PLAN CHECK ON DIVORCE EVIL.
Chicago Clergymen Supporting Pro.
posed Law on Remarriage.

CHICAGO, March 3.-ChtCagO clergy
men heartily indorse bill introduced in
the legislature providing for fine or i'm
prisonment for divorced persons who by
falsehood and Misrepresentation prevail
upon ministers to marry them. 1t is in
tended to remedy a defect In the state
law which provides that no divorced
person shall remarry within one year.
and in some cases two years. after the
decree of divorce. This law provides no
means whereby the clerk issuing the IL
cense or the clergyman performing the
ceremony can ascertain the facts, except
by inquiry of the principals to the mar
riage, and provides no penalty for their
making false answers.
THE Catholic Church is In favor of
the BILL" said Chancellor E. NJ Dunno.
While the church recognizes no such
thing as divorce, we have canonical i'm
pediments which operate to annul a mar
riage. Misrepresentation in regard to
one of these impediments occasionally
ceremony that is afterward found to be
without validity
This bill ought to be enacted into
law" said Rev. w. c. Dewitt OF the
Western Theological Seminary. Per
sonally l believe that no clergyman
should marry couple he does not know.
There are occasions, however when a
minister is called upon to marry a couple
with whom he is not acquainted and for
whom there is no one to vouch. and this
law will not only protect the clergyman
from imposition, but will be an accom-
mediation 10 the couple themselves"

Stand for President.
A special stand for the President is an
innovation. Heretofore the presidential
party has locked down upon the ball

night it will view the brilliant scene
and be viewed in turn from a stand built

Is located at the west end of the court
The groundwork of the decorations is

wreaths have been hung. and below and
above them are American beauty roses

of graceful evergreen.
Turning their eyes upon the general
floral decorations of the ballroom those
who attend will see at the top of each

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.

The post-mortem statistics Of the big New

sumption are due unchecked dyspepsia, espe-
eislIy when the victim was predisposed to tu
berculosis.
Dyspepsia out the body and BRAIN the

the body becomes fertile field for the germs
of disease 10 lodge and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia
10 progress unhindercd is guilty of contributing
toward the development OF one Of the most In
sidious and fatal diseases known TO mankind
Dyspepsia is curable il properly treated. James
o'Donnell sells remedy which he positively
guarantees will cure indigestion or dyspepsia
or he will pay for all the medicine used during
the trial. This remedy is an absolutely new
medical discovery and has been named Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets Certainly offer could be
more fair. and the offer Of James O'Donnell is
proof positive that Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
a dependable and infsllible remedy. Inasnucb
as the medicine will cost you nothing IL 1t does

having $50 electric bulbs. that shed soft.
mellow light. under whose rays the horai
decorations stand out clearly, losing none
of their beauty. Sometimes in the past
red. white and blue lights have glimmered
and gistened from out the evergreen
wreaths and massive floral designs on the
walls and along the galleries. The result
was that a mixed effect was produced and
much Of the beauty of the flowers was
lost because of the binding glare and
crotesque shadows produced by the
lights.
Tomorrow night such a result will be
obviated Light from the chandeliers will
fall directly on the mural decorations
from the middle of the room, and the
many persons to whom the floral de-
signs are the most delightful part of the
decorations will have full opportunity TO
study them in detail.
The eighteen chandeliers are strung in
rows the full length Of the court. They
are suspended from the roof Of the build
ing by steel cables hung from great
under the roof. Each electric bulb is in
a gilt setting.
Treatment of Pillars.
The pillars in the court which are yell
low in color are not decorated. At the
point where they join the bunting cell
ing false caps of wood covered with gold
leaf have been placed, so that the pillars
appear to end at the bunting The nat
ural beauty OF these columns will not be
marred by wreaths. but will stand out
clear in natural simplicity.
Naturally the most beautiful decora-
tions are those on the Presidents stand
and in the Presidents room. where he and
the Vice President and their immediate
party will take supper. All the COM
bined efforts of those in charge Of the
ballroom decorations were directed toward
making the Presidents room worthy OF
the occasion. and signal success has
crowned their work.
The ground work of the decorations in
the Presidents room, the room where Mr.
Taft will receive the members of his
party and from which he will go to the
gallery stand that has been built for his
use. is cream-colored bunting. Hanging

Cream and Green.
The groundwork of the whole decora-
tive scheme is cream-colored bunting.
Forty thousand yards of this cloth. which
is fireproof, have been used in forming the
ceiling and in covering the natural in
terror walls of the court at places Where
they are not covered by evergreens. A
general color scheme of cream and green.
relieved here and there by white and req
floral displays, prevails.
A ceiling of bunting will cover the
entire court. 1t is stretched across from
the upper galleries and forms what
decorators call a "barrel-shaped' room.
Dropping to a level with the second
balcony. the cream of the bunting begins
to mingle with the green and white OF
the vines and flowers. From that height
to the floor the combination of the two
prevails.
Realizing that the day of garish
electrical display is over. that with the
passing of its novelty there is nothing
left in that line for the decorator but a
ringing of the changes on ideas already
old, and determined that the ballroom
should not be overdecorated, the COM
mittee on decorations decided that the
entire room should be lighted by
chandeliers only, and that no lights should
shine from the walls.

WILL SUCCEED MISS HAGNE0
ALICE BLECH TO BE PRIVATE
SECRETARY TO MRS. TAFT.
Is Now Clerk in the Bureau OF
American Republics-Speaks
Four Languages.

Miss Alice Blech, clerk in the bureau
of American republics. has been selected
by Mrs. Taft to become her secretary as
soon as she takes up her residence IN the
White House. Miss Hagner, who has
served Mrs. Roosevelt In similar ca
pacity. has been transferred to a position
in the bureau Of trade relations in the
State Department.
Miss Alice Blech. besides being a good
stenographer, speaks German fluently and
has also a knowledge of French and
Spanish, all of which will be extremely
useful to her in the duties of her new po-
sition.
This position has come to Miss Blech
through no influence, her appointment
being governed entirely by her unusual
capa abilities to fill the position of secre-
tary to Mrs. Taft.
Was a Good Clerk.
During her several years association
with the bureau of American republics
she has gradually risen in salary and po-
sition. The director Of the bureau speaks
of her in the highest terms as clerk
LAYING particular stress on her fitness as a
secretary. Correspondence has been her
chief work in her present position, and
her systematic handling of letters of diff
ferent natures will be beneficial to heI
when she takes up her position at the
White House.
Has Travelled Much.
Miss Blech's father was German, who
came to this country many years ago
and married a Georgia girl. Miss Sor-
rel of Savannah, whose brother, c. Mox-
lev Sorrel, was chief of staff in Gen
Longstreets command in the Confederate
army. Mrs. Blech. survives her husband
and with her daughter makes her home al
the Lenox apartment.
Shortly after their marriage Mr.. ano
Mrs Sorrel went to Germany, and Miss
Alice Blech was born in Dresden. AS a
little girl she travelled considerably with
her parents in Europe and the north
coast of Africa. living for some years in
Alexandria Egypt. After the death OF
her father some ten years ago, the
mother and daughter returned to Amer
lea.
Shrinks From Publicity.
Miss Alice Blech obtained position as
clerk in the bureau of American repub
| lies, which she has since held.
| Despite the fact that the position OF
secretary to Mrs. Taft has been coveted
| by many, Miss Blech is retaining com
posure and is stunning as much as posi-
BILE all visitors. Today she was at he
desk as usual at the bureau, but 1t is hel
last day there.
Miss Blech is of medium height ant
has a slender figure. She has dark hal
and regular features.
