yYYHEN the former minister from
w China was restored to his pres
tige and returned to Washington as
minister, everybody fell into the old
habit of calling him Mr.. WI as of
yore. But it seems that since he
left these shores various academic
honors have fallen to his lot. The
degree of doctorate has been conferred
by the Royal university of Picking. The
Germans, too, have taken note of GER
tain economic efforts of the diplomat
and have enrolled him among the
savants of their imperial institute.
The minister is very particular about
his title. He takes as much delight
in being addressed as doctor as a
youth who has just taken his sheep
skin from q medical school. He cor
reefs all lapses into "Mr." and all his
official documents and letter paper
bear his new title. Mr.. WI, SO rumor
has it, would like to receive degrees
from American universities, and he is
delving into historic research which
will lead to such honors.
Though he has always protested the

WASHINGTON society is keenly in
w terested In the contemplated d.
vorce proceedings between the Count
and Countess Gizycki and is recalling
the unusual conditions under which
the engagement of the count and the
former Eleanor Patterson Of Chicago
was made known.
When the parents Of Miss Patterson
became convinced that their daughter
was serious in her attachment for the
Polish nobleman every effort was
made to put an end to the affair. This
was in 1903, soon after Miss Patterson
had returned from st. Petersburg,
where she had been visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Mccormick, wife of the then
American ambassador to Russia.
One day, without the slightest warn
ing, the count appeared in Washing
ton. Society was startled at the I'M
expected visit, but much more so
when Miss Patterson made a round

IL. l.. Woodbridge last night by George l..
Near, a machinist at the Union Pacific
shops.
The trouble between the two men arose
over the daughter Of officer woodbridge.

ing to her father. Is Is years old, has been

rooms there, sitting on the porch and the
father says that Near had his arm around
the girl. That's my father" exclaimed
the girl as she hastily ran into the house.
Near also started to run, with Woodbridge
in pursuit. Near turned. drew a revolver
and fired four times. Woodbridge kept up
the chase. however. and overlook Near
and, Calling the patrol wagon. took him

the house was recently visited by a bur-

he thought the man had come back for a
second visit. He is held at the station
under a charge of shooting with intent to
kill and it is expected the grand jury will

Mr.. Waddlngton yesterday attributed his
defeat to o~verconfidence on the part of his
friends.
The Board of Supervisors will convene
Monday for the purpose of making the Off
cial canvass of the returns. This 10 ox-
pected to result in some alterations in the
majorities as figured from the returns on
the outside OF the envelopes, as these re-
turns were in a number of Instances in
complete and somewhat indefinite. The
canvass by the supervisors will be made
from the records of the clerks of election
made as the ballots were counted.
The recent election so far az the city
precincts are concerned has demonstrated
the need for either restoring the circle at
the head of the ballot in order to facilitate
the counting of the vote or the use of
voting machines. 1t is also commended that
the delay in counting the vote in the larger
precincts has demonstrated the need OF
dividing these precincts. The general opin-
ion seems to be that no precinct should con-
tain over 400 voters.
There is already some talk Of making a
new division OF the Fifth ward so as to
reduce the size of the First precinct, and
also OF dividing the First precinct OF the
Sixth ward in which close upon 800 votes
were cast.
