VESTA VICTORIA'S LOVER
Offers Marriage and Fortune if She
Will Abandon Stage, but She
loves Art More Good Yarn
Eagerly Swallowed.
(Special Cab, to the Central . News and
The Oregonian.)
LONDON. July 21. That an Ameri
can Press agent is in London is an
assured fact, but his identity at pres
ent Is a mystery. English actors and
actresses have been thankful enough
to receive a few solid paragraphs
about their doings occasionally or at
the very most an illustrated interview
telling about their home" life and chil
dren or pets or fads. The news story
of the press agent, until a few weeks
ago, was entirely unknown. " Now
London has had a rush of them.
One actress had fortune- left her
by an old uncle In California. An
other was given a Klondike claim
years ago by an admirer. It has panned
out with tons of virgin gold. The
old stolen Jewelry story was twice
worked and the valuable dog stolen
has bobbed up once. Then a leading
actor had a million left him by an
Australian whose life he saved while
paddling in the waves of the English
Coney Island. But the money can
not yet be found, so the aetor is still
only spending his regular salary.
The latest yarn concerns Vesta Vic
toria, the music hall singer, and it
has taken Immensely and has been a
front page story. The yarn goes this
way: Vesta is suddenly shocked on
opening her morning mall to And a
letter from a firm of lawyers offering
her marriage on behalf of a client
whose identity is not revealed. This
client has a nephew. Both nephew
and uncle admire Vesta. The nephew
does not know her, but wants to marry
her. If she will consent the uncle will
settle a quarter of a million dollars
on her. But there Is a P. S. If she
marries she must leave the stage. This
P. S. is her loophole. She cannot aban
don her art even for such a fortune.
Putting art first allows her to say
plaintively: "With a womanly last
thought for the rejected lover, etc."
The letters are published in full and
also interviews with Vesta and the
lawyers. It is of course legitimate
publicity for the lawyers as well as
the actress. And the public and the
newspapers swallowed It whole and
are waiting for more. Now that the
American Press agent has got his
typewriter working they will assured
ly have all they want.
WANTS A NEW IITJSBAXD.
Dutch Anxious for Heir to Beloved
WHlielinina. - r
(Special Cable to the Central News and
The Oregon ian.)
THE HAGUE, July 21. The ap
proaching accouchement of the youth
ful Queen of Holland has again
caused great excitement throughout
the country. The Dutch love Wilhel
mlna and are very anxious to see the
old house of Orange-Nassau have an
other descendant. Despite che opera
tion performed a year or more ago the
Queen's advisers are very anxious
about her health. She is not robust,
and the old symptoms have reappeared.
There is grave danger that the na
tional hope for an heir to the throne
will not be realized. The medical ex
perts of Kurope have been summoned
and a groat consultation Is to be held
as soon as possible.
A goodly number of the Dutch blame
the Prince consort for all the trouble,
and one paper, published purely for
the masses, has printed a suggestion
that if no heir appears this time the
Queen be divorced and married to
some other prince. This suggestion
has become very popular and even
Cabinet Ministers are said to favor it.
The Prince Consort, however. Is a stal
wart and healthy young man. and Is
very much In love with his Queen, as
she Is with him, so there Is litle chance
of a divorce, even for state reasons.
It Is well known that on the last
occasion, when a Caesarian operation
was performed, the doctors said .they
could save either the mother or the
child, and the Prince Consort demand
ed the life of the mother be saved
or he would shoot the surgeons. The
queen mother also declared In favor
of her daughter, although Wilhelmina
herself begged for the child.
AS HEADY TO BIAME AS PRAISE
English Newspapers Alternately
Abuse and Flatter Americans.
(Special Cable to the Central News and
The Oregonian.)
LONDON, July 21. The news of the
day causes quick changes. A remark
able inscance of this Is given in the
Knglish newspapers last week. One
day the editorial columns were tilled
with the most terrible abuse of the
United States and everything Ameri
can because of the revelations In the
Thaw murder case. The next day, on
account of the deplorable acldent to
the American line train at Salisbury,
the same columns were filled with
wonderful sympathetic words of praise
for America and Americans.
The papers certainly did not spare
Thaw. He is called a degenerate of
the worst type, a cold-blooded mur
derer and yet a typical American of
American "society." One leading paper
speaks as follows at the end of a long
editorial:
"The wealth of America is in the
hands of the unscrupulous employers
of a ruined protein rlat or in those of
their degenerate children. The wealth
of a country means its power and the
poVer "of America is not wielded by
Its worthy citizens, but by a callous
or frivolous and drug-drinking set of
millionaires to whom Providence has
given money presumably in order to
show that it must be despised. And
ns we notice all this, we wonder what
" will become of America."
TRAGEDY FOLLOWS WEDDING

Former Marriage In Revenge.
(Special Cable to the Central News and
The Oregonian.)
ROME. July 21. The wedding of a
pretty Sicilian widow. Slgnora Doria,

tragedy. .. The wedding party was
about to leave the church. On her
way to the door the bride stopped
and mounted some steps to a little
side chapel In order to kiss her two
children by a former marriage. Sud
denly an agonizing wail ' was heard.
The bridegroom rushed up the steps,
and saw his wife in a swoon beside
her two children, whose throats. were
cut.
Suspicion fell on Tina Andrina,: a
former sweetheart of the bridegroom.
She was arrested and confessed that
she had killed the children during the
marriage ceremony in order to avenge
herself on the man who had aban
doned her and on the woman who had
supplanted, her.

The Oregonian.)

life. It was the next morning that he
visited the police, for he had found him
self penniless. The police visited a flat
on the Rue des Fetes and there found the

against the Intrusion and Insisted on her
innocence of any wrongdoing. But the po
lice searched the flat.

the lady had a wooden leg. She was made
to take it off, and the police found it was
hollow and had been transformed into a
portable safe. The butcher's banknotes
for $1200 and 200 In gold were deposited
inside the artificial leg. The lady went
to Jail.
RESULT OF DOCTORS' NEGLECT
While They . Fight Duel About
Diagnosis, Patient Recovers. .
(Special Cable to the Central . News and
The Oregonian.)
VIENNA, July 21. While his two doc
tors were fighting a duel because they
disagreed over the diagnosis of his case,
Bruno Rungi, an aged and wealthy re
tired merchant, recovered and was able
to visit the doctors in hospital, for they
had both been wounded.
When Mr. Rungi fell ill, ' his family
hastily summoned the nearest physician.
Later the family doctor arrived. The lat
ter promptly threw out of the window
all the medicines already ordered, and did
the patient up in hot bandages and poul
tices. Next morning in came the first
doctor. He was wild with rage at what
had been done. A consultation was de
manded and agreed on. The two doctors
squabbled In front of the patient, who at
last said that he did not- much care which
doctor attended him. Both could if they
liked, but he would only pay the one who
cured him.-
The doctors thereupon challenged each
other and fought a duel with swords. Both
were wounded and were conveyed to the
same hospital. Mr. Rungi has visited
them there. He offered to divide the legal
fee between them and they have accepted.

tition. OLD BOOK REVEALS FORTUNE

Costs Few Shillings.
ISpecial Cable to the Central News and
The Oregonian.)

a lover of old books and he spends
his time and money at second-hand
bookstalls. The other day he picked
up an old edition of Milton for a few
shillings and went home rejoicing. A

joicing, for Mr. Long discovered an
old document In the book written in
Latin which told of a treasure, hidden
in an old house in Greenwich.

right house and interviewed the occu
pant. The subsequent search revealed

PARIS. July 21. At the last sitting of
the Begiers Municipal Council, a heated

and Receiver of the Land Office for the

tries for lands in the ceded portion of the
Shoshone reservation at Shoshone, Wyo.,
from August 15 to October 3. 1906, instead
of at Lander, as provided in the procla
mation of June 2. This action was based
upon the fact that the railroad now build

FOREMAN MILER SUSPENDED
Trouble Breaks Out Again in Gov
ernment Printing Office.
WASHINGTON, July 21. (Special.)
W. A. Miller, assistant foreman of the
bindery of the Government Printing
Office, who was responsible for the
famous Roosevelc order of July 13,
1903, applying the open shop principle
to the Government Printing Office, has
i
BONDS
been suspended by the Public Printer,
Charles A. Stillings, on charges of in
subordination and insolence, growing
out of his - refusal to carry out the
order of Acting Foreman H F. Ashein
to puiNcertain men to work.
On May 14. 1903, Miller was sus
pended by the then Public Printer,
Palmer, on the ground that he was
not a member of a labor union. The
suspension was revoked on July 13 by
President Roosevelt, who held It was
not necessary for an employe of the
Government to get a working card in
a union, and that no union could dic
tate to the Government whom it should
employ. Labor troubles were threat
ened at the time, but better counsel
prevailed.
Mr. Stillings will Investigate before
taking final action.
PAY IN SILVER ON CANAL.
West. Indian Negroes Starve Rather
.Than Spend Gold.
PANAMA, July 21. Henceforth the
Panama Canal Commission will pay all
laborers In silver. It seems that sim
ultaneously with the previous decision
to pay the. men in gold the mortality
among the West Indian laborers in
creased considerably and rumor has
it that in many instances the negroes
practically have preferred to starve
than to spend the gold coin, little of
which they have ever seen.
French Gun Examined by Army.
WASHINGTON, July 21. A sample of
the new French small arm, the improved
Lebel rifle, has been received at the War
Department and is being carefully exam
ined by the experts. The gun is about
four inches longer that the new American
rifle, slightly smaller In caliber and a
pound or two heavier, but it does not ap
pear that it surpasses the American arm
in range, accuracy or other valuable
qualities.
The magazine extends in a line with the
barrel like an American sporting rifle,
and the gun uses no cjips: consequently
it is slower to load than our own gun.
The center of gravity is continuously
shifting with the movement of the muni
tion in the magazine, and there is danger
that the shell in the magazine might be
exploded by a sharp blow of the stock on
the ground, causing the pointed bullet of
one shell to strike the primer of the one
above it. A queer, square-ribbed bayonet,
over 20 Inches In length, fitted with a
sword handle of aluminum, gives the
French gun a formidable appearance, but
our ordnance officers think better of our
knife bayonet.
Eight Hours on Government Work.
WASHINGTON, July 21. Acting Secre
tary of the Navy Newberry, in accordance

issued an order to all bureau chiefs, di
recting that the eight-hour law be strict

CONGRESS OF ALL NATIONS
PARLIAMENTARY UNION MEETS
IN LONDON MONDAY.
Delegates From Twenty Nations Will
Favor Permanent World's Con
gress and Arbitration.
LONDON, July 21. The 14th confer
ence of the Interparliamentary Union,
organized to promote the arbitration of
peace, opens Monday in the Royal Gal
lery of the Parliament building. . Dele
gates represent the Parliaments of 20
countries, including Russia and Mexico
and many' of the Central and South
American republics which have here
tofore not participated in the confer
ences. The union extends a specially
cordial welcome to the Russians, as
representing the world's youngest leg
islature. The United States has a dozen dele
gates, under the leadership of Con
gressman Richard Bartholdt, of Mis
souri, including Theodore E. Burton, of
Ohio; John Sharp Williams, of Missis
sippi; Ebenezer Hill, of Connecticut;
Oille M. James, of Kentucky; David L.
Granger, of Rhode Island; Henry M.
Goldfogle, of New York, and William J.
Bryan, as an ex-member of the United
States House of Representatives.
The most important business of the
conference centers around two proposi
tions of Mr. Bartholdt, submitted in be
half of the American delegation to the
Brussels conference of 1905. The first
proposes an international congress, and
the second a model arbitration treaty
to be submitted to the next conference
at The Hague. The reports of the two
committees appointed at Brussels, just
issued, favor both propositions with
certain modiflcations.
The arbitration treaty favored repre
sents a compromise between the pro
posals of Mr. Bartholdt and those of
Ernest von Pienor, formerly Austrian
Minister of Commerce, and make arbi
tration or an appeal to The Hague
tribunal obligatory in a number of
specified cases. It excludes questions
affecting vital interests, national inde
pendence or sovereign authority. The
Americans insisted upon the specifica
tion of these features in order to meet
the objections of the American Senate
to granting the executive unlimited au
thority to arbitrate.
' The Americans intend to submit a
resolution calling on all Parliaments to
make appropriations to support the
peace propaganda.
Many entertainments have been
planned In honor of the delegates.

CHICAGO, July 2L Six ferocious bull
dogs, which guard the home of Banker
John Farson, last night were in a blood
less battle with 10 members of Company
D, Sixth Infantry, Illinois National
Guard, who were sent by Captain Hay
den to arrest Eugene Smith, a chauf

arrest Smith.
Accompanied by his wife, son and
chauffeur, John Farson entered the gar
age and attempted to drive the soldiers
from the place. The latter, despite pro
tests from the Farson family, attempted
to seize Smith. Mr. Farson ran to a
large kennel and loosened the six dogs. As
the dogs approached them, the men lost
their nerve and sprang over the high wall
without taking time to unlock the gate.
Later Captain Hayden called at the
Farson home and explanations followed
which resulted in Smith being allowed
to remain at the Farson home undis
turbed. JUST THE KIND YOU WANT.

Germany Conducts Campaign
of Extermination in
West Africa.
FORTY THOUSAND PERISH
Rebel Natives Driven Into Desert to
Die of Hunger and Thirst Arid
Wastes Strewn With Grisly
Human Skeletons.
BERLIN, July 21. (Special.) The of
ficial report of the Government concern
ing the result of the war against the
native rebels in German Southwest Afri
ca contains appalling details of the cam
paign of extermination that has been car
ried on by the German commander there
in revenge for the various reverses that
the German force encountered in the
earlier days of the campaign. In the
initial campaign, the rebels numbered
60.000 men and outnumbered greatly the
Germans sent against them.
As soon as the German forces were able
to assume the offensive, a campaign of
"no quarter" was inaugurated and car
ried through. Death was the portion of
all rebels, and the German forces were
so persistent 1 that their enemies were
soon driven into the desert, where they
perished of starvation and thirst. An
Immense area of the arid land Is now
strewn with thousands of human skele
tons, from which the flesh has been de
voured by birds and beasts.
It is estimated that 40,000 natives per
ished in the desert, of whom many were
aged men, women and children. The
campaign is declared to have been with
out a parallel In point of ferocity In re
cent years, and - is likely to prove a
strong weapon for the Socialists in the
next meeting of the Reichstag.
HER "RETORT COURTEOUS.'
Labor Leader's Wife Resents Slur
From Aristocrat's Wife.
(Special Cable to the Central Newa and
The Oregonian.)
LONDON. July 21. The wife of John
Burns, the Cabinet Minister and erst
while labor man, does not go out very
much in the higher society of town,
though she has been to the drawing
rooms at Buckingham Palace several
times, and occasionally attends political
receptions and dinner parties. The other
day Lady Hindllp, who is doing consider
able political entertaining, was giving a
ball. She had not called on Mrs. Burns,
and yet It was her duty to invite her.
So the countess wrote rather a gushing
note to Mrs. Burns, including a card to
the ball, and begging her to forgive the
fact of her not having called, but
"Grosvenor Square was so very far away
from Battersea." Mrs. Burns wrote a
reply immediately, declining the invita
tion, and giving the excuse that Batter
sea is Just as far away from Grosvenor
Square as the Square is from Battersea."
VERY LATEST THING IN SLANG
London Society Attempts Many Im
provements on Mother Tongue.
(Special Cable to the Central Newa and
The Oregonian.)
LONDON, July 21. The very newest
slang Is remarkable. Since the young
man astonished an elderly duchess at a
reception by telling her to "pull up" her
socks there have been many new expres
sions coined. Some of them, I must be
lieve, have come to London society via
America. To be very "smart" one must
call a man friend "Dear old boysie" or
"Old Dear" or "Friend of my early
teens." Champagne is "Champanny
wine." Unmarried women are called
"Dear young lady." and If referred to en
masse are called "Fluffkins."
Every thing that you like Is called
"Tophole." Badly dressed women are
"Dressed in garbage" and a male bore
Is a "Blotch on the handicap." A lady
who won't flirt is said to "Allow no
bathing on her beach." "Frantic" Is ap
parently the only adjective of the mo
ment. Everything is "Frantic."

Alaska's Nightless Days Hurt
Wireless System.
NIGHT BEST TO TELEGRAPH
Static Electricity Interferes During
Ten Days of Continuous Daylight.
Alaska Cable to Be Du
plexed and Extended.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 21. For the first time since
wireless communication was instituted be
tween Fort St. Michael and Nome, Alas
ka, trouble has been experienced. From
June 22 until July 1 static electricity in
terfered with the instruments. It is be
lieved these conditions arise because of
the prolonged sunlight at this time of the
year in Alaska, it being well known that
wireless telegraphy Is far less efficient
by day than at night.
June 21 was the longest day in the year,
and the trouble commenced next day and
continued until about July 21, during
which period there was continuous, day
light in that latitude and almost con
tinuous sunlight. However, communica
tion was not entirely interrupted, and
at no time was the sending of messages
stopped as much as a day at a time.
Instruments for use in duplexing the
Alaskan cable are now in the hands of
the Signal Corps of ,the Army and are
about to be installed. This will result In
an Increase of about 75 per cent in the
capacity of the cable. Materials are aTso
in hand for putting in a cut-out in the
cable between Sitka and Juneau. This
cut-out is to extend to Fort Wrangell,
Hadley, on Prince of Wales Island, and to
Ketchikan, affording communication with
Southern! Alaska.

Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo
ratory at Buffalo, ST. Y., has printed
upon Its wrapper all the ingredients
entering Into its composition. This fact
alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi
sineg in a elast all by themeelroe. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
Is why so many unprejudiced physicians
Sreoribe them ana recommend them to
leir patients. They know what they
are composed of, and that the Ingredients
re those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver lnvlgorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
"Favorite Prescription for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
to a plaee all by themselves.
Many years ago. Dr. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength. It a better solvent and preserv
ative of the medicinal principles resid
ing In our Indigenous, or native, medi
cinal plants than is alcohol; arid, further
more, that It possesses valuable medicinal
properties of Its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and a most efficient
anttferment.
Neither of the above medicines con
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drag, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, bat
the most intelligent people-employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every Ingredient entering Into the com
position of Dr. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes ha
any such profotsional endorsement.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets core con
stipation. Constipation is the canse of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. One " Pellet" is a gentle
laxative, and two a mild cathartic. Drug
gists sell them, and nothing Is "just as
good." Easy to take as candy.
