 In all the host and hostess were the recipient of ffty-fvc pieces of elegant silvcrwarc. Space would preclude a description of all of them but amongst the uncomfortable were a costly coffee set, very elaborately finished and two beautiful cake dishes.

The society underwent many changes last week. The fore part was resplend- ent with the Howard reception, which was a very elaborate function, and other events. but as the week wore on a feeling of sadness came over many. for the inevitable hour when they should be compelled to say the final farewell to Mrs Sehlbrede and her lovely daughters. who have been so prominent in social affairs was drawing on. and yesterday many of the society were busy evidencing their admiration for the departing friends and express. ing regrets at their leayin.
 The Camera Club had its formal opening and it was a very enjoyable affair.

 The change in the night made by the Magpie club for holding its popu- lar dances is a good thing for society, for many of the people were very de. sirous of attending the clubs hops but were restrained from doing SO by other engagements on that evening.

NO FUNDS FOR HER. RANSOM
State Department Has No Authority

WASHINGTON, Oct 6-The machin-
cry of the department of state is now at
work to save from death or prolonged
captivity Miss Helen Stone, the mission
airy who was kidnapped in Turkey The
president himself has become actively in
terested in the matter. Today DR.. Sam
uel H. Capen, president of the American
beard of missions, and Dr. eJudson
Smith, the foreign secretary of that
board, arrived in Washington from Bos-
ton, and went directly to the state de-
partment. After an hours conference
with Acting Secretary Adee and Solicitor
Penf1eld, they were escorted to the White
house. President Roosevelt gave close
attention to their statement.
Although the department of state al
ready had taken up the matter, President
Roosevelt laid fresh injunctions upon Mr.
Adee to spare no effort to accomplish the
purpose he had in view of releasing Miss
Stone. The clergymen were highly graft

president and the state department off,

satisfied that the United States govern
ment is doing everything possible in Miss
Stones behalf. Owing to the peculiar
conditions of this case, none of the par
ties to today's conference was at liberty
to make a statment for publication re-
specting the measures to be adopted. 1t
is gathered that whatever may be done
in the future, in punitive way, Miss
Stone must be ransomed to begin with.
Probably the money must come from
the mission board or from private con-
tribut1ons, for the state department has
no funds which may be used to pay the
ransom.

cause of the annual floods which occur
in the vicinity of Aitkin. Mr. Kathan
stated this afternoon that it was not only
the intention of the people of Ait6in to
prevent furher improvements here but
EFFORT VIII be made to have the dam re-

which this action will be taken and upon
Which the war department will be ap-

WITH ANCIENT POMP
THE CORONATION OF EDWARD VII.
OF ENGLAND AND THE
QUEEN CONSORT
THE EARL MARsHAL's RULES
Make Minute Regulations Regard
ing the Robes of the Peers and
Peeresses Summoned
to Attend.

LONDON. Oct. 5.-There is qiiite
flutter in high society owing to the fact
that the earl marshal has issued the
rules and regulations governing what is
to be worn at the coronation of King
Edward next year. The whole docu-
ment breatheS of the Middle Ages, when
distinctions in dress were considered so
essential, and the quaintness of the
phraseology in which the attendance Of
the nobility of the United Kingdom is
required lat the ceremony of the royal
coronation of their most sacred maJes-
ties" and describing the regulations IN
regard to dresses and head dress is dis
tinctly medieval There is curious
graduation in the fur trimmings OF the
robes which emphasize distinctions eX-
listing in the ranks of the aristocracy.
All the peers have been notified that
their robes must be of crimson velvet
edged with miniver, the cap furred with
miniver pure and powdered, with bars
or rows of ermine according to their de-
gree
Here follows the numerous graduations
distinguishing between ale rank BaronS
are allowed . rows of ermine, viscounts
21a rows. earls 8, marquises 31a rows and
dukes rows. All the nantes and
robes must be worn over full court dress
uniforms or regimentals.
The earl marshaPs order banishes
counterfeit pearls and all jewels from
coronets which are to be ''silver gilt,
the caps of crimson velvet, turned up
with ermine with gold tassels on top.
No jewels or precious stones are to
be set or used in coronets, nor counter
feits of pearls instead of silver balls.
The number of the latter permitted
reveals a nice sense of --,--nction. A
baron's coronet bears six silver balls. "a
viscount's 16. an earl's S,with gold straw
berry leaves between; marquis A balls
and 4 leaves alternately. A uuke's cor
onet has no balls and has only gold
strawberry leaves. The earl marshal
next prescribes the mantles to be worn
by the peeresses. These are of the same
materials as the mems with similar
graduations in the numbers of bars of
ermine and balls. Lengths of trains
mark the different ranks. A baroness
is only allowed a train of feet, a Wis
countess has IA yards, countesses have
~ yards, a marchioness has IA yards
and a duchess 2 yards.
Then follows a curt notification as to
who shall be excluded. Peeresses in
their own right and widows of peers
are allowed to come but widows who
have remarked beneath their rank in
the peerage are not entitled to sum-
mons to attend the coronation

READING,-sP Pa Oct. 5.-The Amalga-

ployes tonight ordered strike on the
entirestsystem of the United Traction
company, covering sixty miles of track.
The company was partially prepared for
q strike. As the cars were, run into the

men manned the cars and conmenced
running them Later in the evening some
OF the cars were withdrawn, several Of
the branches were tied up and others
crippled. The exact situation will.not be
known until tomorrow morning. The
company employs over 200 men and the;
officials claim thata large majority will
refuse to strike. On the other hand the.
labor leaders declare the entire system
will be tied up. The trouble grew out of
the discharge of twenty-five men who APP
pealed for arbitration of their case. Two
arbitrators representing the company and
the others representing the men. held
several meetings, but they could not
agree upon the fifth arbitrator. The
union men alleged that the company. was

TENCE OF CUBAN COURT
MARTIAL
CASE OF PRIVATE DARRELL
Suspected of Murder, He Deserted
From the Seventh Cavalry-Re-
captured in south Africa
a Year Later.

WASHINGTON Oct. 5.-The copies Of
general orders from the department of
Cuba, just received at the war depart
ment, contain the records of an interest,"
ing court-martial trial. Logs Darrell, a
private in Troop G, Seventh cavalry, was
tried on charge of desertion, found
guilty and sentenced to be dishonorably
discharged from the service. The re-
viewing authority found much fault with
the finding of the court, holding that the
penalty imposed for the offense committed
was "scandalously inadequate" and that
all the testimony presented to the court
was that of the accused in his own be-
half. Darrell pleaded guilty, with ex-
tenuating circumstances"
The eXtenuating circumstances, says
Gen. Wood, the reviewing authority, were
that Darrell was suspected of murder by
the majority of his troop. On the morn
ing of April Is. 1900, Henry L. Crouch,
private in Troop G, Seventh cavalry,
was found murdered in an ordnance store
house tent adjoining the barracks OF
his troop at Pinar del Rio, Cuba. TWO
coat straps were round his neck, plainly
showing that he had been straugled, and
his skull was crushed, evidently. by a
Ratchet or other blunt instrument. He
was known to have had money on his
person His pockets were turned inside
out indicating the object of the crime.
Circumstances pointed to Darrell, it is
stated, as one of the perpetrators of the
deed, and while an investigation was
being made, Darrell
DESERTED HIS POST,
went to Havana, then to New Orleans,
and there took passage for South Africa.
On the 18th of the following July =
was apprehended at Beira, South Africa,
and returned to Cuba for trial. He was
tried before the audencia of Pinar del
Rio on a charge of murder and ac-
quilted. He Immediately went to Col
ombia barracks and surrendered himself
to the commanding officer and was then
tried and sentenced on a charge of deser-
ton.
In rebuking the court, the reviewing
authority points out that Darrell was
absent from his command from the 18th
of May, 1900, to the 9rd of June, 1901, over
a year, and that even if no attempt TO
desert could have been established, an
absence without leave for so long a Pc
riod warranted some penalty by way Of
Imprisonment and not simply a dis
charge from the service. In closing his
review of the case, Gen. Wood says: "If
such ideas of military justice as the rec
ord In this cases discloses are permitted
to prevail the consequences to the dis
cipline of the army cannot fail to be
disastrous"
