RRAGANZA DAGGER IS FOUND
Portuguese Officials Recover $4,000
Weapon, Missing Two Years
Sought by American.

Lisbon, Portugal.-The famous dag
ger Of the dukes of Braganza, long CO
veted by wealthy American collectors,
has been returned to the state as mys-
teriously as it disappeared from the
royal palace of Necessidades on the
night of October 4, 1910, when King
Manuel fed from his castle to find ref
uge on British shores.
The weapon, studded with precious
stones and bearing Craftsmanship at
tributed to Benvenuto Cellini, is esti-
mated to be worth $4,000. Many for
eigners have sought to purchase it,
romantic tales associated with the
blade having added historic worth to
its intrinsic value.
At the time of the revolution the
Republican leaders visited the desert
ed palace and took possession Of all
the jewels and works of art that the
royal family had left behind. The dag
ger and some other valuables, how
ever, failed to find their way into the
hands Of the new authorities.
Some time ago the government de-
cided that all the furniture, jewels
and other property seized at the pal
aces, but which belonged to the fallen
monarch and mis- mother, Queen Anne
lie, should be returned to them in
London, and the old inventory books
of the Braganza family are being ex-
amined to separate what belongs right,
fully to the royal family from what
is considered as the property of the
republic. Recently the dagger was
secretly placed in the letter box of the
official who is conducting the inven'
tory. There was nothing to indicate
by whom it had been restored

Some Expenses Not Put Down In the
Books Are Disclosed by Wife of '
Hotel Manager.

New York.-Every now and then
one learns something new Of the New
YORK hotels. Mrs. Max Thompson,
wife of the assistant manager of a
Gotham hotel, is entitled to the graft.
tude OF the public for letting in lit
Tie light upon the duties and emolu-
ments of the hotel managers-even If
she did do the letting in because, ac-
cording to her husband, some dispute
concerning fuzzy poodle had risen
between them. In her petition for ali
mony Mrs. Thompson alleges that her
husbands income is $S,400 annually
He is paid $500 for his services;
S6o0 as agent for a champagne; $72O
for certain unnamed services perform
ed for hotels In Paris, Berlin and Lon
don and $1,000 by steamship lines for
procuring certain business for them.
That happens to figure up to $4,000
year. but the difference may be set
down to the difficulty which ladies no
torlously experienced in dealing with
ar1thmetical facts. It also happens
that she does not state all the facts
II the facts In Mr.. Thompson's case
coincide with the facts In the other
hotel officials. For example, the as
sistant manager of the hotel Is allow
ed his rooms and a certain specified
sum daily in the dining-rooms. The
discreet pushing of brand of cigars
Is always worth something. One bar
tender in one of the great hotels ad
mittedly received $40 day for push
ing certain whisky. No doubt his
immediate superiors may have prof
tied slightly by the same brand. The
carriage callers, head porters, stew
ards, chefs, detectives, laundry chiefs
head waiters-every other employe in
a position of even modified authority
about hotel-always are able to ado
to their income by certain other side
incomes. No doubt they are sometimes
moved by sheer gratitude to share
such gratuities with the men who
have the power of discharge over
them. Il will take any position Of re
sponsibility whatever in any one OIL

Beardsley, soon after his arrival at
the Lindstedt home, suggested that
he and the young woman go for a
stroll. Her brother offered his auto.
This was accepted, and the couple
drove off,
They returned about one o'clock In
the afternoon. DR.. and Mrs. Linstedt
were at home together, and, leading
Beardsley up to them, the girl said:

sPRING-RICE NEW BRITISH AMBASSADOR

1t is said Sir Cecil Spring-Rice,
the new British ambassador at Wash
ington, like his predecessor, Mr..
Bryce, believes the Panama canal
problem is soluble, and that he is
imbued with pronounced American
sympathies.
Moreover, he was the principal
lieutenant of his chief, the late Lord
Pauncefote, In the~negotiation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, on the sub
ject of the Panama canal, the in
depreciation of which constitutes the
basis of the differences which have
lately arisen. Indeed, he is generally
understood to have drafted the
greater part, if not the whole, of that
instrument
His appointment, therefore, is
particularly appropriate, and it is
certain that the same diplomat who
helped to negotiate the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty in the place of the objec-
tionable Clayton Bulwer agreement,

QUEEN D0Ns APRON; LABORs FOR POOR

The busiest of small gathering
of workers who were occupied the
other day at the Imperial institute
in unpacking, sorting and repacking
many thousands of useful winter
garments for the poor was Queen
Mary. 1t was shortly after noon
when her majesty arrived, and it was
not until nearly 4 o'clock that the
royal carriage arrived to take her
back to buckingham palace.
Throughout the whole of this
time, with only short interval for
little lunch at 1:30 o'clock, the
queen, assisted by her ladies in wait
ing, Lady Bertha Dawkins and Lady
Katherine Coke, and a few priv
legged gentlewomen, together with
several old and trusted royal serv-
ants, was supervising this labor of
love for the poor.
In setting this example to the
women of England her majesty was
no mere figurehead. She inspected

PASSING OF UNIQUE UNCLE JOE CANNON

The defeat of Uncle Joe Cannon
for reelection will remove from Con
gress one of the most picturesque
characters in the last half century Of
American politics. whatever storms
may have arisen over Mr. Cannons
official acts and political opieions,
and they have been many in recent
years, nobody ever attempted to dis
pute the fact that Uncle Joe has
stood alone, unique figure in the
life of the national capital.
Able, forceful, born fighter and
one of the homeliest and most low
able of men, the passing of Uncle
Joe Cannon and his inseparable CT
gar win leave a void at least for
folks who thought they could see in
him the typical rough and ready
American politician of earlier days
When the former speaker closes
his public career on March 4, 1913,
he will have served longer as men,
Der of the house of representatives
than any other man. 1t will have

TO BEAUT|FY PARIS
Project Outlines Reforms Esti-
mated to Cost $40, 900, 900.
Ten Million to Be Spent for EnIara-
Ing and Improving Water Supply,
100000 in Precautions
Against Consumption.

Paris.-"To live is the first neces-
sity, and for such city as Paris to
live is to develop, and beautify it.
SELF" were the words used by the
project of the Seine, NJ. Delaney, in
calling on the Paris municipal council
recently to sanction a further loan to
enable the authorities to spend anoth-
er s49,0O0,000 on the city's needs.
The largest part of this amount will,
when borrowed. be applied to realize
the colossal scheme of hygiene and
anti-tuberculosis reforms on which
Project Delaney has been engaged
for some time.
In connection with this scheme it is
proposed to spend $10,000,000 for en-
larging and improving the water sup
ply. 100000 in precautions against
the consumption scourge already
spent over $4,0G0,000 for keeping the
roadways cleaner and in better
state of repair, 100000 for rebuild
ing and enlarging the slaughter
houses, and $1,00o,000 for improve
ments in public hospitals.
In addition to this program, no less
than $24,000,000 will be applied to
opening new streets and widening ex-
listing ones, to solve the traffic prob
lem, which Is still the gravest before
the city authorities; $2,400,000 for
schoolhouses; $2,2OO,OOO for municipal
buildings. and 100000 for walks and
paintings.
These operations, it is thought,
form a minimum necessary to keep
Paris in a condition worthy OF its py-
sition among the capitals of the world.
