The Countess Of Flanders was by birth
a princess of the House OF Hohenzollern,
OF a branch probably older than that to
which the Kaiser belongs. She was born
at Berlin on November II, 1916. and was
married On April Is, 1867. to Prince Phi
lippe Leopold George, Count Of Flanders,
who died in 1905.
She was a talented artist and her en-
cravings and water colors have been
frequently exhibited. Despite her great
fortune, however. she spent little as an
a~t patron. She was economical by tenn
permanent simple in her taste and demo-
cratic in manner. Incidentally she was
extremely fond Of music
In her declining years the countess
suffered much from rheumatism. Part OF
her time she spent taking the cure at
Ouchy. Switzerland. While on the shores
OF Lake Geneva a constant companion
was Mrs. Barton, daughter OF the late
Sir Robert Peel.
Most OF her remaining time she passed
In her palace In tire Rue de la Regence,
Brussels There she delighted 70 enter
tain her ten grandchildren, the favorite
OF whom is Prince Charles, seconds son Of
King Albert, who succeeded 10 his grand
fathers title OF Count OF Flanders.

NEW FARCE AT IRVING PLACE.

The Irving Place Theatre stock COM
pany produced last night a new German
play, by Richard Wilde and c. G. Won
Negelein, entitled Der Austauschleut-
nant." It was described on the programme
as a farce, yet it possesses few fsrcical
qualities and lacks entirely the efferves-
cent farcical spirit. The action is slow
and the actors had 10 labor hard to get
any appearance OF humor across the
footlights The energy expended on the
piece was non-productlve, because the
parts offered were stereotyped and only
palely interesting. The cast was:

Judge c Phillips issued a temporary order and will hsar srgu- ments Friday. Whichever VIC ' the case is decided, it will be carried up to the supreme court for final adjudication.
 Senator Davis sets forth in his sp- plica ion that there is danger of an illegal election being held this fall.
 Such sn election would be very ex- peusive and would involve the stste in endless .rouhie. It has long been evldeIt that the only way 10 deter mine whether sn election can be he'd under the constitution is to lave the courts decIde, but heretofore all the oihceholders have fought shy of tsk- ing any step that might result in it. prevention. Senator Davis decided that be might as well take the plunge as anyone, since it must be done. He does not fear personal unpopulari,y as & result fer he feels that It is sbso. lutely necessary to determine whether an election can be legally held and the people recognize this.-Democrst
