HOW sHEREDUCED HER WEIGH,

The Duchess of Marlborough's Successful
Banting System.
The Duchess of Marlborough has given to a
writer the secret of how she reduced her weight.
Two years ago she was more than plump; exer-
ton was an effort, her breathing was short
To-day she is slight in bearing and outline
She reduced her avoirdupois by beginning at
her food, and the restrictions practiced by her
are as follows:
Not morsel of bread cake, rolls or pastry
No tea coffee, chocolate or sweet wine.
No potatoes, peas. rice, carrots, turnips, mac
aroni cheese, butter, cream, custard, jellies, or
sweets
Not drop of iced water.
No warm baths.
No flannel, and only enough clothing to keep
from taking cold.
No bedroom heat.
Not drop of any liquid food at meals
In place of bread she had fruit, a section of
apple or orange, some fresh grapes, berries,
cherries, or stewed fruit being used where ordi-
narily one Graves bit of bread or swallow
of water. Her diet was limited to two meals
a day, breakfast at 10 and dinner at Z, with
the following bill of fare to select from:
Rare, lean meats, game and poultry, soft
boiled eggs sea foods toast lettuce, spinach
celery, crosses, fruits She had half a gallon
to drink of hot water every day, with lemon
Juice in 1t to take away the fiat taste. Cold
water was denied her, and ales, frappes, cham
payne, and claret strictly forbidden She was
even loiceu 10 lorego tne luxury or bathing in
water, in place of which she had sponge and
vapor baths. Every few days she took a fast
allowing the system to consume the adipose tis-
sue. While no limit was put upon the pleasure
of driving or riding, she was asked to select the
toughest, rockiest roads and to walk from five
to ten miles dayin the open air. This practice
of self-denial the Duchess of Marlborough has
persisted in for the last two years, and to-day
she is perhaps the handsomest woman of her
age in New York society. She weighs about
one hundred and forty pounds, her eyes are
bright, her complexion is as clear and smooth as
a schoolgirls, and she has the carriage of a
cadet and the health of a child of Nature

respondent saw both parties thia

Green that he had been in
possession of facts for soma
time past, which would indicate thai
his sOn-in-law was a tcO-much married

when he came to this vicinity,
and in the fall of 1885
married his daughter, Miss Carrie
Green, with whom he has lived since,
the result of the marriage being two

gaining additional and corroborating

saying that lie married the second

DIXON is STRICKEN.
Eight Persons Killed and Thirty
Wounded

DIXON, KY, March 30.-The most ter
rife storm that ever invaded this sec
ton of the state passed through Web
ster county Thursday afternoon about
o'clock. The storm made its
appearance as an ordinary storm,
but its clouds soon assumed light red
color with dark cloud hanging in the
center. and funnel shaped. Then
rumbling sound enSued, accompanied
by thunder, lightning, hail and rain.and
the storm burst in its fnry. 1t was about
twenty minutes in duration. Eight
lives were lost and about thirty per-
sons were wounded, some OF whom
will die, and about Sl50,00O worth OF
property was destroyed. The track of
the storm, as far as known here, began
at Black Fork. ON the Ohio Valley rail-
road, and ended at tSebree. on the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad. Your cor
respondent passed through the storm
section to-day, and as far as the
eve can reach there are visible
wrecked houses, fallen trees and de-
mOliShed fences, ,andoccasiOnally smoke
is seen from burning house. One can
ride seventeen miles in the track of the
cyclone without letting down fence.
House tops. weather boarding and fence
rails are scattered over the country,
and it is not an uncommon sight
to see all kinds of wearing
apparel in tops of trees and fastened in
the bushes. There are large number
of horses, cows and hogs killed, and
even chickens and geese did not escape.
The list of dead at present ascertained
is as follows:
George Newman, Mrs Taylor, Dick wilson
Mrs Shelton. John TrOtter's child, Mrs. Ed
wards, S. j. Hammock's child, Henry Pen
dergast The wounded are: John Trotter,
wife and child. James Roland John Edens,
William Brays child William Tulley and
Talbert Grant Bakers wife, Matt Nor
gan, Henry Rayburn and wife, George Ray
bum and child, Charles Monroe and wife,
James Kuykendall, wife and daughter, Mrs.
Mitchell, Frank Kuykendall and wife,
George Hall and wife, John Rabbs, - Ar
mold, William Watson, wife and three chill
dren. Mrs. Wilson. Walter Taylor, - Heads.
1t is thought that seven or eight of the
aboye-named persons will die of their
injuries. There were many dwellings
destroyed and a multitude OF stables
and out-buildIngs. Some of these peo-
pie here are left in utter restitution.
Their houses are not only gone. but some
of them are completely crippled by
wounds, their fences are scattered
all over the country, and fallen trees
are heaped all over their farms. The
committee has commenced working in
the lower end of the county at Black
Fork. on the Ohio Valley railroad. to
get an estimate of the damage sustained
to the inhabitants, and one will start
from here to-dayto Sebree. The citi-
Zens here will give all the help they
can, but are not able to give what will
be necessary.

CHEERS FOR BISMARCK.
The Iron Prince Beloved by the
Germans. 3

Germans. 3
BERLIN, March 30.-Prince Bismarck
arrived at Friedrichsruhe at 10 o'clock
last night. He was received at the rail-
way station by Gen. Leszinski. A
great crowd had gathered at the station
to greet the prince, and he was enthnsi-
astically cheered. Prince Bismarck's s
coming birthday, which will be
the first of next month. was
celebrated at the Kaisers-lautern
to-day with grand fete, which
was attended by many deputies aud a
large concOurse of people. Herr MIGUEL
delivered an eloquent speech on Bis
marck's incompatible services to the
emperor and the empire. Thousands OF
people visited Prince Bismarck to-day.
Count Herbert Bismarck will arrive at
Friedrichsruhe Monday.
The departure of Prince Bismarck for
Friedrischruhe was the occasion of the
greatest public ovation given in Berlin
since the return of the victorious troops
in 1871. The only thing lacking was all
official display of bunting. The sight of
the crowd seemed fairly to take away
the princes breath. and he appeared
to be making a strong effort to repress
his emotion. The interior of the rail-
way saloon was heaped with flowers.
On cushion lay the emperor's tribute,
great wreath of violets encircling a
laurel wreath with golden blossoms and
red. white and black ribbons attached.
The empress sent basket of elder
flower blossoms and magnificent roses.
Several times great cry arose Come
back again." which seemed to pain the
prince. Then "Die Yacht am Rhein"

ure of the train deutschland, Deutsch-
land Uber Allies" was sung. The
officials tried to exclude the public
from the station. whereupon hundreds
rushed to buy tickets for Spandau. Soon
all the tickets we're sold. Then raid
was made on the next station, the fare
to which is a crown. The prince was
half pushed, half lifted from the plat
form. The police were utterly power
less to keep order.

the government. The breaks in the

No solution has yet been found to the

FOR BUSINESS REASONS.
The Players League May Make a
New schedule.

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 30.-The ar
rangement of another schedule, with no
conflicting dates with the National
league, will come up for consideration
at the special meeting of the Players
league to be held in New York next
Wednesday. TO effect this it will ne
cessitate the making of an entire new
schedule. To-day Manager Ha nlOn
said: "A change of this character could
be made with business prOpriety. So
far as Pittsburg is concerned, con-
fiicting dates inspire us with no
dread. l see no good reason, how
ever, for warfare such as the Ma
tional league has mapped out, and the
disturbance is of its creating, as our
schedule was the first to appear. As
the schedule is now arranged. New
York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton are without base ball attractions on
July 4. 4 change should be made in
the schedule regardless of any charges
of timidity, etc, the National league
may make. The Players league will
not leave the patronage offered by these
cities go unharvested. Business inter-
eStS make conflicting dates ut any time
seem unnecessary and impracticable.
Neither the pnblic nor our adversaries
can find fault il in emergencies such as
exist we rise to the practices of guard
ing our own interests"
