YARMOUTH SEEKS DIVORCE.
Plaintiff is Favorite Sister CT Harry
K. ThaW-Another Alliance Of
English Nobility with Amer
lean Heiress Proves q
Failure.

London, January 3.-ilhe failure
of another alliance Of the English
nobility with an American woman Of
wealth became public this afternoon
When the Countess Of Yarmouth, who
was Alice Thaw, Of Pitts5ur@, daueh-
ter Of Mrs. VIM. Thaw. and 4 sister
of Harry K. Thaw. whose second
trial for the murder Of Stanford
White will begin next Monday IN
New York. applied 10 the Divorce
Court for an annulmant Of her mar
riage to the Earl of Yarmouth.
The court has ordered that the
proceedings be held in secret. The
only i1kling Of the charges preferred
is statement that the nature Of the
medical evidence given makes a~pub-
lie hearing inadviSable.
The Countess Of Yarmouth is stay
ing at Park Hall, near Evesham,
Worcestershire, a magnificent coun-
ty seat. She declines to comment on
the case. The Earl Of Yarmouth is
supposed to be on the Continent,
where he spends much Of his lime. 1t
has been we'll known for two years
that the domestic affairs Of the Var
mouths were most unhappy. The
Earl's companions and his manner
of living were such that he could n&t
give his wife the position il society
she had a right to expect. She sup
piled immense sums to defray her
husbands extravagances and her
friends say she ha~ conducted herself
admirably throughout the troubles
resulting from the unhappy marriage
and her brothers. difficulties.
The Hertford family, the head of
which is the Earl of Yarmouth S
father, and to the head Of which the
Earl is heir, he being the eldest son
Of the Sixth Marquis Of Hertford, is
one Of the oldest and proulest of the
British nobility. The notoriety
brought upon the family through its
indirect connection with the Thaw
murder case was CALLING and the eli
max to the oldest sol's marriage to
Alice Thaw is bitter pill. The Mar
chioness Of Hertford, who has stood
by her daughter-in-law throughout
aer troubles and has 1xerted herself
to reconcile the couple, is prostrat-
ed with grief.
The Countess herself has suffered
from the strain of the past year. Her
friends say she has grown thin rap
idly. They nave advised her to re-
main in England after the divorce
proceedings, but the Countess desires
to return to the United States for her
brothers second trial.
Last summer on the advice Of Mr..
and Mrs. Lauder Carnegie, ner
brother-in-law and sister, who we're
her guests, the Countess decided to
seek the aid Of the divorce.

discussed his trips through the south and
northwest. He said:

department of the Hamline Sunday

ness of ST. Valentines day suggested the
idea of Valentine or Heart" Sun
day. and in keeping with the occasion the
room where the department holds it's ses-

dered. Mr.. Marx Allen Watson. superin-
tendent of the school. in an informal talk,
referred to the prevalence of heart en-
blems on St. Valentines day and called
attention to the many quotations from the
Bible in which reference is made to the
heart. His remarks led up the the thought
embodied in a quotation printed on one of
six large hearts hung on the wall. and as
he exposed the printing by turning the
card over he asked the members of the
school to join in the reading of the verse.
This plan was followed successfully with
five other verses. Each member OF the de-
partment was later presented with a heart
of red cardboard on which was written a
quotation from the Scriptures.

WHERE DID QUEEN OF
SHEBA GET HER RICHES

BERLIN, February 22.-A new contro-
versy is raging here among archaeologists
with the Bible as the basis of the dispute,
though it Is based on no question of fact
that involves the truth Of the Scripture.
1t has to do with the location Of the ia
nous land Of Ophir. the land of gold,
from which the Queen Of Sheba is sup
posed TO have brought her great wealth
when she went up to jerusalem and be-
came one of the wives of Solomon.
The biblical history is so vague that the
discussion opens up a very fruitful field.
Dr. Carl Peters, an explorer of note and
former governor Of German East Africa,
has located the gold land in Africa along
the Zambesi river. This theory is all in
the interest of England" according to Ba-
ron Won Falkenegg, who is also man OF
note in the line of exploration. The baron
says:
From the Bible it is incontrovertibly
clear that the Queen of She "a. or Ha-
From the Harrar region, in the neighbour
hood of Djibuti she sailed TO Yemen TO
some southern Arabian point, and there
organized the great caravan. In all prob
ability as ruler of Habescb she was also
ruler of southern Arabia"
Baron FalkenegS then discusses the
colonial policy which King Solomon. in
common with King Hiram of Phoenic1a.
carried out. He says:
with his friend Hiram. the Phoenician
sea king. King Solomon established colo
mics in Africa. The PhOenicians furnished
the ships and the experienced sailors, and
the Jewish king supplied the money and
the soldiers. From what Is today TripOli,
along all the coasts of Africa, the PhOe-
nicians had their colonies. in northwest
and southeast Africa. all the way to Ha-
bosch. The remains of PhOenician struct-
ures of all sorts abound throughout AZ
RIGA. On that basis DR.. Peters rests his
arguments that the region of the Sim
babe Is the old legendary Ophir. The
gold ships came from the land of DIR
that is Africa" The richest deposits.

NEBRASKA IS FIELD OF
NEW MISSION WORK

LINCOLN. Neb.. February % Into
southwestern Nebraska. the most sparsely
settled portion of the state. have gone five
Oblate missionaries from the eastern Sec
ton of the country Invited by Bishop
Bonacum. they journeyed west to do mis-
sion work In four of the counties where
the people have little chance now for
knowing aught of Christianity. They are
pioneers in carrying the Catholic faith to
the people among whom they will labor.
They will have their headquarters at Nc
Cook. whence they will travel through
every hamlet In the great section which
:hsy have chosen for extending the CATH
Ollie religion.
The party consists Of Father Kerwin.
who came from Buffalo; Father Porter of
Boston. Father Audibert Of Lowell. Father
Sirois of Piattsburg. n. Y, and Brother
Silan's of Tewksbury. Mass: Father Ker-
win will be the father superior. Their
itineraries Will be laid out by him, and
in most cases they will find their stay
limited to one day in any one place,
which will keep them travelling constantly.
In only a very few places are there Cath
Ollie churches, 50 the services which they
hold will be in whatever place they find
wherein to erect temporary altar. They
will be forced to gain their living as they
go, for the work Is to be undertaken in a
virgin country.
This Is the first step in a work that
will later be taken through the whole OF
he vast northwest. There is plenty OF
opportunity. The American Sunday School
Union has some workers In the region anC
auxiliary branches Of the American Bible
Society do what they can. but the people
are poor and the support given from the
outside iS limited. 1t Is not at all uncOm-
mon for those who come into Nebraska to
find what John G. Foster did when he went
INTO one section of the state. There was
not q Christian man in the community
Finally one was found who said he would
act as superintendent of q Sunday school
IL one was started. He did not like to
have the forty-odd children being brought
up, he said. without some place to 60 on
the Sabbath. The school was started and
iourished even after q third of the found
els went to other sections. All the vari-
GUS workers who have come into this field
agree that 1t has in 1t more Of promise
than any they have visited and the OBJ
late Fathers intend to show that they
can do what others have done.
