steadily until he got so high in the
railway business that the car could
discern him.
One of his cleverest moves after he
became minister of finance was the
outwitting of syndicate formed some
time ago to corner petroleum. After
getting hold of an enormous quantity
of the product, the company, sure of It's
monopoly, fixed an impossible price. To
checkmate this SWindle the pursekeep-
er ordered that the crowns tax of 40
per cent on all workings should be paid
in oil, not in money. Thus With 46 out
of every hundred barrels of petroleum
produced rolling into the royal ware
houses, the government soon was able
to sell the product at reasonable rates
and break the corner.
Mindful of his own humble begin
ming, M, -Witte always has been
champion of the working classes and
his suggestions in the labor troubles of
1901 established systems of arbitration
between employer and employee which
have been invaluable in recent disturb
anceS.
Aside from one bit of crookedness,
for which M. Witte apparently was
not to blame, the minister's public life
has been free from scandal After the
failure of a big railway company some
years ago it was charged that Nine.
Witte, aided by prominent Russian
banker and using her husbands po-
sition to obtain financial information,
had speculated so heavily that the
railway was forced into bankruptcy.
Some of the company's directors al
legged that the minister was at the
bottom of the affair, but the car after
investigation, exiled Nine. Witte from
Russia and retained her husband in
confidence.
Sound judgment, coupled with a
clearer and more definite knowledge Of
affairs than his associates, seems to be
the secret of Mr.. Whites record. He
took infinite pains to reach the bottom
of matters coming under his jurisdic-s
tion. At the head of the bureau of
| finance, he fought extravaganza Of
every sort. Instead of spending enor-
nous sums on the army, the navy and
the church, as many of his predeces-
sors did. M. White looked after COM
merce.
Like any other change in a minis
try composed of ambitious and in
sanely jealous politicians, the cars
latest appointment has produced its
share of discomfort. Since M. Witte
has had to do with the nations affairs
many offices have lost their attractive
ness His unexpected examinations
into civil service affairs, often fol-
lowed by wholesale dismissals and his
swoops upon other departments, have
resulted in a wholesome fear on the
part of subordinates for this thorough
housecleaner. and chicanery has had to
lie low Although NJ. Witte never has
made known his methods of opera
ton, it is understood that he main
tains a system of spies unexcelled In
all Russia, whose supervision Is so
strict that no public official. or en-
employe can lift finger without the
chiefs knowledge.
According to all accounts his pro-
motion is a hard blow to the crafty
Pobjedonostseff, whose narrow, Ia
natical views have been imposed upon
the car to the greatest detriment Of
Russia, and whose aims and ambi-
lions have been almost the exact con-
trary of those of the new premier.

Mr.. and Mrs. Koopman have the dis

have an American man to run it and
have entertained dozens of American
people on board this summer. The
lanuch has a house of its own at Chel-.

the journey from Chelsea to Maiden

Columbia have led several wealthy

to make inquiries with view of pur-

How Bailey Started.

Arthur Williams, of Houston, Tex, tells
the following story of how Senator Bailey,
of that stae, got his political start
Bailey" said Mr.. Williams, was a
ton into which he had moved. Time had
rolled around to nominate a Democratic
candidate for congress. The day of the
convention had been set 1t was conceded
that a certain old man in congress would
be given the nomination
Having much leisure and but little
money, he thought he would walk to the
convention. After he had been on the
road for some time a farmer drove up
behind him. 'Wanter get in an ride? he
said to the young lawyer, and Bailey ae-
cepted gladly.

adapting herself with astonishing ease
to the strange, half barbarous way of
life which obtained in the Bulgarian
capital. Her constant preoccupation in
those days-as indeed it has again been
recently-was to find a suitable bride
for her son. At last, repulsed on every
hand, for neither the man nor his po-
sition inspired confidence, she secured
him a consort in the eldest child of
that Duke of Parma whose family of
eighteen children are the wonder of
continental royal circles.
The gentle, pious Marie Louise, of
dwarfish stature, shrinking modesty
and ardent piety, soon found herself
crushed between the upper and the
neither millStones. The birth of Prince
Boris was followed in two short years
by the disgraceful quarrel concerning
the childs religious faith, and to his
mothers horror he was solemnly re-
baptised according to the Greek rite, in
order to secure his father the friend
ship of Russia. Princess Ferdinand,
by way of protest, left Sofia for while,
but her love for her two little sons
brought her back. Her death, In child
birth, occurred four years ago last
January, and since then her four chill
-dren, two boys and two girls, have been
under the care of their redoubtable
grandmother. 1t is difficult to say how

Ferdinand the man is curiously Jew
ish-looking, and many of his acquaint-
ances regard him as very like in per-
sonal appearance, if not in character,
his cousin, the Duke of Orleans. He
has fine, artistic tastes. and should he
join, as seems not unlikely, the many
kings in exile who wander about the
continent, he will probably make his
home in Italy.

removed from the title, and second
American woman might possibly some
day be Baroness Leigh.
Somewhat similar to this situation in
the Leigh family is one which may pre-
vail in Sir William Vernon Harcourt's
If that vigorous old gentleman, on re-
tirement from politics, does what he
has often been invited to do, and enters
the peerage. Lady Harcourt is an
American. She was Mrs. Ives when
Sir William married her, and her
father was John Lathrop Motley, the
historian. Lady Harcourt would be
followed as peeress in the family by
another American, her daughter-in-
law, Mrs. Lewis Vernon Harcourt, for
merly Miss Mary Ethel Burns, of New
York, daughter of the late Walter
Burns, one of Pierpont Morgan's part
ners.
And, of course, among the other
notable possibilities" of rises in the
world are Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain and
Miss Gladys Deacon. People who claim
to know say that while Mr.. Chamber
lain will not ever take a title for him
self, he desires one for wife, and
that, if she survives him, she will be
given the rank of peerless in her own
right. AS for Miss Gladys Deacon,
should she and the great Duke of Nor
folk, premier peer in England, actually
make a match of it-as rumor insist
emily says they will-Miss Deacon will
step up ahead of the Duchess of De-
vonshire and the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough, the Duke of Norfolk having the
highest hereditary rank Of any man in
the land outside of royalty, and, Incl
dentally, being one of the richest of the
peers. Miss Deacon has been of late
the guest of the duke and his sister,
Lady Mary Howard, at Arundel castle,
in Sussex, one of the greatest country
seats in England. The duke is a Ro-
man Catholic. His only child by his
former marriage died recently.

the gentle little Duchess Of Marlbor-
ough is envious in friendly way. But
the glories of India are fleeing, and
when Lord Curzon returns home from
his extended term as viceroy, his wife
would ordinarily have to step back to
the lowest rank of peereSSeS, for her
brilliant husband is at present only a
common or garden baron. AS the poet
sings, however,
Il am George Nathaniel Curzon,
A most superior person.
and in consequence there is practically
no doubt whatever that he will be re-
Warded for his work in India by rise
In the peerage, becoming a viscount at
the very least. Besides this, when
Lord Curzon's father dies. the much
older title of baron of Scarsdale will
descend to Lady Curzpn's husband.
When Lady Curzon comes back to
live In England she will find something
pleasantly familiar about her hus-
bands ancestral home, for Kedleston
hall, Lord Scarsdale's country seat, is
built IN Grecian style with many
Corinthfan columns. So, also, is Gov
eminent house, Calcutta. Lord Curzon
had the privilege of selecting designs
for that building, and, with sang froid
characteristic of him, chose his own
old home in England for the pattern

man of the flock at Kedelston, and has
his own house for the vicarage, his

an ardent devotee in the Church of
England. In company with her little
girls, Mary Irene and Cyanthia Blanche,
she attends divine service in India with
clock-work regularity.
New Marchioness of Dufferin.
Lady Dufferin, who was Miss Flora
Davis, Of New York. has scarcely
emerged from the Dufferin family
mourning yet. Her social career is all
rare, the career is likely to be a bril-

bia who have married heirs to great
names. I find that there will be some
thing like a dozen of them, who in
the ordinary course of nature will have
taken a big step ahead by the time
another coronation in Westminster
Abbey lines up the whole gorgeous as
6ortment of peeresses before the public
eye.
One of the most notable of these is
the lovely Lady Deerhurst, of Dynes
hall, Halstead, Essex, who is destined
to become the Countess of Coventry.
Lady Deerhurst was Miss Virginia
Daniels, although prior to her mar
rage she was more frequently known
as Miss Bonynge, the name she took
as step-daughter of Charles B.
Bonynge, the mining millionaire, for
merly of California and New York, and
now Of Princes Gate, London. Prin-
cess Christian, the kings sister, is
devoted to Lady Deerhurst, and stood
sponsor for her little girl, while the
king himself is Godfather to the Deer
hurst boy, aged two.
In spite Of the money in the Deer
hurst marriage, there was and is much
love as well. Lady Deerhurst being
one of the most amiable as well as
beautiful of women is really adored
by her husband. The future earl is
cheerful. placid, prosperous. He is
brother to the dashing Capt. Coventry,
who is one of much courted society
beaux. Lady Deerhurst is said to love
the name of 'Deerhurst," subsidiary
title in the Coventry family, and is in
no hurry to change it for Coventry
But when she does, her dignity as a
countess will place her well to the
front as a grande dame among Amer
lean women in English society.
She'll Be Baroness Leigh.

an amusing exhibition of interest in
the stage when only three years old
The mother had taken her to see 1.-THE

comments until she reached home in

mother on the subject of her inten-

she planned going-on the stage herself
Immediately, and in the capacity of a
crab. Mrs. LIE Caffeine, as gently as
she could, conveyed to her daughter
the information that the plan was not
feasible. Whereupon the little girl tore
away from her parent and placed fran

The poor child's wrath has since been
appeased, but both she and her older
sister have many inclinations towards
acting. Their parents, however, have
no intention of letting them become
actresses. Mrs. LIE Gallienne is Danish
