Miss Hughs Proves Herself an Adj
mirable Hostess.

PHopewell Jan. 1S.-Special: Last
week many hearts were made glad
when they received the following in
vitation: Miss Geraldine Hughs, At
Home, Mrs. Leonard Ellis Lands,
Hopeweli Community, Wednesday
Evening, January 18th, 1909, s till
IL" Because of the inciemency of
the weather all the guests could not
be there, but those present spent a
very pleasant evening. The rooms
were tastefully decorated in holly,
and Miss Hughs, the beautiful and
charming hostess, wore q lovely
gown of pale blue, made empire
her throat. She looked unusually
pretty, and glided among her guests
like queen, making them all enjoy
the evening, Notwithstanding the rain
outside. Several new and amusing
games were played, which was a
source of pleasure to all. The games
were too numerous to name them all.
One wGs the advertisement game,
which was exciting and amusing, and
In which prize was given for the
most correct answers. The young
men were asked to write recipes for
different dishes, the hostess selecting
the recipes. All, OF course, were diff
ferent from anytlir, that is in the
recipe book.
At 1890 refreshments OF ambrosia
and cake were served. At II o'clock
the guests departed, declaring they
never spent a more pleasant evenin g
in their lives. Guest.

STUNNED BY HER TRIBESNIEN.
Indian Wife OF Gen. Sam Houston
Left Alone to Die OF Hunger.

Anadarko, Okla, Jan. 19.-Left
alone to. die of hunger and Stunned
by her tribesmen, is the story OF Me-
lissa Houston, the Indian wife of
Gen. Sam Houston, first president Of
Texas. This woman is, according to
the best authority, ia years old.
She is full-blood Kiowa, and at the
time was a belle Of the famous tribe
of warriors. She lives in her tepee
on the banks of the Washita river,
three miles from the agency. AS the
white settlers knew it would offend
the members of her tribe should they
render assistance, they refrained
from doing so.
She is given small rations once q
week, enough to sustain life, but she
refuses any one the privilege of en-
tering her tepee.
Gen. Houston lived among the
Cherokee tribe when he was quite
young, but later came southwest and
cast his lot with the Kiowas, and
married Melissa.

The Cost of Tuberculosis.
(J. Sioat Iassett, in Charities and
The Common

(J. Sioat asset, in Charities and
The Common.)
There are S6,OO0,OOO people in
the United States, and it is estimated
that 100000 of them die of tubercu-
loSis every year. 1t is estimated that
II 2-1O per cent of all who die die
from tuberculosis. If that is true
then of the S6.0O0,0O0 Of the people
now living in the United States g.
G32 600 are doomed to die of tuber-
culosis. Prof. Irving Fisher states
that the money cost of tuberculosis,
including capitalized earning power
lost by death, exceeds $4,000 for
each death, so that the hand of this
destroyer has already laid it's para
lying grasp upon 1000
worth of human productive energy
a year, and Of this cost two-fifths, or
$440, 100000, falls on others than
the consumptiye. And when this tre-
mendous loss, this enormous paraly-
sis Of energy, is extended to what
may happen unless conditions
change, before the last living inhabi-
tant of the United States passes to
his long home, it is represented by
+; figures that are stupendous and in
conceivable. Measured, then, by the
bare standard Of money alone, this
dread disease, unless checked, has
already laid out for destruction an
amount OF energy to be measured
feebly and crudely by the sum OF
SIT, 7,056, 100000.

THORNTON j. HAMS is FREE.
Second Trial and Acquittal of MUIR
der Charge.

Flushing, n. Y, JAM 15.-Thorn-
ton j. Hains las to-day acquitted OF
the charge Of murder in the first de-
gree which grew out Of the killing Of
William IL. Annis at the Bayside
Yacht Club, August 10, 1908.
Hains stood over his brother, Capt.
Peter G.. Hams, Jr., while the latter
shot down Annis, but did not actu-
ally participate in the shooting.
His brother, Capt. Hams, has not
yet been put on trial.
This Is the second time that Hams
has been acquitted of a murder
,harge. In 1891 he was tried in Vir-
ginia for killing his former friend,
Edward A. flanagan, off Fortress
Monroe, with whom he quarreled
while canoeing. That time he was
acquitted on the ground that he acted
in self-defense. The jury was out 22
hours.
1t was learned from one of the
jurors that seven ballots were taken
The first ballot stood eight to tour
for acquittal. The next change came
early this morning, when a ballot
showed nine jurors in favor Of free
ing the defendant.
"Likc Poker Game" Said ;;ains.
1nOTnlOn tiallS was quoted to-day
as saying that che would willingly
do it over again"
"If my brother, the major here
he said, "got into trouble and need
ed me for protection, I'd do the same
thing
Hains was asked whether, after he
bad twice been tried on charge OF
murder, he would continue to carry
revolver.
"Certainly I'll carry gum" he an.
swered. "A man can't tell when he
might have to use it,"
Being on trial for your life" he
added, lis like a game of poker. The
accused goes in holding a pair OF
deuces and the prosecution holds
three aces. 1t is all in the draw.

CONGRESS- Rolls AT RoosEvEIT r
Never Has a President So .Angered

Washington, Jan. 17.--Individual
members of Congress and the two
houses collectively are determined to
overlook no opportunity between
now and March A to shoot barbed
and poisoned arrows into the Presi-
dent, rend him before the public
gaze, to brand and disgrace him. il
possible. before he shall leave the
White House.
They feel that the President has
llouted and insulted Congress, and
they are indignant. They believe
that his popularity throughout the
country is waning, and they rejoice.
They are planning all sorts of Sex
posures," digging all manner of traps
andtlaying several trains Of dynamite
in the hope of sending him skyward.
In word, Congress has it's danier
up.
impeachment is actually being
talked OF out loud by several indig-
nant members. At first II was only
breathed. cautiously in the seclusiop
of the cloak rooms. Then it was
mentioned more boldly. Finally it
was spoken audibly outside, though
not for publication. Congressman
explained that it might be misrnder-
stood If they sought to imp ,aIh the
president on the ground of his secret
service message

serve the President roast Congress
is daily engaged in the delightful
task of getting even.N The Perkins
committee Cf the house, which
brought in the recommendation 10
lay tho secret service extracts on the
table, came to be facetiously dubbed

Senator Tillman has fired one
broadside and promises another.
Whether it is to be personal or po,iti-
cal, no one seems to know. All is
grist that now comes to the mill of

Vague and sensational rumors are
floating about as to what Senator
Tillman is expected to show, but at
