Romance in Real Life.

The beautiful and highly-cultivated
daughter of one of the proud old Ro-
man mobiles, the Duke of Gallese, was
introduced to the Italian poet, Signor
D'Annunzio. Her kinsfolk never
dreamed that a lady of such great ex-
pectations and high birth could run
any.risk by an intimate acquaintance
with a man risen from the lower ranks.
The two walked and chatted together,
but, while the young lady's friends
supposed that she was talking of in
tellectual matters, it turned out
that the conversation of the interest
ing couple turned in very different
direction. The Duke learned, to his
horror and anger that his daugh-
ter had dared to betroth herself
to the poet. As matter of course, he
refused to give his sanction to their
marriage, whereupon the lovers took
the train to Florence, where they were
made man and wife. This last step
made the Duke so indignant that he
had legal document drawn up by
which he disinherited his daughter;
but the father and the man afterwards
so far overcame the aristocrat in him
that he settled upon her for life a year
ly income of 5000 lire. The story has
since obtained an almost tragical COM
pleteness by the separation of the Duke
from his own wife. He accused her of
having secretly favored the cause of
D'Annunzio. and of allowing the lovers
to hold interviews after the father had
prohibited all further intercourse be-
tween the two He has consequently
broken up his household in Rome, made
a settlement upon his Duchess and de-
clared that he will henceforth live and
die as if he had neither wife nor child.

a Furious CYcIone.

At nine o'clock few evenings ago a cy-
clone passed southeast of Prairie du CHEN,
Crawford County, which did great damage
to property in its course. But one person
was killed. The direction of the storm was
from southwest to northeast. The first
place it struck was the house of Frank
Fuka, in the town of Bridgeport, which it
blew down, as well as the stables and cow.
sheds. The next place was the house and
buildings of Bohemian farmer. The
escape of these two families was most re-
markable, as the houses were blown from
the lower floors, leaving them exposed to
the elements. The name of the woman
who was killed was Mary Marvin. She
lived alone, and her body was found near
the ruins of the house she occupied, with
her skull split open and the body frozen.
At one place wagon was hurled with
such force against the foundation of a
house that it stove in portion of the stones
and passed into the cellar. The noise of
the cyclone was heard in Prairie du Chen
Rbove the din of the terrible storm which
ragged at the same time.
