A Sensational Marriage Abroad.

Helene de Rothschild, the strong headed
young woman who married in spite Of her
folks wishes, has begun to repent, and may
already be held up as horrible example to
insubordinate young women. She was very
rich, as her father had died when she vas
baby and had left her millions. She made
up her mind, although she was very stout,
that the Dutch Baron Zuylen loved her for
herself alone She defied her folks, drew
5000, 600 francs out of the bank for current
expenses, bought fine big house, and went
TO take up her abode at the house Of the
family DOCTOR and married the baron from
there 1t was grand and sensational, and
Paris admired it very much, though mothers
regretted the lad example.
Now, they are glad, for the Baroness
Zuylen and her husband, just back from
Spain, do not present the picture Of perfect
harmony with which they left the house of
the family physician. Helene, the very stout
young baroness, finds married life, especially
housekeeping a bore, and has adopted plan
for Kidding herself of worry that will strike
deep to the hearts Of the advocates of
women's rights. She has made the baron
housekeeper, and allows him $1,000 francs a
month to meet expenses. He can manage as
he likes but everything but her private ex-
penses must come out of the $1,000 francs,
including the wages of the cook and other
servants, the market bills, his own tailor
bills, etc. Paris, which enjoys such things
very much, spends much time celebrating
funny schedules OF Baron Zuylen's probable
expense account. The fun will not last long,
as the stout Baroness soon starts with her
husband and her millions for Nice. Paris

Buying Cigars in Russia.

To get a cigar anywhere in Russia you
must buy a whole box. IL frequently hap
pens, however, that the whole box contains
but one cigar Boxes are never broken, and
the purchaser can make examination of the
weed only through the glass cover You
cannot tell till you buy and are permitted to
break the seal just what the article is.
Every box of cigars or cigarettes has glass
lid or cover, and you can see the article you
purchase, but you cannot feel or smell it,
Generally when you ask for cigar large
box is handed to you. This has a cover Of
glass so large that you can see well what the
article is. When you have selected the
quality desired from a number of boxes laid
out for inspection, you make known how
many you desire, and the dealer-the "tohac
fabrickeT you a box containing the
exact number Thus boxes of one, two,
three, five, six, ETC., are made Of every quail
ity. Most of the cigars are very bad-the
domestic manufacture generally intolerable
and the price is high.
This mode of guarding against evaSions of
the high taxes on cigars has been followed a
long time. 1t grew out Of the proposition
laid down by Ivan the Terrible, Peter the
Great and other cars, who held that all Rus
slams were thieves and should be watched.

THE SABRIEGO CLAIM.
The United States Supreme Court
Decides in Favor of the
Mavericks.

The United States Supreme Court
Decides in Favor of the
Mavericks.
The SabrIego claims have been dis
posed of in the supreme court OF the
United States and the decision is in IA
Vor Of Mavericks.
The suit was to recover vast area of
property thst Includes all that territory
commencing at SappingtUn's boarding
house on Houston extending north
through Travis to and including st.
Marks cathedral, thence west to avenue
L. and thence coming south to Alamo
plaza forming part Of the site at the
federal court house tence on Houston
street to the front of DR., Herfl's resi-
dence. When the latter site was sold
the claimant received part of the pro-
ceeds 1t being understood that this
action was simply to give a clear and
undisputed title to the government
and should not in any way be taken as
an admission Of the Sabriego claims
The property In question was granted
by the Spanish government In 1892 to
LOsOya. In 1910 one of the many revo-
lutions occurred, and as Losoya took
part In 1t, his property was contiscated
and sold at auction. Capt. francisco
Garcia, a soldier in the kings army,
purchased the whole property for $50.
He left the state, married, had daugh-
ter, and no attention seems to have been
paid TO the matter until the Mavericks
we're found in possession. The daugh-
ter Of Garcia married SabriegO, and 8
few years ago suit for recovery OF the
property was filed by her In the local
FEDERAL court. Judge Turner decided
against her and then she appealed to
the supreme court with the result stated
ia the foregoing portion Of this article.

How a Brave Medina County Girl
Shielded Her Brother and
Faced the officers.
Mr.. Frank Frederick, who has just re-
turned from Castroville, gives the LIGHT
reporter little OF the latest sensation
that has conyulsed that tight little city.
Up to lsst week, German shepherd
was at work on the Callahan sneep
ranch, near Castrovills, but had q quar-
rel with his boss, who nearly beat him
TO death and be was left for dead. He
was found by friends, however, and az
ter recovering from hls injuries, he
made affidavit against Young Callahan,
and the acting sheriff, Gilberps, TWO
deputies rode out TO the ranch to serve
the warrant. When they arrived they
demanded Of the young mans sister to
call her brother. She said he was
not at home, but the officers knew bet
ter and attempted to pass her In the
doc. s ling shotgun at hand, the
intrepid girl st. cd the officers at bay
until her brother had time TO be of and
away on his horse. Seeing pursuit was
useless, the officers reported to their
chief, who then started after the girl. to
arrest her for aiding In an escape OF q
criminal. They could not find her, and
after several hours spent 10 searching
the surrounding hills, the sheriff and
posse found her and brought her to Cas-
troville last Sunday afternoon. She was
not put in jail, but was guarded at the
sherifi's house, until Monday morning,
when on a preliminary examination she
was admitted to bond In the sum OF $500,
which she readily gave with two Cas-
troville gentlemen as suretiee.

DesigD of the Cstacombs.

For long time false opinions were ell
tertained which have been dispelled by
modern research. The Catacombs were
supposed to be forsaken sand pits and
stone quarries, eXcavated by the heather
and occasionally used as receptaeles for
the corpses Of slaves and criminals But
it is now ascertained from the difference
of SOIL which is not at all adapted for
building material, and the mode of con-
struction, that they are of Christian
origin and were intended from the be-
ginning for burial places. Another error,
that they were places Of refuge from
heather persecution, has likewise been
abandoned. The immense labor required
for their construction could not possibly
have escaped the notice Of the Roman po-
lice; and the heather prosecutor, by
simply closing the access, could have
easily smothered the Christians by thou
sands If they had taken refuge In those
dark and narrow passages. In spite of
the knowledge gained on the subject
within the last twenty years, these errors
are still repeated in popular books. -
