number of years. and those who were
coming out We're from such prominent
families that much entertaining would
have been done in their honor.
Attractive, piquante Miss Janet Won
Schroeder is one of those who will be
introduced this winter. and for her
there will be many fetes It is whis-
pered that she is to be presented at an
affair to be given by her greataunt,
Mrs. Eleanor Martin. who is such a
fairy godmother in the matter of en-
tertaining for the young girls in her
family, but there are as yet no definite
plans announced. Miss Won Schroeder
is extremely bright and vivacious and
is especially clever at palmistry and
character reading, which is always so
taking an art. She has lived abroad a
great deal and speaks several Ian
guages huently. For no debutante of
the year is there a more promising out
look for a happy winter fun of all the
delights that mean so much to young
girl.
Miss Mary Keeney. the daughter of
Dr.. and Mrs! J. W. Keeney, is another
who has determined to brave the "a
lamity season" and will be debu-
tante. She is charminsly pretty and
attractive and has inherited much of
the charm which has made her mother
such a great favorite here. She has
just returned from years course at
one Of the most fashionable finishing
schools in New York. and while there
was permitted upon one or two occa-
sions to get a glimpse of society. Last
winter Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs enter

honor of Miss Keeney and Miss oeI-
richs. Mrs. Peter Martins young sister.
at which many members of the most
exclusive younger set of New York
were present. Miss Keeney is to be
presented probably at a large tea
which will be given soon by her
mother. Mrs. Keeney, at their home on
Clay street.

l NO CONVEIv.1 .IIUINo
CHANCERY AND JUDICIAL MEET IN PINE BLUFF sATU3L4Y
 AND MONDAY NExf
Both Robbed Of interest b. Fact That Candidates Have No Oprositjon
 for Respective O4cez

Pine Bluff will be tae see6e o5 m important convention tomorrow aHl another on next Monday. Satu5#f=t, the q eleeates to the ehahceFy canfaa. ten Wiil eeneresate here 10 Eomit=ac candidate for chancellor of this dis tlict. On Monday the delegates to tho judicial convention will gather here for the nomination of candidates for circuit judge and prosecuting attor ney of the judicial circuit
 While the conventions are import. ant ones, in a sense, yet their import ance is robbed of interest by the fact that the candidates for these respec- tive offices are without oppositior, and their nomination b" tha conYen- tion is | fore9one conclu, on, and ev- erybOiy knows in advance just who the nominees will be. For chancellor. Judge John M. Elliott is without an opponent, and will not have dissent ing vote in the convcnti9n which meets here tomorrow. Judge Elliott bears 6 unique position in this con, vention since practically every law yer in the district over which he pre- sides is already committed to his candidacy It will be remembered that monster petition, signed by eV- cry member of the bar in his entire circuit, was recently presented to Judge Eelliott asking him h re-enter the race for another term as chan cellor The petition was all the more gratifying to Judge Elliott as it came in the nature of surprise to him.
 At the judicial convention next Mon day, Judge A. B. Grace will be re nominated for circuit judge, and Hon. " D Jones for prosecuting attorney of this circuit They are without oD- position Both have made good off cers and both have the good will of everybody
 Some interes- may be added to the latter convention by the raising of the question of the manner of select ing candidates hereafter, although this is by no means assured. The pos sibility, however, is that the conven- ton may be asked to refer the se- lection of judicial candidates hereaf- ter to primaries in the respective counties, giving the office to the man who gets the largest popular vote.

LEAVES HIS POS1 AFTER TWENTY YEARS SERVICE, F1AV1s DECLINES CHAIRMAN
 SHIP OF REPUBLICANS.
Iong Recognized as the Leader Of the coIored Faction of the Party
 Nominated Postmaster

The annouHeement in tie Gea.4'
 that Fefd Havis after serving the JetIer50u county Republicans as chair 1aan of their county organization for twenty years, had declined a renom ise,tion for the place, comes as a news item of more than ordinary local in terest. IIavis is looked upon as a leader of the negroes in politics and bis hold on the state organization vas so strong that he was able to se cure the recommendation for appoint ment as postmaster at Pine Bluff dur ing the first term of President Me Kinley. Havis' name was sent to the senate. bu. he failed of confirmation by that body, and Louis Althelmer was made postmaster. It was the impression at the time that Senators Berry and Jones. then Arkansas sen ators at Washington. blocked Havls. confirmation and prevented the ln- stallation of the negro appointee as postmaster at Pine Bluff. Havis con tinued at the head of the Jefferson county Republican organization, and his voluntary retirement from the chairmanship now is supposed to be sionifieant of nothing more than his desire to transfer the burden of active leadership to others. His appearance at the head of the county's delegation ir the Republican state convention cn May 31 indicates that he retains lis grip on the local Republican organ- ization.

BOB TAYLOR
GREETED BY A LARGE AUDIENCE AT THE ELkS THEATER
 THURSDAY NIGHT.
Hearers-Recently Elected United States Senator Over Carmack

Gov. Bob Taylor appeared at the Eiks thaa4er in this city Thursday right, in his most popular lecture, Castles in the Air and was greet e! bT large number of Pine Bluff citizens, among whom the lecturer iG so popular. Gov Tavlor has just concluded an arduous campaign in the state of Tennessee for the position of United States senator, in which he defeated Hon. E. w. Carmack, the present senator, by handsome ma icrity, but ha appeared none the worse for the strenuous experience of the past few months. and many who were present thought Gov. Fay for appeared to a better advantage than ever before
 The success of Gov. Taylcr as a close to human nature and that there is heart interest in all his lectures, and this understandin@ of human na- ture and his great stock of human sympathy has stood him in equally as good stead in his political campaign.
 When Bob Taylor enters a cam paign the people are prone to lose their importance being lost in the great personality of Taylor, and the ability of his opponent as statesman has but little weight It is a known fact that for many years Taylor has been kept by the Democratic party in Tennessee as an emergency man, to be put in the field when the Republi- cans nominated a man that no other Democrat in the state could beat. Taylor has always responded to these demands of his party, and entering the lists against men who were, be- yond question, his superiors in states r.anship, has sung and fddled his way into the executive mansion, and this personal popularity has at last landed him iu the highest position within the gift Of the people of his native state-that of United States senator
 The powers of such man in th:s direction are only limited by the lumber of people with whom he can

New York, May 17.-A 1o0-story building covering an entire block, probably will be the next development Of this age of sliyscrapers, according to Theodore Starrett of the Thompson cta.rett Building Construction com eany. one of the leading builders of New York. The ma erial used in the giant structure, in Mi Staffatt's opinion will be reinforced concrete. He considers this the building faate- rial of the future.
