MRS. J. LAWRENCE BOWNE. GBRLTAR' June 4 Hector Fuller, war correspondent and all around soldier of fortune arrived here two days too late to intercept his former charge, J. Lawrence Mott, 3d son of the millionaire head of the New Tork iron company, who eloped with Mrs. Francis Hewitt Bowne a former actress and wife of a wealthy resident of Long Island. The couple ran away from New ork on a tramp steamer, bound for Japan, shipping as stewardess and sailor. Fuller has ben offered $25,000 by Motfs father to take the young man away from his affinity and will now make another dash after the young man to Port Said, which is the next stopping place of the vessel on which the elopers are now enjoying their romance.

FAST RACE HORSES BEING WORKED OUT Whether horse races will be held at the driving park track this summer will probably be decided at the next meeting of the Richmond Driving park association. Already three or four rather prominent horseman of the city have some of their animals at the park barns, giving them workouts in the afternoons. During the past week, J. C. Baker, a well known horseman living north of this city, placed several of his horses on the track. "Imperial Doc," owned by Baker, Is expected to make fair speed on the local track and in case he does as well as is expected of him probably will be placed on the circuit. ' Mayor Zimmerman has two animals at the park. "Billy Buster," one of the mayor's fastest animals, is being worked out every day. George Dougan who had nine head of fast horses at the track last season has placed them on an Indianapolis track. He expects to work them on a circuit this summer. ; The track at the driving park is in fine condition, it having been worked over during the past month or so. Society of Poisoners. Arsenic has perhaps been more frequently used than any other, poison for criminal purposes. It has been proved Identical with the "wonderful elixir" of the. seventeenth century, when secret poisoning became so frequent in Italy. Then young widows were abundant in Rome, and most of th unhappy marriages were speedily dissolved by the death of the husband. A secret society of young matrons was discovered, which met at the house of La Spara, a reputed witch, who sup plied them with a slow, tasteless, colorless poison, carefully calculated to kill a husband in just the time that suited the purchaser. La Spara and thirteen of her companions were hanged, a large number of the culprits were whipped half naked through the streets of Rome, while others of the highest rank escaped with heavy fines and banishment. Coal and the Arts. An Intimate connection between coal and the arts is seen in the career of Thomas Brltton. the celebrated "musical small coal man." Over his coal shop In Jerusalem passage, Clerkenwell. he established in 167S a musical club, where every Thursday for nearly forty years was held a concert, at which Handel and all the greatest musicians of the day performed. To t love of music Brltton joined a know! edge of bibliography, which brought Mm Into contact witn Barley, earl of Oxford, and other collectors. But he continued until his death in 1714 to sell coal in the streets of London and would frequently join his noble patrons on a book bunting expedition attired la his blue smock and with the coal Back he had been carrying all day over his arm.

LARGE MOOSE CLASS GETS A GOAT RIDE One of the largest classes of candidates ever Initiated into a secret order of this city was taken into the Moose lodge last night when 46 applicants for "Mooseshlp" rode the goat and were safely unloaded inside the doors of mystery of the order. In addition to tnis large class, fifty-two applicants will be taken Into the lodee next Mon day night. This will increase the total membership to above 600, believed to De tne largest secret society member. ship in this city. Supreme organizer MoHoney of Indianapolis visited the city last evening and took part in the initiation of the big class of candidates. He expressed himself as -wrll pleased with the showing of the local loage. This large membership has been se cured in tnis city In two and one-half years, and the large number of mem bers secured recently has resulted In tne supreme lodge giving the Rich mond lodge a special dispensation to take in members at reduced rates until July 6. Thunderbolts. Thunderbolts are not completely understood. They -are lightning phenomena, spherical or ball lightning. They are gaseous beyond doubt for when they explode with great violence no trace of matter can be discovered. Their color is bluish, and they appear at once, when at all, after terrific flashes of lightning of the darting or filamentary type. Sometimes the luminous balls fall slowly, but do not usually strike the earth, but move horizontally as If supported by the electrical field of force of the earth. When they explode a strong wave moves in air in all directions, and a penetrating odor of ozone fills the adjacent space. The energy of explosion Is supposed to be that utilized In the formation of oxygen into the ozone by the lightning. Knowledge of the cause and real nature of thunderbolts Is meager. Tbey are more plentiful at sea than over land. New York American. . Not Accustomed to Princes. An English paper tells this story about Oliver Wendell Holmes. When In England in 1SS6 he was at a great reception in London. He sat quietly in a corner, feeling a little faint and, observing refreshments in the distance, be turned to an elederly man. whom he supposed to be a butler or something of that kind, and asked for a bottle of soda water. The supposed servant brought the soda with great alacrity and remarked: "I am very glad to meet you. Dr. Holmes. I am Prince Christian." The autocrat of the breakfast table was naturally taken aback, but quickly recovered himself and said: "Dear me! I have not had much acquaintance with princes at least not enough to distinguish them from waiters at a glance. . After that the genial poet soon became the center of a circle of royal people, whom he entertained for hours.

WATER WORKS

PROPOSAL UP Attorneys A. M. Gardner and H. U. Johnson this afternoon conferred with the board of public works concerning the water works contract proposal, recently prepared by the two attorneys, acting for the city. The city proposes to have the new water works contract modeled after the proposal contract The board of works first considered the time limit for the contract which was left blank in the section of the proposal covering this feature, and on the advice of the attorneys decided it should be 25 years. The Richmond City Water Works company, which will bid for the new contract, now claims that under the terms of the contract which It now holds, and which will expire next October, it has a perpetual franchise for the use of the streets of the city, as no time limit for the use of the streets was stipulated in the contract the company now operates under. Attorneys for the city argued with the board that if the new contract was made for a period of twenty-five years it was probable the Richmond City Water Works company would waive its claim to a perpetual franchise in the event it is the successful bidder for the new contract The period of time the contract shall be effective is set forth in section one of the proposal. Before going to press this afternoon the board had approved of sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, all of which have to do with the use of the streets. Jefferson Club Election. The Jefferson club will elect officers at its regular meeting Wednesday evening, June 5, at the club rooms in the Colonial Building. After the business meeting which occurs at 8:00 o'clock, there will be a supper and refreshments will be served. All members are urged to be present (Signd) E. B. Johnson, President. C. W. Caldwell, Secretary. 4-2t Not a Scot. From some unexplained cause the engine attached to a Scottish express once broke down near Y. A worthy quickly put bis bead out of the window and inquired: "What on earth's wrang, gairdT The guard was cross, for no records could be broken that journey, and testily he replied: "Well, Scottie, the driver's a countryman of yours, and the beggar has used all the hot water in the boiler to mix grog with." "Na, na, galrd, the chlel'a nae a Scot" came the retort "or he wldna trouble muckle aboot the water." He Got Thore. A New England bishop was on his way one winter day to fill an episcopal appointment in the lumber country when he ran Into a old fashioned Maine blizzard. He had a dozen miles before him when It burst and he was traveling in an old fashioned mountain stage drawn by two wiry horses. They fought about six miles bravely, and then it began to look hopeless. The driver and the bishop were wondering how they and the horses would live through the night when there came a whoop. In a few moments six husky lumberjacks mounted on six northern Maine horses came up to them through the swirL "Well, bishop," said the leader, "wa was bound you should get through to that meeting if we could help you." The good bishop was deeply touched at this show of religious zeal and tribute to him and his cause and so expressed himself. "Yes," replied the man, "we'll get you through. You see, we was paid yesterday, and the boys has made up a thunderin big pool on whether er not you'd git there. We boys has got a whole month's pay on your end. You'll git there." He did. and be got half the pool for a new scboolhouse. , What Did He Mean? At a supper party shortly before the production at the Duke of York's theater in London of Henry Arthur Jones' play. "The Princess' Nose," some one said to the late Sir W. S. Gilbert across the table: "What do you think of Jones new title, Gilbert?' "Don't know what it is." growled Sir William. "It is quaint to say the least" was the reply. "He calls his piece The Princess Nose." "H'm," grunted Gilbert meditatively; "hope it will run." A substantial, easily digested food like Grape-Nuts means much to the man who Is ambitious to "get ahead." GRAPE-NUTS carries a ration of true nourishment for body and brain which paves the way to efficient work. "There's a Reason" Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, Battle Creek, Mich.

CALL AMBASSADOR Wilson from Mexico City to Washington, D. C.

(National News " Association) WASHINGTON, June 4. Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson, at the request of President Taft. will come to Washington in the next few days to confer with the president and secretary Knox concerning the Mexican situation. The ambassador has been summoned owing to the inability of Madero to quell the uprising. HERBERT'S FAT FRIEND. He Kopt the Appointment, but Didn't Transact Any Business. Victor Herbert the musician, owns a six story house up in the seventies, says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times Star. It is buiit tall and narrow, like a well. Mr. Herbert's music room and study occupies the entire sixth floor, and there is no elevator. The other day one of Mr. Herbert's acquaintances wished to see him on a matter of business. "I'll be here until sharp noon." said Mr. Herbert. "Then I must go to till an engagement. I can't wait a minute after the hour." Mr. Herbert's friend is built a good deal like an oxange. He makes a good deal of fuss about plain walking. Stair climbing Is a thing he never does except under . compulsion. When he reached Herbert's home it was just twenty minutes of 12. The servant telephoned up to the music room. "Jell him to come right up," said Mr. Herbert Mr. Herbert's fat friend began climbing. He paused at the top of the first flight to breathe a. little while. His pause grew longer and more Impassioned at the top of each succeeding flight When he got to the sixth floor he was just able to dab a damp band at Herbert and sit down in a stuffed chair and begin to remove the evidences of internal heat from his streaming forehead. Mr. Herbert pulled out his watch. "It's five minutes to 12." he said warnlngly. His fat friend waved his hand at him mutely and went light on doing some of the best panting of the current season. His well padded sides rose and fell like a hot air balloon just before the ropes are cast off. Two minutes." said Mr. Herbert iUh, uh ugh." said his fat friend, feeling the veins in his neck thicken. "Twelve o'clock." said Mr. Herbert snapping the cover of his watch. "Sorry. I must go. Good by." Fifteen minutes later the wraith of a fat man crept down six flights of stairs, standing on each landing and holding to the banister until his knees stopped trembling. "Tell uhuh Victor I'll meet him at the-Lambs club," said be to Mrs. Herbert "Street door."

The Theaters

The first appearance yesterday afternoon and evening of the stock company which is to remain indefinitely at the Murray, made an excellent impression upon the patrons of that house. These players are superior of their class and presented an interesting and effective play of the romantic sort called "Mother and Son." which dealt with Parisian life and whose plot is concerned with the development of character rather than with involved action. The cast was well balanced the Interpretation of the role of the heroine if the play could be said to have a heroine a former conspicuous member of the demi-monde who was at the time of the development of the play living a life of respectability as the aunt of "Captain Daniel." who was really her son and whose marriage to a young girl was opposed when this fact was discovered, by Miss Mary Frost, being very well done. Miss Frost, Indeed, preserved the theatric verities with as much finesse as some of her more celebrated confreres on the boards. 9 Mr. Lewis as "Captain Daniel," gave a discriminating performance, untinged with exaggeration and the other members of the company displayed a dramatic acumen not usually expected from theatrical aggregations of this class. Miss Flora Frost of impressive stage presence, as the aunt of Captain Deniel's sweetheart. Edward Wolsott the possessor of a voice of considerable timbre as the former lover of the "mother," and Edward Williams in the part of the father of the girl, added to the success of the principals, The company was at some disadvantage on account of the late arrival of their scenic effects and were, therefore, unable to put on "The Tenderfoot" until the end of the week. . E. G. W. The tunnel through the Jungfrau toward its top has been completed. Ultimately tourists will be taken to a point within a few hundred feet of the summit by an elevator.

. A FUNNY SULTAN. He Liked te Play Practical Joke U pearHie Invited Guesta. We all like oar little joke, and eastern potentates have from time immemortal enjoyed the reputation of be-' lng the merriest of monarch. The Moorish palace of Sultan Abu Yakub Yussuf at Seville known today as the Alcazar contains one of the most elaborate practica I jokes extant. When in a gay mood some Important merchant or notable of Seville would receive a pressing Invitation summoning' him to the presence. In a fever of de-' lighted expectancy. the flattered guest would don his whitest raiment and hie him to the palace. There he would be ceremoniously, conducted to the gardens and directed ' up the long avenue. But alas, halfway up It he would Inevitably tread upon a moving flagstone resting upoa a spring, and immediately countless fine jets of water would gush out of the ground and from the surrounding shrubbery and drench him. Amid the jeers of the courtiers the luckless and. bedraggled wight would beat aa undignified retreat. Before he was allowed to leave the palace, however, be was sworn to secrecy on pain of death. At all costs nothing must make the joke fall flat when repeated. The treacherous flagstone has beeu removed, and today the visitor may pass with Impunity, but a peseta to the head gardener will usually cause the fountains to play. Not many people know of their existence, however. The water Is sprayed through hundreds of tiny pipes, so small as to be almost Invisible, which are placed la the cracks between the flagstone Strand Magazine.
