To Get Rid Of Their Secretary They
Abolished the Office-President
May Resign.
st. Louis, Mo-, July 4.-The Office OF
secretary of the Board of Lady Manag-
ers of the fair was declared vacant this
afternoon by the board by a vote of 8
to 5. The intended effect is to remove
Miss Lavinia Egan from the office.
Miss Egan says 1t will not have the
effect because she does not recognize
the authority of the board to declare
the Office vacant without preferring
charges against her as incumbent Of
the Office.
The resolution providing for the va
eating of the Office was introduced by
Mrs. Richard w. Knox Of Louisville,
KY, and recommends Miss Carter
for the position. The removal of Miss
Egan is the outcome of feud between
the secretary and president Of the
board, Mrs. Manning. 1t is rumored
that the latter may resign as result
of this trouble. She voted aye on the
removal Of Miss Egan, though not re-
quired to do SO. The opposing forces
line up:
Mrs. Manning's majority-Mrs. Johr
M. Holcome, Mrs. William H. Cole.

 She paused with an exclamation. Her. busy plucking at the heart shaped locket about her neck had severed its slender chain. which now lay limp across her knees. -N
 .'Ahar' she laughed, swinging the trinket before him like a pendulum, "'De Lorge thought the lady's heart would fall into his lap as easily as that. just be- cause he was a great statesman and she was a nobody.

 "It's an ingenious climax, quite a sly hit. The lady refused secret marriage; 1t would have fulfilled her love. but not her vainty. Can a woman love whose vanity is not satisfied? And so she i'm perilled him to satisfy 1t. Object. matri- mony."
 She gazed upon his cynicism with de- mure pity.
 "Ah. you don't understand. you truly don't. It wasn't vanity at all; 1t was that she was so little and he so great. To be all to small man is better than being part to a great man, you konw. She wondered if his greatness could give her littleness all himself. Did he care enough. did he trust her enough to sacri- flee his dignity and pride before the world for what seemed the whim of coquette? ?, We'll, he jumped bravely, though I don't think the poor man understood--not one bit more than you did. But you wouldn't have jumped after a glove; you'd have sent messenger boy out to buy her a. new pair"

 "BraVo!" she applauded. And I'd give wreaths and wreaths to see you do 1t. But ach! nowadays there are no lions;' there are only lot of old whisperers named Society. who point their glasses at you and say unkind things. See there, and there, and there!"
 As they stood side by side at the rail she favored the horseshoe with a sweep of her upturned nose, then turned quickly on him, baffling his intentness with an audacious laugh.
 Would 1t need braver man than De Lorge to face them, do you think? Sup pose"-and she assumed an air of negli- gent grandeur-"suppose I were to take this locket. swinging 1t so as to attract

 'I think" he said at length mo, I'm sure I would refuse"
 She raised her hand tantalizingly. Once, twice, thrice she feigned to throw the locket while they stood face to face, de- | flying each other from behind a mask of light jest: then something flashed in mid air she caught a sharp breath and her hands flew to her cheeks.
 My locket, please!' she said, with shaken bravado.
 He watched it glisten in the aisle below, then turned lazi.y and answered her smile for smile.

He felt but did not snun the eyes. the whispers that centered on him rom above: rather he courted them, threading their gauntlet with upraised face, the re- pressed smile of triumph, as one who has stopped before the multitude for pebble and found 1t diamond.

 As the waiting figure turned he tossed her the locket.
 ''Very cleyerly done," he said, in his -laziest monotone. "I happened to over hear about your bet just now. Indeed, you've trained me to fetch and carry quite"-- Then at the subterfuge of ten derness which he read in her face every spark of his brutality famed uppermost.

Russia and the Wireless Method.

No one is anxious to add to the en-
barrassment of the Russian govern
ment at this time, but it may be con-
f1dently asserted that the rest of the
world will vigorously and promptly
repel any attempt to execute Viceroy
AleXietf's latest pronunciamento.
On April l5, he announced that, in
ease neutrel steamers having on board
correspondents "who might commune
icate war news to. the enemy by
means Of perfected apparatus not be-
ing yet foreseen by existing conven-
tions' should be discovered sin the
zone Of operations of the Russian
feet" the correspondents should be
''looked upon as spies, and the steam
ers furnished with wireless telegraph
seized as prizes of war" The viceroy,
no doubt, had in mind the Anglo
American arrangement by which u
newspaper in London and one in New
York are served with news by the
wireless method. 1t is scarcely com-
ceivable that the Russian govern
ment would attempt to carry out
such threat,-indeed, it has already
been announced that the Imperial
government does not contemplate
any immediate action in the matter.
Newspaper correspondents, no mat
ter what method they may use for
the transmission of news, are not
spies, and, according to the agree
ment subscribed to by Russia
and the rest of the world by the
Hague Peace Conference, these cor
respondents provided they have
proper credentials and behave them
selves) are entitled to be treated las
prisoners of war. If the correspOn-
dent in question were on land, Ad-
miral AleXieff might make him sub
nit to the censor; but even ffhe were
willing the correspondent could not
get to Port Arthur to be censored.
On neutral vessel, outside the limits
of military jurisdiction, and gather
ing news by simply observing events
as they occur, the correspondent is
entirely beyond the reach of the ex-
asperation of the Russian viceroy.
A belligerent cannot extend his juris-
diction Indefinitely by mere procla-
nation; like a blockade, it must be
made effective. The Russian viceroy
is in no position at present to get at
the obnoxious correspondent, much
less to hang him.-From 1.-THE Prog
ress OF the World" in the American
Monthly Review of Reviews for May.
