Not by a long might.

The manner In which ebe was chosen after a spirited contest with all her sister* In Chicago makes It reasonably certain that Tbe Tribune's claim that she Is tbe most beautiful woman In Chicago Is well

founded.

Tbe disco eery of Miss Canon came about in a carious way aod tbe thoroughness with which the search for beauties was carried on glees Mies Canon a perfect right to fee! proud. Tbe March for beauty came as a result of a dispute between two Chicago millionaires. Chicago million sires, like tbelr Pittsburg brethren, an notoriously inctinad to back their jndg- . with * small wager when an Usui s -between them. Such was the cm that started tbe bant for beauty. BET *25,00) OX THE BE A (TV One of the mllilooatrs at a club om night exhibited some photographs of his sister which bad Just been taked. Sbe wi a most beantlfol woman and tbe photos wen works of -art that brought oi sister's charms to perfection Tbe mllllooslie was very proud that be should be the' brother of so beautiful specimen of American womanhood. A be looked over the pictures be grew boa* ful aod declared: "I am willing to bet that my sister is tbe most beantifnl woman In America.” “Bet yon *25,000 that I can prodate prettier woman than your sister aod I wi grant that she Is a remarkably beautiful woman,” promptly chimed In a com pan ion wboM sporting InsdncU were aroused Tbe wagar was made then and there as s forfeits posted. Then tbe man a poo whose shoulders (ell tbe burden of Boding a beauty to outrival « friend's sister was In a quandary as iw to proceed. He wae trained In Ami u> business methods, so be decided tbat the only thing to do was to advertise Accordingly be asked tbe Chicago Tribnoe, a r with-wide dreulatiorv to aid him. do the hoot began.

Tbe net fishermen strongly protested against any favorable report

on tbe bill.

MERCHANT WINS IN CHANCERY' Holly Beach Man Released from Hospital In Time to Win In March, 1983. Waller Cress*, of the meat aod vegetable Arm of Holly i composed of himself and John B. Leper was adjudged Insane and Was committed an taetlintioa for Insane persons. There be remained .until October, 1905, when he er his release from tbebospltal Crease brought a suit in tbe Court of Cbanoery •gainst Loper for an accounting of the ins for the period daring which tbe complainant was oooflasd. Crease alleged tbat through a suit In partition Instituted while be was In ths hospital. Loper caused to be made a-public sale of tbe real estate owned by the partnership. At this sale Loper became tbe purchaser as the highs est bidder. Tbe defendant paid *14*0 for ths property which Itlsdalmed was worth at least *2100. Creese not only asked for an accounting but also tbat the court decree that the property which was purchased by Loper be decree. 1 to be bald by Him as trustee for the partnership. Tlee Chancellor Learning, who beard tbe case, has filed In tbe Court an opinion deciding in faeor of Craase The Vice Chancellor bolds that under the law a trustee is forbidden to purchase pro held by him In trust beeatue bts loi his trusteeship. He says that In tbe pres - eat case tbe property sold was that of ■ partnership to be sold at its foil value. As a purchaser It was to his personal advantage to bay the property as cheaply as possible. The duty which Loper under legal obligation to perform In refereoee to tbe sale of the property was elearlj inconsistent with hie Interests as a purchaser. Based upon this view of the case Vlos Chancellor Learning concludes by saying: ''I will advise a decree that Loper bolds tbe title to the land In question In trust for the partnership, and that tbs" Special Master already appointed mak. public sale of the seal rotate, and at tbe luting before the Master all jost allowance will be made to Loper."-
