The New Sleeves.

1t is the popularity of the fichu
which is responsible for the new
shoulder line or, rather, armhole that
no one likes and yet which every one
is evidently going to wear. It is the
ugliest kind and comes with bad grace
after the graceful peasant sleeve, with
its charming simplicity.
The shoulder line runs down over
the arm for three inches, and the
sleeve is gathered there into an arm
hole that is ungainly in its size even
if nothing else made it ugly. 1t is
said to be difficult to fit.
Even the lingerie waists have long
sleeves. perceptibly larger than for
years, and are gathered intos a tight
fitting cuff at the wrist and finished
with two inch plated ruffie of lace
or lace edged material.

The 600 Coos in Shreveport.


Mansfield Enterprise: One of the
greatest rallies ever held in Louis
lana was at the Grand Opera House
in Shreveport last night when the
Good Government League held q
meeting in behalf of Hall and Guey-
dan and pure government and hon
est elections. Besides Hall and
Gueydan, Congressman puid spoke,
and it was feast for the gods to
hear such pure and unaduIterated
Democratic doctrine, after the slang
and billingsgate recently dispensed
by Truthful Jared" The crowd
was immense, the enthusiasm I'M
bounded, and confidence in victory
ruled supreme. The meeting was
called to order by Hon. L. e. Thorn
as, and John Wilkinson presided,
while many of the most distin-
guished Democrats in the State oc-
cupied seats o nthe platform. We
were glad to see almost all the De-
Soto parish contingent that has
strayed away to Caddo are in line
for Hall, which is true to the .tradi-
tons that they imbibed in their ear
ly home training, where patriotism
and fidelity to the right and against
The wrong, always did prevail A few
Of them may have strayed into the
Aswell camp, but that is not very
bad, as they will be for Hall after
January p next and perhaps sooner.

The Commissioners Still Contend
That Their Proposed Lighting
Contract Is a Good One.

| 10 the Public: We wish to reiter-
late what we stated some weeks ago
il reference to the proposed light
| ing contract
Now that the bond issue has failed,
which has decided the question of
mot building light plant within the
ILear future. makes the confirmation
OF this lighting contract more neces-
s&ry and important to the public
than ever. We feel that the con
tract should be ratified on tonor-
rows election for the following rea-
sons:
1t saves $4,000 per annum on an
average for six years, or $4,000 for
the life of the contract.
1t will enable he city to place 60
or more street lights where most
needed, and principally in the sub
urbs Of our rapidly growing city.
Under the proposed contract we
will have modern and up-to-date
lights as against the old lights.
which have been discarded in up
to- date cities.
These concessions could not be
had for a less term than six years.
as the expense Of installing the
modern lights would be great.
In conclusion, will stale the pro-
posed contract has had our most
careful consideration and investiga-
|tion, and believe The best interests
|Of the city will be conserved by the
acceptance of this contract at to-
mCrroW's election.

supposed to be secret chamber, ac-

Earl of Strathmore, the heir apparent

Der is supposed to have been, centuries
ago, the repository Of a grim family
scandal, the nature of which could
only whispered even in those wild
days.
There is in Poulton Old Hall a mys-
terious locked room which has never
been opened except by representa-
tive of the Green family. The hall and
its lands have sometimes been let, but
the Green family have always retain
ed possession of this mysterious room,
which is supposed to contain several
relics and other family treasures. 1t is
said that the last tenant, a prominent
Mersey shipowner, would have given
them an increased rent for it If he
could have had access TO 1t or could
have cleared away the mysterious con-
tents. but the owners refused to give
up possession, and so the tenant left
There is very similar tradition at
Neither Hall. the Cumberland seat Of
the Senhouse family. Here, as at
Glamis castle, the position of the Sc
cret chamber is known only to the
heir-at-law and the family solicitor.
The room, It is understood, has no
window and up till now has not been
located by any one net in possession Of
the key to the mystery.
A tragic interest attaches to the
ruins of Minister Lowell house, In Ok
fordshire. While it was tenanted by
a farmer a concealed vault was dis
covered. and in 1t was the perfect
skeleton of Lord Lovel, seated at a
table on which was lying an open
prayer book. There were some jars
and barrels which had contained food,
sufficient, no doubt, to last some
weeks; but, the mansion having fallen
into the hands of King Henry VII,
the prisoner was unable TO regain his
liberty. The discovery cleared up
mystery which had surrounded hts
fate for nearly two centuries.-Pear

NEW MOVE In WILL CASE.
Another Win Made by Late Mrs. Ole
Bull Filed for Probate.

Alfred. Me-, Nov. 10--A new phase
has been injected into the famous Bull
will case, which it was supposed had
been settled by an agreement several
weeks ago, by the filing for probate
here of u will made by Mrs. Sara G.
Bull on June 2, 1902 The will was filed
By Charles X. Cobb of Boston, repre-
senting the surviving executors named
therein, who are Joseph G. Thorp or
Cambridge, brother of the deceased Wild
ow OF Ole Bull, the Norwegian yiolinist,
and Joseph Macleod of Stone Ridge,
N. Y.
The will is in the handwriting of Mrs.
Bull and covers seven pages. Mrs. Olea
Bull Vaughan, her daughter, who died
on the day the settlement was approved
by the probate court, was the principal
beneficiary named in the will. Mr.. Thorp
was given a small legacy. DR.. Bose and
Margaret Noble, whose names became
prominent in the contest on the more
recently dated win and eodicil through
their connection with Mrs. Bull in the
strange Hindu beliefs, also were mem
toned for small amounts.
Mrs. Vaughan was named as one OF
the three executors. The witnesses to
the will were Emma L. Stead, Mary
Flame Stead and 0ctavius Beatty. The
will comes mp on December for pro-
batting
There is much speculation here as to
just what the latest move in this case
means, as it was supposed the last chap
ter had been ended. By some it is
viewed as a reopening of the contest
for the 100000 property. Mr.. Cobb was
senior counsel for the executors of the
viii that was first offered for probate.

PRINCESS HAS
NO MOTHER
In the Eyes Of the French Law,
Says Judge
WHO RULES IN THE CASE
Says Maternity Of Ex-wife of Prince
de Broglie Has No status-She
Says She'll Whip

WHO RULES IN THE CASE

Paris, Nov ll.-That the little Fran
co-American princess, Jasmonde Estelle
Alexander de Broglie, daughter Of the
divorced Princess Robert de Broglie, who
was Estelle Alexander, California con
cert hall singer, has no mother in the
eyes Of the law is the decision handed
down by Judge Monier of the tribunal
Of the Seine. Thus the seven-year'old
princess is legally not the daughter OF
her own mother, but, by the same de-
cision, is very much her fathers daugh-
ter-a decision which the mother will
fight to the end.
The decision annuls the eX.Princess
de Broglie's recognition Of her own child
and is granted at the request Of her for
mer husband. Prince De Broglie recog-
nized the baby as his on July 2, 1904,
eight days after her birth and before
a divorce was granted Estelle Alexander
from Sydney b. Welt, her first husband.
This recognition still holds good.
Little Jasmonde, although legally de-
prved Of her mother, remains a princess
OF the great house Of De Broglie,
Estelle Alexander arrived in Paris yes
terday After the decision she declared
natures law was higher than the code
of Napoleon, and engaged lawyer,
Charles Philippe to take the case to a
higher court
She threatened to whip all the De
Broglies in France personally if the ma
ternity OF her own child was not admit
ted. The former Princess Estelle is now

Prince Robert de Broglie had just been
divorced from his first wife when he
married Miss Alexander. The first Prin-
cess Robert was the Baroness des Landes,
who herself had just been divorced when
she eloped with the prince. They lived
together only a few months.
Then Prince Robert met the beautiful
singer fed to Chicago and married her
When the news reached France, Prince
Robert was disinherited, but that trou-
bled him net at all. He and his wife
went into vaudeville and toured the
United States, she singing and he con-
Quoting the orchestra. They added to
their act by putting their child in a
stage box each night and training her to
call Mamma" when the princess APP
peared.
Prince Roberts father began annul-
ment proceedings on the ground that the
marriage had been celebrated in Amer
lea and had not complied with the
French law. The annulment action
failed, however, and the princess sued
for divorce, which was granted in May,
1909.
