Countess Controls Her Fortune.

Pittsburg. Pa, January 4.-Thc
many stories concerning the financial
settlements growing out Of the mar
riage Of the Earl Of Yarmouth and
Miss Alice Shaw were set at rest
today by a statement, issued by
Frank Semplc, Jr., agent and attor-
ney for the Thaw estate.
Attorney Scmplc's state is as fol-
lows:
"There appears to be some misap-
prehension in regard to The fortune
Of the Countess. 1t is hll in her own
r"itrol. The Earl Of Yarmouth has
moi squandered her wealth. A large
part Of her finances were placed in
!"- ...."ds Of trustees by her father
under his will and previous to the
marriage of the Countess she plac-
ed the remaining portion in the pri-
vate trust for her own use and it is
bcin" held in this country and under
her control. Money is seat to her
from America as she wants it. THE
Countess sci aside an allowance for
The Earl under the marriage settle
mcnt, which he receives monthly.'
1t is believed here that should tn :
Countess secure notification of her
marriage, as applied for in the
English Courts, the Earl's monthly
allowance will ston.
The nature Of the charges brou.h;
by the Countess have resulted in
many expressions Of sympathy for
Der. Attorney Semple admitted to-
day that Mrs. William Thaw, mot:l-
er Of the Countess, is at her home in
this city, confined with a slight at
tack Of rheumatism, and that she has
telegraphel to New York that she
would be unable to attend the open
ing of the trial Of her son, Harry X.
Thaw, Monday.
"Naturally," said Mr.. Scmple
"Mrs. Thaw knew Of her daughter's 5
marital iafelicity some time ago and
of her intention to apply for di-
vorce. The public announcement
that the Countess had taken this ac-
tioH has not therefore been so sever,
a shock to Mrs. Thaw as it would
had she been unprepared for il. This
has nothing to do with her not going
to New York.

64 voters were unable to vote be-
cause their voting place was on tho

find that 65 could not vot, because
Of this fact. Granting that there
were 65. and taking this from l79, it
leaves ia, which the opponents Of
the new county would have ia have
in order to have mc-third of the vote
pollcd by those who voted in favor
OF the county. In other words, the
opponents Of the formation Of tne

ELECTION ADJUDGED VOID.
County Board Decides Against Cal.
houn County-An Appeal is
Very Likely.

The State.
Orangeburg. Jan. 2.-Thc county
board of canvasSerS after spending
two days hearing testimony and cvi-
dcncc, today declared the Calhoun
county election illegal, null and void.
Tine board is composed Of John S.
Bowman. Jr., chairman; w. 3. Foglo
; and II. j. Hart.
The decision Of The board. which
was unanimous, is as follows:
'Wc find STm2 irregularities in
several books. such as voting outside
Of right precinct, moi demanding pro-
pcr proof Of payment of taxes. etc.,
but we find there are not enough
of tncsc irregularities to change the
result Of this election.
"Wc further find that about 65
or more qualified electors, residing
within the area OF The proposed lew
county nf Calhoun, includin" por-
tions Of Orange. Goobys and Popular
townships, were deprived Of the con-
stitutional riwnt to vote III this cleo
ton rs the said electors are residents
Of the proposed new county, while
, their votin" places are without, and
: the act Of the legislature relating ic
| the formation of new counties does
not provide the means or thc oppor-
tunity to vote in such ease.
"We therefore find that in depriv,
ing these qualified electors of the
right to vote the constitutional pro-
vision has been violated, and on this
grouad we de hereby declare This
election null and void.'
II is presumed that the Calhoun
county advocates will appeal to tht
state board. and should that body not
reverse tnc county board they vii
take the matter to the supreme court
However, the matter would be talk,

ponents Of the new county in the ev-

Another Account.

Friends of the new county arrlv
ing here last hight from Oran"1burg
rave out the inluwin" statement
concerning the decision Of the coun-
+" board Of canvaSs,rS.
"Thr board Of canvaSSrrS for
Ora11ebu:" county nave been busy
ifor the past few days hearing the
evidence in regard 10 the contest OF
the Calhoun county election. Tues
day and Wednesday were taken up
with testimony and arguments and
today the board rendered its decision.
"Thc parties who have contested
the election were The sam" parties
who recently inStitutd ease before
the supreme court. In that case they
made the point tnat a certain num-
Der Of qualified electors would moi be
able to vote because their voting
places wcrc on the outside; that is,
on the outside; that nS, not included
! within the line Of the new county.
The supreme court in passin" upon
this point said very plainly that
while this was serious question still

ASKS FOR MONEY
FOR MERGER SUIT.
Lyon Says He Must Have $4,000 For
Real Trial.

Attorney General Lyon, in lis re-
port to the general assembly, max IS
the following comment and recon-
mendations concerning the celebrated
merger suit:
"In pursuance Of the authority
given by the legislature at its last
session, I employed Mcssrs. Bellin-
ger & Welch as associate counsel.
"The case was called for trial be-
fore Judge j. G. Klueh on the 9th
day of December, 1907. An order
was passed allowing the state to
withdraw its complaint upon paymcnr
Of costs. This action was taken for
several reasons, among which are The
following:
From what the attorneys for the
state can gather, from the probable
evidence III the case as it at present
appears, the pleadings will be more
satisfactory if reformed. IT is be-
lieved that with sufficient funds. evi-
dence will be obtained to establish
the facts That the leased lines are
/ competing and parallel within the
meaning Of the constitution, and the
state would be at great disadvantages
if the ease should be tried on its
merits without further opportunity
to establish the true facts.
"It is believed that in many in
stances positive financial damage is
being done the people along the lines
of the roads held under the lease.
"The state finds itself confronted
with number Of the most promin-
ent railroad attorneys Of America.
and thorough organization on the
part of The railroad for collection
of its evidence. As matter Of fact,
the railroad is privy to all Of the
facts in the ease. while the state
must ferret them ont as best it can.
The state. under present conditions,
has not the money necessary to de-
fray the expenses of collecting the
evidence on its part.
eff this ease is to be litieated seri-
ously. an appropriation Of not less
than $4,000 should be made for that
purpose and for payment of associate
counsel fees. IF the legislature is not
willing to appropriate sufficient funds
TO give this case full and thorough
trial. ii would be best to discontinue
it.
"It is my opinion that the lease
held by the Southern railway should
not be confirmed as the result of a
trial which would necessarily be lit
tie better than a sham with the means
at my disposal at present for the
preparation of the casc.'

Some women have a fancy for plain.

than lace or embroidery for trimming

frfllings. which come in all widths.
some OF which are hemstitched, while
all are supplied with drawing string
by which to gather them.
These are easily applied to the edge
Of hens, as there are no raw edges to
be disposed Of.
The trimming is quaint and reminds
one Of her grandmother's linens piled
with tiny stitches and redolent of

Soutache extends even TO sash trim
