No Remedy.

H. Campbell Black of 2516 18th street re-
Gently complained to the Commissioners of
defective drainage on the lot between his
property and the Victoria apartment house.
He said the conditions tended to keep his
walls damp and asked that a remedy be
suggested. Health officer Woodward states
that the health department is without au-
thority to either undertake the work of
grading on the lot or to authorize the
writer to enter upon the lot for the pur-
pose of protecting his wall. The depart
ment, moreover, has no effective process
against non-residents responsible for the
continuance of nuisances In the District

Nobility at Newport.

Newport would not be Newport I'M
less new foreign princeling Of some
sort joined the giddy throng each sum-
mer. This year will be no exception,
and the latest nobleman to knock at
the gates of the innermost set is Count
Conrad Won Hochberg. He is expected
every day, and his trunks are filled to
overlooking with letters of introduce
ton from no less a person than Mrs.
Corvallis West. Count Conrad is the
youngest son of an old German family,
and was reared in a fine old castle in
Silesia. He is now touring this hem
isphere, and it is likely that he is not
averse to an American wife. In Ber
lin his family stands high, and his an
cestors always have been identified
with Prussian craftsmanship. The IA
Their of the young count is called the
Prince of Pless, and the counts elder
brother married Miss sCorWallis-W est,
"the most beautiful woman in Europe"
Princess Henry Of Pless and her sister
in-1aw, Mrs. Corvallis West, have
equipped Count Conrad with valuable
letters to American families. Count
Conrad is a blond youth, fond of out
door sports, and especially devoted to
hunting. He is essentially manly, and
when in England early this spring was
one of the most popular young men in
society.

WHY SERVANTS REBEL
ANOTHER VIEW OF A MUCH
MooTED QUESTION
Stringent Rules in Apartment Houses
Have Much to Do With Girls Quit
TING The Elevator and the Iceman
Cause Trouble.

People talk about the servant ques-
ticn, look for solutions of it at the
theater between acts, at dances, at re-
ceptions, when they are making social
calls and at all other perfectly out-of-
place times and places. Every now
and then some one declares that he or
she has solved the question and that
if people only follow their advice serv-
ants will not only be more plentiful
but models of perfection. Then too,
every now and then one hears some
thing that leads to the conclusion that
the solution is as far away as ever.
Nearly all of the difficulty is blamed
upon the poor, hard working girl, and
what is not blamed on her is laid at the
door of her mistress. Now heretofore
the landlord has been left entirely out
of the question and he should not be.
There are several of these men in ST.
Paul who own fashionable fiat build
ings, where there is a rule that no
servant must ride in the elevator. One
or two of these buildings are four or
five stories high and when the servant
has her afternoon off" or goes out in
the evening or on an errand she must

is not so much the landlord as the
renters that are to blame for this ride
ulous rule, for no man would make
such stipulation without being first
advised by woman And then these
very women who live in these flats
complain about the unreasonabIeness
of their girls in leaving because they
have to walk up and down when there
is an elevator.
These same people wonder why the
1ceman is cross and will not leave them
what they consider a proper amount
of ice, why the grocery boy is unoblig-
ing and the milkman irregular in his
service. And all these people must
walk up. If there was another eleva-
tor, the matter would be different, but

Nine. Calves Letter.

Nine. Calve, during one of her Amer
lean tours. had the following expert
ence: She went to "a postoffice to call
for registered letter. and as she had
neglected to provide herself with the
two addressed envelopes required to
prove her identity the clerk refused to
hand her the parcel. Calye was more
than little annoyed, But the clerk
was obdurate. He had nothing what
ever to show that she was the great
Emma Calve. At last the lady had to
appeal to the postmaster himself. and
he prudently backed up his subordi-
mates decision. for he, too, had no
proof that the lady was Nine. Calve.

ten to this. 1t is the best proof can
give you" So saying she lifted up her
glorious voice in the famous aria from
Carmen" This original but most con-
vincing proof Of identity was regarded
by the postmaster as satisfactory. and
Calve bore off her property in triumph.
