PRINCESS OF PLESS.
Considered by Many the Handsom-
est Woman in Europe.
One of the Most Popular Ladies at the
Courts of England, Germany
and Austria-COmes of Fa-
nous Ancestry.

With one accord Princess Henry of
Pless has been hailed as the belle of
the last season in London. The sister,
in-law of Lady Randolph Churchill and
own sister of the handsome young
duchess of Westminster, with her
masses of light golden hair, her blue
eyes and superb figure, divided with
the duchess of Marlborough honors at
the recent Anglo-American coronation
bazaar. As one of the Intimate friends
Of King Edward and Queen Alex
andra, as well as on account of her
beauty, she was one of the most court
ed women at the different royal soirees
held during the season, and ordinarily
unbending London hostesses We'd with
each other to secure her presence at
their balls and receptions.
Although the princess is the wife of
a German nobleman-she married
Prince Henry in 1SY1-and is as well
come a guest at the kaiser's court as at
that of Edward VII, she spends by far
the greater part of the year in her
native land. She is the eldest daugh-
ter of Col. CORVALLIS West and his
handsome wife, all of whose children
have made brilliant matches.
The duke of Westminster, who chose
as his duchess Princess Henry's young
er sister, Sheila, is, of course, the great
est land owner in London, and one OF
the richest men in England. The fam
lily was not over-pleased when George
CORVALLIS West, after being wounded
in South Africa and nursed back to
health on the Maine by Lady Randolph
Churchill, decided to marry his titled
attendant. Their objections were, how
ever, made only on account of the diff
ference in age of the parties" and
the union seems to be a happy one.
Although Princess Henry of Pless
spends comparatively SO little time at

Killed the Snake.

The deadly pest" as the investigat-
ing committee has been calling it, has
been slain in the vault of the state in
surance department at the capitol, st.

Deputy Commissioner Lightbourne had

Melted by a capitol janitor just after it

her husbands castle at Fursten-
stein, she is immensely popular
with the German people, who, on
account of her delicate beauty,
have named her ''the fairy prin-
cess" The kaiser dotes on her. As
soon as he heard that she was to have
a stall at the coronation bazaar his
majesty sent her over particularly
choice lot of German chinaware to be
sold, and when William lis yacht, Me-
teor, was at Cowes last autumn, the
princess and her husband were invited
to use her as if she were their own.
Both the kaiser and King Edward
wanted to be godfather to the princess
only son, so the two monarchs di-
vided the honor, and the proud mother
recompensed them by naming her baby
boy Wilhelm Albert Edward.
The princess, as a true English girl,
both hunts and boats well. Though
born without a title, she was by no
means overwhelmed by the rank
brought to her by her marriage, for
she has always been especially proud
of her ancestry. On her fathers side
she traces her pedigree straight back
to Henry III. of England, while on
that of her mother, who was Mary Fitz-
Patrick, granddaughter of the marquis
of Headford, the princess claims de-
cent from the Celtic kings, who, as she
gayly says, "were lording it in Great
Britain when German princelings were
in the robber baron stage"
The family of Prince Henry, who,
by the way, is almost as fond as his wife
of being in England, is, however, of
great antiquity, its present head being
the fifteenth of his line. It's history
deals with conquest and diplomacy in
four or five different kingdoms.

GOLFERS RAPID RISE.
Due to His Ability to Grasp Every
New Problem.
New York's Democratic Candidate
for Governor Is an Illinois Prod
uct-His Splendid Record as
City Comptroller.

Bird S. Coler, who was nominated
for governor by the democratic state
convention at Saratoga, n. Y, was
comptroller of New York city under
Mayor Van Wyck, and his record in
that office made him a gubernatorial
possibility several years ago. He is
member Of the firm of w. n. Coler d.
Co., bankers. He was born at Urbana,
ILL.,, 33 years ago.
Since Mr.. Coler has been in public life
he has been well advertised. This in
a large measure has been due to the
keen appreciation he has of news" in
the professional sense. When the fight
against the great Ramapo grab of
$200,000,000 was on, several years ago,
Golfer was cartooned as the David hurl-
ing his sling at the mighty Goliath of
Graft. When the movement for rapid
transit began to take material shape
it was Coler who championed tunnels
when Van Wyck, then mayor, tried to
put all the surplus city funds into
bridges. When disclosures were made
as to the reckless way in which the
SOi POlollOh SOuiiSNA 49,
confessing judgments and allowing
cases to be settled without trial it was
Coler who went to Albany and secured
the passage of restraining act.
When the fright over water famine
came, and the demand was made for
new source of supply for New York
city, Coler paid $4,000 from his own
pocket to John r. Freeman, of Provi-
dence, r. l., to make a survey of all
available water sheds. When the West
street grab" was attempted, by which
a private corporation would have en-
circled the water front with freight
railroad, Coler, with his own funds, EN-
ployed ex-Judge John F. Dillon to pre-
pare an opinion for presentation at the
hearing before Gov. Odell. During the
four years of his term as a city official

temperance, and described England as
"a drunken nation" AS for Mrs. Carrie
Nation, she laughed heartily over the
Kansas amazon, said that she was mis-
guided and that her efforts to reform
drunkards did more harm than good.
Lady Somerset handled the question
of canteen in the army without gloves,
and said that the time was not far dds
tant when Intoxicating liquor would
not be tolerated even in the English
army.
"Drunke nness is on the increase in
England" said Lady Somerset. Il am
really ashamed to tell the American
people in what a deplorable state the
United Kingdom is. 1t has become a
less to work for its reformation. In
the army alone, the very place where
one would expect to find it, less. spirits
are used than formerly.
'"The increase in intoxication at
home is due to the spread of the dis
ease among women. I am very sorry
to hear that women in America are

not believe it. / had such great hope
of American women. They always
seemed to have more backbone and
will power than my country women.
"To illustrate to you how women
abroad have taken to drink, 1 want to
say that about Is years ago, the aver
age of arrests in London for int oxica-
ton was four men to one woman. Now
it is three women to one man.
"Why is it? Well, one of the chief
reasons is that there has been too
much privacy about the public houses
of late, and women are how able to go
to any Of them without being seen by
the public.
"The increase in drink among women
has naturally made a great increase in
crime. The reason is apparent. Wom-
en- are more excitable, sensitive and
nervous in drink than men, and In this
condition will~.commit crime more
readily. The school bill that was
passed prohibiting the sale of liquor
to children under IA years has stopped
drunkenness to some extent, but it is
only drop in the bucket"

himself an enthusiastic home ruler,
and being an Irishman, having extern
sive business relations with the late
Joseph Biggar, declared revolution
list, Upton was considered good enough
to be offered seat in parliament in the
nationalist interest. His generous
purse would have been welcomed. he
declined the invitation on the ground
that while he believed in home rule
within certain limitations, he could not
subscribe to the separatist policy.
Since the death of Mr.. Gladstone, Sir
Thomas political views have changed,
and, as he is an intimate friend of Lord
Rosebery, it is more than likely he will
enter parliament under the banner of
that statesman who has nearly all the
aristocratic lady politicians-with
whom Sir Thomas is so popular-on his
side.
The constituency in which Sir Thorn
as lives has invited him to contest the
seat in the liberal interest, but there is
a conservative majority there which it
would be almost impossible to upset.
If Sir Thomas could have the choice he
would prefer. Scotch seat, and Glas-
gov, where he laid the foundation of
his huge business, would welcome him
as a representative. 1t is certain that
he will be soon in the house of COM
mons, and, with Lord Rosebery as his
guide, philosopher and friend, his
progress in reaching the upper house
should be neither slow nor hazardous.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
The Banner County.

{ Redwood county still holds the
banner in the matter of the state ap-
preparation for rural schools, the
county having forty-eight rural
schools that will receive the special
state aid for schools having advanced
conditions. Hennepin county comes
next with thirty-eight, or five less
than Redwood county, while Otter
Tail trails along with twenty-four,
Olmstead with twenty-three, and Blue
Earth and Wright counties twenty
two each. Superintendent Race in his
annual report, states that Redwood
county made greater progress last
year than dusing any previous one.
He favors the consolidation of rural
schools, and believes that the system
will soon be put into effect. He also
says that compulsory education in
the county, and probably in the state
at large, is not fact, producing fig
ures to show that trustees and other
officers do not enforce the law.

Fewer Accidents.

The state labor bureau has just COM
pleted tabulation of the accident sta
tistics of Minnesota for the past two
years. The record is necessarily an in
complete one, as many owners of in
dustrial plants are very careless about
making the returns on accidents which
the law requires.
The record covers the whole twelve
months of 1901 and the nine months of
1902. During that time the first twelve
months showed record of nine acct
dents to every 1000 workers, while the
record for the following nine months
indicates better fortune in the shape
of only six accidents per 1000. The
classification of damages shows that
reports range all the way from actual
fatalities down to the unpleasant but
hardly dangerous experience of getting
slivers in the hand
