BREACH Oh PROMIER
AGAINST A DUKE
Hiss Knights Suit Against
Manchester Is a
Sensation

London March THE Manchester
sensation promises to rival the West
minister scandal. Although the Duke
of Manchester asserts that the writ has
not been served upon him in the suit
of Miss Portia Knight for alleged
breach of promise, this is quite i'm
material, as the writ has been issued
and proceedings have commenced. Miss
Knight is an American, % or p years
old. She was on the st1ge in New
York for a short time and has been
living privately in London for year
Il regret that this affair has be-
come public" she said. ''I thought II
would all be done in camera. | do hope
It will not be taken up by the Ameri-
can papers. I have brought suit not
because l desired publicity, but be-
cause l felt in duty bound to all my
friends here in England. For their
sake, as well as my own, have every
wish that the proceedings should be as
private as possible"
When Miss Knights solicitors were
called upon they declined to give any
details or to more than confirm the
report that Miss Knight had COM
menced action.
This entirely unexpected sequel 10
one Of the most interesting marriages
between American heiresses and rep
resentatives OF the British peerage had
its inception shortly after the Duke of
Manchester so suddenly made Miss
Zimmerman a duchess. Miss Knights
allegations are not yet obtainable, but
it is evident that she is in earnest and
that the suit was brought without any
idea Of gaining publicity. Unlike the
duchess, Miss Knight is a pronounced
brunette, with an olive complexion.

To Patrons Public School,
Clarksburg, W. Va.


During the last month o number Of
cases OF typhoid fever have developed
among students Of the public schools
and other persons In the city. A ma
jority of the cases are among our stu
dents, fact which has given rise TO
considerable uneasiness among pa
irons Of the schools. That the public
may know the exact situation and we
trust feel more security, we publish
the following statement;
For years the students Of Central
school have been drinking water from
a well on an adjoining lot. -Four
weeks ago a number of cases of typhoid
fever were known to exist In the
neighborhood of that well and among
the students. Since that time the
supply of drinking water has been
gotten from the we'll recently bored
on the school grounds.
The we'll on the school premises
which furnishes the present water
supply is 10 feet deep, is cased down
about 40 feet TO solid rock, Is fur
nished with new pump and is Sc
curely covered ut the top so as to keep
all trash from falling inside the cas-
ing. The water in the we'll has iron
and possibly sulphur in solution. It's
location is on one of the highest spots
Ia that part Of the city, thus prevent
ing a possible drainage in that direc-
t,oV, Fror,, adtofpty,,r lore
The school building Is heated and
ventilated by the Peck Williamson
hot air system, and the company
claims that It is one OF the most sue
cessfully ventilated buildings they
have furnished. The building is clean
throughout, the basement is excep-
tlonaIly dry and entirely free from Of
fensiye odors OF any kind. The clos
cts are flushed every live minutes and
are as clean as any other part of the
building. No decaylng matter has
accumulated on the school grounds.
Asa further precaution a number
u physicians, Including two members
OF the city school board, have exam
ined the sanitation OF the premises.
Within the last month the president
Of the city board OF health has made
an examination Of the building,
grounds and the we'll, and he pro-
nounces all in good condition. ANY
patron, wishing to make q personal ex-
animation, Is invited to do SO.
We trust there will be no further
spread OF disease and that all children
now sick will speedily recover.
