The Unpopular Queen of Italy.

Queen Elena Of Italy," says Kel-
logg Durland in Woman's Home
Companion for December, "is one of
the most unpopular queens in Eu-
rope. Her court, which, to meet the
tastes of her people, should be bright,
popular, brilliant, is really the dull
est, the most stupid in the Western
world = have lived In many coun-
tries, and l am more or less familiar
with. all the courts of Europe, but
never have I heard queen so uni
versally spoken of with disrespect
and disapproval by her own court.
Queen. Elena, in an American phrase,
plays to the gallery. then retires.
She garners the wheat and ignores
the chaff She is quick to figure in
dramatic exploits, but reluctant to
submit to the daily grind.
Right or wrongly, Queen Elena
has the reputation among her own
people for being the stingfest queen
in Europe. Apparently this, is true.
She patronizes almost nothing at all
regularly, and if once in while she
lends her name to appear on pub
lie bill, it usually means this and
nothing more AS far as is known,
she gives less to charity, in. proper
tion to her means, than any queen.
If the world at large appreciated to
what extent she has carried her ideas
of simplicity in dress, the glamour
that surrounds her would fade. 1t
is impossible to worship doWd-
especially if she be queen, with all
the splendor and taste of the world
at her hand.
Il have seen her driving in the
Campagna, or even through the
streets of Rome. when would never
have believed her the occupant of
her exalted position had l not known
her. One need not be extravagant
in clothes to be tasteful, but Queen
Elena is not even tasteful. Here she
is in unfortunate contrast to the
queen mother who, still living in
Rome, is always exQuisitely gowned,
and no matter how simply, always
with unerring TASTE"

News from Fairfax.

Fairfax, Nov. 29.-Last week we
wrote in a joyous vein of a happy
marriage. This week it is our sad
duty to record the death of lady
who long lived and was loved in our
town. The remains of Mrs. Sanna
Boynton Cordray were brought from
Savannah last Saturday and were met
at the depot at Ulmer by many
friends and relatives. Then the
mournful procession was met at
salkehatchie church by the pastor,
Rev. Chas. Turner, who preached the
funeral. She died suddenly with
acute pneumonia, leaving four little
boys. the youngest only about three
weeks old. Her husband and eldest
son accompanied the remains to the
church.
Mrs. Cordray was raised near
Ulmer, but at an early age went to
the Greenville Female College, where
here record was so fine that the pro
fessors often said she was the best
and smartest pupil who ever went
there. Her mother died at the home
of her brother, the late Capt. w. J..
Sanders, when she was in her senior
year. Being then an orphan, she was
adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. San
ders,. and all of her. young ladyhood
was spent at their home.
She first married Mr.. Cordray, who
only lived one month, then two years
later she married Mr.. VIM. Cordray.
They had just built nice house in
Savannah, and had only been in it a
few weeks when death claimed the
fond mother and devoted wife. ,
Fairfax mourns her loss, for the
memory of her sweet, unselflsh Chris
tian life is still fragrant here. The
heart-broken husband and little ones
have the sincerest sympathy of all her
cid friends here. " :.

So out OF 81 heard from at 10 o'clock,

amendment
Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 29.-At
midnight unofficial returns from S3
of the 67 counties of the State show
majority against the constitutional
amendment Of 22,353.
Six counties only gave majorities
for the amendment. They are Sum-
ter, Talladega, Chambers, Lee, Ma
con and Pickens. These majorities
were small.
The counties not heard from are
remote from communication. They
are Choctaw, Marion, Winston and
Fayette. OF these. all are expected
to return majorities against the
amendment except Choctaw. The
vote in these counties will be light
and will not materially change the
result.
Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 29.-All
indications point to majority be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 in Alabama
against the prohibition constitutional
amendment to-day. Chairman j.
Lee Long, who has been in charge Of
the fight against the amendment,
claims that the majority against the
amendment will be fully 10000.
Jefferson county, in which is Bir-
mingham, the largest city in the
State, in spite of the fact that the
fight has been concentrated here,
gave majority of over 1000 against
the amendment: Mobile, Montgom-
cry and Cullman counties show the
| largest majorities on the victorious
side and it appears the amendment
has carried in but three counties,
Talledega, Macon and Sumter, with
Lee in doubt.
To-day's election being the first
time the State has ever had an oppor-
tunity to pass upon the prohibition
question, is regarded as especially
significant. Still it can not be re-
garded as straight anti-prohibition
victory because of the personal poll
tics that has been injected into the
issue. It's association with the ad-
minstration of Gov. B. B. Conner
and his reputed ability to name a
successor to the governorship in
Judge S. D. Weakley, author of pro-
hibition bills, have figured promi-
nently in the result.
I A significant feature of the result
is the fact that sentiment against the
amendment is 80 widespread. Rural
precincts, small towns and cities alike
are, for the most part, returning
substantial majoritftes on the win
ming side.
There has never been seen here
anything like the enthusiasm shown
in Birmingham tonight over the re-
suit. Thusands of people from JEFF
ferson and adjoining counties were
here to see the returns flashed and
the down town streets were one bill
low of enthusiasm. The result every
where is regarded as distinct re-
pudiation Of the present State admin
istration which had been particular
ly radical in it's so-called reform pro-
gramme
Chairman j. Lee Long of the State
of Alabama anti-amendment commit
tee tonight issued the following state
ment:
II want to congratulate the peo-
pie of Alabama on their great victory,
won through the efforts of the press.
This will serve notice on future
generations that the people of Ala
bama will not allow any of their per-
sonal liberties abridged.
81 hope that the gentlemen on the
other side will strike hands with us,
as we have malice towards none, and
join US in forward stride so that
we can go on and make Alabama the
greatest State in the Union"

they could say what will you give me

they could get what they wanted, as

market. Besides the satisfaction of

STRENUOUS MAYOR SUSPENDS TUCSON
 POLICE CHIEF
Appoints in His Stead Former Captain Of
 Rangers

Developments of a startling nature in municipal affairs are coming thick and fast in the Old Pueblo. An ex- change states that on Thursday Mayor Ben Heney, brother of Frank Heney, the graft prosecutor, formally suspena- ed City Marshal Nabor Paeheeo, one of the well known officers in Southern Arizona, and appointed as temporary police chief. Harry Wheeler, former captain of the Arizona rangers.
 The exchange says:
 Mayor Ben Heney Thursday sus- pended City Marshal NabOr Pacheco from office, pending an investigation of charges of "violation and neglect of duty" preferred by the mayor against the head of the police de- pertinent. In his recommendation to the city council, preferring the charges against Marshal Paeheco and suspending him from office, the mayor announces the temporary appointment of Captain Harry C.. Wheeler, former chief of the Territorial rangers, as marshal, pending inquiry into the charges against Paeheeo. The mayor in an interview states that if Pach eco's suspension is made permanent by the council, after a hearing of the charges, he will name Wheeler per manently as city marshal for the pur- pose of suppressing gambling and pros titutiOn and making q general moral cleanup of the city.
 The mayors notification to Marshal Paeheeo of his. suspension was as follows:
 August 19, 1909. MT. Nabor Paeheeo, City Marshal, Tucson:
 Sir.-In accordance with Section i, Article X, of the Charter of the City of Tucson, I have this day certified to the common council charges pre- ferred against you for violation .,nd neglect of duty.
 For your information and guidance beg to hand you herewith a copy of said charges so certified to oy me. Exercising the power and discretion vested in me as the executive chief of the city government and as head of the police, I hereby suspend your functions as city marshal pending the inquiry to be made of said charges by the common council. Yours truly,
 BEN. HENEY,
 Mayor of Tucson.

A STAMP MILL FOR
 PROPERTY IN CLIFTON.

CLIFTON, Aug. 19.-At the meet ing of the stockholders of the Gold Belt Reduction and Development company held at their headquarters in Clifton Monday, a contract was entered into w'+h J. Baekstein To build five stamp mill on the above named property and have same in running order on or before the 10th day of December 1909.
 The contract varies a little from the first one mentioned in this con- neetiOn two weeks ago. Instead of binding Baekstein and his associates down to milling. not less than 10000 tons in the three years, the contract now reads that they are to run the mill continuously for a period of that time and at no time to use less than five stamp mill, but are at liberty to increase the size of the mill and their working capacity as to large a force as they deem expedient.
 The first year the mining com pany is to receive 40 per cent of the net profits after mining, milling and all operating expense are deducted. The second year they are to receive 50 per cent and the third year 60 per cent. It is thought that this is a very fair deal for both concerns and everybody wishes the new milling company success.
 It is the first attempt to build a mill in the Gold Guleh district and too much praise cannot be given MT. Baekstein and his associates for the interest they have taken in the Gold Belt during its financial crisis and when all others threw it down.

METHOD IS FOUND TO EXTERMINA1E
 PESTS
Means is Discovered For Killing Gophers And
 Squirrels

Interesting results have just beer announced by the forest service as 8 result of the campaign conducted ir Southern California by Stanley E Piper, expert of the biological survey of the department of agriculture, tc exterminate ground squirrels and gophers.
 Extensive experiments were tried to determine the best means of kill. ing of these destructive little ani. msls, and it was found that most eff fective results were obtained by us. ing poisoned green or ripening barley heads. The squirrels are exceeding ly fond of this green herbage, and eagerly ate the poisoned food placed along their runways. Tests were also made with oats, wheat, barley, raisins, prunes, dried apples, crack cd corn, but these did not prove so successful.
 While green barley proved most successful for poisoning ground squirrels, yet the difficulty of procur- ing a sufficient supply in all localities led to dried barley grain being tried. The grain was treated with strych- nine sulphate, saecharine, and eggs, and although this combination prov ed very destructive to the squirrels, it had practically no effect upon doves and quail.
 In fact, a deliberate attempt was made to poison these birds at their watering places, but no bad effect re- suited. The poisoned grain was also used in fields grazed over by sheep and produced no i'll effects whatever.
 The experiments also proved that gophers were partial to raisins and dried apples, and these were success fully used in the poison experiment. It was found that by sprinkling the apples or raisins with the strychnine solution, as effective results were produced as could be obtained by in serting the poison into the fruit.
 The experiments for extermination of squirrels also resulted in the death of a considerable number of rabbits, and in other experiments it was found that poisoned oats proved very effective in killing both jacks and cottontails. Green alfalfa was also used with good results for the same purpose
