that the only way in which conditions
can be remedied is to face the truth
and begin reform all along the lire.

the city health department., which, its
report says. has done wonders with a
staff that is undermined and under
paid.
The milk supply in Chicago amounts
to 100000 gallons daily. The commits
sion will continue its investigation.

Aristocrat to the Last.

LONDON. July t. 1910.
The Due d'Alencon, who has just died at
Wimbledon. was a distinguished looking
man Of peculiarly charming manners, and
possessing to a marked degree that char
acteristic of his family. an extraordinar-
lily slow enunciation. His French was
charming. and his conversation almost
literary in his culture Of form and phrase.
but he spoke SO slowly and deliberately
that 1t was almost painful to listen to
him.
The duke knew England and English
ways thoroughly. for he resided for
many years at Bushey Park, but he never
mastered the English language with any
nuency. nor did he in any way adapt
himself to English life. but remained a
typical French aristocrat in manner.
dress and appearance to the last. He
never really recovered from the shock
Of his wife's awful death at the Paris
charity bazaar fire In 1897. She was q
sister of the late Empress Of Austria and
a very beautiful woman. The tragic end
of the empress seemed to accentuate the
dukes grief.

of the Cotton Association have decided
to support financially any legal proceed
ings taken by members arising from the

ed with having drawn drafts on Liver

lars against bills of lading representing
cotton which never had been shipped.
Several members Of the Liverpool asso-
citation came to America to investigate

HENLEY Is TOO DEMOCRATIC.
Smart Set No Longer Patronizes Fa
nous English Regatta.
Ign Correspondence Of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. July 4, 1910.
There is not likely to be any great
gathering OF society people at Henley
this year. For several years the re-
gatta has been getting more and more
of q middle class function. When the
railway service was bad it was well
patronized by smart people. and the
rent paid by the owners of the house
boats not only enabled the stewards
to pay tho expenses Of the regatta. but
to accumulate a substantial reserve
fund. Those were halcy0n days for the
town Of Henley.
But Henley has become democratised.
and. indeed. the only members of what
may be termed the upper ten" who
now patronize the regatta are those
who are associated with the college
crews, which form a large proportion
Of the competitors. The greatest fall
ing off IL in the number of houseboats.
which are getting fewer and fewer
every season. Last year there were
only about a dozen. including launches,
moored along the north bank Of the
river.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The action Of the board of directors OF

the meeting yesterday in deciding to sub
NIT to the approval Of the stockholders q
plan for paying a dividend based on the
valuation of the plant of the company
and not on the face value Of the stock,
may have been reflected in the course OF
the stock at the meeting Of the exchange
today.
1t is probable the course of the directors
had already been discounted, for yester-
day gas stock sold for 75k and 76 and to-
day sold at 75h
1t is recognized that if per cent
dividend is declared on the valuation
to dividend Of 20 per cent upon
the par value Of the stock. but there is
also chance that the plan will not
be Endorsed or that larger or smaller
dividend rate Will be fixed upon. SO
there Is quite wide range for specula-
ton.
