Let there be no mistake on this subject, for the Lenten season merely indicates that a different phase of social life is absorbing the interest of people generally, and while dancing, frocks may be laid aside for the moment, there are plenty of opportunities to don smart and elaborate frocks for the various dinners, musicales, card parties and such like, the different Lenten festivities, In truth, calling for quite as much in the way of elaborate dress as did those of the earlier winter. je j jc Mr. Edwin M. Scott and Mr. Earl R. Cotton have issued the following invitations for a dance: Yourself and Ladies cordially Invited to attend a Social Dance On the evening of St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 1909. At I. O. O. F. Hall. This affair will no doubt be one of the most delightful functions of the numerous ones, which have been arranged for this day. Piano and drums will furnish the dance music. J J J Mr. James H. Nye and Miss Mary E. Tatman were married last evening at seven thirty o'clock at the home of the Rev. J. O. Campbell, 114 North Sixth street.

TO AVOID JAIL SENTENCE IT IS PROBABLE THAT JONES AND GAY WOULD ENTER PLEAS OF GUILTY TO ONE SECTION OF THE LAW.

There is talk about the circuit court room of a probable compromise in the cases of the State vs. Gay and the State vs. Jones. Each of the defend ants are charged with violating the liquor laws under the "blind tiger" section of the statute. Jones has been tried twice and each time the jury failed to agree. Gay has had one trial and the result w as the same. It has been suggested to the prosecut ing attorney that the most advisable thing to do would be to accept a plea of guilty to a section of the law. the penalty for conviction of the violation of which does not require a jail sen tence. Cannot Convict Him. It is the belief of attorneys outside the case that it is far from probable a jury can be obtained that will convict either of the defendants. The charge is the same in both cases and when three juries have disagreed the precedent established is so strong as to determine sentiment and woirtd have influence on any jury. By some attorneys it is claimed that the state will be unable to convict either man and that the counsel of either will be unable to have him acquitted. It is asserted that there is something besides evidence that enters Info the consideration of such cases by a jury and this has a marked effect. Overtures Were Made. The belief has been expressed that counsel would enter a plea of guilty if the charge were changed in both cases. Overtures were made to Wilfred Jessup, when prosecuting attorney, by the counsel for Gay asking that the charge be restricted to one count. The consideration was refused and Gay was tried and a disagreement followed. The Gay case has been set for a second trial a number of times but In each case a continuance has been granted for various reasons, among others that the attorneys for the defendant were not ready. ;.. .Upon the motion of his counsel, the bond "of Jones was reduced from $50O to $300 by Judge Fox yesterday. WORK THAT TELLS. Plenty of It Has Been Done Right Here in Richmond. Cures that last are cures that tell. To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate the cures and see if they prove permanent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in Richmond. People who testified years ago to relief from backache, kidney and urinary disorders, now declare that relief was permanent and the cure perfect. How can any Richmond sufferer longer doubt the evidence? Miss Frances Hamilton, 27 N Ninth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I was greatly annoyed by pains through the small of my back and iff my shoulders. When my sister advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co s drug store and two boxes freed me from the trouble. I think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills and consider them worthy of recommendation." The above statement was given in July. 1906. and on December 12, 1908, Miss Hamilton added: "I have had no return of kidney complaint since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me. I am always glad to say a good word in praise of this excellent kidney remedy." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. " Foster-Mllburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. FADS AND FANCIES The prestige of satin-faced materials continues unabated. Newest hats are being extensively trimmed on the right side.

Pale pastel blue Is beautiful with the new shade known as wistaria. The new Chinese cotton crepes of filmy texture are used for dainty white frocks.

GIRLS ORGANIZE A LONESOME CLUB Will Do Without Those Mean Old Men. Camden has organized a Betr society among the young women which is composed of twenty-two members. Because there are not twenty-two "eligible" young men in the town, the young women hare decided all will do without. When meetings of the club are held, eleven girls masquerade In male attire and accompany the other eleven to the event and escort them home. Who takes the "men" home has not been determined. W. A. Graham Clark, special agent of the Bureau of Manufactures, and an expert in textiles, has been assigned to investigate market conditions in Latin American countries. He will first visit New York. Providence, Pawtucket, Boston and other points, in New England, and confer with manufacturers of cotton goods and others interested. The fire loss in the United States and Canada for the month of January $7,000,000 below the the January loss in 1908, and ?2.O00.0OO under the January loss in 1907; but it was exceeded' only three times in the monthly fire losses, of last year. Prices of living increased, the only exception Mrs. Austin's pancake flour. Same old price at all best grocers. Eccentric new hair ornaments are being made of gold in the form of conch shells, and are worn right over the ears. City bowling alley, 22 N. 9th Z2t
