BREAK SOCIAL TRADITION.
Secretary Hays Wife and Mrs. RoOsc-
welt to Change Affairs.

A special to the New York Times
from Washington says that Secretary
and Mrs. Hay. the plan being approx
ed by Mrs. Roosevelt proposes to
chance things. In part it saws:
with the announcement that Sec
rotary and Mrs. Hay will give the first
of the cabinet dinners Tuesday, Jan
10, comes formal notice that an instf-
tuition of WASHINGTON official society
will be overturned. This cabinet dim
ner will be different from the cabinet
dinners of scores of years in that the
Secretary of State will be theonly Gao
met officer present. In place of the
members of the cabinet Mrs Hay will
invite a company of guests. large OF.
small, as she may DESIRE to meet the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt This
improvement in official entertaining
was suggested three years ago by Mrs.
Root, wife of the then Secretary OF
War, who held the idea that a cabinet
dinner with identically the same COM
pany from Jan. 1 to Ash Wednesday
was n the nature of things not a great
social relaxation for the guests of
honor and ought to be modified or
abolished"
The idea, so the World says, is
known as Mrs. Roots idea. The list
of guests will have to be submitted
to the President and Mrs. Roosevelt,
but stiff and boring cabinet dinners
will thus be gotten rid off and congen-
ial guests be invited.

ViriIe MethOnism Meets
Wednesday.
CONTINUED From First Page.)

In appearance there is nothing. of
the. ascetic about the Bishop. He is
short, bulky, heavy-jawed and strong
chinned. He is only about five feet
five inches high, but he has the body
and the head of a giant. He looks
the man and the fighter. If it were
not for the broad eXpanse of his
strong mouth, twitching with humor-
Gus corners and ready to open into
the Wilderness of a laugh, and even
more the twinkle of his grey eyes. the
face would be almost cruel looking.
AS it is, it is merely powerful and
manly, with a magnetism all its own.
The Bishops eyes have the change
full quality that is usual with men i'm
whom strength and ability is wed to
humour. AT times they are cold and
penetrating, again they flash till the
grey is like blue fire, again they twin
kle through the glistening water of
inner laughter. The bull neck the
enormous girth, the massive head
make the man when seated appear
giant When he rises to speak the
disappointment in his height lasts only
SO long as one avoids his eyes. 1t is
in his glance that the Bishop makes
his power felt.
Socially the Bishop is one of those
men made to charm. His wit over
flows. In repartee he is inVincible. In
personality congenial, easy and mag
netic. Those who criticize his conduct
of a meeting are captivated outside
the church.
Bishop Chandler was elected about
seven years ago by the conference at
Baltimore. While he takes high rank
as a preacher. it is as an executive
officer and more as man that he is
unsurpassed The conference will be

A Harmonious Gathering.


A Harmonious Gathering.
The indications are that this years
conference will be devoted almost en-
tirely to the important routine work
of the church. There are no special
matters or questions to arise for de-
cision, no new policies to be tried
on" no discussions to be fought out
A meeting of the magnitude of the
conference, however, always has to
dispose of interesting and perplexing
questions. These are sure to arise
this year. There is no probability
that any of the sessions will be
dull"
At present it cannot be said what
increases will be made in charges or
collections. During the past year
there have been many revivals which
have added hundreds to the member
ship. From present indications the
class of new preachers will number
more than twelve The church is in
every way in good condition. The
mem bership is live and enthusiastic
This is shown by the subscriptions to
church papers and by collections,
which have increased generally. About
one in every eleven Methodists take
either the Raleigh or the Western Ad-
vocate The two papers have thirteen
eight and the Western over five. The
church paper is the index of interest
as is party paper. In this respect
Methodists are ahead of all other de-
nominations
Under the "four-year rule Raleigh
will lose one of her most popular
preachers Rev. Marvin Culbreth, of
Epworth. Some place yet unknown is
fortunate to a degree. There is not a
hriOhtar moro earnest a m ore whole
some young preacher in the confer
ence than the man EpwOrth must
give up. Wherever Mr.. Culbreth may
go he will carry with him the affection
and esteem of all Raleigh people. His
work here has been that of the ideal
Christian, unassuming, helpful and
of a cheerfulness that it has glad
dened hearts to feel and eyes to look
upon.
There will probably Re no other
changes in Raleigh. Dr. r. F. Bumpas
will almost certainly return to Eden
ton Street, DR.. T. A. Bishop to the
Central. and Rev. S. L. Seabolt to the
Brooklyn church.
These gentlemen, of course with DR..
W. H. Moore, the District Presiding
Elder will all attend conference, as
will also DR.. T. \. Ivey, editor of the
Advocate, Rev. J. w. Jenkins, super
K. II. Whitaker. who are clergy with
out charges. As usual many lay mem
bers will also attend from Raleigh.

SELEClED YEARS AGO.
Few Knew About it Until City Brought
 ton0emnasion rrocesoines.

Everybody is talking sewage dis posal Io-uay ana one wouiu think that the whole snarl was stralgnteneu out ana the plant ill operation. W niie the public is very mucn interested Ill this matter it has a special interest for property owners in that part Of the town west of South AIaln street and east of the railroad tracks where it is proposed to construct tue sewage disposal plant. Although this was practically decided upon tor this busi- ness nine years ago few knew any, thing about it until the matter came up ill the courts Tuesday, when the city took steps to bring condemnation proceedings to acquire land belonging to the Upsons, Haydens, Bancrorts and a few others, including about fifty acres in all. The objection raised by some that the place is too near the city is met by the statement that no offensive odor will arise from the plant, and besides it is evident that in time some system of sewage disposal will be devised which will do away with the most approved plans of to-day and thus bring about condi- tfon of things which will enable the city to abandon the site in question. But it would be well to bear in mind that is nothing more than mere con- lecture and it would be safe to wager that if the plant should be established there no man now living will see 1t done away with. The system to be used by the city will be a combination of filtration and chemical precipitation and from sanitary standpoint is the best known to modern times. The To- cation is considered the best avail able in Waterbury. The city could purchase property further down the road, but from a business standpoint it would not pay to tunnel as far as Beacon Falls and then commence to purchase land there. The sewage can be conveyed to the property which the city has. in mind at a modest outlay and there is no reason why the whole tract cannot be acquired at price which Will not use up a large amount Of the funds available for that purpose. The seW- age of the city is ill the river along side the road at the present time ana nobody hears much about it, ana the fact that it is going to be removed fir m u e river, taken into scrub land and disposed of in such a way that it will no longer be public nuisance ought to be welcome news to every body, and it would be were it not for the cost not only of the land and the plant, but the annual outlay for main tenance. But it seems there is no way out of it. The. attitude of the Platt Mill people forced the city to ind some other method of. sewage disposal than emutving into the Naugatuck river and after running closei chances of going to jail for contempt of court for not compIying with the order which went into effect last year, the officials have finally got move on them.

CONSUMED FOR MAN.
 UFACTURING PURPOSES

Commissioner Wade of the depart ment of public works told J. -OIin Howe yesterday afternoon that it would he hard to tell whether he ought to call himself unfortunate for having to pay for water at meter rates now or say that he was fortu- natein not having to do so long ago. and added that the installation of meters was the only ting that would save the. city from building reservoirs. Everybody was expecting that Mir Howe world strike back about the in- equality of water rates. but he didn't. 1t would have been interesting if Mir Howe had told the commissioner what everybody knows t0 be trl,e. that the trouble over the water question is not dne to the quantities used for fire and domestic use, but rather to the vast consumption in the manufacturing concerns. q purpose thot never was thought nf when the system was pro- iected To he sure this may be good thing. but in any case there is no use beating arornd the bush abont a matter of this kind. and even at the risk of losing his case it looked as if MT Howe should have said so and take his chances.

USE OF ANTI-TOXINE.
Would be Good Idsa for City to Have
 Remedy on Hand.

Talking about the use of anti-toxine, physician says that It would be an act of charity for the city to have u fund for this purpose which could be drawn upon for families that are not able to buy it when their children are stricken with diphtheria. He saie there are lots of people who never go to the town for anything that cannot afford to furnish anti-toxine, and as q result many of them lose their chill dren. It is nothing that the doctors make anything out of, for people have to buy it themselves, and as it comes high the ordinary run of citizens have to get along without it and take their chances. Once in q while the attend ing physician, in order to save a hu- man life, supplies the article at his own expense, but such cases are very rare. Why wouldn't it be good plan to Iop a few hundred dollars off some thing that can stand it and apply it to an anti-toxine fund for the benefit of children who happen to be victims of that awful malady. diphtheria. ana whose parents are too poor to provide proper treatment for them?
