CONSPIRACY is DENIED.
Witnesses Testify That Miss Bisgar
and Bennett Were Married.

Freehold, N. j., Dec. 19.-Mrs. Mary
Roche was the first witness yesterday
in the trial of Laura Biggar, DR.. Charles
G. Hendricks and Samuel Stanton for
alleged conspiracy to get the estate OF
Henry M. Bennett. Mrs. Roche form
erly kept house for Mr. Bennett in New
York and she said that in 1900 he told
her he would occupy one of the flats in
his apartments in Seventh-second
street with his wife.
The witness said later that Miss Big
gar showed her certificate of marriage
with Mr.. Bennett. An unsuccessful
effort was made to shake DR.. Conley's
testimony that he was present when a
male child was born to Miss Biggar at
DR.. Hendricks sanitarium. He said
that Mr.. Bennett and Miss Biggar had
stopped in a hotel in Mt. Clements.
Mich, in December. 1900, and that Mr..
Bennett had registered as man and wife.
The register was produced ana the
state recognized the signature. In June,
1901, Bennett introduced Miss Biggar to
him as Mrs. Bennett.
Samuel Stanton, former justice of the
peace and one of the defendants, tes-
titled that he married Mr.. Bennett and
Miss Biggar at his home in Hoboken,
Biggar q marriage certificate, which
later she said she had lost. The wit
ness said she asked him for another,
and then he gave his story of the effort
to record the certificate.

year tho the disease never reaches such
The disease is confined entirely to the
Chinese, Japanese and in a few cases to
Hawaiians, and not white man has
been affected by plague for years in
Hawaii. This is due to the fact that
the disease spreads only when proper
precautions are not taken, generally in
the filth and uncleanliness of the races
so overcome. The health authorities
are unusually rigid in their treatment
of the bubonic plague, and all incoming
vessels from oriental ports are closely
watched and placed in quarantine until
the examination is completed. On this
account it has been the opinion of the
medical men here that the disease
germs did not come to Honolulu thru
infected steamers or oriental passen-
gers. Only recently, however, has been
the true cause of infection laid bare A
number of japanese on nearby pianta-
tons We're taken with the plague, and
died in their hospital in Honolulu. An
examination of their effects was made,
but no trace of the germ was discov-
cred until thorough tests had been
made of some of the japanese groceries
found in the house. These foods under
the microscope showed a trace of the
plague germs, and further eXamina-
tons made of oriental stuffs showed
that the diagnosis was correct. 1t was
learned also the food stuffs had been
imported at San Francisco and re-
shipped to Honolulu. this being the
only way possible for the goods to
have come here. An effort was made
to secure the cooperation of the Unit
ed States quarantine officials to pre-
vent the further entry of disease car
ryfng foods, but it was found that the
law made no provision for the examin-
alton of merchandise shipped from one
port in the United States to another As
the territorial laws are also silent on this
point, the health authorities are at a i
loss to prevent the shipment from San
Francisco of these goods or to bring
about their contscation upon arrival in
Honolulu. So far there has not been
much spread of the disease and the au-
thorities are hopeful that the plague |
may be finally stamped out In the ter
ritory. In the last few months there
has been one or two deaths and the I
cases have been entirely sporadic in +
their nature. For sea port city Hon.
olulu is unusually healthful, tho the
watchfulness to prevent dis I
ease is source of great expense to the
government which is borne also In part |
by private subscriptions from the
planters and merchants Of the CITY.

Cabinet
MANY CHANGES IN MANSION
General Effect of Lower Portion Of
House Is White, in Keeping With the
Outside, and With the Name of the
Mansion-Many Senators, Represent.
atives and Other Guests Present.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt gave dinner at the
white house last night in honor of the
cabinet, to which a large number of
senators and representatives and other
guests also were invited. 1t was the
| first formal evening function at the
white house since it's remodeling and
gave the visitors an opportunity to
view the many changes which have
been made in the interior of the man
sion.
| The table was set in the new state
dining room, which has been consider
ably enlarged, thus obyiating the nee
the east room, to which resort was
made during the last season. The room
has been finished in English oak. The
table was set in the form of a semi
circle and the decorations Were mainly
red and white roses.
The guests found many changes had
been made in the interior Of the house
,
ject of interest was the east room,
which has been finished in white en-.
ameled woodwork, with corinthian
pilasters and panels, the windows being
draped with curtains of subdued yell
low. The old chandeliers have been
removed and in their place are others
designed in the form of a cascade of
crystal in loops and festoons of cut
glass. each chandelier being composed
of 1000 pieces.
In the corners of the room are gold
en- stands surrounding which are
clusters of Roman electric lights, while
the old-fashioned mantelpieces have
been supplanted by others of var-
colored marble The red, blue and
green parlors also have undergone a
complete renovation and make a rich
showing jim their respective colors. Each
room has been supplied with new fur
nitare of exquisite workmanship.
The main feature of alteration no.
ticed as one enters the house is the
removal of the staircase partition
which separated the vestibuie from the
long red corridor back of it, thus max
ing the whole one large open space
and giving a free space for moving
and accommodating the large crowds
which attend the evening receptions
Clusters OF Roman lights on golden
stands also adorn this portion of the
house. The old mirrors in the vesti
bule have been removed and larger
ones reaching almost to the ceiling
have been put in their places.
The general effect of the lower por-
ffOn of the house with tho
Of the state dining room and the sew
eral parlors is white, conforming to
the outside appearance of the house |
and in keeping with the name of the
itself.

How to Prevent croun.

It will be good news to the mothers
of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group Is hoarseness. A day or two be-
fore the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by pc
culiar rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms Of Group. In this
way all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothers and has never
been known to fail. 1t is, in fact the
only remedy that can always be de-
pended upon and that is pleasant and
safe to take For sale by all druggists.
