PARIS, Sept. 9.-As long as the trial
OF the Countess van Horn, now pro-
ceeding in Paris, requires the presence
Of that lady, a very curious and we'll
known type will be missing from the
boulevards.
Nom dun chien!" said French
man one day, as the countess came
within his range Of vision, whatever
does that call itself?" Indeed, the odd
and freakish exterior was a truthful
Interpretation of the woman. Once
seen, she is not easily forgotten. About
thirty-two years old, the countess Is
TALL of a willowy build, with short,
straight brown hair and full gray
eyes, peering out of a small, inscrut-
able face, through the pince nez
which is never absent from her nose.
She always wears plain tailor-made
costume and wide brimmed sailor
hat, and her pockets are always
crammed full of papers. She is gen
orally accompanied by q Chinese dog,
of black, hairless breed, and there is
q strang resemblance between the AMI
mails little grim face and that OF It's
mistress, who loves it tenderly. She
speaks English, French, German and
Spanish equally fluently and equally
badly, and her speech is freely inter-
larded with out-of-the-way "swear
words" translated apparently from
some other tongue from that in which
she happens at the moment to be
speaking. Her low pitched, deep voice,
never rising or falling, has won for her
the sobriauet of the "fog horn," for
she has a large circle of acquaintances
and clients. has the Countess van Horn.
Second Trial for SwIndling
For the second time in the course Of
year the countess is on trial for
swindling, and the strange and COM
plicated issues which are being I'M
norted into the case would surprise
those who are unacquainted with the
enterprising lady. But yesterday 1t ap-
reared that she was intrusted by the
Russian government to reconstitute Its
fleet; To-Day Sne Has IL lHiS9iOiA W ONS

will be some new tale. On her jour
neys to and fro between the law courts
and the prison Of st. Lazare the
countess makes flying visits, always
under police escort, to her apartments
to embrace her dogs.
But the thirty-two years of the coun-
tess's life have been full Of incident.
OF Russian birth, she was early mar
ried to a Russian officer of noble FAM
lily, whom she soon left, however, "ba-
cause I found he wanted to eat my
money, the canaille!" For time she
acted as private governess in a Rus-
sian family, but that colorless, If re

audacious temperament, and she fed
from it to Vienna, London and Paris

CHICAGO THREATENED
WITH ANOTHER STRIKE
Unless Agreement Is Reached With
Railroads, Freight Handlers
Will Quit Work
By Associated Press.


BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1O.-Unless some
sort of compromise is reached within
the next two days between the freight
handlers of Chicago and vicinity and
the railroads entering Chicago, there
will in all probability be a general
strike of the men. Ever since last
June, when the working contracts of
the freight handlers with the railroads
expired, the men have been trying to
get the roads to sign a new agree
ment, but have been unsuccessful. To-
day mass meeting of the union was
held for the purpose of considering
means of bringing the general man
ayers of the railroads to terms. By a
unanimous vote OF the members of the
union it was decided to allow the en-
ployers but 48 hours longer in which
to come to some sort of agreement.
Tomorrow all the railroads interested
will be notified by the union that unless
they agree to arbitrate the difficulty,
agree to meet with representatives Of
the union or concede part of the de-
mands of the men, a referendum vote
to call general strike will be taken.
Ever since the expiration of last years
contract In June, the railroad managers
have refused to enter into negotiations
with the union regarding a new wage
schedule and todays mass meeting
was called to force the issue.

a paltry three thousand cubic feet ca
pacity, the ten feet by three feet frame
work which hung suspended beneath
and the air oars standing upright
against a post.
Near to the Man Angel stood the
Bullet, an overgrown affair, with a gas
bag seventy-five feet long and eighteen
feet In diameter, beneath which hung
the framework Of piano wire, baby
engine and a network of cordage.
When the audience began to show
inpatience the engine moter would be
repaired sufficiently to give out few
disconsolate Kisses only to settle back
again into sullen silence.
The strains of II Miserere, as played
by the band at the Chutes, were waited
across the baseball field to the grand
stand. A wag said 1t would be misery
for Trombly If his machine did not go
within a. few minutes. A barker with
curly hair and a megaphone attach
ment told of pretty girls and catchy
music at the home of burlesque soon
to be opened. Trombly at this gave up
in disgust and assisted by the crowd,
the Bullet was borne to the southwest
part of the field.
Man Angels Flight
Ten minutes after the Bullet had
launched itself into space Frisble
seated himself beneath the gas bag of
the Man Angel, placed the oars in the
oar locks and announced that he was
ready to start.
The buoyance of the gas bag was
scarcely sufficient to raise him more
than three feet from the ground. With
q downward sweep of his oars he gave
the Man Angel an upward direction
and within a minute was following the
path taken by the Bullet, but at a
much lower altitude. A block from
the park he was several hundred feet
in the air.
The machine did all that has been
claimed for it by Reynolds. Before the
ascent he explained that the Man Angel
worked on the same principle as row
boat, the motive power being the
strength in the arms of the aeronaut
who is able to ascend or descend by the
turn of his wind oars.
Frisbie attained an altitude Of about
800 feet. When he had reached point
over Ninth and San Pedro streets he
turned the machine about and started
to double on his course. He says, how
ever, that at that altitude the wind
was blowing at rate Of twenty miles
an hour and he found he could make
no headway against it.
When he found that the wind was
carrying him along with it in spite Of
his efforts he took the same direction.
He was in the air for nearly an hour.
Three times he came to within twenty
feet of the earth, but finding no suit
able place to alight continued his pas
sage until he reached a little gully
where he accomplished landing with
out debating the gas bag.
The machine will be sent to Yuma
today and following an exhibition there
will be shown at Phoenix, San Antonio
and other cities Of the south.

ing last evening for the purpose of

made to appoint committee to con-
fer with like committee from the
unions as to the settlement of the
present difficulties, 1t was lost, only
four men voting for It,
From the tenor of expressions of
those who were present and would
talk of the meeting, it seems to be
the avowed intention of a mapority of
the contractors in all the building
trades to fight out the differences If
it takes all summer.
There are not many non-union men
in the city that the contractors can
secure, but they state that their rep
resentative will soon return from
Portland with a supply of men to
meet all emergencies.

Weiser Woman Mistaken and Was
Badly Beaten Up.

Weiser, Aug. Airs. Pleas Jones,
of this city, struck Mrs. William Mich
OILS, also a resident Of the city, in the
face last evening with a beer bottle,
cutting her upper lip and chin quite
seriously. The affray occurred on one
of the principal business streets of
the city. Mrs. Nichols was knocked
to the sidewalk and it was necessary
to carry her to the office of the near
est physician. 1t was a case of mis-
taken identity.
About six weeks ago Mrs. Jones'
husband ran away with a widow from
this city whose husband had been
dead but a few weeks. The woman
returned here this morning and Mrs.
Jones was watching for her.
Mrs. Nichols and the widow resem-
BILE each other considerably both as to
height and form, and dress somewhat
similar.
Mrs. Jones was left with two little
children to support by her heartless
husband.
