Socially in England the first week in
september has been a very notable one.
The King was shooting at Tulchan as
the guest OF one of the oldest of the
Jewish friends of his late father and of
himself. This gives the lie to the noto-
rious cartoon which some months ago
depicted certain well-known Jewish men
OF anairs looking on at a levee by King
George and condoling with each other in
being left out in the cold
! Mr.. Arthur Sassoon, who is the King s
host at Tulchan, belongs to a famous
Persian-Jewish family of Bombay. He
| Is more than seventy years of age, and,
curiously enough, has declined at diff
! ferent times titles which were offered
MIN by either of the two monarchs, whom
he has so often entertained. But titles
have come to the Sassoons all the same.
Sir Edward. of the well-known Bombay
branch Of that family, inherited baro-
netey. Another baronetcy went to Ir.
Jacob Sassoon, also OF Bombay, about
two years ago.
And above all, at the Gate to India"
there Is no figure better known than Sir
Sassoon David. the ex-sherif of Bonn
bay. Sassoon munificence is proverbial
In Bombay. The late King and the pres
ent both have been and are on excep-
tionaliy intimate terms with the aged
Lord Of TulchanA
The death of Lady GrenfelI was a
shock to every one, for she was still
young and full of life and energy. But
what the papers have not chronicled in
the career Of Lord GrenfelI is an occur
renee with quite a romantic element,
and that is that the first wife of his
lordship' who was "a daughter OF the
regiment" during the twelve years of
their married life failed to present her
husband with children. few years
after her death, Lord Grenfell was re-
warded for services in India with a
narony. He was then in the position of
all those other great living British
soldiers who have received peerages for
their military services, namely. of hav-
ing no male heirs to their honors. Lord
Grenfell. however, soon put an end 10
that state OF affairs
Although more than sixty and almost
before his peerage patent was engrossed
he welded Miss Majendie, and the fol-
lowing year a daughter was born, VINO,
the next year and in 1908. received baby
brothers to perpetuate Lord Grenfelrs
well-won honors.
All other peerages given to British
soldiers OF distinction" are doomed TO
extinction with the second generation,
FOR those peers are either unmarried or
childless.

According TO Mays story. he was
coming through Third street when he
heard a commotion in a saloon at Third
and Q streets. As he entered the door
he saw Fitzgerald knock another man
down. Upon telling Fitzgerald he was
under arrest, Fitzgerald turned and
fed through the rear door of the sa-
loon. May followed and chased him
into the Q street house.
AS the policeman entered the hallway
he was met by Kelly, who knocked him
down. May managed TO release himself
from Kelly and ran into the rear yard
after Fitzgerald The chase here led
over a high board fence. In the adjoin-
ing yard the officer was met by Fitzger-
aid, Kelly, and Broderick. Blows land
ing on the policeman felIed him, and
during the scrimmage his revolver fell
from his pocket. Broderick is alleged to
have grabbed for the weapon. but May
recovered it and placed Fitzgerald I'M
der arrest.
ROughs Threaten Him.
A crowd had collected by this time,
and as the policeman made his way with
his prisoner to the patrol box a number
of roughs in the mob threatened to re-
lease Fitzgerald. Then It was that May
drew his revolver and defied any one to
come near him.
Returning to the Q street house after
sending Fitzgerald to the station, May
arrested Kelly. sent him to the same
destination, and then went back and
arrested Broderick.

ELI wHITNEY's TROUBLE

ELI WHITNE1S TROUBLES.
Eli whitney invented the cot
ton gin in 1893. The new machine
created great excitement, and be-
fore he could complete his model
and secure his patent scoundrels
broke into his shop, stole his
ideas, and made other machines
along the same lines. Many RI
walls appeared. and he had to fight
infringements on all sides. In
iT95 his shop and all his ma
chimes and papers were burned.
This misfortune threw him into
bankruptcy. with a debt of $4,000
hanging over him. The first i'm
portant infringement suit went
against him. Several State legis-
latures with whom he had con-
tracts tried to nullify them In
all. he had more than sixty law
suits, many of which were de-
cIded against him. He struggled
against adverse circumstances
for fifteen years, and then gave II

II revolutionized the cotton indus

dollars to the revenues Of the
southern states.

SCHOOL DIRECTORS MEET
THIS PROVED To BE A LtVEL'
MEETING
a Number OF Important Matters
Weree Discussed BY Men
Interested

There was a very interesting meet
ing held Saturday in the county
court room, participated in by most
Of the school directors from over
The county. Fully a hundred were
present, many whose names are civ
en- below.
The object of the meeting was to
discuss several bills now before the
legislature regarding educational mat
ters, This county voted unanimously
to oppose the bills for a central Rur-
al high school, To teach domestic
science and agriculture in rural dis
triets and TO increase the number
of county superintendent.
The first is considered impractical
for the reason that, no matter
whore the Central Rural High School
was located, the pupils from some
parts of the county would have to
board while attending school. If their
parents cannot afford to board them
now in the towns so they may at
tend school they feel they cannot af-
ford it for the rural school and that
The additional taxes to maintain it
would become az burden and no real
good would be derived.
In the matter Of teaching domestic
science and agriculture, it was voted
down because there is not Il district
in the county that can afford the
additional expense. But very few
school buildings have room to spare
for arranging a small room for dom
este science instructions and $500 at
the very least estimate would be re-
CURED to make the start. Again
land would have to be purchased to
make the teaching of agriculture a
practical study. Even a second coun-
ty superintendent, who would be
paid 81, 900 per year, could not visit
the schools over the county more
than twice during their school year
and could not do justice to the work
that was costing the district such an
amount of money.
The sentiment was generally
against the bills and resolutions were
unanimously adopted to instruct our
senator and representatives to use
their influence against, and vote
against any such measure.
Also, believing the county get bet
ter results from examinations for
teachers held in the county, it was
voted to request our representatives
to frame a bill taking the examina-
tons out of the hands of the state
examiner and returning them to the
county superintendent.
This was a very enthusiastic meet
ing and shows that the people gener-
ally are taking the keenest interest
in educational matters and this is as
it should be for the good of our
schools.
