stop at Porto Velpo for twenty-one
days, and although the men were
screened in at night, they were bitten
in the daytime by huge mosquitoes
Eighteen members of the crew con
tracted fever.
Two iremen were so emaciated when
they got to Kingston that their rela
tives failed to recognize them. The
homeward trip started March %. The

Storers to Return to Capital Society

bassador to Austria by President NC
Kinley, the post being especially agree
able because Mrs. Bellamy Storer was
a devout Catholic and Austria was rec
ognized as the greatest Catholic court
in the world.
During Mr.. Roosevelts administra-
ton there developed movement to
have Archbishop Ireland raised to the
rank of cardinal. Mrs. Bellamy
Storer was interested in the success
of the plan, and there was much cor
respondence between her and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which brought the re-
port that the president was interested
himself in having Archbishop Ireland
promoted.
Bellamy Storer was then recalled as
ambassador by President Roosevelt.
and it became known that there had
been a wide breach between them.
The president made all the correspond
ence with Mrs. Storer public from the
White House and the Storers returned
to the United States and went to Gin
cinnati to live.
Mrs. Bellamy Storer was Maria
Longworth before marriage. She is
an aunt of Representative Nicholas
Longworth, the ex-presidents son-in-
law. She is well-known here in So
ciety, being particularly friendly with
the Tafts, the Longworths and the
Deweys.

Washington VIII Miss the Fairbanks

liam Mckinley Doubtless the prep
aration Of this work will consume
much of his time in private life.
Next to Mark Hanna, Fairbanks was
the counselor Of the Mckinley admin
istration. He was temporary chair
man Of the first convention which
nominated Mckinley in 1896 and 20
him, therefore, fell the duty of making
the keynote" speech Mckinley ad-
vanced Senator Fairbanks in every
possible way, and among other honors
made him the American chairman OF
the joint high commission appointed in
1898 to consider commercial reciproc-
ity and other important questions with
the government of the Dominion OF
Canada But for the opposition OF
stand pat interests in this country,
this commission might have made an
epoch-making record.
Mr.. Fairbanks owns farm not far
from Indianapolis and he has also a
fruit ranch in California, at Redlands.
1t has been said lately that he con-
templated making a trip around the
world Immediately upon his retire
ment, but this matter has not been
settled. He has scores of invitations
to address Chautauqua audiences, and
is giving them some consideration.
OF course he could not devote his time
to writing and lecturing and make his
world tour also, and he Is strongly
inclined to travel.

The Walsh-McLean engagement had

Wilson Retains His Place.
Only one member of the Roosevelt
cabinet retains his portfolio under
Mr.. Taft. That Is James Wilson OF
Iowa. secretary of agriculture. So ex-
cellent had been his work in that posi-.
ton that there was no serious talk OF
making a change. Born in Scotland In
1885, Mr.. Wilson came to the United
States in 1862 and three years later
settled in Iowa. In 1861 he engaged In
farming in Tama county. He was a

Dame Rumor Says Ethel Is Betrothed

the only Interference to an early
marriage.
Mr.. Phillips, the lucky man, is per-
soma grata with the family Of his in
tended bride. He is one of the young
est men who ever held position OF
such responsibility. He belongs to
one of the oldest families CT Massa-
chusctts, family which has figured
in the history of the state and country
since the earliest times. He was ap-
pointed third assistant secretary Of
state Dec. s, 1906.
Washington society leaders set
high value on the distinction Of being
white house bride. They are now
specializing whether Miss Roosevelt
will wait until 1913 in hopo that her
father will be returned to the presi-
dents chair or will be married to Mr.
Phillips before that time. In hand
with this speculation is tho forecast
ing of the political situation. with the
possibility that the American electo-
rate may be kept awake by the tales
of hunting prowess in Africa and will
give Mr.. Taft but one chance at the

PUNISHMENT OF THE SNAKES
Favorite Legend That Concerns ST.
Patrick's Power-Reptlles Prop
eriy Punished.

A favorite legend describes the
miraculous Punishment Of creeping
things from the Emerald Isle. AS the
story goes, ST. Patrick called his con-
gregation together by the beating of
a big bass drum, which was usually
carried before him 10 the hilltop where
preaching was held. On one occasion
it was beaten with such inspiriting
vigor that the snakes crept out of
their holes to listen, and the ardor
of the drummer was such that II burst
the drum.
The congregation was dismayed by
the accident and particularly Mortified
at the sight of black snake wriggling
down the hill with an irreverent leer in
his eyes and his snaky body shaking
with laughter. At once an angel swept
from the clouds and repaired the drum,
and the snakes of Ireland passed un.
der the ban forever.

way up the gulch from below Granite

them were nearly blinded by the snow.
