VIENNA, Feb. S,-Tho King and
Queen Of Belgium prayed for a long
time this morning beside the bier OF
the dead Crown Prince, Aiterward
their Maiesties received visit from
the Emperor and Empress and several
members Of the Imperial Family. There
are many different stories aaoat con.
cerninG the manner OF the Crown
Princes death, All agree that he either
committed suicide or was murdered.
One does not know which to helleye.
Among the stories published is the fol.
lowing;
WAS 1T a DUEL?
1t Is claimed that recently, while on a
shooting excursion on the estate Of tho
lady's mother-in.law, Count Clam,Gal-
las surprised his wife in compromising
situation with the. Grown Prince. The
Count at once challenged the Crown
Prince Rudolph, and the latter asked
for time in which to consider II. Atthe
expiration OF the time, which occurred
last Tuesday, he declared that, in ac.
CordanCo with tho unwritten rules OF all
affairs Of honor in Austria, he would
avail himself OF the privilege Of declin-
ing the challenge, hut he would give sat.
isiactlon. Subsequently the Prince
changed his mind, and the duel occurred
as stated.
The whole affair has been largely sup
pressed by the Austrian court, but 1t has
leaked out through some aristoCrats who
were compromised In the affair and had
TO leave the country. The Emperor,
who knew OF the whole affair, has, 1t is
said, fully approved his sons behavior.

Rudolf was the eminent fnancier and

became aware OF what the gay world Of
Vienna had long discussed, the relations
existing between the Prince, and Nine.
Kuranda. The injured husband re-
signed all the offices to which he had
attained, as he supposed, by reason OF
his ability, but which were really due to
the secret influence OF the Prince. He
then proceeded 10 avengo his honor.

'Y es, indeed; some people prefer a
very stiff one and others those more
flexible Brushes are high priced not
only because of the cost of tirst-ciass
bristles, but also because they have to
be made by hand The Russian bristles
come in sorted bundles, which weigh
from one to five pounds apiece They
are then packed into hogsheads,
which, when filed, weigh about 600
pounds. The first process through
which they are put when received at
the factory is the combing process. A
comb is firmly fastened TO bench, and
the comber draws the bristleS, a hand
full at time. over it, thus separating
the long from the short. Another
com bing follows after the bristies
have been washed, and the best
bleached. The longest bristles are.
about seven inches in length and are
used largely in the making of paint
brushes. The wooden portion of
shoe brush is shaped and bored full of
holes by machinery. Into each hole is
then passed the doubled over ends of
the bristfes and a wire is passed
through the loop. This wire is con-
tinuous and is passed around until all
the bristles are firmly secured The
holes are then stopped with cement
and piece of polished veneer of the
right shape is glued on TO the back.
Sometimes the ends OF the bristles are
evened off one row at a time, but
usually the rough ends are passed
over revolving knife, which clips
them down to an even surface. The
brushes are then vanished, and when
dry are ready for the market Re-
Gently there have been invented many
new kinds Of daubers with galvanized
frames, iron frames and handles.
The bristles are held in place in such
by compression and cement Many of
these daubers have sharp iron point
at the side by which the dry mud may
be scraped from the shoe. brooklyn

good living. By the way, although
