Many Old Faces Absent from Congress

To put a couple of them in a coal

ton. who won his toga against the
brother of the president, Charles P.

new senators is Elihu Root, and no

r. HE latest bit of gossip which the
! social elect of Washington are now
excitedly discussing is an incident that
happened at the last Bachelors ger
man.
This winter, as everybody knows, at
the smartest balls and cotillons, it has
been the custom to set aside a room
for bridge, wise and considerate in
novation, since a number of both men
and women who attend these functions
do not care to dance, especially the
chaperones, who are little enough con-
sidered.
Mrs Longworth, always keen after
the latest fad, decided to institute this
practice at the Bachelors, and so at
the last german started a game of
bridge. 1t seems some of the men on
the committee objected. Jerome Bona
parte, great-grandson of Jerome Bona
parte, king of Westphalia, and there
fore great-grandnephew of Napoleon,
giving himself the royal airs, which he
occasionally assumes, approached Mrs.
Longworth and informed her, as a

DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.

Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The -caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very like uric acid and is often
the cause of rheumatic attacks which.
when coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
i am sixty-five and have had a good
deal of experience with coffee. con-
slider it very injurious and the cause
of many diseases. 1 am sure it causes
