Washington, June IL Why

nominee for the president be a
southern mani We have adyanc-
ed far enough in this investigation
to turn the tables on those who
have for forty years held it mex
pedient, and to PROFOUND the inter-
rogatory in inverse form. There
is no longer a valid reason. Gov
ernment is instituted to protect
each citizen in his equal right and
opportunity to pursue happiness
and Legitimate wealth as he pleases,

combination Of others, and to give
to each free, equal, open access
to opportunities to advance him

JUDGE SPRINGER's chief object
in annoy ing the government with

by some as a grand bluff. Mr.
Springer is a man of exceptionally

II may therefor be necessary to
construct a new deal through con

rest on the matter of jurisdiction.

A FORTUNE IN GEMS.
Stolen in London from the Head of
 the Paget Family.
Marquis of Ans1esey, England's nroat Eccentric NobIeman, Robbed at HoteI--His Wedding and
 nfvorce

The marquis of Anglesey (Henry Cyril Paget), who is stopping at the Walsingham hotel, at London, was robbed the other night of jewels of the value of $2oo,0oo. The marquis was at the theater when his room was robbed.
 The marquis of Anglesey, the head of the famous Paget family of Eng land, is one of the wealthiest and admittedly the most eccentric mem Der of the British aristocracy. He has an income of $1, ,00o, ,000 a year, likes to dress as woman, carries pug dogs in his promenades on the Paris boulevards, wears rings on every finger and delightS to appear as a skirt dancer and lightning change artist on it's music hall stage in European capitals.
 Two years ago, says the Chicago Tribune, the marquis of Anglesey, then earl of Uxbridge, married the beautiful Miss Chetwynd, daughter of Sir George Chetwynd and the mar chioness of Hastings. She, was only IT years old, of beautiful and refined features, with violet eyes and masses of Venetian red hair. They were cousins, and it was declared at the time that the marriage was arranged in order that they might jointly in herit property which both would have lost if they did not marry each other.
 Eighteen months after their wed- ding the marchioness applied to the English courts for divorce. The terms of separation prove the mar quis, eccentricity. For the first year he allowed her $15,O0O and $4,5oO to pay debts contracted while they were living together. The second year he was to pay her $2O,oOO, the next, if they were still separated, $25,0O0, and so on, the allowance increasing $5,O0o each year until it reached $50,000.
 The young marchioness was friend ly with Princess Frederick Hohen-

Mr Mason is without question one of Amerlca's foremost leading men and at Daly's theater. New York, where he was at the head of the Daniel Frohman Stock company for the past two seasons, he created all the leading roles in the different productions staged by that famous organization. In the metrop- oils he has the reputation of being one of the few really good leading men on the stage to-day. sgThe Altar of Friendship" which MT Mason and company will present here, was most favorably received in Boston and is reported to be one of the seasons real successes. It is a charming comedy with enough pathos interwoyen to make the proper blending of light and shade. Mir Mason's many friends here will doubtless be out in force to greet him on his debut here as star Sale of seats Thursday.

MODES FOR MEN.

A few of the dress shirts will have very fine ribbed pique bosoms, but the pique bosom is not so popular, and most shirts will have only the plain bosom.
 For wear with business suits plaited colored shirts will be quite popular. it is thought. The plain negligee with a center plait, and made of madras or fine flannel, will also be worn to some extent. The f1annels are designed for negligee and come in stripes.
 There will be more fancy waistcoats worn than usual, probably. The buff waistcoat, so popular last season and the season befpre, is no longer in vogue, while the white waistcoat with small stripes will De used almost en- tirely. It looks neat always, and is in the best form.
 The dark co1ored shirt is gone for the present. White shirt will prevail, and when colors are used at all. they will be only in che simplest shades. generally in some small figure on a white background The shirts will have fine lines, and the bosom will be inst as wide as the chest of fhe wearer.

(The Erratic Head of the Ancient House of Paget) lohe, daughter of Count HatzfeIdt, the German ambassador.
 The princess was credited with sug- gesting the annulment of the mar riage, for she wished to bring about a match between her brother, Count Herman Hatzfeldt, and the young Englishwoman.
 Afterwards Lady Anglesey and Princess Hohenlohe quarreled. The marchioness and her former husband met at Paris, became reconciIed, were seen everywhere together, and even travelled together. So society was not surprised last May when she app pealed to the English courts to have her decree of divorce annulled. Her request was granted.
 The marquis of Anglesey last year created sensation by accepting an engagement on a music hall stage at Munich, where he appeared in Representations making lightning changes in costumes characteristic of different nations His talent in this line is said to be remarkable.
 The Anglesey title was won by Lord Uxbridge on the field of Waterloo.
 The British nation has been heay- fly taxed to support the Paget fam fly. Thirty-four Pagets have been carried on the national payroll dur ing--the last 33 years. The titled members of the family have borne regulations more or less savory. One of the first holders of the marquis ate was twice directly concerned in divorce proceedings before the house of lords.
 The father of the present marquis was gay man. When he married and settled down his past sins rose be. fore him. One day there was slight fire in the Anglesey castle, Plas Newydd, and a lot of hand grenades were ordered to guard against flu ture emergencies.
 The butler hung up the grenades in every place he could think of, and, having dozen left, approached the marquis, saying:
 What shall we do with these?'
 The marquis thought a moment and then said, sadly:
