7XIASHINGTON-The annual ma
w tional convention of women SUI
fragists, which will be held in Wash
ington the week of April IA, will be
the most notable gathering of it's 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 OF 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.

Monk Chases Longworth Dinner Guests

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 protec-
ton and at the same time capture the
beast
The monkey eluded the brave hunt
ers with ease. 1t sprang from the
chandelier to the sideboard, ran
around the room three or four times,
while the women and some of the
men went rapidly out of the nearest
doors. Then it vaulted into the plate
rail, where it did few stunts to the
damage of much bric-a-brac. Finally
it intrenched itself behind a jardiniere,
where eventually it was captured.
When the monkey was restored to
it's 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 homeltke
monkey nests. Cotton and soft grass
were produced, and Mrs. Cochran pro-
ceeded to rearrange the monkeys
home.
The beasts did not appreciate her ef-
forts, however, and one of them bit
her thumb. A physician examined the
wound and said there would be no
dangerous consequences.

IF COL. ROOSEVELT is having any
i more thrilling adventures in Africa
than 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 monkey hunt at the Long
worths that left the company duly i'm
pressed with the terrors of the Jungle
It 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
