A Question of Grammar

The peace conference at The Hague may have been a political failure. but it has been an arena in which the American dele gates have won many laurels. The least known member of the body is the one who has attracted the largest amount of the worlds attention. This is the secretary, Frederick W. Holls, a member of the New York bar. He is admirably qualified for the post. His father, a German by birth, Is an eminent Lutheran clergyman, and the son speaks both German and English. His selection as secretary was warmly advo- cated by Commissioner Seth Low, who had before this recognized Mr. Holls fitness for the office.
 His plan of international mediation and arbitration was marked by simplicity. ef- ficiency and equity. The phraseoogy was so excellent as to receive the praise of the great European jurists who were op- posed to his ideas. Digests of his plan were published, with full credit, by every European nation.
 Of MT. Holls' career as lawyer many stories are told. of which the following is one:
 On one occasion in the court room Mir Hols was Interrupted with the question::

 A few minutes later the American ap- preached the prince's equerry, who was examining picture close by, and asked him in low tone the name Of his com- panion.
 "Ihe Earl of Chester" was the truthful answer.

WATERVILLE.
A HANDSOME FORUM:
Comes to Augustus Often from His Grand
fathers Estate IN Germany.

Augustus Often, who, since he was
IA, when he left Germany to seek his
fortune, has been tireless worker to
accumulate wealth, has suddenly been
aroused to find fortune of $4,000
staring him in the face, with the re-
quest that he henceforth become its
guardian. The property comes to him
by the death of a relative, he having
received word from German law firm
to that effect.
The entire estate is valued at some
thing like $4,000, and was the prop
orty of his grandfather, William Often
Of Erkhenz, Germany. William, be-
sides the real estate he held in his own
town. held real estate in Cologne 20
miles away. This property was not
thought to be of much value at that
time. but since, through the growth Of
The city large business blocks have
been erected on the land making it of
great value.
At the death of William Often the
papers relative to the Cologne property
were lost sight of. His son Carl, Au-
gustus Otten's father, when he attain
ID maturity, became of the opinion
that the Cologne property belonged to
his father. Legal talent was engaged
TO look up the claims and the papers
became lost. When the affairs of
the attorney We're looked over, after
the death, the missing papers were
found.
The papers then went back and
forth through the courts and finally
the claim was fairly well established
The property was at one time pas
ture land, but the city has so grown
that the rs acres are now covered with
business blocks in the heart Of the city.
In all the property is valued at over
S750,000. There are four heirs to the
property. so that Mr.. Otten's share is
S114000. 1t is expected that it will re-
1uire some work in the courts to settle
up the property. so that Mr.. Often does
not expect to get the whole of the prop
erty.
Mr.. Often has been requested to send
on the proofs of his being a son of
Carl Often, and these proofs have al
ready been sent

will be carried out to the letter.
Capt. Baird Of the u. $. NJ, and John
j. Edison of the Washington reception
committee, also had a short interview
with the admiral and acquainted him
with the official programme Of his en-
tertainment in the Capital city. Mr..
Edison left the admiral in Capt Baird's
hands ard told him that the latter was
the authorized escort and representa-
tive of both the navy and the commit
tee.

They would rather walk upstairs

They use ordinary portable bath
tubs in place of stationary porcelain

What seems to us the funniest
thing of all is that they absolutely
prefer chicory in their coffee.
1t is easy enough for any one to
get adulterated coffee in this coun-
try. But the good housewife watches
carefully that she is not thus i'm
posed upon.
Those who have learned by cx-
perience and wish to be absolutely
sure that they are getting pure coffee
and the best coffee, without 4 grain
of adulteration, ask for and insist
upon having Chase & Sanborn's
Coffees.
There is none better on the mar
ket. Every bean has been carefully
selected from plantations, famous
for their coffee crops.
The fact that these coflces bear
the seal of Chase & Sanborn is in
itself a sufficient guarantee that they
are full weight and in every way
perfect.
Seal Brand Coffee comes in one
and two-pound tin cans, and their
other high grades in richly colored
parchment-lined imported bags.
