TO ENTERTAIN ROYALTY.
Count and Countess Doni de Castel-
lane May Lodge King
Menelek.

The sequel to the quarrel between
Boni Castellane and NJ. Rodays, of the
Figaro, has just come to light in the
fashionable world of Paris. Despite
mutual threats of duels and lawsuits
some weeks since, the parties are now
reconciled and there will be no fights.
legal or otherwise. The exact motives
which have induced Rodays to drop
his threatened libel action are not quite
clear, but it is certain that not only is
the reconciliation complete, but that
Rodays is using his influence with the
government to have one of the forth
coming royal visitors to the exposition
lodged at Casteilane's house in the Bois
de Boulogne. 1t is said that Casaellane
is aspiring to the czar. but is more like
ly to get, if any king, Menelek. The
countess is so pleased at the notion of
entertaining royalty on behalf of the
French government that she is using
her influence with the Gould family to
do something more for Boni finan-
cially.

DUEL OF HEARTS BY CABLE
Love at Thirty Cents a Word Sc
cures American Girl for Port-
land Lawyer.

A remarkable engagement has been
made by cable between Miss Julia
Hill, originally from Danbury, Conn.,,
and Mr.. Whitlessy, wealthy Port
land lawyer. Miss Hill is beauty,
who for several years has been great
favorite in the fashionable circles of
Paris. She is special protege of
Mrs. Henry Bispham. Mr.. Whitlessy
met her in Rome last winter, pro-
posed, was refused, went back home,
and was forgotten.
A fortnight ago Miss Hill received
the photograph of man she could
scarcely remember till she read the
accompanying note, which read thus:
"You will see that 1 have cut off my
mustache. Some say look better, so
1 have decided to have another try.
Cable whether you can ever change
your mind about me-"
Miss Hill laughed and cabled:
'It is an immense improvement. l
am pondering the question anew"
Thereupon the lawyer cabled an ap-
peal of 1000 words. and received a
few words of encouragement in re-
ply. An exchange of some 40 mes
sages resulted the other day in Miss
Hills telegraphic acceptance of the
cnce rejected suitor.
Miss Hill has gone to Nice to await
her fiance's coming at the villa of her
aunt there.

CIGARETTES FORBIDDEN.
Chief Willis L. Moore Prohibits
Their Use In the Weather

A death-blow was given cigarette
smoking in the weather service the
other day when Chief Willis L. Moore

connected with the service from smok-
ing cigarettes during office hours,
and stating further that those who
smoked cigarettes at any time would
be mentioned in the confidential re-
ports which are made quarterly to
him by chiefs of the several offices
and divisions throughout the entire
service. The order is plainly worded,
and the chief evidently means that
it shall be obeyed. Chief Moore

A FORTUNE IN ORANGES.
4 San FranciscO Clergyman who
Owns Beautiful ana Valuable
Groves.

Rev. Robert Mackenzie, d. D., pastor
of the first Presbyterian church in this
city and professor in the seminary at
San Anselmo, while attending to the
arduous duties of his ecclesiastical
charge, has found time to make for
Iune. He is a man of great wealth,
says the San Francisco Bulletin, not
inherited but the result of his own
foresight and wise investments.
About five miles from the beautiful
town of Riverside, in the choicest part
of a region where land is marketable
at prices ranging from 81, 900 to 1,S00
per acre, DR.. Mackenzie owns 80 acres.
all in bearing oranges. The land is
covered with trees in full bearing and
is worth in it's present condition about
$15O,000 The income must be very
large, for orange groves pay a large
profit on the capital invested.
DR.. Mackenzie started the orchard in
q small way a number of years ago. He
had few acres, which were carefully
planted. He tended his place with
great zeal, and it is said that Mrs.
Mackenzie herself went over the first
few crops and sorted and boxed them,
labor she would not trust to less
careful hands than her own. This
prudencegave the crop superior quail
ity and reputation. With his annual
profits DIR. Mackenzie extended his
acreage until he became owner of the
present lasge and extremely valuable
groves.
Of course he has made fortune out
of his oranges. He has taken care of
his wealth and is now perhaps the rich
est clergyman in California.

PROJECTILE AIR.
New Theory That Bubbles Driven by
Mauser Bullets Explode in
the Body.

Physicians in South Africa now have
another theory for explaining away
the charges made by both Briton and
Boer that the other is using explosive
bullets, says the New York Sun. The
extensive laceration often found in
bullet wounds is now said to be due to
the air which the bullet drives before it
into the wound. The existence of this
phenomenon can be proved easily. If
a round bullet be dropped into glass
of water from the height of few feet
it will be seen that when the bullet
touches the bottom large bubble of
air will become detached and rise to
the surface. In this case the bubble
will usually be from ten to twenty
times the size of the bullet.
Now a Mauser bullet travelling at
high speed is said to carry before il a
bubble of compressed air of large di-
mensions. Experiments made by a sur
geon who fred pistol ball into glass
of water showed the bubble to be one
hundred times the size of the ball.
From the appearance of the wounds
and from these experiments it is con-
cluded that the mass of air driven by a
Mauser bullet expfodes in the body OF
the wounded man with sufficient fore.
to cause extensive laceration. This de-
structive air bubble is we'll known to
surgeons under the name of projectile
air.

SHAKESPEARE'S FOLIOS.
Highest Price Ever Yet Real
ICED on Similar Work.

A very "talP copy of the first folio
of Shakespeare London, 1929 was
sold in New York at the dispersal of
the library of the late Augustin DAILY
for $500. This is the highest price
on record. The ives copy was sold in
1891 for $4,000. 1t was not nearly as
tall as Mr. Daly's copy, but was in alb
solutely perfect condition. The Dan
iels copy was sold in 1864 for G TIC 2s,
and the Perkins copy in 1889 for e AIS.
A copy offered at the Haynes sale in
this city in 1893 brought only $50, but
there were several leaves in fac simile,
while others had been mended.

MINTS MAY COIN HALF CENTS.
United states Government Realizes
the Growing Demand for
the Small Piece.

A half-cent piece is one of the posi-
bilities of the futu 1t is seriously
proposed to turn out of the mints coin
of this denomination, which, it is
claimed. is needed in trade, especially
in the small shops and at the bargain
counters.
For some time the treasury officials
have been aware of a growing demand
for half-cent coins. The big depart
ment stores in some sections of the
country are the chief advocates of such
an addition to the monetary denomina-
tions. and now bill has been prepared
calling such coin into existence.
Half-cent pieces were once issued by
the government. They went out of use
about half century ago. The one-cent
coin then contained twice as much
metal as the present coin of that de-
nomination. The checks or coins is
sued by the department stores are of
copper, and this could. of course. be the
metal used in the new coin should the
government decide TO issue it.

SHE COWS A BURGLAR.
Pretty schooI-Teacher Threatens to
Scream and Compels Robber
to Disgorge.

How pretty school-teacher cowed
an armed burglar who threatened
murder was made public the other day
in the West side police court, New
York, when q pawnbroker, who had
refused to give up the stolen property,
was arraigend before Magistrate Ieller.
Miss Blanche Stryker, the courageous
school-teacher, returning home one
evening recently saw "A burglar under
the bed in her room. She ordered him
to come from his hiding place. He
crawled out, defiantly asking what she
intended to do. Miss Stryker noticed
that the mans pockets were bulging,
and she said:
Empty your pockets or I will
scream"
81 am armed" replied the man, "and
If you utter a sound will kill you"
Then he reached for his pistol but
Miss Stryker folded her arms and made
no response. The burglar begged to be
let go. Miss Stryker said he could go
after he had emptied his pockets. He
threw several articles on the bed and
said: That's I'll I've got"
you lie!" said Miss Stryker, and as
the man made no further move she
gently added: "I'll scream"
The burglar gave up more stolen ar.
ticles, and when he swore he had no
more Miss Stryker believed him and let
him go.
When a search was made Miss Stryk-
er found that stick pin, gold pen.
Gil and gold watch valued at $1ot
were missing. Detectives found the
property at the pawnbroker's, who
was forced to give il up.

OFFENDED. BY JOKE.
German Ambassador at St. Peters
burg Resents a Witticism.
Petulsntly Complains to the ORend-
er's wife-Unpleasantn Grows
ana May Cause Withdrawal
of the Diplomat.

A dispatch 70 the London Daily News
from Berlin says that quarrel which
may possibly end in the resignation of
Prince Won Radolin, the German am
bassador to Russia, comes from st.
Petersburg. The story goes that at
the last ball of the season in the pa
vihon hall of the Hermitage Gr0nd
Duke vladimir was about to take lady
to supper when he was told that 1t had
been arranged that she should be taken
in by member of the German embassy.
The grand duke thereupon humorous
ly assured the lady that there was
nothing slower than German dip
lomatist.
The remark was made loudly and
jovially and was repeated about the
room. 1t finally reached Prince Won
Radolin in a distorted form, and he
took the incomprehensible step of COM
planning to Grand Duke vladimir's IS
wife, who Is princess Of Mecklenburg,
concerning her husbands joke. Prince
| Won Radolin received rebuff, where
upon he, informed Count Muravieff,
Russian minister of foreign affairs, who
tried to adjust the trouble. He request
ed the ambassador to apologize to
Grand Duchess Marie, Vladimir's wife
who, apparently, was very angry with
Prince Won Radolin. The grand duchess
refused to accept an apology and de.
clareds that she did not wish to see
Prince Won Radolin again, adding that
she intended TO avoid all society where
he would be present.
1t is generally presumed in court
circles that the ambassador will soor
leave his post. The German foreign
office has caused an inspired paragraph
to be published declaring that rumor,
of Prince Won Radolin's resignation
are utterly unfounded. The CORE
spondent admits that the story needs
confirmation. ts
