SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen Of Holland Has Agreed to Rec
osnize Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources OF rev.
enue OF the pope before the separa.
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles OF nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec.
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec.
orations of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon.
or to be called count, 1t was necessary
to obtain a confirmation of title This
gave much perplexity to the candi
dates.
The question has just been settled
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions
The result has been an amusing pill

The revelations regarding fraudu-

made by the Agricultural Experiment
Station of Fargo, N. D.. and published

much of sensation as the exposure
of adulteration in food products did
when the latter first began to appear
1t has been shown that kegs marked
Pure White Lead often contain other
substances such as chalk, barytes,
silica. etc, and that oil supposed to

adulterants, to say nothing of water

called white Leads" contain not an
iota of genuine White Lead.
The farmer is large user of paint.
No one is more interested than he is,
that the label should enable him to
get what he supposes he is paying for.
There should be a law in every state
requiring that all paint packages be
labeled exactly according to their con-
tents. That would enable every paint

KILL FOWLS IN CHURCH.
Peculiar Case of Dissertation Bsffiea
Police Force.


Narberth, Pa-Entering the Fair
view Union church to hold Sunday
school. Superintendent Charles Fryer
was Mortified to discover that vandals
had broken into the edifice and used
1t for a slaughter-house for about three
dozen chickens, the blood and feathers
of which were strewn in wild disorder
over the church. There was other evil
dence of vandalism. The oil lamps
with which the building is lighted had
been pried from the wall and were
left on the floor, while hymn-books
and papers were scattered about in
confusion.
An investigation developed that the
schoolhouse next door had also been
broken into. a clock had been stolen
from the wall. and the robbers had
nearly burned the building. having
thrown a lighted match into teach
ers desk, where a number of papers
and books were burned.
The Lower Merton police discovered
that the cellar door of the church had
been broken from it's hinges while sew
eral attempts had been made to jimmy
the shutters. A cold chisel with
which the shutters had been opened,
was found. Though they spent the en-
tire day in efforts to discover the
farmer from whom the fowls had been
stolen, the police were unsuccessful
for none of the residents of the Fair
view district had been robbed.

Fire Record for Last Year.

The fact that when a servant be-
comes master a cruel foe is suddenly
developed is attested by the dreadful
havoc and loss OF life occasioned by
fire in the United States within the
IL months covered by a summing up
of these losses for 1906. This record
shows that nearly 1000 lives were
lost and more than $500. 100000 worth
of property was destroyed by fire dur
ing that period. In no other country
in the world is the fire loss, in bulk
or pro rata, anywhere near our own.
Last year, owing to the devastating
fire that followed the earthquake in
San Francisco, this loss was in great
excess of the average; but the average
for some years past has been 5000:
100000 year.

firm place in the affections of music lovers as MT Bispham. After singing in opera abroad for several years he joined the wonderful group of stars at the opera ohuse in 1896 and from that time on his fame has been universal. His interpretations of particularly difficult characters have been generally acknowledged as the work of master and though he has gained his greatest fame in German Opera, his experience includes a rep ertoire of French and Italian works. While in Europe lately MT Bispham's concert work was more successful than ever and the London press was frankly enthusiastic over him. Among the things said about him was that "his voice has the same be- witching quality of tone that one has come to associate with his name and his sincere art is to be welcomed with public thanksgiving" The concert will mark the opening of the local musical season. It will be under the direction of Isaac Beecher Clarke.

MANSFIELD'S DEATH.
Christian Scientists Take Exception
 to His Nurses Statement,

To the Editor of the Democrat:
 In your issue of the fifth instant there appeared report of an inter- view with Miss Kocher, the nurse who was in attendance upon Richard Mansfield during his last illness, which report unfortunately set forth many misleading statements.
 This regrettable incident eff in deed Miss Kocher was tempted for any cause or justification to give out any statement whatsoever in refer ence to her easel is widely deprecated by Christian Scientists, inasmuch as it is not only most unprofessional but wholly out of harmony with the spirit and practice of Christian Science.
 The fact is, as has been authenti- cally learned. that MT Mansfield be- lieved implicitly in the power and love of God as indicated by his last words, God is Love-" However, MT Mansfield had but a slight knowledge of Christian Science, so that in his extreme suffering he could not give himself fully to Christian Science treatment. It is learned that he nev- CT revolted in a fit of temper" against the treatment but simply lacked the understanding which would have given him the courage to depend entirely upon God for healing.
 It is unfortunate that this misre- presentation and injustice should so closely follow in the wake of the uni versal appreciation and the deepen ing sense of loss to the professional world of MT Mansfield's great genius and to those who understood and knew the companionship of his lov- able and manly character.

THE DANBURY FAIR.
Thirty-Ninth Annual Exhibition 0c.
 tober S-12.

Essentially an agricultural show, the Danbury Fair is first of all an ex- hibit of farm products, animate and inanimate, and the morning of the first day, Tuesday, Oct. 8, is devoted almost exclusively to cattle and horses and it is to the stalls and pens that the rural visitors will hasten.
 In the huge tent the rosiest apples, the biggest and yellowest pumpkins ,the most luscious grapes and the best of everything else in seasonable fruits and vegetables that Connecticut and New York state farms can produce make display that has irresistible charm for the city visitor as we'll as for his rural cousin. Outside, close to the hustle of the midway, one of the best features of the industrial sectior of the fair is shown by the men who exhibit farm machinery ana labor saving devices for the farmer in ac- tual operation. The cattle, the dogs the chickens and many other depart ments of the show are devoted to the interests of the farm and the farmer. lHe bduuuls ldIi ID hiSls IuoI anu ai ways an agricultural show.
 It requires large figures to tell of the exhibits in the more important departments. In the agricultural dis play there are more than 5000 en- tries each year. The chickens al- ways number about 2,OOO, the cattle 800, the horses, racing and exhibi- tion, 450; the dogs 500 and all the others in proportion. The dog show, which is growing in importance every year as a feature of the fair, is ex- pected to attract greater attention this year than ever before. An at- tendance of 100000 is expected at this years fair. as Roy Knabenshue will give daily demonstrations with his mammoth new airship.

Everything points to the success of the fair and If the weather is good, the event is sure to attract large audiences each evening Music for dancing will be furnished by Faulmann's orchestra and this as- sures all those that trip the light fan tastic that this end of the affair has been placed in capable hands. City hall has undergone a thorough re- nOvatiOn since the last event was giv- en there and the changes that will meet the eye on Monday evening will, it is safe to say. be surprising. The stage entertainment for the week will be provided by Le Roy and Appleton, who term their number "The Most Sensational Act in Vaudeville" and by Bacon. the torch swinger and jug gler. In addition there will be other numbers for the stage entertainment each evening. On Monday evening several amateurs will appear. a large number having handed their names to the fair committee. The bringing to this city of the Father Mathew Drum corps of Springfield. reputed to be the best in New England, will be a big feather in the Tabs" bonnet as 1t will prove a strong attraction Numerous bankers which enliven a fair will be on hand to help you amuse yourself while the number of canvassers will be so small that you will hardly notice them. Don't for get to obtain a look at the eombina- ton books which are in the hands of all the members. Monday is the opening night and it will be one of the big evenings of the week.

HIS TERRIBLE SECRET" /"

There is more logic in the plot and more strength in the situations in the melodrama His Terrible Secret" or The Man Monkey" which Charles B. Blaney has written for William H. Turner's starring vehicle this season than the majority of plays of that character. The piece bristles with strong dramatic action, interspersed with plenty of clean, wholesome con- edy and has been the biggest kind of hit ever since first produced. It is presented with full carload of beau tiful scenery and effects and con- pany of players selected with care for their fitness to portray the various characters. It is a play which once seen is never forgotten. It will be seen at Polls Monday afternoon and evening. Popular prices

The entire race is shown. The two boats, Yale and Harvard, finally shoot out into the foreground with Harvard a length ahead. A roar of dissa tisfaction from the banks sends a shiver through the Yale boat. It forges ahead Now it reaches it's adversary. Now it slips up even with her. And now, gently and cautiously, with every nerve in every one of the eight oarsmen at its tensest, it forces its way ahead until 1t shoots across the line winner.
