Speaking Of art museums one is natu-
rally reminded of Worcesters delightful
possession. which at present has but a
small permanent collection, but will soon
have tremendous endowment fund at its
command. and of the unique building at
Springfield. its sister city. which contains
the well-chosen and remarkable George
Walter Vincent Smith collection" The
latter is perhaps less well known than the
former. but both will repay a pilgrimage
and should not be overlooked by returning
tourists. The Worcester Museum will con-
tain, until September %, one of the best
loan collections of current American paint
tngs that has been got together; and the
Springfield gallery places permanently on
exhibition the largest collection of clois-
some enamels in this country.

NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT IT.
Man Has Good Reasons for Looking
at Inside Of His Hat.

r'1 see here that a woman writer
wonders why man always looks in
his hat before he puts it on" said the
reflective man as he looked up from
his paper. Here is what she says:
When man puts on his hat he mos.
always looks inside it first. What he
expects to see remains mystery, but
he looks for 1t all the same That's
easy. He looks in his hat to see II
the knot holding the inside band to-
gether will be at the back Of his head
when he puts it on. Now If she'll tell
me why woman always pulls down
her veil and purses up her mouth be-
fore she steps out Of doors, We'll call
It square.
Funny, the things you read in the
Sunday papers. I see here that an
other Chicago professor got up on his
hind legs to declare that there should
be schools of love, and the young
should be educated in love- Slush!
Schools of love aren't necessary. The
young of the softer sex inherit a suffi-
ciently large stock of knowledge on
this subject from their mothers, and
what they can't teach the young
men it isn't necessary for them to
know"

HOW GIRLS WON A STRIKE.
Arbitration Court Of New Zealand De
cided Against a Factory.


An ex-judge of the arbitration court
in New Zealand tolc me this story,
says the Craftsman: The girls in a
match factory came before the court
asking for an increase of wages. The
proprietor said he could not pay what
they wanted, that his enterprise was
in its infancy and to increase the
wages would ruin it. The court heard
the evidence on both sides, studied
the financial condition Of the business
and cost of living in the city, and then
the judge said to the proprietor: 'It
is impossible for these girls to live de-
Gently and healthfully on the wages
that you are now paying. It is of the

American Expert Lead. World.


Gardner F. Williams, the American
mining engineer who directs the dia-
mond output of the world, was born in
Michigan, but became a resident of
California at Is and a student at Cali
fornia college in Oakland, afterward
the state university. He perfected
his education at the mining Academy
of Freiberg, among the lead mines of
Saxony. He was assayer in the mint
at San Francisco two years and spent
some time in practical work in the
mines of Nevada and northern Cali
fornia. He then went ON an exploring
expedition for the Rothschilds to Ma.
schonaland and made the acquaint-
ance of Cecil Rhodes. He took charge
of the mines of the De Beers company
in 1886, through the influence OF
Rhodes and has been at their head un-
til recently, when he returned to
America, leaving his son, Alpheus VIII

Here is story as told by gentle

A humming bird with an angry dash

SONS, the humming bird in close pur-
suit. Where will you find another pair
that could dodge and dart equal to
these? They were like flashes Of
light, yet the pursuer followed the
track of the pursued, turning when
the bee turned.
In short, the bird and the bee con-
trolled the movements Of their bodies
more quickly and more accurately
than he could control the movements
of his eyes. The chase was all over
in half the time it takes to tell 1t,
but the excitement of pack of hounds
after fox was no greater. The bee
escaped, the bird giving up the chase
and alighting on twig. 1t couldn't
have been chasing the bee for food,

of it's unprovoked attack, except that

PLAINTIFFS SANITY IS IN QUESTION
Extraordinary Life Story Of the Former Husband Of the Princess
lroubetskoi Who Is Legally Sane Virginia, Legally Insane
in New York, and Who Write. Startling Narrative Of
His Struggles for Liberty and an Inheritance

New York.--Can a man be sane in
one state and Insane in another?
So 1t would seem. But John Arm
strong Chanler, cousin of the Astors,
chum of the late Stanford White, COL
lege graduate, student of psychics and
ex-husband of that brilliant, erratic
woman, Amelie Rives, now the Prin-
cess Troubetskoi, is not going to take
such decision as final.
Next month his case comes up in the
federal courts here in New York. Mr..
Chanler, who has fortune of 81, ,O0O, 900,
wants to get control of it. But the
courts of New York say he is insane
and not competent. His legal resi-
dence is in the state of Virginia.
And there the courts have decided
that he is perfectly sane and able to
manage his estate.
There are forty-five states in the
Union. Mr.. Chanler can visit forty
Hour of them without the slightest
danger to his, personal liberty. But
should he set foot in the sovereign
state of New York he will promptly
be clapped into lunatic asylum, be-
cause he is still held to be mentally
incompetent
1t will be a desperate legal battle.
Mr.. Chanler has retained the best of
counsel. So has the custodian of his
$l.OOO,O00. T. T. Sherman, who says
ne Is insane. It is very much like

Complains Of Injustice.
The book recites with bittlzsness
what the writer calls the injustice of
the proceedings leading up to the judg-
ment of the New York courts and to
his incarceration in Bloomingdale.
How Stanford White got him to
Bloomingdale is told in this wise:
Il received a telegram from my
friend, Mr.. Stanford White, proposing
to visit me in company with mutual
friend. As 1 was on rather unfriend-
ly terms with Mr.. White at the time,
owing to an abusive letter he had re-
Gently written me, I did not look for
waal to visit from him with pleas
ure. I therefore sent him telegram
to say that l was not we'll enough to
see him. A few days later Mr.. White
walked in on me in company with a
physician. I shall not attempt to pic
ture my surprise. Let it suffice to say
that i was struck dumb.
"Mr. White hastily excused his in
trusiOn and implored me to accompany
him to New York for plunge in the
metropolitan whirl' AS I had some
business which needed my attention in
New York I consented"
OF New York Mr.. Chanler says:
I'm other words, a citizen of the
state of New York can be condemned
and imprisoned without a hearing. All
that is required to deprive citizen OF
the Empire state of his liberty is one
or two false witnesses, two dishonest
doctors and a Judge who can swallow
sworn conflicting statements without
a qualm. No defense is allowed to the
accused

which is also one Of my trance-l1ke
states, I was informed by my .X-fac-
ulty' that it would like me to go into
a Napoleonic trance. It gave me to
understand that would represent the
death of Napoleon Bonaparte by so
doing, and that my features, when my
eyes were closed, and face, would re-
semble strongly those of the dead Ma
poleon Bonaparte. This was in Feb
ruary, 1897, upon or shortly after my
arrival at the Hotel K, New York
city.
my X-faculty' did not tell me what
to do in order to produce the so-called
Napoleonic trance; it merely informed
me that when the time came it would
instruct me what to do to produce
the said trance.s The distinguished
sculptor, Mr.. S. G., called at the Hotel
K, shortly after my arrival. while I
was in bed and in the evening my x
faculty gave me to understand, with
