ROBERT NJ CHERRIE, a heavy Chicago
iron merchant. has assigned. Liablli-
ties. about $3.50. 600; assets valued at

NEAR Rockford, H.. several hogs be-
longing to William Eddy, John Bailey,
Christopher Carney and George Bailey
are dying with hydrophobia. The
swine were bitten by rabid dog, and
the bites are proving fatal.
Mr.. DAVIES, assignee of the firm of
Grant & Ward. filed an inventory at
New York Monday, showing nominal
assets Of S21, 1910, 098; actual assets, S67.-
IA. and liabilities of $16692 G4i. 1t has
been impossible TO determine the
owners Of the securities in the hands Of
the firm at the time Of the failure, the
firm never having kept a cash book or
journal. and a balance sheet was never
taken. Securities which have been re
ceived for loans were rchypothecated
orlarger amounts than originally loaned
on them: and all claims for these
securities are contested. The IN oney
received by the firm for investment in
alleged government contracts the
assignee declares to have oten borrowed
at usurious rates and upon fraudulent
representations.

A MILWAUKEE dispatch of the 10Th

Ben. b. Well, the real estate man, to-
day. and, taking out box containing
$1,000 worth of diamonds, asked for a
loan Of So, 900 on them. We'll turned
the man over to the police. The officials
believe he is notorious diamond thief.
When searched $1,000 worth Of dia-
mouds, in addition to these alluded TO,
were found concealed about his person.
The prisoner claims he is a traveller for
New York diamond firm Thus far
he has failed to identify himself. He
will not tal6 or give his name. Some
think me diamonds are the ones stolen
in Chicago some time ago.

representative having developed a
fancy for Unser Fritz" second daugh-
ter, the Princess Victoria. Prince
Macmillan of Thurn and Taxis be-
came of age only last summer and
his extended visit at the German cap
ltal is said to have but one interpreta-
tion-that he is an ardent wooer 1t
is yet to be seen, however, if he is
willing that his descendants shall be
come Protestants, for it is quite GER
tain that the kaiser will impose that
condition before consenting TO the
nuptials. Whatever may be causing
the delay, so far as deciding the future
of the young pair is concerned, it is
clearly evident that the young prince
has reason to hope, or he would have
left the city some time before. He
owns vast estates in Bohemia, south
ern Germany, and Belgium, and also
great possessions in Silesia, that were
given his family by Prussia at the
Vienna congress as payment for dis
continuing the mail routes belonging
to them. A correspondent writes
from southern Germany that the
young princes business N Berlin is
creating great dissatisfaction. as the
Thurn and Taxis family is Roman
Catholic, the mother of the young
prince being a Bavarian princess, and
and the people know that this pro
posed marriage may result in making
the family Protestant
The prince of Bulgaria is also sup
posed to be sutton for the princess
hand. During his very recent visit
ne was given a state dinner by the
crown prince and princess at their
summer residence, the "New palace, y
in Potsdam, and it has been rumored
that the betrothal of the prince with
Princess Victoria was then an
nounced. An enterprising picture
dealer in FREDERICK strasse who al
ways announces the latest bit of news
by the manner in which he groups
the photographs in his window. inn
mediately placed pictures of the Prin-
cess Victoria and the prince of Bull
garia side by side. This caused so
much comment that the semi-ofhcial
North German Gazette came out with
an emphatic denial of the rumored
betrothal. This is no doubt right; at
least Prince Macmillan acts as If it
were true. The imperial family is by
degrees reconciling all the petty
princes whom the Hohenzollerns,
have deprived of their former power
Schleswig Holstein was appeased
when Prince Wilhelm led to the altar
the Princess Augusta Victoria of the
once reigning house. Now the long
talked-of engagement between the
emperor's grandson, the hereditary
prince of Baden, and the Princess
IIilda of Nassau is about to be formal
ly arranged, which is expected to rec
oncile the house of Nassau and the
Prussian royal family.-Berlin Cor

THE increase in the ravages of the
cholera in the Mediterranean cities of
France Las alarmed the officials in
Paris, and is creating se.Ious appre-
tensions throughout Europe. How
he contagion- originating in the
malaria of the jungles which fringe
the swarn1ing popuIous centers of the
East indies reaches the west and
putriies its wholesome airs is a mys-
terry which science has not explained.
The pestilence may be transported as
contraband freight along the channels
of Oriental commerce, or it may be
waited ON the Euroclydop from its
sources in ASIA to its destination in
Europe. But the track which it fol
lows ON its ghostly travels is umex-
plored, and it leaves no footprints of
its progress. There is as much en-
piricism as science in the methods
adopted for its prevention and in the
treatment to which IFS victims are
subjected.
The most vivid description of the
progress of the cholera to be found in
amy literature occurs IN one Of the
early chapters of "The WanderiNg

writer of FreAch romance. ltsstealthy

Speaking OF the blessings of sam
mer holidays, the Providence Journal
says From these golden days Of
rest we must exclude those spent by
the slaves of fashion in their eXpens-
sive resorts. There are many who fly
from the crowded cities only to
double elsewhere their follies and
vices They never withdraw from
their Jewels and display Of styles to
be for a season the simple children of
the air and light; they never draw
near to the dear, blessed earth, but
go where they may take with Their
bondage, and exist, and sigh, and
languish and die without having seen
any world except that made by the
architect and milliner.
