IF COL. ROOSEVELT is having any
] more thrilling adventures in Africa
than a number of distinguished per
sons had in the dining room of his
daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, in
Washington, they think he owes it to
his family to come home at once.
According to the tidings brought to
the front by the society reporters,
there was a monkey hunt at the Long
worths that left the company duly i'm
pressed with the terrors of the jungle
1t appears that Representative and
Mrs. Longworth were giving a dinner
in honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt of New York. Along toward
the close of the dinner the talk drift
ed to animals, and Mrs. Longworth de-
scribed two pet monkeys she recently
acquired. The guests expressed a
desire to see the animals and Mrs.
Longworth had the cage carried into
the dining room.
In some way the door of the cage
became unfastened and one of the
monkeys escaped. 1t leaped to the
center of the table, and, turning a
handspring, climbed to the chandelier,
where it hung by its tail and chat

VYIASHINGTON.-T annual ma
W tional convention of women suf-
fragists, which will be held in Wash
ington the week of April Il, will be
the most notable gathering of its kind
in point of numbers and personnel that
ever has taken place IN this country.
Never before have women of such
wealth and social position journeyed
to the national capitol to press their
cause. Their presence will be cele-
brated by Washington society with a
round Oh social functions. Many of
the society delegates will wear their
most fetching toilettes to the conven-
ton and they hope to convert many
statesmen by showing them that it is
not only the masculine type of women
who wants the ballot.
There is another and more potent
reason for the fair suffragists wearing
their most elaborate costumes. For
the first time the women delegates will
appear in person before the senate.
They will present to the upper house
of congress the giant petition for
which names have been gathered for
several years from every state in the
union. The petition praying for uni
versal suffrage contains more than
100000 names.

tered at the company. The women
shrieked> and scrambled to their chairs,
while the men fell over each other in
trying to evolve masures of pIotec-
ton and at the same time capture the
beast.
The monkey eluded the brave lhnt-
ers with ease. 1t sprang from the
chandelier to the sideboard, ran
around the room three or four tines,
while the women and some of the
men went rapidly out of the neal est
doors. Then it vaulted into the plate
rail, where it did few stunts to fhe
damage of much bric-a-brac. Finally
it intrenched itself behind jardiniere,
where eventually 1t was captured
When the monkey was restored to
its cage and quiet had settled down
over the dinner once more, Mrs. Bourke
Cochran. who is visiting Gen and Mrs.
Clarence Edwards, expressed the opin-
ion that there was something wrong
with the construction of the nest pro-
vided for Mrs. Longworth's pets.
She had been in the Philippines and
she thought she knew something
about the building of homelike
monkey nests. Cotton and soft grass
were produced, and Mrs. Cochran pro-
ceeded to rearrange the monkeys
home.
The beasts did not appreciate her eff
forts, however, and one of them bit
her thumb. A physician examined the
wound and said there would be no
dangerous consequences.

Lyon looked over the pay roll of
employees at the federal building at

H. P. Belmont will be one of the rep

ity association.
Many suffragists in New York have
become greatly exercised over the re-
cent meeting held by Mrs. Belmont at
the Mount Olivet Baptist church, at
which she took many negro women
into her organization. 1t has caused
many to speculate as to the possibility
OF enfranchising the negro women Of
the southern states. Many letters have
been exchanged during the past week
between the New York women and the
suffragist workers in the south dis
cussing the manner in which the col
ored women's vote can be eliminated
If we get the vote"
Yes" said Mrs. Ida Hustled Harper,
1T is true that the southern women
wish to bar the colored woman from
voting But as the national associa-
ton stands for universal suffrage at
all times and in all places. we cannot
countenanca this action of the south
ern women. The southern states that
belong to the national association are
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana. Missis-
sissippi, Missouri, Maryland and Ten
nessee."
Mrs. Belmont gave out the following
statement regarding her stand on the
matter:
Il do not consider the suffrage ques-
ton a social question in any sense CT
the word 1t is purely political ques-
ton and must only be considered as
such. The matter of political equal
ity has no connection with social equal
ity. l think each state has the right
to settle this matter for itself"
