The fnur‘ hall and stairway presented a pretty picture, with their contents of beautiful, intellectual and noble motherg and daughters oI[ Tallahassee, and visiting women from other parts of Florida and other! States. “The popular young hostess, Mrs, i Park Trammell, ever lovable and charming, has been for years an ar-| | dent member of the W, ¢, T, U., and | ag a wife of a prominent ex-senator | and publisher of South Florida has recently stated, ‘She is 4 woman whu‘; | #ives her time to things worth while, | and is in a position to have great in- | fluence. 1 believe she will use her; position for the betterment of hu- manity.’ “Mrs. Lo Co Yaeger, the leader for the afternoon, presented a fine pro m including vocal selections by F. M. Hudson and Mrs A, Z Adkins, both wives of senators, and number of stirring addresses, Mrs | George S, Milligan, an organizer for | tlie National Anti-cigaret Ln-ugm-,“ who is giving carnest service to this| cause as a memorial to her son, pru", sented the dangers and the power 0[‘ the cigaret habit as few of the wom- en had ever heard them presented! Lefore, ‘The cigaret is the grv:m-st" handicap of the American boy," wag| the startling statement, supported by facts, figures and testimony from many prominent educators and em- ployers, ‘and if the mother has not fertified her hoy with knowledge of |xmn-ulics and their effects she is re-| sponsible if he forms the habit.” was | gown * assertion which gave every one present food for very serious thought. “The State presicent, Miss Neal, sfoke a few words of greeting, and ivited every woman to give her ser- Vice to humanity through the Wom- au's Christian Temperance Union, urging the responsibility of each not ouly to her home, but to her State| and to her God. “Mrs. Geo. Riggin, State superin- tendent of Medical Temperance, 8wakened very general interest in that department a sshe explained the need every day of the knowledge ob- tained througy the study of home remedies and the danger from dopes of every description. “Over a hundred were in attend- ance and at the close of the pro- fram a delightful social hour was enjoyed as some of the beautiful voung ladies assisted in serving ca.e and frait.” Changes in Bridal Attire, At a recent wedding the bride in- troduced a conspicuous innovation by carrying a bouquet of deep crimson roses with her white satin and lace Her wreath, too, was not the | erthodox orange blossom, but con- sisted of white heather and myrtle leaves under the fowing tulle veil. If things go on as they are at the present the bride's tollet will soon cease to have any distinctive mode. Chiffon, embroideries of pearl and crystal beads, with train of brocade 11 any pale color, have alrcady been exploited in the bridal toilet; also « single colored rose or an orchid as the center of the bouquet, and now that the white bouquet has begun to be replaced by colored flowers there citn be no doubt that change is going ahead in this direction. A few weeks ago a bride carried no bouquet, but held a fan instead. The weather was not conspicuously trop- ical, hut the delicate little lace fan struck a decorative note, and was less troublesome to carry than the usual Louquet LN INTERESTING INSUR- ANCE PROPOSITION.

Rre THE NVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., MAY 26, 1913, WOTED 1 15 DEA Secret of the Maine Dies With i “Cat Man.” Mysterious New York Hermit Was Employed by Spanish Govern- ment in the Isle of Cuba— Son of a Grandee. New York.—Fragments of the life of “The Cat Man" came out following his death by gas in a dingy little room at the Hotel Trafalgar, 115 Bast Four teenth street, where for sixteen years he had lived in seclusion with his cats, His death was as peculiar as his life. Gas was escaping from a stove, and cards on the bed showed he had been playing solitaire when overccme. A jet was burning and two cats showed fight when hotel employes ap- proached the body. The animals were unaffected, but the fumes had killed “The Cat Man,” who was seventy years old and was known as Manuel de Fuentes Bustillo. | During the long years he had lived on the top floor he always kept his door locked. After some of the duet and litter of papers had been cleared away by the coroner it became known that “The Cat Man” was the Beau Brummel of Madrid fifty years ago. and afterward became one of the greatest sples in the Spanish army, holding back by his skillful work for many years the independence of Cuba. He was one of the few men believed to know the truth about the blowing up of the Maine. The United States ~has spent much money and several years in a vain effort to get {nforma- tion it is certain Bustillo poseessed. | No one was ever allowed to enter his room during the years he had been at the hotel. He had a large padlock on the door and used this when he went out. The (wo spitting, bristling cats | tound crouched beside his body on the | bed were his only companicns. What secret he was guarding has not been revealed from the musty papers thue |tar examined, some of which date back thirty years, and most of which are In Spanish. Efforts will be wade to. find documents relating to the Maine. Enough has been found, however, to show that his father was a Spanish nobleman and his mother the daugh- ter of a wealthy Cuban land owner. He never was hurt but once in a duel, and the Injury then to his hip made him for life. While in the London legation he was a favorite of Disraell, then prime minister. He was the heir to a large fortune, but had only $14 in his pockets. It 18 believed deposits wiil be found In sev- eral banks. A paper dated June, 1901, executed by Ullo & Ruebsamen, lawyers, with offices at that time at 11 Broadway, was found in the room. This paper deeded Bustillo's electric railway rights in Spain to J. Barker Carter. From this paper it would appear that the king of Spain had given these rights to Bustillo in recognition of his services to his country. Many stock certificates issued by telegraph, telephone and other elec- tric companies also were found in the room. The police are inclined to think that death was an accident, but Mrs. Han- igan, wife of the hotel proprietor, does not hold this theory, basing her belief on the fact that the door was unlock- ed when the body was found. NO SECRET DIVORCE TRIALS Every Court in Engiand Open to Ev. ery Subject and Must Leave Doors Open, Is Ruling. London.—An end has been put to the possibility of secret proceedings in divorce and other sults in the Unit- ed Kingdom by a judgment delivered by the house of lords, sitting as the highest court of appeals. The divorce court had adjudged a Mrs. Scott guilty of contempt of court in circulating among her friends the report of a case heard “Iin camera” in which she had been accused of Infidel- ity, but had been vindicated. The lord chancellor's opinion, In which the other law lords concurred, reverses the judgment for contempt of court. The lord chancellor declares: “Every court of justice in the land is open to every subject of the king and a court has no power to sit other- wise than with open doors” WOMAN THIEF IS A FIGHTER Dresses Well Also, According to Re- ports, and Hustles From Place to Place in Automobile. Pasadena, Cal—A woman burgiar, faultlessly attired and employing an automobile in her work, was drivea from the home of Mrs. P. B. Geary, a dressmaker, by Helen Geary, sev- enteen years old, after a desperate en- counter between the women. The vis- itor was ready to depart with loot val ued at several hundred dollars when she was detected by the daughter of the modiste, a fist fight ensued, the Geary girl was struck down and the thief jumped into her automobile and sped away, leaving most of the plun- der. Governor Was Angry. Columbia, 8. C.—Angered by a seo ond fine imposed on his negro chauf- feur for speeding, Governor Blease threatened to put this city under mar tial law.
