When MIbb Ruth WUters Morgan of Palm Beach, New ork and New port announced last May she would wed Prince Ludovlco Pignatclll d'Ara gon, her father promptly Issued a denial. He was absolutely sure there would be no marriage. Yet there was one, and Miss Waters, Jgho is fair, plump and twenty, as?pSay bo aeon in the photograph, became a princess, a real Castillan brand of Spanish princess, the prince said. And, more over, she would be a sort of relative, of the king of Spain,' because the prince himself is a relative', he said. Now she's got a prince, and the prince has only 28 cents. Further more, an unfeeling New York lawyer has threatened to put the prince and the 23 cents* in Jail. Then she won't- have anything left at all?except a daddy wMo has more Prince Ludovlco PignateUI d'Ara iron. money than any Spanish prince ever saw ouisid(- his dreams. After three months of marriage to an American heiress the prince has filed a petition in bankruptcy, stating he has, $887.28 assets, but that only 28 cents Is In cash. His liabilities amount to $30,545.32. Among his creditors is' Jdrs. Alice F. O'Connell, who holds judgment for the death of lier luisband In an automobile acclden* for which a New York court held tf\ ? prince responsible. When her counsel, Harry A". Red mond of New York, was asked about tiie situation be grew so angry he could hardly speak; but he did manage to say: "I'll get a writ of body execution against the prince for the O'Connell judgment if I possibly can. That will put the prince In jail." Back to Their Own. A colored parson, calling upon one of his flock found 'the object WWs viqit out in the back yard working among his hen coops.

Frayera for tho restoration of peace form the principal feature of almost dally services held hero by American missionary bodies. It In the key note of the Bummer schools and con ferences. At the same time tic mis sionary organizations are studying the means of furthering their evan gelistic work in Japan and through out th whole Orient. The Rev. I). S. Spencer, of Nago ya, who delivered an address this week before the Fan-Methodist con ference, urged the missionaries to roach the rural districts. The rural class, :!ie said, represent 7-5 per cent of the total population of Japan. This specialized work could not he done by the old methods, ho said, nor by workers who did not under stand the special field in which I hey were placed. In order to accomplish its duty In iapan. the Methodist mis sion instead of a total of "60 workers of all grades, should have 220 or . dalned men, 220 single women. 11. 0U0 Japanese evangcliBts and 440 Hi ldo women, h? said. The Methodist missionaries, Dr. Spencer explained, were about 20 per cent of the total missionary force in the empire. Figuring the population not ns.COO.OOO, the Methodists might be said to be under obligation to evangelize at least 11,000.000 souls. As a matter of fact, the total member ship of the Japan Methodist church in 101 r> Is 15.1fi7 and this represented forty years of effort. He added: " Now I do not suggest that these small numbers mean failure. Hut there is another side to the problem. When we bejran our work the Japan ese people numbered 3"?,000.000. Our Methodist task has therefore grown from seven to eleven millions. To, say nothing of the original 3R.000.000 ?we have never gotten within wire less distance of the increased popula tion* ftmfl htsdshent Some fundamental change for the better we will never get -there." Tho way out of the difficulty, In his opinion, was to reach the rural com? inimiti?s, and to fit the methods to-the class to be evangelized. "Tho mis sionary must be practically helpful. Community Interests must be started, as local circumstances permit?per haps beginning with a kindergarten, or other educational measurer or seeds may be brought In for tho farm ers, new kinds of fruit introduced, better water Bupply or sewers, pn* in and a friendly attitude of helpfulness shown that. will bear all down the years.

DUTCH NEW GUINEA EXPLORES REPORT Shows Dutchmen Inhabited the It land aa Far Back as 1828? Only Recently Colonized. The Hague, Netherlands, Aug.? (Correspondence of The Associated press)?Reports of Dutch colonial ex peditions which have recently com pleted tho preliminary explorattlon of Dutch New Culuea brhiK to light many storicB of remarkable feats of endurance und discovery. For about seven years oflieers of the Dutch Col- 1 oniul Army with European and na tive soldiers and coolies have been making :i complete map of the colony and ;his work If. now finished. Hutch New Guinea Is nbout fourteen times as large as the Netherlands and was settled by a few Dutchmen as long ago as 1828. but was only officially recognized as a colony late last cen tury. In comprises the greater part] of the Island of Papua In the South Seas. In the course of the map work, which was attended by great difllcui- j ties and some loss of life all the mem- | hers of the expeditionary force un derwent severe privations and suffer- j ed consldcrabc sickness. Their l'.ves were in danger from hostile natives J as they passed up unknown rivers and cut their way through almost im penetrable vlrgiu bush or clambered high mountains covered with etornnl snow and never before ascended by white men. The couhtry was found to bo fairly thickly populated in some parts and tho natives in tho interior were nmong j the most primitive in the world. Many of them had never before come into contact with white men and fled at their approach, so that the explorers in somo instances could not obtain data as <to their , customs, language, measurements or. % modi* of living.

The women of,some tribes had a Blight covering consisting of a short'skirt-of woven leaves. Some of the tribes 'Were actively hoBtlle head-hunters and attacked the explorers with bows nad arrows and short hardwood spears whose points were sometimes formed of bone. Others of .the natives peacefully in clined and willing in return for a few trinkets to permit the. explorers to make all the necessary observations without interference. . The natives appear to cling mostly to the banks of tho many rivers where they live in carefully construct ed habitations built in the trees or on pileB 20 or 30 feet high.. In the far interior, however, many settle ments were found composed of sub stantial buildings supported by thick tree trunks and covered s^lth roofa of the largo dried leaves of tropical plants. In fact several 'of the dwel lings were.divided into various apart ments?a large one in the center for the mcp and boys and separate ones Cor each woman. In th?'coastal ands the natHves cou otruct their huts or rather arbors in a long line like a street, each haWtu tlon supported by ithe next one. Many of the coast people had previously be come acquainted with white men who had come to hunt birds of paradise rod they also knew that money was valuable. The knowledge of metals among the natives Is very limited and their cut ting tools are stone axes and flint chisels. With these some of the tribesmen managed to carve orna ments on their pirogues or canoes, their oars and little figures for tho adornment of their habitations. Some kind of superstitions belief Is prevalent In the interior, for each hab itation in the settlements has dts own god usually in the shape of a huge turtlo shell on which is stack a fish head. Hunting and fishing aro the main occupations of the natives, but In tho interior many of the habitants ara surrounded by patches for the culti vation of root-crops and sugar cane. ! which with fish and sago form the main food of the people, who are very fond or lobsters and mussels, which are plantifui. Evarywhere tho country is infested wfch snakes and the rivers, swarm with alligators, but animals are not numerous and comprise chiefly dogs, tame and wild hogs, and kangaroos and other marsupials as well as many rata.
