1t Is always interesting to know what
colors are used or selected by royal
families rs being their very own. To
England, the only royal family of mod
ern times which has selected 1t, belongs
scarlet, and 1t must be confessed that 1t
Is most effective color. The royal
households of Portugal, Prussia, Swe-
den and most of the German princes
wear blue, Russia chooses dark green,
and Austria delights in black and yel-
low. According to the usual belief
scarlet, as the royal household color of
England, was chosen because of the
red rose of the Plantagenets, but this
Is not true. 1t was taken from the
field gules of the royal standard and
from Henry's adoption Of the scarlet
dress of the yeomen of the guard.
In days gone by 1t was the privilege
of the aldermen's wives to wear scar
let gowns, but Englishmen having an
nounced in song and story that they
never will be slaves the general Eng
lish woman of today is never SO happy
as when she has an entire red gown
or coat or some touch of the glowing
color about her.

Nor yet the beauty Of her eyes,
With the deep look Of soft surprise,
IT'S not the wit 30 often heard
Where wisdom lines each airy word,
It's not her humoss grave and gay
That give my lady all her sway.

Hangs not upon the passing hour;

She Is my lady and my dame.

CHARGED WITH CONTEMPT
TWO CHICAGO NEWSPAPER MEN
IN THE TOLLS.
One OF the Men Known in Texas-Pro
coedinss Grew Out of an Article in
Hearses Chicago American.

Chicago, November 12.-on a charge of
contempt OF court Judge Hanecy today
sentenced Andrew NJ. Lawrence, managing
edltor OF Hearts Chicago American 10
forty days in the county Jail. The
sentence of II. s, Garfield, who wrote the
article objected TO by the court, was dxed
at thirty days in jail The cases against
5. 5. Carvalho, financial manager of the
paper, and John c. Hammond. assistant
city editor, were dismissed. Judge Hanecy
declared that the cases against W. r.
Hearst, majority stockholder OF the paper,
Homer Davenport, cartoonIst, and Clare
Briggs, also cartoonlst would pend until
such time as these respondents could be
brought into court by the sheriff.
Former Governor Altgelds one OF counsel
for the respondents, entered formal ex-
ceptlon TO the decision, This case, may
say" the court remarked, is not appeal
able. You may lille a bill Of exceptions
for writ of error, however. / am willing
renee and Mr., Canheld till you have drawn
up the bill"
I'VE don't feel that we have any favors
swered. I'VE are much obliged"
The court room was crowded to the limit
when Judge Hanecy read the decision.
The article In the American upon which
the proceedings In the contempt were based
was criticism OF the courts decision on
an application for the forfeiture Of the
charter of the Peoples Gas Light and Coke
company.
Judge Haneey said II the matter pub
llshed were allowed to go unnoticed by the
court. II paved the way for other attacks
and that the judiciary, n not held In re-
spect, would fall with all democratic gov
eminent. The article, the court declared,
was not merely nm attack on the people
and on the court, but a bold threat 10
every other court. II should therefore not
go unpublished.
few minutes after the rendering or
the decision and the imposition OF the
sentences as to Lawrence and Candeld
Judge Dunno, upo1- application, Issued a
writ or habeas corpus, as to them, return
able Immediately.
when Mcssrs. Garfield and Lawrence ap-
peared before Judge EIanecy this afternoon
ready for commitment, the court announced
that lnasmuch rs he understood Judge
Dunno had issued 2 writ Of habeas corpus
before the men were sentenced, he would
take no action IN the matter until that
writ had been vacated. II was decided
however, to hold the writ In allegiance until
the commitment papers have been made out
and the men delivered into the custody OF
the sheriff This probably win he done
on Friday.
Mr. Garfield was formNrly identified with
the newspaper interests In Texas.

DICKINSON SENT A NOTE
REMINDED BULGARIAN MINISTER OF
HIS PROMISES,
Repeated His Demand for the Non-inter-
fer,nce OF the Government in the
Negotiations for Miss Stone.

Sofa, Bulgaria, November 12.-Consul
General Dickinson has supplemented his
verbal representations to the Bulgarian
government by a note today In which he
recapitulates the history of the abduction
by brlgands of Miss Ellen NJ Stone and
her companion, Nine. Tsilka, and the steps
taken to obtain her release and reminds the
foreign minister of his promise to give
every assistance. He cites instances where
the attitude of subordinate officials has not
conformed with this assurance. Finally Mr..
Dickinson repeats his demand for the non
interference of the government In the nego-
tiations.
The governments reply, according TO the
opinion expressed in official circles. will
set forth that while hesitadng TO establish
the precedent that the government give
protection to brlsands IN treating for the
ransom of captiyes in the present cases
involving the safety OF the TWO ladies'; the
government, as an act OF courtesy anu hu-
manity, will comply with MI DICKINSON
request.
4 private agent who was employed TO
visit Doubritza, reports that the members
of the secret committee We're discussing
the lowest terms of ransom that would be
one member OF the committee informs the
correspondcnt OF the Associated Press that
he had been invited TO join the band ana
TO take part In the kidnapping, but mat ne
refused and deprecated an attack upon
an inoffensive woman, pointing ont that
such action was calculated to cost the
committee more In sympathy and support
than the value Of twenty rnnsOms.
This view seems TO he dawning gradual
IL even in Bulgarian circles, where the kid
naping Is condoned as in the Interest OF
sacred cause.
