There will be no resort to the courts. The duke takes the money the daugh- ter of the Vanderbilt family offers him and they separate. The papers have been drawn up, signed and sealed. It costs the duchess $100,000 a year to be rid of her ducal husband. That THE DUCHESS OF MABLBOROUGH. District Attorney Still in Office at San Francisco. San Franeisco, Oct. 29.—After a day #f tremendous excitement District At torney Langdon, who was dismissed from office by Acting Mayor Gallagher, 1s appurently in a victorious position and has gained a temporary advantage over the city officials and politicians whom he had announced he intended to have indicted for felonies and mis: demeanors. An attorney representing Langdon appeared before Superior Judge Sea: well and obtained an order temporar- {ly restraining “Boss” Abe Ruef, whom the acting mayor appointed to succeed Langden, from interfering with the officials or affairs of the district at- torney's office, Judge Seawell set the case for hear- ing next Friday.

INFATUATED WITH WOMAN { NEW YORK TRUST COMPANY OF- FICIAL KILLS YOUTHFUL COM- PANION AND SUICIDES. New York, Oct. 29.—Louis G. Hamp- :| ton, aged sixty, assistant secretary of the United States Trust company of this. city, shot and killed Victoria I. Taczkow, a beautiful young woman, in the Hotel Griffou in West Ninth street and then committed suicide, Hampton was ‘Wfatuated with the woman and they ‘had been seen together many times during the past month. They had been at the hotel where the tragedy occurred for twenty-four hours. Whether or not the tragedy {p the incume she settles upon him in the agreement. Inasmuch as the duke, thanks to ‘Vanderbilt generosity, has an income of $50,000 a year it is believed he will be able to keep the wolf from the doors of Blenheim palace. Duchess Retains Children. The duchess retains possession of the two children, the Marquis of Blandford and Lord Ivor Spencer- Churchill, who are nine and eight years old respectively. The duke, of course, retains Blenheim, the historic family home of the Churchills, while for the time at least the duchess will keep their town house—Sutherland house—as her home. The duchess is now in Paris. Not only King Edward but the whole Marlborough family has worked ear- nestly to prevent the separation of the duke and duchess, but without effect. People intimately acquainted with the Marlborough household intimate that the friction became more acute owing to the slighting, unsympathetic attitude of the duke since the duchess’ deafness . became more pronounced. She made frequent visits to specialists on the Continent for treatment and the duke habitually remained behind, en- loying the gay life of the metropolis. According to Reynolds’ Newspaper the duke, In the opinion of the duch- ess, paid greater attention than neces- sary to a young girl friend of his wife's. The duchess has the warmest sym- pathy of every one in London con- versant with the situation. Since her arrival here as a bride eleven years 20 she has made herself most pop- alar, She has been an active sup- was the result of a pact between the man and woman to die together has not been determined, but the circum- stances seem to show that the young woman had agreed to die with her companion. Hampton leaves a wife and two childen. Miss Taczkow, who was twenty-nine years of age, lived with her father and invalid mother. She was cmploydd in a Fifth avenue de- partment store. The United States Trust company, of which L. G. Hampton was assistant secretary, is one of the largest and strongest trust companies in New York. Ex-Secreta Lyman J. Gage was {ts president until recently and on his retirement Edward W. Sheldon was elected president and Mr. Hamp- ton for some time acted as secretary. According to Dr. Lehane, the cor- oner’s physician, there is evidence that Miss Taczkow made a desperate strug- gle for her life, as the left side of her face, extending under the left ear, bore traces of having been held forcibly in the grip of a man’s hand and Dr. Lehane is of the opinion that Hamp- ton tried to hold Miss Taczkow while he fired one of the shots. RECLUSE BURIED HIS WEALTH. Securities Worth $50,000 Found After Aged Man's Death, Winona, Minn.,, Oct. 29.—Notes, mortgages, certificates of deposit and other personal property worth thou- sands of dollars have been dug up on the farm of Lemuel Hill, an aged her- mit of Pleasant Hill, who died last week in a local hospital.

A party was or- ganized and much time was spent in digging before the cache of the hoard was uncovered, No will was left and the property, which will be worth at least $50,000, probably will be divided among his two brothers and a sister.

REPEAT OFFER TO THE SWITCHMED ASSERT ADVANCE OF TWO CENT¢ AN HOUR I8 ONLY CONCES- SION POSSIBLE, Chicago, Oct. 29.—The railroad: bave informed Grand Master Hawley of the Switchmen’s union that the de mands of the men for an eight-hout day and an increase in wages would be refused. The offer of an increase of 2 cents an hour, which the railroads have already made to the switchmen was repeated, but the men were told that this would be all that could be obtained. The refusal of the demands of the switchmen was also made to apply tc all other organizations of railroad em: ployes which have of late presented demands for shorter hours or in creased ‘wages, It was made clear in the reply to the switchmen that the requests of the Brotherhood of Rail way Trainmen, to which a reply was asked by Nov. 1, will be refused. Grand Master Hawley has called a meeting of the switchmen, but no strike action will be taken until a ref- erendum vote has been taken. QUIT SOLICITING BUSINESS. New York Central Agents Ordered to Hunt Empties. Chicugo, Oct. 29.—Orders have been issued by the traffic department of the New York Central lines west of Buf- falo instructing all agents and solic- ltors to cease soliciting business, as the roads are unable to handle what comes to thém naturally. These em- ployes have been directed to hunt for freight cars. Accordingly between 150 and 200 men are now devoting all of their time to tracing freight cars belonging to the New York Central lnes. Never in the history of Western roads_was the freight congestion so greaf¥s now. It is reported that the Northern Pacific has at least 10,000 cars which it is unable to ‘move, so great has the offered business become. Other roads in the Northwest also are in bad shape, one of the main reasons for congestion being the abnormal movement of lumber. VICTORY FOR STANDARD OIL. Ohio Attorney General Loses in Suit to Collect Taxes. Columbus, O., Oct. 29.—Attorney General Ellis has been defeated in his fight against the oil trust in a de- cision handed down by Judge Dillon in the common pleas court. -The Man- hattan Oil company, which is under- stood to be a part of the Standard Oil company, was sued by the attorney general for fines amounting to $270, 000, this method being taken instead of trying to oust the company from the state by ouster suits. The state claimed the above amount under the ‘Willis law. The corporation admitted that it had not paid the tax, but claimed it was exempt. The case came up for settlement on motion for Judgment and was decided against the attorney general. STORM ON THE LAKES, Promises to Be One of the Worst of the Season.

After being out only fifteen minutes the jury in the United States | court found the Sheridan-Kirk Con- tracting company guilty of violating the law in the construction of the big Ohio river dam at Fernbank, nine miles below this city. The trial was hotly contested by the defense. Man- agers of employment agencies testified that it was impossible to get men for the pay that would be given them for an eight-hour day. Several weeks ago over 200 of the company’s men did not appear for duty and the company was rendered practically helpless. Before the gov- ernment decided to make a test case workmen on the dam and locks were permitted to work as many hours as they pleased. The majority worked from ten to twelve hours per day and were paid at the rate of 20 cents per hour. No sooner had the hours been cut than the laborers began to leave, claiming that they could make only $1.60 a day on the dam and could make more elsewhere.

Almogt uny dish which bad to re. ommend It rarity, costliness, indigest! bility and, to our way of thinking, nas- tiness was sure to take with the Ro- man epicure. And if he were unable ‘to made it costly any other way he would add powdered preclous stones or gold dust. Nero dined on one occasion from a peacock which was sprinkled with diamond dust, and specimens of that bird dressed with gold or with crushed pearls were by no means a rarity at the triclinia of the moneyed Romans. A dish of parrots’ tongues was a great dellcacy. But a dish of parrots’ tongues which had been capa- ble, when in their proper place, of framing words was of almost incal- culable value, which increased in a di- rect ratlo with the vocabularies of the defunct parrots. Another bird for which the Roman epicure was in the habit of paying fabulous prices was the phenecoptrix, which is believed to have been the ptarmigan. It had its home in the most northerly parts of Bceotland and Norway, and as this made it hard to get at the Romans ap- preciated it all the more and put it in the same rank with ostriches, buz- zards and peacocks. The tongues of these birds were specially prepared, to- gether with the brains, and took the place which a hors d’oeuvre would now take. The Words on a Cigar Box. ‘What mean the various words which are stamped on the lid and sides of a clgar box? These are not mere fancy names, but terms actually descriptive of the cigar. On the lid s the name of the cigar. The front of the box de- scribes the shape and size, as “con- chas,” “relna,” “regalias,” which state the shape, and ‘“perfecto Infantes,” ‘“princesses,” which signify the size. These may be combined, as “conchas speciales,” “conchas finas,” to state both shape and size. At the back of the box, where the lid turns over, is stamped the quality of the cigar—“su- perfina,” “fina,” “flor,” “superior” and “bueno,” leing the terms in the de- scending scale. The color of the cigar is declared on the right hand side or end of the box. “Claro” signifies the lightest colored, “colorado eclaro” rath- er dark, “colorado” dark, “colorado ma- duro” darker, ‘“maduro” very dark, “oscuro” extremely dark, “negro” dark- est.

New York, Oct. 29.—After Feb. 1 next the American Bank Note com- pany will manufacture all United States postage stamps. Under a con- tract just made public the concern must deliver 27,000,000 stamps daily six times a week. The American Bank Note company made the first postage stamps used by the government and held the contract up to thirteenn years ago. At that time the government went into the business itself by manufacturing the Columbian issue and down to this day the bureau of printing and engraving has turned out all stamps. According to Warren L. Green, president of the bank note company, the government decided to employ a private institution again because it can do the work cheaper. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.

General Picquart’s Policy as French Minister of War, Parls, Oct. 20.—The attitude of Gen- eral Picquart, the defender of Dreyfus and now minister of war, towards his old persecutors in the army was de- fined when an officer who was in- volved in the conspiracy to practically banish Picquart to the border of the Bahara entered the minister’s office and began to stammer out a statement on the subject. Picquart stopped him, saying: I know only one thing and that is that you have always been an excel- lent officer. You may be sure that I shall not forget that.” General Plcquart has initiated his direction of the ministry of war by ordering back to their regular duties all soldiers who were detailed for light work in and about the war min- istry.

But if you see it all the time coming down in the same place and at the same time getting brighter and brighter, why, that indi- cates that it's coming straight toward you, and this is the time, son, when you want to make for home or get in your sail and make everything snug till the storm passes over.”—Exchange.

An Irishman once defined the human head as “a bulbous excrescence, of spe- clal use to many as a peg for hanging a hat on, as a barber’s block for sup- porting wigs, as a target for shooting at when rendered conspicuous by a shining helmet, as a snuffbox or a chat- terbox, as a machine for fitting into a halter or guillotine, as a receptacle for freaks, fancies, follies, passions, preju- dices, predilections—for anything.
