dom were chaperoned by members of
the 400" and were received by Miss
with a buffet luncheon of liver and
kidney which lated occupied a
cvonspicuous place on the menu
besides other dog dainties. The
most amicable relations existed among
the guests, even during the luncheon.
Several more or less serious firtations
occurred among the debutantes, but
the only thing to mar the function
was the illness of one of the pets A
veterinary was called to relieve the
sufferer.

Dealer Skips Before Reckoning
The Checks.
NO CHANCE IN M|ssouu POKER GAME
ALL ELEMENT OF DAME FOR.
TUNES SMILE REMOVED BY
MONEYS DISAPPEARANCE

MISSOULA, Jan. 17.-In these days
when the public is pretty we'll &C
quainted with denatured alcohol and
de-brutalized football. a game of poker
with the element of chance removed is
not such an oddly as it might appear
at first sight. Sucn a game was dis
covered in Missoula, while the blizzard
was bowling it's loudest howl
There are five or six angry poker
players in the city today and if they
could only confide their troubles to
an officer they would feel better They
are placed in peculiar position; if
they tell the officers that they have
been playing poker there will likely
be more trouble, and it is pretty gen.
orally known that they have had
trouble enough for one day.
Since the ban of the city admins
tration was placed on gambling those
who are fond of hearing the jackpot
simmer and sing have been in the
habit of seeking some sequestered
room far from the beaten paths. There
was a little game Friday night which
lasted until yesterday morning. 1t
might have been running yet but for
the fact that the bank-rOll and the
dealer mysteriously disappeared. There
had been $50 worth of checks issued in
the game, when the dealer said that
he would go out for a drink of water.
1t is evident that he went to, some
other town for the drink as he failed
to return, and with him went the
money which was to redeem the
| checks.
A diligent search was made in Mis-
soula yesterday but he could not be
found, and it is presumed that he
took one of the trains yesterday
morning for Spokane Or to some point
on the coast.
The peculiar part of the affair is
| that there is no law under which the
| dealer NAV be arrested. The poker
game is not recognized as a legitimate
| transaction under the law, and 1T is
not believed that a charge of larceny
would stand if brought against the
dealer However, the players who
were victimzed declare that it was
not a game of chance; that they
never had chance in the contest.

Aston NAY wEO A BEAUTY
Expatriated American Millionaire t.
Marry Countess Westmoreland
When She Secures Divorce.

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Cables from
London announce that William Wal
dorf Aston is to wed the beautiful
Countess Westmoreland as soon as she
secures divorce from Lord West
moreland, who is said to have con
scented to the separation.
The lord and countess have been es
tranged for some time. He recently
published an advertisement in the Lon
don papers that he would not be re
sponsible for her debts. She is 30
years of age and has several children
Astor is close to 60 and has been a
widower for some years.
Comment was caused when the
countess appeared at fashionable
function in London wearing jewels
valued at the lowest estimate at
$1,25O,OOO. Everybody in society knew
her husband could not buy her such
ornaments, and whispered that Aston
was lavishing gifts on her.
The earl was furious, but for a
time kept quiet for the sake OF the
children. The countess makes calls
now in a magnificent automobile pre-
scented to her last Christmas. Her furs
are the envy of all the women in Lon
don.
She appears supremely happy.

SENT TO WRONG ADDRESS
Seattle Society Girl Sues N. P. for
Sending Her Postal Addressed
"Red Light District"

SEATTLE. Jan. 17.-Mrs. Nellie
Ramsey Collins, who as Miss Nellie
Ramsey was one of the most popular
society girls of this city, received a
postal recently addressed in care of
the Red Light District" and now she
wants heavy damages from the North
ern Pacific company, alleging that the
card caused her to lose an "advantag-
eous marriage contract
Society is as busy as it can be
talking about the case. Meanwhile
Mrs. Collins, now a bride, is assuring
her friends she will have redress III
plenty.
Last spring Miss Ramsey's be-
trOthed forwarded her a parcel. The
address was not complete. Acting
on an incorrect understanding, the
agent sent the misunderstanding pos,
tai.
Thereupon Miss Ramsey found
herself in a pretty pickle. A member
of one of the prominent families of the
state, and visiting in Seattle with
friends at the time, the story of the
postal soon became current.
Her engagement with w. B. Collins
was called off, but finally renewed and
/ the wedding has finally occurred.
But Mrs. Collins, in her bill wants
damages for the following:
Disgrace, obloquy, ridicule, ostra-
cism, discomfort, mental suffering, loss
of reputation, nervous prostration, loss
of sleep, unhappiness of mind, melan-
choly, impairment of health, financial
embarrassment, loss of business OPP
pOrtunities and the loss of an advan-
tageous marriage contract"

TiIIman's "Wad" From Lecturing.
Baltimore News.

Senator Tillman probably earns
more money every year on the lecture
platform than any other American who
talks to the public for pay. From an
authoritative source the statement
comes that the South Carolinan's net
proceeds thus far this year from his
lecture tour are $4,000. Senator Till
man is paid from 5000 to $500 lecture
and he is constantly in demand. His
season is not confined to the summer
Chautauqua course and he fills nearly
as many dates in the winter as at any
other time of the year. In the last
four wears it is said that he has laid
aside over $4,000 from his lecture
receipts.

WANT A SOUTHERN MAN.
Convention I'm Tennessee to Boom
southern Candidate for
President.

Nashville Tenn. Nov. IA state
convention of Democrats here today
inaugurated a movement for the nom
ination OF a Southern man as Demo-
cTacy's candidate for the presidency
in 1908. Each delegate was instruct
ed TO work in the interest of sending
delegation from Tennessee to the
National Convention that would vote
first, last and all the time for
Southern man. and an address to the
Democracy of the nation was issued.
Only one name-that of former
Gov. James ID. Porter-waS mention
ed in connection with the nomination.
This was greeted with applause, but
Gov Porter, chairman OF the conyen-
ton. refused to countenance a dis
cussion along such lines.
Woodrow WILSON. president of
Princeton University. was invited 70
address the convention, but declined.
Gov. Patterson was a speaker and
expressed hearty sympathy with the
movement
The address authorized by the con
vention declares that the Democratic
party was born in the South: but that
this subject is approached in so sec
tiOnal spirit II asserts that cond;-
lions that made available candidates
from the East no longer obtain, and
that recognition of a Southern man
would emphasize the unity Of the ma
ton. The fidelity with which the
South has adhered TO the Democratic
cause is pointed to TO establish the
assertion made that the Democracy
of the South is entirely free from the
domination of corporate interest and
predatory wealth
II makes the claim that In lead
ership. in war, craftsmanship and
literature, the South is not behind
other sections, and at this particular
time we have men equal 10 the best
