DEATH REVEALS
DOUBLE LIFE
Accident to Couple Travel
ing in France DiScIOSeS
American Scandal

LONDON, Oct. 16.-The London pa
story of double life," led by an Am
erican, which was revealed only by the
hand of death. The man in the case
crossed to Europe on business, leaving
his wife in America. While travelling
in France he was among the victims
his body in the morgue was placed the
body of another victim, a handsome
woman, whose satchel contained some
of his visiting cards.
The authorities, suspecting nothing
irregular, cabled to the family in Am
erica to inform them of the two
deaths. The widow cabled back mere
ly ordering them to send his body
home for burial. A second cable was
accordingly sent from France to say
him, that one of his cards was found
upon her, and that her bag contained
letters signed with his name. A de-
scription of the lady and the name
written on envelopes in her bag were
also wired across the ocean.
A prompt reply came back. The au-
thorities were instructed to bury the
husband at once, in France, but moth
ing was said about the unfortunate
woman. They were buried in French
graves, side by side. 1t subsequently
developed that the woman had been
lifelong friend of the bereaved fam
lily. No one suspected anything be-
tween the two, but the facts pointed to
a carefully arranged meeting in Eu-
rope The letters from him found
among her belongings afterwards fully
proved that the liaison had been going
on for years. The man, whose name
has been carefully withheld. is said to
have been prominent in the business
and social life of one of the largest
cities in the United States.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 16-That Aso-
tin county's exhibit may be enlarged
and be made still more representative
of the county's resources, Mayor r.
M. Yount and r. B. Hooper yesterday
appeared before the commissioners of
Asotin county and asked that the an
nual appropriation be increased from
$500 to $1,000.
The commissions" are now in ses-
sion and will at this meeting make
the annual tax levy, and it is believed
that the same will be made to include
this needed increase in the appropria-
tion for fair work.
Mayor Yount and Mr.. Hooper are
confident that the commissioners will
do the right thing by the people. and
they have been assused by the officials
that the matter will receive their
careful consideration.
1t is well known that from no other
source of advertising can the county
derive such splendid results as are Sc
cured through the attractive exhibits
that arr annually made at the Lewis
ton Charleston fair and with the small
amount that has been available here
tofore it has not been possible to cover
the field fully.
At the fair just closed Asotin coun-
ty led every section of the country and
excelled in quality and quantity all ex-
hibits. The resources of the country
have been widely advertised, and it's
fame as a fruit country has gone
abroad, and now is the time for it's
citizens to further the good work by
| coming to the aid of the men who have
so unselfishly given their time and
| money for the advancement of the
county and the country in general.

CONSUELO WILL
VISIT AMERICA

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Consuelo, Ouch
ess of Marlborough, sails today for
New York, where she will pay an ex-
tended visit to her mother, Mrs. oliver
H. p Belmont. She will be accom-
panied by her younger son, Lord Ivor
Churchill,
The duchess last visited America in
1906, when she paid a brief visit to her
mother in Newport. While it is UNI
.derstood that she will spend some
months In America, she will probably
continue to make her permanent resi-
dence in London despite her matri-
monial troubles with the duke. BY the
terms of the separation the duchess re-
tains Sunderland house, a magnificent
mansion in the heart of fashionable
London, renovated at enormous ex-
pense by her father.
The duchess also has the exclusive
care. of the two children, the Marquis
of Blanford and Lord Ivor Churchill
The consideration for this privilege, it
is rumored, was an extra $4,000 a
year allotted to the duke by William
K Vanderbilt, father of the duchess.

The cost of growing and harvesting

THRILLING DETECTIVE STORY
Raffles, the GentIemanly Thief, the
Hero of the Drama Tonight.

Rallies, the Gentlemanly THIEF, the
Hero of the Drama Tonight.
In every way "Raffles, the Amateur
Craftsman" in which S. Miller Kent
will appear at the Temple theater to-
night, Is unusually interesting.
The well-born, gentlemanly thief
who steals from his social friends not
for the value of the loot he may ac-
cumulate but because he is the victim
of hereditary faint, makes a curious
dramatic study in himself. Then, as
the playwright has made the main hg-
ure the center of the story, which is
one of exceptional power. the attention
is naturally all the more enchanted.
Again, s. Miller Kent, who plays
Raff1es. has to a marked degree the
ease of manner, the cool air and force
of quiet art that the character particu-
larry calls for.
