PARIS, Nov. H-(Special.)-Mme. STAN

personality of the new czar-na of Bulgaria.
Previous to her husbands appointment to
Paris Nine. Stanciof was for twenty years
grand mistress OF the Bulgarian court.
Her majesty was overJoyed when she
heard of the proclamation OF Tornovo," said
Nine. Stanciof. How could she be other
wise when the news meant the deliverance
of her country from Turkish rule and her
elevation from the rank Of princess Ia
c~zaTina? When she had had time To con-
slider the change IN her position the Czarina
was almost terrified at the prospect OF
added responsibilities and duties. Her maj
esty cares for little besides her home life
and her various philanthropies.

de Rohan Of Prague has spent most Of her
time caring for his -four children and de
voting herself TO charitable work She SUI

head of several institutions--One an inter.

by Princess Clementins, the children's
grandmother, To continue their manage.

A Glove Romance.

As the elimination of a romance that
began two years ago, Miss Ella Rhynders
Of Rochester, Mich. will go to the far
west in a few days as the bride of a min
ing engineer. Miss Rhynders was employed
as a packer in the Western Knitting mills.
She was then II years old. A girlish
~bim led her to place her card in a mas
glove which she was packing with others
fol shipment. The incident was forgotten
by her until one day about a year later
she received a communication with her
card inclosed from Frark LockerIdge. a
mining engineer of Nevada. Photos were
exchanged and a correspondence was kept
Up.
Election night while eating supper Miss
RI ynders was informed by a messenger
that Lockeridge was in town ard wished

ment worthily and to Introduce improve
ments has been the czarina's chief occupi-
tion. For instance, she had the Interna-
t,onal hospital completely done over and all
the latest sanitary arrangements put IN.
Further than this she originated a scheme
which might be initiated to advantage in
larger capitals and that was to engage
trained nurses of all national ties. In this
way patients can be cared for as they would
be in their own countries.
That she has taken such an active part
In hospital work at Sofia is not surprising.
She Is setter equipped for such a task than
many so-cslled professional =. Two years
ago she was at the head of a corps of Red
Cross nurses at Manchuria. In fact, she
was in charge Of Grand Duchess Vladimir S
Train. For her services she was decorated
on the battlefield.
The only relaxation the czarfna seems
TO find much pleasure in is music. Before
her marriage when she was Princess Eleo-
more de Reuss Koestritz she had an ex-
cellent musical training. because her
brother. the Prime Of Reuss. is a composer

Secretary Post added that in continuing
the active work thus -inaugurated the Aero
club has these aims in view:
To secure extensive grounds for motor
ballooning and aeroplanins, with hydrogen
gas facilities, machine shops and suitable
buildings Tor storage, within easy distance
of the city.
To avail itself Of suitable locations for
ballooning at a distance from the sea.
To acquire the best aeronautic library

To hold its fourth annual aeronautical
exhibition.
To hold it's third annual banquet.
To hold the second contest for the Scien-
tific American trophy and the contest for
the Lahm cup and to inaugurate new prizes
for the competition; to sanction races; To
formulate rules and laws for the navigation
Of the air and TO have special lectures ON
topics OF timely interest.
Inasmuch as the number Of American
delegates to the international federation
is determined by the amount of gas used
for balloon purposes during the year. the

OPPOSITION To
THE NEW TREATY.
Arbitration ACT rs ATTACKED
ny PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH
CONTENTS.

WASHINGTON. March S.-Irlsh on
position. which. Il Is asserted. defeated
the arbitration treaty negotiated by
Secretary Olney and Lord Pauncefote
twelve years ago, now menaces the
new arbitration treaty which has been
evolved by Secretary Root and EN-
bassador Bryce. Already the State De-
partment has been deluged with re-
monstrances and protests from Irish
patriotic organizations. all directed
against the new convention. More
over, this opposition has developed be-
fore anything specific as to the ma
ture and scope of the new treaty has
been made known officially. There
has been nothing more than a ref
erence to the subject i'm the British
Parliament and some statements in
explanation based on that declaration
in American newspapers.
So the protestants are in the singu-
lar position of directing their fire with
out knowledge that there is an enemy,
for it may be that the new convention
is drawn upon lines that free it from
the objection made to the Olney-
Pauncefote convention. In that case
it was alleged that America stood in
danger of losing territory as the re-
suit of an adverse arbitration. In the
present instance, while the rule of the
State Department prevents the publ
cation of any details, it is the under
standing of the officials of the State
Department that the same objection
would not lie, for the limitations are
