(Special.) An American a;lrt. In the role of a modern Helen, has trained the prize In Eng land as me "ITettlest Peeress." This woman Is Viscountess Maidstone, who waa Miss Marsraretta Drexel. of I'htladelpbla. and who will be Countess of Wlnchelsea. By the Knerllsh press and public she has been adjudfted the loveliest peeress In Great Britain. It was In connection with the coro nation event that serious attention waa srlren to the discussion as to who would be acclaimed the loveliest wo man of title at the creat functions. And the verdict la In favor of an Ameri can sjlrl. It will be recalled that In th early rtrlhood of Marsaretta Drexel. John 8. Percent, the painter, pronounced her and her brother. Armstrong Drexel. the handsomest younrtsters In London, sad It la noted that. In her maturity, she Is as lovely as she was when Sar srenl paid her that compliment. IVcauty Title Sustained. Lady MalJstone la still In ber early 3s. and a glimpse of ber In Bond street awakens th belief that ah may well be called a modern Helen and that she will rank hlarh with the his torical beauties of the world. The Viscountess Maidstone has prob ably been more written about, mora hia-hty praised for her beauty and more pursued by titled persons of Europe than any other American -!rl for many years. She Is the only It vine daughter of Anthony J. Drexol. of lb famous Thllad-lphla banklntr family, who mar ried Marraretta Armstrong, one of tha handsomest women ever born In Balti more. Miss Drevel's romlnr out dance was held in Carlton House Terrace. London. July . 1907. The cables described It as one of the blgirest affairs of the season.

The V!eountees career In London so ciety hss been brilliant rnoua-h to sat isfy th utmost desire of a socially am bitious American alrl or her proud mother. Both Kin and Queen com mented on her loveliness when she, made her Initial appearance In Eng lish socle'y. and as she passed In the ITestlee eVamber In her sweeping Ivory draperies at Buckingham Palace.Later when V1 presentations wer . over Queen Alexandra, who la a great ad mirer of feminine beauty, came ap to Varcarrtta and said.

How beau tiful you are" TARIFF DILEMMA FACED fort;mned rr"m first believe, that the Senate would consent to a reasonable reduction In the duty on wooL whereas It would reject a bill placing wool on the free list. The wool schedule occupies a unique position In the House. There are only four Democrats In th House from the West, the great wool section, and there fore the wool-producing stat s have vir tually no vole in shaping n bill mooiry- Ing schedule K. The Republicans from th wool-growing states are helpless be cause they are in the mlrforlty. and the programme laid out at the Democratic caucus will be put through, no matter what It mav be. Virtually the entire Democratic representation In the House come from the South, the East and the Mississippi Valley, and few of those states are Interested In preserving i high duty on raw wool. Their Interest rather. Is In the opposite ulrectlon. New England and aome of the other Eastern states wsnt free rsw wool, as they want other free raw materials for their fac tortes. but object to a great reduction In the duty on manufactures of wool. It l a esse where the advocates of freo raw materials are In the overwhelming majority, and are deterred only by Senate that will not assent to a pro gramme such aa they would like to put through. West Strong In Upper Body. Any bill amending the wool schedule. In order to get the approval of the Sen ate, must reduce the duties on wool manufactures as well as on raw wool, and no bill placing raw wool on the free list can get through the present Senate. The West la notoriously weak In tha present House, but in the Senate It I powerfully strong; strong enouch to fore the House to come to reasonable terms. The West is strong In the Senate, not numerically, but because of the indi viduality of some of Its members. And this Is still true, thouch some of the Western Senators are nonentities, with out Influence. The Western Senators who are strong are exceptionally strong, and this mere handful will hold up any radical pro gramme of the House, If that body should break away from th control of Its leaders. S.MITHSOXIAX FJS1IIBIT TO OF HISTORIC VALVE. BE would meet certain defeat In the Senate, the Democrats voting for that blU would derlv little credit for their action, for they would not be accomplishing any thing. On the other hand. If the House pastes a bill reducing the duty on wool, and then refuse to adjourn until the Senate takes a rot on that bllL there) Is a chance of making son substantial progress with their tariff campaign, for there Is a decided possibility that under such circumstances the Senata might accept a reduction. Senate Mag Consent. President Taft himself haa admitted that toe wool acbedul should be modi fed, and there are many Republican Senators of like opinion. While no poll baa yet been taken, ther are many who Process Invented -hy Dairuerre Is SU1I Regarded as Superior to Modern Methods. WASHINGTON'. May St. (Special.) 1 nomas w. Smlllle. official photo grapher of th Smithsonian Institu tion, is preparing an exhibit of photo graphs which, when completed, will Illustrate the development of the pho- tograpnic art rrom the time or the dis covery of th first process by the Frenchman. N'elpce. In 1S24. Mr. Smlllie has been connected with the Smithsonian Institution since ISr.g and Is regarded as one of the foremost photographers In th country. He la the Inventor of th process of photo graphing on wood, and the author of many booka and pamphlets. Perhaps th most Interesting plctarea of the collection are two daguerreotypes of Daguerre himself. On of th pho tographa of tha Inventor of th most perfect method of photography was lent for th collection by Mrs. Vallentlne, of New York, while the other was pre sented to theaNatlnnal Museum bv Mr. Cramer, of St. Louis. He paid ijoo for It. Mr. Smlllie la of the opinion that th daguerreotype method has never been excelled. Even the most modern and up-to-date methods, he asserts, do not produce the fineness and satisfac tory results obtained by the old slow and cumbersome method on the silver plate. Th picture is toned with gold, thus producing a wonderful clearness, likeness and detail that have defied the march of progress and Invention. Ureal headway la now being made In developing color photography. Mr. Smlllie has been signally successful In this line of endeavor, and th results produced by him will be of unusual Interest. Th exhibit will contain more than 300 "models' pertaining to photography, transferred from the United States Patent Office perma nently. Mr. Smlllie regards as one of hi most important accomplishments in photography th aeries of photographs taken of the solar eclipse in 1100 at Wadesboro. N. C Thea photograph are regarded as among th most re markable ever taken. Eight negatives were secured with the 135-foot tele scope, 11 with a 40-foot telescope and others, all of which will be shown.
