SPRECKLES AIDS THE UNEMPLOYED

Salvation Army for Raising
sugar Beets.

San Francisco, Cal. May 24.-The ru-
raj homestead plan for the unemployed
as formulated by the Salvation Army
and which will be followed by the army
and the citizens committee, is almost
certain OF success. The plan In brief
is to acquire certain tracts of land
from the government, from the individ-
ual and otherwise, and to occupy these
lands and settle OF them the poor and
what Is known as the surplus popula-
ton of the state. Yesterday morning
Major Winchell and eX-Mayor Ebert
had an interview with Claus Spreckels,
In the course Of which hat gentleman
said he felt sure the colonization plan
was feasible. The great future of the
beet sugar industry made 1t possible for
~colonists to be placed on beet sugar
land in a wholesale way. He said he
would buy all the sugar beets that
could be raised at 81 a ton. He cited
the case OF a couple of Danes in the
Salinas region, who last year Melted
81 900 from a crop Of bects raised on 200
acres of land. Spreckles said he had
5000 acres of lane suitable for the sugar
beet, which he would turn over to the
Salvation Army on almost any terms
II might desire. This land the army
could coloniZe with the unemployed OF
the city. The proposition will undoubt-
eddy be accepted.

COUNTESS ITCHY THE MODEL
Painting of a Nude Nymph In Min
lister Mendonca's Draw
ing Room.

Washington, May 24.-Following the
disclosure hat the beautiful Countess
itchy posed before Baron Bellerini, the
celebrated Hungarian artist, for a pic
ture Of Venus, il has come to light that
another portrait Of the countess, rep
resenting her as a nude nymph, is in ex-
~istence.
This painting, which was also execut-
ed by Bellerini, Is in the drawing room
of the Brazilian minister, Senior Men.
donca. He purchased IL while on one
of his numerous trips abroad because
of it's artistic worth, the handsome face
and perfect figure, little dreaming that
the model for II was a member Of the
aristocratic circles Of Europe. The
painting was hung In the minister's
drawing n attracted great at
~tentlon during Nine. Mendonca's recep-
lions. One afternoon recently a party
Of distinguished foreigners called at the
legation. When their eyes rested upon
the palning they stood spell-bound.
Then, after talking long and earn
cstly among themselves, they inquired
If Nine. Mendonca was aware Of the
identity Of the "Nymph of the Pool"
She sale that she was not, and it was
then she heard the remarkable story
Of Countess Itchy, who, before her mar
rage TO the count. had posed in 1.-The
altogether" for Baron Bellerini.
The romance Of the artist n his
model was rudely broken by the appear
ance Of the wealthy Count Zichy, who
wOoed, won, n carried off the prize.
Aware that the artist had in his pos
session a painting Of his wife in "the al
together" that was a faithful portrait,
Count Zichy made every possible effort
secure the picture by formal pur-
chase. The artist baron was badly In
need Of money at that time. but the idea
OF selling his painting of the Countess
Iichy to her husband was not in his
calculations. For a long time he tanta-
HEED the count by fixing the price Of the
painting at a fabulous sum, and finally
disposed OF it to an agent Of Senior Men
donca.
The painters revenge upon his former
mode for marrying Count Zichy, and
for preferring the latter to himself, has
been far reaching. 1t preceded him to
America, and, unfortunately for the
Count and Countess Itchy, already has
accomplished its purpose.
The painting OF The Nymph at the
Pool represents a beautiful blonde
woman on one knee beside a pool over
the brink Of which she looks into the
clear waters. The pool is on the left OF
the picture, the woman facing it from
the right hand side.
With one hand she brushes back lux
uriant hair, falling I'm disorder. The
left hand touches the ground near her
knee. The scene is in a forest, with
pickering shadows from the over-arch-
Ing trees.

HE PROBABLY TELLS THE TRUTH
Says the Raid Into T%ransvaal Was
TO Annex Rich Mining
Country,

London, May 22.-Rutherford Harris,
a former secretary OF the British char
tered South African company. was be-.
Tore the parliamentary committee to-
day and stated the object of the Trans
vaal raid was to annex the rich mining
districts of the Transvaal to Rhodesla.
He asserted a syndicate was formed to
speculate in the stock of the company,
when the news of the raid was pub
lished and was composed of one of the
chief officials Of the company and one
of the directors. The tenor of the 'cryp.
tograms" shows there was a divergence
OF opinion between Cecil Rhodes, his
brother n Alfred Belts, representa-.
tlves' among the reformers and that
those not connected with the gang were
responsible for the failure Of the raid
These kilograms are alike damning 70
the chartered company and Rhodes. II
Is clear the raid was planned by Cecil
Rhodes and Secretary Belts.

The Failures of Prophets.

The free traders are now coming for
ward to play the role of prophets, a role
which they have played more than once
before. Seven years ago they prophe-
sled all sorts Of evils to everybody from
the passage Of the Mckinley law; and
there came from that law prosperity to
every section of the country, such pros
pcrity as WE have never seen before.
Three years ago they were full of pro-
phecies of the great benefits to flow
from the passage of the Wilson bill; and
there came three years of unparalleled
business disaster and industrial depres.
sion. But it apparently makes nc Diff
ference to the free traders that they
have made as dismal a failure of pro
phecy as they have made in running the
affairs Of the country. 1t makes a good
deal of difference to everybody else,
though, and no one is likely 10 lose any
sleep in worrying over the latest pre-
dictions of these false prophets.
