A meeting of the officers and executive committee of the Telephone Subscribers’ Association was held in Room 10, Willard’s Hotel, last right, when the interests of the organization were materially advanced. In- teresting reports were read, among which was the one to the effect that the memor- ial to Congress has received about 000 sig- natures, The treasurer, Mr. Danenhower, reported that the sum of $100 was collected at the mass meeting beld in Willard Hall, which has now increased to $540. There are 300 paid-up members, he stated, with the pros- pects of a good increase. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Danenhower @ grievance ccmmittee. was appointed, as follows: Meesrs. W,.W. Danenhower, W. B. Davis and Dr. H. L. E. Johnson. *This com- nilttee will receive all complaints that pat- rons of the telephone company may have to make, or any information subscribers may furnish the association that will aid the cause. The initiative was taken with regard to securing suitable legislation from Congress when suggestions were offered by the com- mittee, to which the drafting of a bill had been intrusted. Mr. A. A. Birney, chairman of that committee, reported that Speaker Reed had appointed a subcommittee to in- vestigate the telephone situation, and, fur- ther, that the association's representatives weuld be granted a hearing before the House apprepriation committee. Rates for service were suggested, which Congress will be asked to establish, ranging from $30 for three instrun ents on a wire to $50 for one on a wire, ard, if possible, have a penalty for overcharging. = The meeting was Fito ed that circular letters had been prepared and matied to a large number of cities seeking information in_regard to telephone ice.

OTHER ,PLEASANT EVENTS ——_-+ —— With the numerous entertainments in honor of the Daugnters of the Revolution which have marked this week, the presence of the Lentea season has not had any raarked effect in lessening the daylight gay- eties Teas have been especially agrceable the past few days, bringing together a numbr of people who have very decided cpinions on many otner subjects, but are entirely unanimous in their indorsement of any social obsertances where they can shine either as hostess or guest. The en- tertaining has been more general than at any previous congress, and is by no means ever with yet. Mrs. Stevenson was given a landsome reception yesterday at the Was7- ington Club by tne Virginia delegation, to which the entire congress was invited. Mrs. Benjamin Purcell was the hostess and in- troduced the guests and had assisting her Mrs. Willard Wirt Henry, late state regent, and her successor, Mrs. Henry Nelson Page of Norfolk; Mrs. Penn, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, Mrs. James Lyons, Miss Williams, Miss Lewis and Miss Miller. Mrs. McMillan also gave a largely at- tended tea in honor of the members of the natioral board of the D. A. R., the officers, with the state and cilapter regents and del- egates. The splendid home was decked with flowers, and in the dining room, where Miss McMillan and Mrs. Tittmann did the honors, the table was adorned with white roses and very elegant appointments. Re- ceiving with Mrs. McMillan were Mrs. John W. Foster, who is personally known to rearly every delegate to the congress from her brilliant service as one of the presi- dents of the society, and Mrs. Chatard. Among the guests were Mrs. Hobart, Mrs. Alger, Mrs. Hanna, Mrs. Burrows and Mrs. Roylston. Mrs. John Addison Porter was the host- ess of another tea in honor of the dele- gates, ihe members of the. Connecticut Gelegation being the spectal guests. Mrs. Porter was assisted by Mrs. John M. Hol- combe, Mrs. Charles E. Gross and Mrs. William C. Skinner, all of Hartford. ‘The season vent out in a blaze of giory with the Assembly ball Monday night. There .were few noticeable absentees from fash- jorable ranks in the make-up of this bril- liant gathering, and its success was quite as marked as usual and all that its projectors kad anticipeted. Some two or three little incidents occurred which add « piquant dash when one is running over the gossipy details, and which will probably be longer remembered than the joys of the party themselves. The successor of the most absent-minded great man veho has flashed across the sucial horizon in late years came to the ball, and to the surprise, but weli- ecrned, made Fis grand entree to the danc- ing territery without having paid his obeis- ance to the hostess of the evening. Now he did not krow the lines on’ which such large events are conducted in Washington, and not being guided to the sput, did not posely. The settlement of this question wili number of dinners at which this great man will shine as the bright, particular star dur- subject makes very amusing gossip, any- wav. their guests were Miss Alger, Miss Gary, Miss Long, Miss McLanahan, Miss Ashton, Miss Ffoulke, Mr. du Besc, Mr. del Viso, Edhem Be; Baron Riedl ver, Mr. Gana, Mr. Morelos, Mrs. Mac- Bean and the Misses Mendonca.

Serious Results Sometimes Follow tt Excessive Use. “ Common soda is all right in its place and in dispensable in the kitchen and for cooking snd washing purposes, but. it was never intended tor & medicine, and people who use It as such will scmo day regret it. We refer to the common use of soda to reliere heartburn or sour ‘stomach, a habit which thoa sunds of people practice almost daily, and one “hich fs franght with danger; moreover, the soda oniy gives temporary relief and in the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse. ‘The soda acts as a mechanical irritant to the walls of the stomach and bowels and cases are on record where ft accumulated in the intestines causing death by infammation or peritonitis Dr. Harlandson recommends as the safest avd surest cure for sour stoma: ld dyapepsti n excellent preparation sold by druggists under the name. of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. ‘Th tublets are large 20-grain lozenges, very pleasant to taste, and contain the natural acids, peptones and digestive elements essential to good digestion, and when taken after menis they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to fer gent, sour and poison the blood and nervous ys tem. Dr. Woerth states that he invariably uses Stuart's Dyspepsia ‘Tablets tn all cases of stom ach derangements, and finds them a certain cure mt only for sour stomach, but by promptly dl gesting the foed they create a healthy appetite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. ‘They are not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness and will be fonnd reifable in any stomach trou ble except cancer of the stomach.
