" terested in the contemplated d.
yorce proceedings between the Count
and Countess Gizycki and is recalling
the unusual conditions under which
the engagement of the count and the
former Eleanor Patterson of Chicago
was made known.
When the parents of Miss Patterson
became convinced. that their daughter
was serious in her attachment for the
Polish nobleman every effort was
made to put an end to the affair. This
was in 1903, soon after Miss Patterson
had returned from St. Petersburg,
where she had been visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Mccormick, wife of the then
American ambassador to Russia.
One day, without the slightest warn
ing, the count appeared in Washing
ton. Society was startled at the un-
expected visit, but much more so
when Miss Patterson made a round
of visits to her particular friends and
announced her engagement to the
count.

for opponents of the liquor traffic to
view this statement with alarm. It

A stranger is surprised by the num-

Il - surprising that ths4 turnstile
door has not long ago aroused q strong
protest on the ground thatft consti-
tutes menace to public safety: We
say this with due appreciation tof tho
ingenuity of this device. and the: sue
cess with which it accompltshes its
desired end of preventing the thrush
of cold air which accompanies the
opening and shutting Of doors Of the
ordinary hinged type. The object Of
the turnstile door is to provide an in
termfttently obstructed passageway
between the interior and the exterior
of q building, and it certainly fulnlls
its end only too we'll. The peril of
this device lies in the fact that, in so
successfully shutting the cold air out
1t ehectually shuts the occupants of
the building it. The drafty effects of
the ordinary door are avoided by per-
mittfng only small pockets Of air to
enter In slow succession, and the men,
ace OF the door lies In that fact that
people can pass through this same exit
In these same rotating pockets only
one at time. 1t is true. remarks tho
Scientific American, that the leaves
of the revolving door are arranged to
fold together, thereby allowing two
persons to pass the door abreast; but
in the event of panic the jam might be
too great to permit the folding of the
leaves. Moreover, the doors, even in
the folded condition, present at best
but a narrow passageway. We have

1t is likely that an advertisement
will be inserted in the Astoria news
papers calling attention to the fact
that the annual poll tax is now due
and payable, and that there is an
alarmingly large list of delinquents.
Out OF upwards Of 1000 men who
are liable to the payment, hardly 10
per cent have paid up, and it is said
to be not unlikely that arrests will
be made to teach the recalcitrants a
lesson.

but in many instances he has met
with stony stare and the marble

be paid. 1t provides for arrest and
