PROUD DUCHESS IS
INUNDATED

LONDON, June "a - The Duchess
# Westminster has come into hu-
initiating conflict with the royal
court by asking her guests to ap-
pear in full court dress at the royal
ball she is to give in her town resi-
dence. Grosvenor house. next Tues
day
Only the king himself has the
privilege Of demanding full court
dress, as the duchess was informed
Full court costume, this functionary
reminded her, is never worn at any
private party.
Duchess Sutherland. too, earned
royalty's frown by the mismanage-
ment of her royal ball last Monday
night at Stafford house. The crowd
there was so great that everything
fell into utter confusion.
No proper arrangement had been
made for looking individually after
the important reign royalties. Thus
it happened that the Crown Princess
of Germany found herself wandering
around alone, lost in the crowd and
unable to get her carriage. She wait
ed half an hour behind pillar in the
hall before the crown prince, who
had gone into the garden, managed
to find his way back to her. By that
time the crown princess was in such
fury that the best she could do
was to nod stiffly to her flushed and
astonished hostess, who had come
smilingly cut to bid her good-by.

the thief who had been pilfering

son found the Benson boy lying in
the door yard suffering from gun

was summoned, but it was four or
five hours before doctor could be
reached. 1t was deemed advisable to

Linderfeldt, who made quite a
name for himself, in the Mexican
struggle, is now in Denver. He is
former member of the Colorado Ma
tional guard, and recently talked for
several hours to a number Of mill
tia officers at the state house.
The green onions played promi-
nent part in the closing days of the
rebellion. While the federals were
holding the town Of Juarez, two of
the members Of Linderfeldt's Ameri-
can legion. which was made up al
most entirely of ex-soldiers of vari
GUS armies, planned a raid on a
Chinaman's garden.
The two men, who came to Cap
tain Linderfeldt one day when Ma
dero's entire command was ready
for anything after the weeks Of
waiting, were former American
bluejacket named Moriarity, and an
Englishman named Morgan, who had
served through the Boer war. They
explained to the commander of the
American brigade that Chinaman
had a garden in which some of the
finest young onions imaginable grew.
This garden was located just on
the outskirts of Juarez. and. having
obtained the consent OF the COM
mander, the redoubtable pair set
out. On the way they picked up
several Mexicans, who followed to
see what would happen and an In
dian chief, who, with his tribe, was
one of the effective fighting forces
in Madero's motley command.
