Spanish officer, caught the native by
the nape of the neck and the seat of

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS
NitionaI Heirlooms, About TO Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged TO William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
OF Independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
Of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee In charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out OF Congress hall.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress Of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two Of
the blind women who understood chair
repairing The work was peculiarly
difficult, for ii was impossible TO erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the deft seeing
fingers" of the bling women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

CONDITIONS IN PSYcHoPATHIc
HOSPITAL ARE BAD

Two floors of the new Cook County
Psycopathic hospital are so crowded
with patients that some have, at
times, to sleep on the floor. Three
other floors of the building are I'M
used. One floor, thoroughly equipped
with the most expensive apparatus, is.
kept under lock and key.
Lack of appropriation and lack Of
help are given as the reasons for this
queer way of managing the hospital
There are so few attendants that it,
is not unusual to see obstreperous
patients strapped to their beds or
with leather-manacled wrists. So
crowded are the patients that when
one goes on the rampage he often
keeps whole floor of patients awake
because there is no place to put him.

FORD FALOoNER, SOLDIER
 HEIR TO BRITISH EARLDOM, SC TODAY

Lord Arthur George Keith-Ca1- coner, son and heir of the Earl of Hntore, who, as an officer of re- serves was called upon to serve his outbreak of the war, was born thirty six years ago today. He was the sec ond son of the tenth Earl of Kintore, but his elder brother, Lord In- verurie, died in 1897. ard Lord Fall coner thus became heir to the earl dom and the 2s, ,OOo acre estate. He was a, lieutenant of the Third Cam eron High1anders at the outbreak of the South African war and served at the front throughout that conflict. After the war he became an officer of the famous Scots Guards, and later "a lieutenant of the reserve of off cers. Lord Fa1coner has made sew eral vists tp America. Early this year he was a guest, with the Duke and Duchess, of Manchester, of MT
 and Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt on the Vanderbilt yacht Warrior, which ran ash ore off the coast of ColoIn- bia. The party had a thrilling ex- perience, spending a day and a night of uncertainty while the yacht, fast on a reef, was pounded by high seas, until they were taken off through the breakers to the rescue ship AL mirante and landed safely at Colon. The title of Lord Falconer dates from 1647. Thirty years later the family received the Scotch titles of Lord Keith Of Inverurie and Earl of Kintore, and in 1898 the title of Lord Kintore of the United Kingdom was created. The ear1dom was origi- naiIy conferred upon a son of the sixth Earl MarischaI for preserving the rega1ia of Scotland from the hands of Cromwell In 177S the peerage through a female heir to the family of Lord Falconert of HaIker- ton. The tenth Earl of Kintore, father of Lord Fa1coner, early be- came prominent in politics and was noted as a supporter of MT. Bal four and MT. Chamberlain. He was one of the leaders in the movement for the celebration of a centenary of peace between English -speaking g peoples and has headed various other movements designed to increase the friendly relations between the United States and Great Britain.

MAUREs DoNNAY.

Natures Donnay, the French dra- matist- and academican who is charged by the German press with having been the leader of a clique in the French Academy which has long foStered French popular hatred of the Germans, is a native of Paris and is fifty-five years old. His plays, the first of which was produced over twenty years ago, have enjoyed a wide popularity. M. Donnay has de- nied the accusation that he has ever fostered hatred of Germany, but ad-
 nits that it now exists in the hearts of all Frenchmen. In the Figaro he writes: Tt was not with a light heart, but with deep regret, that we felt hatred born in our souls against you; butt since it has become scored and necessary it has invaded our whole being. We hate you. We hate you when we think of the seven year-o1d child whom your soldiers shot because that child aimed a toy wooden gun at them We hate you when we think of the smoking ruins of the cathedral of Rheims. You have given us thousands of reasons for hating you. You say in Ger many tKrieg ist Krieg'; and we say in France ia g1erre est la guerre'; but there is war and war--or rather. may say there is 'Krieg' and there is tIaguerre'-for it seems to be very clear that the word for war has not the same. meaning in both languages. Tn France we we'll know that the ob- ject of war is the pitting of army against army. the forcing hors de combat by fire and steel the greatest possible number of men. But in that which the Germans call tKrieg' you kill not only soldiers, but you also kill the little children and the old men and women.
