Railway Conductor on the
Northwestern Road
HAS LONG BEEN IN SERVICE

Conductor Barney Cavanaugh-the
oldest conductor in point of service
on the North Western system, and
possibly the Oldest in the "-vest-wi1l
retire from active 70 ilrc-- !. e March
1. 1t is understood that March 1st is
the forty fifth anniversaryIof Conduc-
tor Cavanaugh's railway experience.
In recognition of hisa1ong years Of
service the companyswill grant Con-
ductor Cavanaugh a pension, which
will be paid him as long as he lives.
The amount Of the pension, swhi1e a
secret, is understood toabe equal TO
the average earning 81 of Mr.. Cava-
naugh for the past ten years.
For number of syears past Con-
ductor Cavanaugh- Barney" as
he is more familiarly known to the
travelling fraternity-has had charge
of the Chicago train. arriving here at
1910 a. m. and leaving again at 2.36
p. m. going south.
Owing to advanced age Conductor
Cavanaugh has worked irregu1arly
for the past few years. His.long SER
vice has earned for hin,s the sunques-
toned right among the officials to suit
himself as to the days ons which he
should work, and in many other ways
the friendly feeling and goodwill of
the railway officials have been:shown.
AS an instance of the changes
wrought By the passing years, it may
be mentioned that when Mr.. Cava-
naugh entered the emp1oy.of the road,
which is now part of the Northwestern
system, Marvin Hlghitt, president of
that system, was then telegraph
Operator. A friendship which sprung
up between the two at that time has
been cemented by the passing years.
Mr.. Cavanaugh is said to be sixty
seven years old.

DEAN HENRY RESIGNS
Retires to Recuperate and viii Later
Resume Work


On account of i'll health Dean w. A.
Henry, of the college of agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin, ten
dered his resignation as head of that
department at the meeting of the re-
gents today. About two years ago
Dean Henry requested that he be re-
1ieved from executive duties, but
President Van Hise urged him to re-
main, and has continued to do so
despite the fact that the request has
been renewed several times since then.
Recently, however, Dean Henry's
health has been such that it has been
found necessary for him TO be re-
leased from the responsibility Of the
great anaountaof executive work con-
nected with the direction of the col
1ege of agriculture and experiment
station. Although retiring from the
office Of dean. and director, he is to
continue in the college as emeritus
professor Of agriculture, and will per-
form such duties as his health per-
mits.

MARLBOROUGH ENTREATS
FORGIVENESS Of WIFE

LONDON, July 1S.-The friends of the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have
now given up all hope OF a reconcilia-
ton between the couple.
The duke realizes that the sympathy
of society has now completely veered
around in favor of the duchess, who
has made point of appearing and be-
ing seen everywbere-at the opera, at
the big dances, and the receptions. He
has addressed no fewer than five letters
to his wife entreating her TO take him
back and start life afresh. but the
duchess, guided by her relatives and
friends. has firmly refused the offer
every time.
The duchess greatest triumph, per-
haps. is the attitude of her mother-in-
law. the Warehouses of BIandford, who
has also made a point of being seen in
public places with her daushter-in-lew
The duke makes the Hotel Ritz. which
is only stones throw from Sunderland

MUSIC HALL
TO OPERATE DIVA

PARIS. July 13-Idna Cavalieri has

halls TO appearing as diva on the opera
stage is a big jump, even for a young
woman of Cavalieri's charms and bean
ty, and II is not long since this italian
beauty was appearing in the Paris music
halls.
Her appearance last winter at the Ne
tropolitan Opera in New York set the
seal on her great and swiftly begOtten
reputation. and when she appeared the
other night at the Paris Opera every
one was very enthusiastic about her.
Cavalieri was worth il all In the
character of That's, AIassenet's opera
from the beautiful romance Of AnatoIe
France. she appeared with all her mel
ancholy and exquisite beauty
1t was thought that her voice, though
pure and sweet. would not be strong
enough to fill the great opera house,

without tagging and with remarkable
power. and met with the warmest ap-
plause.

PARIS. July 13-Mrs. Blackson, an
American lady. who some time ago d.

bring an unpleasant case into the Paris
courts.
Mrs BIackson came 10 live IN Paris

her by her husband permitted her to
live In a very comfortable, IL not, indeed.
magnificent style, for she had hand
some apartment in the Avenue Mel. en-
tertained largely, and for many OF her
friends practically kept open house.
The lady. who is still young and good
looking. was naturally very popular
Some months after her arrival she made
the acquaintance OF NJ Jacques Portel
who lived by operations on the Bourse
Mrs. Blackson bought an automobile
and. wishing 10 insure Il and herself.
her new friend arranged for her very
comfortable conditions.
In return for this he asked her TO
tndorse some notes for him, accepted by
the Marquis Louis darcy and several
ether well-known people.
Mrs. BlacksOn accepted them and paid.
but when the date for their payment be
came due they were returned. for the
signatures on them were forged
Mrs. Rlackson went TO the magistrate.
but, yielding again to Porters persua-
sions, she forgave him. Portel profited
by her clemency to get another sum of
SO. 200. with which he said ne was going
to start a very profitable business.
What he was arranging was a mar
rage for himself with a prQvencial heir
ess and Mrs. Blackson, learning OF his
duplicity, had again brought an action
against him.

He maintains that, as we are descend

do He says that our present habit OF
walking upright Is the cause of most

FROM TUDOR VILLAGE

LONDON, July 13.-William Waldorf
Astor. the feudal lord of Hever Castle.
as he is called, has lately issued another
proclamation, warning all motorists off
the Tudor village which he has built
around the castle. The vulgar ''toot-
loot Of a motor horn in such medieval
surroundings is more than Mr.. Astor
can bear. but. of course, he cannot pre-
vent his weekend guests from footing
as they approach the castle, Those who
have stayed at Hever lately go into &c
stacies over the place, but they complain
that the parties are a little stiff and
dun, and exactly what they would ex-
pect from Bluff King Har' of the
Tudor days.
Capt. and Mrs Spencer Clay, who
will eventually succeed 10 this delightful
estate have been down two week-ends
in succession. At Cliveden, in marked
contrast, young Waldorf Astor and his
wife have been entertaining parties of
over twenty lively young people. in spite
