HOW To GREET
Sir 7. ]. Upton
AIphonSe DeRigeur Advises At
IantanS on Etiquette in
Matter of N0bIemen.
Continued from Page once

what he wants out Of our weekly pay
and hand US back the envelope
But in England they make him q
knight, which pleases him just as much
and costs the consumer legs. When a
man is made knight in England they
call him Sir" When he makes a
night of II in Atlanta they call him
down. 1t seems there ought to be some
connection between those statements,
but it's hard to figure out.
5aronet7 Little Baron.
Anyway Mr. =. j. Upton, teas and
spices, became Sir Thomas. Afterward,
when he found there we're so many
knights up and down Piccadjlly that
they had to have special traffic ordi-
nances, Sir Thomas went back 10 the
late queen, registered a protest, and
was made baronet. A baronet is a
little baron. It's like being on the gov
ernors staff, conspicuous but not re-
munerative. But It's better than being
just mere knight, for as some merry
wag wrote to Punch" there's a knight
for every day.
So don't call him MY LORD" or Your
Londship" or pull any Of that stuff
Sir Thomas Is the correct salutation,
Just plain "Sir Thomas" Do not feel
a delicacy in addressing him by his
front name on short acquaintance. In
England, last names are used for but
lers and housekeepers. you know. Why,
the king, God bless him, has forgotten
he ever had surname. though he has
enough front and middle names to sup
ply an orphan asylum. And it will not
be necessary to remain uncovered in
his presence unless you're in the par
lor.
Talk Of Yachting, Of Course
But of course you1l want to chat
with Sir Thomas and make him feel
at home, and being forbidden to talk
tea you'll fall back on yachts and
yachting. Sir Thomas is collecting
views on yachting from several inland
cities
SO you might ask him whether he
ever gets seaslck and what he takes for
it, what he thinks Of American yacht
ing rules OF no ladies are present., and
for racing purposes. You might refer
casually to the skipper and his assist
ant the scupper, or speak in an off
hand way Of splicing the splnnaker
abaft the to'gallant lee carburator.
If he doesn't grow enthusiastic over
that tell him about your ocean trip and
how the captain said you were the best
sailor he ever saw. He'd be awfully in
terested in your trip.
But don't, don't ask him II this is
his first visit to America. For he has
been over several distinct and separate
times just TO get one piece of silver
ware, and he hasn't got it yet. But he
has hopes

Worlds Worst Criminal.

Boston. Jan. 12.-The Rev. George
Il. Horr. president of the Newton The
illogical institution, from which Clar-
ence Richeson graduated, In discus
sion before the students of that instl-
tuition today OF the Richeson murder,
under the title Responsibility Of the
institution" characterized the con-
demned clergyman as the worlds
worst criminal.
"a clergyman who debauches a
young girl and then takes her llfe. "
declares DIR. Horr, "is as bad as any
man can be in this world. cannot
say as TO the ultimate salvation Of
Richeson-I can not know as TO the
sincerity of his penitence-all that can
he done Is 10 leave his fate with God"
President Herr said that Richeson
had come to the institution with pro-
per credentials and that in the opin-
Ion of the faculty he was barely OF
average mental capacity and attain
ments. but 10 say that he was n gen
nus would be to exaggerate.

GIRLS TRAGEDY
COMES TO LIGHT
Refused to Accompany Hus-
band Of Her Girlhood
Friend.
He Demands That She go
and Then Kills Her and
Himself.

Chicago. Jan. 12-Because of her
determination to remain true to her
friend. whose husband pursued her re-
lcntlesslv with his attentions. Miss
Edith Smith, a beautiful young school
teacher of Wheaton was the victim In
one Of the most sensational tragedies
In the history of that fashionable sub
urb. Today her body lies in a dark
morgue of the little town while hum
dreds of friends are praising her de-
votion that caused her to give up her
life rather than submit TO the pro-
posas of Sylvester u. Adams, who
commanded her to run away with
him.
Adams went to the little school yes
tcrday afternoon. He waited in the
school room until the children had
been dismissed Then, according to
the theory, he made last demand on
the girl that she accompany him on
n triD. She refused as she had done
many times before. Then Adams drew
gun and shot the girl through the
temple. As she fell he turned the re-
volver upon himself and put bullet
through his brain. Both died instant
ny.
A note from Miss Smith to Adams
| was found in the dead mans pocket,
beseeching him for the sake of his
wife, her girlhood friend, TO be a man.
TO this appeal Adams reply was: 81
YOU don't go with me- God help you
you'll regret IT,"
The tragedy in the school-house fol-
lowed.
! Adams lived with his wife In Chi
cago. Mrs. Adams said today:
81 can not understand Il. I know
the poor girl was not 20 blame. My
husband must have lost his mind. on

GAS SUPPLY MAY
Be CUT OFF IN MY.
About rs per cent Of Work
ers at the Plants Are
Striking.
Strikers Claim There Won't
be Any Gas by
Night.

Now York. Jan. 12.--New York was
today facing the prospect of having
eighty per cent of its gas supply cut
Oft II union gas workers are able, by
nightfall to enforce general strike
of all employees OF the big plants con-
trolled by the Consolidated Gas com
pany. Despite the officials claims
that they have plenty of men TO take
the strikers PLACES ana that only a
small percentage Of their employees are
union men. the situation was admitt-
edly serious.
Most OF the streets OF the city are
lighted with gas while hundreds of
thousands of homes and business
and cooking purposes,
The union agents are congregated
during the day AT the mammoth plant
ta Astoria and insisted that by G
tonight they would have this establish
ment from which comes eighty per
cent. Of the gas used in Manhattan
and the Bronx, completely crippled.
The mems grievance is alleged dis
elimination against union men by the
company. George b. Corteyou, form
er member Of the Mckinley and Roose-
yelt cabinets, Is president of the COM
pany, The strike has the backing Of
the American Federation of Labor and
General Organizer Wyatt, who is in
charge Of 1t, stated today that seven
ty-hve per cent. Of the employees are
union men and will obey the strike
order
At the company's office the follow
ing statement was issued;
"There is no strike at our plant. A
few men have thrown up their posi-
tons. Their places have already been
filled. They have plenty Of men in
reserve should other employees abandon
their posts, but we do not expect that
thew will do So"

Paris, Jan. 12.-Robert Bacon. am
bassador OF the United States at Paris,
announced he would resign.
His letter in which he announces
his resignation 10 President Taft Is
due to reach the president at Wash

Mr.. Bacon especially refrained
from making his retirement public,
as he desired the first announcement
10 come from Harvard university,
which yesterday chose him to be a
fellow in place Of Judge Lowell, de-
ceased.
In discussing his retirement from
the diplomatic service, Ambassador
Bacon saitl he wished his friends to
know that there were no ulterioramo-
tives for his resignation. He hath been
long and earnestly interested In Har-
ward and had been for II years a
member of the board of oyerseers. He
could not, he said, decline the honor
of becoming a fellow of Harvard uni
verslty, which he considered TO be
the best single Influence for good in
America.
Must Reside in America.
Mr.. Bacon added that his accept
ance Of the fellowship Of Harvaili
meant his residence in America ana
the devotion of much of his time.
Moreover, he welcomed the oppor"
tunity 10 identity himself actively with
fhe problems OF American civic ana
national life.
"Is your resignation at this tlme

Washington, Jan. 12.-Robert Ba-
con- former business associate OF J.
T. Morgan. has resigned his post as
United States ambassador 10 France.
No official word of his resignation,
however, has reached the state de-
partment, the news coming from
France In news dispatches. It Is de-
clared that Mr.. Bacon has tired Of
the social life OF the French capital
The story Is also circulated that Mr..
Bacon intends Ia aid Theodore Roose-
welt in any political ambitions he may
nave. but this Is denidb by the am,
bassador. According to another story
Mr.. Bacon has long realized the OPP
portunites Of the press and he may
become the owner OF some metropol-
itan newspaper He Is very wealthy
The news of Ambassador Bacon z
resignation came as a distinct surprise
TO the officials OF the state depart
ment and to White House officials,
who had not hesltatod to discredit the
first rumors of the resignation based
upon the election OF Mr.. Bacon yes
! terday to. the board of overseers at
Harvard.
Several Suggested for Place.
II was recalled today that during
his brief visit to this country last
summer, Mr. Bacon indicated to some
OF his friends that he had become
somewhat wearled by the extensive
social requirements OF the Paris en-
bassy 1t was also noted j. Pierpont
Morgan, who arrived in Paris a fcw
days ago, was a guest of the ambaS
sador and those who recalled the fact
that Mr.. Bacon formerly was nsso-
ciated with the nnancior I'm business
were quick to sense a possible re-
nowal OF the old ties.
The news camo so suddenly that
there was scarcely time today to de-
velop the potential strength OF the
ambassadors Of lesser stations and The
various American ministers who by
right of seniority might aspire TO an
