Monday At Salem.

Salem Mass. Jan. 3.-On Monday
next. the supreme court will give a
hearing on the bill of exceptions drawn
up by counsel for John c. Best, the
Saugus man, who was found guilty Of
murder in the first degree by an Essex
county jury.
Much interest still centers in this
celebrated case on account of the ma
ture Of the crime, which was the kill
ing Of George E. Bailey at the Break
heart Hill farm In Saugus. on the
night of Oct 8. 1900. and the finding of
his mutilated body in Floating Bridge
pond some eight days later.
The evidence was to certain extent
circumstantial. but was sufficient for
the jury to find verdict of murder in
the first degree against Best. Sentence
was delayed on account Of the excep-
tions.
The arguments for Best will be made
by James H. Sisk and d. A. Clarke.
while those for the commonwealth will
be made by District Attorney Peters.
although this is not so certain. as the
incoming attorney. Herbert Parker.
may be counsel for the commonwealth.

which was the gayest social event of
the decade.
Tonight's entertainment was given
p, rs,pal rather than an official char
acter by Mrs Roosevelt, whose wish
was that Miss Roosevelt should make
her debut much as though il had taken
place in her own private home rather
than in the White House. There was
no cotillion and consequently there
We're no favors.

interior of the White House was most

Miss Helen Roosevelt, Il cousin of the
President and who also was of the i'm
mediate party of the hostess. wore
white chiffon with white satin ribbon
and Miss Cutting. white lace trimmed
with tulle, with pink roses. Miss
Roosevelt was the recipient of many
floral pieces OF beautiful design sent to
her in honor of her coming OUT day.
The President enjoyed the occasion
heartily and mingled freely among the
young folks.
The dancing, which began shortly
after 10 O'Clock and included program
OF 20 numbers. was held in the large
East room. The large number of dances
kept the company until after mid
night. The Marine Band and the Ar
tillery Corps Band from Washington
barracks alternated in furnishing the
music. During an intermission a buff
fet lunch was served in the state din
ing room.
The company which gathered to do
honor to the daughter of the Chief Ex-
Acutive was a thoroughly representa-
tive one of Washington society and
also included a generous contingent of
gentlemen from Harvard, Yale and
Princeton Universities and other soci-
ETY. folk from out of town
