Mystery Surrounds Affair.

The air of mystery surrounding the
circumstances of the death of the DUO
de Chaulnes, which was created large
ly by misleading statements with ref
erence to the place of the death and
the ultimate disposition of the body
was in no sense cleared up by story
which was generally circulated to the
effect that the due was in fact taken
violently i'll at some house other than
his hotel and that he was hurriedly
carried to the Langham, where he
died shortly after his arrival. It was
impossible to confirm or deny this
rumor
At the Langham all information rel,
ative to the death of the due was re-
fused, excepting the ''oficial'' state
ment that the Due de Chaulnes had
died at the home of a member of his
family and not at the hotel. 1t was
explained that this was the way the
family desired the announcement to
be made.
Later reports show that the due
was dead nearly twelve hours before
the matter was reported to the police.
The embolism mentioned in the cor
oners report is practically heart dis
ease. It is said that when the duchess
found that her husband apparently
was dead she screamed for help and
then sank unconscious to the floor.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Due de Chaulnes, Who Recently
Married Miss Shonts.
AIR OF MYSTERY ATTACHED

Stories in Circulation Differ From the
Official Report, Which Declares the
Death of the Young Man Was Due
to Embolism.
Paris, April 25.-The Due de Chaul-
mes, who in February was married in
New York to Miss Theodore Shonts,
daughter of Theodore P. Shonts, pres
ident of the Interborough-Metrop
Railway company of New York, was
found dead in bed in his apartment at
the Hotel Langham, in the Rue Boo
cador.
The dead body of the duke was
found by his wife. The death of the
young man was due to embolism, the
obstruction of an artery.
The duchess entered her husbands
room, but found that she could not
awaken him. She quickly summoned
help. A doctor came in response to
her summons and after an examina-
ton he pronounced the duke to be
dead. A commissary of police was at
once notified and the inquest opened.
At the conclusion Of the inquest the
coroner declared that death was due
to natural causes and that it had been
brought about by embolism. The po-
lice later issued a writ Of interment.
The duke and duchess had lived at
the Hotel Langham for three weeks
awaiting the completion of their pri-
vate residence, now in course Of con-

that wolves come to them and now and
that they understand what the animals

tobacco in little pouches which they tie
with sinew. These are painted brilliant
colors and fastened to willow sticks about
the size of the shaft Of an arrow but
somewhat longer,
Occasionally as a substitute for these
totems strips of flannel are fastened TO
the tops of the sticks and permitted to
flutter in the breeze. The sticks are also
gayly painted and inserted in the ground
or crevices Of rock on top of a hill. This
is done to gain favor with the Great
Spirit and secure his assistance in making
their practice successful or curing the
patient under their charge. The tobacco
or flannel constitutes, in fact, votive offer

One of the most extraordinary romanees
that ever cropped up outside of the pages
OF the most improbable novels has de-
Veloped in the matrimonial conditions of
Nat Goodwin and his former wife, Maxine

1t is alleged on good authority by per-
sons close to the leading actor in the affair
that, while Goodwin is about to marry his
former leading woman, Edna Goodrich,
Goodwin's former leading woman and wife,
Maxine Elliott, is to wed Harry Macmillan.

his trip to London is undoubtedly for the
purpose OF marrying Edna Goodrich, who
has been there for some time past visiting
the Savoy, C~laridge's, and other prominent
places. unattended except by an elderly
woman who acts as chaperon.

England alone pressed seriously for good

England its arch enemy because the British
government Of late years was always first
and most earnest in furthering the cause
of the oppressed Christian peasants.
The new regime and the people have &C
claimed England In an u~nmistakable way,
recognizing that It, indeed, has always been
the most sincere friend of the Turk and
that it desired better government in Turkey
only that Turkey might not be partittoned
among other states. Because of this gen.
eral feeling Of friendllness toward their
old ally the Turks will always give their
first favors. no doubt, to English appli-
cants, but Americans will hold second
place.

mean very much, for unless the Turks Sc

for admission, but also a number Of Mus

few of the last, because the government
did not favor Turks whose sons aspired to
European enlightenment. The American
girls school, too, has had to refuse APP

girls.

in which the Germans obtained first place
IN this market. I hardly like to call them
more than scandals. Charges against
them of selling the lives OF Armenians and
Bulgarians are made by the most en-
hghtened of the young Turks.
For opposing England on several oc-
casions when reforms would have saved
the lives OF countless of the Christian sub
Jects of the sultan, the Germans received
vast orders for arms and concessions such
as no other nation has ever been able to
obtain. The visit of the German emperor
TO ~Constantinople, where he was the guest
of Abdul Hamid after the slaughter OF
5000 Armenians in cold blood in the streets,
supported the sultan morally, gave him
strength in the eyes of his own people and
against Great Britain, enabling him to
continue the slaughter, which went on in
spells up to ten weeks ago. And by this
support of the Turk. Emperor William Sc
cured for Germany the famous Bagdad
railway concession with all that conces-
sion means.
1t Is a tremendous thing, this concession,
securing the exclusive administrative con-
troll for Germany OF a considerable stretch
OF land on either side of the road. 1t
carries a kilometric guarantee which, II is
said, would pay a profit to the Germans
II they did not run a train. 1t yields the
right of controlling water ways Of Irri-
eating lands and utilizing valuable forests.
The German embassy here, while per-
petually proclaiming that Germany had
no territorial ambitions in the country,
has yet seen to 1t that German concessions
every where were Of such a character that,
should any breakup occur, the territorial
rights Of the holders would be incon-
testible. Germany has got in here as 1t
and other countries have got into China;
the line of the Bagdad railway, for ex-
ample, marks out almost a sphere Of in
fluence.
But for the reason Of Germany's influ-
enee with the old government, It is out OF
favor with the new. The young Turks
have no love for the German here, for
they were the friends Of the sultan and
the palace clique; they were first among
the bribers of Izzet Pasha and the Mel
hamee brothers, and they sought to cor
rupt, so the charge goes, every Turk who
had any Influence anywhere. This secret
fund. it is said, must have been enor-
nous.

the empire by the change Of government

Nebraskas Part in the Work of Preventing Spread of tuberculosis

putting forth for those who need or may
need such paraphernalla.
The Nebraska Association for the Study
and Prevention OF tuberculosis, which has
co-operated with the national organization
the last week. has issued a pamphlet which
in condensed form gives the vital facts
about the great disease. Beginning with
the plague itself. medically considered and
defined. the next topic treated Is the prev
alence in Nebraska and after that con-
tagion. Under the topic. Means Of Preven-
tion,' the pamphlet says:
"Dirt, darkness, impure air, dissipation
and poor food are the friends OF the tubercle
bacillus. Cleanliness, light, fresh air, good
hygiene and good food are its enemies.
Consumption is a house disease. The most
OF us are at times exposed to Infection, but
both conditions must be present, namely
The tubercle bacillus and the proper soil
for its growth. Improper living, bad per-
sonal habits or previous disease make us
favorable subjects for consumption.
Live out Of doors as much as possible.
Keep your windows open day and night.
Keep yourself in a condition to resist the
disease Avoid exposure to the disease II
possible; II not possible, make your sur
roundings and yourself as u~nfavorabie to
the growth and life OF the tubercle bacilli
as you can. Remember the same measures
that cure consumption are the most effec-
tive in its prevention.
Consumption car be cured In almost any
climate. 1t Is a question Of what is done
rather than where It is done. In the treat
ment OF the disease, drugs are indicated
and useful, but never curative. The basis
OF all cures is fresh air, rest, proper food,
with careful medical supervision. People
who can command these things in their
homes can be treated and cured In their
homes. Do not exercise; get eighteen
meals OF fresh air every minute in the
~twenty-four hours and three to five meals
OF good food. On account of the lingering
nature Of his disease the consu1nptlve is
the ideal victim OF the quack, the chArla-
tan, the dispenser of patent medicines and
the originator of cures" Do not believe
the man who tells you that his medicine
will cure consumption. The temporary
benefit that consumptives claim from the
use Of patent medicines is bare deception
and is due entirely to the alcohol or opium
the medicines contain.
Change Of climate in consumption Is
often like the end of a rainbow with It's
pot Of gold. 1t is ever a little beyond. Toe
often the deluded seeker after health, who
depends on climate alone, awakens to find
that the time for proper treatment is past.
The expense of a Journey is often a serious
drain on the consumptive's resources and
the fatigue of such a journey is bad. He
should not work and he can rarely find oo-
cupation II he desires to work. Too often
he lacks home comforts. In brief, nc con-
sumptive should contemplate a change of
