GONZALES RELEASED.

The Extraditior Law Does Not Cover
His Case.
Laredo, Texas, November ia do
eision was handed down today by Judge
Waller r. Burns, in the United States court
of the Southern district Of Texas, liberat-
ing Rafael Gonzales, Mexican citizen,
for whose extradition proceedings had been
pending. Gonzales was q member OF a
Mexican Arm doing an export and import
business, which failed some time age. as a
result of Gonzales cashing overdrafts
against the firm. Gonzales extradition was
asked for on the charge OF embez5lement.
As the extradition treaty OF Mexico with
the United States reads "embezzlement by
any person or persons hired or salaried to
the detriment OF their employers" etc,
Judge Burns granted Gonzales his liberty
be classed as "hired" or "salaried."

Love in a Fifth avenue mansion is SO
much more fascinating than love in a
cottage But the triumph of Mrs. Penn

more surprising, owing to the fact that
a few years ago she was a stranger to
New York whereas she may now be re-
gadred as one of the leaders of the fash

you must remember that it was about
that period when she went to Newport.
she had only a few friends. She had
that same Southern adaptability. The
difference was only that in her own State
Mrs. Pembroke Jones, as Miss Greene
had come from very long line OF an
cestry I believe one of her ancestors
signed the famous Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and that means a great deal in
the little conservative colonies of North
and South Carolina and Georgia There
the aristocracy remains as it was in the
Colonial lays.
Mrs Pembroke Jones had an unex-
ceptionable position in the South The
North she had to conquer. 1t was rather
a difficult proposition, as, owing to the
excellent matches made here by South
erners-t the Wilson's having taken in all
the best that the matrimonial market

ty Southern women with sweet, cooling
voices and the manner of another age
that OF minutes, powder and patches and
chivalry.
"The conquest of Newport by Mrs
Jones, however. was so sudden that the
Ncwporters themselves hardly realized
it, The shore of that historic bay is
strewn with the skeletons and debris CT
wrecks Of social ambitions. But Mrs
Jones arrived and conquered in a season.
People had hardly finished asking who
she was than they We're demanding. and
even begging, from friends who knew her
invitations to her entertainments
"The winter before last Mrs. Penn
broke Jones came to New York. She
had a box at the opera. On the open
ing night she began modestly with Mrs.
Oclrichs as guest. Today she is abso-
lutely one of the leaders. Her box has
been the centre of attraction at the
Horse Show. There you found Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish Mrs. Duncan Elliott,
Mrs Orme Wilson, Mrs William e. Car

the stars in the social armament Mrs.
Pembroke Jones possess the secret Ct
being a perfect hostess. Her success
comes naturally to her, and she is tho
same az she always was.
The Wilmington Dispatch adds that
Mrs Jones is as much appreciated at
home as she is in New York society. And
tho visits of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones to VII
mington never come too often and they
are always looked forward to with I'M
bounded pleasure by all who know them
