(Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Oct. 24.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—Although King Emmanuel of Italy was the guest of the French nation he did not find his stay in this capital cheap. He gave $10,00 for the Ppoor of Paris and $5,000 for the Itallan poor here. This, added to the sum he spent for Jewelry and watches he gave away as pres- ents at the ministry of foreign affairs, where he was lodged, brings the total to about $25,000, making the visit cost him over 6,000 a day. That is more than most Anveri- cans pay, even with the bill of candles in- cluded. The Paris papers caused amusement by saying that the queen of Italy, who Is a Montenegrin princess, gave audience to a deputation of Montencgrin students, al- though only bne student from Montenegro Is registered in France. This oddity is emphasized by the fact that Montenegro is represented at Parls by two consuls and the Montenegrin colony in the capital num- bers four persons, Queen Helen won the feminine hearts by her natural demcanor. She did much to help the Rue de la Palx modistes make popular green as the most modish color for trimming hats the coming season. Henry Rochefort has ralsed a great out- ory in the Intransigeant against the arbi- trary action against Individual Ifberty taken by the French government to pro- tect the king of Italy during his vislt here. His particular and loudest complaint is be- cause Police Prefect Lepine arrested more than 100 persons alleged to be suspicious characters the day before the king arrived. CLERK MIXED THE NAMES Now Man Who Desires to Marry Must Show that He Waa Born, (Copyright, 1903, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Oct. 24.—(New York World Ca- blegram—8pecial Telegram.)—The town clerk of Crauzille was thoughtless one day away back in 1878. Tortured by love or a toothache, preoccupied by debts or rendesvous, the clerk wrote in Crauszille's register: “Born, this day, a child, Eugenle Sauxanet, parents—'" Concerning the parents it matters not. The clerk should have written: “Born, a child, Bugene,” not “Pugenie. All un- conscious of the clerical error the child grew up and ever one called him Eugene. Necessarlly when he was old enough he was conscripted and served his military term, as the army s not particular about first names. Being a handsome man, a young girl fell in love with him and he with her. Everything had been arranged. Mademoiselle Marie's papa and mamma had consented, the amount of the little dot had been fixed. Pere and Mere Sauvanet were delighted. Then the wondrous marriage law of France came into play. Spinning red tape by the meter, the law examined the civil register of Crausille and discovered that Eugenle, not Eugene, Sauvanet was born that day In 1878 Eugenle to marry Marie?” asked the law, enveloping itself In red tape absolutely. Now the wedding dress is put away In lavender, mademoiselle discovers herself in tears. It remains for Hugene to prove to the law that it is Bugene and not Engenle who burns to marry, and it will take sev- ral months to prove this, thanks to the law’s red tape. SIBERIAN RAILWAY IS A FAD British Smart Set Find Trip Over New Line is Just the Thing. LONDON, Oct. %—(New York World Cablegram—8pecial Telegram.)—The latest fashionable craze among the English s to cross Russla to Asia by the Transsiberian rallway. Lady Lyster Kaye, formerly Miss Yznaga, and her husband have left with a retinue of servants and stacks of luggage and furs to make the trip. They have planned a six months' excursion, Including Japan and returning by way of San Fran- cisco. If one wants to be right up to date in British smart soclety he must do the St. Petersburg peason and the Transsiberian route, 1t one can afford the extravagant cost. The train is said to be the most luxurious thing ever designed in Europe, and the comforts of traveling on it are re- ported to be reduced to fairy tale real tion. Most Americans here want to make the trip, but they live at such a rate that they object to the time it consumes.

PARIS, Oct. 24.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—Archduke Leo- pold Balvator, a kinsman of Emperor Fran- cfs Joseph, who expects to compete in ths balloon races at the St. Louls exposition, kept a log of his recent notable flight of over 500 miles from St. Cloud, France, to a polat near Lubeck, Germany. Here it is: “‘Description of the airship: The Centaure, 1,600 cublc meters (166,600 cubic feet), plioted by his royal and imperial highness, Leo- pold Balvator, and Count Henry de la Vaux; assistant pilot, Chevalier de Corvin. Four hundred kilos (about 1,00 pounds) of ballast. “Records of the travelers: The archduke, 23 ascensions; Chevaller de Corvin, 67 ascen- slons; Count’ de la Vaux, % ascensions; total, 176 voyages in the air. “We had no determined plan. We were asking nothing better than to go as far as we could and to surpass the other three balloons which had made the ascension— I'Oubll, the Aeroclub and the Orlent. We have succeeded. “Quitting St. Cloud at 4 o'clock we leave Mont Valerien at our left and traverse the Selne at Argenteuil. At 700 meters (13,300 feet) altitude we pass along the border of the Ofse betweeen Boran and Morlaye. A 8004 wind carries us along rapidly, and at 4:40 p. m. we perceive the Aeroclub, which the Duke and Duchess d'Uses and Jaoques Faure occupy. Then we pass the Orient, plloted by Castillon de St. Victor, accompa~ nied by Don Jayme de Bourbon. Midnight—Hour of crimes. We are 180 meters (6,200 feet) above a country which appears to us hilly and wooded; no light, no life; one sleeps; it is ltke death. At 1 o'clock we pass Ems, then Hunter. The country that we have passed must be thickly inhabited; on all sides appear citles, scintillating with thousands and thousands of lights. A great city girdled with a silver river palpitates under the bal- loon basket. It is Namur an I'Bscaut. “We mount to 1,00 meters (4,000 feet), per- tectly balanced; the moon plerces the cloads, appears, laughs or weeps, but re- olces us mightily. Here we are, then, out- #ide of tHe shadows. The great luminous ‘centers become rare; we traverse silent re- glons like deserts, whers {fimense marshes extend, Hear German Songs. “On that hand there is a city which es- capes us, but it is celebrating a fets, for wo hear, under the Centaure, German music. We recdgnize the air, a very popular one beyond the Rhine; we hum {t. We pass the Elbe, the Weser; at our right s Ham- burg. We are very wide awake, for by turns we have taken a nap. ‘“We float under the rain In a thick fog; the moon and compass indicate the direc- tioa; we veer always to the northeast. The barking of dogs and crowing of cocks assure us that we are still above the earth. But we are near the sea, for we hear tho whistling of the sirens. We traverse a great, nolsy city, whose nolses grow dls- tant, cease; then the country again, and silence. A turn of a valve and we descend and {are at 200 meters (700 feet) of altitude. A valley, precipitous to a landing, presents itself; another turn of the valve and the basket comes to earth.

It is 5:50 a. m., and we ere four kilometers (two miles and a half) from the Baltie. “Had it not been for the fog we would have contlnued, and as wi ad still 140 kilos (37 pounds) of ballast, we would have gone far, -+ ’ “But we are satisfled with our race, 80 kilometers (528 miles) at sixty kilometers (thirty-seven miles) an hour.” Santos-Dumont has confided to a friend that he means to attempt to cross the English channel in a balloon.

Flotillas were chartered by thou- sands to meet him at sea on ar- rival. No gig In the navy was good enough for bringing him to shore, 8o they took the label off the barge In the museum which had never been used but by Dom Pedro and Dom Juan VII, and in that he landed, Once on land enthusiasm became delirious. |Along the 2000 miles he traveled to greet relatives and friends there was continuous cheering. On his return affairs at one time threatened to take a tragical turn. He went ashore at Pernambuco, where a #rand dinner Was offered him by the gov- ernor; the palace was invaded by the crowd, and in the crush that followed a number of persons were Infured. On San- tos-Dumont’s request the reception was in- terrupted and he had to be protected hy troops in order to get on board again. On belng asked why he had not brought an aeromotor with him he spoke of the ex- pense. ‘Thereupon a prize of $100,000 was voted by congress for an international com- petition of & course of sixteen miles, the greater part over the by of Rio. “A rather dangerous undertaking,” says Santos-Dumont, “more dangerous than at Monte Carlo, for the bay simply abounds with sharks." Lieut. Von Korwain, chief of the Aus- trian military aeronautic department, ana companion of Archduke Leopold Salvator, on leaving Paris last night for Veinna, said to the World correspondent: “I have concluded an important arrange- ment with Count de la Vaux to take part in the ballooning contest in the St. Louls exposition.

PARIS, Oct. 24.—(New York World Cable- gram—Special Telegram.)—A plot was laid to carry off the.former queen of Madagas- car during her visit to Paris, according to the newspapers. Ranavola formerly was monarch of her native island, but France sent an army there six years ago, conquered the natives and sent their deposed queen into exile in Algeria, where she has been kept in seclusion and on the most meager allowance ever since, for fear that if she were given her liberty her loyal people might rise up and make trouble. Two years ago she was permitted to come to Paris, always the city of her dreams, and where she had her gowns made when she wore a crown and had a court. But she was only allowed to stay a little while and then sent back to Africa. Not long ago she was per- mitted to go to Bouth Africa with her aunt and her little niece. The story of the plot to kidnap her was based on a fervid espousal of her cause by the “Emperor of Sahrabs,” ploturesque Generalissimo Labordesque, a noted duelist, who struts the boulevards in a scarlet cloak |and self-sufficiency. He wrote to the gov- ernment: “You allow the queen to literally dle of hunger. If you refuse to allow her a pen- sion of 60,000 francs ($12,000) I shall keep her. If you refuse I shall open a public subscription, and in a few days shall have millions." “The abdication did not take place, how- ever, and the queen returned to Africa, probably to live in an Alegrian boarding house at $6 a week, which would be about in keeping with the allowance of the gov- ernment. Ranavola eame to Parls from Vie-Sur- Cere near Auvergne, where she excited no little interest. She was accompanted by her aunt, her little niece, Marfe Loutse, and a French companion, Mrs. Delpen. She flees the journalists as she would a pestilence sin e one reporter falsely reported an inter- view he had with her. The queen was greatly pleased with her surroundings In south France and often made exucursions into the mountains, but in order that no photograph should be taken of her she continually wore a white veil. She is very childish, loving bright, pretty things and gayety with the same eagerness that her nlece does. When an obliging person took her automoblle riding she was enchanted. But soon she grew frightened and asked to be set down. She takes great interest In her tollet, though it is very modest. Now this poor little queen without a crown does not know what will become of her. Her movements are re- stricted and her income is very small. She would be very happy to live in Paris, but 8he accepts her fate with an almost pa- thetic submission.

Wood, formerly of Omaha, in the recent marriage of Senator Thomas C. Platt of New York, has de- veloped the fact that the young woman in Question was married before she located here. During her residence in Omaha, Wwhispers of a divorce were heard, but ho one took the trouble to verify them. The Cincinnati Enquirer prints the facts as gathered by {ts Bay City, Mich., cor spondent to the effect that May Catherine Wood was formerly the wife of Albert C. Wood, a jeweéler, now empioyed there by John Leith. They were married in Colon, Mich,, December 19, 188, and -lived to- gether for five years, when it is alleged, she left him, going to Nebraska, They went to Bay City In 188, when he ac- cepted a position with his brother, a jew- eler, who died soon after, and A. C. Wood managed the business for his brother's widow several years. 3 September 29, 1889, Mrs. Wood filed a bill for divorce, alleging drunkenness and infidelity, and in her complaint stated that once before she was obliged to leave Wood and took eteps to procure a divorce, but returned to him on promises of better be- havior. Wood filed a cross-bill, denying all her allegations and praying for a di- vorce on account of cruelty and desertion by Mrs. Wood, who had at that time sold the household furniture and gone to Ne- braska. He alleged that he got abusive letters from her dited Omaha and Denver, Mrs. Wood did not prosecute her suit. ‘Wood discontinued the cross-bill and started a new suit on the same allegations, One witness testified that Mrs. Wood had married for spite. If ‘the marriage took place In 1885 Mae Wood must have been not over 18 when she married WHERE, OH WHERE, IS DIETRICH Millard Would Like His Colleague to Let His Friends Hear from Him,, Senator Millard is wondering whether he ought to send a search .warrant out for Senator Dietrich to satisfy the people who are constantly Inquiring as to the senlor senator's whereabouts, The announcement was made over a week ago by the Assoclated Press that Benator Dietrich had landed in S8an Francisco from Alaska, but since this dispatch nothing has been heard from him. “I don't know where my colleague Js, sir,” sald Senator Millard when askdd about Senator Dietrich. “I have been try- ing to find out myself. I have been in communication with his private secretary at Hastings, but he insists that he is as much in the dark as I am.

K. G., Billings of Chicago and driven by Millard Sanders, this afternoon proved her right to the proud title of queen of the turf by trotting a mile under adverse conditions in the re- markable time of 1:58%. The daughter of Sidney Dillon was paced by a runner, driven by Scott McCoy, and another runner followed closely to urge the mare to a supreme effort. The track of the Memphls Driving club never showed to better advantage. Teams and sprinklers were employed through the day putting on finishing touches, and when the time for Lou Dillon's trial arrived the course was perfect. A strong wind from the north swept down the long back yretch, however, and Judge Newton an- nounced to the spectators that too much should not be expected of the game little trotter. Lou Dillon appeared on the track at 5:10 | p. m. and after a preliminary canter, San= ders announced that he was ready for the start. The two runners were aligned in position and it was noticed that a strip of board a yard wide was fastened to the pace maker's sulky. This, it was an- nounced, was used to keep the dust from the mare's face. At the first start Banders nodded for the word and the flag dropped. Trotter Crowds Runner, After going an eighth of a mile S8anders yelled to McCoy to drive faster and ft iooked as if the mare would catch the runner. Making the first turn, the remark- able work of Lou Dillon could be better seen by the thousands present and like & plece of' perfect machinery she reached the. quarter pole in 30 seconds. In the turn for the back stretch many expected to see the champion falter because ofthe wind. To the sirprise of everyone Lou Dillon - seemed to travel faster, and when the half mile was reached, the timers clicked out 0:69%, a great cheer arose and many horsemen predicted that @ new mile record was making. On the far turn, McCoy was forced to whip the runner to keep. clear of the trotting marvel which was pushing him closely. The three-quarters phle passed In 1:3% and the mare had i for home. The wind now was an advén. “/ tage rather than a detriment and with superb burst of speed, Lou Dillon, on by the shouts of the drivers of the run~ ners, dashed under the wire in 1:88%. When the time was flashed to the speo- tators, hats were flung high Into the alr and cheer followed cheer. Sanders was literally lifted from his sulky by an ade miring throng and Mr. Billings was showered with congratulations. It was a noticeable fact that the watches of the three officlal tmers agreed to the fracs tion and many horsemen standing In the infield caught the time as officlally ane nounced to a fraction. The timers wers Bud Doyle, Fred Hartwell of Chicago and John Dickerson of New York. After the mare had been blanketed and sent to her barn, Sanders, her driver, salds ‘I am not a bit surprised at the result of Lou Dillon’s effort. I expected to break the world's record despite the adverse con~ ditlons. I desire to say that it is my candid opinion that Lou Dillon can trot as fast as any horse in the world can pace and next year I will demonstrate this statement. With perfect conditions today I would be afraid to say how fast the mare would have trotted the mile.” Two Other Records Go. Two other world's records were broken. Darlel, a bay mare, by Aleande, driven by A. McDonald, paced a mlle in 2:004. The former pacing record for a mare was held by Fannie Dillard, 2:08%. Equity and The Monk, from Mr. Billings' stable, were sent a mile against the 2:12% trotting to pole record. ‘The two horses were driven by Mr. Billings In faultless stylo and passed under the wire in 2:09%.
