The betrothal of Miss Gladys Van derbilt, daughter of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr., and the young Count Laszio Szechenyi of Budapest, Hun bary (the marriage to take place on December 4), had the dash of an An thony Hope romance about it. Whats more, the young people, knowing all the facts of the case, must be laugh ing in their sleeves at the sensation caused by the vague rumors from Newport that found their way into print.
 From what Austrian officials in this country say, the so-called sensation was quite cut-and-dried affair One of the richest of American girls had been formally betrothed in Hun gar1an castle weeks before, and on that occasion the details of the American betrothal in October" had been arranged. Then a young Hun garian nobleman had dropped quietly into Newport to play his part in the formalities.
 The first surprise over, every one asked:
 Who is Count Laszio Szechenyi?"
 Therein lies the romance of the story. Only the last chapter properly belongs to the Anthony Hope school. The first of it might be a short story by William Dean Howells. On the other hand, the real romance is wor- thy of Gibbon or Sienkiewicz In it are the raids of savage Asiatic peo- pie upon the nomads of the Russian steppes, the primeval forests of the Danube and the wild defiles of the Alps. There is also the pageantry of primitive war, the strains of wild music-of Slavonic harmonies em- broidered in web of national trag- edy-music hardly suggested by the Hungarian orchastras of the cafes, but mirrored by Liszt and Paderewski, and visualized a few years ago in the latter's opera, "Manru.'
 Then there are the green fez, the flowing white robes of the Turk, the brown habit of the Christian mission ary, the splendor of Hapsburg court, and tyrannies that led a proud people to a rebellion that echoed around the world. And all finally ends in basket phaeton on the Cliff Drive at Newport, with a young Hun- garian and an American heiresss ac- knowledging to their friends that they are about to marry
 An Object of Interest.
 New Workers have been watching Miss Vanderbilt with more than cus- tomary interest in the last three years. She is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, and the only one of her children unmarried Her sister is Mrs. Harry Payne Whit ney; her brothers, Cornelius, Jr.; AL fred Gwynne and Reginald Wander bilt. She is, too. one of the richest girls of her age in America, having come into fortune of $12,50O,000 on her twenty-first birthday last August.
 Miss Vanderbilt was introduced to society three years ago at a dance given by her mother in the great Van derbilt house at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street It was one of the events of the season. The house had not been opened for five years.
 The chat of the drawing rooms con- nected Miss Vanderbilt's name again and again with those of young men who might be considered her suitors. Sometimes these reached the news papers, sometimes not. One of the young Len was Robert Walton Goelet.

Cost of Milk.

The president of New York dairy concern gives the following itemized statement of the cost of milk: We have been paying the farmers three and one-half to four cents for milk, and after the first of October will have to pay four to four and one quarter. It costs a cent bottle freight to bring it from the farm to the city. It coCts half a cent bottle for cleaning, filling and icing. It costs another three-eighths of a cent bot tie to haul it from the depot to the wholesale house That means that it costs practically six and one-quarter cents bottle to put the milk in the delivery wagon. Out of the balance we have to pay drivers, inspectors and bear other expenses. There is really little or no money in the milk busi- ness" He might have added the cost of bottles that customers fail to re- item by no means small. The wonder Is to people who read such a hard luck tale as this-and producers and dealers of almost any variety of farm product that can be named can put up a story to match it-that all agricul- tural pursuits are not abandoned. Somehow or other, though, they go on, with everybody concerned showing signs of prosperity. Queer, isn't it?

Another mentioned more recently was one of the younger generation in the Gerard family. When any of these re- ports crept into print they were posi- lively denied.
 Then there were rumors that Miss Vanderbilt's trip abroad last summer had back of it desire to put as many miles as possible of sea and railroad between herself and one of the more persistent suitors. Be that as it may, Mrs. Vanderbilt and Miss Gladys went to California early last spring with Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard, then came east and sailed for Europe in April.
 From time to time reports drifted to America of their summer pilgrimage. They were entertained in London by Ambassador and Mrs. Whitelaw ReSl, then visited the ambassador at his country place, Wrest Park. Later they were said to be at Carlsbad for the season. Then the messages had them cruising on European waters.
 This went on until nearly the end of August. Miss Gladys was q on the 24th of that month. Mrs. Vanderbilt cabled an order to open The Break CTS, her Newport home, and she and her daughter started for New York, ar irving on Sept. 25.
 When Mrs. Vanderbilt and Miss Gladys reappeared at Newport, their presence seemed to crystalize vague rumors that had been coming from Europe. The gist of these was that Miss Vanderbilt had fallen. in love, in the good old way, with foreign noble man, and that, Vanderbilt-like, she would brook no opposition when she had decided to have her own way.
 Nothing was to be learned of the nobleman's identity. There was not an inkling of what had actually hap pened to Miss Vanderbilt during her trip to Europe. Certain Austrian of ficials in this country are authority for the story. They say Miss Wander bilt met Count Laszio Szechenyi-they called it Sa-she-nye-in Salsburg, a continental watering place, and that they had fallen in love with each other in short order. The counts relatives were told of it and Miss Vanderbilt was invited to come in the mid-sum- mer to the home of the Szechenyi fam fly, in the district of Horpreck's, Hun gary.
 At family gathering there, so the story runs, the young American heir ess. was formally bethrothed under the laws of Austro-Hungary. Then Miss Vanderbilt resumed her journey.
 Count Szechenyi's appearance in Newport started the rumors of Miss Vanderbilt's romance again with fev- erish persistency. In the young nobleman who was Mrs. Vanderbilt's guest at The Break CTS, Miss Gladys Vanderbilt's friends saw quiet, affable young man of 2S, whose dark complexion suggested a Magyar origin. Many even thought he looked like young Robert Walton Goe- let, with whom Miss Vanderbilt's s name had already been associated. The chief difference was that the count wore small black mustache with the ends turned up like the En- peror Williams.
 The engagement announced, every one is repeating:
 "Who is Count Szechenyi?" His full name is Ladislaus Szeche- | nyi von Sarvar und Felso-Videk. His 1 family is one of the oldest in Austria Hungary. Although count by right.

Salt water, so strengthening or dinarily, is most weakening when too warm. On most ocean boats there is an abundance of warm water in the bath rooms, and the daily salt bath is great tonic, but beware of getting is too hot. It will turn you faint if you do, even if you are accustomed to an equally high temperature in fresh water at home

Travelled Hands

In the course of our lives, says the statistician, although We write many letters, we have not the remotest idea of the distance our hands cover while travelling over the paper.
 According to him, the average man or woman writes about 30 words a minute, which, with the up and down stroke and curves, represent some thing like five yards, or 300 yards an hour. A person therefore using his pen for say two hours a day, can boast that his right hand has jour- neyed distance of 120 miles
 And this, 1t should be remembered, refers only to those who write, com paratively speaking, little. When we come to the professional element, jour- nalists, clerks, etc, who work six, seven hours day, the figures become startling.

Eary's Other Lamb.

Mary had a little lamb; its fleece
was white IS snow; it strayed away
one day, where lambs should never
60. And Mary sat her quickly down
and,tears streamed from her eyes;
she never found the lamb because she
did not advertise. And Mary had a
brother John who kept a village store;
he sat him down and smoked a pipe
and watched the open door. And as
the people passed along and did not
stop to buy, John still sat and smoked
his pipe and blinked a sleepy eye.
And so the sheriff closed him out, but
still he fingered near, and Mary came
to drop with him a sympathetic tear.
How is it sister, can you tell, why
other merchants here, sell all their
goods so readily and thrive from year
to year? Remembering her own bad
luck the little maid replies: ''These
fellows get there John, because they
advertise. "-Ex.

Negroes Opposed to lilly
white" Wight.

Washington, June 13.-Recent de-
velopments indicate that the feeling
of resentment toward President
Roosevelt which most of the negroes
of the country have manifested since
the discharge of the colored battalion
stationed at Brownsville, Texas, has
been intensified by the appointment
of Pearl Wight, of New Orleans, to
be commissioner of internal revenue.
MI. Wight has been identified with
the lilly white' wing of Louisiana
Republicans, and his selection by the
President is therefore distasteful to
the negroes. Nor are they pleased,
by any means, because John G. Ca
pers is to serve as commissioner until
Mr.. Wight is ready to take up the
duties of the position.

eminent bulldogs of New York, and
Mr.. Window, of the supervising ar
chitects office will leave next Sunday
for Galveston, Texas, to determine
on the site of the new immigration
station, which is to be erected there.
They also will visit New Orleans,
Louisiana, and Charleston, S. c., to
locate the new stations which are to
be built in those cities. At it's last
session, congress appropriated $4,000
for immigration stations in each of
the three cities named.
