Ever since Miss Breese made her ap- pearance in English society she has been a great favorite. She has had a lot of sprigs of the nobility dangling after her. Her capture of such a rich prize as Lord Willoughby has been a cruel blow to several aristocratic Brit- | ish matrons with eligible daughters. The only consolation they can find for 1t is that she will no longer have to be | reckoned with in future matrimonial campaigns. It would afford them still greater satisfaction if they could say the same thing of Miss Breese's younger sister, Miss Anne Breese, who dances well and never Jacks a partner. ACCUSED OF KILLING . WIFE AND FAMILY Iowa Man Is Suspected of Having Talken Lives of Six Persons. * DES MOINES, Ia., Nov. 2.—William S. MeceWilliams, aged 30 years, is under ar- rest accused of Kkillhg his wife, four sons and one daughter near Independ- ence, Ia., on Friday. Additional evidence has been secured against him since the crime was discovered and the Coroner's Jury is expected to return a verdict nam- ing McWilllams as the murderer. ' McWilllams maintains his innocence. His netghbors say that he has acted pe- | culiarly since suffering sunstroke .two i years ago and declare that he had been | examined for {nsanity. McWilllams, it ‘s ) alleged, beat his wife and children's | heads into a pulp with a hammer, hacked ; their bodies with a meat knife and left 1 [| them on the kitchen floor. —_———— No Credit for Grand Duke. PARIS, Nov. 25.—The rumor spreads that the merchants of the Rue de la Paix are determined to make an open | scandal by suing the Czar's uncle, | Grand Duke Alexis, for great sums. They say that since the war and inter- nal troubles they are doubtful of Rus- slan grand ducal debts which they have ! Injudiciously allowed to accumulate. Grand Duke Serge was a prime offend- er, and his unpaid and never-to-be-paid bills amount to close to a million. They now refuse credit to Russian Grand Dukes as a matter of normal business foresight. 2 5 —_——— Absco ‘With $60,000. BRUSSELS, Nov. 25.—A serious theft has been discovered in one of the large | banking establishments here. ‘An em- i ploye who had charge of the bond de- i partment had not appeared at the bank lfor 4 week. The deposits wers exam- ined, and it was found that there was a shortage of $60,000. The young man resides in the country, and the authori- ties visited his home and learned that when he arrived there he kissed his parents and left without saying a word. It is supposed that he went to a French port and embarked for America. l Frozen faith is eftective only th freez- N | Portuguese and Galiclans {laws, WOULD ADMIT A FEW CHINESE Hawaii's Delegate to Con- gress Says Something Must Be Done for Island Planters LABOR VERY SCARCE S |Prince. Favors Adoption of Contract Plan Used by the English in the Transvaal —_— VICTORIA, B. C. Nov. 25—Prince Kuhio Kalanianole of Hawaii, Republi- can Delegate from Hawail to the fifty- ninth Congress, arrived to-day from Honolulu by the steamship Aorangi, en route to Washington. Prince Kalanianole said the question now confronting Hawall most serious. The sugar plantations were the chief industries; in fact, the mainstay of the islands. nexation they depended mostly Chinese, labor, labor on Asiatiec, and now that Japanese were allowed to land. but A unstable and unsatisfactory. had been tried, but they did not meet the re- quirements. Prince Kalanianole said he favored the admission of a cegtain number of Chinese under contract similar to the British system In. the Transvaal, al- though he did not know how the Urited States would favor such a heme. Something had to be done, as the planters were suffering from lack of labor. Hawali also suffered by the opera- tion of the United States shipping said the Prince. He did not think there was sufficient American shipping to fill requirements and the operation of the shipping laws worked a hardship and caused a loss. He thought it unjust, but it had to be borne, as the islands were now part of the United States. The Prince said his election had been contested by the defeated candidate, Tawakea, who claimed the election was illegal. He said he would easily show its legality. e e ahs K HUSBAND AND WIFE |, FACE GRAVE CHARGE London Police Accuse Them of Having Passed Worth- less Checks. Nov. LONDON, —Lewis Green Tewksbury, alleged to be wanted in New was arrested here to-day on the in Yo charge of passing worthless checks London. His wife, Viola, is also In cu: tody, charged with assisting in passi the bogus checks. The police allege that Tewksbury was formerly In business in New York and Mexico and absconded from both places. The prisoners were remanded. Tewksbury, according to dispatches re- céived here, recently failed in Londen for $25,000. He failed in New York in' 1900 for about $600,000, and went to Mexico, tracts for the President of that republic. At the height bury owned a large stable of trotting and pacing horses, among them being John R. Gentry and Joe Patchen. —_—ee————— Most Important Debutante. LONDON, Nov. 25.—The most impor- tant American debutante of 1906 will be Miss Yvonne Townsend, a daughter of Lawrence Townsend, who was Min- ister of Belglum. She has already ceived the hall mark of the social elec having been on more than one occasion the Queen’'s guest at Sandringham. She is a handsome girl, but has, what is more telling than looks, style. It is quite the fashion now fo give a debu- tante a preliminary canter at country house ba''s some months before makes her formal bow to society, and I hear Miss Townsend will have this ex- perience prior to her presentation at one of the early courts of next season. ———— King Does Wife's Shopping. PARIS, Nov. is proving himself a dutiful husband, spending a whole afternoen intcrview- ing couturiers, inspecting model cos- tumes on the living mannequins of the tfamous houses and choosing robes for the Queen. She, it appears, is quite in- different about her toilette, and if the King didn't use his authority would be perfectly content to wear the models of bygone years badly reproduced by Athenian modistes. She has a pen- chant, too, like Carmen Sylva, for the peasant costumes of her adopted coun- try. is ) g Before an- | Chinese were not admitted the scarcity | of labor has become a serious question. where he carried out some profitable con- | of his success Tewks- | re- | she ! —The King of Greece | ISAN FRANCISCAN > INVENTS PRESS |Evolves a Machine Which Promises to Revolutionize Printing All Over World FEEDS AUTOMATICALLY To San Francisco has come the honor of being the home of an invention which promises to revolutionize the art op modern printing. As superior to the old Ben Franklin hand printing press as was the new steam machine which printed thousands of sheets where for- merly hundreds had been run off, so this new San Francisco invention, an automatic press and an automatic teeder, is- a great step in advance of the machines now in use in every job printing house in the United States. ‘This Invention promises to do for the press room what the linotype machine, the wonderful appliance which super- | seded the old hand style of composition, did for the compesing room—increase | the capacity of the shop a hundred-fold. | The inventor of this wonderful ma- ! chine is_ Mr. J. loag of 28 First | street. There he has had his new press on exhibition for several weeks and each day his office has been crowded | with people who are anxious to | watck the marvelously quick work jof the new invention. Before their astonished gaze it will take pa- per from the bottom of a pile, carefully plcking up one sheet at a time—it never makes a mistake—and print the s at the rate of over 300 | per hour. is indeed a wonderfy | chievement, but it is not all that thim | machine does. It not only seizes the | paper, be it oniou-skin or heaviest Bel- | fast, and prints It rapidly, but at the | same time it delivers each sheet in per- | fect shape into a receiving box fitted for the purpose, where it can be easily taken out and bo or folded. Mr. Hoag claims for his press that it will foree its way into every printin; | office in the world. He says that it will take the place of every hand feeding press now in use. His invention is so complete that one man is able to ope- | rate four machines at once, thus doing the work which it takes twelve men to do to-day. . ——————— London’s Latest Fad.' | LONDON, Nov. 25.—The Japanese complexion is fashionable just now. | Beauty specialists in Mayfair impart to | the face any tone of complexion desiyed | just as easily as they can change the hue of the hair, and the “Japamese tint” is the favorite and most demanded com- plexion now. A beauty specialist, speaking of the | new complexion, said: “To obtain the best foundation for | this coloring I advise my clients to | motor as much as possible after the | first application. The air enricnes the | skin to the color of a ripe olive, aud | then I tone it down with a good cold Next a little olive powder is | | Daughter Wealthy. | . LONDON, Nov. 25.—The biggest for- | tune ever accumulated by an English | jockey. was left by Fred Archer, “the | Demon horseman,” to his two-year-old | daughter when he died, nineteen yi ago: it was then valued at $600,000, | by shrewd investment it had rea | close upon a million when this young | woman came of age last week. Her { mother was a daughter of John Daw- ! son, the famous trainer, by whose fam- :ily Rose Archer has been reared. De- spite her great fortune she has always | lived In most unassuming stgle, and | her sole society comes from the train- | ing* establishments on Newmarket | Heath. —_—— Automatic Illumination. ! PARIS, Nov. 25.—Travelers by taxi- | meter cabs are shortly to enjoy the ad- | vantage of electricity by means of an | ingenious automatic machine, into the | slot of which a 10-cent piece is to be | dropped and the interior of these cabs | will be illuminated by eleetricity for | ten minutes.
