MISS RANKIN SETS STYLE.
Republicans and Some Democrats
Wear Red Rose BOutOnnieres.

Washington, D. c., April Bout
onnieres of blood red roses have be-
,comc the prevailing style of the Re-
s sn5sSsh lican side of the House of Rep
s3SsSsentatives since Miss Jeanette
: IA nkin became a member. The sec
- X; dav of Miss Rankin's member
Sin found Republicans adorned IN
a fashion that indicated: a rare pro-
sesTTessiveness of mind. Even the
most confirmed stand-patters have
welded to the impulse, to adorn
themselves. The flowers prove I'M
:mficnscly effective by enhancing the
General appearance of the Republl-
cans.
Miss Rankin, who yesterday car
ried yellow roses, today held in her
hand throughout the session long
stemmed pink rose, which she play
ed with while taking House busl-
ness and greeting new acquaIntan-
ces. No other new member OF
Congress ever got acquainted SO
quickly.
+, Miss Rankin has been so busy that
sho has not visited her office but
three times since reaching Wash
ington. The first two times were
Sunday afternoon and night. She
was there, yesterday, a few minutes
before Congress met, but was un-
able TO return until late this after
noon.
Her Office has been rearranged by
the erection of a veritable barricade
between the front door and her
deck. Desks and bookcases, were
utilized for this purpose. The Con-
gresswoman now can have privacy
while visitors wait in Il small .ante-
room.
No member Of Congress was ever
besieged for photographs by people
in every section of the country rs
Miss Rankin has been the. past two
days. Every mail brings in new re-
quests for a picture with sigma
ture. The high cost of popularity
is in evidence. Miss Rankin will try
to supply every demand for photo
graphs.

MUST FURNISH 1900.

Virginia's Proportion, Based on Pop
ulation, is One-Fifth of National
Call. =.
Virginia will be called upon to
furnish $4,000 men Immediately in
event that Congress approves the
program outlined by President Will
son last night in his address before
that body. This means that $4,000
Young men must rally to the colors,
in addition to those already in the
National Guard Of Virginia, which,
however, is 10000 men short of war
strength.
Just how these men will be called
into the service has not been indi-
Gated. The War Department. it is
presumed, will order all guard units
brought up to full war strength,
which is about double the present
strength. The department would then
indicate just what units of the SER
vice it would want organized.
Virginia's quota is approximately
one-fiftieth Of the total of any force
called out. If the President is given
authority to raise an army Of 100000
