PROMISE IS KEPT.
BY FAMOUS
BEAUTY
Peggis Gillespie, Noted Figure
in Paris, WedS on Her
Deathbed.

PITTSBURG, August ll.-In Paris
fe wyoars ago thero died Mt tho age
OF "a years ono Of the most romantic
characters OF France an American
girl. PcggIc Gillespie by name. who
began life In tho little Pennsylvania
city of Punxsutawuoy. Even her end
was spectacular, for on hor doathbcd
sho married Henry LctellIcr one of
the woalthIes Of Trenchmon.
A Model of Fnshion.
Peggy Gillespie spent most of her
early life in Pittsburg, where she
was married to George McClellNnd
But several years ago she went to
Paris and Immediately became a
pOrmnent figure in society and on
the race courses For long tImo
she was the model of fashion, and did
much to set the styles of women 3
dresses in Europe and America. Be-
cause Of her Extravaganza and daring
.ccentriCitics she was described by a.
French wrOtcr as ranking with the
reckless beauties of tho second en-
pirc.
But MS long ago as 1909 clOud
began to shadow her life. When a
Consultation of physicians was called
to consider her health. It was found
that she was a victim of tuberculosis
She was ordered to tho south OF
France. and at lIyercs she lived for
4 Star in tho World of Fashion
a time in tent with special
kitchen, two motor cars and a train
OF servants. But she did not stay
long away from Paris.
For years little PegEie Gillespie,
by her wit and charm and the dash
with which she dressed, set pace
which other glttering women of the
French capital found difficult to lol
low. Wherever there was u gather
ing Of beauty and fashion, Peggy Gil
lespie was there. outshinning others
like star. Her entertainments in
her sumptuous apartments in this
Avenue Henri Martin wcro famous,
aud she numbered among her ne
Quaintances many of the highest tile
and distinction in Europe, When the
war broke out she plunged into char
Ity and relief work.
Shortly after she had consented TO
marry Letelller she began to yield TO
the fatal disease she had fought for
so long. When the doctors annOmc
ed that death was near she tried 10
break the engagement, but LetellIer
finally persuaded her to become his
wife before she died.

CUBAN CONGRESS
IS DOING NOTHING
dent has indicated his intention {,

dent has indicated his intention to
veto in case it passes the Senate.
1t appears probable that Congress,
while not transacting any business,
will remain theoretically in session
until after the elections in Novem-
Der. The reason is that the members
hold. by curious Interpretation Of
the constitution, that their congress
sional immunity from arrest extends
TO all civil and criminal ofenses so
long as the body remains in session.
Representatives of British oil inter
ests in Mexico are here for the pur-
pose, is said, OF influencing the pas
sage Of legislation for the admission
Of petroleum into Cuba free OF duty.
AS Congress is unlikely to transact
any business until the election is
over, it is improbable that there will
be any discussion Of the proposition
until the next session.

"Dog"
Laws Wanted
By SheepMen
Convention to BE Held Soon
to Frame Up Proposed
Measures.

Sheep raising in West Virginia will
be encouraged in the years TO como
through tho activities OF the farmers
and the county agricultural agents
in the state. They intend to got be-
hind concerted movement TO have
tho next legislature enact some sort
of a law which will protect sheep own
crs from losses caused by dogs. Tho
present dog law which is never en-
forced is at its best inadequate. Kama
wha county each year pays out moro
for lost sheep than the tax on dogs
brings in. This is the case in almost
all counties in the state, hut relief
from such a condition is not far be-
You'd the horizon.
Scaycngcr ours win be eliminated in
all mining towns il the bill which will
he framed and got ready for the next
legislature is to follow the wording
Of the Washington county, Pa, law
which was enacted by the Pcnnsyl-
yana legislature in 1915, and a like
ness of which tho sheep owners Of
this state viii TRY to have drawn up
Tho Pennsylvania act provides for
dogs to he licensed at $1.5O each for
male and So each for female and fur
Their provides that no person not a
citizen of tho United States shall b0
permitted to own dog Thus tho
non.dcscript diseased eur of tho min
ing town loses its home. Sheep own
crns claim that they lose more sheep
from these mining village dogs than
from any other cause and they feel
that as West Virginia smOre than well
supplied with mine settlements, law
should be made about that limo.
In Kanawha county alone sheep
raIscrs last year sustained heavy
loss in sheep which died from the Of
fecs OF having been torn by dogs
And other counties in the state suf-
rorcd Likewise though in various pro-
portions. The Washington county
law also provides that after a license
wear opens a list shall be made and
thirty days later published. Upon tho
publication of this notice all dogs
which have not been licensed are de-
clarcd outlaws and all constablcs
state and local officers have orders to
execute the death sentence on them,
Citizens are instructed TO notify the
authorities Of any case where con-
stable fails to do his duty.
The license tag on a dog which may
be killed is always necessary under
the Washington county law before
damages can be obtained. Should a
dog not tagged be killed the owner has
no recourse inasmuch as the act pro-
vidCs that no dog is property unless 1t
be Jagged. Many farmers have in
tImated that If there is law pro-
teclIng them from tho ravages Of
sheep-killing dogs they will raise
more sheep and Others who have long
given up the industry because of the
IayIty of the county officers in en-
forcing the law. admit that they will
buy Oxfords, ShropshIres and other
pure breeds Of sheep and make this
state more OF sheep raising center
than II has been for many years.
The sheep raisers Of thirty-four
counties will have get-together niece
within the next month or so and Sc
cure the services Of some lawyer who
will be asked to frame dog law
worth while. and to try to have I'll
passed by the legislature.
