Radical Peers Delighted.

The Radical peers were wild with de-

the resources OF the prerogative would be

New York November 25.-(Special.)-T opera season is in full swing, the last horse show ever to be held in Madison Square Garden has wound up in blaze of glory, everybody who is anybody Is in town again, and society has now settled down to the serious work of the winter.
 Weddings and debutante parties will for of the stage. The most interesting of the weddings in the near future is that which will make Miss Mildrd Sherman Lady Camoys. and which will permit the regilding of the Comoys' armorial bearings and the reno- walton of Stonor castle.
 It will be different from most of the weddings which have added beauty, vigor and American dollars to the British peer age, in that it will be as quiet as it can possibly be made and only close friends of the family will receive invitations.
 The horse show and the Camoys- s-Sher- man wedding have attracted an unusual number of European nobility to the city and society rejoices thereat.
 Among the titled folk already in our midst are Lord and Lady Decies, Marquis and Marquise Miguel Aguayo of Madrid I Spain Marquis and Marquise Alfred Dus- met of Paris. Baron and Baroness you Haspberg of Berlin; Lord and Lady Hind- lop of London, Baron Baldwinger of Paris, Lord Lascelles of London, Baron von Rooster of Berlin, Countess Mercati and children of Paris, Sir Edward and Lady

While MT Brett is now an honorable, he will succeed to the title of viscount on the death of his father. Miss Heckscher was introduced to so- eiety three years ago.

a few that you feel sorry for as they
don't look able to drink their measur-

our plasure is sitting around the
springs and watching the pretty
ladies drink and they seem to have
the same pleasure. Box ball and
cards are the only games for Willing

the benefits Of the drinks. One lady
gained four pounds and told me she
had taken five gallons which weigh
four pounds. So the water does i'm

MAN HUNT IN DORCHESTER.
Town Of st. George Excited by At

st. George, Aug. 15.-St. George
is greatly excited tonight over an at
tack upon a prominent woman in
her home. The sheriff has gone to
arrest negro who has been observed
to be lettering all day around the
place where the attack occurred. The
woman who was attacked is unable
to give any identification of the in
truder, but the suspected mans ac-

iff to decide to arrest him tonight.
The attack occurred about 1890
The intended victim. who is promi-

ened by a man who sized her by the
throat. She screamed for help and
he struck her several blows in the
mouth. Then, frightened by her calls
for aid he fled through the window.
When help arrived, the intended VIC
tim could give no description Of the
man. as it was very dark. She could
not even tell whether it was a white
man or a negro.

citizens of st. George were greatly
stirred. They at once made efforts
to locate the fugitive. Several men
in automobiles left for bloodhouds
with which to track down the in
truder.
So far there is only the merest
suspicion against the negro whom the
sheriff is seeking, but if there should
develop proof against him he may
be roughly dealt with if he falls into

You may be entirely right I'm

II they do adopt that policy they will
regret 1t sooner or later, for it must
inevitably produce a bitter feud with

can easily understand how a
man who favors Statewide prohibi-
ton might feel compelled by his
sense OF duty to oppose an anti-probi-
tltionist for nomination for any office
where the incumbent would exert a
direct influence over either the enact
ment Or the enforcement Of prohibi-
ton laws, but ] cannot conceive how
sensible man could be controlled en-
tirely by the Prohibition question in
electing a United States senator be-
cause not one question out of 100 pre-.
sented to a member of the United
States senate relates in the remotest
degree to the prohibition question.
1t would seem that no matter how
intense man might be on either
side of that question he could hardly
permit it to influence him as a man
to do work wholly unrelated to it."
