INDEPENDENT ORDER
OF FoREsTERs

Atlantic City, N. j., July 31.-This is
Foresters' week in Atlantic City, the
occasion being the triannual meeting
of the Supreme Court OF the Independ-
ent Order of Foresters, one of the
strongest OF fraternal benefit organiza-
tions. The sessions were opened In
the assembly hall OF the Hotel Rudolf
today with DR.. Oronhyatekha, of To-
ronto, presiding. The roll call by Sec
retary John A. McGillivray showed an
attendance of delegates from Ireland,
England, Wales, Scotland, Norway,
Sweden and the various states of Aus
tralia as well as from all parts of the
United States and Canada. The ses-
sions will continue for one week and
will be devoted to business relating to
the affairs Of the order, a review Of
its progress during the last three
years and an outline of its plans for
the future.

BOHEMIAN GIRL"
POPULAR PRODUCTION
CASINO PACKED LAST NIGHT TO
WITNESS PRETTY OPERA
OLVETTE NEXT ATTRACTION.

The first nights production of "The
bohemian Girl" at the Casino Sunday
evening. drew one of the largest aud
iences of the summer season. The
theater was one mass of humanity,
while in the palm gardens there was
not one seat left after o'clock, the
house being practically sold out at
that hour.
Mr.. Wade presented the difficult op-
era remarkably well, when the fact
that he has very small cast for such
a production, is taken into considera-
tion. The audience was particularly
lavish in its applause and the men,
bers OF the cast showed their appre-
citation by putting their hearts into
the play.
The middle of the week the bill will
be changed. "Olivette" will be the next
attraction instead of "Pinafore" as
previously announced. This change
was made necessary by the fact that
Mr. Wade is now making some addi-
tional and expensive outlays, in order
that the productions OF "Pinafore" will
be up to the standard with his other
meritorious productions,

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF

The California Limited on the Santa

the east at 10:30 o'clock this morning
narrowly escaped a disastrous wreck
at Las Vegas this morning.
AS the train was pulling into the
yards at Las Vegas. the engine sud-
denly jumped the track and turned
completely over. Fortunately the en-
gineer was slowing down for the sta
tion, thus an awful wreck was avert
ed. The engineer and fireman had
miraculous escapes from instant death
and both escaped with slight injuries.
No one on the train was injured.
The wreck caused delay of several
hours.

TERM OF SERVICE.

Fred Fornoff, who has been among
the best of Uncle Sans secret service
men. and who for the past year has
been working as chief of the western
division with headquarters at Denver,
has resigned.
Fornoff will at once resume his for
mer position, that of a deputy United
States marshal under United States
Marshall G. NJ. Foraker, of New Mex
leo. FOrnoffs headquarters will be in
this city and TO say that he will be a
valuable addition to the United States
marshal's force is not at all neces-
sary, as Fornoff enjoys the reputation
OF being one of the shrewdest officers
in the west today.
It will be good news to his many

he will again make this city his home,
where he formerly resided, being chief
OF police only few years ago.

REPUTATION OF
GRAND DUKES
In Empire Of Russia About
as Low as Pos
Sible
BUT BORIS IS THE WORST OF ALL

Paris, July S1.-Throughout the
czar's domain, grand duke" and
''profligate" have long been synono
nous terms. To tell a Russian that
he is mo better than a grand duke,
is the greatest possible reproach
against his moral character.
Perhaps the most notorious and
profligate of all the Russian grand
dukes is the Grand Duke Boris, who
shocked Newport society by the occa-
sion of his visit there a couple of
years ago, and later was recalled from
the army in Manchuria on account of
his notorious escapades. The evil
reputation of Grand Duke Boris has
not been lessened by the terribly
tragic death of Mile Anastasia Mazour-
off, the youngest daughter of a well
known lawyer, and acknowledged to
be the most beautiful girl in Kazan.
Despite the rigorous measures taken
by the Russian authorities to prevent
the matter becoming public, the par
ticulars of the sad affair have just ap-
peared in several of the Paris news
papers.
For some months past, so the story
goes, Mile. Mazouroff caused her
friends great anxiety by her peculiar
hts of melancholy and nervous de-
preston. For weeks at a time she
remained in the house, steadfastly re-
fusing the dozens of invitations she
received to dances and parties. A
week ago, however, her parents pre-
vailed upon her to accompany them
TO garden party given by the gov
ernor of the city. Here she displayed
unwonted animation, and throughout
the afternoon was the center of a
large crowd of admirers.
Returning home, Mile. Mazouroff re-
tired at once to her bed room, but on
the morning following, her maid was
unable to obtain a reply when she
knocked at the door of her mistress.
In a state of frenzy, NJ. Mazouroff
broke into his daughters room. There
he found the young girl, clad in
blue peignoir, lying back in her chair
before looking glass. There was a
bullet hole in her temple and a toy
revolver lay by her side. Stuck in the
looking glass was an autograph pOr-
trait of the Grand Duke Boris, and be-
side It lay a letter in the dead girls
handwriting, addressed to the Grand
Duke Vladimirs profigate son.
What the letter contained has not
transpired, but grand ducal influence
has been brought to bear on NJ. MAJ
ourOff, who, with his family, has left
kaZan.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
SELF SUSTAINING
Fines For Month Of July Far
in Excess Of Operating
Expenses.
GREATEST FOR FISCAL YEAR

The Albuquerque police department
is more than self-sustaining, which is
something unusual for city of this
size. The fines collected for the month
of July, which closed today, amount
ed to $500, the largest collection made
during any one month of the fiscal
year.
It is saying something to say that
the police department is more than
self-sustaining. IL reflects great credit
upon Chief of Police Thomas McMil-
lin, under whose management the po-
lice department is, and likewise re-
fleets credit upon each individual
member Of the police force.
For the month Of July the operat-
ing expenses Of the department, in
cluding the salaries of all the officers,
the feeding of prisoners and all Incl
dental expenses, are in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50 or $575. The total
amount of fines collected is $500.
Therefore, after all expenses are de-
Quoted from the fines, a healthy bal
ance, amounting TO $3.50 or more, re-
mains, which Is very gratifying.
The way the police department of
Albuquerque is managed is the subject
Of much favorable comment, espe-
cially among strangers. Such crimes
as murder are rare indeed, while there
is seldom a disturbance of any conse-
quence, whatever.
Chief McMillin and his subor.
dinates Justly deserve the credit that
is due them.

Judge Page explained that the pres
ident has no appropriation to draw
upon in such an emergency as this,
and that Mr.. Peirce, who came from
Oyster Bay to perfect the arrange
ments, was well suited with the plans.
Mr.. Peirce, will, on behalf of the gov
ernment, give a dinner at the hotel
for the envoys, and it is expected
that President Roosevelt will do like
wise.
The hotel is typical of the modern
summer seashore hostelry. 1t is a
great, roomy place, with picturesque
location. There are many hotels more
beautifully furnished.
Including two plenlpotentiaries from
each nation, the suites and the serv-
ants, 1t is expected that about thirty
persons will make up the party. The
Russians will be quartered on one
side and the Japanese on the other.

JUDGE CALVIN PAGE.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 31.-By
means of some very subtle maneuveT-
ing, spiced with Yankee trade meth
DDS, during the past two weeks, an
arrangement has been made whereby
the world honor of ente. tanning the
peace ENJOYS from Russia and Japan
will be converted into a glaring ad-
vertisement for a summer hotel.
Throughout the world the statement
has been fiamboyantly published that
the American government, anxious to
encourage a settlement of the bloody
conflict of the east, had perfected
magnificent generous arrangements
for the comfort of the visiting pleni-
potentiaries and their respective
of New Hampshire to do the great
honor Her people, according to pop
ular understanding, were to contribute
the hospitality.
AS matter of fact, the people
are owners and managers of the
big summer hotel overlooking the
sea ard situated, about four miles
from this town.
For as long as it stands, our hotel
will be known as the place where the
treaty OF peace between Japan and
Russia was signed" chuckled old
Judge Calvin Page, one of the execut.
ors of the Frank Jones estate.
Only two doubts entered the mind
of Calvin Page, who got his title on
the police bench of this town, wnen
he made the deal which brings the
diplomats of two warning nations to
his hostelry. In his own words, one
was: "What1l we give them to eat?"
Another was: How long will they
stay?"
In order that there may be a clear
understanding of Judge Pages posi-
tion, his remarks to your correspond
ent might as well be inserted here:
when Frank Jones died, leaving
a very big estate, he left a peculiar
will. Parker W. Whittimore, who
was a famous athlete at Harvard
few years ago, and |, were named CO.
