Daniels Gathers Eggs;

ECRETARY of the Navy Daniels
y the other day disclosed the fact
that he keeps at his country place
near Washington some ninety chick
ems, that yield him every day twenty
eggs, and he thereby put himself in
line for a lot of trouble.
: For when Secretary of State Bryan,
who keeps a riding horse by the name
of Rex, but who owns no chickens,
heard about his colleagues wealth, he
made the proposal that Mr.. Daniels
ought to divide those fresh eggs
among the other members Of the cabi-
net. Mr.. Daniels has not yet been
heard from on the proposal, but the
general opinion is that If the secretary
of state wants any of the eggs from
the Daniels chicken coop, he will have
to mount his horse Rex some morn
ing before daybreak and ride out and
get them himself.
Secretary Daniels said incidentally
that he is opposed to having the
clerks of the government departments
report at o'clock, because it would
necessitate his making his morning
rounds to gather eggs at least an hour
earlier each day. Mr.. Daniels allows
himself to be an hour later than the
clerks of his department, but makes

ID PHILADELPHIA, PA.-Society here
1 has been startled by a unique and
sensational expose of crooked gam

amounts aggregating to fortune at
roulette, each received the exact
amount OF their losses in a sealed en-
velope at dinner given by Arthur

club men. who staged the startling af-
fair. Members of exclusive Ritten-

and have made resolves never to daily

The host, who has frequently pro-
duced new and unbeard of events in
the whirl of social doings here, had

dyke, was in evidence, with faro and
roulette as the chief game for the
society plungers.
Counters were sold by a cashier and
the professional croupiers and dealers,
with their eye shades and calm man
ners, gave the effect an air of the
days of Richard Canfeld's establish
ment and the Atlantic City gambling
places during the palmy days. Many
of the guests had been stricken with
the gambling fever at Palm Beach
during the winter, and it was for
these that the affair was given.

Defendants in Court demonstrate"

M G. HARPER, clerk of the police
N. court, reading charges Of disor-
derby conduct to Harry Johnson and
Charles O'Connor, knowing that the
charge of "cursing' and swearing"
was generally contained in such in
formation, included these words:
How do you plead. guilty or not
guilty." Mr.. Harper demanded.
No answer.
To facilitate the business Of the
court, Bailiff Hopkins went close to
the men and asked them in a low
tone whether they were disorderly or
not at the time mentioned in the pa
per. But he received no answer.
Are you guilty or not?" Mr. Har-
per asked, in a polite but somewhat
louder tone than he had used before
Still no answer.
After some confusion, Policemen
Brennan, who arrested the men, was
called, and explained to the court that
the men were both deaf and dumb.
How could these men be 'cussin'
and swearin' If they can't talk?" the
court demanded.
"They weren't, your honor" Bren-
nan responded, but in spite OF that
they sure were having hot time up

of Mr.. O'Hara. The Indians could
hardly grasp the idea at first Of how
they could sing into tin horn and
thereby record their music. After
the first song had been sung, how
ever, the reproduction was given them
in few minutes and the magic Of the
operation was bewildering to them.
They thought it was the most won
derful of all the wonders they have
seen since their invasion Of the east.
Mr.. O'Hara is arranging to visit
Glacier National park early this sum-
mer and complete his records of the
Blackfeet tribe there.
Through the interior department
arrangements were made to take
these records privately in New York
in an out-of-the-way loft. There is
one song in particular which the
Glacier Park Indians sing, in which
musical critics find considerable
merit This is a song descriptive, of
the Blackfeet Indians love OF his
home environment. Big Top. the In
dian interpreter, says:
my people always sing this song,
because when they 60 away from the
mountains their hearts are lonely,
and it makes them think of home,

is mourning the death of Nellie, who
long was his mate. Dismally he PAGES

gentle strokes of the keeper on his

Nellie for years was the best known
animal in the Lincoln park zoo. She
was the mother Of 126 cubs. For sew

gradually getting feebler with old age
She was twenty-four years old. Cy
De Vry, who has had charge of the
animals for twenty-five years, raised
Nellie from a cub.
Prince was purchased from a circus
in Wisconsin on April 6, 1903, for ST.

Nellie. They lived in harmony and

long years. Visitors used to smile as
they gazed into cage at Nellie and

Society People See Expose Of Crooked Gambling

The play was heavy and fast, with
the percentage all for the house. :
Society matrons who had begun
their dabbling wagers in spirit Of
fun, soon became tense and white
with the strain of trying to recoup
losses, and men whose faces are prom

$500 stacks of chips. Suddenly for

gathered about the large ornate rou-
lette wheel. All players won heavily
and other games were deserted. while
the entire gathering placed their bets
on the whirling ball.
Just as suddenly as they had won,
the wheel began to play against them,
and in dozen turns the players were
broke. More written promises and
checks were accepted by the host.
and the crowd again feverishly at

ball with it's metal filling.
Marked cards, loaded dice and
crooked faro boxes, were all demon

after the strain OF their losses, found
it hard to believe that they had not

DUKE OF MoNTPENSlER NOW A KING

The new king chosen by the peo-
pie of Albania, to whom the Balkan
war has given freedom, is the Duke
of Montpensier, young man OF
Twenty-Five, who has won fame both
as a soldier and an explorer. He is
the only brother and heir Of tho
Duke of Orleans, chief of the royalist
party In France, and is immensely
wealthy. Being an exile from France,
on account of the pretension of the
Duke of Orleans to the throne OF
France, he has been denied service
in the French army; but he has made
up for this by explorations in the
hinterland of Tonking and Cochin,
China. He also served with distinc-
ton under the Spanish flag against
the Moors.
His most popular title of Duke Of
Montpensier comes from his mother,
who was Spanish infanta, the daugh-
ter of the Duke OF Montpensier. His
father, from whom he inherits his
ample fortune, was the Comte de
