Claims He Did Not, But His
Friends Say That This
Is Substantially True.
HE WAS MUCH FRIGHTENED
AFRAID THAT NINE, GOULD HAD
SENT FOR HER CHILDREN AND
HE DID NOT WANT HER TO
HAVE THEM.

Paris. July 4-The manner in which
possession of his three little boys from
their tutor, Able Noise Caynac. in
whose care Nine. Anna Gould had left
them. is declared by the counts en-
emies, today, to be nothing short of
kidnapping. An effort is being made
to hush the matter up and make it ap-
pear that the trasfer of the children
to the home of the counts mother is
in accordance with the courts order
and agreeable to all parties.
The truth is that Boni forced the
frightened tutor to turn the children
over to him several months before the
time set by the court for the children
to visit him, and was prompted to this
haste by the news that his former
wife had sent word to have the child
rem brought to her in England. where
she is now sojourning with Prince de
Sagan.
Under the courts decree the child
rem must be kept in France, but Boni
determined to take no chances on the
laws delay and with a big auto he
went to the hotel in Versailles where
the children were stopping, loaded
them into the machine and took them
to his mothers house. Nine. Gould,
it is believed. sent for the children to
have them present at her coming we'd

May Never Marry.
The Cri de Paris in an article evil
IDENTIFY inspired by friends of Count
Boni, expresses a doubt as to whether
the marriage of Nine. Gould to Prince
Helie de Sagan will take place and
intimates that something is likely to
happen to prevent it.
The article calls attention to what it
terms the reserved attitude of Count
de Castellane and the boastings OF
Prince de Sagan. 1t recalls the re-
cent interview in which the prince an
nOunced he would consent to live on
$360,000 annually and expresses the
hope that Nine. Gould's relatives will

HITS ROCKY SHOALS
Bark of Love on Which Mary
Mannering Sailed Is
Wrecked.
SHE SUES FOR DIVORCE.

New York, July 4.-That Mary Man
nering has brought suit for divorce
from James K. Hackett was learned
today from Miss Mannerings counsel
Among theatrical folk rumors of such
a suit have been current for several
months
The summons in the divorce suit
was served on Mr.. Hackett early in
June, three days before he sailed for
Europe. Miss Mannering engaged
counsel about year ago, but the suit
was not begun until it was apparent
that there was no further hope of
reconciliation.
Miss Mannering and Mr.. Hackett
have not lived together for more than
year. At the close of her theatri-
cal season a year ago Miss Mannering
took apartments for herself and when
she later went on tour she left her
child in charge of a sister, who came
from England expressly to take care
Of the little one. 1t is understood
that the complaint will name more
than one correspondent. Mr.. Hackett
first met Miss Mannering when he
was leading man at Daniel Frohman' S
Lyceum Theater and was appearing
as Bruce Leslie in THE Courtship of
Leonf." They were married May 2,
1897, but the marriage was kept Sc
cret until the following January. For
several seasons Mr.. Hackett and his
wife were joint stars.

INDIANA MEN ARE

Are For Kern for Vice PreSi-
dent But Are as Yet
Inactive.
AWAIT ON JUDGE GRAY.
DECIDED THAT BEFORE THE IN
DIANA MANS CANDIDACY
SHALL BE DOOMED THE OTHER
MUST BE DECIDED.

Denver. July 1.-The attitude of the
Indiana delegation or the part of it
that is already here for the democrat
ic national convention is puZzling the
politicians. The puzzle is this: John
w. Kern, the Indiana man suggested
for the nomination for vice pres:"e;-.
is on the ground, ready. in a dil
way. to take the nomination. anC
his state in position to demand the
nomination in case Judge George Gray
of Delaware, refuses it. At least pol
iticians seem to think that with Gray
out of the way Kern would have as
good a show as anybody else and per-
haps, better.
And yet his delegation has not be-
gun to fight. A secret meeting of
those delegates who are here has been
held and it was decided to wait until
the Gray question is decided before
doing anything for Kern.
All Right in a Way.
This is all right on the face of it,
but the enthusiastic Kern men are ar
guiug that the Kern boom out to be
got under way at once if it is expect
ed to accomplish anything. They
point out that other candidates are
working Notwithstanding that they
may withdraw in favor of Gray later.
But some of the Indiana delegates are
holding back.

Unusual Manner

Portland, Ind, July 4.-The en-
ployes of the A. & C. Stone and Lime
company's quarry, near Ridgeville,
drilled seventeen holes in the stone
during the morning hours, which were
charged with dynamite and connected
with a battery, after which the men
went to dinner. While they were alb
sent storm came up and lightning
struck one of the wires and exploded
the entire seventeen charges, blasting
out fifty carloads of stone and doing
it more thoroughly than could have
been done by the battery. Luckily
no person was near at the time of the
discharge and there was no damage
done; in fact, decided gain for the
company.

ELKINS OFFERS $4,000
70 Any Democrat Who viii Prove
That RE Has Any interest In
Virginia Bond Certificates.

Elkins. w. va. Oct. 22-Senator
Elkins authorizes the following state
incnt.
The democrats. through their pa
pers and some Of their speakers, are
repeating the worn u charge that
Senator Elkisn is interested In the
virginia debt certificates. This
charge whenever made has been de
MED and proof demanded.
Senator Elkins declared yesterday
that the statement IS absolutely false
and manufactured for political pur-
poses. He said. further: /" | never
was interested in these certificates
in ans way, directly or indirectly;
never saw one, and / viii give any
democrat $1,000 If he proves | have
any interest whatever in them, or for
every dollar he proves I hold OF the
virginia debt certificates / viii give
him $500.
"One Of the democratic campaign
circulars states that | denied this
charge, but must prove my denial.
Hcr1 can rove a negative or an
untruth; all | can do is to deny it
absolutely. Let those making the
charge be fair to the people and prove
thsir charge, or withdraw it.
Il further state that l have done
more than any other man in the state,
excapt the attorneys in the case, to-
wards preparing the defense Of West
Virginia in the suit brought by Vir-
ginia: that | have worked on the mat
ter constantly for a year; have held
conferences with the attorneys in the
| case and looked up facts and data.
Politics hould not enter into this inn
portant matter. 1t has nc place in
our politics.
I have AL along .rged non partisan
action and the employment of Secre-
tary Carlisle. a iemoarct, and Senator
Spooner, a republican. among the
ablest fawyers in the United States
and able democratic and republican
attorneys IN West Virginia to defend
our state. I believe we will be able
to show West Virginia is not indebted
to the state of Virginia dollar and
I am working to this end.
az have never been able to trace
this falsehood to any reliable source
or found any democrat who would
father it.

Wool.

Wool is raised extensively in all
parts of the United States, including
Wall street. 1t is used as a garment
for wolves and to adjust over peoples
eyes. In Wall street, wool takes the
form of fleece and is highly priced as
a protection for both bulls and bears,
who are often too thinly clad for their
OWL comfort. Thus the tender lamb
is glad to help out its brothers in
distress. The shearing hours are from
ten TO three.
Wool is obtained from sheep that
we remember to have seen in oil
paintings dotting the landscape. Dot
ting the landscape is, however, not
an occupation in itself, but is only
a means toward an end. Most Of it
is imported to other countries, but oc-
~casionally traces of it are found in
our domestic wooden underwear.
The phrase "All wool and a yard
wide was invented before the mod
ern laundrynan. Since his advent it
has been revised to "Ail wool and
three inches wide"
Sheep are very simple IN their
habits, and although they never use
hair tonics, or wash and dress their
hair every night before going to bed,
they seldom become bald or are obli-
ged to sit in the front row. Their
name is also always the same, so they
are not likely to get lost. When We
say sheep We simply mean a lot Of a
Sleeps gathered together.
In ordinary cases sheep arrive at
maturity in a year or so, but Mary's
little lamb Y grows old and is as
frisky as ever. Mary's little lamb
indeed is the only one who has pulled
the wool over every ones eyes and
concealed his real age ever since he
was born.
Wool is used in this country for
flannel bandages AMI chest protectors
In these alternate forms it is worn
by husbands who have caught cold,
and who have no other means to de-
fend themselves than to lcok sheep

Mother Jones is full or interest

would make capital reading for all
people interested in the labor strug-

II viii be remembered thai Mother
Jones was arrested in West Virginia
by order OF Judge jackson of the fed
eral court for violating the injunction
issued BY him during the miners
strike, in which he attempted to re-
strain Mother Jones ami her asso-
ciates from feeding the striking min
ers.
The good little friend of the miners

marshal. The warrant was served
while she was delivering an address.
After reading the document she re-
torted in her characteristic manner;
go and tell your judge he is the
worst scab | know of. He scabbed on
his father"
During the trial one of the mine
owners attorneys asked the good old
woman If she had not said Judge
Jackson was a scab. Before Mother
Jones could reply the aged jurist
turned in his chair and asked the
prisoner with firmness what she
meant by such a charge.
Mother Jones, not to be outdone,
| proved equal to the occasion.
We'll. you see, Judge" she began,
sit was the first thought that came
to me when the warrant was served,
and | had to let it out. 1t didn't oc-
cur to me in forty years. But away
back in the sixties | read in one OF
the Philadelphia papers that Presi-
dent Lincoln had appointed a lawyer
by the name of Jackson to the federal
bench for West Virginia. | also. re-
member the stir about the appoint
ment, for the papers declared that
the initials of yourself and your father
were the same and the commission
failed to state whether the appoint
ment was for Jackson, sr., or Jackson,
jr. 1t was also stated that your father
was out of the country, temporarily
and you took the job. 1t was discov-
cred later that the appointment was
intended for vour father. That Is what
| meant when | said you had scabbed
on your father"
This reply caused a general laugh
in the court room in which the ven
cradle judge participated most heart
lily.
When the trial was over and Moth
er Jones was acquitted. Judge Jack
son sent for her, and in his typical
southern style greeted the kind old
lady with, Judge Jackson wishes to
pay his compliments to Mother Jones,
and at the same time desires to as
sure her that he did not scab on his
father"
Il am glad of It," replied Mother
Jones, "for it is pleasing to learn
that l was not tried by a scab Judge"
