The Duchess de Dino, who was Miss
Adele Sampson, resides on the Rue
Reynaurd. She was divorced from
Frederick Stevens before she married
the Marquis de Talleyrand-PerigO
who in 1887 was created the Due de
Dino. Much of the best known society
of Paris and New York is to be seen at
the Ievees of the duchess.
The third duchess, de ChoiseuI-Pras-
lin, was a sister of De Courcey Forbes
of New York, and the daughter of one
of New York's oId-time best known
merchants.
Perhaps the best known untitled
woman in Paris is Mrs. John Munroe
wife of banker. She was Miss Hunt

Gray, a sister of Mrs. James A. Bur
den of New York, has for many years
made Paris her home, and entertained
with a generous hand. Miss Fannie
Reed is another hostess whose invita-
tons never fail of acceptance.
Mrs George Law, the handsome
Kew York widow of the noted million
aire, seldom goes out of Paris during
the social season. Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt and Mrs. William K. Van

fde members since they spend large
part of their time in Paris, and are
welcomed everywhere.

WORK TREATMENT IN DISEASE.
Especially Successful With the Mental
Iy Affected.

Especially Successful With the Mental
ly Affected.
Some interesting experiments con-
Quoted at the State Institution at
Mauer OehlinG have completely demon
stTated the great value of work at a
means of healing in various forms of
chronic illness. especially in mental
and nervous disorders, alcoholism and
epilepsy.
Under the supervision of DR.. Star
finger, the chief of the institution, no
less than 81 per cent of the patients
are engaged in some kind of occupa-
ton The majority are employed in
farm, dairy and garden work, while
others turn their attention to mechan-
ical trades, including the production
of Il newspaper, which is printed and
also largely written by the inmates.
1t has been found that the mentally
affected and those suffering from al
cOhOlism make the most willing and
efficient workers. Work has a quiet
ing influence and renders the patients
much more satisfied.
The favorable effect on their physi-
cal condition is shown from the fact
that the number Of deaths from tuber-
culosis have steadily decreased since
the introduction of the work treat
ment, although the number of patients
has constantly increased.
One other good effect of the work
treatment is that the general public
is found to lose much of its dread of
asylums when it sees the patients en-
gagged in some useful occupation.

could be charged against her any actu-
al offense against the moral code. She
became very popular, this bright, dash
ing child of the West. Frenchmen
took her to wife, and her beauty won
lavish admiration. Before long she
was upsetting old conventions, and
Paris was finding out that it could
learn much from the American colony.
Nine Walden Pell was a great pio-
neer among American women who
won a place of social Importance in the
brilliant life of the capital. When she
died in 1902 Mrs. Mackay took her
place as the American leader. 1t had
been a long battle before Paris capitu-
lated to Mrs. Mackay, but the splendor
of her entertainments and the mag
nif1cent hospitality she dispensed even
tually won their way. The sister of
Mrs. Mackay, the Countess Telfener,
is another brilliant entertainer, with
mansion on the Bois de Boulogne.
The Countess de Trobriand, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Mary Mason Jones of New

The penchant Of the comtesse is to
entertain royalty, and in the grand

many are in Paris, may entertain in

The we'll known Bible translator and
missionary, DR.. Erick Nystrom, is dead
in Algiers, where he has lived since
1887. He was also prominent in public
life, representing the city of Stockholm

The eleventh international temper
ance congress was in session in Stock
holm the early part of August, dele
gates being present from all over the
world There was great enthusiasm at
the opening of the convention, and in a
parade that followed over 10000 people
participated. About 100 delegates took
part in the discussion, which was eX-
ceedingly animated. It was the con-
sensus of opinion that the cause of
temperance is gaining ground every
where.
Rev. Ernberg, the prison chaplain,
has published a report in which he
states that a majority of the criminals
of Sweden are young men who left
their homes in the country for the
cities, where they expected to find
more remunerative employment Dis
appointed in their expectations, they
drift into idleness and crime. Rev.
Ernberg therefore urges that the rural
youths be kept at home, where they
are needed.

AS was stated in these columns, it

and shall enjoy all the rights of a free
country He said:
81 have inherited the kingdom as q
unit, and as such it shall remain from
generation to generation, but I have
also inherited from my father the ira
dition that the Icelanders are to be q
free people who cooperate with the
king in framing the laws under which
they are to live.
Il have therefore established a com.
mission, consisting of members of the
Danish rigsdag and the Icelandic
althing, to arrange the legislation to
define the constitutional position OF
Iceland in the realm and to find a form
under which the freedom of Iceland
may be built up and protected while at
the same time the unity Of the realm
is preserved and insured"

MANY ARE CLAIMANTS.
Demanding That Quarter Sections out
Of the S. n ,rant be Sold to Them.

What are known as the o. & c.
lands ino0segon have been the sub
ject of excited attention in Cor
wallis and Benton for several days,
and the interest is still at fever heat.
A lawsuit of large proportions is
apparently brewing in which the
people of the state will be the plain
tifs and the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company the defendants. All
through Western Oregon citizens
are moving to oust the company
from ownership of the lands, and
the movement in its sweep has
drawn into its vortex many Benton
county people. From 15o to $50 of
them have prepared papers de-
manding that the corporation sell
them 100 acre tracts of the land
at the price of s.. so per acre.
| The contention is that when con-
gress made the grant to the o &
; c. company, it was with the pro-
viso that the land be sold to actual
settlers at Sc. so per acre and in lots
of not more than 100 acres. This
is alleged to have set up a relation
of trusteeship In which the com.
pany became trustee of the gov
ernment for the sale of the lands to
actual settlers That happened
more than IS Years ago. and in the
meantime the o. & c. interests
have passed into the hands of the
Southern Pacific and a claim of
ownership seems to have arisen on
the ashes of the trusteeship. 1t
is on this point that the persons
W. O are after the lands stake their
hopes of making the corporation
part with the grant.
:, The claimants make tender of
s. so per acre Tor the lands, and at
the same time demand that certain
quarter sections which they specify
shall be sold to them under the
terms of the law. They expect the
company to refuse. and that will be
f a signal ior a resort to the courts
All the claimants join their issues
