VICTOR EMMANUEL DEAD.

The cable announces the death of the
King of Italy yesterday afternoon. The
disease of the King, as previously report
ted, had prepared the public mind for
this result. Victor Emmanuel H., King
of Sardinia from 1849, and King of Italy
from 1861, was born at Turin, March IA,
1920. Only July 2, 1871, he entered the
city of Rome, which he claimed to have
annexed itself by popular vote to Italy,
and took up his residence in the Quirinal
Palace. By his first wits. who died
January 20, 1855, he has two sons-Hum-
bert, who will succeed him, and Amad-
Gus, for time King of Spain; and two
daughters-Clotilda, married to Prince
Napoleon, and Pia, married to the King
of Portugal. He has since married,
morganetically, "a marriage in which 1t
is stipulated that the wife and her chill
dren shall not enjoy the rank nor inherit
the possessions of her busband,) Rosa
Voncellina, Countess of Montefore.
Humbert, who succeeds Victor, was
born March Il, 1914, and is consequently
now in the prime of life. He is q good
soldier, having taken part with credit in
various wars. He Is married to the
Princess Margaret Of Savoy. Plus 1X.,
who is twenty-eight years the senior of
Victor Emmanuel, still lives. His sur
vival of the robust King of Italy affords
another illustration Of the truth that
"health and longevity are not synony-

A FARMER's DAUGHTER ELoPEs WITH
A LOVER OVER FORTY YEARS HER
SENIOR.

A FARMER's DAUGHTER ELoPEs WITH
SENIOR.
Lydia Ann Eliza, aged 16 years, only
daughter of Elijah Soper, a wealthy
farmer residing at Baldwin's, Long Is
land, eloped on Monday morning with
John Bedell, man go years of age.
Soon after his daunhter's departurh Mr..
Soper missed his bank book and some
money that he had in it. Yesterday Mr..
Soper visited Jamaica for the purpose of
procuring warrants for the arrest of Be-
dell for tresspass and abduction, and of
his daughter on suspicion of theft.
IL is said that the young woman's pars
ents tried to dissuade her from receiving
BedelPs attentions, and that, finally, they
locked her in her room on the evenings
on which Bedell was expected TO call.
This precaution, according to the story
told, was in vain, because that Bedell
branches reached TO within five Ur six
feet of the young woman's window, and
from that perch conversed with her. At
ter Mr.. Soper discovered the use that
was made of the apple tree, it is averred,
he chopped 1t down. When Lydia Ann
Eliza was taken out to walk, with
watchful eyes upon her, there was par
ticular spot, IL is said, where she mans
aged to drop letter tor Bedell. Final>
ly, it is said, the gossips, from sympa>
thizing with the parents, changed to
sympathizing with the young woman,
averring that she was being wrongfully
treated. This encouraged her to stand
up for her lover.
Then, as the story goes, the young
woman's father offered her his farm and
all his wealth, if she would be married
to young man whose addresses she had
formerly rejected. But she would not
consent. About week ago her parents
refused her request to consent to her be-
ing married to Bedell. Mr.. Soper then,
it is said, took the precaution to either
himself request, or have others request,
the ministers in Baldwiu's and the.
neighboring villages to not marry MS
daughter tc Bedell, should they be call
ed on to do so.
On Sunday night Lydia Ann Eliza
wanted to go 10 church, but she was not
allowed TO go, her fathers suspicious
having been aroused by bundle of
clothes that he found dangling from her
window. and that he deposited in the
barn. A battle is alleged to have taken
place between Lydia Ann Eliza and her
parents on their opposing her leaving the
house. According to one story, Bedell
appeared in the hallway, in the midst
OF the struggle, and the girl then dashed
out of the door, and Bedell followed.
On Monday afternoon, Isaiah Thomas
is said to have seen the couple in Grand
street, New York, peering into show
windows, and munching peanuts. Be-
dell said that they were to be married in
The evening, and that then Mr.. Soper
could make the most OF it.

speaking world. She is thei daughter
of E. l.. Davenport-a tragedian
whom two continents were proud to
honor-sud therefore she comes right
royalty by her talents. She thus bears
a name honored by all lovers of the
drama, and she adds lustre to it by
own artistic gifts. She is acknowledge
ed to be the most beautiful woman on
the American stage. But her claim to
excellence does not rest alone upon
this slender basis. She is brilliant

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The marriage OF
Mrs. Hicks In New York few days ago is

well known as rather eccentric. to say the
least. 1t recalls to the mind OF those who
were living at the Arlington Hotel, in this
city, In the winter of 1872. the star boarder
of that ia .hionable house. Mrs. Hicks
came to Washington in regal style. She
had the best rooms at the hotel. She was
accom- panied by Mrs. Hills. an old lady OF
white hair and aristocratic bearing, who
was unable, as was noticed to be out much
at night. She came In the capacity of
friend and companion TO Mrs. Hicks. She
had her separate suite OF rooms as well as
Mrs Hicks. They each hau their private
servant and Mrs. Hicks had maid beside
and her coachman and footman. Her
rooms were the same which the Secretary
and Mrs. Hamilton Fish occupied one
winter and the same which King Kalakua
and suite were assigned during his stay In
Washington. These consisted of sleeping
chambers, bath rooms, breakfast room,
two parlors and servants quarters, For
these Mrs. Hicks paid fifty dollars day.
She rarely breakfasted away from her
apartments, but unless dining out she al
ways came to the six O'Clock dinner.

jewelry-occaslonally a necklace of dia-

solitaire earrings as big as her thumb

but the fitting of them was work of art.
She was very graceful and self-possessed
