Newport Credits the Rumor of tb'
VauderbfIt-French Engagement.

northumberland Enlargement.
NEWPORT. r. l.. April 29.-There is no
doubt in the minds Of Newport society
folk that Mr.. Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt.
the heir to the bulk Of the great Wander
biit fortune and Miss Elsie French are
engaged. although no official announcement
has been made OF the fact. Mr.. Wander
bilt was very attentive to Miss French
last fall and they drove out together daily.
All the while Mr.. Vanderbilt was in Eu-
rope last year Miss French and ne were
in almost daily cable communication. So
ciety expects the formal announcement Of
the engagement late In the coming fall.

Just as Predictcd.-Several DAYS ago
The Times called attention to the presence
in Washington CT the Hon. Lew Bernard,
Of Cincinnati. 1t was then predicted that
as a result Of his visit here the country
could confidently expect early developments
in Ohio politics. Colonel Bernard holds
no Office Of trust or responsibility in Ohio
but he is an acknowledged authority On
Democratic politics in the State. II ap-
pears that as soon as Bernard returned to
Ohio Chairman Thomas saw the advisa-
biitv Of calling the Democratic State Com
mittee together for the purpose Of fixing
the time and place for the convention tc
elect delegates to Kansas City. Il is con-
coded that the convention will be called
a few DAYS after the New Yorl; Democrats
have officially declared their position
which Will occur June .. The Buckeyes
are expected TO hold their convention about
q week after this date. Some time ago Ad-
miral Dewey accepted an invitation to
visit the native State Of his popular and
accomplish shed wife about the first or second
week in June Mrs. Dewey is sister Of
the Hon John r. Mclean. The entente
oordiale between Colonel Mclean and Col
oneI Bernard is reputed 10 be very good
by the faithful in Cincinnati, is said to be
a boisterous admirer Of the Admiral,
and believes the famous sailor is the only
Democrat in the country who this year can
make a winning fight for the party. II is
thought that unless Colonel Bernard
changes his mind on this point the enterte
cordlalc between him and Colonel Mclean
will be strained TO the swapping point, for
the latter is supposed to be committed to
the Hon William Jennings Bryan for first
choice and certainly there is no record Of
his ever having expressed a preference for
Admiral Dewey So, if the wicked Ber-
uard has arranged affairs in such a man
ner that the Admiral will be a visitor
to the Ohio Democratic Convention aud
stampede that convention to himself for
President 1t is thought that beyond a doubt
there will be hard feelings between king
Lewie" and Colonel Mclean. 1t will be
quite interesting to watch the game set up
by the wicked Bernard and see whether he
or Colonel Mclean is now running the
Buckeye Democracy.

NEW FASHION I'M COATS.
Style of Latest Garment Introduce,
by the Prince of Wales.

Style of Latest Garment Introduced
by the Prince of Wales.
The Prince of Wales has started a
new fashion in coats which has set the
hearts of the modern Beau Brummels
futtering, says the London correspond
ent of the New York Herald. His roy
al highness appeared at the queens
garden party in single breasted frock
coat.
The coat, as seen from the back. pre-
SCENTS the same appearance as the usual
we'll made 'frocker." The length is
that decreed this season, and the tell
tale buttons at the back strike that
happy medium in the small of the back
which is considered the correct thing
this year. The lapels in the front are
cut in the usual way, but the silk fac
ings reach to their extreme edge. The
coat, which is cut so as just to meet
across the chest, is furnished with
buttons not intended for use.
Explaining the mysteries of the new
royal garment to reporter recently,
the makers of the coat said:
1T has three great advantages-it is
far out of the common, it is cooler for
hot weather than the double breasted
coat and affords more opportunities for
displaying fancy vest to advantage"
Inquiries at other west end tailoring
establishments showed that already a
demand has set in for coats similar to
that worn by the prince.

ESTIMATING TIMBER.
Interesting Work of Division of For
estry in Arkansas Described.

! Interesting Work of Division of For
estry in Arkansas Described.
Since the LIST of June a party of ten
men from the division of forestry,
United States department of agricul-
| ture, has been at work en- the land of
prominent lumber company in the
vicinity of Pine Bluff, Ark, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. They will
remain for most of the summer The
work is carried on in accordance with
arrangements made by the division of
! forestry with owners of timber lands
throughout the country. The object is
to secure an economical and conserv-
ative but at the same time a thorough
ly practical and businesslike plan of
management for the owners of such
! timber lands.
A brief outline of the work may be
stated as follows: The tree under con-
sideration here is the short leaf pine
| Pinus echinata), and in the first place
it's rate of growth is worked out.
1 This Is done by what is called "stem
analysis" which is simply a careful
measurement of trees which have been
cut down and sawn into logs. Diameter
and weight measurements are taken,
and the age of the tree is determined
by counting the rings. In this way can
be ascertained just how much wood a
tree adds to itself in any given number
of years, so that one can tell, for in
stance, how long it will be before
young pine, say, 10 inches in diameter
will reach merchantable size.
Having found out the rate of growth
of the pine, the next thing is to make
an exact estimate of the amount of
timber actually standing on the tract.
This is done by measuring all the trees
on sample acres throughout the whole
$4,000 acres of the tract, the diameter
OF each tree being taken by means of
calipers. AS the contents of a tree for
any given diameter have already been
calculated from the felled trees, it is a
simple matter to estimate the amount
Of standing timber in board feet for
each sample acre. This is q much
! more accurate method than that fol-
lowed by an estimator" who, how
ever skillful he may be, relies to a GER
tain extent on guesswork, whereas
the work of the division of forestry is
based upon actual measurements.
The main point to be ascertained is
this: If the company cuts over it's
whole tract, say, in period of 80 years,
removing all trees down to a fixed di-
ameter, will the young trees which are
| left standing furnish the company with
second crop at the end Of this 80 year
period, from which the company can
cut the same number of board feet per
I acre as is now being cut? OF course.
all depends upon what trees are left
standing during the present cutting,
and the division of forestry will deter
mine down to what diameter it is now
safe to cut, with an eye on a second
crop, say after period of 80 years.

the fear, however, that the negotia-
tions might not come to successful
conclusion. If 1t were a matter of
preference Wisconsin would rather
play Iowa. There were number of
Milwaukee alumni at Wisconsin Sat
urday, who impressed upon the Wis
consin foot ball management the fact
that Milwaukee should be favored with
two more games next season, two Of
which should be with prominent col
leges. Coach King said he could not
announce the schedule so far ahead,
but he did promise to do all in his pow
er to give Milwaukee a couple of big
games. 1t is understood that one of
them will be with an Eastern univer-
sity. A majority of the students pre-
fer to visit the metropolis Of the State
and celebrate the victories there rath-

meDt of the Wisconsin team is not very

yesterday. A guarantee of $500 was

fell on David g. Campbell, 1902, who
played left end In the game yesterday.
Capt. Campbell prepared for the Law
renee Scientific school at Worcester
academy, where he played tackle and
was captain OF his team. In his fresh
man year at Harvard he played right
end and captained his team. Last year
he played left end aud on the varsity
was especially noted for the grit
that he showed in diving into an inter
ference and upsettlng ii. He is six
feet one inch tall, weighs 10, and is
