Dorothy Russell, 34 Today, Victim of
 Disease and Drugs

One of the many pitifuE and tragic incidents of the New York crusade against habit-forming drugs was the recent arrest of. Dorothy Russell, the once popular actress and daughter of Lillian Russell, on the charge of alter ing 2. physicians prescriptio to make it include morphine. Miss Russell was born thirty-four years aEo today, the daughter of Lillian Russell ands the late Edward Solomon, an orches- tra leader She early decided to adopt the profession of her famous mother, andy after years of preparation made her first stage appearance at the age of twenty-tWo with Amelia Bingham in "Clympe', at the Knickerbocker seen in @"Fhe Ruling Power and was very successful in tHThe Girl from kag's." She spent many years on the vaudeville stage, until broken health forced her retirem ent.
 Miss Russell married Abbott L. Einstein, the son of a New York law yer. in 1903, but divorced him three years later, and she is now, the wife of Edward D. O'Rei11y, a Pittsburgh broker. Miss Russell, according to her attorney, had undergone seven operations and was about to have an
 other when she was arrested on the charge of forging a prescription. In court the once popular actress seem ed but a shadow of her former self.
 Her mother, Lillian Russell, was the daughter of an Iowa couptry edf- tor. Her first husband ws1s Harry Braham, the musical director of the "Pinafore'' company in which Miss Russell made her stage debut. She was divorced by Brahan, and, four
 days later, became the hride of Ed ward So1oman, the leader of the
 Casino orchestra in New York MT. Soloman. the father of Dorothy Rus sell took his wife to England, where
 he wrote two operas for her While
 in London Solomon was claimed as
 husband by Li1lie Grey, a music hall singer, and Miss Russell gave him up without a struggle and returned to America. In 1894 Miss Russell was
 married to Giova1ni Perugini. the tenor of the Princess Nicotine com 4 pany; and she Is now Mrs Moore, the wife of Pittsburgh newspaper pub l fisher

 DOG ND LIQUOR AGENT
 Thomas F. White, the Democratic caucus nominee for dog and liquor agent who was to have been elected at the next meeting of the Common council has. decided not to accept the position, and a caucus has been call ed for tomorrow night when another candidate will be named. MT. White found that he could not attend to the duties of the offices without neglect ing his business.
 The caucus will probably make choice of Gottfried Laubscher as sue cessor to MT. White As the name of the man will be left with the Fifth ward, Alderman Thomas Farrell will present MT. Whites declination to the caucus and nominate MT. Laubscher. The latter will no doubt be chosen.

WHY ITALY HAS HEsrrATED

In Italy there are. many people who have predicted that we shall one day we will be obliged to choose between our. alliances and our frienships.''
 These are the words of Signor Tom maso Tittoni, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, in his speech to the Chamber of Deputies in 1906.
 He could not then, of course, sat isfys those who made this prediction by saying what Italy's choice would be but he admitted the possibility in his next sentence;
 -wel1, as long as the Trip1eS Ali ance will continue in the peaceful role which is its characteristic, so long as the Powers are our friends will persevere in the peaceful policy they are now following, we shall not have to choose or decide.'
 The inference is plain. If the other members of+ the Triple Alliance, or the nations Italy calls friends, did not l keep the peace she could make her choice between them The terms of the | Triple Alliance bound Italy to go to the aid of Austria-Hungary or Ger many if they were attacked by a con tinentaI power. But if Germany or the Dual Monarchy were the aggressorss Italy was not bound to go to their as sistance. Moreover it was expressly 1 stipulated that in no event was Italy i to be forced into war with England The Alliance, therefore amounted to binding Italy to help Germany and Austria if they were attacked by Rus sia and France
 l But Italy had another and more important set of foreign relations. In this same speech, and on many other occasions. Signor Tittoni stated the cardinal principles of Ita1y's foreign policy;
 .sTo maintain and consolidate the I Triple Alliance. to maintain and con so1idate our friendship with France and England.''
 The extreme care with which, year after year, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs reinterated the equal importance of their alliance and their Friendships were also an indication that the Italian Government did. not consider itself exclusively bound to the Alliance. It considered as equal 1y important it's agreements with France and England, agreements which have large measure been lost sight of in the American discussion of the Italian position.

BOTH THE FEDERAL AND STATE
WEATHER BUREAUS ISSUE
CROP SUMMARIES.

The weekly summary of weather
and crop conditions over the cotton
growing state, for the week ended
Tuesday, issued today by the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
by the Vicksburg branch of the Wealth.
er Bureau, states that conditions have
not been ideal for cotton growing.
The federal summary says:
Over most of the cotton belt, the
week was again unfavorable. In the
Carolinas and Arkansas, the crop
shows deterioration from too much
moisture and cool cloudy weather,
while open cotton was damaged by
high winds in portions of Florida and
Alabama.
In Oklahoma, the crop made fall
growth, but is very late, and opening
slowly, while in Texas but little
change is noted, the growth of the late
crop being Offset by hollis falling off or
opening prematurely, and weevils are
still active.
In Louisiana, the crop made good
progress, and conditions are some
what improved in Mississippi.
Picking is progressing in most sec.
lions of the belt.
In Florida, citrus fruit was improv.
ed by good showers. Fall planting is
progressing in most Southern truck
ing districts.
The Vicksburg summary says:
The week opened too cool, but be-
came seasonable before the close.
There was practically no rainfall, this
condition being favorable for hay max
ing, which is under way, and for cot
ton picking which is now general.
The condition of cotton is improved,
but deterioration is not entirely
checked.
In the southern portion, rain is
needed for corn. peas, cane, truck and
pastures, as well as for fall blowing
and planting which have been delayed
by the dry condition of the soil.

the Biloxi reunion. General Webb
has taken up this proposition with
the passenger departments of all rail-
roads operating in Mississippi and in
the majority of cases has received

The reduced rate, if secured, means
that the reunion at Biloxi will be the
