Social Scandal Threatened.

Vienna, Dec. 21.-Social circles in
Budapest which, not without reason
is called the Paris of Hungary" are
greatly disturbed over Il disagreed
BILE affair, the final outcome of which
is still awaited with breathless ire
pidation. A ladies hairdresser
named Vigyazo, has been conducting
an organized campaign of blackmail
against ladies of the aristocracy
which appears to have been long
planned VigyaZO, a strikingly hand
some man of elegent appearance AM
polished manners, selected the bust
ness of a hairdresser for the sole
reason that it would bring him into
close connection with those circles
in which he hoped to find victims.
By degrees he became acquainted
with the intimate secrets of his pat
ronesses.
Thus finding himself in possession
of sufficient material, he forwarded
various Matchmaking letters. in one
declaring that he had entire know
ledge of a lady's meeting with her
chauffeur, in another giving exact
details of the lady's interviews with
an officer of the hussars, while 9TH
err letters of the same character con-
tanned scarcely yelled threats. The
price which he demanded for his 81
lence varied from 5000 to 5000
kronen. or even more An energetic
lady. wife of a millionaire, to whom
the blackmailer had written by mis-
take, informed the criminal authori-
ties, who arrested the man. 1t soon
became known that he had COM
municated to the police number of
compromising stories and threatened
in case of a trial, to divulge all the
scandalous secrets in his possession.
Shortly after his arrest the young
adyenturer, who came from an ex-
cellent and once wealthy family in
Vienna, committed suicide in his
cell. but even his tragic end has not
allayed the fear of the indiscreet vic
Tins of the hairdresser. They fear
that he has left compromising notes
AMI papers and that their secrets
may yet become public property in
some way.

Thelma Stanley and Lucille
Richardson Again in
Tolls of the Law.

The police Of Wenatchee had hi-
larious time last night. They cele-
brated approaching yuletide by cap
turing three blind pigs" The first
bootlegger was taken in tow at about
nine o'clock. He was doing flour
Shantytown. Name given at head
quarters was John Doe.
The next surprise party was in
honor of the we'll known soiled dove,
Thelma Stanley, sole survivor of the
"old school" on Columbia street.
She was taken in charge for running
saloon without license, this being
a dry unit, contrary to the city or
dance and against the peace and
dignity of the state of Washington.
On occasions of this kind, Thelma
usually maligns the whole police
force and county authorities. This
time she seemed quite docile. Per-
haps she is beginning to enjoy the
entertainment afforded by the city
Last of the social calls made by
the police during the evening was
on upper Yakima street where an
other famous character OF olden
days was lat home" to her friends,
Lucille Richardson, formerly motor
ious resident of the old Mission
House on the corner of Mission and
Orondo streets. 1t was burnt down
in the big fire year before last.
Lucille was selling to almost any
one who happened to be thirsty and
was willing to pay good price for
bad booze. She was quite tractable
and showed no inhospitality to the
blue coat guests Without any hesi-
tation she joined them on invitation
to make her abode for few days
at the Hotel Ferguson, a thorough
ly modern hostelry recently built on
county property and adjoining the
court house.
In some respects the police did not
get as much excitement and glory
as they have grown accustomed to
of late. Nobody drew Philippine
bolo knife; nobody was compelled to
change his clothing after the raids.
Everything went off as though it
were the most natural thing in the
world to make arrests for bootleg
ging every i've minutes.

to Uso Substitutes.
There are regions wherein the poor
err classes or peasantry eat little or no
bread. Baked loaves of bread are
practically unknown in many parts Of
southern Austria and Italy and
throughout the agricultural districts of
Roumania.
1t is said that in the village Of the
Obersteiermark, not far from Vienna,

being sterz, kind of porridge made
from ground beech nuts. taken at
breakfast with fresh or curdled milk,
at dinner with broth or fried lard and
with milk again for supper, This dish
Is also known, as Leiden and takes the
place Of bread not only in the Aus
TRAN district named, but in Carinthia
and in many parts of the Tyrol
In northern Italy the peasants affect
substitute for bread called polenta,
porridge made Of boiled grain. Po-
lenta is not, however. allowed to
"granulate." like Scotch porridge Or
like the Austrian sterZ. but is boiled
into a solid pudding, which is cut up
and portioned out with string. 1t Is
eaten cold as often as 1t is hot and is

A variation of polenta called mama

the poorer classes in Roumania. Ma

EXHIBITION
CAR IN FAR
EAST
G. N. Exhibition Car Draw
ing Large Crowds
in It's Tour.

F. w. Graham, western industrial
and immigration agent of the Great
Northern railroad. is in the city to-
day, arriving here this morning
from the west. He spent several
days last month at the United States
Land and Irrigation Congress IN
Chicago and afterwards caught the
exhibit car at West Manchester, In
diana, and spent one day with the
car. This is attracting a great deal
of attention everywhere it goes and
is drawing crowds of from five hun
dred to three thousand daily.
Mr.. Graham states that during the
day which he spent with the car,
fully five hundred people visited it.,
a number registering as desiring
further information of the west. The
car is handsomely equipped this
year and carries with it large ex-
hibit of the Wenatchee valley includ-
ing photographs. processed fruit,
and box and plate exhibits. The
Wenatchee valley furnished the lar
ger portion of the exhibit in the car
which is in charge of 0. A. Atwood
and A. C. Wilson This week it is
in Pennsylvania. Today it jumps
from Johnstown to Altoona. where
it will remain two days. 1t goes
from there to Tyrone. thence to
Huntington, thence to Lewiston, and
thence to MiffIin. A new schedule
is being arranged for after the hol-
idays.

Will Benefit from Land Show.

Mr. Graham spent some time at
the land show in Chicago. The Great
Northern exhibit at that place cost
approximately $1,000, but it was
money we'll spent and was crowded
from the opening until the closing
hour Expert exhibitors pronounced
it the finest in the building and a
large portion of the exhibits came
frcm the Wenatchee valley.
The closest competitor to the
Great Northern exhibit was from
Michigan, which in the past has
hoasted Of being great apple and
peach section. Mr.. Graham spent
some little time with those in charge
of the Michigan exhibit and learn
ed that the sections producing the
apples on exhibit were adjacent to
Lake Michigan. The land there is
selling from $50 to $3.50 per acre.
In the past it has been a great ap-
pie country, but on account of the
light soil the lana and productions
are retrograding, and fully ninety
per cent of the land in that section
is for sale and the owners are seek
ing to dispose of their holdings 10
try the new west which has sprung
into such prominence during the past
few years as a great apple section.
Tons Of literature were given out
at the land congress and Mr.. Graham
stated that there was a great inter-
est being evinced for the west. and
undoubtedly, the Wenatchee valley
will reap a great benefit.

ter method of work followed, he
smiled an enigmatical smile, and
said he had no orders to that eff

that the Seattle reservoir Is an ex-

it is, if some change Is not made,
the work may go indefinitely, as
things look now"

viewed by a Press reporter this
morning he said:
From the standpoint Of what

He has not yet finished the ex
