Battenberg Banished.

Queen Victoria has determined to go
abroad for a month because of her poor
health, which is aggravated by the dis
agreeable developments arising out of
Princess Beatrice's marriage to Prince
Henry of Battenberg. This union was
bitterly opposed by the Prince of Wales.
1t now turns out that Battenberg's mar
rage to the Princess Beatrice was
brought about by marriage broker in
high life. He was handsome and poor.
He placed himself in the hands of de-
signing Russian lady who offered him
to several heires>es without success.
One of these was Miss Winnifretti
Singer, daughter of the millionaire sew
ing machine manufacturer and now
Princess of Scey.
He was then piloted to London, and
Princess Beatrice fell in love with him.
Their engagement and marriage fol-
lowed. Since this successful intrigue
the Russian lady has been blackmailing
Battenberg TOR all the Prince could
squeeze out of the Princess allowance
as the price o. her silence concerning
his unenviable method Of wooing.
Battenberg endured it for long time
and demurred. Then the Russian lady
forwarded to Lord Chamberlain Latham
q mass of letters exposing Battenberg' s
real character. These were given to
the Queen, and have greatly annoyed
her. Battenberg was at once sent
abroad, and as he has been gone for
two months it is believed that he has
been practically banished.

Almost the Last of the Race.
From the New York Star.

From the New York Star
The last even distant relative of Aaron
Burr is dead. He was halter. He
was born in Western New York as long
ago as 1910, and came to the metropolis
to learn the hatter's trade. He patent.
ed q hat machine about 1852. Up to
that time hat bodies had been made by
hand. Burr's machine so revolution
lied the business that in 1856 5000, 600
hats were made upon his machine. For
many years he virtually had monopo-
ly OF the hat trade, and when his patent
expired in 1872, he had amassed great
fortune. At the breaking out of the
war he practically organized the famous
Ellsworth Zouaves, and contributed lib
orally to our early military establish
ment. He was in many respects sing
ular man, buta pushing, energetic citi-
zen. He was an active director in
many large institutions in New York.
His father was Aaron Burr's first cous-
in, and his grandmother sister of JON
athan Edwards. He sprang from that
large Burr family that once lived near
Cooperstown. Now that he is dead, it
will be exceedingly hard to find anoth-
er man bearing he name OF Burr who
is even remotely connected with the i'll
fated but brilliant man who was once
such power in political and social life.
