The new primary law contemplates
the regulation OF party organizations,
the legal recognition of parties as
such, legal election Of committeeman
and party managers and supervision
of the campaign work to q greater ex-
tent than ever known before.
Two striking innovations are intro.
duced, namely, requirement that :hc
county committee shall consist Of az
many members as there are voting pre-.
cincts in the county, and the selection
of stats campaign committee by the
state convention.
The definition Of a political party
contained in the new law Is that it
Shall mean a party which. at the last
preceding general elention, cast for It's
candidate for governor at least 2 per
centum Of the total vote cast at said
election" The manner or selecting
party managers for such q party is by
direct v1te Of the electors, provision
being made for blank spaces on tho
ballot for the writing In OF names of
candidates for precinct committeeman.
No provision is made for having these
names printed. They may be placed
On the ballots 5y pastors The Judge

ber of vGtes for committeeman, and
they certify this to the county auditor
to notify the men who are electtd
committeeman. The names OF these
committeeman must be reported to the
county convention by the chairman OF
the party committee on calling the
convention to order. AS to these com.
mitteemen the law says:

Lady Oxford Only One
Who Belongs to EX-
elusive English Set.

LONDON. July 27.-The almost COM
plete absence of Americans was very
generally remarked upon at the garden
party given by the Prince and Princess
Of Wales at Marlborough House.
Neither the prince nor the princess is
as fond of Americans as the King. and
their particular set" is a very exclu-
sive one. which does not include wealthy
English and German financiers or their
wives.
The one bright exception at the gar
den party was the Countess Of OrfOrd
(nee Louise Corbin, of New York;. 10
whom the princess has become genuine
" attached of late.
II was about two years ago, when
Lady oxford was suffering from a
nervous breakdown, that the princess,
herself a very shy woman, was told by
one OF her intimate friends that Lady
oxford was the only shy American in
London" The princess laughingly de-
clared that she did not believe such a
person existed I'm the American colony.
but she became acquainted with the
countess, and has ever since been her
friend.
Both women. strangely enough, have
improved Immensely in the matter Of
shyness in public. and the princess has
now all the possessed graciousHess

Young Man Whom Doctors Pronounce
to Be Entirely Sane

BERLIN. July 27.-The murder OF
Baron Otto Won Buxhoevden by his son
Edward throws a strange light on the
philosophy OF Russian society.
Baron BuxhOevden was a Baltic prov
ince millionaire. who had lived for
years IN the fashionable KiTOtchnaya
street In St. Petersburg He was an
elderly man Of irreproachable charac-
ter. and had all his life been engaged
in philanthropic enterprises He was
patron and director Of nearly all the ST.
Petersburg Houses OF Labor" and was
a great favorite OF the Tgsritsa, who
more than once sent him 10 Western
Europe 10 investigate such Institutions
The skeleton In the BuXhOevden cup
board was the baron's second son, Ed
ward. who suffered from nerves" and
had been treated for nervous diseases
in a Riga sanitarium. Edward Bux-
hOevden. like his father, was a philan-
thropist and when in possession OF his
faculties was favorite with every one.
But ne carried his political and social
convictions so far that he had more
than once threatened 20 kin people who
differed from him on minor questions.

PARIS. July 27.-The remarkable at
tentions paid by Emperor William II to
the French persons who went to Kiel to
take part in the international regattas
Of that port have. both in France and
Germany, aroused somewhat heated
polemics. The Germans, who are all
more or less Pan-Germanic, refused 10
believe in any rapprOchement between
the two rival countries
There can bs no question" they said,
''of giving political Importance to the
Emperor's politeness toward the French
guests at Kiel." Such is teXtually the
language of the leading German news
papers. William IFS attitude only
served to show them still more clearly
how deep is the gulf which separates
the two nations.
The French, on the other hand. hav-
ing their vanity nattered. showed such
gratitude toward the Emperor for his
attentions that we who were watching
what took place at Kiel from a distance.
almost believed our fellow-countrymen
and women had become the friends, II
