New York, N. Y.-The boxes con-
tanning the ballots cast in the McClel-
lan-Hearst mayoralty contest nearly
three years ago, which have been the
object of litigation since that election
day, are to be opened.
This was decided by Justice Lambert
In the supreme court recently, when he
overruled a motion containing 20 sep
arate objections made by counsel for
Mayor Mcclellan in connection with
the recount hearing now in progress.
The justice also denied another mo-
tion to set aside two subpenas which
had been served upon President Dool-
ing of the board of elections which
ordered him to produce the ballot
boxes.
Justice Lambert directed President
Dooling to produce the ballot boxes
within 80 minutes.
The recount hearing has been in
progress several weeks, and is expect
ed to continue through the summer.
Nearly 1000 ballot boxes were used in
the election of 1905, and it is possible
that all the ballots contained in all
these boxes may be canvassed in the
presence of the court
Two subpanas directing William r.
Hearst to appear before the court
which is hearing the recount case, were
Issued at the request of counsel for
Mayor Mcclellan. The attorney said
the action was taken in view of Mr..
Hearsts announcement tnat he intend
ed to sail for Europe shortly. Sub
pena servers were sent out to search
for Mr.. Hearst.

Boy Receives His siuht.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Having been blind
for life, Herbert Martin, 14-year-old
boy, will be taken to his home at Lynn.
Mass, next week from the Howard hos
pital with his sight fully restored. Not
until May 5-had the boy ever known
the difference between light and dark
ness.
That Martin can see is due to a mar
velously delicate operation performed
by DR.. Campbell Posey, the famous
specialist at the Howard hospital, who
laid the eyes bare, uncovered the op-
tic nerves, and removed from them at
the point where they connect with the
brain soft growth which caused the
blindness.
Young Martin is the son of a Lynn
merchant and has been a pupil of the
Lynn school for the blind. His sister
a nurse at the Howard hospital and
through her DR.. Posey became inter
ested in the case.
This is said to be the only case re-
corded where person born blind has
had the sight restored.

Mrs. Guinness, She Thought.


Indianapolis.-Gov. Hanly has re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Emma @.
KOlb Of South Coventry, Conn, de-
scribing a mysterious woman In black
who has been circulating a pension Pc
tition in the eastern part of Connecti-
cut, and who she believes is Mrs.
Guinness.
The writer says she has seen a pic
ture of Mrs. Guinness, and that the re.
semblance between the mysterious
woman and Mrs. Guinness is striking.
The woman in black, who had a
pension petition, called at the home OF
Charles Kolb, on the Willimantlc road,
on the evening of May 4 and told a
rambling story about her husband be-
ing Grand Army man. She talked
a good deal, but not coherently, and
finally Mr.. Kolb gave her 81 and she
went away.
Mrs. Emma g. Kolb, his wife,
thought the woman bore a likeness to
the newspaper pictures Of Mrs. Gun
ness, and she wrote to the sheriff at
Laporte county, Ind.
The woman gave the name Of Mrs.
Howe and said she had come from
California, where her husband had
been miner. He died, she said, leavi
ing her an income of only $40 month
and she wanted assistance in getting
a pension. Her story, it appeared
differed at various places. o,
Mrs. Kolb said the woman had, gold
front teeth, and that fact combined
with her facial appearance convinced
her that she was the missing Mrs
Guinness.

Duke Coming for a Bride.

Washington.-Th luke Albe Is
coming to America this season ito
shoot big game" the dispatches say,
but behind the announcement is said
to be the sequel to romance which
began several years ago abroad, and
in which Miss Mathilde Townsend,
the Washington heiress ana beauty,
is the other party.
The engagement of Miss Townsend
and the Spanish duke has been re-
peatedly rumored, and as many times
denied by the young woman's friends,
but that an announcement of their
engagement is not the least remote
development Of the coming summer
is not denied by those who have a
happy faculty Of making interesting
inductions.
The duke will visit Mrs. Townsend
and her daughter at their villa in Bar
Harbor, advices further state, and it
is thoroughly understood that the big
game" mentioned as the primary
cause for the dukes visit Is none
other than the heart and hand OF
Miss Townsend.
The program for the entertainment,
aside from the visit. to Mrs. Town
send and her daughter at Jar Harbor,
will include hunting trip in the
Rocky Mountains.
The Duke D'Albe is young, hand
some and has fortune in his own
right. He owns a magnificent palace,
and is one of the most conspicuous
members of the royal circle at Madrid.

Strike VIII Continue.

Cleveland, ohio.-"The street railway
strike will go on" said President
Behner of the railway mems union.
President Dupont of the Municipal
traction company said the strike is
broken.
An effectual stop was put to all fur
ther efforts at arbitration by the dec
laration of President Dupont that he
would arbitrate nothing that might in
terfere with the men now at work. He
said he would devote this week to clear
ing up all labor troubles and next week
he would dismiss the whole matter
from his mind
Cars are now running on a full
schedule in the city, he said, and he is
ready to operate in the suburbs as soon
as they provide protection.
There were additional desertions
from the ranks OF the strikers, many
returning to work.

Justice pIdn,t Marry Them.

New York, N. Y.-The question:
whether Prince de Sagan and Nine.
Anna Gould were married in Hobolen
on April 10 last, the night before their
departure for Europe, was settled In
the negative at meeting of the Hobo
ken board of health recently by Will
liam G. Budenbender, the justice Of the
peace who was alleged to have per-
formed the ceremony. He was sum-
moned before the board to explain
why, if he had performed such cere-
mony, he had failed to file a report be-
fore the board as required by law Mr..
Budenbender said he had not perform
ed such a ceremony.

Keep Troops in Cuba.

Washington, D. C.-The important
announcement was made at the war de-
partment the other day that decision
had been reached not to withdraw any
of the American troops from Cuba at
the present time.
1t is understood that the conclusion
reached was based upon representations
from Gov. Magoon and Gen. Barry,
commanding the army of Cuban pacifi-
cation, that it might be inadvisable to
reduce the military forces in Cuba in
advance of the time fixed by the Pres
ident for the re-establishment of the
Cuban republic next February, when
the entire army is to return to the
United States.

London, Eng.-At Buckingham pal
ace Tuesday great state ball was CIV
en- In honor Of M. Fallieres, the pres
ident of the French Republic.
This was the eliminating feature Of
busy day of entertainment spent by
King Edwards guest. Everywhere he
has gone he has been greeted with the
greatest enthusiasm, and early in the
evening immense crowds gathered
about the various royal residences to
witness the procession to the palace
and to cheer the president of France.
The scenes within the walls of Buck
ingham was one of exceptional bril-
liancy. The royal guests assembled in
the throne room, and fanfare of tri-
umphs heralded their entry ito the ball
room, which was superbly decorated
with flowers.
King Edward and Queen Alexandra,
accompanied by M. Fallieres and the
royal encourage, passed down the en-
tire length of the room between rows
OF bowling guests. BY the kings COM
mand the ladies gowns were all of soft
shades of color, most of them being
fashioned after the directoire and en-
pire periods. All of the embassies
were well represented and many high
Indian officials were present. There
was great display of jewels and or
ders.
The queen wore a crown and Jewels
computed to be worth $5 100000, while
the duchesses of Buccleuch, Roxburghe
Westminster and Wellington and Lady
Dudley all wore magnificent jewels.
The Dorchester house party present
included the American ambassador and
Mrs Reid, Mrs, Reid attired in a beau
tltul mauve embroidered gown, Miss
Jennie Crocker in white, and Ogden
Reid. Miss Jean Reid was not present.
Prominent in the American circle was
Lady Paget (formerly Miss Stevens of
New York;.
M. Fallieres' visit to London is prov
Ing SO vastly attractive and popular
to Londoners that much attention is
being devoted to the comments of the
French and Austrian newspapers on
the probability of advantage being talk
en- of the occasion to develop the en-
tente into formal treaty of alliance.
Pourparlers already have commenced
for commercial treaty, and should
they be successful no doubt the idea of
stronger tie would be warmly well
coined. The newspapers here are dis
cussing the question with lively inter
est.

FRANCO GERMAN RELATIONS.
Baron Won HOIstein Makes Public a
Most Remarkable Interview


Berlin.-Baron Won Holstein, fol
many years director of the division
Of higher politics Of the foreign Of
fee, and who, since his retirement In
1906 has continued to exercise a GER
tain influence In the foreign policy of
Germany, discusses Franco-German
relations in remarkable interview
just made public. Inis interview was
probably issued with the approval of
the foreign Office, dnasmuch as 1t ap-
pears in the North Deutscher Zeitung.
Referring to the efforts of private
persons to bring about Franco-Ger-
man understanding, the baron says:
Il consider the time will come when
the hatred of the two nations will
diminish because 1t causes useless ex-
penditures. should regard such ef-
forts entirely inoffensive If 1t were not
for the occasional cropping up in the
French press Of a tendency to inter-
pret them as first symptoms Of dis
position of the mind which eventually
will lead to a revision Of the treaty
of Frankfort. This current of thought
could only bring disillusionment and
consequent recrudescence Of bitter
ness. am sure that Germany as
nation would reject with the utmost
energy the idea of such a revision. 1t
would be an affectation to dismiss the
possibility of the existence of GER
tain class in Germany which woul1
welcome changes in the treaty as one
of the most efficacious methods to
bring about the decomposition Of the
empire, yet an overwhelming majori-
ty Of Germans are prepared to defend
the terms of the Frankfort treaty, and
in a similar manner they are READY
to defend the empire.
"I am unable to give Emperor VIII
liam's views on this subject, but I be-
lieve myself In a position to state that
his majesty is in perfect accord with
the majority of his subjects in main
tanning the integrity of his grandfath
er's work. 1t is for the benefit of both
nations that a misunderstanding on
this subject should be avoided. think
the peace of the present day has a
splendid chance of continuing. The
inner workings and social politics
not only of Europe, but of the civil
nzed world, are so complicated and SO
many influences and counter infuen-
ces would be set at work in the event
of war that nobody can forsee the de-
velopments which an European war
would have in Europe and elsewhere.
It is impossible to calculate these pos
sible developments because so much
is unknown, such as famine, revolu-
tion and the temptation to. those who
look at the conict from the outside
This is known to the governments
and 1t is beginning to be recognized
by the peoples"

Thrilling Experience Of the Sea.

Woods Hole, Mass.-0ne Of the most
coast was the trip made recently by
a wrecking crew in charge of Bradford
Steele and Capt. b. L. Snow and the
crew of the schooner Mary l. Crosby,
which was fioated at Nauset beach at
O'Clock Tuesday night by the tug
Orion, and towed to Vineyard Haven,
which they reached about o'clock in
the morning.
The wreckers and the crew Of the
schooner 20 men in all, were compelled
to work at the pumps every minute OF
the time between o'clock and 8 the
next morning, to save their lives, as
the water was flowing in so rapidly
that they were then barely able to keep
her aaoat. She was beached on the
mud fats in Vineyard Haven.
All this exhausting labor was done
on empty stomachs, as there was moth
ing to eat on board the schooner but
peck of potatoes which were boiled
in the morning and ration Of one po-
tato each was passed around. This was
all any of them mad to eat till they re-
turned to Woods Hole in the evening.
All of the men are old sailors, and
they say that they never went through
such a terrible experience before.
The schooner Mary l. Crosby went
ashore Saturday morning and the crew
with their dunnage was taken off by
the life savers. Capt. Atwood of the
schooner thought that if he could have
tug pull her off he might work her
into port. When she was foated It
was found that she was leaking so bad
ly that 1t was all they could do to
keep her from sinking, as she was
heavily laden with granite paving
blocks and had five feet of water in her
hold.
