It will be remembered by the readers of TRE Stax that some three or four weeks ago Senator Mahone’s body servant, Jolin, laid in watch and caught one of the bell-boys at the Arlington hotel purioining from the Senator's room some of his choice whiskey, a present to the Senator from | an appreciative friend in Pennsylvania.

"Recently there was developed a iudi- crous sequel to the detection of the theft of the Senator's whiskey, and a STAR reporter worked up the following facts 1n connection therewith: It appears that one evening last week several friends, all prominent in the affairs of the republic, gathered In a room at the Arlington hotel to in- | luige in the social amusement of « game of cards— | the innocent game of pedro, probubly: yet. posst- bly, it may have been the seductive and tascluating pastime of draw poker. ‘The hours passed pleasantly and an appetizing | lunch of salad and sanawiches, accompanied by | several bottles of lager, was served a little after 11 o'clock.

The four veterans itely resumed their seats and announced that they would play off one Jack-pot—whatever that means—take another ‘“night-cap” and go home to pleasant slumbers.
