New YoRE. Nov. ia damage suit
brought in London a few days ago by
the Countess de Fremont against w. IS.
Gilbert, tho famous librettist, brings
to light an interesting story. The
countess had applied to the
for an interview which she wished to
publish in ''St. Paups,' to which he re-
piled that his tertns for m interview
were 30 %guineas. The lady was equal
tosuch an emergency and rctortcd with
quaint humor that she had anticipated
the pleasure of writing his
obituary for nothing. This
evidently aroused the Giibertian anger
and he retalinted by writing AN aecoLnt
of the affair for publication, in ,yhiclp
he made some i~nnuendoes not fiatter-
ing to tho countess chnarcter.. She sis
the widow of Leon de- Bremont, u
French physician holding the ~title.of
count, and she is we'll known as Il
singer of reputation, as we'll US a

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Nov. 13.-Par-
ties who have recently visited the state
soldiers home report that everything
is running smoothly there. The en-
rollment shows 100 old soldiers pres
ent. This is n pretty large number for
Il new state like South Dakota, and
still there are many applications on
file that have not yet been acted upon.
1t takes a strong certificate of disabil-
ity from the surgeon to gain admit
tance, except in the eases of men 50 to
10 years old. One veteran admitted
last week was 81 years of age Since
the opening of the homo there have
been twenty-three douths, and six Of
those since July l last. This is owing
to the broken down condition of the
men beng sent there. Over 1908 peo.
pie have registered us visitors since tho
beginning of the year. but as half OF
those who enter the building do not
segister, it is Il conservative estimate
that $500 people visit the institution
each year. A visit to the home proves
that South Dakota takes the best OF
care Of its gallant old veterans.

HOUSE MAJORITY TOO BIG.
Defeated Republican Candidates win not
Got encouragement to Contest.

Defeated Republican Candidates VIII not
Get Encouragement to Contest.
WASHINGTON, Nov. lathe innu-
merable notices of contests which come
from defeated republicans throughout
the south and west, betolsen a very
mistaken idea on the part Of those m
tlemen. There is little prospect that
the house of representatives of the
Fifty fourth congress will engage much.
in the unkeating of opposition members.
The last republican house did quite too
much in that line, even though at that
time III addition to the republican
quorum was a strong necessity. Ex-
Speaker Reed was very positive in ex-
pressing his opinion during the last
session of the house in opposition to
trumped up contests for partisan pur-
poses, and he said that no contest
should be ever considered by the house
which did not have on the face of it an
apparent Justice. Republicans have
now a majority more than they will be
able to handle, and every political con-
testant may well make up his mind to
remain at home unless lie has II very
strong case against his successful'op-
ponent.
The recent election will lave an i'm
portant bearing upon congressional APP
portionment of tho states that were
captured from the democrats by tho
republicans. The result will be an en-
tire reversal of the present order of
things and will enable therepublicans
to entrench themselves again in power
in several states. AT present there are
twenty-four states that have been up
y>nrtiSraI Nv I,,,,n,.nyc t,Na1yra uNrn,.-,
toned by republicans, and eight that
have not been apportioned. The twelve
states apportioncd under republican di-
rection are Colorado, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Minnesota. Now hampshire,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode ISL
and, Vermont, and lately New Jersey.
In the slump of 1890 the republicans
lost and the democrats reapportioned
California, Connecticut, Illinois, Mnssa.
chusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New
York and Wisconsin. BY SO doing they
gathered in from these eight states
tifty-three members Of congress. The
election last Tuesday gave the demo-
Gratis from the same states but seven
members. In addition to securing what
they had previously lost, the repnb-l
leans We're successful in elccting legis-i
latures in Indiana and West Virginia,
which will enable them to make
such superintendent there as seems
best. In Indiana tho constitution
stipulates that the superintendent
shall not be made oftener than one IN
every six years, but the republicans
have already begun to discuss a plan
by which they get around this by
means of various amendments. In
North Carolina the apportionment will
also be under control of the fusionists.
This will change the present figures
then so that the democrats will have
charge of the npportionmcnts in ID
states, the republicans in 90 and the
fusionists in /. the states of Della
ware, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Washington
md Wyoming have never boon rppor-
toned.

BAkEHousEs OF LONDON.
A Committee of Prominent Citizens Do
mand Some Reforms.

I'LL Sollc
LONDON, Nov. 7.-As q result of the
recent investigation into the sanitary
condition Of tho bakehouses of the me-
tropolis, Il committee of prominent cit
liens has submitted to tho London
county council u petition asking for n
II Der of amendments to the public
health act as relating to baking estab-
lishmcnts. The resolutions suggest
that uniform metropolitan laws regu-
lating bakeries be made by the
London county council, and that
the duty OF enforcing these laws
shall devolve upon the various local
sanitary authorities; that such laws
shall govern the regulation of the con-
duct of the business, the structure Of
the premises, and the mode in which
application is TO be made for sanction
to establish new bakeries in the city of
London; that it be rendered an offcnsc
to occupy as a b%alsehouse any cellar or
place almost or altogether below the
level of the street; that all metropoii-
tan baisehouses be regularly licensed
and that the granting of the licenses
be vested in the London county coun-
ell. 1t is thought that the adoption of
these measures would prove of untold
benefit to the community, especially
among the poorer classes.

Loeser decided a few years ago to come
America. Mrs. Loeser had to choose
between her love for her husband and
for her fadcrland and she chose the
latter, refusing to come to this country.
The case is said to be a pathetic one in
that both husband and wife speak mos,
highly of each other and love eacl,
other tenderly, the tronbie being solely
that Mrs. Loeser could not bear to
leave her old friends and home.
