Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Plains, Ga, Nov. 8.-Quite an inter-
esting and unique entertainment was
that at which Miss Ruby Zimmerman
entertained Halloween night. The re-
ception hall and parlors were draped
in white, with black cats here and
there and dim lights thrown from
iack-o-lanterns and skulls. AS the
guests arrived they were met by
ghosts and invited into the chamber
of horrors and came face to face with
Death, Bluebeards wife and Hades
and it's King.
After this feature of the entertain
ment the guests were invited into the
dining room where the Halloween
idea was very prettily carried out in
the decorations and a delicious salad
course was served. After having spent
a most delightful evening, the ghosts
dispersed, Mr. s. H. Zimmerman being
the fortunate one to win the prize,
large pumpkin, filled with fruits
and candies.
The younger set was pleasantly en-
tertained Thursday evening by Miss
Theresa Walters. The decorations
were suggestive of Halloween. The

structing. or dealing in electric
supplies, is eligible.
The motto of the Jovians is, "Au
together. all the time, for every
thing electrical"
The order OF Jovians is purely
social, but there is no doubt that
every member is inspired to little
better work and in little bigger
and more generous way than ever
before. He gets rid of his whims,
his prejudices, his fears and his
doubts.
Good fellowship is an asset; also,
1t is an education. The Jovians are
essentially democratic.
The boys who string wires are
eligible. Also all central station
men. employees of street railways,
heads of departments, office, sales,
factory forces and members of Job
bling concerns. Also most telephone
interests march proudly under the
Jovian banners.

society knowns as THE Jo-
vians." It was simply local or
ganization of men who were en-
gagged in the business OF Harvesting
electricity.
The particular excuse for found
ing the society was to entertain a
convention of manufacturers and
jobbers that was to meet in Austin.
The charter membership was "A.
These men were more or less in
competition with one another. but
they said For the time we will
sink our prejudices and fears of
one another and get together and
take care Of the visitors"
They Got Together.
And so when the men got to-
gether and looked into one an
others faces, and laughed and
joked they really liked one an
other first rate, and they discovered
that, although men may be in COM
petition with one another, yet if
they are working in the same line
of business. there is something
which they have In common that
makes for respect and confidence.
Especially is it true that after YOU
have played with a man you can
not go away and lie about him nor
defame him.
And, 10! there were other Jovian
societies founded in the immediate
vicinity. Wherever there was a
central power plant it was suggest
ed that there should be an associa-
ton Of the Jovians And so the
idea has gradually spread until the
Jovians now number in the United
States over 5000 members.

Just Getting Acquainted.
The idea of electricity binding
the world together in a body of
brotherhood is something we did
not look for few years ago. Elec-
tricity occupies the twilight zone
between the world of spirit and the
world of matter. Electricians are
all proud of their business. They
should be. God is the Great Elec-
tricIan.
Men are surely getting acquaint-
ed and getting together as never
before in history, All together, all
the time, not only for everything
electrical but everything human
why not?

The First Man.

The first cave man Who noticed
that when he rubbed two sticks
together the friction produced
warmth, and who had the curiosity
to keep on rubbing the sticks to-
gether, gave US fire. The first wom-
an who had the curiosity to see
what would happen when you put
raw meat on the fire gave us cook
ing.
The first man who was curious to
know what lay beyond his imme-
diate neighborhood blazed the trail
that has led other men to the north
pole.
II Newton had not been curious,
he would never have discovered the
law OF gravitation. If Jenner had
not been curious, he would not have
found out about the circulation of
the blood. If Fulton hadn't been
curious, he would never have both
cred his head with the wild idea
that a steamboat could be made to
run UP a river at a speed Of four
miles an hour.
If Edison wasn't one of the most
curious men in the world, we might
not be able to sit at home and listen
TO Caruso sing out Of a little box
in the corner, or to speak to our
friends across the continent over
dinky little wire. All of those
doctors who spend their lives in
laboratories searching into the ped
igree Of germs. and in grating the
bones and the organs Of dead peo-
pie onto live ones. are all insatiably
curious men.

searchers was a woman. 1t is our
first mother, and not our father.

Woman and FIasman at Fault.
Chicago, July 23.-Four separate
phases of responsibility for the West
ern Springs wreck in which 13 per
sons lost their lives were laid at the
door of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad by Coroner Peter
Hoffman in summing up the case at
the La Grange inquest yesterday.
Two of the counts fell to the lot Of
the towerwoman, Julia A. Wilcox,
whose part in the wreck caused her
life with its blot of six months in the
Dunning insane asylum to be laid
bare.
The four things cited by the coro-
Ber as the causes OF the mail trains
plunge into the rear of the Overland
Express were:
Mrs. Wilcoxs misunderstanding Of
a telephone order and unnecessary
and disastrous delay to train No. 4.
Mrs. Wilcox's failure TO hold train
No. s at Hinsdale TO protect the ex-
press. as the fog and weather condi-
tions demanded.
The lack OF effective tagging of the
mail train by Frank Woodwork, flag
man on the express.
The failure of Burlington engineers
TO comply with the rule specifying re-
duced speed on approaching signals in
dense fogs.
