Successors to Mistrot-Munn Company HAIRMAN.OF iilNAUGURATION YrVG Enstice Is the Right Man for the Place. ,1 Occupies Hiffc Social Position and is I Ii Aware of the Hiceties in Etiquette Which. Are Beqninte. William Corcoran Enstice. WASHTVOTON.

January 4. Washlng-v tea to Immensely delighted at the selection of William Ooreoran Eustlce as chairman of the Irtaucurntion Committee charge of the plans for President-elect Woodrow Wilson's Inauguration. It mean. so say the wise and experi-V" Meed Washlngrtonlan. that Washlnjrton socially ran rest assured that tbe lneom-lag President and hjs family jut what sort of people with whom to sur-round themselves and that socially the Democratic recline promises to he all that i the most exacting could ask Such pn.s-pectz please Washington society mightily.

vThe difference In the choice made by Democrats and the choice of -mn In the past Is that Mr. Eustlce holds a prominent social position In the United States and In Europe and his wife widely and popularly known among 4 those whose names are printed right up at the top of the society column. Prevl-oua chairmen have been business men, widely known In commerce, possibly, but when society looked In Its blue book It found neither Mr Inauguration Chalr-i man or his wife listed there. Mr Eustice, who is a graduate of the University of Virginia and the Harvard Law School, was for several years sec- retary of the American Embassy in don, and there is talk that he may be chosen among those whom the Incoming president will send as Ambassadors abroad. Of course his connection with the American Embassy to the Court of St.

James, would make the Eustlce so-V csai position unquestioned both at home a abroad. But Mr Eustlce was born to position. He Is the son of the late Representative George Eustlce of Iouis- tana and a nephew of the late Senator B. Eudtice of the same State. Also he is a grandson of William W.

Corcoran, who gave the beautiful Cor- eoren art gallery and the Lioulse Home to Washington and who endowed two professorships at the University of Vir-, gtnla. IK 1M be married Edith Livingston Morton, eldest daughter of the Hon. Levi P. Morton, formerly Vice President under President Harrison. I'nquestionably It Is in Mrs.

Eustlce that Washington finds Ila greatest Interest of all those directly or Indirectly connected with the plans for the Inauguration ceremonies. Ifrm. Eustlce Is a strikingly handsome yqrnx. -wmnan. tall, graceful, with great sJwBsoyes and light brown hair shot through with glints of copper that Titian A OeUghted to paint.

She Is a woman of BrMseh grace and charm of manner, is widely read and has herself written sev-. erel books, and above all else. Is most admired tor her extensive charities. She has three children two daughters and a KHt. Her tether, who previeusly had been In Congress and Amhassader to France under President Arthur, was 4 years old when he came to Washington as Pre si dent Harrison's Vice President, but be "-had married a second and young wife and Mrs.

Eustlce was the eldest child of the second marriage. In those Vice Presidential days she was Just a little, girl ia short frocks and braids down her back. Her father Is tremendously fond of her, ,5 and It Is because Washington Is her per- snenent home, more than for any other reason, that Mr. Morton has chosen to return here to make bis residence. Since Jnis retirement from public life Mr.

Morton has been living in New Tork, but for several months past he has been in supervising the complete re-bulldlng of his residence. The Morton residence originally cost S100.000 and was i the Russian Embassy during the days when the Countess Marguerite Cassini Xtiece of the Ambassador and inseparable companion of Alice Roosevelt, held her brilliant Washington sway. Later It was tho home of Senator Ellhu Root when he was Secretary of State, and still later the "4 John Hays Hammonds made It famous for their extensive hospitalities. i -tM the newspapers and In Washlng-- ton small talk there has been much dis-Cusoion as to the part Mrs. Eustice will 'play In the roall phase of the Inaugural program.

There has been bandied about psetty generally the phase that she will bo; "first lady of the land for an hour." That grows out, of course, of the assumption that there will be a grand march -to open the Inaugural ball and that the President may lead It with her. To be sure, even If such should be the arrangement It requires a tremendous "i strength of Imagination to see wherein that would make her "first lady." even If for a minute that title inherently belongs to the President's wife and no scheme of things possibly could shift it for an Instant. Bo far as a grand march Is concerned, if there should be a grand march, as the A Blessing to Victims Of "Sore Feet" Agony The following Is absolutely the surest Msd quickest cure known, to science for SH foot ailments: "FHssolve two table-4peonfuls Caloclde compound In tMslB of warm wateV.

Breech, Mayor of Cleburne. taart center In the State what It may be today. It is organized and unanimous for the future development of the town. It has ceased to look upon public affairs as the political problems of the men temporarily In office. It has taken over the waterworks and supplied a new plant, planned for the Cleburne of 20 years hence as a more economical venture than the tiding over of a problem 'of waste and loss, to be Inherited by the next set of officers to take the reins.

As if by mutual consent It has cast off the burden of dual and duplicating telephones and so saved the taxpayers, forced formerly to pay two telephone bills, a sufficient sum to meet interest and provide a sinking fund against the cost of paving the streets. The story of Cleburne is closely allied with that of the career of Mayor C. W. Breech, once an oil driller at Beaumont and In the South Texas He strikes to the truth of things Just as be used to send the drill deep into the wealth producing sand. Mr.

Breech was elected tha city council In 1908 and found the records were being kept In a dry goods box. Ha wanted a vault and the city could not stand the expense. Interest on bonds was being paid in an Irregular way. The credit of the city was not as good as it might have been had money been forwarded to the designated banks to meet the fixed charge on civic loans instead of compelling bond holders to collect through the Cleburne banks, whloh honored coupons and collected Interest from the city on top of the Interest the formal securities carried. Mr.

Breech was made chairman of the finance committee. The drouth came. The city waterworks was in a sad plight. Most every one' went thirsty or took a trip to Fort Worth. In those days Cleburne did not stir as It does today.

In May, 1910, C. W. Breech became mayor. The almost immediate Uetuno Donas to meet an emergency CLEBURNE PROGRESS- ING AT A RAPID GAIT Largely Dne to the Clear Headed Business Methods of the Mayor, C. W.

Breech, Who Has Planned Many Improvements. tPw" PtiuU one of no favor, special or political, and one of business expediency. Those who at first protested went thirsty and then came to the reasonable consideration of the regulation. Now there are no pro-testa. Bow Mayor Breech handles the affairs of Us etty Is illustrated his treatment of a ease In which the wealthiest man In town failed to pay the dog tax.

The little fnaxy pup was brought In by the dog catcher and a few minutes afterward the telephone rang. The most influential man In the community was angry. The Mayor said little but listened. The next morning the citizen appeared at the City HalL "What do you mean by having your man pick up my dog when he was allowed to run outside the yard for just a few minutes he demanded. "Without a dog tagr Innocently Inquired the Mayor.

It was admitted. "Enter a fine for failure to pay dog tax," ordered the Mayor, who is also Judge of the Corporation Court, as he turned to his clerk. "And, by the way," he continued, addressing the banker, "you'd better stop on the way out and buy a tag." The fine was $1 end the dog tax was $1.50. The news spread rapidly. No one had ever heard of such a proceeding.

The richest man In Cleburne had been made to abide by the ordinances and the poorest admitted to himself that he ought not to complain against doing the same thing. Even the one who was fined admitted the justice of the Mayor's position. Since then there has been no complaint against paying In advance for water or for any other service. "If you show delinquent discrimination once," explains Mayor Breech, "you are lost Afterwards you will have to discriminate always and that means a waste of money as well as a waste of efficiency and finally failure. What Is more, the man who gets something without paying for It never appreciates what he gets.

We are trying to make Cleburne a model town. That It can never be unless It ha. a model city Government. theft te horrible anA nsn erlna Csecerst tonight will surely straighten ye out by rooming a 10-oaat box will keep your head dear, stomach sweet; Uver- and hewels regular and make you feel cheerful' end bully for months.

C. MUNN CO. Successors to Mistrot-Munn Company actual use during Us lifetime rather than against the present condition only and the possible showing of a temporary economy when Mr. Breech steps out of office. He, does not care to leave a heritage of waste to his suocesaors.

It is the same in his development of the plans for the sewer system. The paving will go down on a showing of actual economy In use rather than In Immediate cost. Just as the Southwestern Telephone Company, by its commercial engineers, studies plans to Install underground conduit and plant to meet conditions in anticipation and so save the coat of tearing up streets and rebuilding as every addition Is made necessary, so Mayor Breech and his administration in Cleburne have tried to install their public facilities. This Is a departure In city Government. But Cleburne Is not altogether satisfied.

If, Contrary to usual experiences In which business men have been forced to take the initiative and demand -charter improvement for up-to-date theories of municipal Government, the Mayor and City Council have taken the lead In this. Every successful system of municipal administration has been studied and the copies of charters for almost every progressive American city are upon Hie desk of Mayor Breech today. When the new charter is finally drafted and submitted it will contain the application of every tried and proven experiment appropriate to conditions in Cleburne. Here, if plans materialise, one of the model communities of Texas will take the place of a shop-town and a railroad junction point. But the work of reawakening Cleburne to the realization ot Its opportunities has not only been constructive.

It has been administrative. The business theory applied to the expenditure of money have been applied In every branch of city Government. In this city where the water rate Is so low It is necessary for a citizen to call at the City Hall and pay his water tax In advance Just as he pays his telephone bill: Delinquency means that the service will be cut off. The rule Is enforced as Men and Boys' Store term usually applies, at the Inaugural ball of the Incoming Presldnt Wilson, a new precedent would be established. In times past the Inaugural ball has been well under way when the Presidential party arrived.

The President and farty are welcomed by the Chairman of nauguraUon and his wife, and they proceed immediately to rooms set apart a suite for the President and his party and a suite for the Vice President and his party. Very shortly after their arrival preceded by the chairman and his wife, the President and bis wife immediately followed by the Vies President and his wife, proceed to promenade, making the entire circuit of the ball room, receiving as they go, greetings from large percentage of the Thousands who throng the place. This promenade completed, the party proceeds to boxes reserved for them in the balcony and from these they -Tevlew' the ball, so to speak, and hold informal levees, remaining, usually, about two hours. An old newpape account of the first Inaugural ball attended by Mrs. Eustice, then little Edith Morion, when her father came into office with President Harrison, recounts that "the five little daughters of Vice President Morton occupied a box attended by their nurse and governess.

They were all in simple white frocks without ornament." 0PT0METB.ICAL BILL. Efforts to be Made to Have a Real Law Enacted. (From the Dallas News.) The officers of the Texas Optical Association have announced that they will this winter renew the effort made two years ago to persuade the Legislature to enact a law regarding the practice of optometry, and the San Antonio Express, commenting on this announcement, remarks that "bme reasonable restriction along this line is desirable." It Is indeed. More than half the States, if not quite three-fourths of them, have taken measures to forbid the fitting of glasses by men who are not competent to fit them, with the result that Texas is af-. flicted with a larger number of this kind of fakers than would be attracted to it if the country at large were their permitted field.

They are of all degrees, from the man who, without any knowledge of the eye or the laws of refrac tion, advertises himself as an optician or optometrist, to the intterant peddler who walks the highways and byways with a tray of spectacles strapped around his ne k. Of course, it Is wellnlgh incredible that any sensible person should entrust so important a matter as that of fitting glasses to men who have neither reputation nor compunction to make them responsible, but that, nevertheless, they do. Is testified by the fact that large numbers of these fakers seem to flourish In the Slate. 4 WOULD IMPEACH SHERIFF. Alabama Officer Charged With Allowing Prisoner to Suicide.

(Associated Press TUSCALOOSA, January 4 Vrs. Amelia Gayle (Jorgas, mother of William C. Oorgas. health officer of the Panama Canal Zone, died here today in her 8th year. Mrs.

i-jorgas was lor 24 years brarian at tne university 01 Alabama. W. The Store That Grows strated the reform in financial management brought about while he was chairman of the finance committee. The city received a bonus of 12.53 per $100, and the expenditure of $175,000 gave Cleburne a waterworks which offers an almost unlimited supply to consumers at a charge of $1.60 per quarter, as In contrast to the $3.75 paid In Temple and the $4 In Dallas. Every device to cut down actual expense of the supply per unit to the people of Cleburne was Incorporated In a plant with a- capacity of 900,000 gallons a day, one-thlnl over the actual average consumption.

The machinery was so designed and installed as to leave room for additional boilers and pumps as the city grows. Meanwhile, Cleburne, as a city of many children, demanded improvements in the school system. The Issuance of bonds to the amount of $150,000 met the situation and the administration did not spend money on towers and elaborate ornamental designs. Plans were secured for a high school, in which the rooms would be well lighted and in which every condition of modern sanitation might be met. Such a building now stands as "a monument to common sense In public work.

The electric street railway was built and the Congressman from -the district commenced to look to his laurels. Cleburne received a magnificent postofnee building. Then the County Commissioners did their part with the contract for a new courthouse. The banks fell Into line with the promise of the. fine of floe building now soon to be erected.

Cheap water gave Cleburne green lawns and gardens. A public spirit was created and the two commercial organizations Joined hands for the clealiness and the Invitation of attractive surroundings to invite Industry and trade. Old homes were painted and new ones commenced to arise In every Quarter. A country club was organised and an attractive club house built. But the work was only be ran.

The paving plans had assumed tha point of positive announcement since axmen have chopped the remaining poles of the duplicating telephone system from the streets and the front foot assessment plan has been adopted. But Mayor Breech Is unwilling to see pavement placed until after he has given the city an up-to-date drainage and sewerage system. He has figured out that he can save to the city within a few short years the cost of the school house built at an expenditure of $150,000. Experts have studied the conditions in Cleburne. It will cost $181,000 to install such a plant as will combine economy with the probable needs of IS years to come.

Just now it oos'ts a resident of Cleburne $10 a year for sewer connection at his home. At business houses the rate Is higher. The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company, at Its exchange, pays three times as much to get rid of the used water as It does for the water to be drained. By expenditure of the sum named In the development of an adequate system of sewage, the cost per resident will be reduced and sn actual saving may be made in IB years of more than might be realised from a high license against saloons. Cleburne Is a dry town.

In all the Improvements so far mads strict business principles have been followed. Before a dollar was spent on the waterworks Mayor Breeeh, an expert well man himself, brought not only hydraulic but commercial engineers to Cleburne to determine exactly what had to be done to provide -an adequate supply and to Ox a reasonably certain seals for the economic Installation of plant as figured against the probable fntore of the efty. The BMUJhlnery was tamed agamst Its Cleburne, under the magic touch of an approved business policy In the management of the city', has become one of the live communities of Texas. Given a water' supply and made secure against such drouth conditions as prevailed three years ago, fixed Arm In Its financial credit by the administration of affairs. It 'has sprung forward as any city will when tried and true men band together to work In harmony for the welfare of all rathr than the Individual advantage of The city Is not the simple railway lunation It has previously been painted.

It is more than the site of the Santa Pe hops. It has reached out Into the surrounding country that once looked upon It as a possible competing market In a small way. Industries have been established. New buildings are either In course of construction or definitely planned. The streets will soon be paved; the drainage system.

In contrast to present conditions, put under such an arrangement as will make It cheaper for a resident to empty his bathtub than it 14 to fill it. A new county courthouse, for which a Houston concern has the contract. Is rising from the City Square in steel and granite and concrete. The principal corner on the down town streets Is fixed as the site for such an office building as would do credit to any community, he survey of the commercial engineers of the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company shows that the smallest proportion of houses are vacant to be found In any similar town In Central Texas. The citlxens are at work to finance a company for the erection of a modern hotel.

Within the past three years a complete street railway system has been built, and within the last three months the ln-terurban has been opened to Fort Worth. The line will probably be extended so as to link Hlllsboro and Cleburne, and surveys of the surrounding country in every direction have been made to determine the economic problem of the construction of still other fnterurban lines to different important points. There are riches, cities than Otobora in Texas. There are many eommunltles In which the proportion of millionaires and wealthy men Is greater, but there are none where the opportunities presented by the scientific cultivation of the soil and the businesslike cultivation of trade have been more closely silled with the awakening touch of a business administration of city affairs. The sandy soil produces peanuts and fruit and truck.

Cleburne has established the largest peanut mill In Texas, and some day that will mean pigs, plenty of them, at a price as great per head as the value of a bale of cotton. By the adoption of a liberal though a regulative policy toward capital, and all that capital means, an lnterurban has made possible the 'quick and economical transportation of fruit and vegetables and dairy products; the delivery of goods from the Cleburne stores at the platforms in front of hundreds of farm houses. The little city which once laid all claim to distinction upon the Industries of the Santa Fe Railroad has not been annexed to Fort Worth by the building or the electric transportation Una By a careful canvass of the business men it has been found that farmers come further to trade In Cleburne now than they did before. Tha stores suit them; the merchants they know; the banks have been able to maintain their ascendancy. All civic and business problems resolve themselves Into the analysis of the character of the men who happen to be involved.

Cleburne met the crucial period of its existence as a city as nsw theories and different practices were sur-planted In the minds of Its cHlsenshlp for those which have made every impor- BAD TASTE, SICK HEADACHE, BILIOUSNESS, CONSTIPATED furred tongue, bad taste. sallow skin and miserable headaohes escse from torpid liver and oossttpated bowels, whloh cause your stomach to become filled with undigested food, whloh sours and ferments like garbage In a swill barrel.
