4 PERSONAL AND SOCIAL NEWS MRS. BRUMBAUGH QUITE AT HOME Tnste of New Mistress of the ] Executive Mansion in Evi dence in Refurnishings It's quite a change from the privacy of home life to that of the mistress of the Executive Mansion, hut, Mrs. Mar tin G. Brumbaugh, the "first lady of Pennsylvania" Is going to be fully equal to the demands made on her by society. Of medium height, lots of soft brown hair, most becomingly ar ranged, expressive eyes, rich coloring and a manner both charming and gracious, she will attract and hold a | wide circle of friends ,ln her new home. Mrs. Brumbaugh Is a college woman, graduating first from Juniata College at Huntingdon, her home town, and afterward In the English i course at Drexel. She Is Interested in j literature and music, outdoor sports, i especially golf and has always wanted ( a home in the country. The Gover- j nor says "she has rare commonsense" i and this added to a great love of j beauty has been useful to her In the ; 1 remodeling and rearranging of the Executive Mansion, much of the work j belnir done directly under her super- j vision. A lover of animals, Mrs. Brum baugh has brought with her from! Germantown her dog, Fritz, a St. j Charles Spaniel, who Is full of clever tricks and most kindly disposed to ward all callers on his mistress. The mansion, in its new garb, will be a delightful surprise to the people ! of the State, for It Is more like a real home than a. State exhibit. The large drawlngroom with Its tapestried walls in soft pastel shades and the furniture coverings to harmonize, in wistaria or pluni brocades, Is most beautiful and the chandeliers have tall crystal can dles Instead of the heavy ornate glass shades. The Colonial stairway, run ning the entire four floors Is more at tractive than the heavy woodwork • used before and the State dlnlngroom with the dark mahogany wood and '• raftered ceiling Is stately and digni fied. New bedrooms have been added . for the comfort of guests, hallways [ cut through on the third floor and 1 passages from one room to another closed on the second, making Mrs. , Brumbaugh's apartments more pri vate and prettier. All the old furnish ings have been utilized as far as pos sible and the arrangements through- 1 out the mansion are artistic and com- I fortable. Of course, it is rather early to say anything definite about entertaining, but both the Governor and his wife ■want to make friends as early as pos sible with their Harrisburg neighbors and will do their full share in the way of getting acquainted. Mrs. Brumbaugh will probably have two afternoon "At Homes" betore Lent begins, the dates to be an nounced through the daily papers. No ' Invitations will be issued for these events to which the women of the city i are always welcome. Mrs. Brum baugh loves to entertain in a quiet way, having in Just a few friends to dinner or luncheon, but there will be the larger receptions and entertain ments always demanded by society of the Chief Executive and his wife. The Governor's lady says she has never declared for suffrage, although she is most interested in the cause and thinks it would benefit women largely. ' As for card playing, she has "nev£r had time to learn bridge" and this has been the case with many other society diversions. She Is largely interested In charities, usually contributing through associations, taking up the j work as they have organized It. Everyone Is going to like Mrs. Brumbaugh for a neighbor, and Har risburg folks, the friendliest in the country, are glad she has come here j to live, even for the three remaining years of the Governor's term. Quite ! a number of the older residents of the city are arranging dinners complimen tary to the Governor and his bride and they will attend dnnces and club events as guests of honor. CORA LEE SNYDER.

KOTUR'S FATE IN JURORS' HANDS [Continued From First I*a(?<■■] I attitude that has been so noticeable ever since he tirst stood before the j bar to answer for the crime. Tho defense closed Its testimony half an hour after court convened this afternoon and the Commonwealth of- j fered but one witness In rebuttal. This was in reiteration of the Common- I wealth's contention that Kotur had ! cursed the man he afterward slew. Ex-Recorder O. G. Wickersham, who with S. Duncan Wylle, is counsel 1 for Kotur, finished the llnal plea to the jury just before the noon ad- ! Journnient. He pleaded that under ! no circumstances hud the State made i out Its case of murder In the first de- i gree, and that the Jury was not justl- I lied In returning a verdict even of ) murder in the second degree. With the reconvening of the ses sion this afternoon. Assistant District j | Attorney Frank B. Wickersham sum- , 1 med up the Commonwealth's side of the case. In conclusion he vigorously demanded a verdict of murder in the I first degree. The charge of Additional Law Judge S. J. M. McCarrell followed. The closing session of the Kotur j trial was devoid of high lights, al- \ though In rebuttal David P. Bakpr, court Interpreter explained In detull the ugly meaning of "ushe"—the na- ' tlve word for "pig." It was this epl- I thet that Kotur Is alleged to have hurled at Backlc the fateful night when Backlc passed Kotur's house— 1 singing. This the Commonwealth con tends led to the quarrel In which Backlc lost his life. Not only had Kotur called Backlc "pig," according to Baker, but he had heaped Insult upon Injury by sarcastically suggest ing: "Would you bite me, ushe?" One of the witnesses had to be haled into court on a capias. This was Adam Glad who said he had seen ; blood on the ground where the dead i man was found. Adum, thoroughly frightened, was brought Into court a little later. He hadn't appeared, he said, because ho didn't understand that his attendance was necessary. The sudden departure from the courtroom of Novokovlc, the State's chief witness, created a momentary ripple when ex-ltecorder Wickersham In his summing up address for the de fense accused the witness of lying on the witness stand. It died away, however, when It was discovered that Sheriff W. W. Caldwell was merely taking Novokovlc to Jail for luncheon. During his address ex-ltccorder Wickersham frequently and enthusias tically pounded on the Jury railing with the bloody hammer which the State had offered in evidence. The hammer, the Commonwealth contended, had been used by Kotur to oatter Backlc's helpless head and face, "until tho loosened bones rattlcl In , his skull." Midvale Company Also Bidding to Get Penna. Steel? Philadelphia, Feb. 16.—According to one report In financial circles yester day, the contest for the Pennsylvania Steel holdings of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Reading interests Is not between William H.

LUSITANIA NOTE IS ACCEPTABLE [Continued Worn First Pago.] ally would be acceptable to the j United States. When Count Von Bernstorff came from Mr. Lansing's office after a visit of loss than ten minutes, he said: | "Gentlemen, I refer you to the Secretary of State." ; Almost at the same time" Mr. Lans [ Inn sent out this message: "I have nothing to say." Count Von Bernstorff presented formally the draft of the agreement, and it is understood was Informed It could not be accepted as linal until it had been submitted to President j Wllscn. The indications were, It seemed satisfactory to Secretary 1 Laming. 1 As now drawn and formally signed Iby the German ambassador, the agreement is in reply to the last Am -1 erican note. It begins with reference to the formal assurances given by Germany last September that submarines would j not sink unresisting liners without I warning and regard for the safety of life aboard, and that the instructions Ito submarine commanders were so definite as to allow no misunder ! standing. It then states that the sub marine warfare around the British ; Ifles was a reprisal for what Is characterized as "the inhumane" 1 blockade of Great Britain to starve the central powers, and then promises indemnity for Ameripans lost on the ■' Lusltunla and expresses "profound regret" for their deaths. I "It goes on to say that the German government recognizing liability for their loss, makes the proposals con : talned in the draft submitted to-day and then goes on to deal with the question of reprisals against others than enemy subjects. The change ! j which the Berlin Foreign Office has 1 made In the wording of the latter pro posal has not been publicly disclosed, but. from the air of optimism which ' prevailed to-day there was a general • Impression that Its chances of delay -1 , lng the negotiations were slight. 1 i The Lusltanla negotiations have ap ! proached the settling point so many 1 times, only to be delayed by new de i 1 velopments, that administration offi ' clals to-day were not ready to say that i 1 the final draft was entirely acceptable, for, they explained, no one but Presl : ! dent Wilson himself, could decide , I that. The fact that the agreement : ; before the last revision was "substan tially In accord" with the views of . .the President leads them to a confident • belief that the long controversy sur ■ 1 rounded by so many dangerous per r plexltlcs was at last coming to a : j close. ; Germany Wants to Know Why U. S. Suppressed Wireless Announcements Washington, Feb. 16. The Ger man government through Count Von Bernstorff, Its ambassador here to day formally asked the United States > to explain why the American wireless 1 censors at Sayvllle suppressed the offi cial announcement of the German > Admiralty of the sinking In the North • Sea of the British cruiser, Arabts on i February 11.

ANEASYWAYTOEND CATARRHFOREVER Simple Home Treatment Destroys Germs of This Dangerous Disease The reason why so many people who suffer from catarrh never seem able to get cured Is that they are con tinually seeking the momentary re lief of sprays, douching, greasy creams, ointments, etc. Such things do open up the swollen nortrlls and clear the head temporarily, besides stopping forte < a while the disgusting blowing, hawk ing, spitting and choking, but they never cure. To drive out catatrh for good you have to get down to its real cause. Catarrh Is a germ disease. The air Is always full of catarrh germs thrown off by one person and ab ' sorbed by another and when the sys tem does fall to throw oft such germs , i they find permanent lodgment In the , nose, throat and head and multiply ! rapidly. The germs of catarrh can be best i destroyed by Inhaling the pure medi cated air of Hyomel (pronounced [ Hlgh-o-me). This splendid and pow . erful combination of oil of Eucalyptus I with other healing agents has a won derful germicidal action. You breathe I Its air into your nose, throat and i lungs by means of a small hard rub . i ber Inhaler which H. C. Kennedy and other leudlng dt-ugglsts here In Har ! rlsburg and vicinity supply with every I treatment. This medicated air Is cer -5 tain death to* the germs of catarrh and i when the germs are destroyed the ca l tarrh with all Its disagreeable symp , toms will stop. Even two or three mln > utes' use will give refreshing relief, > ! while, If you will use It two or three 1, times a day for a few weeks It will , completely banish catarrh and every ; I symptom of catarrh. As Hyomel is r. pleasant to breathe and Is always sold by druggists everywhere with u posi ..' tlve guarantee of success results or P • money back, surely no catarrhal suf . | ferer should go long before trying this ! 1 simple home remdy.—Advertisement. i A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY : IF CONSTIPATED ...
