ANECDOTES CONCERNING
QUEEN VICTORIA.

OF Victoria. Mr. Martin had sew
cral anecdotes. one of which deals
with the Hon. Alexander Yorke then
Gentleman in Waiting to the Queen.
ALEC YorIe was a wonderful
mimic, and he could initiate Queen
Victoria to perfection; his facial re-
semblance to his royal mistress was
positively astounding when he used
to thrust dinner napkin into a cap,
and act the Queen to the life; II was
rather disrespectful, but it was GER
tqinly very amusing.
"One evening / got back late to my
hosts cottage, and just as ! had
fallen asleep I was awakened by
some gravel being thrown up at my
window I got out Of bed opened
the window, and heard Alec say, in
disconsolate tones:
Fred, for goodness sake let me
in. I'm a done man.
~ at once went downstairs, un-
bolted the door, and Yorke appeared,
looking the picture Of misery.
=" Whatever is the natter I asked.
There's the devil to pay he re-
piled, gloomily. I went to supper
party at Lady Mandeville's tonight,
and II. r. H. was present. After
supper the prince said to me, "Oh,
Mr.. Yorke, will you give us some
limitations? I hear you can take off
my mother very Welt Please do So"

If il gets TO her ears? She'll never

ITALY WILL NOT
 RESORT TO ARMS
Except to Defend Rights, She Will Take No Part in
 European War.

Washington Oct. lo.--The Italian governments policy in regard to the European war was made plain today by Ambassador Machi di Cellere. He declared Italy will not take up arms unless forced to do so by some ac' that threatens her own safety
 Although officially member or the triple alliance, the ambassador declared his country does not intend to endanger it's neutrality by yielding to the influence of any outside powers to take sides in the conflict.
 This attitude of positive neutrality, Dr. di Cellere said, in all probanlllty will continue, despite any changes i'll the cabinet. The minister explained that the troop movements in his coun- try are not in the nature of offense. The return of the colonials from Tripol, he stated, merely is part sol a previously contemplated plan for two-year volunteer service in the col onies. The present class having serv- ed it's required period, is returning to Italy for discharge.

 FLEES FROM PARIS
Miss Harrell Tells of Siege of French City and Con-
 ditions There.

Miss Victoria Harrell. who has been spending the past four years in Parls and who was caught in the war zone at the outbreak of the European war, returned yesterday from New fofK, where she has been since her afrlVai in the Land of the Free about month ago.
 Miss Harrell experienced consider able difficulty in reaching America. She said that the government sent several boats after refugees, but each time they would leave the dock before if was known that they were there
 After reaching boat and reJolclns at the fact that we were soon to sal, we were told to stand back and let the school teachers and educators who were compelled to return find 'berths on the steamers" said Miss Harrell. "A number of time we were prepared to return, but each time we were forc- ed to make way for them.
 "The war came over us almost be- fore we realized what had happened young lady companion and myself were in the outskirts of Paris when her brother, who is an officer Tn the French army, telephoned and advised her to at once go and draw all her money out of the bank. He also told us that war would be declared within the next twenty-four hours and that we should prepare ourselves for any emergency.
 we were very fortunate in this re-
 al money before the crash came. Tne greatest setback to all tourists was the lack of gold. Those who had their money in the banks at the out break of the war, could only draw Slo at time. This was hardly enough to live on. The day we left Paris the banks opened end depositors were al lowed to draw all their money. rms was a great relief
 "France by no means wanted war, hut when war was declared on August 1. buildings were immediately torn down and Paris was soon ready Tor the siege. We could hear the roaring of the cannons, but no one seemed greatly worried. The war spirit was l much in evidence.
 con our return to America on the /, steamer LatOnia we were stopped seV- eral times by English ships, but each time we were allowed to resume oul journey without much delay. The ricf and poor were all treated alike or the boat, but the women were showI every courtesy possible. Every mar on our boat was forced to the steer age"
 Miss Harrell, who is the possessol of beautiful voice, has spent the pas four years in Paris studying grand opera. When asked yesterday, in

Threat Did Not Work.

There was a time when the word Of
former United States Senator Joseph w.
Bailey was law in Texas, but the mighty
has fallen greatly since his connection
with the Standard Oil trust was disclos-
ed IL was primarily the cause of his
resignation, but other reasons we're Civ
en-. He went before the State conven-
tion the other day and offered a resolu-
iion denouncing National prohibition
and woman suffrage, and said that I'M
less it was adopted he would go before
the people of Texas as a candidate for
the U. 5. Senate upon platform in
GLIDING it among its planks. The very
promptness and the majority with which
the body sat down on the resolution
must have made the former dictator
realize how his power had departed.
Bailey is really man of as massive
mind as he is of body, but his excessive
vanity, coupled with the oil incident,
have been his undoing. His people have
lost confidence in him and once lost it is
hard TO be restored II is a real pity
that Bailey threw away his chance tC
have attained much higher position in
his party's management, but the love OF
money has caused many a promising
man to fall from the high pinnacle that
an admiring constituency on which
had placed him. Mr.. Bailey may, with
his gift of oratory nd pleasing address
reinState himself in public favor, bur il
will be difficult undertaking.
