OVER SEA HABIT

The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine
in coffee cannot but result In the gravest eondi-
lions, In time.
Each attack of the drug tand that means each
cup of coffee weakens the organ little more
and the end Is almost a matter of mathematical
demonstration. A lady writes from a western
state:

that I should learn at very early age to drink
coffee Until l was tweaty-three years old I

developed into distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable. Then some
three years ago, added asthma In Its worst
form. My suferings from these things can be bet

and made every effort to make me stop.

REPORTS DENIED.
State Department Advised That No.
Colombian Insurrection is Planned.

Emphatic denial of the reports from Pam
anna that several Colombian generals were
planning revolution against the Colom-
bian government is made by Senior Don
Diego Mendoza, the Colombian minister at
Washington. The minister said:
1.-THE cable news from Panama that a
revolution has started In Antioquoia against
General Reyes headed by Gems. Gonzales
Valencia and Ospina, Is without foundation.
General Gonzales Valencia In an official
document lately published says, in part: L
love peace as the best blessing; free and no
duty of a public character to perform,
work day and night to increase my COM
mercial credit and to look after the educa-
ton of my family. these two aims being the
sole ambitions [ have now AS for Gen.
Ospina, his patriotism is well known. He
is not an adventurer."

FIGURES MADE PUBLIC
DIRECTOR NoRTH,s REPORT ON
UHGINNED COTTON.
Southern Members of the House Elk
press Much Dissatisfaction With
the Statistics Submitted.

Speaker Cannon today made public the
census bureau figures on ungfnned cotton
Immediately after the House was called to
order. The total amount of unginned cot
ton shown by the report is 25o,SS4 bales,
with f,643 ginneries ynheard from. This
publication was in accordance with the
Sims resolution passed by the House re-
quiring Director North of the census bu-
reau to furnish to Congress all data on
unginned cotton of the crop of 1905 col
lected before January 16.
An effort was made to have Speaker Can
non order the report read in the House,
but he fatty refused to do this. saying the
document must pass through ordinary
channels. and announced that he thought
the figures were INSTRUMENTATION. rather
than informa ton; that they. were based
on partial returns and of little value.
The Speakers Ruling.
The report had not arrived at the House
when the Speaker raped for order In
response to inquiries from the Department
Of Commerce and Labor as to how the re-
port should be handled he replied that he
would turn it over to the journal clerk and
have it made public through the public
document room in case 1t arrived before
the House went into committee of the
whole. Otherwise, he said. it must wait
until the House came out of committee OF
the whole, as he did not purpose deviating
in the least from the ordinary procedure for
the purpose of publishing figures of inter-
est chiefly to SPECTATORS
Officials of the Department of Commerce
and Labor hurried the report to the Capitol,
as they did not wish to be responsible for
delay, and it arrived in time to be placed
IN the Speakers charge before the House

the Speaker a. clerk in the public document
room read the figures for a large group of
members of the House and newspaper men,
who were eagerly awaiting the totals in the
report
Southern members expressed much dissat-
lsfact1on with the figures. and said they
We're far from the truth. Members from the
northern cotton mill districts were equally
harsh In their criticism of the totals, and
declared the ginnerieS unheard from might
make radical difference in the figures.

Senator Pettus Makes Confession.

Senator Pettus of Alabama confessed to-
day at the White House that he will easily
take rank in the class of poorest men in the
Senate, there having been some gossip as to
the poorest man there. The venerable Ala
bama senator, efghty-four years old, called
on the President
Il agree with William Writ, who was At
torney General of the United States, that
industrious lawyers work harder, live better
and die poorer than any other class of peo-

while the joint printing committee of

tation for reduction of government print
Ing already has resulted in prospective
saving of million dollars a year.
Charles B. Landis of Indiana. chairman
OF the House committee on printing, made
this statement after conference with the
President today. Representative Lands
says the committee Is continuing its inves-
tigation into the wastefulness of govern

The boards are composed of practical men,
who see to 1t not only that Implications of
printing are not made, but that reports
from the departments are condensed into
reasonable space. Some items of printing
have been cut off entirely. For instance,
the specifications heretofore furnished by
the patent office, consisting of thirty-six
large volumes each year, have been discon-
tlnued. They have been furnished in the
past to the courts all over the United States
but inquiry shows they have not been utu-
lied. Whenever a suit involving a patent is
instituted the clerks of the courts have ap-
piled to the patent office for a certified copy
OF the specifications, The copies are sup
piled at nominal cost. The court officials
never pay the slightest attention to the spece
ifications heretofore filed with them, SO they
are practically useless. The elimination of
these specifications alone saves to the gov
eminent $4,000 year. On the whole, I
think we shall have no difficulty in saving
a million dollars year"

Richmond's Next Postmaster

President Roosevelt has practically de-
ctded to nominate r. e. Cabell as post
master at Richmond, to succeed Post
master Knight This tentative decision of
the President was reached after the presen-
tation of Mr.. Cabell by Representative
Slemp few days ago. Mr.. Slemp has
recommended CabelPs selection, and he will
be nominated unless mighty good reasons
to the contrary are shown. The term of
postmaster Knight does not expire for a
number of weeks. Mr.. Cabell was the re-
publican elector of the Richmond district
in the last presidential election, and stands
high.
The nomination of A. M Stimson as
postmaster at Hot Springs will probably
be made in a day or two. Stmson has
been postmaster al Hot Springs for four
years, and is not democrat as has been
stated. M. E. Ingalls,, president of the
Big Four road. and interested in the Ches-
apeake and Ohio road. wishes the reap
pointment of Stimson who was related to
some branch of the ingalls, family. Mr.
