ARE LED BY GHOST
Russians See SkobeIeff at Their
Head.
Belief Said to Be In the Ranks That
Great Commander Directs the
Movements of the Armies
Of the Gar.

Some Russian soldiers have de-
clared they saw the figure Of Skobe-
left on his white horse, leading their
forces, as of old, into battle. To those
who know the profound impression
that wonderful man made on the Sla-
vonic mind, there is no improbability in
such a suggestion. Drawn so largely
from a primitive peasantry, the vast
host marshaled by the car must con-
tain multitudes whose childlike imag-
nations are quite capable of conjur-
ing up their legendary hero in visible
form once more, warding OFF defeat
and pointing to victory. Even with
the less simple there may well be
longing to have so famous fighter at
their head in that great struggle he
predicted would happen, and in which
he would so dearly have loved to play
his part.
II was while the Russo-Turkish war
in 1877 was raging that. from the
midst Of official incompetence and cor
rupt favoritism, Skobeleff emerged as
the magician to whose wand victory
was ever obedient Entirely by his
own merits, without the advantage of
illustrious birth, and against the OPP
position, Of prejudiced court, he had
won his generals epaulets before he
was 80. After the fall Of Plevna, his
rapid passage of the Balkans in mid
winter brought about the surrender
OF Turkeys last army in the field and
this was speedily followed by the cap
ture of Adrianople. He was already
at the gates OF Constantinople when
Lord Beaconsfeld interviewed to pre-
vent its occupation, and In the Berlin
treaty that ensued Skobeleff ever pro-
fessed to see the seeds of the harvest
we are gathering today.
AS a soldier he created among his
men an enthusiasm for his leadership
comparable only to that won by Ma
poleon himself. A strict disciplin-
arian, visiting any breach Of COM
mands with merciless severity, he was
the friend and companion of every
rank, comrade who shared their
privatlons, fed from their camp pots
and merrily chaffed one and all.
He did not know the sensation or
fear, and faced the utmost dangers
with cool contempt. Yet always he
bore a charmed life. Horses were
killed beneath him, his staff fell shot
at his side. his sword was broken In
his hand, but no missile ever found in
him its billet. The story grew in the
army that he could not be wounded,
and some were found to declare they
were hit by bullets that could only
have passed through him first. II was
facts and fables like these, losing
nothing l. the telling, that made him
the darling OF the Russian people.

H-ltlsh ROYAL Family.

Une hundred years ago England held
a national jubilee In celebration of the
centenary of the accession Of the
House of Hanover to the English
throne. The first Of the Hanoverian
line was George /, who succeeded to
the throne Of Great Britain and Ire
land on the death of Queen Anne. Au-
gust 1, TIA. Georges succession to
the throne came through his mother,
the electress Sophia of Hanover, who
was a granddaughter OF James l. The
most conspicuous figure In the reign
of George l was Sir Robert Walpole,
who was the first prime minister of
England. The fact that George could
speak no English, while his ministers
could speak no German, taken with
the other fact that the king preferred
to spend much Of his time In Hanover.

that Walpole was the first to hold, the

Miss Stonehouse. whose highb bred
type of beauty carries off the splendid
things in clothes, seems fitted to mas
querade as silken-robed princesses and
queens pictured in romances of long
ago. The strenuous life of the NOV
ing-picture actress is not reflected in
the calm eyes and serene brow that
the fans" know so well in this actress
of the silent drama.
To her type belong just the sort of
clothes in which we catch a glimpse
of her through the eye of the camera.
Her cloak, or mantle, of rich, high
luster silk, is made of a weave so
supple that 1t is easy to reveal
graceful carriage in it. 1t falls and
clings and adapts itself to each motion
of the wearer.
This silk has brocaded surface and
is woven in many colors, but is most
beautiful in rose or blue and in cop
per shades. But in any color the bro
caded surface and the lustrous weave
allow a fascinating play of color.

USE NIAGARA FALLS
Power to Be Utilized Without
Affecting Beauty.
Engineers Have Worked Out Scheme
Which IL Is Believed VIII Give
Results Without Necessity Of
Destroying the Falls.

Niagara falls is to be put to work
without affecting the scenic beauty
OF one of the worlds wonders, a plan
having been worked out to save and
utilize from rs to 80 per cent OF the
power now going to waste without
outraging the artistic sensibllities OF
nature lovers. Two of the most im-
portant features Of the fall, in scenic
way, are the DETECTION Of light
through the water as it curves over
the crest, and the rising spray from
the impact of the water at the base
of the cliff, and both Of these features
are to be preserved. This is to be ac-
complished by an ingenious arrange
ment OF penstocks by which por-
ton of the water is caught as it falls
from the crest, is led through the
turbines, and is then discharged into
the falling sheet of water at the foot
of the cliff, care being taken not to d.
vert enough of the water through the
penstocks to impair the beauty of the
falling sheet.
The plan involves the building of a
permanent concrete crest for the falls,

Landlord Bars chlIdIess.

Supercilious landlords may refuse
to rent houses to families with chill
dren, but not Frank Mcdonnell Of De-
troit. In fact, Landlord Mcdonnell
will not rent his houses to childless
parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. L. Allen, who have
just celebrated their first wedding
anniversary, found an ideal cottage on
Bagg street, belonging to Mr. McDon-
nell. Everything seemed satisfactory
to both parties until the owner learned
that the Aliens had no children. You
cannot have the place." the landlord
said. II learned long ago that young
couples without children move often.
They never stay long in one place. It
doesn't pay to rent to them. Only
couples with children can live in my
houses. Sorry, but that's my rule. -

NoRSEMEN FIRST IN AMERICA
Inscription on RunIe Stone Seems TO
Prove Claim That Has Been Mat
ter Of Contention.

London antiquaries have the opporS
tunity Of judging for themselves
whether Christopher Columbus dis
covered or rediscovered America, for
at Charing Cross the celebrated
Fletcher runic stone, discovered near
Yarmouth. N. s., by Doctor Fletcher
over one hundred years ago, is now
displayed.
On this stone strange characters
can be seen. which, II Is stated. for
over fifty years, baffied the leading
scientists throughout the world. It
was left to Henry Phillips, Jr., Of
Philadelphia, to decipher the mysteri-
Gus inscription, which he found rep
resented the words, "Harkussen Men
Vara" (Harki's son addressed the
mem.
Searching through ancient writings,
Mr.. Phillips found that In an expedi-
ton of Norsemen which left Green
land In the year 1907. the name Of
Harki occurred. This expedition,
consisting Of 100 men in two ships
under the leadership Of Thorfnn

lilly lace outlines the fiange Of leg
horn where it is set on to the chiffon,
and the underbrim is faced with chif-
fon which allows the black lace to
show through. The round crown is
set on the brim without a band.
A beautiful wreath of moss roses
and buds and an occasional huge pansy
blossom make up the decoration of the
crown. They are wonderful copies of
the natural flowers. A bow of wide
velvet ribbon with long hanging ends
is tackled against the underbrim at
the back. A spray of the moss rose
buds and a single pansy make up a
bouquet that is sewed to the long ends
of velvet about midway of their
length.
This is an elegant example of the
picturesque in millinery which is car
ried well by women of the type Of Miss
Stonehouse or other tall, youthful
wearers to whom large hats are be-
coming. Those who possess leghorns
are fortunate; they are in great de-
mand and are among the easiest of
hats to reblock or remodel as may be
desired.

THE WORD HE'LL.
A Little Book That Contains Some
Startling information.

A little book selling at only five cents,
postpaid, is having a very wide circula-
tion-running up into the millions. 1t con-
tains some very startling information re-
specting the meaning of the word Hell. 1t
claims to demonstrate, both from the He
brew and the Greek of our Bible, that
He'll is not place of eternal torment,
but merely another name for the Tomb,
the Grave, the State of Death. 1t affects
to show that man was not redeemed from
far-off place of eternal torture, but
quotes the Scriptures proving that he was
redeemed from the Grave at the cost of
his Redeemer's Life and that the Scrip
tural Hope, both for the Church and the
World, is a resurrection hope based upon
the death and resurrection of Jesus. The
book is certainly worth the reading. The
information it furnishes is certainly val
liable, fer beyond its triflng cost. Order
1t at once from the Bible and Tract So.

alluded to In the TIMES:
A certain person having charg-

to the small bill allowed by the
county commissioners last fall we
have only this to say: The bill
was presented in good faith,
was according to precedent, was
passed upon by the county attor-
ney and the commissioners and
was, We believe, only fair and
just. If, however, the present
board of county commissioners
and the county attorney decide
that an error was made and that
the money should be returned this
Will be done, without either en-
barrassment or humiliation"

Is most worrying Grandma at the
present time. Had the charge and
demand been made by an UNCER-
TAIN person it would not worry
him in the least. Again, he seems
to take comfort i'm it's being "small

call his attention to the fact that
1t is within 80 cents of the largest
amount under investigation in the

Wrong is not always measured by
the amount wrongfully obtained, but
the desire to wrongfully obtain, as
shown by the manner of obtaining is
the more disgraceful. The statement
that the bill was presented in good
faith is not for one moment tena-
bile. Complicated questions often
arise that require judges and juries
to decide, but when man contracts
to print all notices of any county Of
