Members OF New York Fashionable
Set Moving Out.

New York, Jan 6.-Comparison Of
a social register of 1888 with that Of
1905 which has just appeared, indi-
Gates the gradual abandonment of the
private homes on Manhattan Island
In 1855, 50 per cent of the families
in the register lived practically under
their own roofs; now only 9 per cent
do so. This population has not been
even largely absorbed by apartments
or hotels, but the bulk has taken up
with country life and is to be found
in the fashionable suburban towns in
Long Island, Westchester county, New
Jersey, Tuxedo and some of the winter
resorts. such as Aiken, and one-quart-
er of the number live permanently
abroad with an occasional visit to their
own country.

case as being hopeless one. The ambu-
lance from the Emergency Hospital reached
the drug store In a short time, and DIR.

this perfectly. They partly digest what Is eaten
and give the stomach Just the help Ii needs. They
stimulate the secretion and excreton Of the d.

OF the glands and membranes. They put the
whole digestive system in condition to do its work
When that is done you need take more tablets

SEVENTY VARIET [ Els
BEAUTIFUL ARRAY OF CHRYSAN-
THEMUMs EXHIBITED.

The chrysanthemum show in the green
houses adjoining the bureau of printing
and engraving corner of 14th and streets
southwest, conducted under the direction
of Col c. s. Bromwell superintendent OF
public buildings and grounds, opened at
o'clock this morning. All day crowds OF
people have been visiting the greenhouses
and admiring the collection OF seventy
beautiful varieties of this gorgeous mower
The show, 1t is said. far surpasses that OF
previous years, both as to the number Oh
varieties exhibited and the coloring of the
individual specimens.
These flowers have been grown under the
direct supervision of G.. H. Brown, land.
scape gardener, and he is largely respon-
sibe for the production of many of the
new varieties. In all there are 900 plants
on exhibition. The exhibition Will continue
throughout the week, closing Sunday even
ing.
Department Show.
Hundreds of persons continue to pour every
hour into the greenhouses at the southeast
corner Of 18th and B streets northwest TO
view the chrysanthemum show OF the De-
partment of Agriculture, which opened
Monday, and will continue through the
week. Scores of magnificent blooms are to
be seen and there are number OF speci-
men plants That are interesting on account
of their oddities. There Is one plant upon
which eighteen different varieties OF now
ers have been grated. and are In full
bloom, showing many different colors ana
shapes. Originally there were twenty-five
varieties on this plant. but four Of them
did not develop successfully. Another plant
has eight varieties.
The beautiful 1905 Seeding, which was
named Mrs Roosevelt by Secretary Will
son last Friday. is the center of interest
in this exhibit. The flower is of great size
and remarkably comedy shape. its large Pc
tails turning gracefully inward. 1t is I'm
derstood that Mrs. Roosevelt will receive
the flower named for her as d gift from
the department after the close of the show
There were many Inquiries today for a
chrysanthemum called Miss Alice Roose-
velt.'' which, according to a published re-
port, was on exhibition a companion to
the Mrs. Roosevelt" but the gardener in
formed every one who asked about it that
while there had been some talk Of naming
one of the new seedlings for the President
daughter, nothing of the kind had been
done.
Both of the exhibits are open during the
entire day.

Reorganizing Guatemala's Schools.

In the interview with Minister Munoz of
Guatemala, published Monday, the state
ment was made that the Guatemalan
schools lad reopened. 1t should have been
that they have been reorganized. since they
have not been closed at any time except
for the regular vacations. Their reorganiz-
alton has been the especial work OF Presi-
dent Cabrera's administration. The state
ment regarding Latin-American countries
and the fear of absorption by the United
States was that of the writer of the inter-
view and was not a quotation from Minister
Munoz himself.

to begin with, Captain Mcintyre, acting
chief Of the insular bureau, invited 100
state military Institutes and agricultural

from among their graduates. Less than
twenty applications were received, the fac
