EARL COT s25o,oOO IT'S SAID.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Pittsburg. Nov. 20.--That Alice Thaw,
out Of her private fortune. paid the
money demanded OF her people by the
Earl OF Yarmouth before her wedding
a little over a year ago is believed by
all friends OF the Thaw family who
have kept close tab on the great estate
left by the elder Thaw.
The filing OF the statement by the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company yes
terday, giving to the Countess OF Yar-
mouth something over SS00,0O0, was
something OF a disappointment TO the
monoyed ones, Notwithstanding the
knowledge that Alice Thaw had drawn
100000 from the family bank when
she attained her majority. This would
make her portion 100000 without her
portion OF the coke trust"
Close figuring by some who know
bring the answer that Alice Thaw gave
10 the Elarl about $4,000 before the
wedding, and this was charged up
against her BY her trustees.

The belief obtains in Washington
that, following the Inauguration of
President Roosevelt next March, there
will come a pretty considerable stir
up and housekeeping. Heretofore
President Roosevelt has carried along
a large number of Mckinley ap-
pointees. Now. it is said. he feels that
he is at liberty to fill the offices with
Roosevelt men. and that at home and
abroad he win make many changes.
AS a consequence many of the hold
overs are on the anxious bench and
numbers of the Original" Roosevelt
men, are getting their applications and
references in shape. 3r

The Twenty-first congressional district
in Illinois is a bit puzzled to know who
will represent it in the next House at
Washington. The Constitution of the
United States provides that no man is
eligible to membership in the House
of Representatives until he has reach
ed the age Of 25 years: nevertheless
the Twenty-first Illinois district has
elected to Congress Zenos ]. Riyes.
aged %. 1t appears that the Republic
cans had no idea of carrying the dis
trict, and merely nominated young
Rives as a matter of convenience to
fill out the ticket. The youth never
once imagined that he could possibly
be elected, and neglected even TO make
solitary stump speech. But when
the votes were counted it was ,iiscov-
cred that Rives had 500 majority Of
the votes. He had gone IN on the
tidal wave OF Republican success. The
case viii come before the Elections
Committee of the House. II the ma
Jority of the committee were Demo-
cratic it is pretty certain that the con-
stitutional limitation would be adhered
to. but as the committee will be Re-
publican 1t is probable that some way
will be found TO set the constitution
aside and seat the boy member from
the Twenty-first Illinois.

1t appears that there is no truth in
the report that son of Booker T.
Washington is applying for appoint
ment as paymaster in the army: nor
does he want any place in the govern
ment service: nor has Prof. Wash
ington Endorsed any person for APP
pointment as a paymaster in the army.
How the story of young Washington's
application got out does not appear;
yet it was printed in some of the
Washington papers and obtained wide
currency. Inasmuch as the Morning
News commented on the original story,
It feels it is due to Prof. Washington to
make this statement. The Washington
Post. It seems. was misled, and its
misinformation found its way into a
number of other papers.

The report of the Harvard athletic
association shows that during the past
year the receipts from athletic games
amounted to $112,262. The football
games melted more than 1900. These
figures are worthy of note and study.
They show that the receipts
from the athletic sports Of one
of the important Northern col
leges amount to more than the total
income of some of the Southern col
leges of Importance. Another point is
this, that while the newspapers de-
vote columns and columns of space
to the college football games, they pay
relatively little attention to the in
tellectual side of college life. Why is
this? Is it because the people are
not interested in the mental develop
ment of the young men in college, but
delight to be informed with respect to
their physical prowess?

Another Pittsburg heiress is alleged
to have bought a count at a high fig
ure. The heiress. aged about 40, is
said to have paid lump sum of $780,
900 and guaranteed an annuity of $15.-
900 a year for the glorious privilege. of
becoming the wife Of the count, who
is some ten years younger. The
count holds his title from Italy, and
is said to have held out as long as he
could do so for a cash bonus of $780,
900 and an annuity of $4,000. The
woman, long used to bargain counters.
finally succeeded in beating down the
price to a figure that she thought rea-
sonable. A year or two hence, in all
probability, there will be furnished to
the newspapers a lively scandal in
connection with this commercial mar
riage. The time may yet come when
the United States government will
have to create titles of nobility, to
satisfy its fool women of wealth.

The churches, the Episcopal Church
especially, are making brave fight
against the divorce evil. How great
that evil is, is apparent only to those
who study the records of the courts or
follow the printed figures showing the
number of divorces.
1t is said that in a period in which
there were only SO divorces granted in
Canada over 100000 were granted in
this country. OF course the number of
inhabitants of this country is very
much greater than that of Canada, but
even so. there seems to be a hundred
times more divorces in this country
than in Canada in proportion to the in
habitants.
1t is stated that there are more di-
vorces granted in this country than in
the whole of Europe, Australia and the
British dominions. The evil is so great
that 1t ought to arrest the attention of
Congress and bring about a uniform
divorce law. just how the country
would regard congressional action il is
impossible to say but it is certain that
the evil will not be greatly checked un-
til there is such law, and the number
of causes for which a divorce can be
had is very much less than it is at
present in some of the states.
A statement was published in the
New York World of Sunday that no d.
vorced person can be married in any
one of the nine churches of Trinity
parish of that city. The rector Of Trim
ity, the Rev. DIR. Dix, is quoted as say
ing that the divorce evil is breaking up
the homes of the country at a fearful
rate. He expressed the opinion that 80
per cent. of those who apply for
a divorce have already picked out the
persons to whom they expect to be
married in the event their applications
are successful. And 1t seems that the
evil is growing greater all the time.
There is one remedy that ought to be
tried, and that is for society to refuse
to accord recognition to divorced per-
sons. If that were done the number of
divorces would decrease at once, but
society seems to have too many d.
vorces Of it's own to take such a rad
ical step. Whatever is done to eradi-
cate the evil must be done by the
churches and the lawmaking power.

strident voice is enough to spoil any wo-

impossible to render voice absolutely per-

The American woman is renowned in
Europe for her nasal twang. And not only
this but there Is another fault to be over

lasting hurry that the modern woman
seems to be doomed to endure, or from
some cause unknown to science, the aver

what she wishes to express, until it Is

Smoked Glasses for Hay. Fever.

From Medical Talks.
In Worcester. Mass, there is a doctor by
the name of Stowell. This doctor has long
been subject to hay fever In studying his
own case he noticed that hay fever came
and went in very capricious manner, and
he reached the conclusion that it was most
ly nervous disease. Somehow or other he
reasoned himself into the belief that the
suns rays produced hay fever by acting in
some way upon the eyes. So he Thought
to try smoked glasses for the eyes, to see
Ii that would not prevent his hay fever.
He reports that the smoked glasses gave
instant relief. But If he went out in the
sun without the glasses he was sure to have
hay fever again. So now he wears smoked
glasses and is happy He has no more hay
fever He says he has tried the glasses on
two or three other patients. and claims that
the same relief Is obtained
We like to report such cases, because It
Is seldom that doctors ever admit that anv
one Is cured by anything except the action
of drugs. So harmless a remedy as smoked
glasses should be welcome, If 1t be found to
contain any virtue.

tendency toward the Japanese custom OF

luncheon she demands of the florist the

that there is plenty of lemon. parsley

she teaches the new cook how to gar
nish with potato borders pressed through

ments that can be bought at the cater

guests arrive to make sure that all il
