Petersburg, where a lady belonging to the oldest Muscovite nobility and bearing a time-honored name namely: Countess Nurod, titular lady in waiting to the Czarina, is charged with an attempt to foist a supposititious child upon the family of her husband with the object of retaining control of his vast estates, which would otherwise through his death have passed to a distant and cordially disliked relative. serves-to call attention to the frequency of frauds ef this kind among the aristocracy in Europe, and even among the reigning Indeed. it is solely and avowedly with the object of preventing any deceit of this kind that laws have been enacted in every monarchical country exacting the presence of a Cabinet and other dignitaries of the realm at every royal or imperial birth. In England this precaution has been insisted upon since the reign of the last Stuart King, James whose consort, after many years of childlessness, gave birth to a son under such mysterious circumstances as to give rise to the story that the infant was not her own, and that it was merely a supposititious child, foisted, so to speak, upon the nation with the object of preventing the crown from falling into the hands of Princess Mary and Princess Anne, both of whom were Protestants. and both of whom in turn reigned over Great Britain.

King James, it may be remembered, died in foreign exile, and his son, known as the pretender," was always denounced by the Protestant element ill England as a fraud, and as not having any claim to be the son either of King James or of his consort.

Its conclusions cannot be anticipated, but facts known to be in its hands are that the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila has things in the Philippines fairly well under control, the United States military authorities included. The testimony of men recently returned from Manila is to the point that the Archbishop, quite apart from ecclesiastical power, wields a personal influence that is most formidable.

Two clergymen, one a Congregationalist and the other an Episcopalian, have recently shown this in what they have written after enjoying a personal interview with the prelate in question. These Presbyterians are not inclined to follow Archbishop Chappelle's advice to suspend judgment until they have heard his story, to be given after he has had an interview with his fellow Archbishop of Manila. They say, in private, that they believe the Roman Catholic Church will use its power to the utmost to prevent the growth of Protestant power. Whether it does so or not Presbyterians are preparing to see it do so. Members of the committee say they do not demand any special privileges.

All they ask is the rights of American citizens. That right carries with it the one to worship God in their own way and preach Christ at all proper times and places. Protestant workers in Manila, in their official and private reports home, are known to have said of late some severe things on the facility with which saloonkeepers are able to secure licenses and the practical hnpossibility of securing a permit to sell Bibles. This committee is known to be willing to await a little further development of military operations in the Philippines before acting. but once peace is assured a vigorous protest will be made, it is said.

The chairman of the committee is the Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe of Washington, last year's General Assembly Moderator. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew has undertaken to raise funds to send as many chaplains as possible to the Philippines on board the transports now leaving with troops.

The spiritual destitution of American soldiers in the field has been emphasized by Army Secretary Peyton, recently returned, and Episcopalians are to be appealed to for funds to send clergy there. The work proposed by the brotherhood is among soldiers, not among natives. The sum of Wive has been mentioned as being required. The Young Men's Christian association will send twelve secretaries with the transports to labor as chaplains upon arrival. When the government sent details of troops to various parts of the Island of Porto Rico to superintend the distribution of relief for sufferers from hurricane disasters.

the Young Men's Christian association was On hand to send to each of these twenty-six details messengers carrying from week to week late American newspapers and packages of reading matter. In September the association In San Juan opened a large room across the narrow street from its restaurant and here religious services are held every night'. Some of the men in the hospital corps have become interested and have themselves turned workers in the sick wards. Morning prayers are said in the association every day at 9.

.1 rEllECEMEUMW 'reserves the Iron. 1 It will be readily understood that when the fate, not merely of large estates but of whole nations, depends upon the birth of a child and upon its sex, there is always a temptation to fraud and a disposition on the part of malcontents to impute fraud even if none has taken place. That is why such elaborate, and to the ordinary American mind such indencate, precautions are adopted at all royal births, it being imperative that the great dignitaries of the- state should be close at hand when the birth takes place. At Madrid, in fact, the principal dignitary present, usually the Premier, receives from the medical attendants on duty the new born infant laid on a gold plateau, which he carries thence into the neighboring hall. where all the great officers of the state and the ladies of the court are assembled, the men in uniform.

the ladies in court dress, all of them bowing low as the unfortunate babe is borne through the room without a stitch of clothing on the golden plateau. That was how the present King. and likewise his father. the late Don Alfonso, first made the acquaintance of their courts, and in the earlier portion of the century, if the birth took place in the summer and the condition of the weather permitted such a things the plateau was taken out on to the balcony of the palace, in order that the vast crowd assembled In the court yard below might. have the opportunity of acclaiming the babe.

With regard to the Countess of Nurod at St. Petersburg. it seems that with the object of perpetrating the fraud in question she was obliged to take into her confidence a large number of her servants, who subsequently proceeded to blackmail her by threatening to reveal the deception to the family and the authorities. Seeing financial ruin staring her in the face by reason of the extortions to which she -was being subjected by her domestics the Countess refused to yield longer to their menaces, and they thereupon denounced her to the police, the present trial being the result. Another notable case of this kind occurred some time ago in Hungary.

and a member of the family concerned is at the present moMent traveling in this country, after having been entertained at Newport, Boston. Bar Harbor, and Chicago. The distinguished stranger in question bears on his visiting cards the name Mgr. Vay de Vaya and an Intimation that he is a prelate of the household of the Pope. I may add, holvever.

that I have been unfortunately unable to find any prelate of that name among the names of the members of the Papal court and household officlally published by the Vatican. The Vay de Vaya family Is one of the oldest and most Illustrious of the Hungarian nobility, and for many years it was a Count Nicholas Vey de Vaya who figured as President of the Table of Magnates. as the Hungarian House of Lords Is officially described. He was a grand-looking old fellow. His son was General Count Ladislas Vay de Vaya.

a chamberlain of the Emperor. During the first eight years of his marriage no children were born to him. a fact which almost drove him to desperation. when he remembered that in default of issue his Immense estates would pass to the crown and his name become extinct. In the ninth year it seemed as if his own prayers and those of the Countess were about to be granted, and when at length the Countess gave birth to a child, he had so thoroughly accustomed himself to look for a boy, that no one at the time ventured to undeceive him and to tell him that the infant was a girl.

The priest who baptized the child was won over to the more or less pardonable deceit practiced on the Count by his devoted wife and her attendants, and although the name given by the sponsors was that of Sandor, a boy's cognomen, the name entered on the parish registers was that of Sarolta, or Charlotte. Dressed and educated as a boy, the little Countess bore the name of Sander till her thirteenth year. and was believed by all but the mother, the priest. and a few confidential servants to belong to the male sex. She was taught to shoot and fish, and from the age of 6 rode astride of her pony like a little Centaur.

Just about the time when the Count was beginning to consider the advisability of sending his daughteror, as he believed, his sonto the Nobles' Academy at Pestb, his wife gave birth to a second child, which was a real boy. The necessity for keeping up the fraud with regard to the sex of the eldest child had now disappeared and steps were taken to make every one acquainted with the true facts of the case. As the Count continued afterward living happily with his charming and popular wife it may be taken for granted that she did not experience much difficulty in obtaining his forgiveness.

Austin's annexation to the City of Chicago has had a highly beneficial effect upon real estate values, which have stiffened. and agents find that to be a real part of the city Instead of outside territory has many advantages. Transportation rates are settled and five cents carries the Austinite from the furthest corner of that section around the loop down-town.

The principal gain is the tendency of realty values to increase by the change. Above all it steadies values and makes investments and loans on property safe. The jurisdiction of the West Park has been extended to Austin, and the reaidents already ruceive better police and fire protection. The fact that transportation rates are settled at a straight five-cent fare will do much to attract investors and homeseekers." The principal realty transfer of the week was the purchase by Eldridge M. Fowler of Detroit, who is interested in the McCormick estate, from H.

C. Walker, the properties at 292 and 294 Wabash avenue and 346 and 34S Wabash avenue, for $225.000. The transaction was negotiated by John C. Fetzer. representing the McCormick estate, and Edwin F.

Getchell, on behalf of Mr. Walker. The ground at 292 and 294 Wabash avenue fronts 33 feet, with a depth of 171, and is improved with a two-story stone-front building. the first story of which contains the Maze. and in the second story there is a hotel.

The foundations of this building are heavy enough to carry eight more stories. The Tax commission valued the property at $168,620, of which $144,050 is in the land and $24.510 in the building. The ground at 346 and 34S Wabash avenue fronts 40 feet. with a depth of 173, and is improved with a seven-story brick building occupied by Rubel printers, the National Printing company, and Plows' candy factory. The Tax commission valued the property at $2046.10, of which $148,000 Is in the land and is in the building.

These properties are underetood to pay 6 per cent net on the figure at which they sold. Stickney Tract Is Enlarged. The additional purchase last week by the Chicago Transfer and Clearing company of 400 acres of land in sections 23 and 24 in the Town of Lyons from the Frank estate represented a transaction of $200.000.

Asphalt six months ago cost $3.00 per square yard. The bids run now from $203 up to $2.20 per square yard. Brick is also coming clown slightly. it can be delivered in Chicago on the cars at $10 per thousand, while $15 is the old price. Cedar block is being laid for 90 cents per square yard.

and macadam at SO cents. The action taken by the Real Estate board, Taxpayers association, and kindred institutions against excessive prices for street work is having a beneficial effect. At the next meeting of the Chicago Real Estate board, a report. which is now being compiled by Messrs. GiVinS, Greeley, and Rudolph of the Special Assessment committee, will be handed in, showing the cost of paving in twenty to thirty cities.

Nearly all are much lower than Chicago prices. Christian A. Londelius and Peter C. Bruhn have sold to Mrs. Annie Miller of Milwuakee the three-story stone front apartment house.

5810 to 5S18 Calumet avenue. with 100x178 feet of ground, for This amount includes an incumbrance of $24,000, which the purchaser assumes. Wells. Fargo Co. have taken title by a master's deed to the property of the estate of Monroe Salisbury, at an aggregate consideration of $1130,642.

The property is situated in Chicago and Outside counties. Manager N-N-ygant states that now that the company has secured full title the holdings will be placed on the market. The proposed real estate sale by R. C. Givins to be held at Handel Hall in November is attracting some attention from the fact that the vacant lots will be sold for cash down and on no other terms.

This method is adopted to prove whether or not there are purchasers in Chicago for cash property at satisfactory figures. The Supreme Court of Illinois in a decision handed down in the case of an application of the trustees of the First Methodist Episcopal Church to improve the business and church property which its owns at the southeast corner of Clark and Washington streets, holds that it is against the policy of the State to permit a corporation to receive a special or exclusive franchise by virtue of any 1 special law.

These reports say that in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Detroit the Interest is wide among all classes, and that in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn it is scarcely less so. The Bible classes in Chicago are half as large again as ever before.

These evangelical leaders report that while the higher critics are active In and about the University of Chicago, they are not getting a following outside, and that the tendency in all States from Massachusetts west to Kansas is most decidedly toward the old Bible. The same authorities say that although the Rev. G. Campbell Morgan closed his phenomenal series of sermons in New York and Brooklyn before throngs of people, filling the great Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church five times in three days as it has not been filled in years. the West is more active than the East and Is leading in the present movement.

The International Sunday school lesson series begin, on the first Sunday of the new year, studies in the life of Christ, which are to continue for a year and a half. These studies take up the life, not as related by one, but by all four evangelists. They cover every detail, the aim being to make the student familiar with every movement of the Savior while on earth. The first year carries the studies to near the close of Christ's ministry, the lessons in 1901 beginning with the anointing at Bethany and the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The final six months of the studies carry them to Pentecost.

I NM The Catholic Ups 3 Months for 10 Cents. LIST OF EXTENSION LECTURES. FOURTEENTH TEAR. i t4 Among the servants of the public whose principal duty it is to be patient there is none. perhaps, who must exercise this accomplishmentfor so it must be calledto a greater extent than the waiter in a or restaurant.

The greatest of his trials do not come from the irate customer who refuses to be pleased and has his order changed two or three times, for the waiter knows that, troublesome for the time being as a man of this kind may be. when he is finally satisfied and is comfortably filled the tip is sure to be forthcoming. He has learned from practical experience that the straightest road ta any man's heart or pocketbook lies, straight through his stomach. No, this trouble is small when compared with the woes of the waiter in serving women customers. There is the one who asks the price of every article on the menu, because she thought they might have changed their minds about the price since the bill of fare was printed," but finally is satisfied with rolls and coffee.

This type is well known and abhorred by all waiters. But who can blame the waiter if his patience ceases to be a virtue when the restaurant is crowded after the theater, and he has to stand patiently and watch another take the order of the prosperous looking in- dividual whose countenance betokens a generous tip." while he listens to one complaint after another from women that they haven't the slightest idea what to eat Some benevolent personprobably an ex-waiter who has had troubles of his own has remedied this by compiling a little book of menus, the prices ranging from 50 cents upward. The much abused waiter no longer has to listen to the old story, for, as soon as an undecided one takes a look at the regular bill of fare and makes the usual complaint, he proudly puts into her hands a menu book, with an air which shows that he is confident it will fill the bill. These little books, which have become popular of late in Chicago restaurants, are made attractive with brightly colored backs. fastened with gilt or silver cords and bars.

The menus themselves are just the kind one wants after the theater and are a great saving of time and brain work, for even those who have had more or less experience sometimes are at a loss to think of the right combination to order. Among the menus in a book of this kind are the following: NUM ER ONE. Consomme or Clam Bouillon in Cup. Broiled Plover or Squab on Toast. Saratoga Chips.

Choice of Export 'Beer or Ralf Pint Zinfandel Claret or Riesling Rhine Wine. NUMBER TWO. Consomme or Clam Bouillon in Cup. Broiled spring Chicken. Saratoga Chips.

ice Cream or Charlotte Busse. Then for the one who has a taste for Dutch suppers," here is another: NUMBER FIVE. Blue Points or Little N'eck. Clams on Toast Welsh Rarebit. Coffee or Stein of Ale or Beer.

Even the young girl with the abnormal taste for all the stuft that" dreams are made on would be pleased with this: NUMBER TWELVE. Fried oysters. Lobster. Shrimp or Sweetbread Salad. Choice of Export Beer or Half Pint of Zinfandel Claret or Riesling Rhine Wine.

And it is all done to save people the trouble of thinking. There is wide variety In the list, so that all may be satisfied.

Indeed, the only person who seriously objected to the altered condition of affairs was the young Countess herself. who had become too much accustomed to regard herself as a boy and so strongly addicted to all boyish sports and games that she could not reconcile herself to the role of a young woman, and this feeling, instead of passing away as she grew older, 'became stronger every year. As soon as she reached the age of 21 and became emancipated from the Immediate control of her parents she took the bridle between her teeth. metaphorically speaking. and, arrayed in masculine clothes, entered upon a career of wild extravagance.

Every--where she gave her name as Count Sandor Vay de Vaya," and even fought a couple of duels with men who had insulted her by expressing doubts as to her sex, badly wounding one of her adversaries. A number of artidies signed Sander Vay appeared in one of the leading Pesth newspapers, mostly on sporting matters. on which she was an authority, and she became famous. not as a feminine, but as a masculine whip. Her losses at cards and on the turf finally forced her father to appeal to the courts -Co have his daughter placed under judicial restraint, and It was only then that for the first time the Magyar newspapers and the ordinary public became aware that the dashing cavalier and sportsman, Count Sandor Vay," was In reality a woman.

Ultimately Count Ladislas Vay was obliged to place his daughter in a lunatic asylum near Vienna. After remaining there for a time she managed to secure her liberation, appeared In the Austrian capital. and for a time played a conspicuous rOle in society and on the turf as a man, no one recalling, either her former adventures or suspecting her identity until she became involved in some conflict or another -with the Viennese authorities. I think it was for thrashing a hack driver. Since that time she has vanished from view, although her father's death has placed her in possession of a considerable amount of property.

Perhaps the Mgr. Vay, now in this country, where he is traveling for pleasure, can enlighten us as to what has become of his eccentric relative, Countess Charlotte, alias Count Sandor Vay de Vaya.
