Her father is a prominent Oregon lawyer, long a partner of Judge Ird. Portia's lawyer, Sir Edward Clarke, has the duke's love letters, written during the time she waa in a convent to escape his attentions. They show that he traced her with de tectives and even gained admission to the convent from which he was prompt ly expelled -by the mother superior.

" Why was the American Hag raised above the'eourt house today? w as asked by many citizens. An old-tiitier in formed all inquirers that it was on ac count of the Catholic fair. Others said it was because the D. P. & A. N. Co., and White Collar line had entered into a temporary contract not to cut each others throats till the holidays are over. Others said it was on account Of the ad journment of congress over the holidays. Still others suggested that it was in honor of Detective Joe Reiley who wrung a confession from Addison Kidd at the nuzzle of a Mbrse pistol. The truth is the flag was raised by the patriotic Ihiss of the county jail in honor of the hun dreth anniversary of the Louisiana pur chase. The next world's fair, concerning whch comparatively little has been heard in this country, will be held in the city of Cork, Ireland, from May to November, next year.

This is to be the most important fair ever held in Ireland. Among the announcements in the prospectus is this : "The exhibi tion baa already met with hearty and widespread support among all clasaea, and in the list of oflice-bearers will be found many of the leading noblemen and gentlemen of Ireland, as well as the civic heads of the principal towns of the country."
