MALET'S DARING PLOT.
It's Success Might Have Made Him
Master of Paris.


A bold scheme was that engineered
by Malet, a Frenchman. Malet had
been a republican general, was ruined
by the rise of Napoleon. betook himself
to plotting, was arrested and finally
executed.
During the emperor's absence in Rus
sia In 1912 Malet escaped one night
from his prison, obtained a generals
uniform and with an accomplice
dressed as an aid-de-camp made his
way to the prison of La Force, where
the unsuspecting governor released on
his command two other ex-republic
ans, Generals Laborie and Guidal, pris~
oners on like charge to his own.
Together they proceeded to neigh

Everybody obeyed Malet implicitly,
even the prefect of the Seine. and he

He was arrested after a scuffle, the
plot was unraveled. and in due course
Malet. with twenty-three of his abet

In terse and comprehensive report
Miss Mabel Boardman at the annual
meeting Of the District of Columbia

the work of the society in all parts of
the world during the last year Miss
Boardman summarized what was ac-
compliShed at the international Red
Cross conference last May. at which
time delegates from every corner of
the globe were present.
"The money sent to the Balkan
states" said Miss Boardman, will be
used for the Turks as well as the
Christians The Red Cross does not
limit its work on account of the creed
or race of the injured"
She said. judging by reports from
the scene, that there are at least 100,-
600 persons sick and wounded who
need the aid of the Red Cross or Il
similar organization. Fourteen thou
sand of these are in Constantinople
and about 10000 in Servia. In Turkey
the Red Cross works in conjunction
with the Red Crescent, a similar so
ciety.
One of the hardest propositions be
fore the Red Cross in the war zone is
to combat the spread of disease which
so often follows in the wake of bat
ties. Miss Boardman also referred to
the work of the Red Cross at the time
Of the Titanic disaster, the Mississippi

THE HAT PINNACLE
(SEE THE P0INT?)
OF WOMAN'S POWER.

If it weren't for the hatpin I'd take off
da Hustled Harper Before Convention OF
National Woman Suffrage Association al
Ah lady. there's the rub!
You are woman: you
Instinctively hold back.
As women always do
When face to face with danger
Or what may be unknown
And leave to some one stronger
What should be his alone.
They claim that intuition
lmpels all womankind,
And yet there is an illness
In every woman's mind.
And what are hatpins, lady.
That they should block the way
To any womans progress
Along new paths today?
They're nothing. simply nothing.
And yet they indicate
The instinct of the woman
To doubt and hesitate.
Man wears no hatpins, lady.
And when he throws his hat
He never thinks of hatpins
Or anything like that.
But bangs into the battle
As never woman would
And takes the very longest
Chance on making good.
That's why it is, dear lady.
That women do not stack
Up largely as the men do:
Their hatpins hold them back.
They have not reached the limit,
But maybe some day when
They change the female instinct
They'll wear their hats like men.
What?

GOOD Bills we're

SPEAKER ASSERTs,HOUSE PASSED MEAS
URES TO AID PEOPLE and THAT TAFT
WOULD NOT APPROVE Them

Bar Harbor, Me, Aug 30.-Champ
Clark, Speaker of the House OF Re-
presentatives delivered a speech here
today which was in part as follows:
Under the rules Of the democratic
party Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
and Governor Thomas R. Marshall of
Indiana, were, at the Baltimore con-
vention nominated as our standard
bearers in the impending contest.
They are men of high character and
Democrats are united in support. This
is as it should be for the chief work
in hand is to rescue the government
from Republican mal-administration.
I'VE have recently witnessed at
Washington a spectacle OF a democra'
tic house passing good bills-bills
which would have greatly reduced the
high cost of living and which would
have gone far towards relieving the
people of tie burden of heavy taxes
and of a republican president vetoing
these bills as fast as they reached
him.
so far in this campaign the two
political criticisms leveled against
Governor Wilson are: /. That he
has had little experience in public
life; 2, that his opinions on certain
subjects have changed in the lapse
OF time. AS to the latter the ques-
tion is not what Governor Wilson or
any other man thought 20 or 10 or 5
years ago, but what he thinks now.
We are acting in the living present,
for people now in this country and
for the millions yet to be-not crop.

Prince Who Shot Himself for Love
of American HeireSs May Recover
Kinsman of Pope Innocent XII.
Could Not Win Miss
Dukes Hand.

PARIS. July 5.-Physicians attend
ing Prince Ludovic P~inafelli d'Ara-
gon, who shot himself in despair on
realizing the futility of his suit for
the hand of Miss Mary Duke, niece
of ]. B. Duke, of the American To-
bacco Company, expressed hope today
that the princes wound is not mortal.
Apart from the sorrow felt and the
shock to his friends and relatives,
the princes attempt to kill himselt
will probably ause a postponement
of the wedding of Miss Patricia
Burke, of Los Angeles, to his kins-
man, the Marquis de Luensanta. This
wedding had been delayed already
because of the failure of the arrival
of certain papers from Spain. A fur
ther postponement is considered like
ly. The prince was to have been
a witness to the ceremony.
The princes attempt has caused a
sensation here because he is connect
ed by blood with the princely and
ducal families of Pignatelli of italy,
Aragon of Spain, and La Rochefou-
cauld of France.
The vatican is gravely concerned.
Pope Innocent XII. belonged to
the Pignatelli family, which dates
back to Lucio Pignatelli, constable
of Naples in 1102.
