self in bad with the Chief of Police and
the Commissioners of the District of

from what I saw in a three-mile walk
after dark Sunday evening, is no better

Embassy in Washington was the center.
Long years ago the Countesse De Ches-

not a Count or anyways near one, i'm
migrated to this country and settled in
Pittsburg. She died there only a short
time ago. During all these years Coun-
tesse De Chesnay, who was reared in
luxury and refinement in the Chateau
