PERFECT CHORUS GIRL Gives Her Side oi the EM Suicide It Was Not Parental Objection That Prevented the Marriage The Girl Herself Broke Off the Engagement Over A Year Ago. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Aug. 27 Miss Estelle Christy, "the perfect chorus girl" for love of whom young Lord Eliot, heir to the Earldom of St. Germans, com mitted suicide at Port Eliot, England, was found today and revealed for the first time that it was not parental opposition that prevented his marry ing her. She declared she had broken the engagement between them because she did not think it wise for an American girl to marry a foreign nobleman. Miss Christy is now living in a handsome suite of apartments at Hossleigh Court. She there gave the whole history of her relationship with Lord Eliot. "I am going to say this," said Miss Christy, "because I feel it necessary in justice to myself. My name nas been coupled with that of Lord El- ioi so mucn m uie lasi lew uaja sluib his death that I feel the true facts should be known. "So far as the reports are concern ed, this much is true: We were en gaged to be married, but the reasons given for the breaking off of the en casement are absolutely untrue. It was not because of any disapproval of the parents of Lord Eliot, for if sandsof women who have been troubled there had been anv objections on with displacements, inflammation. uU their part, he was not the sort of man ceration. fibroid tumors, irregularities, , . ! . ..i. periodic pains, backache, bearing-down to tolerate any interference with his Sinsr. Aatulenoy. indigestion? dizzi-P,ans- ' ness, or nervous prostration. Why "The truth of the matter is that. 1 don't you try it? broke the engagement. I did it after careful consideration, in which 1 I came to the conclusion that it would pCTITIfllW C RPPIlFTI be a mistake to marry a foreigner. 1 1 1 10 IILrUOLU did not approve of it then and I do i not now. "It is seldom that an American girl a true American girl in mar rying a foreign nobleman, finds hap piness. Their ways are not our ways and girls who have been reared on this side of the water cannot adapt themselves to the life that is led in Europe. "I have been asked many times if the true reason for my breaking the engagement were not that Lord Kl iot was jealous. Tiiere is no truth in any such report. . "I met Lord Eliot during by Lon don engagement with Edna May. He asked a mutmi', friend for an introT auction 'o w;4 and I met him after one of tile performances. We became good friends and afterward Lord El iot invited me to the estate where 1 was introduced to his mother and sis ter. His mother seemed to take a great fancy to me. After that Lord Eliot and I were constantly together. "Lord Eliot was a charming man and one any girl would have been proud of. The memory of our asso ciation is one of the most pleasant that I have. And 1 do not believe that Lord Eliot took his own life. He was not that sort of man. I expect to receive a letter from London at any moment telling me the circum stances of his death. "I do not believe that I had any thing to do with his end. I had not seen or heard anything from hiui for a year. After the engagement was broken, he went to Africa with his regiment, I believe. He wrote to me for a time but it was a year ago that I received the last of these letters. At no time did he show that he took the breaking of our engagement so seriously as to cause him to brood over it." 3,000 Homeless. (By Cable to The Times.) Caracas, Venezuela, Aug. 27 The river Orinoco has broken through its dikes and inundated the surrounding country. Eight villages, represent ing 500 houses, have been ruined and 11,000 person are homeless. THIN FOLKS MADE PLUMP. Samose Ideal Flesh Builder Says Druggists Henry T. Hicks Co. Thin people are simply suffering from want of nourishment. If you are thin, it. is because the food yoU eat is not assimilated and passes through the system without building up the flesh and tissue as it should. You can readily get plump and rosy by using Samose, a tissue-forming food which, when taken with the meals, immediately becomes a fleshi building and life-giving element, in the blood. Use Samose for a few days and in crease of life, vigor and weight is felt and you will notice yourself getting plump and rosy. Samose builds up the system, puts flesh on the bones, brings back the glow of health to the pallid cheek, and removes the tired and languid feeling which is the result of exhaus tion and low vitality. Henry T. Hicks Company are in troducing Samose to their customers and recommend;' It . highly. They give the best proof of their belief that Samose will do , all 1 that is claimed for it by offering to refund the money if it fails to increase the Weight and restore good health.

The Corporation Commission yes terday filed a decision refusing the petition of the Southern, Atlantic Coast Lino, Seaboard Air Line and the Norfolk and Southern Railroads, asking-,for exemption from the oper ation of the electric headlight bill passed at tlie last session of the leg islature. This bill provides that by April 1, lliMi, twenty-five per cent, of the engines not having electric headlights at the time of the passage of the bill, shall be so equipped, and 25 per cent, to be equipped each suc ceeding year until all the engines in cluded under this act shall be so lighted. The petitioners made a hard tight to be relieved from the operation of this law, but the commission decided that it must be carried out. The plans and specifications of the proposed union station at Sanford were approved this morning. The town of Sanford had excepted to these plans, giving as a reason that they called for a wood building, while a town ordinance prohibits the erection of anything but fireproof buildings within the fire limits. The commission decided that this was a matter to be settled by the town and not by the commission, and renewed the order for the station. Another order was made ordering the Southern and C. C. & O. Rail roads to provide facilities for the transfer of passengers at Marion, same to be done within thirty days. The C. C. & O. is to erect the sta tion and provide all facilities for the transfer of passengers, except build ing a platform, this to be done by the Southern. The expense of main tenance is to be divided between the two roads, the Southern to bear one third and the C. C. & O. two-thirds of this cost. NEW PUBLISHING HOUSE.'

WORKS TO BE DESERTED All Slrlke-breahcrs Leave To- "... .,..( day' or Tonigh! Number of these Strike-breakers Will (ive Information Against Boss and Deputy Sheriffs Charging Peonage and Assault Men Have Not Been Paid. ( By Leased Wire to The Times) Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 27 Within a law hours the plant of the Pressed steel Car Company wtn be entirely dosorted savp 01. ponco officers. About 250 men left the works today and the remaining A'-w nave an- nounced their intention to leave to- n!ght or tomorrow. A number declare thev will make information a inst s.ia, Co!len- ,nt ,oss of the Deputy sheriffs charg ns peonage and assault, None of Hie men who have quit ' i,aVo yet been paid and they will lake 'this matter up with their consuls. jSteel Car Company by the deserters who to the number of 2."0 quiet in a body today, announcing that the re- Imaininc 300 strike-breakers in the the j pant wouiu Qn it tonight or in morning. The grievances of the imported men are, according to their own dec larations "the rotten food", treated "worse than dogs", "failure to keep financial promises", "peonage", and threats to blow heads off with revol vers. It was declared by two of the men that charges of a serious character would be preferred against the plant owners or management. The men, after quitting, camped on the bank of the Ohio river, near the river gate of the company's property, to await, the money due them. James Given, of Philadelphia, on quitting the plant, fainted. He was one of the worst sufferers from the poor food and lost about 30 pounds. He fainted from weakness. "We could not stand it," said one of the strike-breakers, who deserted. "They treated us like dogs. Of all the promises made when we were hired in New York not one was kept. We were practically starved a"nd what little food we did get was mouldy. Everyone who ate it got sick. "When we dared complain we were beaten and kicked. Every one swore at us and called us vile names. We were made to work whether we were sick or not and when we said we wanted to quit the bosses threat ened to blow our heads off with re volvers, which they flourished. "One man named Charles Rooney, a rivetter from Brooklyn, is in the box car locked up because he wanted to leave the plant last night. They beat him up. One of the deputies beat him with his blackjack and then arrested him. The rest of us were told that if we quit we would not get any money. We have not been paid yet. They told us to come around Monday." Lying and treachery of every sort was resorted to by the car company's agents in order to secure men, ac cording to the statements of Frank Clancey, of Chicago, and J. Morris, of New York. Clancey, a boss bricklayer, was hired for a new building being erect ed in Indiana, and Morris was told the same. Neither of them knew anything about a car plant. Morris said : "When I found I was In Pittsburg I wanted to get away, but they would not let me. They beat, kicked, and threatened to kill me. 1 will make informations against Sam Cohen and some of his guards for assault." George Coler, a butcher, and men from every trade except car-building, told similar stories and said the food was sickening. Several cases of pto maine poisoning have developed at the plant and two cases are yet In the hospital, The men were promised $3 a day and good food when hired. "The government investigation into the peonage charges was resumed at the federal building, but up to 1 o'clock this afternoon the majority of witnesses examined were persons sent by the company to contradict the evidence of Friedman that he was kept, in the plant against his will.

UNO Council of Slate Returns From Eastern Carolina Highly Pleased With Their Trip to Belhaven Valuable Farms Soon to be Opened Up Produce Fifty Bushels of Corn to the Acre With out Fertilizer Artesian Well for Seven Dollars Other Notes of tl Trip. Secretary of State Grimes, Auditor Dixon, Superintendent of Public In struction Joyner and Attorney Gen eral Bickett returned last night from the eastern part of the state, where they had gone to investigate the mat ter of the drainage of Lake Matta niuskeet. Governor Kitchin stopped at Scotland Neck to visit his family. Tuesday was spent looking over the route of the proposed railroad from Belliaven to Washington. Wed nesday the party attended a big mass meeting at Belhaven, every member of tiie party making a speech. The exercises were held in the court, there being fully 800 men, all the build ing would accommodate, present. Congressman Small presided. In or der to get the sentiment of the peo ple, the chairman asked that all who favored the drainage proposition to raise their hands and every hand went up showing that the people were heartily in favor of reclaiming those valuable lands.. Thursday was spent in viewing the lands and roads on the 10,000 acre Wilkinson estate. The canals on this place have six or seven feet of wa ter and are about ten feet wide. These canals are just one mile apart, and are crossed with other canals the same distance apart. In digging tiie canals the dirt is all thrown out on one side and this is leveled, giving a perfect road 25 or 30 feet wide at the remarkable low cost of two and one-half cents per linear yard. Mr. Wilkinson has an artesian well, giv ing absolutely pure running water that only cost him $7. It is estimat ed that artesian wells can be placed all over that country for an average cost of about $10 each. The Norfolk & Southern Railroad owns 350,000 acres of this swamp land and is going to start to work draining it as soon as the work on the Wilkinson estate is finished, and open up to homeseekers. This land will produce fifty bushels of corn and one and one-half bales of cotton per acre without the use of fertilizer. In ten years from now all this sec tion that has been nothing but a breeding place for mosquitoes and frogs, will be the garden spot, not only of the state, but of the south. The people are rapidly becoming awakened to their opportunities, and there is a bright future in store for that section. CARRIES TORPEDO IN PLACE OF OPERATOR Washington. Aug. 27 A small aero plane carrying a torpedo in place of an operator provided with an automatic balance and steering device bas-ed upon the principle of the submarine torpeuo, has been invented by Emil Berliner, a Washington inventor of talking ma chines end uupliances. This device is known as the aerial torpedo, to be used hi general warfare, especially against fleets and the at tacks" on fortifications. Its destructive power Is supplied by 150 pounds of gun cotton. The aeroplane is worked by a motor that will develop twelve horse power and weights about fifty pounds. Berliner believes that he can im'-ke It ten pounds lighter. The motor is gyroscopic, the type of engine used by Louis Paulhan, in the Rheims aviation contests. The new aeroplane is to have about 100 feet of supporting surface. It will carry a gasoline supply for a flight of half an hour or about t wenty-five miles. Berliner and his Invention Is much more accurate at the same rate that a submarine torpedo, besides being cheaper. Jeaiinette-Ferguson Fight. New York.
