The exact amount of Counties
Rosebery's estate is said to be $4,000,
600. Her annual income is nearly 81,
100000.
The Prince of Wales created a grea
sensation at a fancy dress ball in Paris
recently, by appearing as Robinson Cru
soc in his dress of skins and surmount
ed by the traditional umbrella.
When Lady Rosebery reached hel
new residence of Dalmeny Park, the ole
housekeeper met her at the door anC
broke above the young brides head ar
oaten cake, in accordance with the ole
custom, welcoming her and wishing hel
plenty.
Baron Linden has been sentenced
by German Court to six months i'm
prisonment and two years and q hall
detention for high treason and defam-
ing Prince Bismarck. The printer OF
the pamphlet got off with half that pun
ishment.
Miss May Parsons, who married a
German Prince, de Lynard, at Column
bus, o., a few years ago, is not allowed
intercourse with her parents and rela-
tiveS, though her mother has several
times visited Berlin to see her daughter.
1t is alleged it would make dent in the
etiquette of the court to allow Nays
mother to call on her.
Officials will keep an especially
sharp eye on the Koh-i-noor, which,
with the other crown Jewels of England,
is to be sent TO the Paris Exposition.
The sovereignty of the East depends,
according to Hindoo legends, on the
possession of this magnificent gem.
England may, therefore, be excused for
a little extra nervousness rs to the safe
custody of the Koh-inoor.
London society has a short memory.
Col. Valentine Bakers exploits in the
Turkish service have made him the
hero of the hour, and his adventures on
an English railway have already been
forgotten. He has been unanimously
elected q member of the Marlboro club,
which is under the special patronage of
the Prince of Wales.
Count Stolberg Wernigerode, who
has lately been German Minister at
Vienna, is to replace Bismarck as Vice
President of the Ministry. He is of the
haute noblesse, and has great estates,
both important qualifications for a Ger
man Minister. Disraelis, Jules SimOns,
ETC., do not find favor as Ministers in
the eyes of German despots. Count
Entenburg, lately Viceroy of Hanover,
becomes Minister of the Interior.
At ball in Paris, Mrs. Mackey, the
wife of the American bonanza king,
wore dress of silver brocade, trimmed
with chenille and silver fringe, dog
collar necklet of large diamonds, and
head-dress studded with diamonds. A
marabout feather, silvered, was fastened
at the side. Another American lady
wore gold brocade, and white faille
striped with gold. The two tunics
crossed in front like shawl, showing
two points, and were embroidered with
white, jet and gold.
Fourteen English women are study
ing medicine at the Faculty of Paris,
and while DIR. Vulpian, the Dean of the
Faculty, speaks in complimentary terms
of their behavior, Mr.. Chaplin Aryton
writes to a London paper that those who
lead daily, almost hourly, life of com
radeship at hospital, laboratory and
school, acknowledge with gratitude the
great kindness and gentle courtesy ever
shown to them by the some 5000 young
Frenchmen who are their FELLOWSHIP
dents.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1878-04-25

AT Clark's Summit, near Scranton,
Pa, Jeremiah E. Wideman, was at work
in mill at circular saw, and he step
ped between a board pile and the saw,
when, by some mishap, the boards at the
top of the pile gave way, and he was
thrown against the saw, which was re-
revolving at lightning speed. He was
caught in the back by the sharp teeth /;
he gave one agonizing look towards his
associates, made feeble, faltering mo-
ton of the hands, and was ripped
through from his head to his bowels in
q few seconds.

GENERAL.

The planet Mercury will pass between the
earth and the sun on Monday, May 6. The
phenomenon, which is called a transit of
Mercury, will begin about 1924 a. m, and
end at about 4:57 p. m, Chicago time. The
sun and planet will, therefore, be above our
horizon during the whole time of the tran
sit, ana the phenomenon will be visible from
the whole American Continent-weather
permitting. 1t will not be perceivable by
the unaided eye, but a glass of very low
power will suffice to give distinct view of
the apparent passage of Mercury across the
solar disc.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, on the 10th, Senator Howe
submitted some remarks regarding his re-
cent speech in the Senate criticising the ac-
ton of the President in regard to Louisiana
affairs. He referred to charges publicly made,
lhat MS speech was part OF re-arranged
plan among certain Senators of an attack
upon the President, and also that he was
actuated by personnel resentment on account
of the President ignoring his aspirations for
seat on the Supreme Court bench. The SEN
ator denied that any other Senator was i'm
plicated with him i'm this matter; he
spoke for himself alone, and he felt fully JUS
titled in what he said upon that occasion.
He spurned the insinuation that he was ac-
tuated by any personal slight, and said that
