One of the most remarkable stories
of domestic trouble and villainy was
published in the Paris Figara, utterly
unbelievable in a civilized nation Of
the twentieth century. / shall relate
it here:
II is the tale Of a French countess
who had been divorced without her
/ knowledge while continuing TO reside
with my husband" The friendly law
mentioned the names of all C&rties
concerned (which prefer to withhold.
as the lady is we'll known in this coun-
try and she evidently is the victim of
foul plot), | should not have de-
ipeated the scandal.
The countess declared that recently
she was met by lawyer, an old friend
I of her family, and who asked her
where she was living since her di-
vorce. She replied. But am not d.
lyorced, and am still living happily
with my husband" The friendly law
yer thereupon informed her that he
knew her husband had obtained a di-
vorce decree; also that he was about
to marry a wealthy widow.
Investigation showed that the di-
lvorce had been granted on account Of
ialleged notorious misconduct"
whereas the countess is stated by her
friends to be virtuous woman. II
seems she has signed a number Of
documents at the request of her hus-
band without reading them. II has
now been ascertained that the state
ments in them included a refusal to
live with her husband an acceptance
of the divorce decree, and a receipt
for the restitution Of her dowry.
The police authorities we're consult
ed by the countess, and meanwhile the
count has married the other woman

Examination of he peerage reveals
many interesting cases of boys of ten
der years who will one day inherit
vast riches. estates and family honors,
the most fortunate, perhaps. being the
l5-year-old Earl Of Arundel and Sur
rey, the son of the Duke Of Norfolk
who is heir to both his fathers and
mothers estates. The Duke of Nor
folk owns $4,000 acres in some Of the
fairest English counties. his rent roll
exceeding a quarter OF a million
pounds sterling a year, while the
Duchess OF Norfolk (Baroness Her
ries), in her own right. owns 1890
acres. The duke is one of London s
great landlords. owning a consider
able portion of the southeast side Of
the Strand According to a competent
authority, the annual rent roll of this
land a couple of decades ago was
$4,000 pounds. New buildings I'm Nor
folk and Surrey streets have immeas-
urably augmented the revenue, which
has increased three-fold in value.
A year previous to the birth of the
Earl of Arundel and Surrey, a son was
born to the Marquis of Butte. "the un-
crowned king of Cardiff" as he has
been called, whose father left the
enormous fortune of 100000 pounds.
His son and heir. the Earl of Dunn
fries. a bright little youngster of G
years, will inherit vast estates which
cover 1900 acres, in addition to
many titles. The Marquis of Butte is
the wealthiest peer in Scotland, al
though he does not possess quite so
many acres as the Earl of Dalhousie.

Engineer BurreH Says It II Not

State College, n. NJ, Jan. z.-During
his lecture ct the Agricultural college
Mr. Burrel. highway engineer made a
aggression to comment on the remark
able record set by Dona Ana county in
its road bond election on Saturday last
This stands as a record, I believe, for
the whole United States" said Mr.
BurreM Il do not know of a single
instance among the hundreds of road
bond elections held in various states
of this country, where the record set
by Dona Ana county has been equalled.
Here was a case where you brought
total vote to the polls, where the vote
in favor of your bonds was about 60
to one, and where over half of the pre-
cincts of your county voted uuani-
mously for the bonds. 1t is a record
that think stands unequalled in the
United States and a record of which
you may be Justly proud"
Mr.. Burreu spent the afternoon in
company with MesSrs. Gillian and Les

A b. Sage, of the engineering depart
ment Of the college, in going over the
experimental paved road built three
years ago on the college grounds by
the office OF Of public roads. They also

road surfacing purposes. Samples were
