CONCERNING FEMININE TITLES
Some of Them Have Not Sprung
From Titled Families.


Some of our best known and most
popular duchesses have not themselves
sprung from titled families. The
Duchess of Bedford IS an instance of
this, and her Grace of Sutherland an
other. The latter lady is daughter of
Major Robert Poore, and sister of the
famous cricketer of the same name.
The latter married Lady Flora Hamil-
ton, the dukes sister, and in 1901 the
duke fell in love with and married
Miss Nina Poore. The duchess is a
beauty-very fair, tall, with blue eyes
and golden hair. She is much more
fond of country than of town life, and
especially of her husbands beautiful
place in Scotland Hamilton palace.

tray Bonaparte wrote letter to an

quirements for admission to the Naval
Academy, and outlining some expert
ments which he is conducting in throw
ing dynamite preparatory to becoming
a useful officer of the Navy.
At present the young inventor says he

rife of IA caliber range 800 yards.
With large siege gun, he believes he
could throw 400 pounds of dynamite

Secretary Bonaparte replied TO the
young man that his experiments were
better adapted to taking him to a ceme-
terry than to the Naval Academy, and
suggested that he abandon them and
adopt some other means of preparing for

Service agent, James Sloane. Mr.. Roose-

Secret Service man. 1t took two more
shots to stop the beast, and then Sloane
fired two more shots TO make sure the
bullets took effect. The dog was a large

PAINTING MAY BE cONFIscATED.
Appraisers Increase Original Value of a
Gainsboro.

New York, (Special) The United
States custom authorities here took ac-
ton which may result in the confscation
OF the Gainsboro painting, valued at
$4,000. The picture, The Countess Of
Bristol which depicts the head OF the
famous English beauty was shipped re-
Gently from London by Thomas Agnew
x Sons. English art dealers, The I'M
porter is resident of Chicago whose
identity has not been divulged
The painting was invoiced as having
value of SI5,47o Appraiser Fowler had
the importation examined, and upon GER
tain information which came into his
possession advanced the value to $4,000.
After he had made his return Collector
Stranahan learned from London that the
painting was worth at least $3o,ooo.
He then requested reappraisement
before the board OF United States Gen
eral Appraisers The case came before
Judge Somerville Scott & Fowles, art
dealers here, the consgnees of the pic
ture, were twice notified to appear be-
fore general appraiser to defend the suit,
but for some reason did not do so and
were not represented by counsel.
Acting on the additional information
obtained, Judge Somervlle rendered a
decision, advancing the value of the por-
trait to S3oOoo or 100 per cent. more
than the original invoice. As the gov
ernment's duty is so per cent, the United
States will take possession of the paint
ing and hold it for sale unless a full
board OF the three general appraisers re-
duces the increase made by Judge Som
erville.

JAP WILL STAY AT ANNAPOLIS.
President Roosevelt Likes His Style, and Mid.

Washington, D. c. (SpeciaD - Al
though many protests have come to the
Navy Department against the continual
ton of the services Of the Japanese
wrestler at the Naval Academy at An
napolis, the President has decided that
the Jap will stay and give his instruc-
tions in Japanese wrestling.
The Jap has never been popular at
the academy, and certain officers are
out-spoken in CHASING the Japanese style
OF wrestling as unfair, and as altogether
too unmanly from an American point Of
view. 1t is said that the midshipmen
themselves do not take kindly to the
sport, but President Roosevelt is an
ardent supporter of the japanese style,
and at one time was pupil of the
professor now at Annapolis.

Inspector Shippy examined more than
a dozen OF the banks employees. The
bookkceper was positive that Stensland's

date on which young Stensland says he
first suspected irregularities on the part
OF his father. Other employees told the
inspector of midnight trips to the bank
BY President Stensland and Cashier
Herring.
The real reason for the prccipitate
flight OF Stensland Is that he knew that
he had had his day, and that the end
was in sight. For years he had hood
winked Examiner Jones and carried on
his tremendous robberies OF the 22ooo
poor depositors directly under the nose
of that official But now he was to be
brought face to face with a surveillance
that he could not deceive--watch upon
his own and other banks instituted by
the Chitago Clearing House Associa-
ton.
Aroused by the scandals in Chicago
state banks, which the state system Of
espionage has failed 10 prevent, the clear
ing house organized a short time ago a
system OF examination OF al the banks
enjoying its privileges The system IS
now being extended TO banks outside OF

the Milwaukee Avenue Bank were en-
tertaned by the clearing house bankers
for several months. Stensland had rea-
son to know that he was under the
scrutiny OF the big banks and saw the
move being made to reach him.
In this regard the banker referred to

"The expectation by Stensland that
this system of examination would soon
be extended to outside banks is thought
