LADY HENRY, Duchess of Somerset.

London, July 25.-Because she has taken so many rich Americans under her wing and chaperoncd them into the inner circles of London society, Lady Henry, Duchess of Somerset has become known as "everybody's Du- chess" It is nothing for Lady Henry to make her appearance at two or three functions in one night in order to give prestige to the affairs, the hostesses being rich American wo- men. who the Duchess is helping over the rocks and through the quicksands of English society.
 Lady Henry, who was Miss LeWi- sohn of New York, is not the first peeress to be called "Everybody's Du- chess" This nickname was applied formerly to the Duchess of Rutland, whose financial affairs have improved since her daughter became Marchio- ness of Anglesey.
 The Duchess of Somerset is very wealthy, but in spite of that the world whispers of sordid gains whenever she condescends to patronize the merely rich.

ELECTRICAL STORM
 DOES DAMAGE HERE
 PHONES ARE CRIPPLED. TWO HOUSES ARE IGNITED BUT FIRE BOYS CHECK
 FLAMES.
Rain Was General Throughout the State and Was Most Beneficial
 tO the CrODS.

The electrical and rain storm of yesterday morning came ia the na- ture of a surprise to the citizens of Pine Bluff, who had retired with the skies practically clear and no indica- tion whatever of the storm that broke at 3 a. m For some time before the rain begun the heavens were aflame with constant flashes of lightning and those out at that time of the morn- ing hastened home just in time to es- cape the deluge of water which fol- lowed.
 The Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company suffered most from the storm, lightning striking one of their 300 wire cables in the western part of the city and putting out of commission 300 telephones on that circuit, while. at other points in the city the lightning burned out phones where the connections were not carried in cables.
 The residence of F. A. Carver, No. 1905 West Third avenue, was set on fire by the lightning running into the house over an electric wire. The fuse block bursted and the wall pa per ignited. The home of J. c. Ev- ans, Mo- 312 Cherry street. was also struck but no damage resulted. The fire companies responded to both alarms and prevented any spread of the flames.
 The weather bureau reports the rainfall as general throughout the state and that it was very beneficial to the crops for in number of local ities the drought was badly affecting corn and cotton The rain continued un- til neary s o'clock, the precipitation for this city being $40 inches. The river is rising slowly at this point rise of 5-10 being reported at noon yes- terday.

"MEN HIGHER UP"
 BET ON HORSE RACES

Washington, Aug. 26.-Evidence has been found that betting on horse races, according to the police, has not been confined to the clerks in the govern ment departments, but that certain high officials were also patrons of the bOokmakers, some of whom were re- gently arrested in the navy yards. In- vestigators declare the "men higher up' made their wagers through subor- dinates, and as a result their aprehen- sion will be difficult.
 The inquiry into the handbook bet ting industry in the departments, tine police say, has led them to the 'discov- cry that it was conducted by ring of gamblers with resources of upwards of a halfmillion dollars. For years it is said, this ring has made profits which usually range well up in the thousands of dollars.
