CANDIDATE TAFT, in his address to the Vir-
ginia Bar Association at Hot Springs, said that
the greatest question now before the American
people is the improvement in the administra-
ton of justice, civil and criminal, "both in
the matter of its prompt dispatch and the
cheapening Of its use." He admitted that there
seemed to be no adequate remedy to the in
equality of the law for rich and poor, but
greater promptness and the denials of endless
appeals would help much.

EUGENE V. DEBs, the Socialist candidate for
President, is quoted at his Indiana home as
saying that the Independence party is not
likely to be an appreciable factor in the pres
ent campaign. 1t seemed clear to him that
Hearst's party was brought into existence
from motives of pique and revenge and not
from principle. He added Had Bryan
supported Hearst for the nomination for the
Presidency four years ago there would not now
be an Independence party in the field. Every
objection which Hearst makes to Bryan now
could have been made with equal reason eight
years ago. Debs believes that the truly radi
cal Democrats will not be halted by Hearst in
their run for Socialism

Ma. FRANK SHERWOOD HAMILTON, who
went abroad in July, accompanied by Mrs.
Hambleton and several of their children, died
suddenly at Bad-Nauheim, Germany. Sunday
last. His health had not been good for some
time and his trip to Europe was hastily planned
in the hope of being benefited. Mr.. HANDLE
ton, who was in the 54th year of his age was
one of the leading bankers of Baltimore city
and occupied prominent position in financial
circles as the head of the banking house of
Hambleton & Co. He was the only son of the
late T. Edward Hambleton, from whom he in
herited large fortune. "HambIedune," the
beautiful country place of the Hambletons, is
situated near Lutherville, and the family is
well known in Baltimore county. The re-
mains of Mr.. Hambleton are now on their
way to this country, accompanied by his wife
and children.

A NEW religious denomination has been in
corporated in Chicago by Albert Blakely
andhis wife, Jennie BlakeIy, under the name
of the Kingdom of Heaven Church of the
Firstborn." The couple profess to have re-
ceived divine manifestation from out of the
clouds fifteen years ago-August 29th-and
they declare that i'll will befall anyone who
discusses it before the fifteenth anniversary.
Blakely is a carpenter and has been a close
student of the Bible for long time. He and
his wife were formerly members of the Latter
Day Saints Church, and expect a large fol-
lowing from that creed and from among
Hebrews. Some of the objects of the denomi-
nation are given in the charter as follows: To
rule and refine; to redeem Zion; to set up the
heavenly sanctuary to bind up the testimony
and seal the law to work after the spiritual
order of God in all Divine ordinances, etc.
IT IS a rare thing for any crookedness to be
found in any of the municipal Offices of Balti
more city and here is case that has some
peculiarities: Robert Lee Cochran was pop
ular young clerk in the Office of Building In
spector Preston. One day last week something
led to the discovery that all was not right in
connection with Cochran's accounts and in
vestigation revealed the fact that by means of
forged vouchers he had defrauded the office
out of $3.50. AS soon as Cochran discovered
that his books were under examination he
suddenly disappeared from the Office without
hat or coat and, although detectives have been
making the most diligent search for him. moth
ing has been heard of him from that day to
this. One of the worst features about the case
is that Cochran was married to a young girl
only two or three days before the discovery of
his crookedness. She has no knowledge of
his whereabouts and is almost crazed with
grief at his absence.

An American Girl for Queen
Continued from page s

her Interpretation of the most revered and
difficult of all classic French dramas.
With this last triumph Miss Calhoun's
stage successes came to a sudden end.
Intoxicated with her success, she made the
mistake of breaking her contract in Lon
don. The great manager whom she thus
antagonized vowed that she should never
again have the opportunity of appearing at
a first class theater, either in England or in
America. Miss Calhoun confronted by
boycott against which neither genius nor in
fuence availed. And thereafter the name of
Calhoun ceased to figure on playbills. Her
meteoric career-a momentary flash across
the heavens of theatrical promise-died out
into the darkness of failure. Eleanor Calhoun
has become mere memory,-a light OF genius
that failed.
Yet has it failed in fact?
There might still await her destiny as joint
ruler with Prince Lazar Lazarovitch over the
united Balkan States.
Should such be Eleanor Calhouns latter day
fortune, the ex-actress may find her sphere OF
life a more dramatic one than the stage itself.
The shade of Melpomene haunts the atmos-
phere of the Servian court; and should
Eleanor Calhoun find seat on the throne
stained with the blood of Queen Draga and
her spouse. who may say what her role may
not be? Thus after many days she may get
a stage of real life to move on. and all the
world her audience.

and Valdd might have spared herself much
trouble had she needed him: but, III view OF
past experiences, she placed small Credence IN
his serious attitude.
No." she returned, 1 will not forgive you,
and couldn't forget it in the face of all the
other things you've done. And now I'm going
to tell you what think of you"
A ND she did. She did it for fifteen minutes,
catching her breath with the art OF an ex-
perienced singer who sings and sings and never
seems to pause. She started IN at the begin
ming, and roasted him to a crisp brown. She
lifted up the veil from his wicked past, and re-
duced him to the consistency of shredded
wheat. Out of his own false mouth she con-
victed him, supplying the missing links, by
the aid of ripe imagination. Then, when she
had quite finished, she started all over again,
catching up the little details that had eluded
her in the stress of hurry. She fayed him
down, then she crossed it, till his morals re-
sembled double width bolt of Scotch plaid.
She dwelt for little space upon his hopeless
future, and stopped from sheer exhaustion.
In the beginning, Morson-Brown had listened
attentively and in apparent shame; but
gradually, the castigating criticism grew in
vigor and in warmth, the old expression of i'm
pishness crept back into his eyes. He did not
dare to look at her, but fixed his gaze on the
little boat that had snatched him from watery
grave for the second time-and smiled.
"Well?" demanded Valda, holly. AT
what are you laughing Mr.. Brown?"
"Oh, nothing particular" he answered
glancing into her big brown eyes.

little boat. 90 was just wondering how your
delightful yacht ever happened to get its de-

ALMA-TADEMA'S NARROW ESCAPE

well, as four o'clock drew near, Peter, so
he told me afterward, began to feel anxious
lest his friend should have forgotten the ap-
pointment, He paced up and down the bridge
and looked up the street; but the morning was
so dark and misty with the rain that he could
see only short distance. A few minutes be-
fore four, he said, he noticed line of canal
boats come slowly down toward the bridge, but
paid no special attention to them.
Just before the first boat passed under the
bridge, he stepped off Though in doing so
he was infringing the regulations-and saun-
tered up the street in the direction from which
he expected his friend to appear. He had gone
about forty yards, when the explosion took
place, and when he turned not a brick
of the bridge was left. If he had been less I'M
patient, or if his friend had been more prompt,
one or both of them would never have been
seen or heard of again.
But my own little adventure was singular
enough. As said, was not conscious of hav-
ing been awakened by the explosion, still less
of having got out of bed come down stairs,
opened the front door, and stepped out to the
sidewalk. The shock had knocked all memory
of these acts out of my head, and l have never
recovered it. But what puzzled me most was
the condition of things l found when l went
back into the house. The hall was mass of
wreckage; and the staircase, from top to bot
sharp as raZors, and so distributed that found
it impossible to ascend without light to show
me where not to tread. Nevertheless l had
come down those same stairs, with my eyes
shut or unseeing, and had never so much as
scratched my bare feet The thing was i'm
possible, and yet had done it. l had been
skeptical about miracles before that; but since
then l have been both believer and an
evangelist"
