Hurt In a Runaway.

Howard Williams from southwest of
Ebert came pretty close to having dis
astrous runaway late Tuesday afternoon.
His big bay team hitched to a top buggy
hecame frightened at the train which
had just arrived and started to ryn from
in front of the postoffice. Mr.. Williams,
who was about to get into the buggy,
made grab for the reins and caught
one of them. Anton Knmp, employed
by Mr. Williams, clung to the bride of
the .off7 horse and was dragged some
distance by the frightened horses until.
striking hitching post, he was knocked
down. Mr.. Williams held on to the one
line and succeeded in turning the team
into convenient fence where the horses
got tangled in the wire, effectively stop
ping them without any damage to the
horses. The buggy tongue and single
tree we're broken when the team was
turned into the fence.
Anton Kump was painfully bruised
about the face and hips by coming in
contact with the post, but sustained no
serious injury it is thought.

Mems Beauty Show.

The beauty show for men at the Victoria pier, Folkestone, continues to be the chief subject of conversation in the town and it's vicinity, says the London Mail There are many aspir- ants and many inquiries, but with the execution of courageous few the would-be exhibits hesitate to face a great audience even for five minutes. Councillor Forsyth, who is responsi- ble for the show, has decided that only facial beauty can be considered in the matter of awarding prizes. In view of this, he has arranged for a huge gilt frame draped with black velvet to be erected. In an opening in this frame only the head and face will be allowed to appear Councillor Forsyth, in answer to inquiries by the Daily Mail, wishes it to be widely known that, with the full approval of his colleagues, he has decided to make she competition open to all England. The judging will be by the audiences, and the scrutiny of votes by women. Several local beauties" in order to gain chest measurement, are training with dumbbells Others are giving over flesh for a fruit diet, and many are taking a course of Turkish and other baths in order to get into form. The greatest obstacle to many is the lack of moral courage to face an audi .euce
The Carlisle independent., 1907-10-24

the title does not mean more than an honor conferred on all men of his class, just as all the sons of the Sze- chenyi family are chamberlains in the imperial court of Austria Hungary by birth, and the senior member holds seat in the upper branch of the Hun- garian parliament.
 So far as lineage goes, probably none of the titled foreigners who have married American women can boast of longer line of ancestors than count Szechenyi Besides his family tree, that of the duke of Marlborough, who married Miss Consuelo Wander bilt, is the veriest sapling. Count de Castellane, former husband of Miss Anna Gould, might compare with the Szechenyis in pride of birth, for his family is one of the oldest in France and their castle of -Castellane has been in the family for many centuries.
 The Szechenyi name, however, goes back fully 1000 years. The story of the young man who is to marry Miss Vanderbilt began not later than 955. He comes of the Magyars-wild ad- venturers decendants of the ancient Scythians, who invaded Europe from Central Asia in the ninth century and overran Hungary and Pennsylvania
 The men of the Szechenyi family have borne the title of count for more than 300 years. Among the most cele- brated of them was Count Nicholas Szechenyi, companion in arms of the famous Hungarian general, Zrinyi, who in the sixteenth century stood like a battlement between the en- croachments of the Turks on the south and east and the kingdoms of western Europe.
 Few episodes of mediaeval history are more romantic than the story of Zrinyi's defense of Sziget, fortress on the Danube, withstanding for a month, and with 2,5OO men, the on- slaughts of the Sultan Solyman and 65,O00 Turks. Zrinyi's fate has been made the theme of one of Theodore Koerner's most famous tragedies.
 Another of the Szechenyis, holding the rank of archbishop, was the me- diator in bringing about the peace be- tween Emperor Ferdinand and Roko. czy, by which the latter was recog- nized as legitimate prince of Transyl- vania.
 Like their ancestors the wealth of the family lies in the ownership of land. The young counts father owned thousands of acres divided into scores of farms and forest nreSaryeS Az did their forefathers, the Szechenyis drew from these domains tribute of wheat, Turkish pepper, tobacco, hemp and grapes, and next to France, Hun. gary is the greatest wine-producing country in the world. According to Hungarian standards the Szechenyis are very rich and powerful.
 When Miss Vanderbilt goes as a bride to Austro-Hungary she may we'll believe herself in that Ruritania which Anthony Hope has made the scene of so many adventures. Her new do- mains, now broken by the Carpathian mountains and the Alps, now reaching out toward the rivers in great grain fields or vineyards, will be land of quaint customs, of traditional romance and of old world aristocracy in pres- ent-day surroundings. The great houses of Vienna and the imperial court will be open to her, and Vienna is one of the gayest of European cities. Budapest will offer her [. social pres. tige little less alluring.
The Carlisle independent., 1907-10-24

The director of the Trans Caucasian railway. Col. Neigebauer, has issued the following curious order: Tn the course of six months of the current year 30 officials of the Trans-Cauca- sian line have perished by violent deaths. Ten among them were of the highest ranks in the service and 20 in the lower ranks. Although it has now become customary to ascribe these appalling murders to revolu- tionary organization, there are grounds for suspecting majority have been caused by a desire to see situations vacant. In order that such villainous proceedings may bring no profit to their authors, I have found it neces- ;sary to order that all vacancies on the line which have resulted from officials having suffered violent death shall not be filled by candidates from among local officials. but by persons trans ferred from the railways in European Russia. I give this notice as a guide to future action"
