Friday, fair and warmer. A SQUARE DEAL FOR ALL GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA, THURSDAY' AUGUST 23, 1906. AMERICAN BELLE TO WED A E Matilda Townsend, Penn. Girl Engaged to Scion of Euro pean Nobil .ty. DUKE DE ALBA THE I.ITKY MAX New York, Aug. 23.—A London cable to the World says: The announce ment of the engagement of Miss Matil da Townsend to Duke De Alba has not been made yet, but it is openly talked about, not only in Hamburg and Marienbad, where both are well known but also in London. Miss Townsend, a decidedly hand some girl, is the daughter of Mr. Law rence Townsend of Pennsylvania, who was the American minister at Brus sels from 1899 to 1906. Her mother is one of the cherished friends of Queen Alexandra, and qlso King Ed ward. During her visit at Sandrlng ham the king was much interested in her stories about American life, while the queen would always consult her about her special hobbies out of doors. Several ideas adopted In connection with her pansy and rose gardens were suggested by Mrs. Townsend. To American hostesses belong the chief social triumphs during the visit of the king and queen to Spain. Fol lowing the success of Consuelo, duch ess of Manchester, at Cowes. the hon ors this week have gone to another American, Lady Lelth, who with her husband has been entertaining King Alfonso and his queen at their historic castle in Fyvie in Scotland for the opening of the grouse season. Lady Leith is the daughter of Derich A. January, a wealthy St. Louis iron founder. Her husband,, who is a prominent member of the steel trust, was known as Forbes Leith prior to his elevation to the peerage in Novem ber last. The Leiths have been steadily win ning favors in royal circles since they settled in England in 1899. but all their previous successes have been eclipsed by this week's doings at Fy vie. It was through Lady Lelth's friendship with the young queen of Spain before the latter's marriage that the visit came about. A very select party was invited to meet the royal visitors, including Prince Arthur of Connaught, the duke of Richmond and his daughter, Lady Helen Gordon Lennox. A splendid round of enter tainments was arranged for the week, the men spent the days on the moors, where King Alfonso had his first in struction to the pleasures of grouse shooting. He enjoyed himself hugely, it frequently being late in ihe day be fore he relinquished his gun. Mrs. Bradley-Martin's arrival at Balmacaan, where as usual she will entertain a large party, was the sig nal for the whole neighborhood to sally forth with a fitting welcome. Supplementary to the flags and music, which welcomed her, festivities were kept up at her expense for two days, all the servants and employes being treated in a generous fashion. She had supplied herself with a bag of new pennies, and as the carriage drove toward her residence she leaned out and dropped the coins along the road, all the children running after the carriage crying out about the good lady and the golden pennies. Her daughter, Countess Craven, is with her for the shooting season. Mrs. Arthur Paget will pay a visit later on. while among her other guests will be Mrs. George West, Mr. Whitney and Miss Marshall, a very handsome American girl, who has made something of a sensation in Dublin this year. Capt. Beatty, who married a daugh ter of the late Marshall Field, has leased Invercauld, a famous mansion on the banks of the Dee. at a cost of $8,000 a month, with the deer stalking, the grouse moor and a splendid stretch of salmon fishing on the Dee. Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., has gone with her eldest son to Invercauld to visit Capt. Beatty and wife for the big shooting party they are entertain ing there this week. Young Marshall Field is' greatly interested in the Eng lish army. When in London last week he bought an army of British toy soldiers, ordering that various cavalry and guard regiments be sent on to him. CHINAMEN SMD TO OWNGOUWIST Curious Speculation in News paper World at Victoria—A Deep Laid Scheme WITH REGARD TO 001.1 LABOR Victoria, B. C.. Au t. 23.—A curios speculation with respect to the recon struction of the Colonist is being widely distributed in business and political circles. The •il'.eitation has been made that the controlling inter est at British Columbia's Pioneer newspaper, now held by J. S. S. Mat son, is in reality the property of two wealthy Chinese residents. Loo Gee Wing and Lee Monk Kow. It is seldom that an important newspaper transfer is hedged about with such secrecy as that maintained by the Colonist's new owners. The numerous Victorians who believe .the report that Chinese have purchased the paper say that it is for the pur pose of supporting an aggressive cam paign for the reduction of the $500 per capita tax, to enable the wealthy Chinese contractors to bring Jn an' army of coolie labor for use in the prairie harvest fields and in railway construction work. TIMES STOP FHING Postmaster General Hitchcock Announces the Abolition of Departmental System of Fin ing Employes. OLD PLAN REGARDED AS DETRIMENTAL l'niform System of Efficiency Records is Proposed to Suit- plant It. Aaaoelated Preaa to The Evening TImea. Washington, Aug. 23.—Fining of employes as a means of enforcing dis cipline in the postal service, a system that has been in operation for many years, is to be abolished. First As sistant Postmaster General Hitchcock, who has jurisdiction over all post office employes, after years of obser vation of this means of discipline, has reached the conclusion that it is detri mental rather than helpful. He pro poses to establish in its place a uni form system of efficiency records, which will be put in operation as soon as perfected. To that end he has started Assistant Superintendent John A. Holmes of his bureau on a tour of inspection of the largest postoffices of the United States. Mr. Holmes will confer with postmasters and their as sistants regarding the introduction of the proposed change. TWO DIED TODAY. Chicago Gels Xo Relief From Present Hot Wave.

TEXASPOLITIGS Son of Hetty Green Nominated by Texas Republicans for Governor. HETTY SOT STINGY WITH SOX Aaaoelated Preaa to The Evening TImea. Washington, D. C., Aug. 23.—The news that came up from the Lone Star state last week that E. H. R. Green, son of the enormously wealthy Hetty Green, has been nominated by the republicans for governor of Texas has created a little ripple here, where politics, like everything else, is as dull as ditch water during these August dog days. Young Green—he is still in his thirties—is known only by reputation here. But he has been active in politics down in Texas for quite a long time considering- his age and the politicians in that section have long regarded him a "comer." It is pointed out by those acquainted with his career that "Ned" Green was taking part in practical politics long before this present-day fad arose for rich young men to seek office. He has been in Texas about fifteen years and always has been interested in the politics of the state. He served three terms as chairman of the state com mittee and was delegate to the nation al conventions. No one thinks for a moment that there is any chance for a republican to be elected governor of Texas at the present time. The republican party itself is badly split in the state, with two tickets in the field. Green is the nominee of what is termed the "re organized" faction, which is making war on the element of which Cecil Lyon Is the recognized leader. But whether or not young Green has a ghost of a show of winning out, his candidacy is bound to give ginger to the Texas campaign this fall. If money is needed to put the political machinery in good running order Hetty Green will furnish any amount. "Ned," as she fondly calls him, is the idol of her heart. No matter how close she may be in business affairs or how penurious she may be in re gard to her personal expenditures, "the richest woman in America" is liberal to the extreme where her son is concerned. It is believed that Hetty Green would cheerfully give up mill ions to make "Ned" governor of Texas if she though he really wanted it and that money would get it. 1HGIIES MAY NOT WAXT IT. May Not be a Party to Ihe Odell Program. Siieelnl to The Evening TImea. New York, Aug. 23.—The Evening Post yesterday quoted Timothy L. Woodruff of Brooklyn as saying that if Governor Hlggins is a candidate for renomination for governorof New York, Charles E. Hughes will not enter a contest for the nomination. Mr. Woodruff said that Mr. Higgins would aot be a party to any factional strife. His proposed nomination by /ormer Governor Odell was merely an ex pedient of the opponents of Governor Hlggins. Mr. Woodruff continued: "I think that the president is as friendly to Mr. Higgins as to anyone. He would not be in favor of Hughes, if Governor Higgins were a candidate for the renomination, I feel sure."

Diegle for state dairy and food commissioner, and Morge Nyswonger for member of the board of public works, constituted the ticket named by the Ohio democrats here in a session somewhat fervid in temperature, in oratory and in methods of voting. The day was close and sultry, few delegates wore coats and many sought cooler places outside the hall before final adjournment, this last fact mak ing possible the casting of votes of several delegates by unauthorized per sons during the last few ballots. A number of counties were challenged and several persons were put out of the hall for improper voting, but it did not seem to affect the result ma terially in any case. During the first hour and a half of today's session the question of an endorsement in a coun ty option in temperance legislation was under discussion, an attempt by W. L. Flnley to amend the platform and give such an endorsement being defeated on a roll call. Aside from these features, the de feat of Mayor Tom Johnson in the state central committee, a feature of yesterday, was still the subject of comment.

As the first in stallment the government has appro priated $4,000,000 for the relief of the destitute. The customs house was re opened today and traffic by water and by rail has been resumed. The postal service is also in operation. One of the greatest difficulties en countered by the authorities is ttie interment of bodies recovered from the ruins, as all the cemeteries were destroyed. At the various temporary morgues, heaps of coffins have ac cumulated. awaiting the designation Qf.^heir place of burial. The work of recovering bodies is being .pushed to the utmost in order to avoid an epidemic, in fear of which many families are leaving the city. Through the whole length of Brazil avenue and all over Victoria square large sheds have been constructed to shelter the homeless from the severe rains. The survivors of the earthquake say that during the shocks it was impossi ble to stand erect without support. A movement is on foot to organize a company to facilitate the raising of the money necessary to reconstruct the city. PROFFER AID. Philadelpliians Would Assist Chilean Earthquake Victims.
