Won Her : pIadem.

F How did the French come into Sici-

tertainment held at a French court
Beatrice, countess of Savoy and wife
of Charles Of Anjou, the brother of
Louis TX. Of France, was removed
from the superior range Of seats oc-
cupied by her two younger sisters,
the queen of France and the queen of
England. Mortified by the humiliation,
she returned to her apartments and
burst into tears Upon learning the
cause of her chagrin and her saying
that she would be able to give up her
life to conf1ne her tresses for one hour
beneath a diadem Charles embraced
her affectionately and said, "Set your
heart at rest, countess, for before long
l will make you a greater queen than
either of your sisters" So he prom
ised her. He defeated Manfred, the
last Of the Norman kings, and caused
Conradino, the great-grandson of the
Emperor Frederick, to be mercilessly
slain, he himself and Beatrice witness
ing the scene. Upon the death of his
brother Charles became king of Ma
pies, thus fulfilling the cherished de-
sire of his wife for a diadem.

can Apology for Graft. :.

In another remarkable article for the
June American Magazine Lincoln Stef-
tens deals with the threadbare subject
of graft alphabetically. Taking the San
Francisco bribery cases as his text, he
shows how the grafters high and low are
the victims of vicious circle of hold
ups. He says 1--WE Americans have been
out on man hunt" and are trying mob
like to catch some victim on whom to vent
our rage and hate. He has come to hate
this hate and this hunt He says he
has bayed this bay and is sick OF it, hav-
ing seen that if he followed the human
trail he was on far enough he would have
caught himself He confesses that he
contributed TO the guilt of 1.-THE most in
telligent rascal in the United States"
In every case he finds that men would
like to keep straight, but when it is only
a choice of giving up their particular
game of business, or of fighting, they in
stinctively fight The mistake of the
criminal rich is in assuming that the
success Of their particular business is
more important than the success of our
great experiment in Democracy" Stef-
fens concludes that the American political
prayer should be deliver us from tempta-
tion," and that all sincere men are COM
ing to see that governmental privileges
''are temptations too great for human ma
ture to resist" They are realizing that
we have to deal with things rather than
with men, and that it is conditions that
makes men bad.

more impressive and effective than our
own. She quotes extensively from the
American press opinions in total disap-

and injuries resulting from our celebra-
ton of Independence Day. Accounts
taken from papers century ago show
that in those times the day was one of

Controninw Cabba~e insects.


The growth OF cabbage plants for
late setting has been a very uncertain
venture in parts of New York State
for several years. Maggot-flies and
f1ea-beetles have become so plentiful in
cabbage sections that only small frac-
tions of the seed sown give plants
worth setting; so that many growers
have had to import large numbers OF
plants from other States, with greatly
increased expense and liability of in
PRODUCING disease. A simple and, so far
as tested, feasible and cheap method
for controlling insects on seed beds
was tested, not originated. by the
Geneva Station last year, and the de-
tails of the experiment are given In
Bulletin No Sol. A small bed was
covered with cheesecloth screening and
the plants completely protected from
maggots. From 1,S00 square feet OF
bed $4,000 sets were taken. while from
cheek plat intended to set forty
acres only plants enough for little
over four acres we're secured. BY TAX
ing of the cover for a week before
setting. the plants were hardened so
that there was no more whiting than
with plants grown IN the open air. The
screening method is very inexpensive,
and is apparently more promising than
any spraying or soaking Of the soil
with insecticides.

and Howard. Governor Wilson closed
the last chapter in one of the most
noted criminal cases in the history of
the State. and in which the people in
all sections of the United States have
formally expressed their interest by
signing petitions for pardon
In the closing days of January, eight
years ago, while the contest of William
Goebel for the gubernatorial seat occu-
pied by William s Taylor, was being
heard, Goebel was shot, dying later
from his wounds Tie shot was be-
lieved to have come from half open

that position. suspicion was at once di-
rected toward him and his arrest fol-
lowed
-Four times has Powers been put on
trial for his life on the charge of COM
plicity in the murder, the first three
trials resulting in conviction, and SEN
tenee of death being the penalty in
two trials. On the fourth trial. which
came after the case had been carried
to the United States court, the jury
disagreed Thereupon efforts for a par
don for Powers. as well as for How
ard, who had been convicted some
years ago on a charge of completely,
were renewed
In brief. the reasons assigned by the
governor for granting the pardons are
that the political strife and turmoil ex-
listing in the State since the assassina-
ton of Goebel may cease; that he is
firmly convinced both Powers and How
ard are Innocent of the crime charged
against them and that their further
prosecution and Imprisonment would
be a great wrong to the peace and we'll

fourteenth Republican national conyen-

Venfion plans, and when the crowds got
INTO the Coliseum nothing was wanting
IN the way of arrangements. Bishop
Muldoon offered the prayer opening the
convention, and then Senator Julius c.

temporary chairman of the convention
In the crowded human hive which

fall of National Chairman Harry News

drowned all further efforts of the chair
man for several minutes. Every seat
in the floor and galleries was occupied,
while on the stand occupied by the
chairman were men whose names are

been in their seats for an hour or more
and there was. accordingly, little delay
in the opening.
