The Bugle on Men-of-war.

Many Of you know what an impor-
tant part the bugle Tlays in military
operations on shore; how it assemblies
vast bodies of men, dcploys them for
battle, regulates their fire and sounds
the charge which even dumb animals
understand and obey in a desperate rush
for victory. The voice of the commander
gives the order, but since lis voice can
reach only those near him the bugle takes
it up and carries it in piercing notes to
the most distant ear.
So, too, on board Of man-cf-war
the bugle is used to make an order pen
citrate the uttermost parts Of the ship
from deck to hold, from stem to stern
and from quarter deck to masthead.
From morning till night it is calling
officers and men to routine duties, and
in battle it is directing nearly every
movement and inspiring them to their
utmost crdcavCr John NJ.

A Roentgen Romance.

An Atchison woman is writing a love
story in which the cathode ray plays a
prominent part. The heroine turns the
cathode ray on young mans pocket
book and finds it full and his heart
empty. She at once makes advances,
and the young man follows her lead. He
takes trick after trick by his sklllful
plays in the game and is about to ask
for her hand when a friend suggests
that the girl has another lover en- the
string. He turns the cathode ray on her
heart and finds that he occupies very
small space in it. Discouraged, he com
mits suicide, and the girl who has
learned to love him for himself too late
spends the rest of her life in taking
solitary rambles to the cemetery, where
she daily turns the cathode ray ON his
grave in order to gaze again and again
upon his features and see how he is get
ting on. It Is expected that the story
will make a great hit.-Atchison Globe.

IT Banished His Father Years Ago For
Cleaning Ills Nails In Church.
A strange tale of a mans resentment
for all injury done his father more than
three-quars2rs Of a century ago was
brought to light on recent Sunday by
the visit to this city of Daniel Porter, a
wealthy merchant of San Jose, Cal
True to a VOW registered many years
ago he refused to stay longer than "a
hours in a state that had meted out to
his father unjust and terrible punish
ment for a trivial offensc, the mere
thoughtless infraction, in fact, OF q
blue law even at that time almost IN
desuetude. Although pressed to remain
BY his host, we'll known west end
man, his determination not to pass two
nights in the old Nutmeg State could
not be shaken, and he left for New York
Sunday afternoon.
In the year 1915 Mr. Porter's father,
whose name was also Daniel, was a
Young man of IS years in the little
town of Coventry. Sermons were tedious
things in those days, and one Sunday as
Young Porter sat in church he allowed
his thoughts to wander. Absentmlnded-
" he drew his knife from his pocket
and commenced to cut his finger nails.
The sharp eye of the tithing man caught
the desecration of the sanctuary, and
Porter was at once placed under arrest.
The court in which he was tried pre-
served the usages of old colonial days,
the present constitution Of Connecticut
not having been adopted until 1918.
and the gravity of his offense was clear
" recognized under the old code The
court found punishment to fit the
crime, and Porter was ordered to be
banished from the state for life. What
is more, he had to 60, for there was no
dallying with the law in those days
Porter had expressed desire to 60 to
sea, and a constable escorted him to
New London, where he found ship
He followed the sea for more than 20
yars, but early in the forties drifted to
Cincinnati. Here he married and had
two sons One Of these is the one who
paid the city a flying visit on Sunday.
Early in life he went to California and
has become a wealthy man.
Mr.. Porter said, while he recognized
the fact that mis- father could have re-
turned without molestation many years
before he died, he thought that he had
been done an irreparable injustice,
which never could be forgiven. He en-
tertained, he said, no feeling Of love for
or pride in the old state which had been
the birthplace Of his forbears.
Mr.. Porter arrived in the city Sunday
morning, and late in the afternoon left
for New York He saw but little of the
city, and said that he was not interested
in anything that came from or was a
part of Connecticut. t.-Bridgeport Union.

LONDON, ENG, July 23.-The village of
Sandringham, the country seat of the
Prince of Wales, was en- fete to-day in
honor OF the marriage of the Princess
Maud of Wales and Prince Charles of Dem
mark. The newly married pair received a
veritable country welcome when they
arrived last evening, and to-day they are
waited on by deputations of the villagers,
who presented them with addresses of con-
graduation and numerous wedding offer
ings.
, Subsequently the Princess Maud and
her husband drove through Sandringham
and inspected the triumphal arches and
decorations. The Princess wore her "go-
ing away gown" which was something
unique in the modiste's line. 1t was of
pale blue-gray canvas, lined with pale blue
and pink shot silk. The bodice had deep
folded belt of black satin falling in little
bow at the left side, with pointed revers of
black satin edged with grasslawn guipure.
The vest and collar were of blue and white
glace and chine silk, flowered with pink
roses. The head dress was burnt straw
toque with puckered brim, into which
were tucked clusters of fresh-cut shaded
pink roses, the trimming being finished
with full pink and white osprey at the
back.

Miss Gertie Devers, a Runaway

for a Marine.

PORTLAND, Or, July 23-The sudden
infatuation of Miss Gertie Devers, the
handsome 17-year-old daughter OF promi-
nent railroad man of Salt Lake, for one of
the marines on the cruiser Philadelphia,
now in this port led the young lady to
run away from her friends whom she was
visiting near Los Angeles and follow the
battle-ship from San Francisco to Oregon.
The young pair met at San Diego, where
the Philadelphia was anchored for short
time. The young seaman showed Miss
Devers some attentions, and the result
was that she became much attached to
him. Her friends suspected ruse to get
away, and one day when she disappeared
to visit friends in Oakland it was discoy-
cred she had come northward.
The young lady's father arrived here
last night in response to a telegram in
forming him of his daughters where

fathers command to return home. She
declared she would kill herself at the first

PRINCE Y7URBiDE'S PROTEST.
Objects to Being Expelled From Washing
tons Metropolitan Club Without a
Jury Trial

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-Judge
Hagner yesterday decided that the issues
of fact raised in the case of Prince Angus
tine Yturbide of Mexico. who several
days ago prayed for writ of mandamus
to compel the board of governors of the
Metropolitan Club to revoke their suspen-
sion of him from the CLUB, shall be tried
in the Circuit Court before jury.
Prince Yturbide claims he was expelled
from the club without being given an
opportunity to answer the charges that he
was guilty of conduct unbecoming a gen.
tleman and club member, it being al
legged that he was the author of defama-
tory stories respecting a daughter of one
OF the club members. The club claims
that he was given an opportunity to
answer the charges and that he declined
to do so. The Prince also stated to the
court to-day that he can prove by dozen
or more witnesses that he is innocent.
The Judge, in disposing of the matter,
held that Prince Ytnrbide is entitled to a
trial of the issues of fact before Jury, and
gave each side until rule day in Septem-
ber tn make up those issues, explaining
that they cannot be tried before October,
for there will be no jury trials until then.
During the proceedings in court, the
Prince was conspicuous for his nervous
movements, and he read his own answer
TO the brief OF the counsel for the Metro
politan Club. He was dressed in a steel
gray coat and trousers. He was minus a
vest, and wore black tie, neatly tucked un-
der the edges of white collar that topped
a linen shirt. Two rather massive pearl
studs held the front of his shirt together.
He wore tan shoes.
Prince Yturbide is tall. He has black
hair, inclined to be curly, and wears a
sandy beard that spreads trifie at the
lower end,

Ii HUNG CHANG COMING
The Distinguished Chinese States
man to Be Magnifcently
Entertained.
To Be Met at New York by Old.
Time Ministers and Diplomatic
Acquaintances.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 23.-The
present indications are that when Ii
Hung Chang arrives in this country a
few weeks hence the ambassador will be
entertained magnificently, no. alone by
the National and State authorities, but by
a committee of distinguished citizens who,
because of past residence in the Orient or
because of their estimate of the Chinese
profoundest respect.
The Importance of this purely civic
compliment will be fully appreciated by
Ii Hung Chang. because he is acquainted
with every member of the committee as it
is thus far composed.
The committee consists of John E.
Ward, Minister to China in 1s5S-1s6O: Mr..
Seward, who was Minister from 1875 until
1880; John Russell Young, who was Min
lister from 1882 to 1886; John L. Cadwalla-
der. who was Assistant Secretary of State
with Mr.. Fish, and who visited China
thereafter, receiving personal attentions
from the Vieeroy; Edward L. Burlingame,
the son of the Hon. Arson Buriingame,
who was Minister to China from 1860 to
1868 and thereafter the Minister of China
TO various Western powers. Colonel Fred
ID. Grant, who was in China with his
father, will be asked to take part in the
work of this committee, and several other
members OF the old mercantile commu-
nifty in China. If upon inquiry of the
Viceroy it is found that he can remain
long enough in New York to take part at a
dinner to be given in his honor.
The probabilities are that the Viceroy
Will remain in this city but one or two
days. His official character as the EN-
passadoT of China would necessitate his
almost immediate departure for Wash
ington when he lands. That he will OBJ
serve this principle of diplomatic cour-
tesy there can be little doubt, for the
Chinese officials are most punctilious.
After visiting Washington he may revisit
New York, however, and spend little
more time in responding to the desire of
that part of the population which will
seek to do him honor. On his way West
it is said he will make stop, in all likeli-
hood, only in Chicago. He will be enter
tanned in San Francisco before he departs
for home.
