The malady from wbich the Prince suffered so severely in 18i»o nas reappeared in a different quar­ ter, and this fact is looked upon as one of great significance. THE rector of the Episcopal Church at Kilrea, Ireland, Was some time ago sus­ pended from his functions, owing to charges that he was engaged in an in- triguo with a young lady, one of his par­ ishioners. Insisting on his legal rights he resume<J his position as rector and assumed to perform the service in the church. The congregation abandoned the church and the rector preached to two reporters and the fair parishioner, besides being compelled to ring the bell hiinsolf, as none of the officials would assist him. JAMES MCHKNRY, well known as the principal litigant in the suits against the management ot the Erie Railroad some years ago, died in London. AN inquiry into the recent explosion at Pozzo Pantaleo, near Rome, shows that the magazine was largely Over­ loaded. It is believed that vibration caused by trains was the cause of the explosion. The committee of inquiry advises the separation of loose powder from bombs and fuiminators. THE Christian missions at Nankin have been attacked and pillaged by na­ tives. The inmates narrowly escaped with their lives. Tho anti-foreign move­ ment, which is fomented by secret soci­ eties, has caused alarm at the treaty ports. The Government is anxious but is unable to suppress tho movement. The mob of fanatic al natives dispersed after doing great damage. Tho Meth; odist school was looted and was among the buildings burned. The British steamer Porpoise has been ordered to Nankin to protect British interests. Chinese troops have also bean ordered to the scene. THE differences between the Germans and the Czechs at Prague are manifest­ ing themselves with an intensity that threatens trouble. The Czechs use only the color and arms of the Bohemian crown--that is, of Bohemia, Moravia and Siiesia--whereas the Germans decorate their houses and clubs exactly in the colors of Austria--black and yel­ low. The two races are ceasing to mingle, politically or socially, and much embarrassment is caused to the German officials by the Czechs insisting on tho use of the Bohemian language. IT is reported that Prince Ferdinand, ruler of Bulgaria, is betrothed to the Archduchess Marie, eldest daughter of the Archduke Joseph of Austria. FRESH AND NEWSY. % PKESIDKNT HARRISON denies that dur­ ing his recent visit in Nebraska he talked with ex-Governor Boyd or any one else on the merits of the gubernatorial dis­ pute or offered any opinion whatever on J.he matter-^ IT is reported at San Francisco that the Congressional party of Chili, other­ wise known as the insurgents, has en­ tered into an agreement with the United States Government to surrender to the United States tho steamer Itata and her cargo, and that the Charleston will not pursue the Itata any further, but will proceed to Callao, and there the Itata will quietly be handed over to the Ameri­ can authorities. GUATEMALA will send its National Band to the Columbian'Exposition. This band is the third largest in the world, that of Austria being first, and the Mex­ ican National Band second. WEALTHY Baptists have presented tho American Baptist Publication Society a substantially built railroad car, which is to be used iu distributing Christian literature. The railroads will carry the car and two occupants free of charge. THE suit of O'Brien & Clark against New York City for $800,000 for work done on the new aqueduct was begun a day or two ago. Similar suits aggre­ gating $8,000,000 are expected. PUBLIC interest in the sensational de- veloBHaents in the, affairs of the Spring Garden Bank and the Keystone Bank, the flight of the indicted President of the latter institution, and the resigna­ tion from office of City Treasurer Bards- ley, continues unabated at Philadelphia. William U. Wanamaker, one of Marsh's -bondsmen, offers a reward of 81,000 for WHILE there is nothing in Secretary Blaine's condition to excite alarm, he has reached that stage where absolute rest and freedom from business cares is necessary to prevent a protracted and perhaps dangerous i.lness. If Mr. Blaine followed his own inclinations he would probably leave the sick-room and resume his official duties at Washington, but his family insists that his health is of great­ er importance than affairs of State. His anxiety has been relieved to a certain extent thiough an understanding with the President that the Hon. John W. Foster will act as diplomatic adviser at the State Department during Mr. Blaine's absence. SENATOR WILLIAM STEWART, of Ne­ vada, has prepared an amendment to the Constitution, making the President of the United States ineligible for a sec­ ond term. This amendment Senator Stewart will introduce on the first day that Congress meets. The Senator will recite in a preamble to his prouosed amendment that under the present) sys­ tem the Presidents during their/ first terms use their office as a political! ma­ chine and the White Hou>-e a placV for political caucuses.

W & 1.09 # .«K .71 Ousted tht Wlccrd from Erie's Control --W»i a Second 'Warwick--Put Alfonso on the Throne or Spain --JPrlnceljr Bene­ faction* to His Friends. The death of James McHenry from bronchitis, which was announced by cable from London, created profound interest in Wall street Mr. McHenry had lived so long abroad and had pro­ moted and financed so many foreign en­ terprises that most people supposed him to be an Englishman. He was, however, essentially an American: for, although born in Ireland, he was, while an infant, brought to this country by his father, a well-known physician, who settled In Philadelphia and practiced thero for many yejirs. it was in the Quaker City that young McHenry was educated and it was there that he began his business career. At the head of the English investors in the Erie property, who owned what was satirically called a "controlling" amount of the bonds and shares, McHenry un­ dertook to turn the plunderers out of power. The amazing conditiou of the judiciary of this city, as well a? of the municipal and State governments, at that time is matter of history. General Daniel E. Sickles, on behalf of the own­ ers of the Erie property, sought to re­ gain control of it through the Legis­ lature, and the judiciary was worked by means of suits brought by the Attorney General, the late Franois C. Barlow. It was in v&in. Backed by the treas­ ury of the Erie Company and the power of the ring in the city and State,Could and his associate, Fisk, seemed to be in- vincib e. At this .-juncture Mr. Gcorgo Crouch went to London and laid before Mr. McHenry and Mr Bischoffshcim a plan for deposing the precious pair through a revolt of their own directors. Tho scheme was adopted, and after a series of exciting and nearly incredible Incidents, which assumed almost the aspect of a civil war, the struggle ter­ minated in *the ejectment of the plun­ derers and in Mr. Gould ultfmately giv­ ing back some #9,000,000 nominal value of securities, which are credited to-day on tho books of tha Erie Company as his "restitut on fund." In his way McHenry was a W'arwick, a king-maker, for he was instrumental in putting Alfonso on the throne of Spain, and was prominent in a project for placing tho hapless Prince Imperial on the thro'ie of France. Mr. Mc- Henry's spleiKiid mansion. Oak Lodge, Kensington, just back of Holland Park, is well known to thousands of Ameri­ cans who were entertained thrrj with almost regal splendor. * Notwithstanding occasional reverses of fortune, he appeared to Always have had injreservc the means to keep up this establishment The housa was filled with the richest furniture and the choicest works of art It was fn this mansion, with Mr. McHemy and his wife, that Isabella, the ex-Queen of Spain, with her son Alfonso, sojourned after she was deposed. It was there that tho young Prince made his home while prosecuting his studies as a cadet at the Woolwich Military Academy, and it was there that McHenry and his asso­ ciates perfected their plans for raising the funds which were successfully used in placing the young man on the throne of his mother. When Napoleon and Eugenie sought refuge in England they, with their son, were the guests of Mr. McHenry, and it was at Oak Lodge that the Prince Im­ perial lived for years while attending Woolwich Academy, just as Alfonso had done years before, occupying the same suito of rooms. History came very near repeating itself in a singular manner, for in the same house financial arrange­ ments wei'4^iaade and plans perfected for placing the Prince Imperial on tho throne formerly occupied by his father, just as Alfonso had succeeded to Isa­ bella's. These, howover, were doomed to failure. The princely style lh which ho used the great fortunes he accumulated fur­ nishes many interesting anecdotes. The late S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, was Mr. McIIenry's counsel in connection with Erie. On one of his visits here Mr. McHenry happened to Visit with Mrs. Barlow and others an estate at Glen Cove, L. 1., which was on the market. The day before he sailed for England Mr. McHenry presented Mrs. Barlow with the title deeds of the property, which was valued at several hundred thousand dollars. After the Erie vic­ tory Mr. Crouch, who had been liberally compensated for his services in that campaign, dined one evening at Oak Lodge. As he was leaving Mr. McHenry handed him an envelope with^the re­ quest that he would peruse its contents at his leisure. It contained the host's personal check for £10,00a OFF FOR BEHRING SEA. & 5.75 (t* 5.50 @ 5.00 & 1.09 <g> .68 & .50 & 5.25 m 4.85 (§ 5.50 <Si 1.09^ 89 .62 & .52}* & 1.08^ <fS .55 <9 .5014 <4 4.25 & 6.00 <$ 4.95 & 5.00 & 6.75 ® 1.04 & .66 & .54 M .95 (fit .75 ©11.T5 tru:t of Columbia.

NEWFOUNDLANDERS. BENEATH THE IRON HEEL OPPRESSION OP From the Imperial Government--They Op­ pose Star-1 hamber Session* of tho Co'o- nial Legislature -- Tho Action of tho Newfoundlanders Cansos m Sensation in Parliament. The Newfoundland House of Assem­ bly met at St. Johns for the purpose of passing a local coercion act identical with the imperial act, with the excep­ tion of a provision that it shall bo en­ forced one year only. This provision is considered a blind, because it would be renewable unless a similar permanent act was passed. Morine, one of tho delegates, sent a protest against passing the imperial act. He arrived on the Allan steamer from England and mado a long statement be­ fore both houses of the Legislature. The anti-coercioil members protested against keeping the public out but, were outvoted. At the close of his speech Morine gave notice that he would intro­ duce a coercion bill. The ru es of the Assembly having been suspended, tho bill was rushed through its first and second readings and afterward passed the committed stage, Morine styling himself the leader of the opposition. He was unable to get a single member of his own party to fol­ low hira> The Government party, which a few days ago parsed resolutions de­ nouncing local coe cion and repudiating delegates' unauthorized proposals, under Whiteway's threat of dissolution voted to give naval officers the right to remove persons and property of every descrip­ tion 011 the so-called French shore, where the lobster arbitration is accepted. Great indignation prevails at the re­ versal of policy of the delegates. Most of the members stayed away. Only four­ teen voted for and five against coerc'ofl in the Assembly of thirty-six membera The* position of the people generally is, that if coercelve measures are adopted, the imperial authorities should bear the expenses and assume the responsibility and odium of cutting down the halyards from the flagstaff's of the colonial build­ ing. The Government created a sensation by discharging seven of the Fortune Bay prisoners. One of tho ringleaders, Hynes, is to be tried for carrying bait to St. Pierre. Stewart, the other ringlead­ er, is still at large. Since the agitation commenced public indignation has never been so intense as at present. The Daily Colonist, voicing public sentiment, says that the back­ down is cowardly and contemptible, Newfoundland being scourged with scor­ pions and by masked executioners for the purpose of making her accept con­ federation. At the request of the English Liberal leaders the Assembly recommitted the local coercion bill for the purpose of en­ acting that it be enforced till the end of 1893, instead of one year. On division the Assembly met again with c osed doors. Three Government members-- Studdv, Finance Minister, Dowe and Duffy--voted with thf anti-cocrcionists. Strong indignation and disgust are ex­ pressed at the star-chamber proceedings of the Legislature. The action of the Newfoundlanders on the Queen's birthday caused quite a shtick in the lobbies of the British Par­ liament. It is taken a proof that the colony is desperate and will* not submit quietly to coercion. This is regarded as astonishing by the Tories and'with pain by the Liberals. It is no part of Salis­ bury's programme to drho the New­ foundlanders into revolt, while ho is de­ sirous of both humiliating them and of removing all cause for complaint on the part of the French. The Tories feel that the coercion of Newfoundland might be the entering wedge to sever Canada from the Crown. foalod Order* Mont to the Revenue Cnttef Rush to Sail to the North. The Secretary of the Treasury has telegraphed to the revenue cutter Rush to sail for Behring Sea. The nature of tho instructions which have been given to the commander are not known. The Rush will probably endeavor to prevent illicit scaling, and the result will prob­ ably be the same that it has keen in former years. The Canadian vessels will catch as many skins as they can, and will avoid# captura. The pealing vessels are understood to have aifealiy left, and the Canadian poaching vessels have several days' start. The time from San Francisix) to the seal islands is probably eighteen days. Thero is no other means of communication with them. Should a decision be reached tho revenue cutters now at San Francisco cannot possibly arrive at Behring Sea in time to prevent seal poaching if a vigorous policy should be determined upon. Reports from Ottawa Indicate that fifty Canadian poachers have already fitted out for a big sealing season and have set sail for passes in the Aleutian chain to await the annual mi­ gration of tho seals. In any event the poachers will have at least two weeks' unrestricted seal fishing before tho authorities of the United States can in­ terfere with them It does not seem pos­ sible at this late date for an arrangement to be effected between Great Britain and the United States providing for aclose sea­ son in Behring Sea Diplomatic red tape and the dilatory tactics adopted by Lord Salisbury have left the matter in such shape that it appears to bo impossible to adjust matters 011 any satisfactory basis. The representatives of tho North Ameri­ can Commercial Company are entirely satisfied with the prospect, because it does not appear possible to cancel their contract with the Treasury Department for the coming season. They had an ticipated a heavy loss in the event of a closed season, of which they could only be relieved by a special act of Congress reimbursing them on tho basis of their contract with the Government Cheers in a Court-room. The jury in the case of Pasquclena Robertello, the Italian girl who shot her lover to death in New York City be­ cause he assaulted her and refused to keep his promise of marriage, brought in a verdict of not guilty. One of the most affecting and exciting scenes ever witnessed in a New York court-room oc­ curred on the announcement of the ver­ dict. When tho clerk asked the usual question of the foreman he almost shout­ ed "not guilty," and, without waiting for a poll of their names, the jury shout­ ed "Not guilty, not guilty!" The scene which followed was exciting. ' M-en jumped up on tho s^ats waving hats and handkerchiefs, and yelled and cheered, nor - was there much effort made to re­ strain Ihem. FEAR A MONEY PANIG.

All this week the'air has been full Of gold, says a recent dispatch from Lon­ don. City men are all talking gold, ed­ itors are all working gold, English finan­ ciers overloaded with bad securities are piecing good ones in Paris for gol'J Russia is swallowing all the go'd she can fiet, taking f750,000 from this market, Tuesday, as bonne bouche for $13,500,- 000 more, which she will swallow next week. American steamers are bringing millions in gold weekly, and altogether 011 the great stage of European history later national money has completely usurped the place of international mur­ der, and grim-visagod war has smoothed his wrinkled front in view of the painful and unsupportable void in his trousers pocket which must be filled forthwith. The situation is peculiar; perhaps the most peculiar that European finance has ever seen. Its primary cause was the Argentine bankruptcy and the failure of Baring Bros. If the storm had blown itself oyt tho weather would have cleared ag£ln and suspense passed away. The intervention of tho Bank of En­ gland, while it averted the crash, insti­ tuted at the same time a period of un­ certainty and depression, the glcom of which has steadily deepened. Argentine finances are completely ho) oless. Cap­ ital ha£ fled the country. The now na­ tional bank bill sent by its Government to its Congress this week is sim­ ply a futile attempt to cure a chronic invalid. The people have very clearly proted their inability to govern themselves, and the country now owtes $000,000,000, or over$150 per capita of a population that would not themselves bring that average under the hammer-- judging from their late idiosyncrasies of action. Of this amount $400,000,000 lias come out of the European market, mainly from London, and is destined to be for the present a dead loss. The great financial checker-game of the last-few months, has simply been a Christian en­ deavor on tho part of some energetic and ingenious people to see that the loss falls hot on them, but on somebody else. The months of depression thus in­ augurated have reached their climax in the partial failure of the Portuguese loan. All this week the Paris bourse has been feverish and full of disquieting rumors. Pessimistic prophets foretell an inevita­ ble crash when the Portuguese account comes to bo settled at the beginning of June. French bankers havo managed to scrape through and place a third of the loan, but thero is a wonderful lack of confidence in Portugal's condition, as her poople have been taxed beyond en­ durance, and her borrowing capacity is exhausted. Trouble is expected among the German banks, whichji have failed to place Portuguese stock which they con­ tracted to take and for which they must pay. Rumors even asserted that Barons Alphonse and Gustav de Rothschild of the Paris house hac| quarreled over questions of policy and would dissolve, which report now takes the form of a statement that Baron Gustav has ceased actively to concern himself with the firm through ill health. Spaiu is in trouble and has proclaimed Its pressing need of $20,000,000 to pay for new railways and a new fleet. Italy is even worse off with a deficit of mill­ ions, which can only be supplied by bor­ rowing, as the last drop has been squeezed out of the popular orange by overtaxation: while the worst sign of all is that each tax brings in less than before. Customs receipts in April alone were $2,000,000 loss than the Minister of Finance had calculated, and the poverty and misery of the people, thousands of whom are in Rome without work or bread, are portentous. All the Latin countries, in iTact--European and South American--seem to be more or less in trouble, and Quite equal of themselves to bring about a great and phenomenal crisis in the money market Strange to say, however, they are likely to be assisted in this work by the aueer financiering of M. Vishnegradski, Russian Minister of Finance. M. Vish­ negradski ever sinca he assumed office has had one ambition, viz.. to swell the value of the Russian ruble. This, by the aid of French financiers and through buying up Russian paper, he has sucA. ceeded in in doing in spite of the bitter objections of all the exporters and man­ ufacturers of the country. Vishnegradski, having now by finan­ cial chicanery raised tho status of tha ruble and of Russian securities to a de­ gree entirely Unwarranted by any in­ crease of commercial prosperity or any certainty of peace, is struggling tooth and nail to maintain his position, and if he Is forced to withdraw all the 865,000,- 000 which Russia had until recently in London and which he has begun to draw upon, it wilt probably bring about with a crash the overhanging panic. At any rate all financial talk is gloomy, and the money crisis has entire­ ly put in abeyance any possibilities of war for some time to come. SETTLED WITH BLOOD. Winners and Losers on K|>«om Down*. . Mrs. Langtry plunged hi avily, says a cable dispatch, and is reported to have won an < normous>um on Common, whom she backed at the advice of Sportsman Baird. Some rumors place, the amount of her winnings as high as £50,000. Lord Kosslyn is known to have won £5,000 on Comlnon, and the Prinze of Wales a largo sum. Col. North, the nitrate magnate, was on the wrong side, and lost ah un­ comfortably large sum on Old Boots. One good result of the victory for Liquor Men Barred. The hottest light the Grand Lodgo of Knights of Pythias has known for years occurred at Cincinnati over a resolution to admit wholesale liquor dealers and brewers and their traveling salesmen to membership in the order. „ The debate was heated and sharp and many amend­ ments were introduced to confuse and mislead, but a vote was reached after many delays and resulted in a very posi­ tive majority, something like 125 in a vote of ,r>00 against the proposition. A year ago it carried by but four majority. Here an l Thero. . . NEW YORK'S Sherman monument fund is $54,046. Tin: popti'ation of Alaska, as per cor­ rected returns, Is 30,000. "• Du.

V. v An Affair of Horfbr on the Site ot the World's Fair. Baron Rudolph Kalnoky, son of the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and another guest at the Richelieu, who for convenience sake may bo called Jones, fought a duel in'Jackson Park, Chicago, at an early hour on Sunday. They jabbed each other with rapiers, shed their blood on the gra?s, and now Kalnoky is on a train with a wound through his leg, and Jones lies'at the Richelieu under a doctor's care. The meeting was as romantic as the third act of a modern melodrama, with the additional distinction of being the lirst duel fought in Chicago since Pottawattamie warriors hurled stones at each other in the days before John Went- Irorth and civilization landed on those shores. A nobleman, a pretty woman, and an intruding rival, a bottle of wine, in Insult, a blow; a challenge, a meeting in tho gray mists of a May morn and the cljck of steel on steel. These are the in­ gredients of a romantic tale which must make every honest burgher of that town feel like a citizen of Verona stalking through the streets with a rapier bang­ ing against his heels. The girl who was the cause of the dispute is Mittie Athor- ton, who wears tights and sings in the Duff Opera Company. She is reported as being pretty, shapely, vivacious, and engaged to marry another man from tho duelists. THEY SWALLOW THE BAIT. Stories of Big Winnings Bringing Crowds to Monte Carlo. It was a lucky day for the managers, of the Aionte Carlo Casino when, in studying how to avoid being bled by journalistic blackmailers, they hit upon tho plan of devoting part of their .ill- gotten gains to the formation of what l'rinco Bismarck would have called the "reptilo fund" for tho purpose of sub­ sidizing the purchasable press in their interest Since that time the world has been edified from time to time by circum­ stantial accounts of the most tremend­ ous runs of luck on the part of frequent­ ers of the Monte Carlo tables, and win­ nings have been reported as of common occurence sufficient to break the bank though it had been backed by the Roths­ childs. That these ingenious baits have J-vhk-zi'1} 'it been swallowed Is apparent from the. to- creased attendance At the salons. The latest s|®pgE t»f the kind Vas to the effect that the Duchess of Montrose had left Monte Carlo richer by 250,000 franca than when she arrived there. Follow­ ing upon this announcement came a rush to the famous gambling place, the crowds being larger than ever known, there before. The receipts of the bank in the last month have been something fabulous. As one result there have been, no less than seven suicides of ruined players since May 1. The last self-mur­ der to be recorded is that of a Bavarian banker, who is said to have lost a. million francs of his own and his clie jW money. BIG INSULT TO ENGLAND THE BRITISH COLORS HAULEE* DOWN IN AFRICA. War In tho. Dark Continent Between For- tugoese and British t olonists--English* ll Steamers Seized--A Number Kl led. in mn Attack on Commissioner Johnston's. Expedition. A dispatch received at London from % Lourenzo Marque?z, a Portuguese town - J of Africa, on the north side of Delago» J Bay, says that the British twin screw torpedo cruiser Brick, six guns, Com­ mander Alfred Winsloe, has arrived . there and reports that a serious conflict i has taken place between the British and J Portuguese eolonists. Commander Wins- H loe says that the troops stationed at th» , Portuguese military post on the'river Pungwe have attacked the British South > Africa Company's expedition, com- : manded by Commissioner II. H- John- ' ston. Seven Portuguese were killed, but the British loss is unknown. The British twin screw cruiser Magl- cienne, six guns. Captain J. P. Ripon, and the British composite gunboat Pig­ eon. six guns, Commander Henry R. P. Floyd, have arrived at Bcira, Mash- onaland, a Portuguese settlement in South Africa. It was at Beira that in April the Portuguese authorities seized British mail sacks and refused to allow them to be carried to their destination. These mails wore intended for tho Brit­ ish colonists in Mashonaland. The Brit­ ish colonists were indignant at this high­ handed proceeding on the part of tho Portuguese, and complained to the Brit'sh Government about it. Then Colonel ,"i Willoughby applied for permission to pro­ ceed to the Pungwe River in order to pay the prescribed dut!es, but, receiving no answer after forty-eight hours, he started without permission, and the Portuguese opened fire upon his expedition, and seized the two steamers which composed it. The Portuguese also seized the mails and provisions and imprisoned sixteea members of the expedition. Colonel Willoughby endeavored to se­ cure the release of his vessel? by pay­ ment of the usual customs duties, but tho Portuguese officials who seized the boats refused to accept this payment, and ordering the British flag hauled down, hoisted the Portuguese flag in its ' place. The Portuguese declare tl^it the British are excluded from the Pungwe River, which Colonel Willoughby's boats wer3 navigating when seized. ^ Lord Homily's Miahap, Lord Romilly uset a frarafftfte lamp in tM drawing-room of his London resi­ dence at midnight Ho was alone at the time, and attempted to extinguish the lire unassisted. Shortly aft^r tho butler smelled the smoke, and on mak­ ing a hurried investigation found Lord Romiily lying senseless in the burning drawing-room, the nobleman having been overcome by smoke and the fumes arising from the burning contents of the lamp. Lord Romiily was subsequent- 'S ly removed to St George's Hos» "1 pital, where all attempts to revive him failed Several fire engines, in response to alarms sent out, hastened to Lord Romilly'8 house, about which an excited crowd gathered. The firemen, on entering, found Blanche Griffin, a housemaid, and Emma Lovell, the cook, in the same state of insensibility in which their employer was discovered. They were also removed to the hospital, where it -was found that both were al­ ready dead. Another fema'e servant and the butler had succeeded in escaping from ihe house. George Byrne, a fire­ man, received ser!o:ts injuries while en­ gaged in rescuing the "unconscious in­ mates of the house. The fire, which was not extensive, was soon extinguished. Trouble Over the Cx •rowitz' Gifts. A scandal has developed as a sequel of the visit of the Czarowitz to Colombo, says a London cablegram. It seems the royal visitor, on deprrting from that city, left a number of valuable presenta to be distributed among the officials whose duty and pleasure it had been to entertain him. A difficulty arose ovfer „ the distribution of the gifts The news- v;g papers printed a statement, evi- j| dently official, describing the pres- I ents and giving the names of the persons wht> were to reee ve t^pm. Mr. Pearce, manager of the Ceylon rail­ way, w*s, according to this schedule, to -*M become the recipient of a scarf-pin set in "1 rubies and diamonds. He was naturally *i| somewhat disappointed when the British ^ Consul, with whom tho gifts had been v left by the Czarowitz for disposal, hand- M ed him a not expehsive sapphire ring a» his share of the windfall. This was re­ turned with a demand for the present left by the Czprowitz and a threat to suo the Consul unless the des'rad article was forthcoming. The matter has finally been referred to tho Governor. -q| From Cottage to Pa'aee. | The favorite wife of the Sultan was - ^ once a poor girl living in the coal mines of France. She was a beautiful girl, and some charitable person found her occu- pation in a famous dress-making estab- | lishment in France. She was sent to Constantinople with dresses ordered by ^ the Sultan's mother. Nothing more was -| heard of her for many years, until a lit­ tle inheritance was left her by a relative, •; and notices were published asking for ^ her whereabouts. In answer to these fiM notices a wonderful equipage, escorted by mounted eunuchs stopped at the door of the embassy, and the Sultan's only legal wifo stepped down to declaie-her­ self the once Flora Collin, and renouuee ^ the legacy in favor of her kindred, who^ are still poor. One of the Largest. Margaret Mullaney, who weighed T5tt pounds, died from heart disease at Ne\» York. An undertaker found it im­ possible to put her huge body on ice,, go it was embalmed. An ordinary coffin is sixteen inches wide and) . thirteen inches high. A plain cloth- covered box thirty-seven inches wide and twenty inches high errcISSfed the corpse. It took twelve men to carry the coffin down-stairs. No hearse was big enough to accommodate the coffin, and an under taker's wagon carried the body to Cal­ vary Cemetery. A grave is ordinarily dug twenty-four inches wide. Ground had been bought for two graves, giving a width of forty-eight inches Sixteen of the cemetery employes lowtfed the svsj coffin into the double gravo. | IT is said that ex-President and Mrs. Si Grover Cleveland will make Tudor Haven their principal place of resi­ dence during the summer months, much to the disappointment of the residents of Marion, who have been hoping that |fl they would again spend tho season there, W.
