C0STUMER GETS HAH COLUMBIA American Darheim Deromo Tired of English liny Life Mrs. Astor nd Lilly Lanurtry In Identi cal Goivni. LONDON, July 4. (Special.) That ex ceedingly smart society woman, the Mar quise de Breteuil who, before her marriage tc the French nobleman, was a Miss darner of New York, has had a mortlfy li.g experience. Bhs formed one of the king's house party at Windsor Castle for Ascot and becouso of the nonarrlval of seme special gowns from Paris she was almost compelled to wear a costume that l;i.d already adorned her person. To have rppearcd In the royal procession to te famous race-course in any but a new "creation" would havo been fatal to her reputation as a dresser. At the very last moment she Jumped Into an automobile, lent her by the king, motored to London, made imperative demand upon Kate Rellly and Fnrpitn, and mibscq lently ap peared In a fr ck tV'at was th envy of many of her fill iw piif's. This American wjmnn's Inclusion In hi malesty's house jprty was due to a recent renewal of an o'd fr'end.ihlp, which existed between the two Dome years ago. It oc rurred during King Kdwards last trip to France, when he met both the mar quise and the marquis end Invited them to Windsor. Among the others Invlud to the Thsmes tlde caslle was I ndy Gordon Uummlng. the marguite's Klstrr. tut. to everybody's urprlse, she refused, the "command." Clcs8lp Fays null ' openly that the reason for her refusal 1j the snub administered to her husband, who was not Included In the Invitation. It will be remembered that the latter was connected with a card icandal some years ao and since then Lady Gordon Cummlng has eschewed society. It Is pretty generally felt that the king was guilty of a most unforunate slip In Inviting the second of the Garner helressess. American Duchesses Retire. Although American women are taking a leading part In the festivities of the Lon don season It Is generally remarked that the Anglo-American duchesses have retired Into their shells. The duchess of Marl borough, who before her separation from her husband was always a member of the king's party at Ascot, Is now In Switzer land with her second son who Is 111. She Is not expected back at Sunderland house until the autumn has set In. It Is said that even If she wero In London and had not the excuse of a sick son and a de ceased step-father to keep her out of society, she would find another excuse. The duke and duchess of Roxburghe were tc form part of th9 Windsor house party hut did not turn up. The couple are now back in their barrack-like home, Floors Castle, where the duke Is always su premely happy. The dislike of society Is growing on htm so that now, like his countryman, the duke of Buccleuch, he de clares that ho would as soon take a ticket to Hades as to London at the height of the season. As I write all the blinds of Strafford house, the magnificent London residence which the ducal couple rented from the Colehrookes, are tightly shut and the premises tenanted by a caretaker only. The Roxburghe lease runs out the last of July so I suppose they have used It for the last time. Lily Duchess of Marlborough, who years ago was one of the greatest of American hosiesyes In London, now takes little or no interest In the round of gab ties. To be sure she still has her box at the opera and now and then she entertains a select party of her closest friends, Including the kins; but beyond that she does not go. As a matter of fact the better part of her time Is given over to a watchful care of her young son, L'llly Reresford. Just at present tliat active Individual is devoting much of his time to horse-back riding. The horse hasn't been born thut he fears to mount and he declares thnt when he becomes older he will be a Jockey. A very good story concerning Mis "What do you think of a man whose lifo is devoted to preventing poverty, to help ing the widow and orphan, to the en couragement of thrift, and to providing for the later years of others! This is tho work accomplished by the modern Life Insurance Agent. THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. PAtOt mobtov, rrMt. Strongest In the World. X. Z. XEXX.T, Maaagsx, Outt, Waldorf Astor, Jr., Is going the rounds. It appears that the young American matron ordered a beautiful dress of the very lut ost style from a Paquin Paris house and wore it to tho Ascot races. Imagine her surprise upon arriving nt the historic course to find Mrs. Itngtry the center of an admiring group arrayed In a costume the exact duplicate of her own, e.ven to the hat. Mrs. Astor retreated In confusion and Indignation to her motor car and was Im mediately driven away to Clleveden. A change was effected and later In the day she appeared again on the course. To appear during one afternoon arrayed in two costumes Is an Innovation and at tracted wide comment and led to the story leaking out. The frocks which created all the trouble were In pale gray with double skirts over which were worn Diroctoire coats, finished with the Innumerable buttons typical of the period. Illg gray hats with enormous plumes of the same color and shado com pleted the costumes. One version of the story declares that Mrs. Langtry'a was the original from which the American's had been modelled, while another credits the latter woman with the honor of being first in the field. It Is safe to say that the modiste, who supplied them will get no furthers orders from either leader of fashion. Mrs. Pnlmer Good Rarer. Those who have been at Hampton house this season unite in declaring that Mrs. Totter Putmer's Mayfalr mansion la more beautiful than ever. Quite recently she bought some magnificent bronses at Chris lie's at bargain prices and she has set them up about the house. The Chicago society woman is one of the best bargainers In London and dealers have learned to be very careful In trading with her. She nsver purchases an article before first getting expert opinion as to the real value. Above all the refuses to pay "Morgan prices." Whenever It comes to her ears that J. Plerpont Morgan is Interested In an article she drops it like a hot coal. This feeling against being "Morganlited" by the art dealers Is not confined to Mrs. Potter Palmer, but Is now very general throughout London. The majority of those who attend Christie's auctions are well ac quainted with the dealers who have the "purchasing ear" of tho American million aire and do not waste their time bidding against them above a reasonable price. Thefts at Kllte Ball. Some beautiful odds and ends disappeared from Dorchester house the night of the royal ball. The fact has been as carefully guarded as a state secret, for the Whitelaw Reids are more sensitive to things of this natuie being found out about their enter tainments than even English people. Scent bottles, two snuff boxes, antique ash trays and even statuettes are the things which have disappeared. The majority of them belong to Colonel Holford. As everything in the house Is insured no one will suffer from a monetary point of view, though artistically speaking it would be impossible to replace the lost articles. There is a story about which I cannot veiify to the effect than one or two of Mies Reld's wedding pres nts, which she brought down to show to Princess Pa!rieia of Connaught, were also taken. Tho Reld's did not adopt the precaution of hiring de tectlves to mix with tho guests becauso the ball was really a comparatively small one and made up of the very lite of American and British society onlf .

P., who has Just re signed the position of secretary of the Amal gamated Society of Engineers on a question of principle Is one of the finest types of the English labor leader. He has gone through the mill of hard work and privation and is a self-made man who hus good reason to be proud of the Job he has turned out. Mr. Earnes has restgr cd cs a protest against the lack of discipline among the men of his union in the Northeast coast shipbuilding yards. These men have been receiving higher wages than the ship builders on the Clyde and at Relfast. This was all very well when times were good, but when shipbuilding slump came a few months ago the employers found that work was leaving the Tyne and going to the cheaper building centers. Half the working population of Sunderland-on-Tyne, for Instance, was out of employment a couple of months ago because of the luck of work at the shipyards. Employers Ask Reduction. I In ti ls sltuutlon the employers approached the men and asked them to accept a reduc tion of wages to the lewl o( the other j districts in the hope of winning back s Tie of the work that had been lost. The men ! refused nnd the masters insisted, w'th the remit tha: a strike took place. The execu tive of the Amalgamated Society of En gineers, to which the strikers belong, Inter vened and alter many conferences arrived nt a settlement with the mnrt'-rs. Ti e men refused to nceept the settle, j ment und moie conference took place, i The masters were angry and threatened j to close their yards for good, b it Mr. Earnes and hts ass el .t. s prevailed on them to malto another offer to the men, which the trade unkn officials declared was a fair one, and which they a1vis"t i '. men to accept.

Th engi neering trade was at the b ittom of a deep depression and thousands of m n Were unmphied. He tiampid ti e str. eli of London for a year seklns wor.t anj finding none, and barely keeping himself from starvation. Maklas of a Socialist. This experience made him a socialist and whrn he found employment again he threw himself Into the work i f labor organ ac tion. He was associated with John Hums, now a minister of the crown. In organising g branch of the Amalgamated society and In lVvi he succeeded Mr. Bums as a member of the executive council of Iht soctvy. In ISM he became assistant secretary, but In ISI'5 ho had a difference of opinion with the other officers and resigned on a ques tion of principle and went back to work In a machine shop. In 1S97, however, his comrades called him back to their service as general secretary and he has held that post ever since. Mr. Burns was elected to Parliament for one of the Glasgow divisions at tho lat general election, and there Is no man whose opinion carries more weight in the coun cils of the labor party. He Is a man of rather less than middle height with a quiet, thoughtful face, and ha Is the very antithesis of the popular conception of tho agitator. As a matter of fact, his work Is done more In th office and the committed room than on the platform, although when occasion requlrea, he can be a forceful speaker. His strong point Is statistics. He haa all the figures bearing on the engineering Industry at his fingers' ends and he Is reckoned In Parlli ment to be a master of finance. As gen eral secretary of the Amalgamated sochty he has had the handling of accumulated funds amounting to mote than $3,0)0,000.

CALL FOR THE BEST OF CORN National Corn Show Impressed on the Farmer's Mind. DOUGLAS COUNTY CORN GROWERS Large Sums of lash Offered to Pro mote Healthy Competition and to Secure Rest of Inhibits at frhovr. A meeting was called by the Nebraska State commission to convene at Lincoln April 2, 1908, at which eighteen counties were represented by one delegate from each county. The object of tho meeting was to get the best Ideas and formulute plans by which the different counties in the state were to be organized to get the best results for the National Corn Ex position at Omaha December 9 to 19, 19uS. Soon after the Lincoln meeting a call was sent out by the Douglas County Agri cultural society for a mass convention of farmers to meet at Eenson. to organize a Douglas county corn growers' association. The meeting was held April 11. und re sulted in the organization of an associa tion and the election of officers us fol lows: Charles Grau, Eennlngton, presi dent; Will.uni Vamp, Renault, seeretaiy, und Joseph McGuIre, Ecnsun, treasurer. At this meeting a paid-up membership of twenty-two was secured. The board of managers of the Doughis County Agricultural society at one of Its meetings adopted a resolution setting aside HfJ to be used as a special premium fund in addition to its regulur premium list classification for corn. All of which will be shown at the Douglas county fair dur ing the Ak-Sar-Ren carnival. September 23 to October 4. 1'S. All the best exhibits that score above seve nty points will be re i i veil for the National Corn show in De eiinber i:nl uiiov.n in the name of the tsrovwr and the county. At a Joint meeting of the corn growers and the board of managers of the Douglas County Agricultural society a resolution was unanimously adopted providing for a comr.ii.lue of three to wait on the euunly commissioners and ask them to asplst the ukMoeiation by an appropriation of $-) for u Douglas county exhibit at the National Corn exposition. This committee consisted of J. C. Ib.bins.in, Waterloo; J. W. Shu maker, Elk City, and Charles Grau, Een nlngton. Thu committee on Saturday, May 23, pre sented a communication to the county com missioners asking for the amount men tioned, which was allowed. At a later meeting of the Corn Growers' association, held at Omaha Juno C, a constitution and by-laws were adopted and a committee appointed by the president, consisting of O. J. Plckurd, Will Lonergan and J. W. Shutnaker, to formulate a complete clas sification for corn. At this meeting tho score card of the Nebraska Corn Im provers' association was adopted and all exhibits grown In Douglus county will bo Judged under this system, and all money pro-rated on exhibits scoring ubove seventy points. We wish to Impress one thought on tha minds of the corn growers, and that Is that the premiums are only a secondary connideration.
