residents of the districts which would

both.
In the Walla Walla country the
agreement has long been observed only
on the surface. Project after project
has been advanced by one company or
the other. only to be counteracted by
prompt action. The most notable
move was the electrical road proposed
by @. r. Ballou, intended to tap the
eastern Oregon fruit country tribu-
tary to the O. r. & n. and take a pOr-
ton of the produce to Walla Walla,
where it would be placed on board

Hardly had the BallOu movement be-
come we'll defined when Henry Nell
man, unheralded but no long unknown,
appeared in the field. He went from
place to place. promising an electric
line from Dayton through Waitsburg
and Walla Walla to Pendleton, and
cash expenditure obtained rights of
way the entire distance. He claimed
to represent eastern capital, but when
he had things corralled to his salts
faction he dropped out of sight. He

was defeated. None acquainted with
railroad conditions and who watched

While Walla Walla people do not
expect either of the one talked of cleo

much valuable territory in that part OF
the Northwest where rail lines would
be profitable and which would profit

railroad. Farmers in such districts
are looking longingly toward the east

also an object of Carnegie's attention.
Appeals to him are unnecessary during
the summer months when he knows
that these destitute youngsters want a
day in the country. The children of
poor parents in the same district are
also provided with excursions into some
Of the picturesque parts of Surrey and
Essex, and substantial portion of the
expense betrayed by Carnegie The or
ganizers Of such treats, however, are
under strict iniunctions to keep Car
negie's name out of the list Of contrib

tious way Carnegie disposes of thou
sands of dollars yearly throughout
poor districts in England and Scotland.
When it is suggested to him that his
name should appear in the list of sub
scribers he explains that he desires
to be identified only with the creation
of public libraries and the promotion
of education generally.

Prince of Wales to Make

LONDON, Oct S-Those who know

Yankee Girl Who Mar

LONDON, Oct s.-The Countess Of
York, has gone with her husband, the
Earl, to fish in Norway, and society is
hoping that she will return cured Of the
illness from which she has suffered re-
Gently The malady Of the Countess
has been the cause of no small social
embarrassment. She has seemed un-
able to get enough sleep-often doing
through the whole day as we'll as the
night On one occasion recently, when
she and the Earl were to give a dinner
party - one Of the smart affairs for
which they have been noted-the guests
were kept waiting until, at $3.50, the
Earl had to confess to their guests that
his wife was still sleeping and that he
did not like to rouse her. But the awk-
wardness did not finish then, as the
Earl went on to ask II they would all
mind waiting at least until S:45. as no
one but his wife knew how many guests
had been invited or at what time they
were expected to come to dinner. None
of the servants had the slightest ink
ling as to the number expected and had
laid for twenty. Sixteen people, how
ever, turned UP, and after a trying de-
lay the guests and host proceeded to the
dining-room, there to enjoy the dinner
party without the presence Of their
hostess.
The Earl and Countess have taken
with them to Norway their little daugh-
ter, the Hon. Dorothy WaIpole. and
the child owes it to her parents to be-
come devoted to the rod, for the latter
are great disciples Of Izaak Walton.
AS a matter of fact, this sport holds
for them a far more romantic interest
than it does for it's general devotees. as

became the Countess of Crford. and
soon after her marriage she and her
husband went of to Florida tarpon

this trip that Lord Oxford got one Of

Van wyck Anglers. Londoners.

LONDON, Oct. S.-Ex-Mayor Van
wyck of New York, who sailed on the
Baltic, rubbed Londoners the wrong
way by an interview he gave out be-
fore his departure, in which he COM
pared London with Berlin to the dis
advantage of the former. London, he
said, had been standing still for a
score of years. 1t had no parks, no
pleasures beyond eating, drinking and
theater going. Many sarcastic COM
ments have been made on the New
Workers. pronouncement, and Van
Wyck is urged to open his eyes when
he next comes to the British metrop-
oils. Judging by the nettled tone of
the newspaper comments, however,
Van Wyck would seem to have

ton. Crooks received the rudiments of
his education IN workhouse school,
but while he is not as eloquent or
rhetorical a speaker as the 'Uncrowned
King of Battersea," as Burns is com
mencing to be called, he is listened to
with respect and patience in the House
of Commons. Carnegie makes a su-
preme effort to be present in the gal
lery of the House whenever it is known
that either Crooks or Burns is going
to speak on any important subject.

Burns $4,000 a year to defray his ex

when he won Woolwich for the Liber-
ais. Both offers were refused because
both men preferred to be free to act
independently.

the future Kings turf operations.
Those who are in a position to know
something of the conditions Of the
Princes banking account do not hesi-
tate to say that he could not at the
moment buy a rabbit hutch, much less
luxurious mansion and racing stables.
1t is not long since it was publicly
stated that the Prince had had to sup
plement his income in order to be able
to maintain Marlborough House, his
official residence. Sir Edward Cassel
is as generous where royalty is con-
cerned as Baron de Hirsch was In his
best days, so there can be no danger of
early disaster to the Princes turf un-
dertakings.
ChrCniclers of King Edwards move
ments during his present visit to Mar

precautions that are being taken to
secure his personal safety. The har-
RAISING of anarchists in London and in
England generally has so exasperated
the comrades" abroad that his Mai
esty's advisers deemed it advisable to
undertake methods of protection which
had not hitherto been adopted during
any of the Kings Continental trips
The resignation Of former Superinten-
dent Melville as the head Of the de-
partment of the police service charged
with the safety Of the sovereign Is rec
ognized as a misfortune by the Kings
advisers because that officers knowI-

but he has not been able to strike so
much terror into the hearts Of the
comrades" as Melville. Hence 1t is
that extra precautions are now neces-
sary. The protecting guard on the
present occasion is doubled and 1t is
noted as somewhat remarkable that
from the chief downward the majority
of the detectives in waiting on his
Majesty are Irishmen. With the as
sistance of a number of men supplied
locally, all roads and railway stations
leading to Marienbad are carefully
patrolled. while Chief Superintendent
Quin keeps his eye on his royal charge
constantly during the day and at night
two detectives well armed stand ont
side his Majesty's bedroom. Until re-
Gently King Edward discouraged these
elaborate precautionary measures and
even now he makes no attempt to con-
ceal the feeling that they are a. MIXED
blessing to him. The late Queen Vic
toria knew that she was one of the
most popular sovereigns in Europe, but
that feeling never prevented her from
making the most elaborate demands
upon Scotland Yard for her personal
safety and protection. All the smartest
men had to be at her beck and call and
1T was not to the advantage of the
chief If any Of his nen were guilty of
the slightest dereliction of duty. AL

British Scientists Say That Loud

LONDON. Oct. s.-A new terror has
been added to the public life OF the
average politician who finds the effort
Of addressing his constituents a tire
some performance. Now It Is learned
on no less an authority than that Of the
medical department OF the local gov
ernment board that he may not only
bore himself and his audience. but that
he may prove the medium Of dissem-

AS the outcome Of varied and re-
peated experiments" says DR.. Mersyn
Gordon Of the local government board.
1T has been we'll substantiated that nor
only in the act Of coughing and sneez-
ing, but also in the act Of loud speak
ing, fine droplets Of mucus are SPRAYED
from the mouth to the air, that they
float in the air and that they may be
waited by air currents such as obtain
in ordinary rooms to a distance that

''Micro-organisms," said a London
medical officer of health in confirmation
of Gordons statement, abound In the
respiratory passages and the mouth.
They remain there so long as they are
undisturbed. but are driven out in the
midst Of the spray which is emitted in
the act of coughing, sneezing, singing
or loud speaking.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct S.-The

first wife's relatives reached the ceme-
terry to place their floral offerings on
the tomb. They Indignantly tore up
both Of the wreaths that they found
there and sent the fragments to Jo-
kais home.
Jokai paid another visit to the ceme-
terry and placed another wreath on his
wife's grave, but her ;nfuriated rela-
tives again destroyed it. Then Jokai
started legal proceedings against them
and sought to rally public opinion to
his side by denouncing their conduct
in the press. But popular feeling, TAX
little heed of the legal questions in
vOlved in the unseemly quarrel, unmis-
takably proclaimed itself against him.
He was no longer the nations idol.
Of late friends of the family have
been making strenuous efforts to bring
about a reconciliation between Frau
Feszthy and Jokars widow. There were
strong hopes that these would be sue
cessful and that the details of Jokais
family life might not be revealed in law
courts and published to the world.
Such hopes, however, are now almost
entirely dissipated through the ver-
dict Of the jury impaneled to investi-
gate the charges made by Frau Jokai
that the Feszthy family had behaved
badly toward Jokai ana consequently
had been disinherited. The jury found
that these charges were not proved
and they added further that they were
satisfied from the evidence laid before
them that the conduct of Frau Fesz-
thy and her husband toward Jokai
had been uniformly correct and proper.
Jokais widow is said to have taken
this defeat very badly and there is
little chance at present that any peace
full compromise will be reached. The
Budapest courts will probably have to
decide the whole affair finally.
