Ouida, Once Famous Novelist
, Is a Victim to PovertyKing Edward Tells the Church It Is Waking Mistake (By Richard Abercorn.) London. Se-Dt. 2S. England has quickly followed France and Germany with a practicable war balloon. After two years experiments in rigid secrecy the army balloon corp3 made the first public trial of the dirigible military Salloon, "Edward VII," near Alder shot, and demonstrated that it was a successful answer to the French and German airships. The airship sailed around Farnborough Common without accident, ana wered its helm perfectly and proved a complete success. In the car were Colonel Capper, tiie army balloon ex pert, and Mr. F. S. Cody, who has bucjessfully experimented with man-car rying kites for military purposes. The new British airship, which is llalmed as an Improvement on any yet built in England, is shaped like a fat sigar or short sausage, and propelled by a TiO-horsepower motor. It is a gombination of the balloon and aeroplane systems, having a series of wings or "gliders." besides the gas bag to mpport it in the air. Th mechanism is kept a close segret, but it is said that the balloon can iravel1 at twenty to thirty miles an hour. .The balloon is SO feet long and JO feet in diameter, the car and motor mspended from it appearing like tiny toys compared with the huge inflated tigar. "Oulda," the once famous novelist, n-ho has recently been rescued from lire poverty In a little Italian village. Is determined to end her days as "Ouila," and drop her real name. Louise do a Ramee, entirely. To this end she lias had inserted in a London paper the following "agony" advertisement: "All correspondents, public and prirate are requested to address me as unlerslgned. and by no other name whatsver: Ouida, Mazzaroza, presso Viarregio." King Edward has decided views on lie marriage-with-dcceased-wlfe's-slster luestlon, and has been at variance with ihe Archbishop of Canterbury thereon. When the bill was passed making it legal for a man to marry his sister-in-law, word was sent around from the Ixchbishop of Canterbury and the bishops to all the clergy of the church of England that they should refuse to mould reruse to lena tneir cnurcnes ior ruch ceremonies, and that the holy ommnnion should be denied to all tak tog part in such ceremonies. King Edward was not too busy with kls "cure" at Marienbad to write to His Grace of Canterbury pointing out lhat In hia opinion this was a mistake to tactics and one calculated to bring ihe church into disrepute, besides greatly strengthening the cry for dis establishment of the church.. His majesty, although he urged Lord Lansdowne to get this bill through, tnd though he himself, when Prince of Wales, presented a petition from the Norfolk farmers in favor of the bill ind made a neat speech himself in sup port, is nevertheless a staunch churchtian. His Grace of Canterbury, however, (earing trouble with his bishops, repllId to the king, pointing out "in all huBility." that the feeling among his lishops and clergy was entirely antagonistic to the principle of the act, and Jiat to run counter to their wishes Irould. rv feared, bring only disaster ipon the church. He held that the act iras opposed to Holy Writ, which was Ihe supreme guide for the conscience Of His Grr . To pn he correspondence would jp fn accordance with king- " T?dward means the ' i .'iiy what his wishes irt1. ...... through his court offljlals, sounded the secretary of the Debased "Wife's Sister bill committee. Fhich has been agitating for many fears, as to whether a knighthood irould be acceptable, and In all probaOility this will be conferred at the next ?rivy Council. Thus we have the unique spectacle of King Edward VII.. Defender of Faith ind titular head of the church, going one road, while his servant whom he las appointed as spiritual head of the thurch goes another. The Archbishop, however Is a "trimtier.'" Probably he will find means of calming the clerical tumult, jnjoothins the agitation into peaceful " "Hude and viewing the situation In Vjs same spirit as the "Vicar of Bray" fc ancient renown. The uninvited guest was very promtient in society during the past Lonlon season. Women were the most tudacious in forcing themselves where Jiey were not invited, and many unpleasant scenes marred the success of txclusive functions. , One incident of the kind took place I
thy man famed for his hospitality.
Royalty were among the guests, so great vigilance was taken to keep out illicit guests. When the party was at its height a footman "spotted" two unknown ladies entering the private rooms of the house to look at some famous pictures. He Informed his master, who followed the intruders and politely inquired their names. On hearing them, the host said: "As have not the pleasure of your ac quaintance I am under tha disagreeable necessity of asking you to withdraw." The ladies appeared very indignant, and one of them exclaimed rudely: "I suppose this is a specimen of what the society papers call your unrivalled hos pitality." "Madam," replied the host, with a courtly bow, "I regret to confess that my hospitality, unlike your self-confi dence, has its limitations." The pair of intruders were then promptly shown out. A soft-hearted Tmrgiar, like the hero of a children's magazine story, has been up before the magistrate at Thirsk. in Yorkshire. George Sharp gave himself up to the police, saying be had broken Into a school master's house and stolen nearly ?45. On the way to the police court Sharp asked whether the copper coins he had taken out of the box belonged to the children. "I think they did," he said plaintively; "And It troubles me a lot. When I am in bed at night I think I can hear the kiddies saying, "You've stolen our money.' If it had not been for that I wouldn't have given myself up." Sharp explained to the magistrate that he had intended to put the pennies back, but in the hurry he forgot to do Hftv TO troebl mt any Mod arista? from. disordered atomacb?

This attraction cornes Tfie . . . Moonshiner's Recruit . . By Ernest Rceser. The United States marshal who was compelled by duty to seek out and arrest moonshiners in the mountains of West Virginia had a hard task. Hi3 work received little commendation and his chances of being toppled over by a bullet from a tree top were many. The nervous strain while campaigning In the wilds was severe and the mental Invention necessary to trapping a human victim and gettins him
out of the region, was the most diffi-lon
cult and Important work of all. Every officer who went into the mountains with the specific intention of discovering and destroying the still operated by Bill Hicks, soon fund out the truth of these statements. They all failed. Fighting failed, and Bill was a match for the best of strategists. They never as much a3 saw his still. One day Hicks came to town, however, and beside him walked a tall, angular man of about thirty. Bill was more powerful in build but he did not have the cat-tread nor the sinewy appearance of the frailer man. Hicks was a prisoner. His captor the lanky young man was a new deputy marshal and on his first trip he managed to get Bill out of the region of his old haunts and get "the drop on him." He kept that drop until he landed his man in jail. Then he went back la the mountains, found Hicks'
to the Qennett on Monday
whisky manufactory and secured drawings, as well as exhibits to be used as evidence. He was sneaking away when a j-oung woman, breaking through the laurel brush, accosted him. "Yer a sneak a dirty sneak!" she said. Lemuel Hargis, the deputy, stared at her a moment and then began to fidget. "You're the one thet tuk Bill Hicks out'en his own neighborhood and clapped him in jail, ain't yen?" she continued. "I wonder whar yeh wus raised at?" "Kentucky," stammered Lemuel, unable to say anything else. "I believe yer lyin'. Sneaks don't come fnim Kentucky. Her eye3 flashed with scorn and her slight frame trembled as she said this. "I see yer takin evidence with yeh," she continued. Suddenly her eyes grew moist, her fresh lips trembled and her voice was soft and pleading. She rested a tiny, brown hand the deputy's sleeve. "Say, mister," shs said. "I don't know yeh, but I dont believe yer nacher-ly sneakin like most marshals. Bill Hicks is my dad that's why I called yeh names. Yeh see I'm I'm all alone sence Dad was tuk to jail. An now yer goin t send him away. He'll die in jail. He ain't used to being indoors." Lemuel felt a throb of pity for the girl and as compassion Increased, selfreproach for bringing sorrow to the pretty mountain flower increased. He was not a hardened marshal. He was new at the business. The arrest of the moonshiner was'sis first case and it verified the circumsance that inexperience always blunders into matters of magnitude. The girl pleaded with him Her hand on his arm stole away his senses. Her eyes reproached him, although he could not understand it, when he made his wajt out of Ihe mountains,
Night, September 30
the drawings and the evidence were left behind. Hick's daughter Susie was her name came to the county seat and lived at a boarding house while her father was locked up awaiting trial. Lemuel saw her often. Once he told her he was sorfy he ever saw her dad. Another time, he said he would wish he had never been born were It not for the fact that he went into the mountains to catch him. In fact, Lemuel did not know exactly how he felt. The night before the trial he had a long talk with her. She stood on the porch and, as he left her, she playfully pulled a hollyhock flower from a vine and gave it to him. "Will-will dad get free?" she asked pathetically. "I don't know. s I I hope so," he answered. Bill Hicks was called to the bar next day. Lemuel Hargis was tha only witness. He said he went after Hicks because everyone else had tried to get him and failed. "Is there proof that he Is a moonshiner?" asked an attorney. "No:" answered Lemuel. His voice was clear and straighforward. "I searched for a still but found none. The people in the mountains say the
prisoner never operated a still and they did not know they were talking to an officer whan they said it." Hicks could not understand this. He had been captured while making his fires, but he was discreet enough to maintain a silence. There was a long examination and the moonshiner was discharged for lack of evidence. That afternoon he met Susie. Her face was radiant. She could hardly speak for gratitude that crowded in her throat. "Say," she whispered, "Yeh ain't no sneak. Yer the best man I I ever knowed." And the blush that sprang through the tanned skin told Lemuel more than words. He explained the lack cl evidence
at the trial and also explained why he
left his drawings and exhibits in the mountains. "I'm going to resign in two weeks," he said, "and I'm coming up to your place. I'll help 3'ou 'tend still for the rest of the year." He laughed at the prospect. "And next spring," he continued. "we'll travel in the direction of Kentucky there's a whopper of a farm to be split up between a younger brother and myself. There'll be room for you and Susie." Hicks comprehended. He shook hands with the deputy. "Come up when yer out of yer mar shal job," he said and discreetly walked away some distance. "Are' you happy?" he whispered to Susie, as he held her closely for a brief minute. "Ill be happier oh, so much hap pier when yer helpin' dad to 'tend still," she shyly whispered, nestling her head on his breast. IMPORTANT G. R. & I. Changes Time September 30.

AN APPARENT DESIRE TO AFFECT FOREIGN POLICY French Academy of Medicine Is Astonished by the Work That Has Been Done for a Badly Injured Man.
(By Daout De Saint Rene.) Paris, Sept 2S. In a recent number the Cll Bias says of the situation between the United States and Japan: The press campaigns in a country of public opinion like the United States are always dangerous, and they are particularly dangerous when they appear to be inspired by a desire to move the nation to an aggressive for eign policy. This is what is happening in North America. Hardly had the Intcrnatlrnal disturbances caused by the Incident in California calmed down when they were reanimated by the projects attributed to President Itoosevelt. One moment it is i-ald that ho Intends to put before the conference at The Hague poor, slspy old conference the Corean question; the next It Is said that he wants to interfere between China and Japan, and then, again, that he has decided to send a war fleet to the Pacific as a permanent menace to Japan. This Is all pollI ttc and can only have the effect of reamimating an agitation which threatened to shako the peace of the worldOne thing is certain. Japan Is developing in an extraordinary manner, and her commerce and industries are taking her toward China. Of course the first to suffer from the extension of Japanese commerce in the extreme Orient would bo the United States. Germany and England, for their trade would diminish as that of Japan Increased. What Is to be done? Nothing, except to multiply American and European commercial agents and to make their wares better and cheaper than their rivals. Cannon balls have never done so much for a people as have the labors of their commercial men. And then one has to be quite certain that the cannon balls will be sure to bring victory, a thing which is in no wise sure for the United States In case of war with Japan. From the commercial point of view those who know among the Americans are convinced that it is no use trying to stop the progress of the extreme Orient. They even think that before lone both China and Japan will not only be able to provide sufficient for themselves, but they in their turn will be able to export their product! to America and Europe, which tlfty will be able to sell Infinitely cheaper than those at iiome. To the French Academy of Medicine has been presented by Dr. Dellr, a man who, as the result of an accident with a fowling piece while he was out shooting, had his chin and Up, a portion of his tongue, a portion of the lower jawbone, the whole of the upper jaw and his nose blown away. Medical men are astounded at the way in which the mtesing part of this shattered face have been replaced mechanically and the Ingenuity shown in doing the work. The mechanical face consists of four pieces. The first consists of a silver groove. Into which are fixed the lower teeth. This is fitted to a dental apparatus made of tin. (Continued on Page Eight.)
