ENGAGEMENT BROKEN orr.
Mr.. Huntington Refuses to Pay Prince
Hatzfcldts Debts.

Paris Cable to the New York world.l
Tue projected match between Prince
Halfcldt and the adopted daughter of
Mr. 7. Huntinston has been dsilllilalx.
ton Of the matter, the Pacific railroad
mngnate has concluded he will not pay
the princes enormous debts, which,
he believes, should be settled by the
princes father and mother, who
are perfectly able TO do SO If they
wished Mr.. Huntington declared to
the prince that he would only allow his
adopted daughter Clara, a modest in-
come. to be paid quarterly, and added
that 1t would be stopped altogether II
there were any attempt made to discount
its payment IN advance. Prince Hatz-
ieldt indignantly refuses to accept any
such terms and is very angry.
The glst of the comment in American
circles at Paris is TO the effect that Mr..
Huntington has given evidence of much
good sense by his decision. Ii is ASSERT
cd that he learned during his trip
through Germany that Prince HatZfeldt
was not an honorable man, and that
there were several very unsavory reasons
why he could not live in his native
country. On learning Mr.. Huntington's
intentions, the princes ardor us lover
and tancc underwent u considerable
and altogether refreshing modification,
and, indeed, the only person whose feel
ings of affection have suffered no change
is Miss Huntington herself, who is still
exceedingly anxious to acquire the
princes badly tarnished coronet and
heart. However, she will have no lack
of sutors while here. With Prince
Hatzteldt barred, the horde of other i'm.
pecunious bearers of foreign titles will
lind fair field.
A report " the engagement of Miss
Clara Huntington to Prince Francis OF
Hatzfeldt- Wildenburg was telegraphed
exclusively TO tho World OH August TO-
Miss huntington was at the time ut
Aix-les- Bains with Mrs. John Sherwood,
with whom she had been travelling
about in Spain. She had met Prince
Hatzfeldt at the house of ex.Mlinistcr
Mcl.ane at Paris, and he had followed
her to AK. Tho prince was born in 1859,
and has figured prominently in sew
eral gambling scandals of II most unsav-
ory nature. One of these, which oc-
Cured a couple of years ago, made much
noise ut the time and led to the PRINCES
temporary eclipse. No longer either in
the diplomatic or military services, to
both OF which he formerly belonged he
is the black sheep of a family which is
famous on the continent for the number
OF its divorces and scandals. His debts
are asserted to amount to over million

Colonel William U. B. Goodwin was
murdered last Friday by Charles Pendle-
ton, his son-in-law. The victims left
leg was shattered by a charge of buckshot
and lie died while ii was being ampu-
tated. Pendlcton murdered a negro la
borer some years ago and served iivc
years In state prison. He was cast oil by
his family and friends, and Goodwin
took pity ON him and gave him employ
ment. Pendlcton eloped with his enl-
ployer's daughter, and after few
months of poverty the generous old
father torgave them and took them home
to live In the Goodwin mansion. Two
children were born to the young couple.
Pendleton's temper was ungovernable,
and he frequently quarreled with his
wife and her father. Friday night he
annoyed the old gentleman and he re.
monstrated. Mrs. Pendleton released
the dogs and her husband turned on her
with q torrent of abuse. AT last he
struck her, and Colonel Goodwin, who
was Ill In bed, arose and interfered. He
struck Pendleton with a stick of fire.

A struggle for its possession ensued, in
which Mrs. Pendleton aided her father,
and tho gun was discharged without
harming anyone. Pcndleton was or

with o loaded shotgun which had been
standing on the porch. He was elected

fore he died, told the story, and said:

daughter to give me the bar to put

The biggest RATHER of All.

from the Pittsburg Co numerical Gazette. /
l.. II. Britton and John Murray of
New Lisbon, o., yesterday brought to
that place from CarroltOn monster
rattlesnake. Examination of natural
histories fails to show any record of his
equal in size, the greatest length al
lowed his species ranging from seven to
eight feet. This one Is over nine feet. lie
is fifteen inches in circumference and has
twelve rattlcrs at present, some having
been broken off. He is diamond
rattler, a species confined to the At
lantic coast from Florida to North
Carolina and the largest of all rattlers.
The snake was captured in Florida by
two negroes, who make business of
killing them for their hides. On account
of his great size they took this alive.
They performed the rather delicate op-
eration by placing trap over hole In
the sand into which they had seen him
crawl after turtle. He was shipped
north as n present to Bird Kripcr of
Carrolton, who soon found himself with
the biggest kind OF white elephant on
his hands, and sold him TO parties in tins
place. His snakeship Is as lively rs "a
cricket, although he has eaten hardly
anything since his captivity.

What the Chinese Cannot Understand.
fFrnin the Pail Mall Gnzeitel

From somc extracts of letter pub
lished in the Presbyterian Messenger, We
learn that the first major surgical opera
tion performed In Changpu by the Pres
byterian missionary was in many ways
q remarkable one. One evening beg
gar with dreadful leg, and in all but u
dying condition, was laid by some Of his
friends Mt the door of DR..
Howe's house, and left there. The
doctor had the patient at once carried TO
an empty house belonging to one Of our
church members, and there on the NOR
row, in the presence of u large and won
dcring crowd, amputated the limb be-
low the knee. To the surprise of all,
the man stood tho operation we'll, and
and has since greatly improved in gem
eral condition. That the foreign doctor
should pay so much attention 10 and
spend so much time and trouble on u
beggar seems TO have astonished the Chi
nese. They cannot understand how any
one should give himself so much trouble
without icing paid for il. | heard one
say, as he was watching the doctor do
ing his work: well, the Chinaman
would not do such things" 1t came to
our ears that number of the shop
keepers in the town are not at all pleased
that the mans life has been saved.
They hoped he would die, for he has
been q source of great annoyance to
them. He used to go to their shops and
expose his sickening sore, and refuse to
10 away until they gave him what he
denanded--viz. 400 cash from the
largest shops, down to 80 cnsh from the
smaller ones. There is every probability
OF his recovery.

Death Closed the Book.
FROM the Chicago Herald. ]

The great hearted libcrality Of poor
Frank Blnin of the Inter Ocean, who
died recently at his home in Hyde Park,
was demonstrated In final request
which he made. During his newspaper
career he wrote great deal about poll
tics and politicians, and he kept u close
watch on the records of men IN political
life. In his desk he kept a huge scrap
book in which he pasted clippings from
papers published all over the country.
Just before he died, and when he
know that he must go, he called his law
yer TO his, bedside and said; Some
where ut the Office you will find big
scrap-book belonging 10 me. 1t con-
tains all the unkind things have read
about politicians. l wanted their worst
records nt hand for reference in my
work Now when you find that book
want yon TO destroy 1t. don't want
such book to live after me. 1t might
hurt some one" After Blain's death
the request wns faithfully carried out.
The big book was found and consigned
to the furnace In accordance with his
wish.

Pokcr Clubs for women.
Washington Letter to Louisville Courier
Inurnat

Journal
The fascinating game Of draw poker
will be more popular this winter in
Washington among the fashionable
women than ever before. Several new
poker clubs will be organized. The
ladies play for bonbons, gloves, etc., /,
and very often for cash. The games are,
as rule, for small limit, but they get
as much enjoyment out Of them MS If
thousands changed hands. The
wife of one of the senators was much
worried because her husband lost SO
much at poker, and determined that, if
he must play and must lose, he should
play with her, and she would benefit by
his losing. She learned the game thor
oughly, surrounded her table with good
players, and handsome lot In the
Northwestern part of the town is tho re-
suit of her venture, and she is still win
ning-probably play ing with all idea of
putting a house on her lot.

Briefly, then, the copper mines of

Our copper mines in California failed to
keep their generous promises; even the

And this applies to copper mines, silver

mines, indeed in Montana.
