MANY HUR R A HIS
OVER PROSPECTS
Local Alumni of Virginia ane
v. P. I. Happy That Game
May Take Place.

Since the publication of Dr. Lam
beth's letter relative TO the position
occupied by the University of Virginia
in the Virginia Polytechnic Institute
Virginia athletic controversy many
expressions have been heard from the
men most interested-that is, tho
alumni of the two schools-relative to
the value of the game.
So far every expression OF opinion
has been favorable In fact, there is
jubilation in camp. The Joy is as much
at the fact that assurance is given that
all past hatred and dissensions have
been wiped out and that final action
VIII be taken without regard to pre-
vious prejudice. This in itself is re-
sarded as great victory for the
cause, and, 1t is believed, will result
ultimately in renewal of athletic re-
lattons between the two schools.
While 1t is impossible TO make an
accurate prediction as to whether the
game viii be played next year. it seems
reasonable to presume that it will for
the very good reason that both schools
nave now reached the reasonable stage
and are not blinded by mere prejudice
The student bodies at both Blacksburg
and Charlottesville are practically
unanimous for the contest. or course
one will hear head spout his
wrath from time to time, but 1t really
amounts to little. The safe and sane
men realize the value of the game.
from whatever standpoint viewed.
The very frank letter from DR.. Lam
peth puts an entirely new light on the
situation 1t shows that many who
thought that Virginia was occupying
an arrogant position were mistaken. 1t
also upset the opinion held that yir.
slnia was making more capital out OF
the 1905 game than was actually the
case. 't'e
Prospects are really bright for tho
same me question Of when the game
is to be played will be the next .noint
IN dispute. For this reason It Is deslr.
aple that Virginia take action at the
earnest possible moment. Both schools
usually have their schedules comnlete
early In the year. 1t should not he

You will distinctly feel your cold

leaving after taking the very first dose
1t is positive fact that Pape's Cold
Compound, taken every two hours, un-
til three consecutive doses are taken
will end the Grippe and break up the
most severe cold, either in the head
chest, back. stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most miser-

of the nose, mucous catarrhal dis

Take this harmless compound as

SHOT RECORD OF
WORLD IS BROKEN
Fort Baker Artillerymen Hit
Target 4 Out of 6 Times at
10000 Yards


Battery Spencer at Fort Baker, the
highest IL inch rifle battery in the
world, established the worlds record
last Thursday. The remarkable rec
ord Of four hits out of six shots on
target 80 by 60 feet 10000 yards dis
tant was made by the Sixty-first COM
pany, coast artillery corps, under the
command of Lieutenant Halstead p.
Councilman. But for the fact that the
tow line was shot away, causing the
target to drift, it Is thought that six
hits would have been made, as each
gunner fired a shot before the fact
was discovered. 1t is believed by the
officers at Fort Baker that when all
the facts are submitted to the chief of
artillery six hits will be allowed
The record was made under the most
difficult conditions. The powder used
had deteriorated SO that instead OF the
normal muzzle velocity of 2,25O feet
per second, only $40 feet per second
was developed, necessitating a COM
plete change in range calculation. The
distance of 10000 yards is the greatest
range that has ever been tried on the
Pacific coast
The Sixty-first company holds the ex-
ceptional record of the highest score
on a Is pound battery, five inch bat
terry and IL inch battery.

Romance of Old Portugal

The recent deposition of King Manuel of
Portugal and the events in the young kings
life that led up to It will no doubt bring back
to the minds Of some of the older residents
of the city the story of Elise Hensier the
Springfield girl who married king and be-
came the Countess Edla.
The king she married was Don Ferdinand
H. of Portugal. great grandfather OF King
Manuel Elise lived in Springfield about go
years ago. probably for about four years.
The Henslers humble people and
lived simply. The daughters. Elise and Louise,
were well received here and were given a
good musical education. especially Elise who
had quite remarkable voice. Sgnor Guidi
an Italian. at the time well known teacher
of the voice, took interest in Elise and 1t
was when Signor Guidi went to Boston that
the Hensiers went there. largely through his
influence. He believed that Elise had a fu-
ture as singer and wished her to be where
he could continue teaching her
Elise Hensler after her removal with her
family to Boston continued her studies She
was perseverant In her work and progressed SO
we'll that she not only appeared in concerts in
the large cities In this country. but also In Eu-
rope. where she sang before royalty. II WAS
while singing in Lisbon several years after the
death OF Queen Maria that King Ferdinand
heard her voice and felt the attraction that
led him to marry her.
Ferdinand was the tituar king of Portugal
having been the second husband of Queen
Maria II. of Portugal. Ferdinand married
Maria in 1886, when he was 90 The queen
died in 1853. and he was regent during the mi
norty Of his son, Pedro ", who was the IA
ther Of the assassnated King Carlos. the
grandfather OF the deposed King Manuel The
regency ended in 1856, and on June 10. 1869
he married Miss Hensler.
When the European powers decided the
time had come to restore Spain to a monarchy
following the overthrow OF the short republic
which existed from 1873 to 1875, considerable
pressure was brought to bear upon Ferdinand
to induce him to accept the vacant throne
But his wife could never be queen OF Spain
and 1t is possible that this fact alone Induced
him to refuse.
This absolute refusal on his part to accept
splendor Of royalty In exchange for the roman.
tic life that he was living with his morganatic
wife, had far-reaching consequences. The COM
plications and jealousies resultant on the at.
tempt to find king acceptable to all the pow
helped to bring on the Franco-Prussian
war. and Alsace and Lorraine went back to
Germany. whence they had been wrested BY
Napoleon Bonaparte.
In consequence OF these peculiar historical
facts which geographically practically changed
all western Europe, Elise Henser, Countess
Edla. became famous throughout the world as
1.-The woman who changed the map of Europe"
During the life of the king they lived In the
beautiful castle OF Cintra- 1t is certain that
their life was above reproach. In 1885 the
king died. and after that the countess lived IN
retirement In cottage near the castle
