Beautiful entertainment.

! Beautiful and pronounced success
from every standpoint was the recep,
F., ton and dance Friday night at the

probably one hundred and fifty being
present, included in the guests being

affair.
The decorations in the Bethel par
lor were especially beautiful and con-
sisted of American Beauty roses,
southern smilax and graceful ferns
There was no formal reception com
mittee, but every one seemed bent on
helping others to feel at home and
enjoy the pleasures of the evening.
The card tables were arranged in
he front parlors, but so pleasant was
he scene and the music and the din
ng room where the dance was In
'rogress, that no one cared to play
ards and all either watched the
ancing or participated in it. Char
e's band of five pieces furnished the q
lusic and the dancing continued until
o'clock, proving one of the most de- I
ghtful dances in recent years. Mrs. /
arnett Merrill and Mrs. Fred Gamble v

TURNER, N. Y, Sept 9.-Optimis-
tic reports concerning the condition
OF Mr. Hartman have given place to
the most pessimistic reports and
there can now be no doubt that the
f1nancier is In a critical condition and
that oxygen is being administered to
keep alive the spark of life. Harri-
man himself according to the most
authentic reports is resting In bed
of ice pads to reduce his fever. The
fight to save his life now centers in
the struggle to reduce his tempera-
ture which according to reports from
the house. varies between 104 and 106
degrees. This fever followed his re-
lapse OF Saturday when he took a
short auto ride. Since Sunday the
\ fever has remained at this high point

pads packed about him have at times
pulled down his temperature, but eect
degree it was reduced, he lost JUS

DETROIT DOCTOR
Was ARRESTED
is Supposed to Know Something
Which May Clear up the
Mystery Of the MUIR
% dsrsd Girl.
TIER ONLY CLUE
The Superstition is That the Girl Went
to the City For an Operation
and Was Killed
There.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Sept. s.-The
arrest of Detroit doctor late last
evening, charged with being implicat-
ed in the death of Miss Maybelle Mill
man, whose disarticulated body was
found in a gunnysack in Ecorse Creek,
near Detroit, bears out the conclus-
ion of the authorities that the girl
died following an illegal operation
The theory upon which the police
have been working is that Miss Mill
man was the victim of either a med
ical student or a physician, and that
she went to Detroit for the purpose
of an operation, under which she
succumbed. A registered letter, con-
tanning money which was received
by her the day before she left home,
is practically the only tangible clew
in the case. The Washington author
tiles yesterday gave permission to
have the registry records here exam
| ined, and close upon this examination
came the news that an arrest had
/ been made in Detroit. The girl told
her mother that her friend, Martha
Henning of Detroit, had sent hel
money, asking her to visit Detroit
Maybelle went to Detroit and ther
disappeared.
