Mrs. chattsn Entertsins.

Mrs. K. A. Chatter entertain
ed a number of her friends Sat-
urday night in her usual hand
some style. About forty guests
were present and a fierce contest
was waged between the ladies
and gentlemen as to which side
held the supremacy in the Sc
ductive game of finch. After a
long struggle lasting over two
hours during which time ten
games were played it was found
that the ladies were slightly in
the lead, the score being for the
ladies 103 and for the gentlemen
SO. Some excuse should be made
for the inferior playing of the
gentlemen however, as the ma
jority of them were playing
against their wives and were con-
sequently more or less nervous.
After the games were finished
refreshments consisting of brick
cream, angel food and sailed al
monds were served. The colors
were red and green and were eff
fectively carried out m every
particular. The house was dec
GRATED in an artistic manner and
lighted with red aud green can
dies in like colored holders, the
tally cards and souvenir hearts
were also of the same color. 1t
was in fact one Of the social sue
cesses of the season and was so
voted by the entire party.

DRODIE |. DUKE,

TON LAWSON AND CASSIE CHAD
WICK NOT IN IT.

The latest news sensation, and
one that is dividing interest with
the Chadwick case and Lawson's
"frenzied finance" exposures, is
the Duke affair. A Hopkins
vile boy, William g. Bramham,
son of Prof. and Mrs. William
q. Bramham, is conspicuous
the matter in an entirely cred
liable way by reason of his eff
forts to save his friend and en-
ployer from a lunatic asylum.
Brodie L Duke, the North
Carolina millionaire, and a half
brother of James l.. Duke, the
noted president of the American
Tobacco Company, was sent a
few days ago to an asylum for
the insane in Brooklyn by his
children, following his marriage
to Mrs. Alice Webb, promoter,
with what seems to be rather
shady financial career.
On writ Of habeas corpus OBJ
tanned by his secretary, Mr..
Bramham, of Durham, N. c.,
the millionaire was brought in to
the supreme court at Brooklyn.
Counsel for Mr.. Bramham argued
for an immediate examination
of Mr.. Duke in court to determ-
ine whether or not he was in
sane. This was objected to by
Delaney Nicoll, who he said
represented members of Mr..
Dukes family and who insisted
that Mr.. Dukes sanity should be
determined by a commission to
be appointed by the court.

SHUT
FOR ROCKEFELLER
Mail Facilities Of a Village Cut OFF
by Payne to oblige Oil
King. .s,,
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, April 2o.There has
just been discovered in a pigeon hole in
the postofice department., petition
signed by the residents Of the little
town Of Brandon, y. Y, protesting
postoffice, and praying for its re-estab-
1ishment. This discovery has brought
to light the fact that the government of
the United States, at the request Of one
man, who apparently was actuated by q
spirit of vindictiveness, summarily took
away the postal facilities Of a commun-
ity;
The man who made the request was
William Rockefeller, and it was the late
Postmaster General Henry, p. Payne,
who obliged him, and thereby inflicted
hardship upon the people Of Brandon.
The fact that the postoffiee has since
been restored may not avert the trouble
which is brewing, and to choke off
which, strenuous efforts are now being
made.
TO Wipe Town Off Map.
Mr.. Rockefeller started in to secure
Brandon. But Brandon did not want
to be wiped off the map. Gradually,
however, Mr.. Rockefeller began to
make inrcads. First one man and then
another yielded to the weight of the
Standard Oil man. At the same time
Mr.. Rockefeller had been buying all
around Brandon, until it was impossible
to get out Of the village without driv-
ing over a Rockefeller road or thru
Rockefeller property.
The corporals guard remaining to
Brandon, were in a particularly obsti-
nate mood early last summer, just about
the time that the Rockefeller agents
were most active. Tremendous offers
were made to them to get out. Not a
man could be tempted.
One morning last June there was no
mail delivery in Brandon. The place
had fourth class postofice, but it sud.
denly closed. No mail came for days
Finally some Of the people drove to the
railroad to find out what was the mat.
ter. They were informed that the post.
office at Brandon had been ordered
closed from Washington.

Bay Pond Is a couple Of houses in the
heart Of the Rockefeller tract. It has
not a postofice, and there is not a
regulation in the government, emitting
it to it.. There IS not anything any
where around it, but Rockefeller land
If Mr.. Rockefeller so chose, not a per
son living in Brandon could even. drive
to Bay Pond.

Washington, April 2O.-uohn Bar
rett, American minister to Panama, will
soon be recalled. The probability is
that his connection with the diplomatic
corps will cease when he is brought
back to this country.
An accusation Of duplicity, whereby
he deceived both his own and the Pan
anna government, is the cause Of his
trouble. The facts about his double
dealing were revealed today by the
publication Of Barrett s correspondence
with the state department.
This shows that Barrett is largely
responsible for the strained relations
with the new republic last summer, to
relieve which 1t was necessary to send
Secretary Taft to Panama.
Judge Magoon, the new governor of
the canal zone, will reach the isthmus
about May 10, and take over the dip
lomatic duties of Minister Barrett.
