PARIS. Oct. 81. (New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram.) Pari pos
sesses a blanchlssetise, or washerwoman,
who Is a count ens and the god-daughter of
no less a person than the late Duo a'Au
male, who wu also god-father and unci
to the late Prince Henri d'Orleana. Para
graphs have appeared In , the press to thl
ITecr without locating or naming the coun
ess, but the World correspondent found
her before an Ironing board at 11 Rue le
Cluse. a narrow street in the poor quarter
of Montmartre, near the Flac Cllthy. Her
laundry comprised a room possibly sis
yards square, with appurtenances pitiably
Inadequate.
The countess, a refined and dignified lit
tle woman, wore a dark apron and black
Ince rap. Bhe wore glasses and suffering
whs written upon without obliterating the
nobility of, her features.. When the corre
spondent offered the noble washerwoman
lils card, simultaneously explaining his
mission, she said.-
"No, No. I can't be Interviewed. It's
Impossible. My two assistants have al
ready left me on learning my identity.
They are of the people, and said mockingly,
'We cannot thlnlc of working beside such
a grand e dame.' Then the landlord cam
and I was forced to borrow $1 to pay the
balance of a month's rent," said the poor
countess, tear rising in her eyes. She was
assured tnat the World wanted her tory
for America only. The counters Invited the
correspondent to take the solitary chair,
"Js'ot while you stand, countes," replied
the correspondent.
"Don't treat me as the countess," she
answered. "I am only a poor washer
woman and a very miserable one." A a
compromise both stood.
"I am the Countess de' Francquevllle,
daughter of a general of brigade in th
French army in Africa," she said. "Father
was promoted from colonel by Napoleon
III and on several occasion saved the llf
of the Duo d'Aumale. , From gratitude
the duo became my godfather. I was born
at sea off Algiers, my mother dying at my
birth. My husband, the Count d Franc
queville, was my cousin and our name
were the same before our marriage. My
huBband committed, suicide twenty year
ago after losing a large sum at cards.
Fortnne Goes with Bank.
"Once I bad 810,000 Income from property
left by my father, but I lost my fortune
In the Rousnel & Myer banking failure.
Mr. Myer committed suicide after th
failure. When the duo lived he made
liberal provision for , me personally, but
In bis will, Instead of leaving m a modest
pension, he left me a sum involving mil
lions. His relatives refused payment, and
I lack funds to fight in th courts. I
have tried many thing in my struggle for
life, even sewing rabbit skins. Then I
fl..lriAi a tf-tf lnnnilrv ffnttln tVtla lfttl
place on credit. But now the story is out,
t am ' undone, deserted by my assistants
and my credit gone. Before thl I could
make nearly $4 weekly after paying my
two women, but, worst of all, the due's
oame is dragged Into my miserable store."
Turning to hide Tier tears, the poor,
oble woman pretended to occupy herself
with her work. Gaining composure the
jountesa explained that the Duo de
rhartrea, brother of D'Aumale, th Duo de
Kemours and th other ducal nephews, In
tludlng the Duo d'Orleana, OrleanlBt pre
.ender to the crown, ar still such a power
n France that no leading lawyer would
Jure to undertake to fight her case hon-
'lf I ever push my claim, I shall leave
France and go to England during th
trial. I am fearful of what might befall
ne. In thl same quarter lives an old
lervant of the duo, to whom he left a
enslon of 8.000 franca yearly. The heirs
ivcn refused to pay this. His wife died
if- chagrin and he Is now a concierge."
The countess Is apparently 48 years old.
The Due d'Aumale left the Chantllly ea
gle, valued at many millions, to th state,
I large sum to hi brother, the Duo
lu Chartres, and provided for hi nephews,
leaving the bulk to the Due de Orleana.

FIND ANCIENT SCHOOL ROOM

Days of Babylonian

(Copyright, 1908, by Press Publishing Co.)
BERLIN, Oct. 81. (New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) A German
priest named Vincent Schell, making ex
cavations in an ancient Babylonian city,
has unearthed a school Just as it was 4.0O0
year ago In the time of King Hammurabi
It is a small house of sunburnt brick and
stand In the midst of th most populous
district of the city of Seapur, Just opposite
the great temple. It has many inscribed
brick, from th cuneiform inscriptions on
which Father Scheil has reconstructed th
life of an ancient Babylonian school.
One brick says: "He who learn to writ
well In th school will shin as th sun."
There were seven small rooms In th
school, each with Its various kinds of brick
In one room were found brick with gram
matical exercises. The pupils evidently
sat on th ground In row with soft clay
brick In their hand painfully forming- the
hard cuneiform letters. Father Schetl says
th thumb mark of the teacher are to b
detected where he smudged, over the. pu
pil' mistake. I
There waa a room where advanced schol
ar learned to writ th elaborate and
highly poetical form of adulation often
seen on Babylonian monuments. Much Im
portance wa attached to learning weight
and measures, to arithmetic- and geometry,
but the chief branches were grammar,
writing and th expression of adulatory
forms. There is evidence that girl got
pretty much th same education as boy
and Father Schell found contracts In which
th language and law had been revised by
a learned woman named Amatbaon. There
Is evidence that a pupil was occupied with
learning to write from seven to fourteen
years.

charge of systematic and atrocious cruelty
on a private of the same regiment named
Bayer. Bayer was a country youth, being
clumsy and slow to learn th drill. Day
after day he wa flogged, beaten, kicked
and otherwise tormented. One day he was
struck on the head with such violence that
blood poured out of his nose and ears. The
victim suffered from violent headache tor
weeks afterwards. On another occasion
he was forced to crawl round the drill
ground-, licking th asphalt paving with
his tongue.
H was sent to th regimental Infirmary,
but in spit of his Illness was punished In
the abdomen till ba fainted. He was
held firmly while his tormentors inflicted
agonizing pain On him by flashing dazzling
sunlight into his open eyes with a
reflector.
One medical officer ram on duty In a
drunken condition and called In two soldiers
to hold Bayer while a third thrust a gag
Into his mouth. The medical officer then
took a big stick and beat Bayer from head
to foot till his body was one mass of
wounds and sores and the stick broke. He
drew his sword and belabored Bayer there
with. Inflicting dangerous wounds. When
exhausted he ordered that Bayer be pitched
Into the grounds, where he lay several
hour bleeding and unconscious till merciful
comrsdes crept out and brbught him Into
the building again. When this affair was
brought to their notice the authorities
simply discharged Bayer from the army

an ambulance stretcher.

ment that he wns blinded In both eyes,
become totally deaf and his arm fractured
and left unset for nearly a week. His
whole body was In a terrible state. This
happened In July and Bayer is still a
wreck. Incapable of work and still suffer

ter, had a great race thl week.
Ther are cheap restaurants which cater
to these youngsters with the insolently
healthy digestions, and In these no men
are allowed. Altogether the "midinettes"
form a most attractive feature of ?arls.
Last Sunday, under th auspice- of a
sporting paper, more than 8,000 "midi
nettes" indulged in an eight-mile race
from Pari to Nam rte. , visiting sov
ereign ever drew such " orowds In the
Champa Ely sees, in fact the whole rout
wa so packed tha the racers were badly
Impeded.
Their costumes ranged from bathing suits
and bloomers to really dainty walking cos
tumes, with short skirts. The poor "midi
nettes" were horrified to find their ranks
Invaded by women whose hands showed
no trace of work and who had low-browed
men with them as alleged trainers.
Emulous of the "midinettes" the "chan
sonnlers," or song writers of Mont Martre,
organized a race to Suresnes from tha fa
mous Cabaret Quata arts and back, the
competitors to compose a song en route.
Tha subject of the song was given out at

was won by La' Fourchardlere.

To anyone acquainted with the real facts
of the rltuation and the actual objects and

IOWA CITY. la., Oct TL-(Speclal Tele
gram.) The Nebraska Comhusker tri
umphed over Iowa at Iowa City today on
the gridiron. Booth' pupils amassing threa
touchdowns nnd seventeen points and de
nying th Hawkeyes more than a single
score. The victory for Nebraska was more
complete than Is indicated by th final re
sult for the consoling touchdown credited
to Iowa waa due more to good fortune than
to foot ball prowess. The Cornhuskera had
possession of the oval on their twenty-five
yard line, when a penalty waa exacted for
holding, which carried It back to within
five yards of the goaL At this Juncture
Captain Bender made th mistake of at
tempting to carry the ball ont of danger by
resorting to a trick, th crisscross, when the
more advantageous play would hav been
a punt A fatal fumble by the Nebraska
runner cost the Cornhuskexs possession of
the ball and It passed to Iowa on Ne
braska's five-yard line. Twice th Hawkey
backs plunged Into th line, but the Corn
huskers' forwards resisted with fierce de
termination In guarding their goal. Again
a penalty came to tha aid of the Iowan's.
and the ball wa carried half th distance
to the Nebraska goal and put In play on
the yard and a half line. A final plung
and Iowa waa over.
Redeems HI Mlaplay. '
But while Bender' blunder netted the
first touchdown scored against th Ne
braska eleven since the season of 1901, the
subsequent brilliance displayed Ly Ne
braska's blonde cnptaln, waa a material
factor in the triumph achieved by his
team. Twice he sprlntered around Iowa'
right end and raced down the field and
across the Hawkeye goal. Kla first run,
In which he dashed rlong for eighty yards,
was a marvel of toot ball skill. Signaling
for a quarter back run around tha end.
he found his progress iisputed by two
uc;rs. Like a flash he wheeled and
broke toward the mass of struggling play
ers. Squliir.lng and wn.gling, on he went
and before the lowaj.' cam to a full real
ization of their danger, Bv!or ve clear
of every warrior on the low-.. tm. Then
they set sail to catch him, but th Ne
braska taptaln wa too fleet cf foot to be
overtaken.
Jn the final half ha, skirted Iowa' right
end for fifty yards, dodging auveral tack
ier In his flight and planted th ball
behind the goal line. ,
Nebraska's third touchdown m aoored
only ten seconds before the whistle sounded
the call of time. Th Comhusker rushed
the ball down the field on a su.-wvesslon of
line plunges and n.asses on tackles and
Grave waa pushed across th goal.
fumbles Are ?saatrous.
The persistence with which Nebraska
rambled figured .argely in the result Had
the Comhusker possessed the ability to
hold fast to the ball when within striking
distance of a touchdown, tho Hawkeyes
would have Buffered defeat by a mich more
decisive score. The statistics of tn game,
however, read largely In Nebraska' favor.
In yards gained the Comhuukers ar cred
ited with Sll and Iowa with 190. In return
ing kicks Nebraska brought the ball back
ninety-five yards, while Iowa retuined It
seventy. Nebraska waa thrown for losses
totaling seven yards and Iowa suffered to
the extent of twenty-two yards. Iowa waa
held for down or waa forced to punt nln
timea and Nebraska tnly twice. The penal
tie against Nebraska were aggravatlngly
frequent, the Cornhuskera being set back
a total of 116 yards, while th score
against Iowa waa thirty yards.
In comparison with their overthrow a
the hands of Minnesota university two
weeks ago, th Hawkeye displayed sur
prising reversal In form. They charged
the Nebraska Una with a fierceness that
forced tbe Cornhuskera to exert their every
ounce of energy and putting Booth' pupil
to their severest strain of the present year.
In the, final half, hswever, Nebraska' de
fense stiffened in superb style and the
plunges of the heavy Iowa backs ware of no
avail. Nebraska's offense was not up to
the usual standard in the early momenta
of the struggle and Captain Bender re
versed his tactic by sending moat of tha
plays around Iowa's ends, which program
netted results more satisfactory than th
previous efforts to buck through th Iowa
line.
Jonea Iowa's Star.
i
Jonea waa Iowa's star ground gainer, ons
of his dashes netting forty yards. Mc
Gowun at right tackle waa a tower of
strength In the Iowa line and most of the
plays directed at him availed Nebraska
only slightly. Left End Benedict divided
with Bender the honors for Nebraska. Ills
punting netted Nebraska many yard on
the exchanges, while he was used fre
quently to carry th ball. His longest gain,
which was thirty yards, put the Comhuuk
ers on Iowa's ten-yard line. Here Booth'
pupils refused to be denied, and a succes
sion of - tackle masses and stralght-lln
bucks netted the final touchdown. Left
Tackle Mason wa a distinct factor In Ne
braska's triumph and he broke through the
Iowa line persistently and spoiled th
Hawkeyes' plays. Both managements were
disappointed with the attendance, which
numbered less than 1.500 persons. Iowa de
clined the suggested transfer to Omaha
and the result Is a loss to Iowa's exchequer.
The Nebraska guaranty waa only enough
to pay the expenses of the trip. The crowd
was decidedly hostile to tha victor and
the Incessant Interruption with the call
ing of Nebraska' signal undoubtedly was
responsible for many of their fumbles. Th
