AMERICANS IN EUROPE.


Mr.. and Mrs. w. z. Stone of Cam
bridge, Mass, spent few weeks at
Wiltchers Hotel, Brussels, whittier
they went from Paris expressly to
visit Councillor Ehrlich of Chicago, Mrs
Ehrlich and their son Carl, who is
studying at Cambridge. Mrs Stone,
who has been some little time in Eu-
rope for the education of her younger
daughters. Margot and Amy, is looking
very we'll, and the two young girls,
who have just turned their hair up
have won all hearts with their frank
American manners and charming dane
ing
Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred H Munro of
Providence have been staying in Lon
don and have now gone to Oxford,
where Professor Munro, who is profess
sor Of European History at Brown Uni
versity, Providence, is spending some
time in study. Professor Munro is
mapping out his homeward journey to
America by way Of Egypt, India, Bur-
NAH, Ceylon. China, the Philippines,
Japan and the Hawaiian Islands.
Jack Gage Stark of Kansas City is
in Paris living in the Latin quarter
in the midst of American and French
artists. Mr.. Stark is now engaged in
making a series of drawings Of the old
castles of France, treating them in an
excellent and decorative manner. He
has also marked literary ambitions,
and for the purpose of collecting ma
terial for a group of Cow Puncher"
stories which he is now about to write
he worked as cowboy last summer
both in Old and New Mexico, at the
same time making color sketches which
are to be reproduced in connection with
the book of stories. When on the At
lantic last September Stark renewed
his acquaintance with Mr.. and Mrs
Booth Harrington, who were crossing
to England by the same steamer.
Gustav Won SchlegeIl of Minneapolis
who is working hard at his studio in
the Latin quarter of Paris, has been
producing such good work that the
master artists of France are predict
ing for him a brilliant future. Some of
these paintings are to be exhibited in
the spring. Mr. Schlegell is still study-
ing under Delecluse. Before going to
Paris he studied art in Munich, having
started out from the United States with
his friend, Cushman r. Parker of Wor-
cester, Mass. who has lately been call
ed to New York to decorate several
large hotels.
Mrs. Robert Welles and Miss Evelyn

DUKES FAMOUS OLD CASTLE.

The famous old pile, which was built
late in the eleventh century, still bears
the name OF Arundel, the family who
made II their seat for nearly $50 years.
In 1850 II came into the Howard fam
ilv. OF which the present Duke Of Nor
foIk-the fifteenth Of his line-is the
head. and although some additions have
been made, much OF the ancient part
still stands The great Norman keep,
rising 70 a sheer height Of $50 feet,
probably could not now Withstand the
teresting points IN centuries past, es-
70 be united have touched at many in
sieges Il did IN the twelfth and six
teenth centuries, but the old walls are
good for many years yet. In l19l a
Gothic edifice was built around the
medieval tower, and this contains
most Of the living rooms in use to-day.
You can get everything from pictur-
esoue ruin to luxurious comfort within
the walls OF Arundel. the Duke having
recently restored, with a careful hand,
some portions Of the castle TO make it
more habitable for the poor, crippled
boy who was the heir to all the Nor
folk wealth and glory, and whose in
frnities kept him practically a prison
er IN this splendid palace until death
came 70 his release last year.
Everything that a fathers love could
devise. or that the wealth OF one Of
the richest mobiles in England could
buy. was done to save the boy. When
he was a child his mother, the first
Duchess. even took him to Lourdes TO
see II the sacred shrine would not per-
form the miracle that medicine had
failed in The story goes that as they
were approaching the place a party Of
peasants celebrating the cure Of one Of
their number passed the Duchess on
their way back from the shrine chant
ing: He hath filled the hungry with
good things and the rich he hath sent
away empty" The Duchess turned
sadly TO her companions and said:
THAT is our answer, for we are the
rich. There VIII be no miracle for US"
The boy was the only child Of the
Duke. and unless the new Duchess pro-
vides an heir the title and vast es-
tates viii pass 10 Lord Edmund Tai
bot. a younger brother OF the present
Duke.
We shall probably see a marked
change in the solemn. stuffy dignity
Of ST. James square. Of which the most
notable feature is Norfolk House, the
great town residence Of the Duke. The
mansion has been practically closed
ever since the death Of the first
Duchess, sixteen years ago, and has
come TO look somewhat gloomy and
dingy. But now il is to take on new
life and color, and is expected TO be-
come one Of the most brilliant social
centers in London. It's proprietor stage
managed the coronation, the most bril-
liant social function Of our time, just
as his ancestors for some hundreds Of
years before him had arranged for all
previous coronations-a hereditary
oright with the Norfolks. With such
experience and such social rank the
Duke can be depended upon to make
up for his long retirement from soci-
ETY. with some entertainments that are
likely 10 be. memorable. Norfolk House
is almost as historic as Arundel Castle

A. Is impossible TO set down on paper

stars and stripes refused him, the no
BE Duke being no longer young, and
neVsr having been what you could
honestly call good looking, and being
known, furthermore, as the most care
Iessly dressed man IN the whole peer
age.
At any rate, the announcement OF
The marriage OF the Premier Duke OF
england early in February TO his young
cousin. the Honorable Gwendolen Con-
stable Maxwell, set at rest much un-
easiness on the part OF British society
especially those Of the Ro-
man Catholic faith. Miss Maxwell was
born in exactly the year-1S77-in which
the Duke was married TO his first wife,
who died ten years afterward- Her
mother was the Dukes first cousin, and
her father, Lord Herries, came Of q
Scottish line almost as old as that of
the Duke himself. and connected with
him by several ties Of marriage.

TOM. WATSONS VIEWS.
Roosevelt Nut Elected on His Merits
Protest Against Cleveland.

In New York November 18th Thomas
E. Watson gave ont lengthy state
ment, reviewing the recent campaign
and outlining his plans for the future
The statement follows in part:
Mr.. Roosevelt's overwhelming ma
jority wos not so much due to the fact
our people believe in class legislation
and the reign of special privileges. It
was by no means an arrangement with
corporation tyranny, the greed of the
trusts or the methods of combined cap
capital. Mr.. Roosevelt's majority over
Mr.. Parker was due mainly to two
things. One WAS the immense personal
unpopularity of Mr.. Cleveland's second
administration. Unfortunately for Mr..
Parker, he became so completely iden-
titled with the Inaurauders who plum
dered the government during Cleve-
lands second administration that he had
to bear all the odium which they had
carried. The people have never had a
chance to show just what they thought
of that second administration. Mr..
Bryan's two campaigns did not give
them the opportunity. 1t was only
when the old Cleveland commission Sc
cured the defeat of Bryan and Hearst
and dictated the nomination of Mr..
Parker that the masses got the oppor-
tunity to vent upon national candidate
the intense hatred which they had been
nursing for years against such men as
Oiney and Belmont and Carlisle and
Cleveland himself. They knew that I
could not be elected, and they were so
eager to make the best.of the opportu-
nifty to safeguard the country against a
repetition of that saturnalia' of class
legislation which marked Cleveland's

VALUE OF ORGANIZATION.

No community is in a condition to adj
vance and compel its claim to recogni-
ton along any given lines, industrial,
commercial or political, unless it pos
sesses some form of definite organiza-
ton. 1t is not enough that the scat
tered integral parts of community
think and believe alike as to what is or
will be the best course to follow to Sc
cure to themselves the best possible
results from the development of the
natural resources surrounding them, or
to bring the fact that those resources
exist, forcibly enough to the attention
of outside capital to induce it to invest
where local capital is not strong enough
or may be lacking altogether. An I'M
organized community singing its own
praises has much the same effect on
critical ears a. has the singing of the
doxology by an unorganized cougrega-
ton their Intentions are all right, but
it sounds like the devil. Both are liable
to find themselves much farther from
their object at the end than at the be-
ginning.
All of which philosophy is evoked by
the moribund condition of the Elk City
Board of Trade just at time when it
should be awake and doing. There is a
wagon road TO be constructed up the
South Fork, and while we may not be
able to take leading part in the enter
prise, an efficient organization could
find a way to help some. True, we are
all singing the praises of this enterprise
but our voices don't "gibe" worth a
cent. Our camp is being persistently
knocked" and misrepresented by a
gang of ''grafters" whose headquarters
is in Spokane, and while we are doing
our best to refute the cowardly ISLANDERS
our refutations are simply those of the
Individual against an organized gang,
and will of necessity amount to nothing
unless we keep up the efficiency of our
organization and talk through it, other
wise it would be better to keep quiet
and silent on all subjects, and let our
sleep remain undisturbed and unbroken
by any spasmodic yodeling.

best way to assure the final success of

a party of Jeffersonian democracy on
solid foundations where unity OF, senti-

we wish to accomplish can be reason

himself is manager of this store.
Two years ago Mr.. sJolliffe purchas-

Holds $50 Belief That People Will In

Their Votes.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Senators
and members of Congress who have
been to Oyster Bay in conference with
President Roosevelt, and who have
returned to Washington, say that the
Executive is not worrying over the.
November election, holding to the
firm belief that the people will be
found in line indorsing his admins
tration and casting their votes for its
continuance. The Presidents conf
dence as to his election in November,
is based upon information reaching
him through the party leaders in all
the States. He has had a number of
conferences with most prominent Re
publicans in the last few weeks, and
all of them think the election. is as
sured to the Republicans without
question.
Senator J. 3. Foraker, who is about
to start on a trip extending across
this country into the Hawaiian
Islands, is in the city completing ar
rangements to go. The Senator, ac-
companied by his family and secre-
