MS AMAZE SOCIETY PRESIDENT AND WIFE SERVE REFRESHMENTS AT EVENT. Radical Change In White House En tertainment Is First In Many Administrations. WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 The first and probably the most brilliant of the formal state receptions planned for the present White House season was given last night by President and Mrs. Taft, in honor of the diplomatic corps. About lo00 guests were invited. Mrs. Taft was present throughout the evening. This reception marked a radical change in the manner of conducting the great state affairs at the White House and for the first time in many administrations, refreshments were served. The "blue room circle," which flourished during the Roosevelt Ad ministrations, when a selected coterie of social friends were invited, was en tirely eliminated. The number of Invitations Issued to each of the big receptions has been materially reduced by Mrs. Taft, whose Idea is said to be that every guest present should feel himself or herself the personal guest of the President and his wife, and all should be treated alike. In the receiving line were Vice-President and Mrs. Sherman, the members of the Cabinet and the women of their households." The refreshments, served in the state dining-room. consisted of creamed oysters, salads, ices and champagne punch. Rider Wears Daring Habit. New York Press. Eleanor Sears caused a stir when she first appeared in riding trousers and a frock coat for her daily spins on horse back, but she soon found a follower in Jennie Clocker, and now Helen Chese borough has taken a step further in the revolt of women against petticoat rule. Helen is the younger of two daughters of Arthur Cheseborough, and is known as One of the best and prob ably quite the most daring rider in her set. But where Miss Sears deferred to convention to the extent of wear ing her frock coat so long that it only left part of her riding boots visible to the eye. Miss Cheseborough has dis carded the coat altogether. Her knick erbockers are cut much after the style of a man's ordinary riding breeches, ex cept they are much fuller at the knee, and she shows a preference for riding boots rather than gaiters; but for the rest of her costume she considers an ordinary shirt waist most suitable, and the air of comfort and ease with which she walks and rides arouses so much envy among her friends that shirt waists and knickers soon may come to be accepted as the "proper thing" for a girl's morning ride In the park. JUDGE IS OPPOSED George Advrse to Constitu tion Tinkering. REPUBLICAN CLUB TALKS Members Believe Selection of Dele gates hy Direct Primary Would Exclude Men Most Able to Revise State Basic Lair. Being detained at Salem, Jay Bow erman. State Senator from Gilliam County, Tuesday night was not able to appear before the Republican Club of this city and present his views on the proposed constitutional convention, which was the subject for discussion. The meeting, however, resolved itself into a debating society, and the ad visability of holding such a conven tion at this time was discussed at con siderable length. The sentiment of a najorlty of the speakers was strongly against such a gathering. In presenting the subject. Judge M. C. George, president of the club, remarked that the convention which was proposed was a matter of great est Importance to the state and its in terests. He questioned if the people were prepared to pass on the subject in view of their "unstable whims and caprices," politically speaking. Primaries Select Delegates. Judge George also reminded his auditors that, should the voters of the state decide to hold such a convention, the delegates thereto, 60 in number, would have to be selected under the provisions of the direct primary law, and therois more than a serious ques tion, said he, "if through the opera tion of that law the best and most capable men will be selected for the important duty of revising the funda mental law of the state." Circuit x Judge Morrow objected to the proposed convention because of the limitations that were Imposed in the election of the delegates. He referred to the fact that the delegates were re quired to possess the qualifications of the members of the House of Repre sentatives. Officeholders Are Excluded. At the same time there was excluded from membership in the convention , any man holding a public office. He said this was a great weakness in view of the fact that such an important conven tion should be composed of the most able men in the state, regardless of the fact of whether or not they were officehold ers. Rather than to hold a convention composed of men of inferior capacity, the speaker argued that it would be better to dispense with the proposed convention altogether. . Among the speakers to address the meeting were: J. r. Lee, A. J. Fanno, William DeVeny and L. D. Mahone. The officers of this club recently ap pointed F. S. Alkus as its representa tive in the Nineteenth precinct.

BAD BILLS FLOOD CHICAGO Secret Service Men Seek Gang of Ex pert Counterfeiters. CHICAGO, Jan. 5. (Special.) Govern ment Secret Service men under command of Captain Thomas I. Porter are seeking counterfeiters who have been flooding' Chicago with spurious $1 bills for two weeks. It is believed that the counter feiting "plant" Is located in the city. Hundreds of the bills were passed in the loop district during the rush of Christ mas shopping. Samples of the counter feits have been sent to Chief Wilkie of the Secret Service Department at Wash ington. It Is the belief of the authorities that the money is being made by a band of experienced counterfeiters somewhere on the lower West Side. Investigation has failed to disclose that the bills have circulated outside of Chi cago. This fact leads officials to believe the work of making them was begun recently. The counterfeit is so well made that experts have had difficulty in dis covering Its defects. Boy Applies the Scriptures. Philadelphia Times. A teacher in a downtown Sunday school was so proud of her flock that she invited several visiting ministers and elders to attend one of her classes and be encouraged and u&UXted by the observation of juvenile proficiency in Scriptural studies. The session opened auspiciously. Little girls with yellow plaits and lit tle girls with black braids lisped their responses in a manner to gladden the heart of any teacher of "young ideas." Then came the fall which invariably follows pride. Turning to a bullet-headed, freckle faced little boy. whose ears seemed about to carry off his bead like an aeroplane, she asked him to repeat a verse from the Scripture, but her only answer was a vacant stare. "Come, come." said the teacher, "do you mean to tell me that you can't re peat even one verse?" "Maw," replied the small boy, "I know one." "Well. then, let me have It." said the teacher, sharply. "And Judas went out and hanged himself," repeated the young unregen erate. His teacher's Hps wreathed them selves in a cynical smile as she said, "Very good, and can you gixe me an other?" The boy nodded vigorouslv. "Sure," he replied. "Let me have It, then," responded his teacher in her softest, purring tones. To her consternation the little repro bate said, "Go thou and do likewise." He enjoyed a holiday the rest of that afternoon. GIRL ANDJHAN HIDING POLICE AID DESERTED WIFE TO SEARCH GOTHAM. Waiter Husband Elopes With 16-Year-Old Girl Who Is Heiress to 910,000,000.

After an investigation of the story told by Mrs. Cohen to Inspector McCafferty. the "New York police became satisfied that her husband and the young woman are in hiding together, the same belief which is held by the police of Philadel phia. That the two have been in this city within the last three days was estab lished almost beyond doubt after McCaf ferty had assigned men to the case. . The proprietors at two furnished apartment houses in the heart of the city declared that a couple answering in every detail the descriptions of Miss De Janon and Cohen had applied to them for rooms. Mrs. Cohen s "Visit to police headquar ters today seemed to set at fault theories advanced In Philadelphia that she knew more about the disappearance of the granddaughter of Robert Buist than she was willing to tell.

Lengge, of Munich, Ger many, who Is making a tour of Amer ican hospitals, and is at the New Wil lard, said: "There is perhaps no country in the world where workmen are so protected by the state or are so cared for as in Germany. Even clerks, shop assistants, and servants are compelled to Insure. This insurance is effected by pasting into a book certain stamps every week, and it is the duty of every employer to see that this is faithfully done. There are three insurances for work- Rheumatism is in reality an internal inflammation ; a diseased condi tion of the blood cells which supply the nourishment and strength necessary to sustain, our bodies. The disease is caused by an excess of uric acid in the blood, -which comes from indigestion, weak kidneys, constipation, and other irregularities of the system. This urio acid produces an inflamed and acrid condition of the blood, and the circulation, instead of nourishing the different portions of the body, continually deposits into the muscles, nerves, joints and bonesv the irritating and pain-producing acid with which it is filled. Then follow the painful and torturing symptoms of Rheumatism. We do not claim for S. S. S. that it is anything more than a first class blood purifier, and that is just what is needed to cure Rheumatism. S. S. S..goes into the circulation, and by neutralizing the urio acid and driving it from the blood, effectually and surely removes the cause of Rheumatism. S.S.S. strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, causing pain and agony throughout the system, it becomes an. invigorating, nourishing fluid, furnishing health and vigor to every portion of the body, and permanently relieving the suffering caused by Rheumatism. S.S.S. is purely vegetable and will not injure the most delicate system. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free to all who write. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA.
