NEW YORK, May 30. (Special.)
An" engagement -which is- Inter-esting-
society in many cities "is
that of Mrs. A. Lanfear Norrie. of New
York, to Count Odet Marie de Jumilhac
She is a granddaughter of Pierre
Lorillard. and inherited a large fortune
from her husband, who died in 1912
Possibly the Count did not look with
Indifference on the fortune accumu
lated by the late Mr. Norrie. He is a
relative of the Due de Richelieu, who
married Miss Wise, of Baltimore. His
home is In Paris.
Another American actress claims a
title. She was Ruth Maycliffe, and ap
peared in several plays in this country
nomo years ago. She has returned from
Europe with the announcement that
she has married the Prince Jose Bra
panca d'Avellar, a member of the royal
family of Portugal. The Prince's name
Is not in the Almanach de Ootha.
Prince Alexander of Teck Is to be
Governor-General of Canada, begin
ning next October. He is a brother of
Queen Mary of England. He is a Ma
jor in the Second Life Guards, and was
an aide de camp In South Africa. H
has held no administrative post be
fore. He was born in April, 1S74. and
t 30 married Princess Alice of Albany.
They have two children. Princess May.
aged 8. and Prince Rupert, aged 6.
AuBtria-Hungary has been famous
for many generations for the beauty
of its women. One of the most beauti

VACANT CHAIR IS INSPIRATION TO BE POWER FOR GOOD
Memory of Service and Love of Honored Dead Is Reminder That All Must Prepare for Coming of Death by Accepting Christ, Says Dr. Walter B. -Hinson.
Thy sat. shall be empty, and thou Shalt
be missed. 1 Sam. 20:18.
BY WALTER B. HIJfSON. T.T.
THY seat shall be empty; there
shall be "the Vacant Chair!" She
belonged to another age than
ours, did Eliza Cook, the poetess, and
very much of that she wrote has long
since been forgotten. But there come
times, once and again, in the lives of
mortals, when they remember one sim
ple thing that woman wrote:
1 love It. I love it. and who shall dare
Chide me for loving that old arm chair?
It was there aha mined me; 'twas there she
died;
And memory flows with lava tide.
Call It folly, and deem me weak.
As the scalding- tears run down my cheek.
But I love it, I love it, and cannot tesr
My soul from my mother's old arm chair.
Our own Lowell talks on the same
theme when he says of his little girl
who vanished from the fireside and lay
out in Sweet Auburn Cemetery:
There's a narrow rldse in the graveyard:
'Twould scarce stay a child in Its race. '
But to me and my thoUKhts It Is wider
Than the star-strewn vault of space.
Immortal! I feel It. 1 know it.
It must be for such as she;
But that is the pang's very secret.
She's Immortal away from me.
And when on another occasion he
spoke of the woman who had left his
side, he still alluded to the vacant
chair:
'Twas only a womanly presence.
An Influence unexpressed:
But m rose she had worn on ray grave sod
Were more than long life with the rest.
Twaa a smile, a garment's rustle;
'Twas nothing that I could phrase.
Bat the whole dumb dwelling grew con
scious And took on her looks and ways.
Hymn Sunsc by Father lr Chair.
Sometimes I turn to the hymn book
nd read a hymn that commences thus:
When I can read my title clear
To mansions in the skies. '
I'll bid farewell to every tear
And wipe my weeping eyes.'.'
My father and I sang tha together,
the last time we were beneath the old

played, a prominent part in the so
ciety of the Hungarian capital before
her marriage to the Count. Her hus-
roof. And I can see him, the old man
with his pitifully small supply of
breath, as he sat in his chair and sang
the hymn. And I have never sat in
that chair since, and I never want to
see anyone else there.
In my former church a minister ridi
culed Newman's great hymn, "Lead
Kindly Light." And he said It was only
a poor picture of a foolish man who
was groping about in the dark, looking
for the light. I had to chide him as
publicly as he made his criticism. For
O, what thousands of eyes have grown
misty with tears as they have looked
at the last verse of that hymn:
So long thy power hath blessed me, sure It
still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er eras; and torrent
till
The night is rone.
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost
awhile.
Vaeaatt Chair Sallowed Memento.
I could take you, in the city where I
first preached, to a very beautiful home,
richly furnished, with all that eye or
heart could desire, and I could show
you in one corner of the best room of
that home a little chair. The occupant
of that chair I burled nearly 20 years
ago, a fair little child. The vacant
chair stays, a hallowed and probably a
holy memento.
And the vacant chair comes into the
experience of most of us. And if it has
not already come, it is on its way. And
soon, when the hours of the day are
numbered and the night calls us to
serious reflection, there will enter the
door those who have long since passed
away. In fancy we shall shake hands
and tommune again with them. And
it should furnish us thought for re
flection that the vacant chair is draw
ing ever nearer.
Therefore, we cannot afford to be
unkind in the morning. For the man
who goes down to his office may never
come back. And the boy who goes
out to his class may never return. The
girl who trips away, and to whom, ia
AW
band is now the Austrian-Hungarian
minister at Dresden, and at the Saxon
capital, as well as in Vienna, Countess
Forgach is reckoned one of the great
est of court beauties.

Here Are Recipes for Some
Appetizing Sauces.
Dresslng-s for Summer Dishes Are
Easily Made and DeMlrable for
Cold Dinners and launches.
A GOOD sauce add a zest to what
otherwise might be insipid and un
attractive in the way of food. The
season is at hand, when cold dishes are
often the most appetising and the most
convenient to serve. Very often a cun
ningly prepared sauce will lift such a
dish from the uninteresting monotony
of a "left-over" to a tempting morsel
with the stamp of a French chef. In
the large hotels where the secrets of
sauce-concocting are known, large
profits accrue from the serving of din
ner left-overs in a new Incarnation of
luncheon entrees. These recipes for
appetising sauces, from the notebook
your thoughtlessness, you said good-:
by, may be carried home. .
For many go forth in the morning
Who never return at night;
And hearts have broken
Through harsh words spoken.
That sorrow will never put right.
1'nklndnriis Leads to Sorrow.
Because of this we cannot afford to
be unkind in the night. I remember
the story of a woman who said fool
ishly to her petulant child, "Because
you have been bad this evening I will
not give you your 'goodnight' kiss."
And in the morning she saw the face
of that little child still and cold and
white. There was an undried tear on
the child's cheek 1 I think I would as
soon go to perdition as have that
mother's memory.
They tell a story of how, out-ln the
wild Crimea, when it was well known
among the men that they would soon
charge the Russian posts.- a quarrel
arose between two comrades around the
fire. Suddenly a grave-looking man
said. "No quarreling, comrades; we
shall all be dead tomorrow."
Once as I walked through an English
wood I noticed a peculiar mark on the
bark of some of the trees, and I said
to the man who was with me: "What
is the meaning of that mark?" He
said: "Every tree marked like that
has to be felled," and I thought then,
and I am thinking again now, that we
all bear, the mark, for it is appointed
unto men to die. The vacant chair!
Bring Missed la Privilege.
"Thy seat shall be empty and thou
shalt be missed." Herein lies the great
privilege of life, that a man may so
live as to be missed when the chair
goes empty. Think not this privilege
belongs alone to the gifted and the
great, who move upon the hilltops, in
full gaze of the nations. No, no! This
is a privilege possessed by - the lowly
as well as the high:, by the small as
well as the great. -
The most pathetic 'epitaph I ever
heard of -was a sentence cut in a stone
over a mother. It, ran thus : .- "She
Tango Sets Are Summer's
Daintiest Gifts.
As Alt Women ITnder SO Dance the
Tango, Fans. Vanity Pockets and
Corsage Bouquets Are Needed. -
EVERT girl under 60 tangoes now.
If you know one whose birthday
occurs this month, present her with a
tango set, which includes several arti
cles she will take delight In using this
Summer. .
First and foremost In the tango set,
Is a fan, for Summer nights are warm
and the new dances are strenuous. One
of the inexpensive paper fans,- with a
flower design and sticks of carved
wood, will answer; or a gauze fan,
spangled or plain. In either case the
fan should depend from a long chain
of white beads, - tiny ones, like seed
pearls.
A vanity pocket of flowered silk, con
taining diminutive powder puff, a bit
of chamois to mop a perspiring brow
and one of the small, flat boxes of cake
rouge, will be another item of the Sum
mer tango set. Such a pocket should
be rather flat, with an envelope flap
and snap-button fastening. Some girls
sew a snap-button to the outer side of
the vanity pocket and also to the bras
sier, inside the loose bodice near the
belt, so that the vanity case is always
close at hand, yet quite invisible.
A corsage bouquet is another accept
able feature of the tango set It is dif
ficult to obtain cultivated flowers -in
the country or; by the sea, unless one
sends to town for them. Even then,
violets, gardenias, roses and orchids are
difficult .to obtain in mid-Summer, when
there it little market for these exotic
blooms. So- a corsage bouquet, fresh
and dainty in condition for raveled out
violets, smudged gardenias and flat
tened silk roses do not add to the ef
fect of an evening gown will be most
acceptable to any woman.
A pair of adjustable shoe-trees, cov
ered with shirred ribbon, will complete
the tango set. . Satin slippers, even kid
slippers, will keep their shape and last
longer, especially In Summer, If shoe
trees are slipped into them the moment
they are removed from the warm, damp
feet.

EW YORK, May 30. -(Special.)
No tale of the sea has ever been
written which excels the one
brought In by the four survivors of
the 15 sailors who abandoned the
steamship Columbia when that vessel
was burning, May 3. The four were
picked up May 17 by the revenue cut
ter Seneca, half dead and almost de
lirious, 37 miles southeast of Sable
Island. . For. 14 days they had been
given up. as dead. For 14 days they
had suffered tortures, agonies, hopes
and despair beyond description.
One by one they say they saw 11 of
their shipmates become stark, raving
mad after drinking salt water; then
death mercifully removed them. For
14 days their only food was hardtack
and bootleather.
Ocean steamers, all ablaze with lights
and from which gay music came to
the ears of the despairing, half-dead
men, were sighted. Then their hopes
rose high in the belief that they would
be seen and picked up.
Mere shadows of themselves, wasted
to skin and bone, these men of the
sea were snatched up by the rescue
crew from the cutter which had been
patrolling the waters in ..which the
Columbia was lost.

Dr. George Brandes, who is 75 years
old and has long held a commanding
position in the world of letters, ar
rived in Ihis country on the steam
ship Vaterland last week on a lecture

Eastern and Western sections. While
here Dr. Brandes will lecture in Eng
lish, German and Danish. His first
appearance will be at Yale University.
G. Bernard Shaw's play, "Pygmalion,"
was put on recently in London by Sir
Herbert Tree. It proved as entertain
ing as most of his work. Mr. Shaw
left the theater in the middle of the
performance, saying that the laughter
of. the audience was disgusting and
had driven him away.

longingly as a great mountain against
as a hiding place from the wind, as a
covert from the tempest, as rivers of
water in a dry place, and as the shadow
of a great rock in a weary land." Are
you a man like that?
It was said to -me of the fallen leader
of the Oregon W. C. T. U. hosts, Mrs.
Booker: "Many are mourning over her
as they recall the good deeds Bhe has
wrought."
" And over the telephone, in accents so
broken by grief that I could scarcely
distinguish the message. ' one of the
prominent reform workers of this city
said: "Oh, how illy we could spare
her." Worthy tribute. Worthy tribute
that -evil should say, "We have lost an
opponent," and that evil should say,
"The forces arrayed against us have
been weakened by this removal." And
worthy is it that influences which
make for righteousness "should say:
"We can illy spare her." Thou shalt
be missed.
. Heart Fee-Is Grief Deeply.
Oh, it is not the tear at the moment
shed that stands for the broken heart;
It Is not the crepe on the arm or around
the hat that manifests the grief of the
soul, for these are but the trappings
and the suits of woe. It -is the heart
entertaining its continual grief so
deeply that the lip may never make
any mention of It. It is the eye feel
ing that tears too poorly express the
awful loss occasioned by the removal
the dry eye that tells of the hidden
grief.
Do not you know there are men and
women in this-house at thia moment
who are living in the grip of a death

These are among the most profitable
influences that govern men's lives.

question of chickens' rights has been
settled at Cadiz, Trigg County, by a

For years chickens had been allowed
to run in the village streets. Many ob

large.
A village referendum brought out
every negro in town and they voted

Preparation la Lesson Drawn.
Now for the lesson that we are to
learn from this, and our task is com
plete. Already have we hinted at it.
We are passing away. We went to
school with them, and they are gone.
We companioned with them, and they
are gone. We did business with them,
and they are gone. And some of us
there are who sometimes:
"Feel like one who treads alone
The banquet hall deserted.
Whose guests are fled, whose garlands
dead.
And all but he, departed."
They are passing away. You had
better write your letter to the old
mother tonight, young man, for it may
be forever too late unless you do it.
You had better utter the apologetio
word, that you know you ought to
speak, tonight or you may never
utter it- You " had better lift that
weight off your conscience by making
restitution tonight, or it may be there
forever.
"That thou . doest, do quickly," for
we are passing away. You had better
leave everything right, down here. Yes,
make your will, but remember what
you mention in your will is the least
of things you will leave behind you.
What about your influence, if you go
up into the great silence tonight?
Will men you have benefited by your
life wipe away the tear, with a strong
resolution for righteousness, because
you are gone?
Influence Exerted Is Vital.
What about your influence? Will
your boy say, "I have got to be a
Christian, because my father was the
highest type of a Christian man I
ever knew, a man who walked straight,
and was unafraid?" Will your daugh
