GLADYS VANDERBILT is SNUBBED BY ROYALTY

as if she had been any other countess
in any other capital. or even in New
York. To be sure. people were anx-
ious for a glimpse of her but they
were not the people whom she cared
to know. They were idle curiosity
seekers, for the most part. and news
paper reporters. Beggars and charity
seeking people sought an audience;
beggars were more insistent than in
America. But nobility and royalty
left her alone.
After a short visit in Budapest the
count and countess went to Castle
Szechenyi, in Oermezoe, Hungary.
Oermezoe is small village near
Kaschau, Upper Hungary, and is over
a hundred miles from Budapest.
And the castle proved the worst
disappointment of all. SO far. Instead
of a wonderful castle, a castle of
dreams, it was a rambling, old fash
ioned structure. The grounds were
beautiful. but the castle itself was
old and weather beaten. The interior
was furnished with various kinds of
furniture, nearly all old, but not real
ly antique. 1t was dark, dismal.
Ever since her marriage Countess
SZechenyi wanted to be presented at
court in Vienna. Millions may be
helpful. They may seem even indis-
pensable at times. But they do not
give one court entries. Countess
Szechenyi was ineligible. She and
the count did all they could, but she
could not gain real acquaintanceship
to the inner circle of the Austrian
court.
This snubbing by royalty has been
the greatest disillusion of all for the
American girl.
In the five years since her marri-
age Countess Szechenyi has done
everything in her power to gain ad-
mittance into the court circles of Hun
gary and Austria. All in vain. Mil
lions have been spent on charities and
on entertainments.
Count Szechenyi himself at last is
disheartened. He has spent much
money in the Balkan war. His small
fortune is gone. Some intimate friends
say that he still wishes his wife to
change her mind and move back to
Vienna Others say that he has ex-
patriated himself for love of his wife
and his two children. For in spite OF
the many disillusions that come when
an American heiress and a titled for
eigner marry, love between the Szech-
enyis has still remained as firm as
ever, according to all reports.

land but are not able to pay for its
upkeep. 1t is quite possible that the
marriage of Miss Vanderbilt to Count
Szechenyi really was a love match.
Disillusions started directly after
the wedding. This time it was not
the disillusion of love. But the dis
illusions nevertheless were great.

travel. Instead of being received with

Attacks upon our social system have

there is much less seasonal variation
in the food supply and consequently
much more uniformity in the diet at
different times of the year.
In considering the human race, as a
whole, there are three great epochs in
mans diet. namely: The early hunting
period, in which man depended entire
ly on natural supply of both animal
and vegetable food; the cooking Pc
riod. in which man still used a nat
ural supply of food, but prepared it for
use with the aid of heat, and the So
called cibicultural or food producing
period-that is. the period in which
man has depended upon the cultiva-
ton of both flocks and herds and field
and garden crops to supplement wild
supply of food.

DR.. E. II, Galloway, secretary of the
state board of health, has written TO the
members of congress from this state
asking their cooperation in securing
Legislation looking to the eradication
of pellagra from the country. He states
that during the past six months there
have been 1858 cases of pellagra re-
ported in this state, resulting in 267
deaths. ssThe spread Of pellagra, z says
DR.. Galloway, sis appalling, and res
gradless OF whether the theory that
pellagra is caused by eating inferior
cornmeai is correct or not the sale OF
such product should be stopped =
Among other things Dr.. Galloway
says: practically ali the corn used in
this state comes from the middle west,
and much Of it is spoiled and unflt fol-
food. Il has been said that carload lots
Of corn have been shipped to this state
to be used for food for stock, and being
refused by the consignee, due to its
damaged condition and being unit for
stock food, it has been returned to some
Northern mill and ground into corn
meal, and this meal made from this
spoiled corn is shipped back TO US for
food. He thinks that the people OF
this part Of the country are entitled to

corn product, and calls on congress fol

Petition for Pardon.

To Governor Earl Brewer, Governor of Mis-
sissippf: We, your undersgners and voters OF
the co 5nty of Hancock, in the State of Missis-
sippi, respectfully represent TO your excellency
that one Whitmore Mccoy, colored, killed an
other negro man In open fight with guns In Han
cock county. In 1904, was tried for murder there
for, convicted and sentenced for life in the pen
itentiary, sent up December i5, 1904.
Whitmore Mccoy was never IN any trouble
before this affair, and had always been hard
working, thrifty negro; respectful and we'll
liked among the white people, and as we have it
on good authority that his conduct In prison
during his entire nearly nine years has been
A-No.-1, he being full "trusty" half that time,
we believe his punishment has been sufficient.
We would therefore request you to sho mer-
cy to this black man, whose poverty most likely
prevented him from employing legal advisors,
whereby In all probability he would have been
convicted OF manslaughter instead of murder.
We ask you to pardon this ignorant man, be-
lieving that he viii be good, hardworking citi-
zen, as he has proven faithful, respectsul pris-
