Moore Said to Have Been Assured of Post at St. James for Valiant Work In Behalf of Roosevelt.- CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 15. (Spe cial.) Lillian Russell, Ambassadress at the Court of St. James. This is the rola that the "most beau tiful blond" of the operatic stage will fill, if Colonel .. Roosevelt is elected President in November. At least this is the report that comes from a well authenticated source and reached the ears of the Cleveland Bull Moose. rs to day. The report goes on to say that the Ambassadorship at the Court of St. James has been promised Alexander P. Moore, who happens to be the hus band of the fair Lillian, as a reward for his valiant work -on behalf of the Progressive party, if Roosevelt is elected President. - Mr. Moore, as editor of the Pittsburg Leader, has been a hard worker in the Roosevelt ranks for many months. For nothing less desirable than a social reign over the embassy at Lon don, It was said at the time of her marriage (the fourth), would the most beautiful blond in America relinquish her musical triumphs. The embassy at London was not even in sight when Lillian Russell married Moore at Pitts- I eurg this Summer. She said then: 'At present I am enjoying life to its fullest. Never have I been happier; never has the future seemed rosier than it does today." gave precedence to Cleveland, some of its ambitious newspaper writers de clared it to be the "Paris of America." But the witty George D. Prentice, who then dominated Kentucky journalism, insisted that if there were any Paris in the makeup of the "Queen City" it was plaster of parts, and that settled the matter. There can never be in the United States a real Paris of America until we shall get ranks and orders of nobility, and that will only be when our repub lic shall develop Into a grand imperial nation. Under a newly acquired em peror a titled class would follow as a matter of course, and the easiest way to get it would be to sell the titles. Ten million dollars would buy a duke dom, five million the title of count and one million that of a baron. In the be ginnlngs of Old World nobility titles were granted by the sovereign lor emi nent services, but when such a system is started in a great country like ours the simplest way would be to estab lish an aristocracy of wealth. Until then our great metropolitan cities will never- be more than mere centers of business and capital. Declination Comes at Last Moment. Sop to Convention, He Says. Second Justice Then TVeds Young Persons. LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Sept. 15. (Spe cial.) Consternation reigned in the beautiful Pasadena home of Marion FostervWashburne, author and lecturer, today when Justice Robert W. Mc Donald flatly declined to marry Carlo ton W. Washburne. son of the bouse. to Miss Helius Chandler, daughter of Julia- Davis Chandler, the Philadelphia authoress, because of the sensationa.1 marriage contract which the young people had signed. The Justice had agreed to perform the ceremony and came to the house to do so, but at the last minute he re fused, saying he would not be a party to a- marriage which was avowedly not a bond on either party and which was entered into only as a sort of a sop to convention. The young people got Justice W. M. Northrup to tie the knot. The marriage contract and the sign ers of it were the subjeets of severe Criticism by Los Aiigeles pastors today. Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher. pastor of Temple Baptist Church, said it cannot be carried out without violating both moral and criminal law. "It Is cowardly," said Rev. J. A. Gles- slnger, of the University Methodist Church. "Essentially immoral," was the com ment of Rev. J. M. Ferguson, of St i aul a.

It completes my chain of newspapers covering five big cities oi the East Boston. New York, Phila delphia, Baltimore and Washington. On several occasions I have tried to buy the Press, but always without success until now." Mr. Munsey then says that the present staff of the paper will remain the same, with Ervin Wardman as editor-in-chief. PARIS IS STILL A MECCA Tourists Love to Hobnob With Folk of Rank and Title. New Orleans Picayune. It is not merely pleasure-seeking or a desire for study and culture that draws our' people to European travel and residence, but the opportunity given for the people of a democratic republican country to associate on terms of social equality with persons of hereditary rank and privilege, and even if one is extremely rich and is a great captain of capital, like Mr. Mor gan and some others, to hobnob with kings and emperors. From time to time some of our American cities have aspired to the position of Paris as a specially pleasure resort, and years ago. when Cincinnati was the chief city in Ohio, before it VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 15. (Spe cial.) A woman was saved from drowning this afternoon in Buchmeir's Slough by Bert Yates, when she came up the third time. The hero did not learn her name. Mr. Yates was fishing from a scow when the woman, with her baby and husband, rowed up in a light skiff. The woman got out of the skiff and attempted to walk a narrow plank to C. E. De Long's place to get some milk for her child. The plank slipped and the woman fell into ten feet of water. Mr. Yates attempted to save her with the plank, but, being unable to do so, he dropped on his stomach, and, reach ing far out, was -able to grasp the drowning woman's wrist as she bobbed up on the surface after having been under the water three' times. He was able to hold her head above water until the horrified husband, a short distance away, could reach them in the skiff. The father was also compelled ta-care for the baby, to keep him from falling out of the boat while he was assisting in pulling his wife from the water. The strong wind made this a difficult task, as the skiff was blown around like a cork on the waves. SCH00LGIRLAN ATHLETE Five Years Xellie Stockwell, Aged 13, Has Been Champion. i London Corr. For the fifth year in succession Rotherhithe girl has won the sports championship of the London Co.uncil Council schools in South London. Nellie Stockwell is 13 and the daugh ter of the keeper of the Rotherhithe mortuary. He latest trophy was the championship medal won at the school athletic meeting, where she was first in six events and second in four others. She won the championship first when she was 9, and has secured it every year since, although the girl competi tors have numbered more than 1700 each time. "I don't train in any special way," she said. "My father gives me plenty of sugar and I have running exercises, but that Is all." Besides her sports trophies Nellie has a first-class swimming certificate, and until recently she was captain of the net ball team of her school. Also she can show five medals for good conduct and attendance. Up to now she has captured 31 prizes of different kinds. Walls That Hide Sounds. Experiments have recently been car ried out In Germany with the object of discovering methods and means for ren dering walls and ceilings capable of effective resistance to sound transmis sion. One of the more recently devised methods involves the use under the ceiling, or parallel to the wall, as the case may be, of a network of wire stretched tightly by means of pulleys secured into adjacent walls and not touching at any point the surface to be protected against sound. - Upon the wire network is plastered composition formed of strong glue, plaster of paris and granulated cork, so as to make a flat slab, between which and the wall or ceiling is a cushion of confined air. The method described is said to be good in two respects: First, the .absence of contact . between tie protective and protected surfaces, and. secondly, the colloid nature of the com position recommended for the plaster. FOPPISHNESS LONDON FAD Jewelry and Perfume Important in Man's Clothing Today. LONDON, Sept. 14. (Special.) A new rasnion of fODDishness is being adopted by ultra-smart men in London. They are becbmlng wearers of jewelry iixe women. Their money Is carried in tiny chain purses of a fine gold mesh; the softest of silken collars which grace their necks are held together by brooches decorated with a pearl or twisted in a love knot; a wrist-watch on one arm Is balanced by a bangle or a close-fitting bracelet on the other arm, and quite recently a waistcoat was seen set off by a locket-pendant hanging around the wearer's neck. Then there are the new gold knobbed sticks, chased and embossed, completing the outfit, and carried with a certain deHcate style that forces at tention. A gold ring on the first fin ger of one hand and another on the third finger of the other hand, each conspicuous with a sparkling diamond, are also features of the modern appa ratus of male display. It is the essence of style to vary one's combination of jewelry according to one's dress. A special kind of silk openwork sock goes with the topaz collar pin. A pearl and diamond tie-pin must be balanced by a short leather watchchain, hanging down out of the left-hand waistcoat pocket and finished with a gold fob. perhaps the male evening aress oi the future will include the tiara. Cer tainly these ultra-smart men should not neglect the possibilities of the shoe-buckle. And there is a new fern inlne fashion which might be recom mended to them the wearing of the single earring. The hair is brought deeply down almost over one ear, and very long, barbaric pendant adorns the other ear. The new Adonis ought not to allow himself to be beaten by women In this matter. Let him .quick ly adopt this extraordinary fashion. He has a perfect right to do so, lor wo men have copied him disgracefully. They walk about swinging bulky cig arette cases that might almost house a dozen cigars, while men draw from the silken pocket of their evening dress the slimmest cases, holding, per haDS. three scented and gold - tipped cigarettes, on which their initials are llehtlv stamped. Women have begun to carry sticks, so men might as well take to the tall parasol which has become so lasnion able of late. "just "The S In the Wiley B.

WOMEN HELP PREFERRED Librarians In London Find Female Assistants 3Iost Serviceable. LONDON, Aug. 31. (Special.) Some of the prejudice against the employ ment of women in responsible executive posts In Londan libraries is being broken down. The borough of Wands worth is beginning to blaze the trail through the rank ' undergrowth of prejudice that so far has debarred wo men from appointments In the large libraries, in spite of the fact that they are doing useful work in the smaller institutions. Eignt oui oi nine metro polltan libraries in Wandsworth where women are employed have declared In favor of women assistants, and the borough council now intends to appoint women to vacancies as tney occur in their various libraries. A well-known librarian even goes so far as to assert that 'the public prefer the woman assistant, characterizing her as more courteous and more tactful than her male compeer, who is too oft en apt to assume the manners peculiar to the Jack-in-oince. rne patn oi tne woman librarian is likely to be still furth'er smoothed if there is a good re. sponse to the invitation of the educa tion committee of the Library Associa tion extended to the public to enter for courses of lectures on literary history and bibliography. The wider the knowl edge of the proper use of books among readers, the easier will become the work of librarians, much of whose time Is occupied in answering elementary Questions. But even If other public libraries copy the example set by Wadsworth. there is not likely to be a great rush by women for appointments, owing to the low scale of pay prevailing and the small hope of advancement. 1 A Point in Verbalism.

The story of a man's love for his wife and his willing ness to sacrifice himself that she might have the mate she loved, was told in the courtroom of Municipal Judge Fry yesterday. ' James E. Carabine, his wife, Stella Ruth, and Oscar Galley, the other man. were the principals. Mrs. uaraoine had been married to Galley without first obtaining a divorce. She was charged with bigamy and he with liv ing with her. "Judge," said the lawful husband, "I don't want to prosecute them. I love the woman and I don t want to see her go to jail. I am 42 years old. She is only 44. Galley is 26 and they love each other. I wasn't good enough for her. Judge: I never made her happy. I am willing she should get a divorce and marry this man." While the speech came from his Hps the woman slowly rose to her feet and clung to the man she had chosen. Galley, too, was crying and spec tators viewed the scene in sympathetic astonishment. Judge Fry said he would plea of Carabine under advisement. While the two prisoners were being taken back to their cells Carabine pleaded with the Judge to reduce their bonds and was successful. Then he engaged the services of a professional bondsman and had the -couple released. residing in Polk and Benton Counties. She had lived in Albany most of the time for the last 12 years. She is survived by one son, H. P. Alderson, of this city. Milwaukie Schools Show Gain. 1 MILWAUKIE. Or., Sept. 15. (Spe cial.)
