PARIS, Jan. 12.-Twenty-two
miles northeast of here, in a little
corner of fairyland itself. is the
Chateau de Baiincourt, where the
"Du Barry" of Belgium, the
Baroness Vaughan-"Queen Caro-
line." they cal lher-has hidden
herself from the world.
Beautiful as a picture, witty
and girlish, small wonder she
charmed King Leopold. And aKi-
ser Wilhelm, on hearing of the in
fatuation, sent special envoy to
Brussels for portrait of the
queen" Leopold autographed a
likeness and sent it on.
Yes" unused Wilhelm, critical
ly scanning each feature of the
kings favorite, Leopold has got
taste-he's a connoisseur!"
The Baroness Vaughan really
loved Leopold as any woman
should love her husband. She has
completely isolated herself to be
alone with her grief. With her
two children, the sons of the king
the tiny Duke de Tervueren,
aged, and the tot of Baron de
Ravenstein, aged 3-she even
shuts herself off from most of the
% servants of The palace.
At one end of grand salon, 80
feet square and with a high CELL
ing, there is huge oil portrait of
King Leopold ii. Before this can
dies are kept burning, night and
day, / am told, and the picture is
the woman's shrine.
1t seems to have been a true
love affair, with a powerful and
rich king, cruel and despised of
many, as the lover; a poor girl,
OF humble parentage, but pretty
and faithful, as the sweetheart.
However else they were with the
world, to each other there was al
ways tenderness.
It's an interesting but long trip
from Paris to the Chateau de Bal
incourt when one hasn't an auto
mobile. One must take the train
at the North railway station and
leave it few miles out, at VAL
moDdois. From here to Vallon-
goutard is what we know as a
"perkwater" line. Over this
stretch of track little train
makes five trips a day.
At Vallongoujard one must hire
a rig, for 1T is about five miles
to the chateau. A mile and
half from the palace one comes
to the village of Menouville, where
Leopold was as well known as any
of the old inha bitants who sit
about the corner grocery, good
American fashion. whiting cedar
sticks.
Queen Caroline's chateau is
dream. There are over 60 rooms.

Della Ellison, of Scranton, Pa,
seems to be the woman whose name
shall go down in history as the dis
coverer of the true secret of Beau
ty. For centuries past women have
realized that wrinkles not only
made them look much older than
they Were. but were also the
destroyer of their beauty and with
ceaseless efforts they have sought
to stay the hand of time, which rob-
bed them of this most valuable
charm.
Knowing that the homely woman
with deep lines and burrows must
fight an unequal battle with her
younger and better looking sister,
many resort to annoying and even
dangerous experiments trying to re-
ance. This new discovery, how
ever. will do away with all these
rash measures, as khe treatment is
harmless and simple. 1t is said that
aside from banishing wrinkles and
making the face plump that it is al
SO great aid to beauty, making the
skin soft and velvety and beauify-
ing the complexion. Many who have
followed Miss Ellison's advice look
from five to twenty years younger
and judging from the number of re-
plies she is receiving daily, people
are not slow at taking advantage
of her generous offer.
1t Games as a surprise that the
est little woman in Scranton when
our large cities are full of beauty
doctors and specialists who have
sought in vain for treatment that
would turn back the clock of time
and place the imprint of youth on
the fast fleeing footsteps of age,
but far more surprising Is the fact
that she Is to remain where she is.
In speaking of her discovery she
said, Yes l know there would be
many advantages in my going to
some of the large cities, but I have
made arrangements to give particu-
largs of my treatment Free to all
who write me, so that the women in
every city and town may have the
benefit of my discovery"
This statement shows that she is
both broad minded and generous,
and all who wish to Danish their
wrinkles and improve their COM
plexion should write her at once.
Her address is:
DELLA ELLISON, 1869 Burr Bldg,
Scranton, Pa.
Just state that you want partic-
ulars of her discovery and she will
send them in sealed envelope. free
of charge.

FEDERAL CHARTER
 BILL DISCUSSED

Washington, January 13.--Now that the mended by the President providing for a federal incorporation act have become known, there is a disposition on the part of many members of Congress to insist but amendments which will in their judg- ment be necessary to make 1t effective in dealings with great corporations. In- deed, 1t is believed that nothing short of tremendous administration influence will enact 1t into law.
 The need of forfeiture clause by which a corporation consistently violating the law can have it's charter revoked is declared to be absolutely necessary If cor
 Many congressional lawyers advocate compulsory instead of voluntary federal incorporation. They cite as sound the principle that if Congrass has constitu- tional power to grant voluntary charters to corporations doing an interstate busi- ness, it has power to require corporations doing such business to take a federal in- corporation, just as it has power to re- quire them to comply with the laws regu- lating interstate commerce.
 Among the questions that will come up for consideration and likely will provoke considerable discussion that relating to the effect of federal incorporation upon the right of states to control, and to tax, the property of such enterprises. This is a phase of the proposed law, it is said. that has received comparatively little attention.

MORE MONEY FOR
 COMMON SCHOOLS

Jackson. Miss. January 13.-(Special.) The appropriations committee has passed favorably on the Burkitt common school bill, which carries an appropriation of s1,5O0, 600, independent or the poll taxes which are retained in the county where collected.
 This means that the common schools of the state will have s250.0O0 more per year hereafter, and that the per capita, based on the present census of educable children, will be s1.99 instead of SLID as last year. This action on the part of the committee has brought letter from MT. s. A. Morrison of Grenada, chairman of the committee, who Is desperately sick, and has not been present this session, in which he congratulates the committee on the fact that 1t faced a deficit of s9650OO two years ago and now has small sur plus in sight He attributes that to the stern and sturdy work of the committee. and says that while they reaped nothing but abuse for their conscientious work, they now see the benefit, in no uncertain way, of their labors."
 MT. Morrison states that he will be present next week and if he Is that means one more vote for Vardaman.

EDITOR IS LOST IN WILDS OF JACKSON

Jackson, Miss, January 13.-(Special.)- A pretty good story is told on Colonel Walter Cain, editorial writer on the Memphis Scimitar, who came down to Jackson at the beginning of the legisla- tive session and remained two or three days till he got the senatorial race start ed, and then, during a great downpour of rain, shook the dust of Jackson off his feet, hied himself back to Memphis and has been telling his readers all about 1t ever since.
 But Colonel Cain has neglected to tell about how he got lost in the city of Jackson. He need not be ashamed of that, as a great many folks from subur- ban towns and the rural districts get lost here and appeal to the big police men for direction. But Cain thought he could find his way from the depot to the Edwards house alone. He didn't know it was only 100 feet from the depot, and having a big collar box to lug about. thought the best thing to do was to hire a cab which he did, directing the 'burr-head" driver to take him to the Edwards. Cabbie was on to his job, and told Colonel Cain it would cost him sl.
 The coin was passed over and the dis tinguished visitor was hauled around the block three or four times and dumped out finally in front of the Edwards, at least 100 feet from his starting point. the depot Cain found out how he had been worked but he never cf1irpod.

CRAWFORD WONDERED
When He Saw His Portrait on One of
 the Doors of the Capitol.

One of the best known guides in the capitol at Washington used to be Col. Jasper E. Snow, formerly Kansas City lawyer, who always sat in repub- lican conventions and voted for Blaine as long as there was Blaine to vote for. Colonel Snow used to tell this little story of the late Marion Craw- ford.
 He had met Mr. Crawford in Flor ence, Italy. and when the novelist came to Washington Colonel Snow was the first person who showed him the doors made by the novelist's father, Thomas Crawford. These are the Senate bronze doors on the eastern portico. They represent scenes connected with the Revolution and the founding of the government

PENALTIES FOLLOW
 PRISON INQUIRY

Atlanta, January 13.-The council com- mittee which has been Investigating the charges of cruelty and abuses at the city stockade or prison, reported to the coun- cil this evening that many of the asser- tons were substantiated. Sweeping changes were recommended.
 The report begins with the assertion that without attempting to fix the blame, conditions at the stockade are very bad The attempt to operate the prison as a revenue producing one is as- serted to be responsible, each admins tration trying to make more money than It's predecessor. This resulted In the per nicious custom of resentencing prisoners for infractions of prison rules.
 The food is pronounced wholesome, but it's preparation filthy. The sanitary con ditions are declared vile.
 The charge that prisoners were shackled so that their clothing could not be taken off for the term of their sentence, some times 40 days, was sustained. Whipping was declared necessary only in extreme cases The iron rings to which young women were hanged by the wrists for hours were declared less brutal than whipping. unless the one suspended were of small statue"
 Money from the sale of vegetables was misappropriated. the committee found, but Commissioner of Public Works Col Her had no knowledge of this. He was held responsible for conditions, how ever, although 1t was urged In extenua- tion that he had too much to do. He was only part of a vicious system TOT which all of us are responsible.
 The report adds that a separation of the department from that of public works is recommended and generous ap- propriations to remedy the vile sanitary conditions are urged.
 The report of the committee follows close upon the conviction of Superintend- ent vining and Guard Cornett or the stockade, who were charged with cruelty beating a negro prisoner The mon were sentenced today to pay fine of sl5o and s10O respectively, or to serve six months in jail.

LABOR PREPARES
 FOR ELECTIONS

Washington, January 13.-Labor is pre- paring to take an active part in the com ing congressional election. All organi- zations affiliated with the American Fed eration of Labor are to be urged to pre- pare themselves for their coming fight, and a resolution recommending such &C., ton was adopted by the executive coun- ell of the federation, now in session here. The feeling of the members of the coun- cfl was that labor should make itself felt in shaping the legislation of the country.
 A number of bills affecting labor, there fore, were considered at today's session of the council. Endorsement was given to the eight-hour bill introduced by Rep resentatiye Gardner of Massachusetts; also to his bill to regulate convict la bor. and to the bill of MT. Spight of Mis- sissippi to protect the rights and inter ests of seamen.
 In regard to the employers liability and vorkmen's compensation bills. it was de- cided to insist upon billa which will elim- 1nate the old conception of assumption oi rislxs, contributory negligence, fellow ser want and the waiver of rights, and that the working man be placed in the same poeftion as any other citizen.
