Thomaston, Conn.,, Aug. 21.-A nasty temper, aroused in a family difference of opinion, led Henry Simpson last night to draw a revolver and shoot his brother-in-Iaw. John Donovan, in the leg. Although of small ca1ibre, the bullet broke the bone and Donovan was sent by Dr. Kane to St. Mary S hospital for treatment. Simpson was arrested this morning and charged with attempt to kill.

Cavendish, Vt, Aug. 21-It appears today, that Harry K. Thaw entered Canada from Vermont and not direct ly from New Hampshire as had been supposed. The village of Beecher Falls, where he left atl7e train is on the vermont side of the boundary line be- tween the states. It is in the town of Canaan, Vt.
 This is believed by state officials to be the basis for the report from SheTbroolce, Can, last night, that Thaw was likely to be turned over to the authorities of this state.

been an encouraging growth of sport both

Curing a Prima Donna

There is an interesting story told of
the manner in which Frederick the Great
could deal. where other men had failed,
with a prima donna of the period who
was inclined to set too little store by the
public. This great artist seemed to catch
a cold, which had the effect of rendering
her hoarse. and consequently unable to
sing whenever anybody or anything had
displeased her, says the Chicago Blade.
One day certain opera was to be per-

came forward and said:
Ladies and gentlemen. we grieve to in
form you that our prima donna has a
sore throat and that the representation
announced cannot. therefore, take place.
The stolid Teutonic audience seemed
not the least surprised, and was moving
out transquilly, when the King rose and
commanded the musicians to keep their
places.
The audience sat down again and walt
ed patiently for events. In less than q
quarter of an hour the manager reap
peared and spoke as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, have the most
unfeigned pleasure of informing you that
our prima donna is completely cured of
her sore throat and will have the honor
to sing before you toRight."

appeared, and never had she sung better.

Royal Princess Who Has Feu Frocks

= oNDON. September 27.-(Special.)
The common understanding OF the
- phrase. royal raiment" will have
to be considerably modified If the pres
ent generation of royal offsprings, and
especially Princess Mary of England, are
to be accepted as typical of their class.
The most extravagantly attired children
nowadays are by no means to be found
among the juvenile royalties with the
exception perhaps. of the Cars children
whose dress bills are larger than those of
the children of any other monarch.
The Princess Mary of England is one
of the most economically attired juvenile
princesses In Europe, ana her dress bills
are considerably less than those of many
young girls of the prosperous middle
class.
Up to a couple of years ago the prin-
cess rarely or never, had a dress pur-
chased for her. All her frocks were made
by Miss Constance Selby, Queen Mary's
chief dresser, from her majesty's left off
gowns. 1t was in the coronation year
that the princess had an evening frock
made for her for the first time by a pro-
fessional modlste, the cost of which was
$40; she had had four evening frocks
since. two at the same price and two
made by Miss Selby which as they were
made from Queen Marys left off evening
gowns cost nothing.
The style in which the Princess Mary
is habtually attired is so extremely plain
that even those ladies' in the immediate
royal entourage who follow the royal ex-
ample in most things will not dress their
daughters in the manner that the Prin-
cess Mary is attiied.
When the Princess Mary went to af-
ternoon tea in the gardens of the r. "
S. c. during Cowes week. she was attired
in a white drill skirt. white serge coat
and a legal hat, trimmed with white silk
Twenty dollars would about have covered
the cost of her costume. On that par
ticular occasion she wore white kid
gloves. the cost Of which is about fifty
cents per pair. The princess dress bills
certainly have not averaged more than
$3.50 a year during the past five years.
After her birthday last April the Princess
Mary was given a dress allowance by
her mother of $3.50 a year. but the prin-
cess must find her pocket money out OF
this allowance.

In the ordinary way would cost hundreds
of dollars. These garments are made al
together of, or are heavily tripmed with
old Brussels lace that is worth at least
s7J yard. The lace was part of a
large quantity of old lace that was given
to Queen Mary by Queen Victoria on the
marriage of the latter and Queen Mary
has utilized it largely, in trimming her
own dresses as we'll as some of those of
the Princess Mary. The only extraya-
CANT articles of attire that the Princess
Mary habitually wears are her stock
ings. Her stockings are of the finest silk
and cost $4 to s5 a pair and dozen
pairs in the pear are bought for her.
But even in this matter the princess has
not been allowed to be at all as extrava-
CANT as are many young girls of the
well-to-do classes, who have different
colored silk stockings to go with each
of their frocks. The princess has had
to be content with stockings of two
colors, black and white, wearing black
with her dark frocks and white with her
light frocks.
The Princess Mary's dress bills are
moreover saved by the fact that SHE re-

able change of opinion. A few years
ago in Holland there were practically
no socialists at all who would listen to
the suggestion that the party should
play role in practical politics.
The issue was raised by general cleo
ton. Before the election the, Catholics
and various shades of orthodox Calvin

election reversed this. The Believers

democratic programme, including cleo

The result was a government resigna-
tion. The succeeding cabinet had to be
formed out of the Left" parties, no
one of which taken alone had majority.
One of the first politicians whom Queen
Wilhelmna took counsel with was the
socialist lawyer Troelstra, who has al
ways stood strongly for collaboration In
creative politics. Troelstra, much to the
disgust of the stalwarts, put on a frock
coat and went to court. The first plan
was that the radical leader Or. Bos
should form cabinet and, basing her
decision on what Troestra said. Queen

habitually wear the most expensive
frocks but they seldom wear the same
frock more than dozen times and their
wardrobe is, therefore, continually being
replenished.
Though like all royal children the Gar 8
daughters do not wear much jewelry as
outward ornaments, they wear jeweled
garters and jeweled buckles to their
shoes.
Each of the young duchesses has the
service of two maids each, and their
wardrobe room is an immense apartment

way four times day and have their
hair specially dressed three times. The

extravagance in dress is not maintained

in the matter Of dress are naturally much
greater than her younger sisters.
That their children should be extrava-

tradition that is carefully observed by
the Car and Czarina.
The most economically attired Of all
JuNCllii0 pIlnCeSScS are DrODaDly LQe
Princess Mary and Princess Helena OF
Teck; they are economically clad not
merely from choice but from necessity,
for the Tecks are one of, IL not actual
ly, the poorest of the royal families.
1t is probable that s10O covers the cost
of the princesses whole attire in the year
and it is extremely rare that frock
is purchased for either of them. Queen
Mary supplies the material in the shape
of her left off gowns for most of their
dresses and Queen Alexandra also makes
frequent presents both Of frocks and un-
derwear. The princesses are, therefore,
we'll attired, but In the privacy of their
own home they habitually wear dresses
Of dark holland, which are serviceable
and cheap.
The little Princess Beatrice of Spain
is also extremely economically attired
and this is the most curious because the
Queen of Spain herself is the most ex-
travagantly dressed royalty in Europe.

a few weeks ago purchased half dozen
