 Countess Kwilecki is defended by sev- en leading Polish lawyers. Very great interest is manifested in the case here as the accused are well known in the higher aristocratic circles. She was born in March, 1S46. married the Count in 1884 and bore him three children, the last in 1879. Then, the Count and Countess claim the latter gave birth to the son who Is the cause of the present proceedings.
 This son is said to have been born January 27, 1897. The prosecution claims that the latter is the son of a peasant girl Pareze. in Austrian Silesia, who is present as a witness and a claimant for the child.

She stood erect, holding lorgnette in her right. hand and gesticulating ex- citedly with her left hand while an- swering questions put to her by the pre- siding judge. The Countess pleaded not guilty and sweepingly denied all com plicity in any criminal act. But the Countess was finally cornered by the
 judge She was unable to give satisfac- tory explanations of many suspicious cir cumstances and some damaging accounts
 were brought out The trial Is expected
 to last a long time
 Count Misjislaw Kwilecxi, a member of the Prussian house of Lords and his son. Count Hecklor Kweckli. a member of the Reichstag, contested. as next of kin, the legitimacy of the Countess son about
 two years previous to her arrest. but af- ter a sensational trial at Posen she was acquitted and the Countess and the Count. her husband. continued to live
 quietly on the Polish estate, spending the winters in fashionable Berlin society. The prosecuting attorney, however, continued his investigations, and 1t is said. obtained fresh testimony and the re-arrest of the Countess followed. It is alleged that the Countess had women of high rank as ac- complices. These, whose names have
 not been disclosed, are said to have pro-
 cured an illegitimate child for her.

LEDGER vs. AeE-HERALD.
H. scudder Ryall Has His Famous
 Home Run Bat Oiled.

The Ledger and Age-Herald baseball teams will meet in deadly combat at West End this afternoon, and when the fur begins to fly the result is horrible to contemplate.
 Captains McRae and Evans announced at II o'clock last night that both clubs were in the best of fettle, and an official bulletin issued at 1 o'clock a. m. con- frmed this announcement. The manage ment has absolutely refused to announce the personnel of the two teams, and some- thing great is expected.
 H. Scudder Ryall, the home-run artist, worked for two hours last night oiling his bat and getting in trim for his ex- hibition this afternoon, and the school children of Birmingham are on the qui vive of expectancy. It Is his present plan to place the hit within ten feet of the right foul line, as it will not require so much exertion. Of course If the children insist, he will drive the ball square into the slag pile.
 The game will be called promptly at AIS, and bulletins will be announced at all public places every fifteen minutes.

didn't work. Instead, the landlord made an indignant remonstrance which, as 1t was half Dutch and half German, didn't enlighten me much. Finally things quiet ed down a bit and I went back to bed. But the next morning when we came down to breakfast, everybody cast indig. nant glances at me and equally sympa thetic ones at my wife. It wasn't hard to find out what the trouble was. They thought my wfe's screams had been due to some Brutality of mine, and evidently looked upon me as a burly wife beater. My wife tried to explain matters, but that didn't help much. Her explanations, in the best German she could muster, were received with smiles of polite in- credulity-of course, wife would stand by her husband even if he is a brute

Chicago, June II. = Judge Hines, the winner of the Kentucky Derby and flaw thorne handicap, is now one of the second choices for the American Derby. After his race in the Derby Special at Harlem today hls price was cut to to l. making him an equal choice with Claude ana Bernays It is the belief of horsemen that Judge Hines could have beaten Saw able today had the race been slightly longer one, and his performance on fast track was surprising. Savable re- mains favorite at ? to 1 despite his mar row victory in the Derby trial. The fact that he was ridden out in a mile-and -an- eighth race makes him a weaker candl- date and leaves the race a more puzzling proposition. The tendency will be to en- large the field, and the number of horses that go to the post may exceed fifteen

 The probable Derby field has undergone some changes. Dick Welle may not start in the race, and Skilfull a stable com panion of Judge Hines, Is also out of 1t. There Is doubt as to whether Au Revoir will be started.
 John F. Schorr has announced that he will send Gold Bells in the Derby. Bad News and Banter are regarded as certain starters.

DREAM SPOILED TRIP.

A dream of my wife's spoiled my last foreign trip, put an end to some ances- tral and antiquarian researches which l had started, and gave me the reputation of being a cruel and vicious husband among lot of people with whom l was anxious to stand we'll" observed MT. Van Duser sadly. And the havoc wrought by the dream wasn't in the least due to the fact that any of the parties concern ed were superstitious. It was just case of hard luck and mutual misunderstand- Ing.
 Both my wifes people and my own originally came from Holland, and Tor years we have been intending to look the subject up. So the last time we crossed, having little time on our hands. we de- rided to take a run over to Holland A few days later found us In one of those old fashioned, spotless Dutch hotels. We couldn't understand much of what the people about the hotel said, and they couldn't hold any lengthy conversations with us. But they were cordial and pleasant, and we looked forward to hay Ing a good time even if we didn't accom- plish much in the line of ancestral re- search.
 .Of course the surroundings were little strange, and l suppose that was the eause of the trouble. For about midnight [ was awakened by scream from my wife. Then another and a third. It was only a case of nightmare, but bad one, and it took some little time 10 get her thoroughly awake.
