Puzzled Over the Affair.
LONDON; Dm. 27. 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

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."

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

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

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. '

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." -

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.

ASKS KINS FOR JUSTICE
DEMANDS PROVISION FOR SON
OF HUMBERT.
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

thought it well to force upon me and the
public the disclosures affecting his late
father.-1 can tolerate - these attacks no

lence. . "True, my honor is dead; it .was killed
when I was a girl of 15. But my child

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

liATURES "PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASE
' The preservation of health and prevention against disease is almost
entirely dependent upon pure, healthy blood ; every organ, tissue, nerve and
sinew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength.
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

.rnptions. All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none

"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
