ARTISTS MODEL
SUES BARON
Complaint Alleges Story
That VieS With That
of Evelyn Thaw

NEW YORK, July 15.-Marion
Allen, a pretty artists model Of this
city, has begun suit in the city court
for breach of promise of marriage
against Baron Egon Won Nuvelly, for
mer lieutenant in the Austrian navy
and member of one of the wealthiest,
oldest and most aristocratic families in
Vienna. Miss Allen asks $25,O00O
damages.
In her complaint the model tells a
story as heart-rending, almost, as that
related by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. She
says the baron invited her to dinner,
piled her with wine, promised mar
riage to her and drew a most glowing
picture of the life of ease and pleasure
she would enjoy as his wife.
For one week he lavished money on
her. she declared, only at the expira-
ton Of seven short days, to desert her,
leaving her penniless, repudiating his
promise to wed her and refusing to
see her or aid her in any way.
Baron Won Nuvelly came to this
| country two years ago from vienna TO
learn the English language, he said,
and to become familiar with the man
ners and customs of the American
people. He was in receipt Of large
allowance from Austria, and lived here
in luxurious style, settling down in
magnificent bachelor apartments In
No. 176 West S1st street, after tour
of the states.
In reply to Miss Aliens story, the
baron tonight said:
Il never saw the girl but once in
my life. There is absolutely no truth
in her statement, and the whole case
is one of blackmail. There was never
anything improper in my relations
| with her.
Il am baron, and related to all the
noble families of Austria. My Older
brother will be in this country within
two weeks and will spend the summer
in Newport"

WISE EASTERN SAYINGS.

Let me see thee at prayer. but pray to get the better of them in all deals.
 Ask twice the value when you would sell, and offer one-half the value when you would buy.
 If thou losest thy purse have hopes that it will be found and returned by an honest man. If thou findest a lost purse remember that the loser can scarcely hope to recover 1t.
 He who loseth his dog may lament, but not too much. He who loseth his wife may rejoice, but not too greatly. Were it otherwise, one might come to think wife was of more value than a dog. and we know that such is not the case.

TO RETAIN FRIENDSHIP

No friendship will last that has not candor for it's corner stone.
 Friendship, like love, is one of the few things in life that money cant buy.
 No one ever gained a friend by tell ing of the affairs of those who have been their friends.
 First of all, it is necessary that you learn your friends peculiarities and that you respect them.
 Small deceits, petty lies, will make enemies of friends and will cause more than just the two concerned to be unhappy.
 Sometimes for reasons they best un- derstand two friends separate to see nothing more of each other. Then comes the trial.
 If ever you were friend you will be able to keep quiet as to the weak nesses of your old friends to remem- Der that condolences given you when you were close together are to be re- spected more than ever now.
 Next never permit yourself to speak or listen to any disagreeable words about them. If you are in doubt as to some speeches they have made, or some action of theirs go to them and ask them what they mean.

Good Intentions.

She couldn't sing little bit.
But, somehow, she would never quit,
And with her wild attempts at song
Made funny noises right along,
Sent melody quite out of gear
Upon the patient atmosphere.
1t didn't help an awful sight
That her intentions We're all right.
But, pray, why single out the lass.
For there are others In her class.
There is the man of little skill,
Who cannot make a speech, but still
On all occasions must arise
To spout and take the foolish prize.
It's no less trying to the rest
That his intentions are the best.
The actor man who for a fact
Can do most everything but act,
Who works himself into rage
And jars the settings on the stage,
Who's funny in the tragic plays
And sad Wien humor he essays
1t doesn't make him strong and brigh
That his intentions are all right.

The state superintendent of insur-
ance in New York admitted on cross
examination that he didn't know any
thing about the duties Of his office.
Why should he? Surely he gets too

a man for a quarter of the money who
knows all about it.
The office is a political one, and ev-
cry one knows that the duties Of the
holder Of job Of that sort are to see

rock, was difficult to bond under the
road roller and consequently poor
surfacing material. But it was found
that by mixing limestone with it the
bonding value was greatly increased.
The practical application of this was
to treat the surface of the granite
roads with a top dressing of limestone
screenings. AS shown by laboratory
tests, the granite alone had bonding
value of six. The limestone alone had
a bonding value of twenty. Now, in
the scale of values anything as low as
te@ is regarded as poor material.
Twenty is fair, forty is good, and any
thing above fifty is excellent. 1t was
found that when the limestone and the
granite We're combined they had &C.
menting value of eighty-two. SO the
value of the fact brought out is appar-
ent.
The facts are brought out in rather

Cushman and Provost Hubbard of the
road office on "The Decomposition of
Feldspars." The report itself does not
make very Illuminating reading for the
1ayman, but the essential fact is regard
