Turning to burglary" to enliven the dullness of a Yuletide house pnr'ij. Hie guests of the Duke of West minster a' night or two ago invaded, 'with' feltmlous intent," Cholmondeley Castle, the country seat of the Marquis of Cholmondeley, In Cheshire. They car ried off everything upon which they could Jay their hands and when they departed tley left a partlrtcal letter to tho owner of the despoiled castle. 1 The raiders played high pranks' in the Tooms which they invaded, and the evi dorices 'of the "robbery" left Indicate that the Jokers had imbibed a little too much of the Mai-quls' champagne, which they attacked with vigor during the raid. They left the chairs arranged in a pyra mid on the dining tnVo of the castle, the whole- aurmounted by an antique silver wine cooler in which was placed the ad dress to the Marquis. The handwriting of this literary effort was disguised or rendered eccentric as a result of the visi tors' libations. The names signed werd hardly decipherable. One) Woman In Party. There is a suspicion that at least one woman was a member of the marauding party. A woman's handkerchief with a coronet embroidered in the corner was picked up outside the window through which the ducal Rafflesea, entered the castle. Two thousand dollars will not pay for the damage done by the make-believe btir giars, especially as some silver articles which were taken away in a coal scuttle lu.ve been lost. Then, too. there must be counted the damage done to the lodge gate, which was smashed beyond repair whep the automobile, in which the marauders paid their visits, struck It in speeding away .after the alarm had been given. While the Marquis was not overjoyed at the prank played upon him and the worry caused to his house party guests, the an griest persons around the castle when the joke was uncovered were the Scotland Yard men, the pride of England's police force, who were completely duped by the trick and spent an entire day in the chilly, biting wind in search for the supposed bandits. Police Are Summoned Hastily. As soon as Lord Cholmondeley learned the news he hastily summoned the super intendent of the Cheshire police and within a short time detectives, includ ing Scotland Yard men. were on their way to the castle. The inquiry showed that a motor car had arrived at the Chester entrance of Cholmondeley Castle park at '2 o'clock in the morning. Footprints showed that a man had walked up and down as if to keep warm, and from this the detectives deduced that the car had been left in the care of a chauffeur while the other oc tt:' ( 'Model B Studebaker Guarantee Is Well Worth Looking Into Studebaker Closed Car EAST MORRISON STREET cupants walked through the grounds and gained an entrance, by the castle dining room window, the cards of which were broken. . " After obtaining the booty, they regained the motor and drove off at such furious speed that, when the car collided with the lodge gate, it scattered, fragments of both the car and gate all about, waking the lodgekeeper, who gave the alarm. Hunt for Clews; Miss Loot. The excitement spread throughout the entire country and the newspapers at Chester had made preparations to get out special editions telling of the burglary when a detective made the discovery that several valuable necklaces and other trin kets had been fastened together and wrapped about the top of the chandelier of the dining-room. Other discoveries were made,, each creating additional ex citement. Lord Cholmondeley's guests turned themselves into detectives and worked to unravel the mystery. After the police had spent a hard day a deputation of the Duke of Westmin ster's house party motored over from Eaton Hall, not far away, and. solved the mystery. The robbers agreed to return the goods taken away only on condition that the lumps of ' coal they left, behind them in their raid be returned. This exchange was made, and the amateur burglars de parted, looking for new sport to drive away dull boredom Among the members of the Duke of Westminster's house party were Colonel Grenfell and Lady Muriel Grenfell, the Hon. Ivor and Mrs. Guest, Sir Edward and Lady Constance Stewart Richardson, Mrs. Wyndham, and Guy Brooke. The friends of Lady Richardson and Guy Brooke suspect them of being the ring leaders In the burglary, as they were al ways ready for some kind of fun. NATIVES FLOOD HUNGARY Returning From America, They Solve Domestic Problem. BUDAPESTH, Dec. 28. Hungary is experiencing already some remark able effects in its social life from the great influx of "Americans" to the land of their birth. Emigration agents and Socialist or ganizations for some years made great headway, especially among field labor ers and domestic servants, with their text that "Nothing at home is good enough." Firm' laborers left for the New World In thousands, and those that remained took rather a dictatorial attitude toward their employers. Even more marked wu the growing dearth of domestic servants and the rise In their wages. . Not so now that the returning ship loads makeathelr presence felt In the Hungarian labor market. Today It Is not uncommon to see the following ad vertisement, particularly in the Pro vincial Journals: "Domestic servant, speaking English, desires a situation." Quite recently the following stipula tions were made to a mistress by a parlor maid: "No work in the after noons; every Sunday free, with leave of absence till Monday morning: two hours' piano practice every afternoon; at least three courses for dinner and two for supper; visits of admirer to be permitted at any time during the after noons or evenings; extra allowance for gloves."

NORTHWEST TELEPHONE EAST 91 Hard for French Red Tape Art ists to Buy Them. BURIED IN MANY LETTERS Ruler of Martinlnque Has to Wait 1 8 Months While Paris Official- . dom Resolves Whether and How to Bay. PARIS, Jan 4. (Special.) A red-tape record has been established by the French Colonial Department Eighteen ' months ago the Governor of Martinique found that he needed some pins and a corkscrew in his office. He sent for his secretary and asked to get them. The secretary pointed out that any such ex penditure must be sanctioned by the , Ministry of the Colonies. The Governor accordingly telegraphed to farts. "Please send at once one and a half pounds of pins and two corkscrews." The Minister send the telegram to the accountants' department "for approxi mate estimate Of the outlay to be in curred." The chief accountant Woted that in his opinion the expense would be excessive, observing that his wife did not use so many pins even for her most elab orate dresses. So he sent the telegram and the note to the director of the politi cal department, who drew up a long and, on the whole, favorable report of the Governor's character, and thought the request for the pins was reasonable if they were not purchased at an exorbi tant figure. The dossier went next to the commis sion of purchases, which was divided as to whether the pins should be bought by private contract or otherwise. It finally ! decided on the former and returned . the dossier to the political department, which sent it back to the accountants, who passed it on to the Minister, who thought the purchase should not be made by pri vate contract and sent it back to the ac countants, who transferred it to the po litical department, who handed it on to the commission of purchases, which de cided after all that private contract was not the best method and sent the huge dossier back to the Minister via the po litical department and the accountants. kThen the Minister sanctioned the expen diture, and after more ; journeyings the dossier returned to . the commission . of purchases, which was given a free hand. By this time the Governor's telegram had been traveling for 14 months and was buried In the midst of 2427 documents concernlnfg it, while the pins in the bundle were nearly as numerous as those the .Governor needed. GAVE KAISER TILE HORRORS Edward Put Hideous Victorian Fur- . niture in His Rooms. LONDON, Jan. 4. (Special.) Though it is said that the Kaiser was intensely in terested in the King's alteration at Wind sor Castle, his artistic soul must have been pained when he saw the furniture that now graces the state apartments. When the King took over the royal apart ments, he apparently found them full of IPINSFORGnyFRNORi i i 1 1 Reliable :::;:::::::::::: early Victorian furniture. The aim of the makers of this furniture was seemingly to get the greatest possible quantity of glaring gilt together with the most furious colors, into the space available. The King, who acted under the advice of a well-known expert in rearranging the treasures of the Castle, expelled all this hideous stuff from his rooms and placed It in the state apartments, trans- i rerrmg the fine French . furniture from the latter to his own rooms. There are still some fine pieces of furniture, and' particularly some wonderful china, in the state apartments, but they are utterly smothered and lost beside these awful ex amples of the decorative taste of the late Queen and her consort. The state apartments at Windsor now are simply a series of chambers of hor rors in point of furniture. What the state apartments have lost, however, the pri vate ones must have gained, though it is not a good policy for the King to display the state apartments as exemplifying the royal Idea of decorative art. FAVORS MANUAL TRAINING Correspondent Believes It Should Be Taught in Public Schools. HILLSBORO, - Or., Jan. 2. (To the Editor.) I wish to be heard in the matter referred to in your editorial en titled, "It Will be Futile," In Monday's issue. While I leaVned my A B C's in The Oregonlan and have sat at its feet for over 40 years, I am frequently at a loss to distinguish between what is meant for irony and what is to be taken in earnest. At the risk, how ever, of being considered stupid, I must take issue with some of the statements, admitting first that in the minds of many the idea of education you correctly - state as "something that would save us from work," but thus idea abides mainly in those who have borne te "primal curse" without the lamp of learning to guide their feet or to light the dark galleys where they toll. The great majority of the toilers of our land today have grown up among free schools and among them a totally different idea prevails. The observant realizes that in a short time the work of the world will be in the hands of trained experts and though it will not be possible for all well-trained men to mount to the top, it will be utterly Impossible for one not so trained to rise above the lowest levels. That peo. pie believe this . aid are acting upon that belief we -need look no further for proof than to our own Agricultural College, with its vast army of students-equaling the attendance of any two other educational institutions in the -state. J This condition is not true of this state alone for I know that a like con dition exists elsewhere. In Denver the demand - for scholarships in the Manual Training High School was so strong among the pupils graduating out of the grammar schools that the directors were compelled, four years ago, to allot the scholarships pro rata and the graduates were compelled to draw lots, and the lucky ones we're con sidered very fortunate and when un able to attend, were able to sell their scholarships for a substantial sum, while the admission to the other high schools was free and room for all. True, the Manual Training School was held in a measure of contempt among the children of the "newly rich," but the M. T.'s seemed to care very little for that, yet if they cele brated their smashing victory on the gridiron over the team of the most snobbish high school with a wild ex uberance of noise, who could blame them? ' ' Verily, the "world do move," and we of the younger class of old men. seeing the evidences on every hand will move Fifteen Styles Pleasure Vehicles, Six Sizes Electric Trucks and Delivery Wagons to select from, '. ALL DESIGNED, BUILT, SOLD AND GUARANTEED by the Biggest Builders of the Best Vehicles in the World Can You Afford to Overlook Us in Selecting a 1908 par? Studebaker Truck, Built Also a. i i i i ' IS up to keep abreast. No, no, we are now fully aware that education is no longer unalterably associated with a white collar and wd are now striving to train our young people to be useful our girls to be intelligent helpmates to the boys who are training- their heads as well as their hands so that they may take their places alongside the thous ands of bright, skilled laborers toiling with their blueprints and slide-rules among the machines and benches, able when the opportunity offers to throw aside their greasy overalls and take their places in the offices and drafting rooms, to design and plan for those who will not use their'brains. In edu cation alone is to be the remedy -for the labor union troubles, for the man who feels hopelessly tied to the harder and underpaid branches of labor, looks with envy upon those who are able to rise above him. ' . THOMAS S. WILKES. SHOW RESPECT TO WOMEN French League to Revive Fast-Van- ishing Politeness. PARIS, Jan. 4. (Special!) Known as "The League to Respect Women," a body to encourage politeness in France, has just been formed. Oue of its founders ex plains the object thus: "For many years past we Frenchmen have been losing our reputation- for politeness- to women in fact, - we are no longer as polite to women as are the English, Italians or : Austrians. This is evidenced daily in a hundred little ways. For Instance,- a Frechman will seldom. If ever, think of. giving up his seat in a tramcar or omnibus to a woman. It is quite common at a station to see a man elbow his way through a crowd of wait ing women to get in front.. In railway carriages men. will smoke in non-smoking compartments without asking the permis sion of the woman present. We want not to go back to the old, - somewhat ridicu lous forms of ceremonious politeness, but to keep alive, or, rather, to revive some thing traditional in French courtesy to ward women, which is unfortunately fast dying out." - FASTEST ON MIDDLE SEA r . Turbine Steamer Captures Blue Ribbon- of .Mediterranean. ' ALEXANDRIA. EgypU Jan. 4. (Spe cial.) The Egyptain Mail Steamship Com pany has secured the blue ribbon of the Mediterranean by the arrival of its new turbine steamer Heliopolis at Alexandria in three days from Marseilles. The He liopolis has thus shortened the journeyxto Egypt from England to four days. Hith erto passengers to Egypt had to take the chance of securing berths in one or anoth er of the ocean liners which make Alexan dria a port of call. The Egyptian Mail Steamship Company has changed all that. A second and sister ship, the Cairo, will soon be running, and like the Heliopolis will have turbine engines of 18,000 horse power capable of driving the vessel at a speed of twenty-one knots. These two huge vessels surpass in accommodation anything that has yet been seen in the Mediterranean. Dairyman in Trouble. MONTESANO, Wash., Jan. 4. (Special.)

Countess Maintained by Italy's Former Ruler; Resents Victor Emmanuel's Aspersions. ROME, Dec. 2S.-r-Countess Cczarina Gaddi Hercolani, who is suing King Vic tor Emmanuel for provision for. her son (of whom she swears the late King Hum bert was the father), bitterly resents the aspersions cast upon her character and antecedents by the King's lawyers in combating her suit. The Countess has made public this statement: "Signor Rossi, the King's. counsel, not content with denying as false what I know to -be true, continuesspiis persecu tion by defaming me. His underhand de vices, his abuse of his powers as repre senting the royal house, do no honor to the memory of an exalted personage, to that memory which he pretends to vin dicate. "My sole desire was that this painful affair should be settled quietly and quick ly. But,, as King Victor Emmanuel has thought it well to force upon me and the public the disclosures affecting his late father.-1 can tolerate - these attacks no longer. Therefore, -I break my long si lence. . "True, my honor is dead; it .was killed when I was a girl of 15. But my child hood was passed under conditions far different from those which Signor Rossi represents. . Reduced to misery, I asked humbly and submissively for some small compensation for what I have suffered from the Ktng'a father, for which King Humbert himself promised to indemnify me, but his untimely death prevented.

Poisons, humors and germs from various sources often get into the blood, ind then this great life-stream becomes a source of infection and disease, 'nstead of. a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise an mportant factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are born yith tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous "arms is sure to crop out-some time in life. Not only poisons in the blood ire responsible for disease; but when the circulation is run down and becomes ioor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition f health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, boils, and various skin .rnptions.

"I protest against this infamous on--slaught on a woman, weak, alone, aban doned. I claim Justice against my base, accusers, who curry favor with the royal house by heaping defamation and false-, hoods on me." . This impassioned statement has made a deep impression on the public The late King Humbert's relations with her are. not denied, nor is It disputed that he made hlr a handsome allowance before he was assassinated. Nevertheless Signor Rossi eloquently tried to convince the court that, if .it heard the suit, it would bring dishonor on the memory of a monarch who welt earned the title of "the gallant King." Besides Rossi attempted to place the Countess in an infamous light. Now a beautiful woman of 42 years, she claims and produced evidence in court to prove that in 1880. at the King's com mand, she was taken to the Qulrinal to' sing before the King. Up to that time she had led a blameless life, preparing for a musical career, which promised brilliantly. Until 1883 King Humbert maintained her, and in the course of their relations a son was born to her. After the King's assassination she was. driven to appear as an actress and plan iste to support herself and her child. On the 'other hand. - Signor Rossi tried to prove that the Countess was not only, not under age, but far from innocent when King Humbert met her. The law yer contended that she was reared in a morally corrupt atmosphere, and that her father. Count Gaddi, figures in the secret records of the Interior Ministry as keep ing gambling-houses in Naples and Bo logna.
