VIENNESE SOCIETY WOMEN
SEEK PALE COMPILATIONS
Dressmaker Declares Bending Over
Machine in Poorly Ventilated
Room Proper Recipe

VIENNA, March 4-Rosy checks
and bright compilations are discour-
aged in Vienna society this season,
and the dream of Viennese ladies is
to acquire a pale cream complexion. A
grimly satirical letter from a poor
dressmaker on this vogue is published
in the Arbeiter Zeitung.
She offers her readers a certain
means of acquiring the fashionable
pallor. Her recipe, she says, is in
fallible. She has tried it. She sits for
twelve hours day leaning over
sewing machine with eleven other girls
in a room only large enough for six.
A single window only half lights the
room, and the air is Vitiated by the
gas that is burnt for many hours of
the day. Any lady desiring the fashion
able pallor need only take her place
for two or three weeks. If she wishes
to add a modish slenderness to this
charm, she can omit a midday meal
two or three times a week, as is the
dressmaker's custom. She adds: II,
Anna Plagdlch, with my indestructible
pale cream complexion, guarantee the
success of this experiment"

MINING EXPERTS REPORT
ON DIAMOND PROSPECT
Blue Ground Found in East Griqualand
at Depth of Eighty
Feet

CAPE TOWN, March 4.-Rumors of
impending trouble in Basutoland have
reached Bloemfontein. The Ficksburg
correspondent of the Post says there is
ground for the belief that the natives
are preparing for war. TRADERS admit
that very large number of saddles
and blankets have been purchased
lately. Frequently the young chiefs
are in town here buying and dealing in
cattle. They are reticent, but the in
dumas impart much information. They
admit that the chiefs have been in
correspondence with Zulu chiefs, and
with others in Cape Colony and all
over the country. A missionary who
was staying in town the other day re-
marked that there was no doubt the
nation was ripe for a thrashing, and
badly wanted it, They were cheeky
and getting out of hand.
That Basutoland has been quiescent
has been acknowledged for many
months now, and during the past few
weeks residents on the border hear
daily of what are evidently prepara-
tions for war" This statement has at
tracted much attention, but it receives
no credence in official quarters. 1t is,
however, admitted that there is some
among the Basutos over
the stringency of the regulations re-
garding cattle disease. They are also
said to be apprehensive as to their po-
sition under union reports having been
spread among them that they will be
deprived of their land. When they
their actual position it is
believed the unrest will disappear.

PEACE ASSURED
FOR NICARAGUA
AMERICAN INTERVENTION NOW
LIKELY
ESTRADA WILL INSIST ON ALL
RIGHTS DEMANDED
Recruits and Ammunition Have Been
Secured by RevoIutionsts, but
the Army Is Scattered and
in Retreat
ASSOCIATED Pressl


BLUEFIELDS, March 4.-After
three days of secret conference, there
is every reason to believe that Cen
eral Estrada, the leader of the revo-
lutionists, and his advisers, reluct-
anlty have acquiseced i'm the demand
of American residents in Nicaragua
that a receptive ear be turned to any
proposal OF American Intervention that
will guarantee to them the rights de-
manded, the denial of which caused
the revolution.
The original demands OF the revolu-
tionists included the overthrow of
President Zelaya, and the restoration
to the people of the constitutional and
common rights of citizens.
While Generals Estrada, Diaz and
RIVERA and the 'other conferees are
silent concerning the matter, their fire.
quent calls upon Thomas p Moffat
the American consul, are considered
to support this view.
1t is safe to say that General
Chamorros defeat has not altered the
view of the people on the east coast
of Nicaragua as to the guarantees that
are necessary to peace. Undoubtedly
they will demand the fulfllment of
every principle for which the armies
have fought. and President Madriz
has frequently admitted their justice.
American interests in Nicaragua
will insist that the payment of revo-
lutionary debts be part of any agree
ment. Merchants have extended
credit to the revolutionists on the as
surance that the United States was
behind them, and they argue that the
Washington government is bound to
safeguard their interests.
Nothing except Intervention can stop
the war. General Mena has spread his
forces between San Vicente and La
Manga, to resist every advance the
government troops may attempt on
BlIefields. He is also securing re-
cruits and ammunition.

BASUTOLAND NATION is
PREPARING FOR WAR

DURHAM, March 4.-Natal is greatly
interested in the reported discovery OF
diamond mine in the border country
between the colony and East Griqua-
land. Two mining experts who have
returned to Pietermaritzburg after ex-
amining the ground report that the
prospects are good. They found that
q considerable amount of work had al
ready been done.
A shaft had been sunk to a depth
of eighty feet and the blue ground had
actually been discovered, but concen-
trates had been found similar to those
which usually contain diamonds, and
there appeared to be no doubt that
when proper arrangements were made
for treating the soil the gems them
selves would be recovered. The sur
face indications pointed to the exist
ence of a mine some 200 yards square.
All the samples conveyed to Pieter-
maritzbug have been favorably re-
ported on.

GoLDSMITH'S cWLHooD
HOME GOING TO RUIN

DUBLIN, March AT a meeting Of
the Westmeath county council at Null
lingar a letter was read from Dean
Kelly of Athlone drawing the councils
attention to the ruinous condition of
the home of Oliver Goldsmiths child
hood at Lissoy. The old chimney had
fallen, the capacious fireplace was
gone, and the house, he said, was now
a mere shell. A zinc-roofed shed had
been erected within it. Dean Kelly
added that the state of the famous old
mansion was not creditable to county
Westmeath, and he suggested that the
county council should re-erect the
fallen chimney and fireplace, remove
the shed and safeguard the outer
walls. The council agreed with Dean
Kelly's suggestion and referred the
matter to their secretary.

Mantell as Richelieu, the
One Great Stage Cardinal
BY SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

TN HERE have been Richelieus and
Richelieus-good, bad and indif-
= ferent, for nearly every actor of
any consequence has at some time in
his career attempted the great cardi-
nal of France who "out of her ashes
made her rise like a Phoenix to Jove."
But as in the world of realities so
with the world of the mummers-there
is but one Richelieu-Robert Mantell.
Mr.. MantelPs Richelieu is of a piece
with his other Characterization
brilliant with intellectually and per-
feet In presentation. Comedy, pathos,
cunning, diplomacy, fearlessness, gem
tleness--all these he puts into his
character so delleately, so subtly that
one sees the red-hatted man of the
fifteenth century and forgets the ac-
tor of the twentieth. In the delivery
of that immortal threat, Mantell was
superb last night. 1t was for that bit
or Is 1t more than bit-the audience
waited patiently, hopefully. And none
We're disappointed.
Eloquent hands are those of Miss
Marie Booth Russell. Some may
think she uses them bit too much,
