ANOTHER PROSPECTIVE TITLE.


a marriage settlement is not frs
exacted from the parents of the pro
spective bride as consideration o
becoming invested with a title. A
Berlin cable to the New York Her
aid says: The example set by
Prince Halsfeldt will find many i'm
itators there. In no capital in Ell
rope is the beauty of the American
women 30 keenly appreciated as in
Berlin. If to this attraction be add
ed wealth, so much the better, but
the fact that in the next marriage
to take place, between a Prussian
noble and an American heiress
money is a secondary considera.
ton, will be hailed with delight on
the other side of the Atlantic. 1t
is certainly love match, for well
off in the worlds goods as the young
lady is, her future husband is even
better provided for. The parties
are Count Klcist Won Loss and Miss
Elizabeth Thompson, daughter OF
Mr.. Thompson, of the Standard Oil
Company and ex-mayor Of Detroit,
Michigan, where he married Miss
Brush, of an old, honorable, and
wealthy American family. The
count, who is twenty-six years of
age, and one of the handsomest
young men in the city, which swarms
with good looking young officers,
Is, as matter Of course, in the ar
my, and might have been seen rid
ing with the staff during the recent
great reviews given in honor to the
Kaiser's Imperial guest in the uni
form of his regiment, the Twelfth
Thurman Hussars, to which he is
attached as lieutenant of reserves.
He is an inheritor, by right of pri-
mogeniture, of three large estates
situated in three different states Of
the empire.
The young couple---the bride is
only nineteen-met in Dresden
where, as in Berlin, her exquisite
fragile blonde beauty attracted uni
rersal attention. 1t is said that
Mr.. Thompson, the young lady's
father, insisted as a condition to his
allowing his daughter to become en-
gagged, that Count Kleist should
enter the government service, and
it is rumored that he will soon hold
L diplomatic post, as he has no lack
Of political influence, five members
of his family being members of
either the reichstag or of the Prus-
sian house of lords. 1t cannot be
doubted that a brilliant career is
there awaiting him. The marriage
ia to take place in the spring Mr..
Thompson and his family sailed
for home on the Umbria on the 9th,
and the count CALAMITY accompa-
MED the party as far as Queenstown.
A CONSCIENTIOUS CONFIDENT.
A late New York dispatch says,
that Seigfried H. May, a wholesale
liquor dealer, surrendered to the
police one day last week, stating
that he was the man who stabbed
Martin Flynn in the eye On upper
Broadway the latter part of Octo-
Der, with an umbrella, inflicting
fatal wound. Flynn assaulted him
and he used the umbrella in self
defense. A Major Joseph Stewart,
late of Texas, who had fight with
a stranger who insulted his wife the
same night that May used his UNI
brella, and about the same locality,
came to police headquarters the
same day and also surrendered him
self. He believed he was the cause
of Flynn's death. At all events. the
fact of killing is pretty well sub
stantiated by the voluntary surren-
der OF the two actors.
ANOTHER PIoUs swINDLER.
A San Francisco dispatch saws.
that Charles Montgomery, owner of
the American Exchange Hotel. and
widely known on account of his
charitable work, has made a state
ment showing that he has been
made a victim of a confidence op-
orator to the extent of $4,000.
Two years ago, young man
calling himself E. Gleneross Grant,
came here and soon became prom
inent in Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION work. He gained Mont
gomery's conhdence and after time
the latter took him into partnership
IN an agricultural implement com |
pany with stores in this CITY and
Los Angeles. Grant had complete
charge of the Los Angeles end,
Montgomery furnishing all tie cap
ltal. Grant has suddenly disap-
peared and Montgomery learns he
has contracted debts and appropri-
ated money aggregating $4,000
montgomery has been compelled to
make an assignment with liabilities
10000, and assets about three
hundred and eighteen thousand
dollars. 1t has been discovered that
Grant is an expert swindler, who
was compelled to flee from London
Tor a similar offense."
NOT A HOPELESS CASE.
