AT MAUDE ALLAN'S FEET. Graceful Canadian Dancer Cap- tures Theatregoers. London, July 13.--There is a furore over Miss Maud Allan's dancing gowns: Al the desirable 'Johnnies' and some others are at thé Canadian dancer twinkling feet. Al the chairs at the theatre where she is dancing are sold three in advance of each per- formance. Miss Allan was asked to Premier Asquith"s party at lis official residence in honor of the King's birthday. As always at these crushes the royalties, diplomats and high officials seclude themselves from 'hoi polled" in a room apart. But on this occasion Miss Allan had a little court of her own; duchess countesses and other fashionable women and numbers of her devoted male admirers were presented to her and she did not put of any frills. Latest rumor has it that Miss Allan is engaged to marry young Rawlinson, a wealthy member of one of the oldest Catholic families in England, who was supposed to be a suitor for the hand | of the Marquis of Bute's sister. It Yends an Oriental glamor to Mis Allan's dancing to repeat another re port--that the Maharajah of Nepal, | who has seen some dancing "madly infatuated" with her. Unluekily for Miss Allan, Nepal has Maharanee, and she would he only dar cing girls, weeks es, a one of his ---------- Beckler & Co's saw mill, at was burned.

In Gieorgin the winning of this primary is equivalent to an election. Mr. Brown is the son of the late Joseph E. Brown, who was the famous "war governor" of Grorgia and whose name is still a power in his native state. During the campaign which ended in the de- feat of Governor "Hoke" Smith by Mr. Brown the governor made many speeches and stumped the state from end to end. Mr. Brown did not make a, single speech but confined his ef- forts to meeting hundreds of promin- ent citizens in private talks and in sending out millions of placards, pam- phlets and leaflets attacking Governor Smith's record aml promising relief from dull times if elected. Mr. Brown was at one time employed hy the Western and Atlanta railroads and was later state railroad commissioner of Georgia until discharged by Gov- ernor Smith.

Railways and Public Not Prepar- : ing As Last Year. Winnipeg, July 14.--Reports gather ed from various parts of the province west outline rather serious prospects in regard to fuel supply for next win- ter. Following the serious shortness of the wirffter 1906-7, coal dealers and the consuming public stocked up largely for last summer, but the win- ter turned out so unusually mild that the need for these precautions was not apparent. The railways, last winter, had an abundant rolling stock, owing to the light crop, and there was nev- er anything approaching a fuel fam- ine in any district. This summer, however, partly owing to the financial stringency which forbade dealers car- rying large stocks, und prevented con- sumers laying in even an average sup- ply ahead, practically no coal is being brought into the principal distributing points from western mines. At the same time it is already clear the rail- ways are likely 'to be blockaded in an attempt to handle the crop this fall, and in a month or two a large ooal movement will be physically impossi- ble, If, therefore, a severe winter fol- lows, the situation may become seri- ous, Revolutionists in Tabriz have pla- carded the city with warnings to the Russians in the place that if they do not stop meddling with Persian affairs they will pay the penalty with their lives.

The bankers left behind dozens of letters addressed to the newspapers to their employees and depositors, {and to personal friends, attempting to {justify their conduct. These documents indicate that one of the immediate | causes of the bank's difficulties was inability to replace £500,000 of loaned {capital which was suddenly with- {drawn from the business.

Hero of the Tallahassee Incident at Halifax. Halifax, July 13.--~"Jock" Flom- ming, who died at Ketch Harbor, on Saturday, won renown by taking the confederate cruiser Tallahassee out through the eastern passage in 1864, eluding the Northern fleet that was ly- ing in wait for the commerce-destroy- er off the mouth of - the harbor. He was ninety-eight years old. Flemming had been a pilot for over sixty vears, and while he figured in many adven- tures his most famous exploit was that of the Tallahassee. The Tal- lahassee was trapped in Halifax har- bor while coaling by a strong North-|' ern fleet, and was given forty-eight hours by the British admiral within which to escape or surrender to the Bgitish flag. In the dead of © night Flemming took the eastern passage, a shallow, unused channel on the castern side of the harbor, used only by fish- ing boats, and when morning broke the Tallahassee had vanished. On his ninety-seventh birthday. last s Tr, Flemming accomplished the feat of rowing from his home to Halifax and back, twenty-four miles, Trouble with the transmission line caused Toronto to be in darkness for} eight minutes, on Monday night. . and | a | and Money.
