COUNTESS GLAD TO GO.
Pleased Because She Will See
America No More.

AfnSIlSn NO more.
New York, March 1.-Countess Di-
vonne arrived here yesterday and today
sailed for France on La Bretagne. She
is free at last from the bitter struggle
with her mother the widow of the late
Colonel Audenried, of Washington.
Yes" said she, with a hauteur she
did not attempt to conceal when ques-
toned as to the results of her long
legal struggle with her mother, II am
going to rejoin my husband, and | shall
never trouble myself to return to Amer
lea again. Indeed, that is one of the
terms upon which even this little al
lowance of $4,000 a year was granted
me. My alleged extravagances in
Paris were all my mothers doings. l
had been brought up to crafty my
every whim. One of the terms is that
| must never see my mother again. l
wish my friends in America to know
before | sail that the Count Divonne
is not in the least at fault in what
l have done. He has always urged me
to live less eXtravagant."
The countess was followed to New
York by agents of her mother, who had
the passage tickets and enough funds
to last her on the voyage over. They
had been instructed not to allow the
countess to get possession of them till
she was aboard La Bretagne and the
ship was about to sail

NO MORE WORTH GOWNS.
The Famous Partisan Dressmaker Has
Passed AWAY,

Paris, March 11.-Worth, the famous
dressmaker, Is dead. Charles Frederick
Worth, the most celebrated of all Pari-
sian dressmakers, was singularly
enough, a native Of England, but the
only queen in all Europe who never
ordered toilette from him is the one
of whom he was born a subject.
He was born at Bourne, in Lincoln
shire, in 1926. His father was a solic-
itor with a good private fortune, which
he lost in speculation. At the age of
13, young Worth went to the great dry
goods house of Swan and Edgar, in
London, and remained there for seven
years, during which time he did all the
work Of an ordinary apprentice. In
this large establishment he developed
and perfected his appreciation of the
productions of the French mllliners and
dressmakers.
After Worth went to Parish he was
employed for twelve years in a silk
house. after which he started business
for himself and his artistic taste soon
made him the autocrat of dress In the
world of fashion.

Of farmers, including amounts remain
Ing over from previous years, are EN-
braced in the estimates given. The
corn on hand as estimated aggregates
fj, ,j6i. .450 bushels, or 1916 per cent. of
the last crop.
This proportion has been exceeded
but four times in the last ten years;
the quantity, however, is an unprece-
deEtly small one. The consumption of
corn for eight months Is an unusually
small one, which fact is explained by
the large amount of wheat fed to stock.
The estimated amount of wheat in
fa"mers' hands is 75,00O,O0O bushels, or
l5.@ per cent. of the last crop, and is
3J,OOOOOO bushels less than last March.
Til explanation for this is in a large
measure to be found in the fact that
larc quantities have been fed to hogs
and other stock

imposed upon criminals is furnished by
a case here. and one In Perry county.

Conshohocken, was Saturday convicted
in court for stealing several chickens.
The value for the stolen property was
probably not over $40. He was sent to

In striking contrast to this harsh
sentence was that imposed during the

Republican members had put up a
scheme to keep him out until after IL
O'Clock so that the veto would be in

the elevator captured.

tered the elevator with the veto mes
sage. he was seized by Mr. Adams, of

and held as in vice. while j. G.. Allen,
another member, ran the elevator up
and down at lightning speed. Kings
yells soon brought the custodian of the
building with his force. and the eleva-
tor was stopped and King released.
There was still five minutes and the
central door was forced by the GUS

resembled a riot. The Democrats
tried to fight through a way for King
to the speakers chair. but the speak
ears watch showed II o'clock long be-
fore they got there and he declared the
