IS NOT A HUMAN HIVE!
The St. Regis, New York, Neither a Mammoth Hotel Nor Vast
 Caravansary
BUT A HOTEL OF HOME COMFORTS

Modern hotels have been advertised as smammoth.' vast" "palatial' and Insignificant" until these words have lost their significance to the public mind. The traveller of refinement and discrlmi- nation is seldom influenced by claims of this nature. Mere size does not attract
 and elaborate ornamentation can never take the place Of comfort. True 1t is that the modern traveller demands more than his prototype of a generation ago, and equally true is it that he receives more
 With this refinement of taste has come a finer discrimination. He seeks the hotels that provide comfort in the highest de- gree, where cuisine and service alike leave nothing to be desired Such a hotel he will find in the St. Regis, located at Fifth avenue and Fifty-fifth street. New York city, admittedly the most exquisitely ar ranged and luxuriously furnished hotel In America He will receive there the most courteous treatment and attentive ser- vice, he will secure home privacy and com fort in delightful private rooms, and he will have prepared for him meals of 8 character and perfection unsurpassed any where in the world. He will not have to pay exerbitant prices, for the St. Regis charges are no higher than those of other first class American hotels. In the mat ter of rooms a large, handsomely fur nished single bedroom can be hadNas low as $3 and S4 day; or the same with pri- yate bath for $5 day Cor S for two people), while the charge for an elegant suite, consisting of parlor, bedroom and private bath is but SIP day and up.

DAYS HAPPENINGS
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, May 10.-The most import ant happenings in the nations capital today were as follows:
 Urging Congress to take away from Porto Ricans the political power which has inspired them to put personal am- bition above patriotism" President Taft sent a special message to Congress rec ommending the amendment of the For aker act under which the island is gov erned.
 The Senate upheld by a vote of A to 35 the recommendation of it's finance com mittee by declining to reduce by quar- ter of a cent pound the duty on pig lead, thereby indicating the majority s voting strength on important tariff sched- ules
 Export duties on certain articles are provided for revenue raising purposes in the Philippine tariff bill, which was re- ported to the House by the ways and means committee.
 A commission of lunacy probably will be asked for by the defense, it was an nounced, to inquire into the sanity of J. c. Davis, the Washington lawyer. who with his brother, M T. Davis, was ar rested here on Saturday on charges of swindling, involving nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
 President Taft continued to follow his ayowed policy of selecting those he con- siders to be the best men to fill im- portant federal offices irrespective of their political faith, in sending to the Senate the nomination of Henry Groves Connor, democrat, to be United States judge for the Eastern district of North Carolina.

Town Marshal LeVert ar rested two negro women who were fighting on the public streets. Ed liar ris, an armed negro deputy sheriff. who has terrorized the town for several weeks by the promiscuous firing of his pistol at night, attempted to secure one of the women who was his wife In the altercation he tried to use his pistol when a bystander brained him with the butt of a gun. Harris was hastily car ried away by his friends and the trou- ble was thought to have quieted down. Latersthe sheriff appeared on the street and he and the marshal came near hay ing a clash in discussing the idea of an armed negro deputy Could Harris have been located Saturday night he would have received rough treatment, as the crowd was in an ugly mood Marshal LeVert is 73 years of age and active as a man of 50; and any attempt to injure him would be resented by the entire town.

Alison assented rather coldly, but her
reluctance vanished when she found Roger
and Anna meant to oppose chem. She
almost ')rgOt her dislike ner partner
during the long, well contested game,
which soon drew a crowd of spectators
round them; her skill and animation de-
lighted Captain Harper. Missile was
watching them rather curiously.
Il did not know Alison was such a good
player" she said at last, when Eva Joined
her. Captain Harper did not exert him
self quite so much when he played with
me- with displeased toss of her head
He knows we are watching him, darl-
ing, and that puts him on his mettle," re-
turned her friend, soothingly.
Really, Eva" Mabel said presently,
Il never saw Anna look so we'll"
Miss Hardwick turned her long neck
superciliously, and regarded her sister
with surprise.
That must be Alison's doing" she said
with evident pleasure. Anna never did
her own hair, l am sure of that" 3ut
her handsome face clouded still more
when Missie proceeded to take her to
task.
You ought to look after her a little
more Eva" said Missie. "You have so
much taste yourself you ought to help her
choose her dresses. l should be ashamed
If my sister looked as dowdy as Anna gen.
orally does"
The rest of the afternoon passed like
happy dream to Anna. She played an
other game with Roger, who seemed bent
on having her for a partner: and after
ward, when Alison had succeeded in shak-
ing off Captain Harper by infusing into
her manner fine degree of girish hau-
teur and cOolness not easily to be mis-
taken, the three sat together, passing
kindly remarks on the rest of the COM
pany.
But the crowning happiness of the af-
ternoon to Anna was when Missile i'd
dressed her in the condescending manner
of one who confers a benefit.
You have not been to see us lately."
she said, quite graciously. II have told
Eva that she must bring you sometimes
to talk to Alison" And after this Annals
cup of joy seemed overAOwing.
