The Tucson citizen., 1902-10-11

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-When Miss
Alice Roosevelt came to Washington
this week it was noticed that she wore
a star-shaped beauty patch just below
her left cheek. This revival of a by
gone fashion is exceedingly becoming
to the presidents daughter. MissDaisy
Letter, who has recently returned from
Bar Harbor and who is enroute to the
coronation durbar at Delhi, India, also
wears beauty spot.
It is said that this custom of seven
teenth century bellies will be as prevail
ent at the capital this winter as 1t has
been all summer and autumn in Lon
don. Returned travellers say the fash
ion owes it's revival to the fact that the
Queen wore a small patch at the coro-
nation of King Edward.
Those who are standing sponsors for
the new custom say that there are
wonderful possibilities in the wearing
of the beauty patch. It's language is
almost as varied as that of flowers.
Worn as the presidents daughter
wears it-that is, to the left of the chin

CUPID'S MEAN TRICK
ON A VETERAN OF IS
Old Capt. Tdnseu, Hero Of Two
Wars, Divorced bu His Bride
OF Twenty.

GUTHRIE, Okla, Oct. 11.-Cupid
has played brave old Captain Tansey,
a Mexican and civil war veteran mean
trick. At thre score and fifteen he fell
in love with and married the widow
Harvey, aged twenty That was two
months ago.
Capt. Tansey marched back to
Guthrie from his honeymoon this week
divorced by his bride, forced to pay
o monthly alimony and court costs and
enjoined from going to the home which
he had furnished for his wife and his
mother-in-law.
The captain says that will be about
all' for him matrimonially.
He is one of the wealthiest and most
k;ghly Respected citizens of Guthrie.
He had been a widower for forty years
when he met Alta Harvey. They were
married in Oklahoma City and went to
Indianapolis on their honeymoon.
There his mother-in-law received him
as a son. She was prevailed upon by
the bride to accompany them to Kan
sas City, where Captain Tansey bought
a house and installed her and her
tlaugk 'er. In less than two weeks Mrs.
Tansey apparently lost interest in her
veteran husband. and finally she ap-
piled for and obtained a divorce.
The injunction put Captain Tansey in
a tight place He had only the clothes
on his back and could not go home to
get Others After pleading with the
judge, he was allowed to return to the
honse with a policeman and get his
trunk and some books
Despite his advanced years, Captain
Tansey tried to enlist at the breaking
out of the war with Spain. He is
agile and healthy, and does not look
over fifty. He says he nearly escaped
the scrutiny of the enlisting officer
He has held several political positions
in Oklahoma and was at one time a
member of the Kansas legislature. AS
a stump speaker he is considered a
power by the republicans.

TRAIN ROBBERS, RAK6 IN S50,000
NEW PRINCIPLE IN
BIOLOGY DISCOVERED
Paints Mdu be Crossed With Mdthe-
mdtlCdI Certainty as to Re-
suits.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 11.-GOv-
ernment scientists who have just re-
turned from the international confer
ence on plant breeding and hybridiza-
tion in New York are unqualifedly en-
thusiastic over the exploitation of
new principle in biology which they
describe as discovery as important as
that of the atomic theory of matter, or
Darwin's enunciation of the origin of
species.
This principle, known as Mendalls
law, will, it is maintained, enable the
breeder of plants, and to a somewhat
less degree of animals, to hybridiZe and
cross varieties with the same certainty
with which the chemist compounds
materials or the mathematician works
out an equation.
Mendalrs law, briefly stated, is that
first cross will result in offspring re-
sembling one or the other parent, but
possessing in an undeveloped form,
termed by German scientists recess
ive,' the attributes of the other. The
second cross will result in fixed types
possessing, respectively, the character
istics of both parents in varying de-
grees.
An example furnished is an follows:
"A cross between Japanese (colored)
dancing mice and non-dancing Albino
(white) mice will inevitably produce in
the second generation prototypes of
each of the original progenitors, and
also dancing Albinos and non-dancing
Japanese mice, each in the approx
innate proportion of one--fourth.
IA botanical experiment conducted by
Spilman consisted Of the crossing of a
bearded wheat having hairy or ''vel-
vet chaff, with a beardless wheat,
having smooth or 'glabrous" chaff.
The second generation consisted of
four varieties, two resembling the
originals. one bearded with glabrous
chaff, the other beardless with velvet
chaff, and each variety was produced
in the proportion of one-fourth. Fur
ther experiments demonstrated that
each variety was ''true bred" in sub
sequent generations.

BEHUTY PITCHES HGhIN IN FHSHtON
MISS HLlCE ROOSEVELT WEARS ONE

it means an unplighted maiden of an
affectionate disposition and fond of
pleasure.
Miss Daisy Letter wears the patch
somewhat more conspicuously-on her
left cheek, about an inch below the
eye. This means fondness of adven-
ture and proclaims the wearer single.
The young woman who places a
patch in the center of her left cheek
announces to all beaux and admirers
that she is engaged. A patch similarly
placed on the right cheek says that the
wearer is married. Worn just below
the right eye it audaciously announces
fiirt. When the maiden puts her
speck of black below her right cheek
she wishes the world to understand
that she prefers intellectual pleasures
There are scores Of notifications OF
, these meanings.
Several of the buds. hold meetings
each day in their homes and read the
best authority on beauty patch lore.
1t is predicted that there will be few
gatherings this winter when this Inn
ported style will not be apparent.

end when he persisted in Sticking" his
bulldog on her mother. And the dog
came in for a share of his displeasure,
Mrs. Wesley asserts, when it refused to
bite his mother-in-law. She declares
that one of Uriah Wesley's methods of
making things uncomfortable in the
house was to wait until his wife and
mother-in-law were seated at the table
and then seek to enliven the meal by
"distasteful mother-in-law jokes"
When his mother-in-law got up from
the table Mrs. Wesley says he would
call his vicious, no-acount bull pup"
and call "Sic 'er, Tige!" and if Tige re-
fused to bite the old lady Wesley would
whip the dog.
