a very intimate friend Of Miss Mary Gwendolin
Caldwell, has just received letter from the
young heiress, whose engagement to Prince

Caldwell writes to her friend that the formal
bethrothal has been indefinitely postponed on
account of an unwritten law OF the French and
Italian aristocracywhich requires the contract
ing parties to produce, ct their betrothal, the
baptismal certificates Of their parents and
do, as there is no record of her grandmother's
baptism, and a hitch in proceedings 10 the re-
suit. Miss Caldwell intimates that she would
not care at all ii the wedding should not take
place. Miss Caldwelrs friend thinks that il the
whole thing falls through it will not be the
fault of the bridegroom nor Of the laws of
aristocracy, but OF the fair fance herself This
is not the first time Miss Caldwell has promised
her hand in marriage aud has reconsidered her
action after the engagement had been made
public. She was engaged to an italian prince
about three years ago, and the match was con-
sidered the best to be made in Europe, but.
like several others before, it was broken of by
the young lady. Miss Caldwells first love was
young lawyer Of this city, but the engagement
was objected to. He has since married In q
former letter Miss Caldwell said: "You may be

DRAWING THE COLOR LINE,
A Negro Refused Admission to Balti-
more Medical College.

James Credit bright young colored man,
has been refused admission to the medical COL
leges of Baltimore and on Saturday left for
Long Island medical college where, there is no
race distinction. The deans of the Maryland
university and the Baltimore college of medi-
cine say that while the faculty were willing
that colored men should be permitted to enter
the profession the southern students, Of whom
there are nearly two hundred in the medical
schools there, would have left in a body.
Young Credit is a brother of Rev. William
Credit, q general missionary Of the American
Baptist society. He says that when his brother
first applied to the Baltimore college the
faculty said he would be admitted, but when
the session opened he was turned down, the
dean explaining that he had understood him to
be Spaniard.

Emerson's Grave.

AL last night Charles W. Prescott and George
W. Nealy paced back and forth about the grave
Of Ralph Waldo Emerson to protect it. Thas
the body was not taken in the attempt at grave
robbing Saturday night is indicated from the
size Of the hole made, but the purpose OF the
grave robber was undoubtedly to get the skull.
After digging down to the coffin the body
saatchers were frightened away probably BY Q
passing team. The selectmen offer Q reward
OF $500 TOR the arrest and conviction Of the
desecrators. Edward w. Emerson, SON OF
Ralph Waldo Emerson, and the town authors
ties examined the grave thoroughly. The
wooden box enclosing the casket had decaysd
somewhat, the interment having taken place
about eight years ago, and in the DIRT which
the rascals had thrown out were some pieces
of the box. One side Of the cssket had fallen
down little, but this is attributed 70 natural
decay. Otherwise the casket had not been dis
turbed or opened, and the report that Nj.

AN ODD MEETING.
The Circumstances of the Intro
duction of Mrs. Hayes and Mrs.

The circumstances of the Intro
Cleveland.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
At the time of the Centennial eere-
monies in New York Mrs. Hayes and
some friends occupied one box and Mrs.
Cleveland and friends another not far
distant. Col. Corbin, mutual friend,
after chatting a few minutes with Mrs.
Hayes, went into the box occupied by
the Cleveland party. Mrs. Cleveland
asked who the lady in the other box
was, and, on being Informed, declared
that she had long desired to meet her
predecessor in the White house-in
fact she said there was no lady in the
country she more desired to meet than
Mrs. Hayes.
Col. COrbin suggested that, as Mrs.
Cleveland was the younger lady and as
Mrs. Hayes ways only few steps away,
there would be no improperly in Mrs.
Cleveland calling on Mrs. Hayes. Mrs.
Cleveland conceded with the views of
the colonel, and, taking his arm, was
soon in Mrs. Hayes box. She was in
troduced in the midst of considerable
confusion, but met with very cordial
reception. After pleasant chat with
Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Cleveland was escorted
to her own box and Col. COrbin returned
to the Hayes box.
Mrs. Hayes expressed her gratifica-
ton at meeting so charming lady, but
asked: "Who is she? l did not hear
the name, but think have never met
any one who impressed me more pleas
antly." The colonel was so taken by
surprise that he stood at attention for
nearly ten seconds. Then he explained
that the lady was Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs.
Hayes was then as much surprised as
the colonel had been, and after express
ing her chagrin she proceeded to say
that if there was one woman in the cOun-
try that she wanted to meet more than
any other. that woman was Mrs. Cleve-
land.
The colonel saw that advance was
better than retreat, and he submitted
his report to the effect that while the
case was not covered by the articles Of
war or the army regulations, he felt
that he would not exceed the limitations
of soldierly duty if he volunteered to
escort Mrs. Hayes to Mrs. Cleveland's
box. Mrs. Hayes approved the report.
and on reaching Mrs. Cleveland's box
made explanations in such way as to
completely win the heart of her sue
cessOr in the White house.

and patients for instruction and treat
ment in the science of mind-healing. A
tall, graceful figure, fashionably attired
in a directoire robe, strong, handsome
face, with dark, expressive eyes and
crown of hair framing it in curls that
showed just the faintest lines of silver
among them, she scarcely looks like
one calculated to dispute, with meta
physicians and to split hairs with the
ologians. Yet Mrs. Lathrop, a highly
educated Western woman and a crack
mathematician. is not only a charming
conversationalist, but keen and able
disputant as we'll. She is perfect type
of the advanced AmeIi IAN. She bears
a striking resemblance TO Trebelli, the
famous opera singer, and is every inch

pronounce an incarnation for the eXor

The Oldest Pair of Twins
ne Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Samuel and John Wise, who are be-
Iieved to be the Oldest pair of twins in
the United States, if not in the world,
reached their eighty-first birthday yes
terdav. Both learned the undertaking
and cabinet making business,
and from 1918 to 1868 carried
on that business at Main
street and East Washington lane, Ger
mantown. The site has been used con-
tinuouSly for that purpose since 1869.
The two brothers resemble each other
very closely, and even their relatives
have got "Uncle Sammy and ''Uncle
John" badly mixed up. Both are
widowers, both were twice mar
ried. both have the same number of
descendants and both are very deaf.
Their physical health is good, and they
are two as jolly old gentlemen as one
will meet in a days ride in stage
coach. 1t has only been within few
years that they have shown any signs
of mutual decay. Neither of them ever
used tobacco or any strong Stimulants.
Many friends called to congratulate
them yesterday.

A Canine Birthday Party.

New York World.
Not long ago Mrs. Eugene Clark, of
West Twenty eighth street, whose dogs
have never entered kennel club exhi-
ton without capturing a desirable prize
gave a canine party that will serve as a
model for some months to come. The
host, most sagacious little animal,
born in the far away Japanese empire,
was assisted in receiving his canine
friends by an elder COUSIN, also from
the Orient. One lay in a black walnut
bedstead, dressed in white lace coun-
terpane spread over rose-colored satin,
and the hOnored dog stood at the en-
trance of real glass house lined with
blue silk cushions. Each guest on ar
irving entered the drawing room carry
ing his birthday present, which he laid
before the delighted host, who in turn
made himself agreeable by salutlng the
donor and removing the gift to corner
reserved for that purpose.
What were the tributes? Everything
that the heart Of well-bred dog could
desire-but juicy bones. There were
collars in leather, silver and worsted
work, hung with little silver bells and
bright ribbons: brides of steel, bronze
and sterling silver; blankets embroid-
cred in Kensington patterns; she'll
combs and ivory brushes; imported
SOAPS: porcelain bath-tubs: balls by
the dozen: drinking bowls of decorated
china; feeding pans of German plate;
games. with rats attached; fancy pill
lows; sleeping and travelling baskets,
lined with quilted silk, and last of all,
bouquets of tea-roses. which the honored
Kiot to devoured on the spot. After the
reception the dogs were taken to the
dining room, seated about the table On
stools and RECALLED on bread and milk.
For dessert there were soft cream can
dies, ice cream and cake. The favors
were taken from game and con-
sisted of Japanese balls wrapped in
paper napkins.

in whose honor the party was given,
came from the private kennels of the
Mikado, and Kioto, his foster brother,
has pedigree that ranks him in the
first row of aristocratic dogdom. Mrs.
Clark is proud of her pets and keeps
them in fresh ribbons and musical
bells, and sends them out for their con-
stitutionaIs with their bride rein made
of linked silver.
