LIGHT HURTS HER EYES.
The Calciums That Nine. Hermann
Uses Producing Bad Effects.

Adelaide Hermann says that the re-
port that she attempted to smuggle
Mexican silks concealed beneath the
folds of her dress through the customs
house at Ell PaSO, Texas, was simply an
advertising scheme. The story Of her
attempted smuggling was telegraphed
throughout the country at the time o.
the incident.
Il guess I must have the appearance
of a smuggler for it is true the customs
officials suspected me-" said Nine Herr,
mann this morning, but I hadn't even
bought any silks, to say nothing of at
tempting to smuggle them through.
Mrs. Hermann, Icons wife had purch-
ased some silks and was carrying the
material in a handbag, but these were
regularly inspected by the customs peo-
pie. However, they Insisted on Search
ing me, stating that they had received
word that had purchased silks on the
Mexican side of the line, and I was de-
layed at the customs house some time
When Mr.. Thurnaer, our manager
heard of it he thought it a good adver-
Using item and put the newspaper boys

GOING TO BE A NUISANCE.
The Chasing of the Soldier Vote
Around the World.

There is some fear expressed that the
result of the election IN the Twentieth
regiment will not reach Topeka before
dt ds time for the new administration
to begin and the legislature to convene.
It is not probable that it will make any
special difference in the results so far
as state officers are concerned. but it is
quite possible that the vote on repre-
sentative will be so close in some legis-
lative districts that it will take the SOL
der vote to decide it. In that case there
would be no certainty as to who is
elected to the legislature from such dis
trictS until after the time for the leglS-
lature to meet. County offices will pro-
badly be affected in the same manner,
but 1t does not make so much difference
with them, as the present officers would
hold over until their successors qualify.
The only way in which the abstract
of the result of the regimental election
can be returned here before the time
for the legislature to convene, IS by
holding the regiment at Honolulu until
after the election is held. In case this
is done with the two battaliOnS which
sail today, the third battalion can also
vote there and the abstract can be sent
back from Honolulu. There IS no PROP
ability. however, that the election will
be held till after the first two battalions
are far on their way to Manila. In
that case it will take at least six weeks
to go over and six weeks more to SEND
the abstract back, which would take
until the middle of January without
making allowance for any delays which
are likely to occur.
OF course it is possible that the state
election might be so close that the re-
suit in the Twentieth would decide it,
but there is not much probability that
such viii be the case, and no one is los
ing sleep about it. 1t will make no diff
ference to the congressional candidates
when the abstract gets here, because
the terms of the present congressman
do not expire till March 4. With the leg
isiature it is far different, as much of
the work of that body may be over be-
fore the soldier vote reaches the secre-
tary of state.

PALACE OF VERSAILLES.

opening of the Dreyfus case, stated
few days ago that in the event of the
court of cessation ordering a revision
the trial of Dreyfus would be conducted
in secret. He stated further that it must
be secret for three reasons, the essential
one being the material impossibility of
communicating the dossier.
A few days ago General Porter took
the members of the American peace
commission and General Merritt on a
carriage ride to Versailles. The route
thither is one of the most delightful
imaginable, passing as it does the Arc
de Triomphe, Longchamps, st. Cloud,
Sevres and other charming localities
The party visited the magnificent pal
ace of Versailles, with its priceless art
and historic treasures, and afterward
the Petit Trianon palace, where the
unfortunate queen, Marie Antoinette,
and the ladies of her court amused
themselves for a brief period with act
ing the parts of rustic maidens.
