I'm afraid my crown isn’t on straight!—Lou Dillon. — Pretty soon those fast pacers will be going a mile in no time or better. Woman's greatest concession lies in forgiving a man for her own offense. In her energetic searca for trouble Hungary appears to be getting quite warm. Victims of hay fever might be per- manently cured of it by going to the Adirondacks. Alive to the exigencies of the times, the Russians have just discovered a new way to commit murder. What is the difference between Langley and Santos-Dumont? Never mind sending in the answer. Grim old Oom Paul, tragic wanderer from the Transvaal, is in lonely retire- ment at Mentone—a sad reminiscence. Prince Alert has taken time by the forelock and given it a closer haircut than it ever before received—a 1:57 clip. And now Mrs. Fish declares that Harry Lehr is “an ordinary person.” Surely this is the most unkindest cut of all! The experts to the contrary not- withstanding, we hadn’t noticed that the number of “lobsters” had percep- tibly decreased. Milwaukee and Cleveland have had flatiron buildings for years, but those cities depend on other things to make themselves famous. Persons who think that football players are all beef and brawn, with no brains should take a day off and ury to learn the signals. Poor Maj. Delmar! All he knows about his wonderful performance in equaling Lou Dillon’s record is that it made him awfully tired. Just because Sir Thomas did not have to-have an operation performed, all Chicago is talking about its won- derful health-producing climate. The child that was christened in a lions’ den will never become famous enough to be sionized again, if there is anything in the doctrine of hered- ity. y It is well that the Alaskan boundary question has come up when so many bther things are going on. Few peo- ple are asking to have it explained to them. George Vanderbilt is to leave Bilt- more because his employes pilfer. Times must be ominous when George is compelled to practice such close economy. Attorney General Finley talked for two days in the Alaskan boundary dis- pute. The United States made a great mistake in not retaining Senator Mor- gan in the case. Mr. Wanamaker observes: “Many an honest man fails because he is a poor advertiser.” Mr. Wanamaker is perfectly frank as to the secret of his own success, the we If the time ever comes when novelists form a union, perhaps shall have the Great Amalgamated | American Novel with the fifteen dif- ferent kinds of dialect. The new game law, punishing the hunter who happens to mistake a man ‘for a partridge, mey afford some con- solation to the relatives, but it will not benefit the lately deceased. The Duke of Roxburghe say: he is rich in his own right and wholly inde- pendent: of Miss Goelet’s millions. What a good time these young people will have spending each other's money. Geographer Reclus ani Aeronaut Ca- ‘puzza are rapidly preparing for their balloon voyage across the Atlantic. It is to be hoped that these daring scientists will not fall down when they are half seas over. PEST ISL Uy RET Ae ) Mr. Choate is now dean of the dip- lomatic corps in London. With. an ‘american dean of the diplomatic corps and a new American duchess added to the list every few days, how can they keep us down? Rather than wed a German count whom her mother had chosen for her, Miss Daisy Crouse of Amsterdam, N. Y., eloped with a Mr, Smith. Not every girl makes a like choice when a title of noiility dangles before her eyes. It is said to be on the program to have the assassins of King Alexander convicted and then pardoned by King Peter. The king may know a good thing when he sees it and refuse the pardon after. he has the assassins safely locked up. The backer of the enterprise to bring Patti to this country has put up $40,000 as a guaranty of his sublime faith in the memory of the people of this country for singers who may almost be said to have come down to us from a former generation.

According to information from Tke Hague, Wayne McVeagh, counsel for Venezuela and creditor nations op- posing the claims of England, Ger- mnay and Italy, saved himself from -recall by his sudden departure. The Dominican government has in- formed United States Minister Pow- ell that in view of his protest it will recall the bill now before congress providing for the neutrality of Domin- ican waters, and declaring certain harbors to be free ports.

Field of Portland, Me., died on a Santa Fe passenger train while on his way home from New Mexico. Mrs. Sherman, mother-in-law of Bradley-Martin, died at Bradley-Mar- tin’s country place at Balma Caan, in Vernshire, Scotland.

IS FJECTED BY THE POLICE ELIJAH THEN QUIETS THE RACK- ET AND SENDS THE AU- DIENCE AWAY. New York, Oct. 21.—Carrie Nation tried to butt in on Elijah at Madisgn Square last night and she was put out by the police. She made two attempts to divide the audience with Dowie. The first time Dowie addressed her with loving and kindly words and persuaded her to obey some of his Zion guards and sit down. fe The second time she persisted with such vehemence in getting into the game that she caused a smali riot. Dowie, with that generalship and ex- ecutive ability of which he is an ac- knowledged master, put down the racket and sent the audience quietly away after Carrie had been ejected. Elijah had been trying to furnish an answer to Dr. James M. Buckley’s magazine article about him, when Mrs. Nation interrupted him. With his ab- solute inability to talk continuously on any one subject he had branched off into every subject under the sun—but mostly on the Vileness of Reporters, whom he called “razor-backed swine,” and other names less printable. In the midst of one of these fits Carrie bobbed up in the center aisle, rather forward of the middle of the garden. “Doctor,” she shouted, “I want to ask you a question.” jah had never seen this dis- tinguished competitor before, and with his usual promptness, yelied back to her: “Sit down, I won't answer any questions. Guards, make that woman keep quiet.” The irresistable Carrie bobbed up and smiled in her own glad, good- natured way. “But, doctor,” she cried in a voice to be heard all over the room, “just one question.” A number of Elijah’s overseers went up to him as he ran up and down the platform shouting to the guards. One of them must have told him who the interruptor was. “I am informed,” he shouted, “that it is Carrie Nation.” Carrie Bobs Up Again. Carrie, who had been compelled to sit down, bobbed up again and courte- sied. “Yes, doctor,” she want—” “My dear Mrs. Nation,” said Dowie in his gentliest tone: “my dear sister, sit down. Please sit down. I love you, my sister, and admire your courage, though we may not approve of your methods. Nevertheless, | admire your spirit. We are glad to have you with us—and will you piease sit down, and not allow yourself to be used by those who have organized to break up these meetings?” Carrie blushed and sat down. Elijah went on with his remarks on Dr. Buckley and the rest of the uni- verse. He called Dr. Buckley a micro- maniac, to say nothing of denominat- ing him a liar and no gentleman. But he had no sooner finished his address than Carrie was up and screaming | again. This time there was a lot of | eried, “and I DRIVEN OUT OF CHICAGO. Leave the City. . Chicago, Oct. 21. — Labor troubles, culminating in the strike of Fran¥lin Union of Pressfeeders, have driven one of the biggest map publishing houses in the country out of Chicago. After being compelled yesterday to re- sort to the courts for an injunction order against the striking pressfeed- ers, the officers of Rand, McNally & printing plant from the city. Recent labor troubles caused the officers of the company to abandon their plan to erect a $1,000,000 building here and brought them to consider the proposi- tion of moving from Chicago, but it was not until the pressfeeders put in demands for an increase of from $2 to $3 a week in wages that the removal plan took on a serious aspect. Of- ficials of the company said last night that no time would now be lost in get- ting the pargest part of the establish- ment out of Chicago. TOWN IN STATE OF TERROR. Total Destruction Threatened If Trib- ute Is Not Paid. Indianapolis, Oct. 21.—The people of Montgomery, Davies county, are in a hysteria of excitement over a threat- ened dynamiting of the remaining houses ofsthe town and some of the citizens are leaving and will take up permanent residences in other places. Some six months ago an anonymous demand was made on the citizens to leave $2,000 in a designated place, or the town would be burned. The de- mand was ignored and nearly all the business part of the town was de- stroyed by fire. A month ago another demand was made for $2,000, and this, too, was ignored, and was followed by a destructive fire of incendiary origin. Merchants and other business men were preparing to rebuild, but yester- day a third letter was received, say- ing that if the town is rebuilt before the $2,000 is left at a place designated in the letier it will be blown up with dynamite. TO WED MRS. MOLINEUX. Wallace D. Scott of Sioux Falls Said to Be Making Plans. Sioux City, lowa, Oct. 21.—The pos- itive statement has been made here by intimate friends that Wallace D. Scott of Sioux Falls will marry Mrs. Roland B. Molineux. In Sionx Falls no other view is entertained. When Mr. Scott, who is of the firm of Kitt- ridge, Winas & Scott, employed by Mrs. Molineux as counsel in her di- vorce proceedings, became, noticeably friendly to Mrs. Molineux, Sioux Falls became suspicious.

MAJORITY CLOSES THE AFFAIR BY SIGNING BOUNDARY DECISION. UNITED STATES GETS I ALL ARE AWARDED SUBSTANTIALLY ALL THE TERRITORY IN DISPUTE. Oct. 21.. —= The ~ en- py of the Alaskan boun- dary decision was signed at 2:10 p. m. yesterday. The Canadians declined to sign the award. They submitted their contrary opfin- ions to the tribunal so as to go offi- cially on record, and, while they de- ned to sign the award, they signed (he maps agreed on by the majority. In consequence of the attitude main- tained by the Canadian commissioners, Lord Chief Justice Alversione decided not to hold the proposed public meet- ing of the Alaskan boundary commis- sion, but to hand its decision to Messrs. Foster and Sifton, respective agents of the American and Canadian governments. Canadians Are Bitter. The Canadians connected with the- case are very bitter. Telegrams from Premier Laurier and other prominent persons in Canada show that this sentiment is shared generally through- out the dominion. Tbe Alaskan award relating to the Portiand canal gives the United States two islands, Kannaghunut and Sitklan, commanding the entrance to the Port- Jand canal and the ocean passage to Port Sim n, and destroying the strategic value of Wales and Pearse islands, which are given to Canada. The mountain line adopted as the boundary, lies so far as the coast so as to give the United States substan- tially all the territory in dispute. The line completely clears all the bays and inlets and means access to the sea, giving the United States.a Complete Barrier London, grossed © between Canada and the sea from Portland canal to Mount St. Elias. Around the head of the Lynn canal the line follows the water shed, some- what in accordance with the present provisional boundary. The change in the Alaskan pro- cedure, due to Lord Alyerstone’s de- cision not to hold the proposed public meeting and to hand the tribunal’s decision to the American and Canadian government agents, caused much as- tonishment among those who crowded the corridors adjoining the waiting- rooms.

They claim that the just rights of Canada were ignored. award, have RUSSIA SCORES A POINT. China Said to Have Agreed to Yield Control of Manchuria to the Bear. London, Oct. 21. — The Vostotschni Vestnik, a Russian newspaper pub- lished in the Far East, asserts that M. Lessar, the Russian minister at Pe- kin, has concluded a treaty with China confirming the Russian control over Manchuria, and providing that, in the event of war arising over the treaty China and Russia will co-operate, Should China withdraw Russia will carry on the war alone, and if she 1s victorious China will Cede to her the whole of Manchuria. The Chinese civil and military officials will there- upon immediately depart from Man- churia and settle in other Chinese provinces. A dispatch to Repter’s Telegram company from Tokyo says: “The Far Eastern situation is un- ‘* altered.
