G OCIETY here and in Virginia is
~ deeply interested in a rumor from
London to the effect that Miss Nora
LanghOrne, youngest of the five hand
some daughters of c. D. Langhorne
OF Albemarle county, Va, has cap
tured the heart and received an offer
of the hand of Prince Francis of Teck
the goOd-Iooking brother of the prin-
cess of Wales.
That Prince Francis family were
willing that he should marry a
wealthy American has been known
for some time, but Miss Langhorne
has not a great fortune. Her brother
iu-IaW. Waldorf Astor, and the lat
ter's father. William Waldorf Aston,
however, have more money than they
know what to do with and are said
to be heartily In favor of an alliance
that would place them in the inner
most circle of English society, which,
as is we'll known, has not taken very
kindly to the elder Astor. The latter
is already reaping the benefit of the
popularity of his daughter-in-law, who
was Miss Mamie LanghOrne and who
at the time of her marriage to young
Waldorf Astor was Mrs. Shaw, having
married and divorced Robert Gould
Shaw of Boston in a surprisingly
short time after leaving the school
room. It was under her chaperonage

children one whole wing is devoted.
The library will be partly under

planned to give bastiOn effect.
Throughout the interior the feudal
character will be maintained in the
fittings and furniture. About the low

the river, are to be inclosed by les1sii
cement walls guarded by turrets. oure

keeping with the feudal estate.

DEWEY TO LEAVE HOME
PRESENTED BY PEOPLE

VIZ ASHINGTON. - Admiral Dewey
w and wife are to rent out the
home in Rhode Island avenue, pre-
sented to them by the contributions
Of the American people, to live at
1861 K street, the home of Mrs.
Dewey before her marriage. The
smaIlness Of the dining-room in the
gift house is said to be the cause Of
its abandonment by the admiral and
his wife. Admiral Dewey explained
that while the gift house is very COM
Portable, the dining-room is capable
of seating only IA persons, and this
fact has prevented Mrs. Dewey from
entertaining to any great extent. She
is fond of society, accepts many din
ner invitations and naturally wishes
to return the hOspitalities of her
friends. She has given a number of
dinner parties, but has had to restrict
the number of her guests more than
she likes to do.

in the Wall street district on good au-

group of young society men and wom-

The head of a family whose ances-

railroad systems in the country is
said to have been 100000 shares long
on Union Pacific. His loss in this
stock alone is over 100000. A
woman member of the Vanderbilt

loser. A close friend of the young
railroad man, also a society leader,
is said to have been almost 'broke"
in the recent crash. He has since
sold his new 70-mile-an-hour autOmO-

After Mrs. Dewey's marriage the K
street house was leased first to the
late Senator Alger, and latterly to
Secretary Hitchcock. Mr.. Hitchcock
recently gave up the place, and i'm
mediately workmen began making re-
pairs and alterations Their orders
were so imperative that they worked
far into the night.
Mrs. Dewey's home in K street is
magnificently furnished and it is said
that the Rhode Island avenue place
will be leased furnished. The K
street house was the home of Mrs.
Dewey during the lifetime of her first
husband, Gen. Hazen of the signal
service. Her K street house is much
nearer the residence Of her mother,
and she likes that location better
than the house presented by the
American people to her husband. The
title to the Rhode Island avenue
house now stands is in Mrs. Dewey's
name.

appears early late in life, is in most cases
''the result of germs acquired in infancy" and
namely by ingestion, it is his conviction that
freedom from infection can be assured only by
careful feeding and healthy surroundings in early
childhood. Won Behring however, has something
to offer besides means of avoiding infection.

MUCH CONCERN FELT.
Ordinary Methods for Treating
Catarrh Prove Unsuccessful.

Recent statistic showing an increase iT
catarrh has shaken the confidence of
medical men in the usual prescriptions to-
safeguard human health from the ravages
of this disease.
When stomach dosing proved ineftec.
tive, it was natul al to look for some ether
treatment, and it is believed that in Hyo-
mel an absolute cure for all catarrhal
troubles has at last been found. Breathed.
through a neat pocket inhaler, its healing
medication reaches every spot where
there are catarrhal germs, destroys them,
prevents their future growth, and soothes
the irritated mucous membrance SO that
relief is felt ain ost instantly, while last
ing cure is practically sure to follow.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81 90, and is sold by Graham & Wells
under an absolute guarantee to refund
the money if it does lot give satisfaction.
1t is the only cure for catalrh that has
eyer been sold under guarantee to cost
| nothing unless it cures, but Graham &
| Wells have so much faith in its power to
cure all catarrhal troubles that they are
willing to take the risk, so if Hyomei
does not help you, there will not be
penny's expense. Get an outfit at oRce
| on this liberal plan.

in which they accepted defeat.
That certain articles which

game, were written by outsiders
and that these articles dio not
voice the sentiments of the U.

ally, has been the opinion in
Corvallis, and this is more clearly
proven by an editorial in the
U. of o. college paper, which
says:
Oregon and OAC are now on
more friendly relations than ever
before. During the big game
on Saturday the rooters from
each section yelled freely for their

would have not even been thought
of seriously several years ago,
when only taunts and jlbes were
hurled from the supporters OF one
team at those of the other.
1t is true that the two Oregon
state institutions have in the past
borne a great deal of i'll feeling
