The legislative assembly OF Jersey is
called the states, and the rectors OF
the IL parishes Of the island are ex
offioio members OF it. Dean lie Breton
attended the sessions perforce, but
lightly his responsibilities sat upon
him. At the beginning Of a meeting he
would go TO the public library nearby
and say to the attendant:
Mrs Blank, It's rather duh In the
states session. Win you kindly let me
take one Of SCOTS novels to read til
it's over?"
Now, It was against the rules Of the
august library authorities TO let any

had way with him. way his daugh-
ter, for good or m. has inherited TO the

ones. There came at length time
when these could be ignored no longer.
Under unpleasant circumstances he
left the island and went TO England and
died there. His body was brought back
TO be laid in the lie Breton family vault
at st. Saviours. and he had one OF the
largest funerals ever witnessed in the
island. Everybody, rich and poor, gen
try and laborer. turned out 10 pay re-
spect TO his remains. The extraordinary
fascination he had exercised over his
people still held them even after his
death, though he had left their island
under a cloud. A student OF heredity

To most British matrons their sons are
everything, their girls Of little account,
Mrs. lie Breton is an exception. Her
one daughter. the Jersey Lily, Is the
treasure and pride Of her heart. In
childhood Mrs. Langtry was a tom
boy" racing through the fields with her
brothers and playing tricks on quiet cit
liens. So she gained the health. nerve
and activity that have never deserted
her.
II let her run" said Mrs Langtry's
mother, with evident satisfaction In this
mode Of bringing up daughter. she
used to play cricket with her brothers.

much. She learned,Freneh in France,

Italian"
Even though never pinned down to her
books much, however. Lille Langtry
is anything but stupid mentally. She
has vigorous, cultivated intellect. OF
the seven children Of the lie Bretons
only three are alive, the Lily and two
brothers. One Of these, William. the
eldest Of the family, man OF uncom-
mon strength and stature, ts a retired
Indian army officer. The other, Glenn
ent. is a barrister in London. The
youngest Of the family, Reginald, was
the champion boxer OF Jersey and glo-
riod in t., and they say even his rev.
erend father. William Cofbet lie Bre-
ton. dean OF the Church Of England in
Jersey, was not altogether ashamed cf
his prowess.

TO Rebuild the Auditorium.

Des Moines, June 19.-It is expected
the work Of rebuilding the auditorium
destroyed by fire Sunday morning, will
be commenced today. Members OF the
executive committee of the Auditorium
company called on the insurance adj
justers who are in the city, yesterday,
and upon the local representatives of
the companies interested, and from
them received permission to, put force
of men at work clearing away the de-
.bris at once. It is. expected this will
take two or three days and possibly
the rest Of this week, but as soon as
this work is accomplished the work OF
rebuilding will be CONNIE need and will
be carried on by three shifts of men
working eight hours each until the
building is completed. It is expected
to have It ready Tor occupancy by the

country. There is also pair Of Dutch
hares, another species of the Belgians,
which are priced very highly by Mrs.
Philpott. The Belgian hare is distin-
guished for its beautiful colored gold
en- fur.
Mrs. Philpott has three bucks and
two does which she values at $500 each.
There are also number which will
bring $500 on the market and thus it
will be seen that the hare industry in
Ottumwa has been placed in the front
ranks at once. In England, it is true,
there ar higher priced hares, some of
them being quoted as high as $4,000,
the worlds champion. But the indus
try there has been steadily increasing
since it's introduction in 1912. Taking
this as a criterion it is evident that
while the breeding OF Belgian hares
may be properly termed a fad, yet it is
rea ;onably certain that it has not in
any degree attained it's zenith, and in
view of the fact that the meat of the
Belgian hare has found such favor in a
trade where high prices may be de-
manded, it is certain that it is ,,n in
dustry that has come to stay. Even
tho the present high prices should de-
cline materially, the same as is the
case of fancy poultry after long years
of success, it will still prove remun-
|erative as we'll as pleasant indus
try.

BANKRUPTCY RULING.
Judge ShIras, Holding In the Hatch
Bankruptcy Mater.

Judge Shiras holds that a referee in
bankruptcy has no jurisdiction to order
the return of property listed as exempt
to trustee for the benefit of mort
gagee. sA case in point had been GER
titled tor Judge Shiras, and today his
decision was received by Referee in
Bankruptcy John W., Lewis.
In the matter Of the Bankruptcy of
James Hatch, insolvent, E. D. Mahon
filed petition with the referee ask
ing that the bankrupt be required to
turn over, to the trustee a horse and
wagon which had been set apart as ex-
empt, but on which Mahonahe a mort
gage. The referee sustained the petit
ton and ordered the property turned
over as prayed. AT the request of Mr..
Hatch the question was certified to
Judge Shiras, whose decision was re-
#ceived today, reversing the order of the
referee, and holding that the bankrupt
cy court is without jurisdiction. 81

Prof Gleason's Exhibition of Driving
without Lines.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Prof. Gleason's exhibition Of skill in
horsemanship at the Athletic park last
evening was of special interest from an
amusement and scientific standpoint.
He displayed his ability to control and
manage the most vicious horse, and
also gave an exhibition of driving with
out lines, using only whip as means
of guidance for the animal. The horse
displayed in this training was one
which fought the professor for two
hours and forty minutes when he first
took him in hand, and now Mr.. Gleason
says that in six months this same ami
NAL will do anything he wants him to
except talk. A 1900 pound broncho
was brought into the arena and upon
examination proved unfit for use as his
mouth had been so abused by his own
err that the professor said the horse
would have to be treated before he
could be trained, Attic Professor
Gleason may seem to be rough at
times, he has kindly feeling for
horses which is more than ordinary
and his methods will not hurt valuable
animals. Tonight's program will be
of special interest at which time he
will handle one which the owner says
no living man 0n break to useful
ness.

Last week a motion for a new trial
in the 100000 damage case of John A.
Holmes, administrators of the, estate
of Glen Holmes, VS. the Rock Island
Railway company, in which the jury
fonnd for the company, was argued be-
fore Judge Roberts in this city, he
being the judge before whom the case
was tried in Van Buren, county. The
court heard the arguments OF W. NJ.
Walker. of Keosauqua, at torneY for2the
plaintiff, and Judge Mitchell, Of this
city, attorney for the company, ana
took the matter under adyisement.
Yesterday he overruled the motion for
new triafssand if the plaintiff desires

fendents for the alleged negligent
jkillino of Glen Holmes, which occurred
