. P. Campbell, Of
Kansas, is regarded as one of the best
dressed men in Washington. One of
his friends once described him as "the
only member of the Kansas delegation
who does not look like Kansan."
When Gen. G. H. Grosvenor, Of
Ohio, ends his term in congress a
large number of heads will fall in
Washington. J. G. McElroy, the post
master of the house of representatives
for ten years, is one of the men who
will have to go.
Justice Holmes is one of the most
peculiar judges the supreme court has
ever known. In order that he may
preserve his mind free from distrac-
tions of information and misinforma-
tion that would impair his efficiency
and wisdom as jurist he does not al
low himself to read the newspapers.
For several days ex-senator Pugh,
of Alabama, occupied seat in the
senate while the Hepburn bill amend
ment was under discussion. The two
Alabama senators, Morgan and Pettus,
sat with him, one on either side. The
combined ages of this trio is 252 years.
Ex-senator Pugh is hale and hearty
at Sc and appears to be trifle spryer
than Senator Pettus at 81 and Senator
Morgan at 81.
Mrs. Fairbanks is frequent occu-
pant of the vice presidential seat in
the reserved senate gallery, being ac-
companied usually by several friends.
A few days ago the vice president con-
tributed his share to parliamentary
tangle by making somewhat unex.
pected ruling, which he later corrected
on reflection. After adjournment the
vice president joined Mrs. Fairbanks
and her friends and was subjected by
his spouse to considerable raillery be-
cause of the bad mixup in the pro-
ceedings. Really, Charles" she re-
marked, II think you should next year
attend the meetings of the D. A. R.,
and brush up on parliamentary law"

SENATOR cocKRELL's BAIT
It Was Too Heavy for the oarsman,
Let Alone a Fish, to Get
Away With.

Several congressman were induigins
in . free and easy talk on the sGbject
of railroad rates, the interstate COM
merce commission, and rebates, says
Success Magazine.
Talking about bait" said jolly
western congressman, did you hear
about old man Cockrell's fishing exper-
ience up the Potomac river, not long
ago."
Senator Cockrell," as he is "till
called, went fishing up the Potomac
with a Missouri constituent who holds
down a small job in one of the depart
ments, hired a boat, and the constitu.
ent volunteered to row it. After pro-
ceeding about two miles up the river
they anchored the boat by a large
stone which the keeper had placed on
board for that purpose. After several
hours of Ill luck Cockrell decided that
he had enough fishing for one day and
ordered the constituent to turn the
beat homeward. Both the occupants
forgot about the anchor stone, and the
oarsman could not understand why
pulling down stream with tide and cur
rent favoring should be so much hard
er than it was coming up. Late in the
afternoon the senator and his friend
pulled up at the boathouse and made
a vigorous complaint to the keeper
about the heaviness and slowness OF
what seemed to be a light craft The
boatman's quick eye discovered the
cause of the hard pulling and he ex-
claimed:
Why, senator, no wonder you. mad
hard pulling! You have been dragging
your anchor all the way down the riv-
err"
Neither Cockrell nor his companion
was willing to acknowledge his ignor-
ance of the fact, and the former indig-
nantly declared:
ITS none of your business il we
did; we had a right to get some exer-
else even If we didn't get any fish"

TONIC TREATMENT
Weak Stomach and Sick Headache
Cured by Or. Williams
Pink Pills.

The symptoms Of stomach trouble
vary. Some victims have a ravenous
appetite, others loathe the sight of food.
Often there is feeling as of weight on
the chest, a full feeling i'll the throat.
Sometimes the gas presses on the heart
and leads the sufferer to think he has
heart disease. Sick headache is fre-
quent and distressing symptom.
A weak stomach needs a digestive
tonic and that there is no better tonic
for this purpose than DR.. Williams Pink
Pills is shown by the statement of Mr..
A. O. Merrill, mining man, of Oneals,
Calf, q veteran of Battalion O, Third
U. S. Regular Infantry.
/ had never been well since / left
the army" he says, "always having had
trouble with my stomach, which was
weak. / was run down and debilitated.
Could keep nothing on my stomach,
and at times had sick headache so bad
that I did not care whether / lived or
died. My stomach refused to retain
even liquid food and I almost despaired
of getting well as I had tried SO many
kinds of medicine without relief. Then
| was bitten by O rattlesrake and that
laid me up from work entirely for o
year, sixmonths Of which Ispent in bed.
"One day friend recommended DR..
Williams Pink Pills to me and I began
taking them. They cured me when all
other medicine had failed. I have
recommended the pills to a great many,
for during my recovery every one asked
me what was helping me so and told
them DIR. Williams Pink Pills. I can
not speak too highly of them"
If you want good health you must have
good blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
actually make new blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are sold by
all druggists or sent, postpaid, ON re-
ceipt of price, 50c. per box, six boxes for
$3.50 by the DIR. Williams Medicine

NoIsELEss FLAT THE FAD.
Tenants in Washington Are Re-
quired to Be Shod with
Rubber.

'Noiseless flats" a recent and benef-
icent innovation, is taking Washing
ton by peaceful storm In nearly all
of the recent apartment house leases
the "noiseless clauses" are inserted.
They provide that tenants must wear
rubber heels on their shoes, equip
baby go-carts, carriages and all prac,
ticable toys with rubber, and keep
rubber tips on all chairs, tables and
movable furniture.
All this rubbering is paid for by
the landlords, who receive full value
in the eagerness for which the noise
less flats are sought out by old resi-
dents. Rubber shops are established
near most Of the apartment houses,
where the tenants are bound by con-
tract to go to have their rubbering
DONE
AS a natural result Of the quiet Of
material things, voices of tenants
in these noiseless fats are, 1t is said
taking on a velvet tone. In the abb
sence of the sharp clatter elsewhere
prevailing, inhabitants Of the rubber
tired apartment houses find it nc
longer necessary, as many Of them
formerly did, to shout in order to be
heard The rubber" or velvet" voice
is becoming a noticeable feature in
those who have lived longest in the
padded hotels.

HIS CLOTHES IN THE OVEN
Guest at "Uncls Joe'ss Party Makes
a eliminating Mistake on
Getting Home.

Ever and anon, as the poets say
and it takes a poet to deal with this
subject properly, poet who knows
how to write about the Falerian, as
Horace did-ever and anon there come
"reminiscences of Uncle Joe" Cannons
birthday party. A large and imposing
statesman told this one conhdentially:
He went to the party, stayed at the
party until the lights were put out,
and then passed as rapidly as possible
to the cozy little fiat where his wife
and he live during the session of con-
gress. He felt it due to her mat she
should keep as quiet as possible, and
he might have felt it due to himself,
too-but that is neither here nor there.
In this frame of mind he hesitsted
in the doorway, and thought OF place
to undress where he might be secure
from observation, and where he would
not awaken his wife. He picked out
the bathroom. That seemed to be the
solution.
noise, and after he had rested for a
time he undressed. He is neat man,
and very careful about his raiment
So he folded his evening clothes nice
ly, tiptoed in, and got his pajamas,
and then went into the next room and
put his folded clothes in a bureau
drawer.
1t was a good job, fine job, well
thought out and fiawlessly executed.
He got to his own room, caught the
bed the fourth time it came around,
and soon was fast asleep.
He was awakened by his wife next
morning, and after few quarts of ice
water told her all about Uncle Joe's"
party, how he saw everybody there,
what the president said to him, and
all that.
He heard the cook making strange
noises. His wife went out to see what
was the matter. Soon she came back
and asked, in a careless sort of man
ner: by the way, dear, where did
you put your evening clothes when
you came in last night?"
my evening clothes? Oh! Yes.
Why, put them in the bureau drawer,
as l always do. That is strange
question. Why do you ask it?'
"Oh, / merely want to know" the
wife replied, "for it seems so strange,
If you put your suit in the bureau
drawer last night, that the cook should
have found it in the oven of the gas
stove this morning"

"Be Pleasant Every Morning Until
Ten O'clock; the Rest Of the Day
Will Take Care of ITSELF"

Will Take Care Of Itself"
This is one of the best little ser.
mons we know. Have you ever
stopped to think that the morning
Is the time when your temper is usu-
ally rufled, and have you ever
stopped to think that the cause Of
bad temper in the morninS is nearly
always because your stomach has not
been working properly during the
night? It has contained lot of indi-
gestible substances that form gas
and makes you have dreams. 1t
breaks up your rest and you wake up
In the morning tired, instead of re-
freshed, as nature intended you
should.
Our grand sires required no ad.
monition to "Be pleasant every morn
ing until 10 o'clock; the rest Of the
day will take care of ITSELF" for they
digested their food and woke up fun
of life and energy ready for the days
duties, and this was because they
lived on simple foods instead of high
ly seasoned palatable concoctions,
which contain no nourishment. Ma.
ture gave us milk, wheat and eggs,
and on these foods person can
live indefinitely, but If the milk is
skinned, and If the outside of the
wheat is taken off the kernel, and If
the lime, the salt, and the iron, which
is in the outer part of the wheat
berry, If these are all removed, you
have simply starch alone; the starch
goes into the stomach and becomes
sugar.
Do you know that a person would
starVe to death on plain white bread
and water? Do you know that he
could live indefinitely ON whole wheat
bread or on whole wheat food ana
water? These interesting facts are
all set forth in book called Back
to Nature" which tells about proper
living and gives recipes for meals of
the simple kind-the kind that makes
you strong and we'll; the kind that
makes you Pleasant every morning
until 10 o'clock" This book is pub
!ished at a great expense, but it Is
given free to every reader of this
paper. It is an advertisement Of
EGG -O-SEE," the great food-whlch
is made from whole wheat, which is
baked and predigested and is all
ready to serve from the package you
buy at your grocers. You get more
life and energy from a 10-cent pack
age of EGG-O-SEE than you will get
from a thousand dollars worth of
white bread. This is no idle claim.
1t is a scientific fact. We want to
tell about this simple food question,

INSURANCE MEN INDICTED
Forgery and Perjury Charged to Two
Former Vice Presidents Of
Mutual Life.

& New York, June Is. - Indictments
for forgery and perjury against Dr..
Walter G. Gillette, and for forgery and
filing false statements against Robert
A. GTanniss, both former vice presi-
dents OF the Mutual Life Insurance
company, were returned Monday by
the special grand jury which has been
past six weeks.
Six indictments were found against
DR.. Gillette, five for forgery in the
third degree, and one for perjury. Mr..
Granniss was indicted for forgery and
for making false statements to the in
surance department, the latter being a
mlsdemeanor.
The forgery indictments against DR..
Gillette are based upon alleged fake
entries in the books of the company
and the perjury charge grows out OF
his test :mony before the grand jury.
The forgery Indictment against
Granniss is based upon alleged false
! entries upon the annual report of the
Mutual for 1904 to the insurance de-
partment. It is alleged that the sum
of SI,944,g58.23, the net profits of the
company for 1904, was not noted in
that report, but was concealed by Mr
Granniss. The misdemeanor charge
of making false statements grows out
Of the fling of the alleged false report
to the insurance department.
