A PRINCES PENCHANT
For an Obnoxious Noble Causes Great
Trouble in Austria.


LONDON. October 5.-Thc Prince Of
Wales left England to-day TO visit Baron
IIirsch, in spite Of all the efforts that
have been made to prevent his putting
the Austrian Court in an awkward po-
Sition by accepting hospitaliticS within
the Austrian dOminiOnS Of an Austrian
whom his Sovereign does not receive.
Several well-knOwn members of English
society are now also on their way to
Moravia. 1t has been given out that
the Prince would really visit not
Baron Iirsch, but Count TaSSilO Fes-
tetics, one OF the most popular Of the
nobility in Hungary, who married the
sister of the Duke of Hamilton, the di-
yOrced wife Of Prince Monaco. So great
an annoyance is caused In the Austrian
Empire by the Princes intimacy with
Baron Hirsch that Count Festetics de-
MED, through his secretary. that the
Prince was to visit him. The hobby Of
Baron IIrSch is social recognition, and
he particularly wished TO be elected a
member Of one of the chief clubs OF
Paris. lie knew well enough he could
not get into the exclusive Union Club,
and he did not care about the
Jockey Club, 50 he tried the Pc
tite Circle. as it is generally called, Of
which the Prince de Sagan is President.
and most Of the members Of which be-
long to the nobility. In connection with
/ the story which has been in everyone :
mouth for the past week that Baron
Hirsch had purchased the house occu-
pied by the Petite Circle. it now APP
pears that the club, in its Spasm Of fear,
dcputed the Due de Chartres and the
/ Due de la Tremoille To go to Moravia
with the white flag TO treat for terms
witE the Baron. 80 il is, and the terri
bic modification Of the alternative may
be appreciated when it Is considered
that Of the balls east when his name was
balloted on nine were black and the re-
naming two were put in by the gentle
men who proposed him.
The change of front on the part of
/ the club was polite action i'm face ol
the Baron'S brilliant coup de force in
/ buying the house over its head, and the
members are shaking in their pointed
polished shoes under the impression
that as soon aS the lease is up they will
be turned out of doors by the man they
/ black ballcd if the two Dukes whom
they have hurried off to Moravia do not
succeed in their mission. Now Spccua-
tion is rife as to whether, after all. the
Baron will be- appcased and make tri-
umphal entry into the club house, while
the men of the committee lie on the
floor for him to walk over their neckS
and a band especially engaged for the
occasion plays "Sec, the Conquering

the the top of the landing. The mother
and three children were found and
quickly removed. Mrs. McBee and the

Suifocated. and reused his wife. They
groped In the smoke and darkness until
McBee struck the window, through
which he leaped or fell. The mother
was with him. but remembering hcr
children, went back to save them. When
