AND WINS HIS WAGER

New York, Sept. 24-A tall, dis
tingulshed looking man stepped from
cab in front of the entrance of the
Hotel st. Regis at noon yesterday, sur
veyed his surroundings leisurely, and
slowly mounted the steps. He passed
several guests in the lobby, who turn
ed to stare at the stranger. At the
desk he found himself looking into
the keen eye of the day clerk who
has seen service at the hotel since It
opened, says the American.
While the stranger was in the act
OF dipping the pen in the ink and
reaching for the register, the clerks
eyes opened wide, and an exclama-
tion came to his lips.
"Why, your excellency, Count
Wtte, when did you arrive?"
The remark was pitched in a tone
which could be heard by dozen per-
sons. They stepped forward quickly
to obtain a better view Of the distln-
guIshed Russian, former minister of
finance, counsel OF the czar and spe-
cial envoy Of the peace conference at

WILL BE USED ON BALLOT

Chicago. Sept. 2i.-The prohibition
camel has been entered in the nation
al race against the republican ele-
phant and the democratic donkey. In
a number Of states the law requires

blem printed on the ballot. that no
voter may mistake his ticket
Alonzo T.. Wilson. state chairman
Of the prohibition party, announced
today that the prohibitionists have
decided to adopt the camel as their
mascot, replacing the emblem Of the
fountain and rising sun, which for
merly Indicated the prohibition col
umn.
Among the reasons advanced bv
Mr.. Wilson for the selection are that
the camel is the original "water wa
gon;" that it can discern a fresh sup
ply of water farther than any other
quadruped that it can travel faster
than the elephant or donkey. and
that It is under no necessity of getting
a hump on itself being already sup
