WEDDED AT CONVENTION. Miss McIntosh Becomes Bride. Vancouver, B.C., July 13.--Miss Bes- sie Melntosh, from Toronto, as dele- gate to the Christian Endeavor vention at Seattle, is attemding con- vention as Mrs. Robert Thompson, Orville, Washington. The change was sudden, as the little international ro mance is interesting, the marriage having been solemnized under C, E. auspices in the auditorium of the Un ited Presbyterian church, Seattle, Monday, and was the first distinctive ly C. E. ceremony on record. The cou- ple met in Detroit ten years ago, and parted, Miss McIntosh going to Tor- onto. She has been for the past six vears Bible teacher in Toronto Union Mission, while Thompson came to Oroville, where he acquired large in- terests as a stock raiser. The couple met in the Hotel Seattle rotunda, on Monday, for the first time in ten years, Thompson being a lelegate to the convention as superin- tendent of the Sunday school at Oro- ville. io i ------------ 'Bessie con on D.

On the Grounds of Descent From William III of England---Effort Being Made to Have Princess Succeed Upon the Death of the Present Hereditary Grand Duke. Brussels, - July 10--~The fight for a! throne, a kingdom and a fortune is not confined merely novelists who are always writing about those fictitious countries "back of the Balkans." At the present moment there is a claimant to the Grand Duchy of Lux- embourg in the person of Count Meren- berg, and the story which is likely to be unfolded when his rights are fully gone | into by the parliament of that state promises to outrival in point of interest | { even the most delightful novel from the romantic pen of the author of "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "Rupert of Hentzan." | The claimant to its grand ducal throne is Count Merenberg, brother of | to the imagination of | | up again, | grand duke was supposed to settle it for | stein, of | Bale, and Professor Haenels, of Kiel, to ! our power to thwart you | challenging Lid) ure of the male line the throne shall pass to the female line. An attempt is being made to secure the accession of the present grand duke's eldest daughter. On hearing of this | Count Mercnberg telegraphed a strong | protest against this proceeding, which { he characterized as unlawful. He at once obtained the opinions of leadifig | legal authorities on the continent, and was encouraged to proceed with his claim. Ever since the unsuccessful attempt during the lifetime of the Grand Duke William of the Netherlands to change the succession law the story of the Lux- embourg crown has been one of sur- prises. With the accession of the late Grand | Duke Adolph it was thought that the | question of succession would not crop The marriage of the present all time. The issue of the recent Lippe case, | and the decision then arrived at by the members of the Empire. Court, has led such distingaished lawyers as Dr. Liber- Berlin; Professor Frish, of | the conclusion that Count Mecrenberg is | justified in making his claim. Directly the Chamber of Deputies in | Luxembourg received Count Meren- | berg's protest they postponed their de- |cision as to the new regency law, | which would be required to secure the | succession of the grand duke's cldest | daughter, until the various judgments | presented have been fully examined and | considered. The Luxembourg Chamber of Depu- ties, havi been informed of Count Merenberg's claim to "the* throne, have {decided to go fully into the question, and an historic legal fight is in prospect. Baron Lyberg, the nunister of finance, wrote to the count the following ex- | traordinary letter: "I warn you that as you have declared war to us, we shall use every weapon in In doing so, nratters most detrimental to you and your family honor might come to light." The count's immediate reply to this insulting letter was, to send two seconds Baron' Lyberg to a duel, unless he apologized in the terms dic- | tated by Court Merenberg himself LUX TMBOURG. GRAND DUKE OF tee ete eet Countess Torby, wife of the Grand Duke Michael of Russia. The enfeebled state * of the reigning grand duke's health, and the fact that he has six daughters but no son, has raised the question of suc- cession, Count Mcrenberg claims to be the last living male descendant of William of Nassau, Prince of Orange, who after- ward became William, 111 of England and he has asserted his rights to the grand ducal throne, His claim 1s op- posed on the ground of his alleged mor- ganatic. descent, and by virtue of Article No. 42 of the family records of 1783, which provides that in the event of fail- The terms of this apology were as fol- lows: "I apologize to Count Merenberg for my letter, and regret haviig attacked his or his family's honor, and beg "his pardon for doing so. This apology was Lyberg. In 1814 Luxembourg became a grand duchy under the king of the Ncther- lauds, when it included Belgran Luxem bourg, but it was dismembered by the revolution of 1830, and in 1839 divided between Belgium and the Netherlands In 1867 the grand duchy was declared neutral territory by the Treaty of Lon don. It has belonged, however, since 1842 to the German Customs Union. signed by Baron SPIDERS' AND SNAILS' Eight Is Spider's Numher--None Ever Shut. The next time you catch a spider try to find the eight shiny little eyes at the anterior end, some above and some put was the word. under the edge of what we may imagine to be its forehead, To examine these parts to the best advantage hold the spider in tweezers, or it may be better to usc a spider killed by being dropped into a bottle of diluted alcohol. These eight eyes vary in arrangement and in relative size in various species of spiders --in some they may be arranged in two yows, in others in three; some may be very small and others large and promi- nent, and so on--but there they are, rather poor eyes, near-sighted, looking in several dirgCtions at oncé, and the spider, which can never shut any of them, is sure tq see everything that ap- proaches unless it is asleep, in which case the sight is dead: For some pur- poses it may be convenient to have eyes that roll up and disappear at the ap- roach of dangér. And these are exact- ly what the snail has, situated at the end of two long and sensitive palpi, or feelers. When all is guiet their owner extends these ofgaps, and you can see at their tips small round knobs upon which the eves are placed. But if you touch one of the palpi or éven jar the snail a little the eyes begin to back into these feelers as the tip of a glove finger may be turned in, and they no longer see any danger that may be lurking at hand. ? ---- The Rain.

Compositors 0 -asionally Blunder In That Way. | "Come over and try some new 'soup,' " a lady novelist did not write; "songs" "It is a sickly 'kopje' of the real article" -was perhaps excusable. {It appeared in a-paper during the Boer | war. These mistakes are curious enough, | but the pale into insignificance before some of those that never reach the printed sheet. 1" "Cold milk, father!" once demanded 'a compositor in' cold type, and he was aggrieved to have to alter it to" 'Cead milte fallthe"! "Brer Fox" was made "Boer Fox"--that was also during the | South African war. Abbreviations are at times the bane of the compositor, but he had no excuse for setting up, in an account of a Mansion | House function, that ameng those pre- sent were "Old Isaacs and Old Treloar." He should have known that "Ald." was an abbreviation of "Alderman." "Let the gulled Judy wink" appeared in another first-proof, and the proof- reader wearily made it the "galled jade wince." "Die! lusty platter!" has quite | a transpontine flavor, but the "copy" said "Die Lustige Blatter" (a German | weekly paper). Als | "Pignut of the enunciation" does not seem convincing; "figment of the imagi- nation" is better. "Petticoats long on Sunday morning is a disgrace" is all right when the first two words are read "Petticoat-lane." | Space forbids of more %han a final "howler," which is a classic in the print- ing world.

John Antie, Hospital Ship, Tells Of Camps. ~In the logging camps on the mainland coast and on the east coast of Vancou- ver Island there are at present over four thousand loggers at work, which is dou- Ne the number of this time last year. is is the estimate of Rev. John Antle, commander of the hospital ship Colum- bia, which visits all these camps shat can be reached by steamer. The Columbia arrived in port Satur- day night from Van Anda via Vancou- ver and leaves in this morning for the north. Rev. fir. Antle says the ship lias become too small for its work, and that if the mission of relieving the sick and injured in the various camps is to be satisfactorily fulfilled a much larger vessel will have to be secured. The Co- lumbia, though small, is a splendidly equipped steamer with convenient ar- rangements for hospital, church or lib- rary purposes, On it many surgical operations have been perforined, lovers have been united in matrimony and hundreds of people have enjoyed them- selves reading the vjrious books, maga- zines and newspapers provided. A hospital to whicli the ship carries patients has been maintained for some time past at Rock Bay, another was opened at Van Anda last week and: a third is in contemplation at Campbell river. At the latter places Seattle com- pany has made arrangements for logs ging on a large scale, and it 1s antici- pated that fully three hundred men will be working there next year. At Rock Bay the hospital is now oyer- crowded and accommodation fof the suffering has to be made on the floor of the building. The capacity of 'the, insti- tution should be doubled at the present time. Rev. Mr. Antle says that the oppor- tunities for workingmen in the logging camps -has induced a number of people to take up land in their vicinity and that families are making their futtire homes in these northern parts of British Co- lumbia. ---------------- Better Than They Kn:w ' A congregation in a hilly district in Ohio bought a small tract of land and erected a church building upon it; says Youth's Companion. Then the question of insurance came up. Mr. Sipes, the wealthiest member, who had contributed more than half the money needed for the new structure, declared that he did mot believe in insurance, "This is the Lord's building. He'll take care of it," he said. His view prevailed, and there was no insurance. In a few weeks the building was struck by lightning and almost totally consumed by, fire, Another one was erected, Mr. Sipes contributing the greater portion of the fund, as before. This time the demand was almost unani- mous that it be insured, but Mr. Sipes again objected on the same ground. "If it burns down again, brethren," he said, "I'll agree to rebuild it my self." Again he carried his point In less than a month the new church was struck by lightning again, and although strenu- ous efforts were made to save it, the loss was almost total. "There must be some reason for this, brethren," said Brother Sipes. "I am going to find out what it is." Thereupon he employed a force of men to sink a shaft on the site of the twice-destroyed church. Within a few days a rich vein of iron ere was found, and the church property was sold for many times the amount needed to buy land in another locality and build again, "1 tell you, brethren," said Brother Sipes, "it pays to trust the Lord. He's a great deal better business manager than anybody in this congregation." Ravages Of Sleeping Sickaess. Dr. Wollaston, a member of the ex- pedition sent to explore the Ruwenzori region by the British museum, has now returned. He relates that on reaching Uvira at the north end of Lake Tangan- yika they came upon the sleeping sick- ness country and from this point through the Manyuema country travers- ed a region devastated by this terrible plague. He describes the sights as be- ng fearful, with people dead and dyur on the roadside, as it is the custom of these people to turn out stricken natives to die. In this country the population are dying by thousands ahsoliie with- out any medical attention. In ganda alone over a quarter of a million have succumbed to sleeping sickness since . it broke out a few years ago. The Journal de Bruxelles announces that Dr. Holle- beke, who leaves for the Congo on May oth, to practise upon native victims of sleeping sickness the experiments he has made on animals in Belgium, has com- municated to the Academy of Medicine an account of a method for the treat- ment of sleeping sickness by atoxyl, the new remedy recommended by Dr. Thomas, of the Eiverpool School of Medicine. Since April, 1906, Dr. Holle- beke has treated. seven Europeans suf- fering from sleeping sickness, with com- plete success. - Mr. Dooley On The Lie. Dissertations by Mr. Dooley.

Crawfordsville, Ind, July though it has been over a year since the miraculous appearance ot Dr. Byron who dropped into the little town of La- doga, ten miles south of here, as ene risen from the dead, nothing has been brought to light to clear the strange mystery. The mind of this man, mourn. ed as dead for twenty-eight years, ig practically the same as the day he re- turned to the village of his boyhood days. The "sleep" of this modern Rip Van Winkle embraces the period be- tween 1878 and March 10, 1006. In 1878 Dr. Mahornéy was practising medicitie in the little town of Cerro Gordo, Ill. He was married and had a little son three years old. Believing that there was Detter prospects in the west he decided to visit his brother Perry, at Union Centre, Kan., with the idea of Jo- cating in that vicinity if the outlook were good. After kissing his wife and babe a fond farewell he boarded a train which 'was to carry him to twenty-cight years of 'unconsciousness. The train was wrecked and - among his injuries was a- deep cit int the head. After getting his wounds dressed he went on to Kansas, where he met his brothet. In spite of his injuries he ap» peared to be all right, but was warned that he should be careful of the wound on the side of his head on to another point, and wrote back to another brother in Ladoga, Dr. J. C Mahorney, that he had found a swtable place to settle. That was the last that any of his relatives heard of him for twenty-eight years. It was as if he had been swallowed up by the earth, as no clue could be found as to his where: abouts. spent a small fortune in the search for his son, but to mo avail. The father died in the year 1894 and the mother in until the last for the return of their Jost son. . About a year before the death of the mother she said she beard her son Byron crying to: get into the house late one night. By the time she arrived at the door he was gone. She insisted until the last that dt aps Byron's voice. she had heard, and believed him alive when all others had given him up as dead, Mrs. Byron Mahorney, wife of the missing doctor, after waiting five years for her husband's return, jeving that he was either dead or had deserted her, obtained-a droite. To be on the safe side, and married again. She now lives in Centralia, Wash., and has five more children by her second husband Her son Ivan, by her first husband, also went ta the state of 'Washington, where he now resides. / On March 10, 1906 Dr. Byron Ma- horney stepped from a Monon train at doga. No one recognized him and he looked about in complete bewilderment He then started in the directibn of his old home, but when he reached the Cen tral Indiana tracks, which were not there when he left, he despaired of going further and sought a-hotel. It was while at. the 'hotel that he found a man who recognized him. The man directed him to the home of his brother, J. Perry Mahorney. Neither of the brothers recognized the other upon meeting, but when Dr. I. C. Mahorney, a third brother, was called in he recog- nized the long-lost Byron. It was then that the startling discovery was made that the man's mind was a complete blank so far as the last twenty-cight years were conggrned. He did not even tram.
