without relief.
“My mother bought me a bottle of Cardui

Before 4 bottles were taken I was entirely

New York, Dec. 16.—Mrs. Caroline
Martin, mother of Ocey Snead, the East
Orange bathtub victim, talked of sui-
cide and collapsed as she was being
led to a cell in the Moyer street police
station early today.
“The ending is death,” was Mrs. Mar-
tin’s reported comment on answer by
detectives to her questions as to what
the legal proceedings would be in her
case.

New York, Dec. 16.—A special, to the
Herald from Washington says:
Special messages which President,
Taft has promised to send to congress
on the amendments to the interstate
commerce commission act, the situation
in Nicaragua and conservation of re-
sources will wait until after the holi-
days. The president has fallen into the
mood of congress >to do little work be-
fore the new year begins. When con-
gress reassembles on Jan. 3 or 4 he is
likely to have something to ask of it.
That the president is willing to ac-
cept the suggestion of the leaders of
the senate and house is taken an an-
other indication that they are working
in accord. Before he agreed to the
suggestion that the real work of the
session begin with 1910 he was as-
sured that when it did begin it would
go forward with a fairly even tread.
If any fight is made by Republicans
against the administration measures
during this sesseion it is very likely
to come from the ranks of the “insur-
gents.”
It is learned that the president has
slightly modified his railroad program,
so that it may be in some directions
not quite so drastic. While preserving
its features, he has been able to elimi-
nate or soften it in directions which
will make it less radical. This has
placed behind it the tacit support of
some of the railroads which might have
raised serious obstacles.
Such changes as have been made by
the president are in the main pleasing
to the supporters of the administration
in the house, and are likely to make
any fight that may come less bitter. It
is not assumed that the amendments to
present railroad legislation will be
without opposition. It is the present
expectation that congress will adjourn
next week to return early in January
for real work.

Cape Town, Dec. 16.—For the first
time in history Dingaan’s Day was
celebrated today as a public holiday in
all of the states comprising the new
South African union. Originally the
observance of the day was confined
exclusively to the Transvaal, as it was
intended to commemorate the anniver-
Sary of the overthrow of the Zulu
forces by Pretorius in 1838, and later
was associated with the proclamation
of Boer independence in 1880 and the
public funeral of Paul Gruger In 1904.
By common consent it has been decided
that the special racial significance
shall no longer attach to the observ-
ance of the day, and that in future
Dingaan’s Day shall be celebrated as a
general day of thanksgiving for the
progress of white civilization in South
Africa.

For AU Sick Women
For shattered nerves, for loss of appetite, for constant
headache, for all the ills from which women suffer, we
recommend Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui relieves by
acting on the cause of the trouble and gently restoring to health.
We have testimony of many women, covering a period
of more than 50 years, showing that for most forms of female
trouble, Cardui is a certain relief. It’s a good medicine to
have on hand, as a tonic to build strength, and at trying
times to give relief from pain and distress.
Read this letter from Miss C. L Fuquay, Springfield,
Tenn. She writes: “I was very sick in September 1906, at
my sister’s home. I got up too soon and came home, which
ported her as continuing. “I am old
and can’t help anyone and am no use.
I want to go to heaven.”
Mrs. Martin was arrested late last
night in New Jersey, charging her with
the murder of Ocey Snead, her daugh-
ter.
Further discoveries in a room vaca-
ted by Mrs. Martin were made today
by the police. It is stated these. in-
clude more than 100 “suicide letters,”
purported to have been written by
Ocey Snead, many of them addressed
to prominent New Yorkers, among
them being Mrs. Russell Sage and Mrs.
Clarence Burns, well-known clubwom-
en. One of them, addressed to’ “Who-
ever Finds This,” expressed the dread
of pain and concluded:
“Nobody harmed me, and I harmed
nobody. I love everybody and every-
body loves me, but I cannot endure
physical agony.”

however, powerless.

A beautiful Christmas luncheon was
given yesterday afternoon in compli-
ment to Miss Harvie Wallis with Mrs.
J. P. Alvey as hostess.
American Beauty roses and poinsettia
were used in the decorations and min-
iature Christmas “trees laden with
pretty ornaments and souvenirs were
at each cover.
Rose point laces were used. Christ-
mas bells amid smilax were suspended
from the chandelier, and holly wreaths
hung in the windows, giving the room
a bright and cheery look witnout as
well as within.
The ices were molded as old Santa
himself, and the daintily served menu
carried out the pretty idea most ef-
fectively.
The place cards represented

warm red coats, with cheeks aglow.
The reverse side held several charm-
ing specimens of verse dedicated to
Misses Harvie Wallis, Mimi Adoue, Sara
Kempner, Lucile Robinson, Aimee

and Loula Lasker.
An American Beauty rose represent-
ing each guest was placed across each
plate.

a round of social events, of which this
was indeed one of the prettiest.

The following invitations were sent
out to 30 little tots, which read:
“Won’t you come over and play with

o’clock, on my 1st birthday?” Signed:
Alexander Jefferson Balfour III.
At 3 p. m. a large crowd assembled
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. J.
Balfour in answer to the above. Master
Alex., being very sick, was unable to
play, but greeted his little friends with
a sweet smile as they entered the
rooms. The dining room was a beau-
tiful sight for the little folks to see.
Over the table was hung a large red
bell from which fowed long red ribbon
streamers. On the center of the table
stood a large birthday cake on which
was burning one bright candle, to tell
the age of the little man. All other
decorations of cakes being in iced heart
and diamond shapes. A delightful
feast of cakes, fruit, candies and lem-
onade was enjoyed. At 5 p. m. all the
children were arranged at the table and
each given a knife to cut the birthday
cake and see who would find the dime,
button and thimble. Little Miss Clarine
Finch cut the slice and found the
thimble, Master Bill Vaughteny the
button. The last cut was made by
Master Alex, the birthday honoree, who
found the lucky dime. Each child was
then given a package of cake, candies
and fruits as a souvenir and left, all

Mrs. Marvin L. Graves entertained
with the first of a series of bridge par-
ties yesterday afternoon in her apart-
ments at the Tremont hotel.
Four tables were arranged for the
game in the library. The event, though
a small affair, was beautifully as well
as originally planned.
The tally cards and souvenirs (there
were no prizes) were brought from
Germany by the hostess and were ex-
ceedingly pretty and something entire-
ly new in design.
The tallies were mounted with
dachshunds with pink satin ribbon
bows as collar ornaments.
The souvenirs were cards done in
water colors with the dachshunds
drawing carts filled with myrtle blos-
soms and roses, green spray and orna-
mented with satin ribbon. An individ-
ual tray was arranged for each of the
four guests at each table. These were
very unique and consisted of miniature
gold dog carts filled with ferns and
pink begonia blossoms, the same idea
the souvenir cards’carrled out.
The ices were molded baskets filled
with red cherries and rested in a bed
of maidenhair ferns. The individual
cakes were iced and cut in dachshund
design.

About forty of the married ladies
enjoyed a most delightful game of
bridge yesterday afternoon as guests
of Mrs. J. S. Miller.
The prizes were handsome. The
puncher’s prize was won by Mrs. D.
Stuart Godwin. This was a large sil-
ver picture frame.
Mrs. I. H. Kempner made the highest
score and received a tapestry tea tray
mounted in glass and mission wood.
Mrs. J. L. Ullman won the prize for
three rubbers, a large cut glass pow-
der and puff box mounted in silver.
The tallies were mounted with sprays,
of holly. These had miniature hose
attached and marbles were used as
markers instead of punching.
A two-course luncheon was served,
in which the decorations of yule season
were most effectively brought out. The
first course, oysters au gratin, was
served in shells. The chocolate ices
were mounted with miniature lighted
Chr’stmas trees ornamented with tin-
sel.
The drawing-room and reception hall
were prettily decorated with holly
wreaths and exquisite flowers.
Mrs. Miller was assisted by her
daughter, Miss Beulah Miller, and by
