Henri had already tried his best to
persuade her to surrender her claims,
but profound silence was the only
thing he met. Growing desperate he
decided to go to Mexico City and
plead with the marquise in person,
but this, too, has proven to be in
vain. The only avenue now open to
the marquis is to bring suit for di-
vorce in the French courts. Before
he has succeeded in getting his lib
erty in this manner he will not be
able to separate the claim of the
marquise from his inheritance. Law
yers, whom the marquis have consult
ed, say that it will take at least five
years to bring the case to a conclu-
sion and that a great deal of money
will go to cover the costs of the suit,
the marquise having, according to
French and Mexican law, the privi-
lege of paying all costs from the in
heritance of Alfred Henri To make
matters worse his father, the Marquis
de Hericourt, has taken unto himself
another wife, a girl of some twenty
summers.

MARQUIS IS IN A BAD FIX
His Wife Worth 100000 and Hi
Father a Millionaire, Cannot
Meet His Board Bill.
CHerald Specially

San Antonio, Texas, Aug MAR
quis Alfred Henry Schwab de Casa
nova, a French noble, is in a tight
fix. Although he recently inherited
the sum of 100000 from his mother,
and his father, the Marquis Paul Ed
ward Schwab de Hericourt, is worth
something like $15,000000, he may
have difficulties during the next five
years to meet his board bills. The
marquis troubles are all due to his
having married against the wish of
his father young Cuban girl, now
the Marquise Carmen Junco, and
having after short period of mar
ried bliss deserted her in New York
City. The mother of the marquis did
not blame her son to any extent for
having married the pretty Cuban and
prior to her death she provided the
young couple with an inheritance of
100000, STIMULATING, however, that
the marquise should have certain au-
thority in the disposition of the
money. On this wise provision the
plans of the marquis were wrecked.

Dallas, Texas, July 30.-Two men
were killed in Dallas this afternoon,
one by shooting and the other by
cutting, the killings occurring within
half an hour of each other, but in
different sections of the city.
The unwritten law may enter into
each as a defense.
Jack Harris, an eXpressman, was
killed, and Frank Platt, who worked
for him, is under arrest, as the result
of a shooting, on Main street.

in an East Dallas saloon. Ellis and
Tombstone are prosperous Dallas
county farmers.
Platt boarded at Harris house, and
claims that the latter was advancing
on him with knife when he shot
him through the. head with large
caliber revolver.
Touchstone says Ellis, who was
charged with an attempt at criminal
assault, has endeavored to place the
blame on Touchstones 17-year-old
son.
Witnesses say that Touchstone was
thrown to the ground and that Ellis
had shot him through the shoulder
when the PROSTATE man pulled his
knife and slashed Ellis to death.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK
System VIII Be Inaugurated This Fall
But There Is Not Much Enthu-
siasm Over the Idea.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-The
preliminaries of the Inauguration of
the postal savings bank system do
not indicate any large amount of en-
enthusiasm over the idea. These pre-
liminaries consist for the most part
of applications Of banks to be desig-
mated as repositories and of post
masters to have their offices appoint
ed to receive the savings. More
banks have asked for recognition
than postoffices. In some states hav-
ing large number of postoffices sur
prisingly little attention is given the
new enterprise, and but few post
offices have essayed to venture to
promote the system. Two reasons
are given for this One is that the
average postmaster does not know or
does not care about the law. Not for
publication, but as evidence of
shrewd discernment, these at this
end of the business having to do with
these applications, intimate that ig-
norance is mainly responsible for the
dearth of applications from the post
masters. Few of them, it is assumed,
have mastered the details of the law,
and many who have studied it have
decided that as the government has
neglected to sly that they are to
IL Gov J,
service, they do not care to bother |
with the work and the responsibility. |
Postmaster General Hitchcock, be-
fore he left for Europe, did not ap-
pear to have any definite ideas about
the organization, and it is not be-
lieved that it can get under way,
even with the first step, until the
middle of autumn.
The statistics to date touching the
interest in the new law, respectively,
of the postmasters and the bankers
are diverting at least.
In 40 states out of the 46 only 271
postoffices are represented by their
postmasterS as making applications
to be authorized to receive savings.
In Al states bankers to the number
of 622 make applications to have
their institutions designated as de-
positories
The greatest number of postoffices

ing 80, and also the greatest number
of banks asking to be made deposit
tories-S6. Her neighbor, New York,
is comparatively Indifferent, having
only 20 postoffices and 6 banks ap-
plying. The middle western states
may be said to have come up stronger
than any other region, the figures for

Illinois, postoffices 81, banks "a.

negligent of their opportunities.
