PRINCE MURAT.
Sketch of the Man who will Marry Miss
Caldwell.

Prince Joachim Napoleon Murat, who is to
marry Miss Gwendoline Caldwell, is also the
possessor of the titles of prince of Cleves and
prince of Berg, and is the grandson of Murat.
king of Naples, and of Queen Caroline, the Sis
ter of Napoleon I. His father spent many
years in exile at Bordentown, N. j., with his
uncle, Joseph Bonaparte, ex-king of Spain,
and while in this country contracted marriage
with Miss Caroline Fraser. who for several
years maintained her princely husband with
her earnings as school teacher. Prince Joachim.
was born in 1884 in New Jersey, and aecompa-
MED his parents on their return to France in
iS49, when Louis Bonaparte. subsequently EN-
peror Napoleon, was elected as president Of the
French republic.
Prince Joachim. who was a great favorite at
the gay court of the Tuileries was SUCCESSFULLY
appointed captain. major and colonel of the
hussars of the guard. and distinguished himself
on several occasions in Algeria. On the eve of
the war, July A. 1870 he received his appoint
ment as general, of which. however, he was de-
prlved three years ago, at the same time when
the names Of the Compile de Paris. the Dukes
OF Aumale. Nemours Charities. Alencon. Prince
jerome Napoleon and of the Prince de Join
vile were struck off the army list.
In 1854 be was married at the Tuileries to
Princess Malcy, daughter Of the duke and
prince ofWagram, by whom he had three chill
dren. a son and two daughters, all of whom are
married. The Princess Malcy died five wears
ago. Prince Joachim is well-known sports
man. a member of the leading Partisan clubs
and the possessor of a very handsome estate
and chateau at Grosbois. He has the reputl
ton of being terrible spendthrift. His debts
were frequently paid by Napoleon Ill, and it is
probable that he has extracted from his en-
tailed property every cent that could be OBJ
tanned therefrcm by means of mortgage.
One of his sisters is Princess Anna. Ouch ess
OF Mouchy. the wife Of the heir to the ancien,
dukedom of Noailles. The Murat family are
now engaged IN lawsuit against the italian
government for the recovery of sum of Sl0.-

fortune of King Joachim Murat Of Naples Miss

than her intended husband

Gen. Grants Matrimonial Deyotion.

1t is doubtful whether any chronicle or
romance Of the days Of chivalry contains so
touching an instance OF matrimonial devotion
as that lately told Of Gen. Grant, says the New
York Graphic. When the honors came upon the
Grants, like sorrows to the house Of Denmark,
mot single spies, but in battalions," the mis-
tress OF the White House began to renew the
dream OF her girlhood-to have her cross-eyes
strengthened. Wishing to surprise the Presi-
dent Mrs. Grant, telling nobody, sent for the
most eminent oculist in America. He willingly
promised to undertake the operation, which he
assured her would be easy to accomplish aud
without danger. The good lady could not con-
tain herself for Joy, and, womanlike lam I
right, mesdames?), gave way when she saw
her husband and confded to him her secret
the pleasure she had in store for him. He
looked wistfully into those dear eyes which
had held him with tender gaze through all the
trials Of checkered career, and said in his
simple way, Julia, wish you would not change
them. love them as they are, and they might
seem strange il altered" Nor LaunceIot, nor
Romeo, nor lover Of any cline or age ever spoke
words Of tenderer gallantry than those OF the
hero Of Appomattox.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.


An Atlantic City special to the Philadelphia
Inquirer says: The sensation Of the season ID
the arrest in Philadelphia this afternoon Of W..
0. Blood, jr., who Is the son Of . Baltimore
and Ohio official, and who himself worked with
his father in the oath and Chestnut street Office
of that company. The charge against him was
forgery. Detectives have watched for him for
several days and he was at last caught in the
city this afternoon. He had married pretty
Anna McManamin, the daughter Of the former
city commissioner who for years figured in
democratic politics. The ceremony was per-
formed on May 2 in Camden, and was brought
to the attention of the parents Immediately.
Following the wedding the bride was taken
i'll and went to her room in the handsome Phil
adelphia house of her parents, at 1881 North
18th street. There she was tenderly cared for,
but she did not seem to improve and she was
brought to Atlantic City. She came to a neat
little Queen Anne cottage on Virginia avenue,
not far from the swish of the sea.
1t had been case something like that Of
Romeo and Juliet. with the poison left out
Blood was scarcely twenty-one. She had just
passed her teens. Her father was suspicious of
the character of the young man. and the other
day pocketbook was found which, like 1.-THE
lost diamond" finally led to the discovery of
his criminality.
1t was in the custody Of Mayor Hoffman, who
is always careful to investigate these things
One OF his trusted officers had got it. and the
mayor showed 1t to two newspaper correspond
ents who followed up the case. The pocket
book was filled with pawn tickets. There was
one for diamond ladies' pin, another for q
diamond ring and other articles of jewelry of
value and sealskIn sacque. There was also
check on Phenixville bank and a notice of
the date a promissory note was due.
They were kept in secret for time in the
belief that pickpocket had thrown the book
away. Then one of the newspaper correspond
ents sifted the affair and found that Blood was
the man who had gone off with pretty Anna
and that he had done even more than this. He
had even forged a check of $500 on his father
in-law, the ex-city commissioner.
There was then choice between the Young
man Blood living with the daughter Of Mr..
McMenamin or returning to her parents. She
chose to remain with her usband and she did
so until she found that her irate father meant
to arrest the man who had not only robbed him
OF his daughter, but of his good name ON
check: The arrest followed this afternoon in
and every effort has been made to
suppress it here and probably in the big city
too.

be above suspicion. The syndicate, if its pro-

Borough Onlcials In the Conemaugh
Valley to Assume Charge.

A meeting of the burgesses Of the different
boroughs in the Conemaugh Valley was held
at Capt. Hamiltons headquarters last evening
and arrangements perfected to have the
borough officials resume their functions
throughout the district. Judge Cummin
recommends. however, that the three
companies of the fourteenth regiment re-
main here to act IN conjunction
with the civil authorities. As the boroughs
Will not have the money to pay for the proper
police protection it is expected that the state
will assume the expense of paying the regular
police force as we'll as the additional police
that will be employed.
Adjusters of the fire insurance companies have
been at Johnstown for some days investigating
the condition OF property on which they carried
insurance here. They have been very generous
in their methods, and are returning the full
increased premium on all policies where the
property has been swept away. On the Hurl-
burt house alone over 200 unearned premiums
were returned, although the house was entirely
demolished, and the companies could not have
been held for anything

ETHICS OF SUMMER RESORTS.
How Shall the City Stranger be Well
coined and Made Happy?

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Persons who contemplate spending the sum-
mer out of town, either in hotel or boarding
house, will probably agree that their pleasure
will depend just as much ON agreeable associa-
ton as on the natural advantages Of the locality
they have decided to visit Everyone has ex-
perienced the loneliness which q stranger feels
among large circle Of people. Especially is
this the case in the country, where the atmos-
phere is conducive to that moodiness which,
amid the activities of city life, has little or no
opportunity to exert its sway. The city youth
who in glad anticipation packs his valise for
his summer outing may well stand aghast at
the cold reception which he only too fire.
quently receives on makinghi appearance at
the rural retreat. He is on the outskirts of
pleasant social life, but there is no one to well
come him, and. however attractive the walks
and drives may be, he certainly does not feel
that he is in his element.
The heart. distressing asks If this be Joy
And when echo emphatically answers mo-
the young man begins to realize that he is
gnawing the husks which circumstance has
flung Ito mock his craving need"
Unquestionably there is an etiquette Of the
summer resorts, just as there is Of the city
drawing-rOom. 1t ia a vast problem of sociOl-
ogy, and deserves the attention of those, at
least, whose time is ordinarily occupied either
in discussing the prohibition question or devils
ing the most available methods Of extending
assistance to the heather in Borrioboola- Cha
Those who are really able to believe in the
saving grace OF the summer resort may find a
certain amount of pleasure in discussing con-
ditions such as we have suggested. How is the
literary boarder to be distinguished from the
one whose tastes are purely philanthropic, and
in what way is the ice to be broken and con-
genial compaDionship established? The dry
goods clerk, We take it, is not anxious to be
thrown into the company of those Of an artis-
tic turn Of mind, who talk Of nothing but
'color" and .'tone;" and the artist,
on the other hand, cannot be supposed
to be very much interested in the
price Of calico and the latest shade OF ribbons
Surely, there must be some way out of the di-
iemma, and if so, what is it? Perhaps it would
be well for the boarding house keepers them
selves to take the matter in hand. They might
include in their advertisements description
OF the class of people who commonly frequent
their establishments, and incidentally might
advise the young ladies not to forget thei-
hammocks. The subject is suggestive Of an
infinite variety of speculations. But at the
root of it all is the fact that little of the stiff
ness and formality of the metropolitan drawing
room may appropriately be cast aside when We
get into the country; and furthermore it should
be remembered that nothing is ever lost by ex-
tending the kindly hand of welcome to those
who are longing for it.

From the Boston Home Journal
He bore his new honor with apparent indif-

ing to take off his beloved trousers at night
When he had yielded to persuasion, and was
snugly tucked in bed, he looked up to say with
emphasis: Mamma, please put away those
skirts, and never let me see them againI''
Another lad who was but little over four
years old when mamma began to talk about
laying aside his skirts. was taken i'll within a
fortnight of his new dignity. One day he was
unusually restless. and the nurse was moving
about the bed, exerting all her skill to ease his
condition.

The child raised his eyes to her face. smiled,
and whispered in a faint voice. she tails me
