Queen Victoria will spend the latter
part of this winter at La Mortola, near

duchess of Albany will at the same
time occupy the villa at Cannes which
was engaged a short time ago for Ter

door young man passed by. He
bowed and smiled and so did the young
woman. Although they had never met
before, the young man proposed that
they should go to matinee, and the
girl consented. Afterward the youth
proposed matrimony with such marked
success that the two were united before
the sun went down. '
The killing of Billy McGlory's bar
keeper in New York by apoliceman has
given the officer a. tremendous boom.
The jury before which he was tried not
only acquitted him, but made, him, a
present of gold watch and chain. This
action is a warning to all thugs, for it
will encourage officers all over the coun-
try in the discharge of their duties and
pistols. The killing of officers in St.
Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, New York
and Philadelphia has taught the blue
coats to take no chances or bullets.

Yale Students, saying that the annual
cost of a comfortable life at Yale will not
exceed 500, and need not exceed $500
if young man is economical. Several
ways are recommended for increasing

st. Louis Special to Chicago Tribune:
Misunderstanding and Matthew Wood
lock quarreled near the town of Brook
ley, short distance from st. Louis.
Their friends advised them 10 settle
their dispute with the shotguns they
had carried home after a days hunt.
This advice was accepted, the men taxi

Both fired simultaneously. Vandenburg
