WIFE OF PRESIDENT
 IS A SOCIAL AUTOCRAT
Mrs. Roosevelt Has Put Root Silver Candelabra Out Of Business "Cabinet' Session to Dis
 cuSS Social Functions.

silver candelabra. celebrated locally, out of commission when the President dimes with the Secretary of War.
 Consequently all those who invite the President and Mrs. Roosevelt must use low, flat floral adornments. The Presi- dent does not like many guests, 70 the Cabinet people have only one or two ex- tra guests in addition to their own set
 The list of the guests for a Cabinet dinner must be submitted to Mrs. Roose- welt before the invitations are sent.
 There is some dissatisfaction in the Congressional contingent because the President and his wife entertain local society people to the exclusion of the official set. Senators and Representa- tives have been refused cards to the evening receptions which they wished for visiting constituents, when half Nof Washington was invited. Mrs. Rocse- welt has exhibited the utmost independ- ence in selecting her guests.
 To her informal teas and receptions she has asked her friends and those whom she considered entitled to such courtesy. She has emphatically replied to all critics that on this point she would accept no suggestions. Requests for in> vitations to these informal functions are usually unnoticed.
 Mrs. Roosevelt during her former resi- dence made many friends. and these are still her intimates, much to the disap- pointment of some matrons in the official set who would like to be the power be- hind the throne.

Washington Special to N. r. World.
 Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt Is in every sense the mistress of the White House. Her incumbency has been marked by . desire to fulfill her whole duty and in- clination to urge others not to be remiss.
 She is a strict disciplinarian. and she does not allow weil-known rules to be transgressed. She remains at home every Tuesday morning in order that she may confer with the Cabinet ladies and dis cuss plans for the week. She wishes every Cabinet hostess to attend these meetings. and she will promptly inquire about an absentee. On Tuesday morn- ings every detail in social life Is dis cussed. Mrs. Roosevelt gives her views concisely and decidedly.
 In matters of apparel she has her pref men to follow her suggestions. She Is partial to white, and for this reason does not like to see her aids a6 official recep- tions garbed sombrely. One Cabinet wo- man Is in despair because her best gown is of black thread lace costing $75o, and Mrs. Roosevelt especially dislikes black for evening wear. She has told the Cab inet women not to wear black.
 Another point which Mrs. Roosevelt insists on is the style of decorations at the state and Cabinet dinners. The President, she has explained. does not like high table ornaments or flowers banked pyramid fashion, because 1t ob- structs the view. This puts the Root

A New Musical Comedy.

Where the Laugh Comes In is queer title for a play, but 1t is said to be well named. It is a comedy adaptation from F. Austey's funny story, "Vice Versa :" The play will be presented at Mcdonald s Theatre Wednesday matinee and night by company headed by Kettle Bernard Chase, a chic soubrette. who is not un- known to Montgomery theatre-goers.
 Of the play and the company The To- ledo (Ohio) Times said:
 There is abundant opportunity for laughter, and the entire production is bright with music and song. Specialties abound and no moment is allowed to lag. The plot hinges on the wonderful trans formation powers of an Indian talisman. Through it's magic stern father is trans formed into schoolboy, and suffers the torments to which he had consigned his son at boarding school. The son is trans formed into the fathers former position and enjoys the former parents difficult ties and trials. There are a number of other amusing transformations, all lend ing themselves to laughing absurdity. Everywhere the laugh comes in. Impos- stble as the theme is, the idea is well carried out, and three acts are filled to oVerfiowing with it's merriment. The company is a large one and we'll chosen w. T. Bryant and Tom Ripley figure as the father and son respectively. Kettle Bernard Chase is cast as a twentieth century gird to good advantage and con- tributes incidentally number of bright specialties. Every member of the com pany seems to have been chosen with a view to speciality production, and the result is gratifyinE"

 "A procession came up the street one morning. making terrible din and the most unmusical music ever heard. Sev- eral small boys were in front dressed in red and carrying golden banners. Next came four bearers holding between them in which were two geese, as quiet and unconcerned as if they had been lovers always. Third in line was a roast pig. It had been cooked whole and the ears were followed close behind swinging from a pole. Then, last, came two sedan chairs closely curtained so that none could see the occupants.

A PLUoKY MAN.
Marries Widow of His Two Brothers
 Twice Bereft by Assassination

Omaha Special to New York World.
 When Mrs. Jane Segur Haas of Cortez. Montezuma County. Neb. married Honey Haas of Mount Gilead, O., she will have married each of three brothers of the Haas family and shown degree of pluck not often equalled.
 Both of Mrs. Haas's first two husbands were killed by an assassin's shot from ambush; and the third one will come under the ban of the evil power which is held responsible for making her twice a widow.
 Thirty years ago William Haas was a prosperous young. merchant of Mount Gilead, O., when he decided to go West and become rich. He went to Cortez at a time, when civilization was not even skin deep and set up a trading house which soon promised to yield him the wealth he coveted.
 The belle of Cortez was Jane segur, tall. blackhaired and beautiful. Two brothers by name of Siegel. among the toughest of the rough men of Cortez. were open suitors for her hand, and vowed to kill any man who married her. To the amazement of the entire country the belle fell in love with the storekeep- CT.
 Their wedding day was set. Then the Siegel brothers went to see Haas at his store. Haas listened in patience a while then shot one of the Sieuel brothers dead and that afternoon married the girl oi his choice.
 fOr IL LlIne f1ddS was LuS ndppIeSt LudI in Nebraska. One night he was shot through the heart with Winchester bull let. The younger Siegel. the only man of the family living. was suspected. but he asked the leading men of the village to state publicly that they did not be- lieve he murdered Haas. They obeyed. Siegel was the best shot in Cortez.
 When John Haas went to Cortez from Mount Gilead to settle up his brother S business affairs he fell in love with his brothers widow. still young and hsauti- ful. and married her. Within six months he. too. was shot from ambush and kill ed. The murderer was not apprehended. and Henry Haas, the third brother of the family. went out to Cortez to console the twice widowed woman and assist her in selling out her property.
 While he was there the last of the Haases fell a victim to the widow of his two brothers. and they are to be married within two weeks. Haas and his intended bride say they will take chances in the feud.

Chambers's Journal.
 A well-knoWn manufacturer of musical instruments in Germany-Max Freyer- has introduced a process for making vic lins from clay. These fiddles are of the ordinary pattern. but are cast in molds, so that each instrument is an exact coun- terpart of it's fellow. It is said-but it is somewhat hard to believe-that the DOT celain body acts as a better resonator than one of wood. and that the tone of the instrument is therefore singularly pure and full. The same inventor is also making mandolins of china clay, and 1t seems that they are much appreciated In Southern countries where this instrument is regarded more seriously than it' is in Britain. The obvious disadvantage of a musical instrument being made of china clay Is the brittleness of that material as well as It's weight. but both these draw backs seem to haEs been forgotten. For
