| IN THE PUBLIC EYE JOHN ARBUCKLE'S NEW FAME The new way of raising ships—by compressed air—which had its latest, successful demonstra tion recently, has brought the name of the old multi-millionaire coffee merchant, John Arbuckle, into additional prominence. The naval collief Npio, struck on a-reef while going out of Xarra gausett bay. Professional wreckers of long ex perience tried to haul the big boat off, but in vain. They could not patch her hull and pump the water our, which used to be the only way be fore Arbuckle entered the field of raising sub merged ships. Finally the government sought bis aid and agreed to pay his price. The hull was sealed and made air tight, except where a great gash had been torn in her side by the jagged rocks of ike reef. l',ig compressors pumped in the air and forced the water out. I!y careful calc-ula non a suineient pressure ot air was mainiainea to keep me water trout en tering again. She floated, was towed to Newport and soon will be repaired and I>e as seaworthy as ever. This is the third or fourth job of this sort that the Arbuckle engineers have done after a wreck has been abandoned as hopelessly lost, the most sinking instance of which was the partial salvage of the United States ship Yankee, which was wrecked in the tame waters as nearly engulfed the Nero. After the Yankee went ashore the customary naval board of survey mot, looked her over with due solemnity and then declared it was useless to at tempt to raise the ship. When this opinion v.as made known-publicly the per sistent and indefatigable Arbuckle made an offer 1o the government to do the work. Grudgingly he was allowed to try his hand at it, and within a com paratively short time the “wreck" was once more afloat and bound in tow for . Newport. Hut she was destined for Davy Jones’ locker, it would seem. For in the course of this last voyage a gale of unusual violance sprang up and the work of Arbuckle's enginering crew went for nothing. The Yankee had sailed for the Port of Missing Ships. Curiously enough. John Arbuckle does not. claim to know anything much about raising ships from the bottom of the sea. He leaves that to his en gineers. He is a business man and makes the contracts. They do the tech nical, practical part of the work. Hut when this new scheme for reset ing ships was brought, to him for financial backing some time ago he was keen enough to see immediately that it was practicable and to put it to a taor oagh test without having any misgivings as to the result. John Arbuckle ;s about 75 years o!d now. lie is one of the greatest cof fee merchants in tite world; also he is a power in the sugar trade. His name is familiar to as many millions of people almost as Rockefeller’s. Yet the public knows less about his personality than it does about that of some ? 10, oud-a-year man who diligently seeks to get his name into print. MAY MARRY A GREEK PRINCEH --—-1 The gossips in London are absolutely deter mined to marry off Miss Margaretta Drexel to a prince of Greece. Soon after Mrs. Anthony Drexel gave her “small dance,” which eventually became a ball attended by more than 600 guests, it was reported that pretty Miss Margaretta was engaged to l’rince Christopher of Greece, the younger sen ot the Greek king, and a nephew of Queen Alexan dra. This rumor arose from the fact that Mrs. Drexel had planned a “young people's table" at supper. At this table Miss Anita Stewart. Miss Drex el's cousin, sat next to her fiance. Prince Miguel of Praganza, who kept everybody laughing with his somewhat antediluvian jokes in broken Eng lish. and Miss Drexel herself sat next to Prince i nristopner oi l.reece, to wnorn sue n.uue uemcii very ugreeaoie, as usual, but whom she found a little difficult to entertain. it was the prince’s first visit to England, and, being very shy, he was rather dazed at the splendor of the Drexel entertainment. He is a very "good looking" youth, who will be 21 soon, but his coining of age will nor. lie celebrated formally at Athens until late in the fall, when the Greek royal family come together after mafW- months of travel. Mrs. Anthony Drexel, although once described as a very ambitious wom an. has no idea oi forcing her daughter into any alliance, however great, which the gir! does not approve of, and Miss Drexel herself is a young wom an of strength of character. In the last three years she has refused more brilliant offers than any girl in ixmdon. and she is not likely to be carried away by the engagement of her cousin to a prince of Braganza. The Drexels, after a stay at Marienbad, will come over to Xew York in October for a short stay. “FATHER” TIRED OF HIS JOB That some Americans nave a right to vcte for an English member of parliament is not generally known, yet It is a fact. All graduates of the old er universities in England have this privilege, and those from over the water who happen to be in England at the time soon will have the chance to exercise their right, for J. O. Talbot, M. P., who has represented Oxford university for ill years, will seek re-election at the general election, now believed to be not very far off. On the death ot' the late prime minister. Sir Henry Campbell Iiannerman. Mr Talbot succeed ed to the title of “father" of tl-o house of com mons. He has sat continuously in that assembly for a longer period than any of his colleagues, be ing returned for West Kent in December, lSli.S. the same month in which the previous holder of i he title of “father" al.-o entered. In KSTi- when Hr. Gathorne-Hardy, then member of the university, went into the house of lords, he was invited to become candidate for tho vacant seat. He, therefore, resigned his seat for West Kent and was elected for tho university, a position he has lie d ever since. Paring his 41 years in the house, Mr. Talbot has held no prominen.t pub lic position. As befits the constituency which he represents, he has con cerned himself mainly with questions relating to religious and educational matters. He is an ecclesiastical commissioner and a privy councillor. DIVORCES A POLO PLAYER Mrs. Mary Lawrence Keene, wife of Foxhall II. Keene, millionaire turfman, polo player and society leader of New York city, has been granted a divorce. The decree was made by Judge Watts Parker on July 3, in Lexington, Ky., but the court and the lawyers on both sides kept the matter a pro found secret. Ali of the evidence in the case war taken by deposition by Attorneys Allan and Dun can of that city, representing Foxhall Keene, and by George Shanklin, acting for the wife. Mrs. Keene was not present in person at any stage of the proceedings. Friends of the Keenes in New York were sur prised b> the divorce as it was believed that the action had been dropped. The domestic affairs of the Keene's have been discussed in society for more i luat seven years. They separated in October, 1904. At that time it was reported their differences arose from the financial reverses suffered by Mr. Keene in the failure of the stock brokerage firm of Talbot J. Taylor & Company, in which he was a partner with Mr. Taylor, his brother-in-law. Persons close to the couple declared that had nothing to do with it and that the cause ot their separation was due to a natural dif ference of temperament resulting in incompatibility. Mrs. Keene left the fine home of her husband at Wheatley Hills, L. I., and went to live with her fa ther, Frederic Lawrence, at Bayside, L. 1. Mrs. Keene has spent much of her time since the separation in Europe, while Mr. Keene has divided his at tention between New York and Kentucky, where he has a stud farm. That Awful Song. “1 wish," said the woman with the boy of 10. ‘‘that I could chloroform Charlie while that song of T Love My Wife, but oh. You Kid!’ is going the rounds. I think beyond doubt it is the most corrupting song that has ever struck the popular favor. Every body is singing it. men. women and children; everybody absorbing that fa ctious dallying with the question of fidelity upon the part of the man. Don’t you suppose it will remain with the beys? 1 am quite sure it will. I Uelfeve they will never recover from I its influence and haven't we enough . conjugal infidelity without bringing i up our children to laugh at it? "Wherever they go they hear it—on ; the streets, at the theater, at the sea side, most of all at the seaside. If I had my way about it that song would be suppressed. To my mind it has a much more corrupting influence than an immoral book. You can get away from a book, but not from that song.” (Ireat haste .spoils achievement as in the case of the foolish farmer who pulled the rice stalk in order to hasten growth and killed the plant. j /ALLS or JUANA.CATLAN m m m ™ //y CMPuiTrprc park, c/7~y cr PTPX/CQ m a Standing fin the steps of the state capitol at Denver. Gov. Shafroth of Colorado smiled and waved his hand to a scout car that was quickly speed ing away from the capital bearing the flags of Old Mexico and the United States and followed by a dozen well filled cars. This was the final farewell to the tar and its crew of four men who were going to make a trip from Den ver to Mexico City, a distance of al most 2,400 miles, the greater part of which was unexplored. The trip was being taken to map a route between Denver and the Mexi can -capita! over which an endurance contest will he run next October. George A. Wahlgreen, a leading citi zen of Denver, last fall offered a handsome trophy to the car that would cover '.his distance with the best endurance record. Four men undertook this trip in a 20-horsepower car. which had already quite a full experience. For the past 30 days this car has been driving through Old Mexico and the men have been having strange experiences in a country where automobiles have never been before and the American never before set his foot. This path was laid over miles and miles of sandy desert wastes and rock strewn plains and parched sands. They traveled for days without the sight of a bird, wa ter. a human lace or even a human cootie. At nights they slept by the | side of their car. with revolvers in hand, and were sung to sleep by the wail of the coyotes, which broke the awful stillness of a semi-tropical des ert. The party consisted of Billy Knipper. an experienced driver of racing cars; V. Ed. Spooner, newspa per man; W. E. McCarton of Denver and James H. Howard, a guide. This party left Denver May 1 and arrived in Mexico City June 3 at mid day. The trip from Denver to El j Paso, the last stop this side of the Mexican border, was full of pleasant driving, soon to be forgotten when the car got into the unexplored coun try. The trip was made literally along mountain tops. The car start ed at an altitude of r.,173 feet above sea level and ended in Mexico City, j which is 8,000 feet above sea level. At | no time was the route below 3,500 feet. In every town they stopped at they met a lively reception. The party spent one day of rest in El Paso and this time was spent in generally overhauling the car and get ting additional supplies for a dash I into a country in which they did not j know when they would meet man again. The crew found here that the trip of the American car into Mexico was being accepted as of much greater moment than they iiad anticipated. They were informed that down in Mexico, all along the line, prepara tions were being made to receive the tourists and extend every courtesy. They left El Paso with light hearts, not knowing that it was theirs to re turn again. It was proven that the guide which they had taken on at El Paso knew little more about the roads, or pre tended to know less, than they them selves. In following his directions, they took the right fork of a danger ous looking road and went hub deep in adobe mud. Block and tackle, which was part of their equipment, came into play, and the car came out backward. They started around this and the car was bucking the sand nobly, although the men often had to get out to cut sage brush frctn the way and dig sand from under the w heels before they could make head way. Finally the car went down over the hubs in what proved to be quick sand, and refused to budge. The block and tackle proved of nc avail. They saw that it was a case of camp and wait for relief. This was their first taste of the bitter of path finding. They later found that they were stranded in a desert 46 miles fiom a railroad, without food and wa ter. They finally decided that Billy Knipper, the driver, and F. Ed. Spoon er would stay with the car and Me Carton and Howard, the guide, would walk until they found a ranch house or some other place where they could get aid. The place where they were stuck is known as Tierra Blanca, or White Earth, so called from the sand composing it. Here the sand drifted like snow and they seemed to be in the midst of great oceans of sand The wind heaped the sand through the wheels of the car like a cyclone, and as fast as they would dig the sand from under the wheels more would blow in. The hardships of the two men left with the car. were even greater than those of the relief party. The sun was broiling hot and they made a cover, throwing blankets over twe poles lying against Hie car. Their wa ter bags were empty and they squeezed all the water from the radi ator of the car. This water they mixed with some powdered peas and made a mixture which they called cold pea soup and which they said tasted like, cough medicine. They were there for three days subsisting on this fare with no solid food. At the (lose of the third afternoon they saw Howard coming over the sands holding a water bottle toward them. They rushed from their im provised tent with a shout of joy and staggered as drunk for the precious liquid. iue t.rsi tetter party mat was sent out. from El Paso were unable to lift the car from its bed of sand, and they had to return for further assistance. Six men went out in another car and by means of 3S0 feet of rope used as a block and tackle placed around the relief car they were finally able to lift the car from the sand. After taking on supplies they again plunged into the unknown country. The dangers that these men met in going through this practically un known country would fill a book. The car was met at Tula, 25 miles out of Mexico City, its final destination, and escorted into the city with great pomp and ceremony. President Diaz wel comed the pathfinders. Now the car. followed by a large number of others filled with local motorists, paraded the streets of the city, which was ban ner-flung with welcoming words. They were given a dinner that night at the Hotel Geneve and a ball on the same evening. On Sunday the party was entertained by a bull fight of real Mexican style and the pathfinding crew was given the honor of carrying Harper Lee. the greatest American bull fighter, into and around the ring several times to be reviewed by Presi dent Diaz by liis arrangement. He was present in full uniform. The car was the object of great curiosity, and many of the native Mexicans, who had been following its progress through the republic south ward. knowing the condition of the Mexican roads, declared that such a trip was impossible. This was also said in the western states through which the car passed. Motorists say that this is one of the greatest feats brought to the notice of automobiledom in years and will pave the way for a great automobile indus try in the southern republic. The friendly invasion of the cars that cover this course next October will add to the amiability of the two great American republics. University 500 Years Old.

Many and varied are the tasks which the 'phone has been called upon to perform since its use has become so universal in this country, but this case is unique.

Men stood on the banks of a river at inter vals small enough to allow each to be heard by liis nearest neighbor.

FIGHTS ID DOG TO SAVE HER SOH — MOTHER TEARS JAWS OF RABID ANIMAL FROM BOY WITH BARE HANDS. _ HOLDS BRUTE TILL AID COMES Mrs. Richards of Yonkers. New York, Wins Desperate Battle— Hurls Animal to Street Where Bullet Awaits Him. — New York.—In the long honor list of courageous mothers who have braved appalling dangers in the defense of their children the name of Mrs. E. Richards, Yonkers, merits a high place. Mrs. Richards' heart is centered in her five-year-old son. Vincent, who, while playing in front of his home the other afternoon, was attacked by a mad dog. The rabid animal had raced a mile through Van Cortlandt Park avenue spreading terror. As he dashed toward the child playing in the grassy side of the roadway there was a chorus of many cries. Put the uproar was meaningless to little Vincent and in another moment the foaming jaws had closed fast upon his leg. Jlis shriek of pain and terror was heard by the mother in an upper room of the house. Realizing that no trifling accident could draw sucli a cry of agony from the child she loved far better than her life, Mrs. Richards rushed downstairs and out into the street. She saw a sight that would have unnerved most mothers. The mad dog had attacked the little victim again and again. It stood above the helpless child, snap ping and tearing with foaming jaws. Half a dozen men were rushing ex citedly around fearing to close in upon the mad brute, hut Mrs. Richards did nut hesitate. In an instant she had sprung upon the dog and caught his jaws in her hands. They were hare hands, too. but the courageous woman thought nothing of her own danger. With strength born of desperation she grabbed the dog's upper jaw with one hand and the lower with the other. The fangs were fastened in the Caught His.Jaws in Her Hands. child’s leg but with a mighty tug the woman pulled them apart. “Run to the house, dear! she cried to her son. who, covered with bleed and dazed with terror, managed to drag himself away. Danger for the hoy had passed and the woman then thought of her own life. Knowing that the dog would rend her if she released that grip upon his jaws, she held on with every ounce of strength at her command. Woman and brute, locked in desper ate struggle, swayed over the side walk and out into the roadway. Hut still she citing to the jaws and was holding them wide apart in a grip of steel when Police Sergeant Van Steenberg reached the scene. Drawing his revolver, the bluecoat cried: “When 1 give the word throw the dog as far away from you as you can. "Now!” With her last vestige of strength Mrs. Richards hurled the dog lar into 'he roadway. Van Steenherg’s revolver spoke twice and the snarling brute rolled over dead. Kittle Vincent, bitten and torn in 15 different places, was attended by Dr. Kennedy, who cauterized all the wounds and sewed up the larger ones. Mrs. Richards came out of her thrill ing battle without a scratch. The body of the dog was removed to the health bureau for examination. Revolver Shot Cures Tothache.

TOWS BURNING BOAT TO SHALLOW BY TEETH WISCONSIN ATTORNEY PROVES HIMSELF A HERO IN RIVER ACCIDENT. Manitowoc. Wis.—Strength in his teeth and ability to swim powerfully enabled Attorney Fred Dieke of Two Rivers to prove himself a hero the o*her day. When his gasoline launch exploded with seven women aboard he jumped overboard, took the painter in his teeth and thus towed the craft to shallow water, where the wom< ti jumped out and quenched the flames. The lawyer with a party of Two Kivers women was on a pleasure run up the east Twin river, when with out warning there was an explosion in (he bow of the boat. The engine stopped and the women screamed and were about to jump overboard when He Hauled the Little Craft Into the Shallow Water. Dicke thought of the way to save the situation. The guests, in terror, were about to plunge into the water, although not one of them couid swim. Shouting to them to keep seated, the attorney seized a long rope he used as a paint er and plunged overboard. Holding the line in his teeth, he swam until it was taut. Carefully letting himself down, he felt bottom. Using every bit of his strength, he hauled the little craft in to the shallow water, at the same time commanding the occupants to keep overhoardshrd ohrd ohrdluhrdlu leap overheard as soon as they reached him. All of the women were badly burned, but before the fire reached them they were near enough to the shore to leave the launch. Meanwhile the Two j Rivers life saving'erew was warned of the accident and responded with three doctors. Falls 2C0 Feet; Is Alive.

With five friends, employes of the power company, Davoud went to the canyon early in the morning, It be ing the intention of the party to as cend the mountain to its highest point. Davour was leading in the ascent when he lost his footing. Me struck several times in the descent, the first time landing on a pile of snow, which broke the force of the fall. From that point he made several turns and in the final descent, according to the witnesses, he appeared to roll down the side of the mountain much after the fashion of a revolving barrel. When picked up Davoud soon re gained consciousness, though dazed and bleeding badly from many cuts and bruises on his face and body. Imprisoned Two Days by Wolves.

For 48 hours they had been imprisoned in a lonely cabin on a deserted ranch 18 miles from home. While the husband and father, aid ed by a gang of 150 section men or dered out by the division superin tendent, searched for them the wom en were beating off with clubs the at tacks of the wolves, which tried to get at them by tearing off the sides of the cabin and digging under the foundations. The mother and daughter were found totally exhausted. They had sustained themselves with a few7 crusts of hard bread found in the hut. Bull Scares Woman to Death. Norristown, Pa.—Mrs. Ada E.
