The most fantastic story told is that of the
strange and slow suicide of Baron Bella Olnyi, at
Pesth, in the year of 1875. The baron was sup
posed to be very wealthy He had wife and
SIX children. He lost his money in speculat on,
but this was not known. He went to Paris and
insured his life for 100000 guilden each In five
companies. He returned to Pesth, and his
habits began to change He absenued himself
from home for long periods every day The
picture of health, he began to droop and pine
away. In ten months he died of what the doc
tors called ealloping consumption The insur-
ance comDauies were suspicious, and their de-
tectlves unearthed most wonderful pot. The
nobenan was discovered to have hired small
room in remote and mean portion of the city

with a comfortable sofa, a table two chairs and

cigars and half pound OF common smoking

than eight months the nobeman had smoked
about $500 cigars and about one hundred
pounds of smoking tobacco, having deliberately
poisoned himself with nicotine.
MINNEHAHA. S. D., has just finished new
court house at cost of S125, goo. Over $40, 900
worth of vaults were ordered in, ami recently
the company making the contract was notified
that the safes could not be accepted. The I'M
derstanding was that no one could open the
vaults unless they had the combination or was
an expert at safe blowing Last week Edward
ii. Saunders, plumber, not over Is years old,
entered the county clerks office while the clerk
was endeavoring to open one of the new vaults.
The combination had been lost, and finally the
clerk gave up the job. Young Saunders who
was standing by, said he could open it. County
Commissioner Mckee offered to give Saunders
$40 if he could open the safe. The proposition
was accepted. The young lad placed his ear to
the door, listened to the fall of the tumblers,
and in q few moments the door swung open.
Saunders was turned out of the room and the
combination was changed. Another trial was
given the young genius and again the door flew
open. The chairman of the county commits
sioners has Informed the safe company that
their safes would not be accepted, and awaited
their further orders. Saunders has since opened
a vault of the Hall make in one of the leading
banks of the city as easily if he knew the
combination. In one of the letters that passed
between the commissioners and the safe COM
pany the latter agree to forfeit $4,000 If the
lad can open any vault without first knowing
the combination,

tory of the royal families of Europe at the

cesses Of the present manageable generation
are not getting married with any degree of
rapidity, writes Lucy Hamilton Hooper from
Paris. That very active sovereign, the En-
peror of Germany, has indeed settled two of
his sisters in life but the bethrothal of the
third the Princess Margaret, seems to present
some unforeseen points of difficulty 1t is in
deed an open secret that her imperial brother
has done his best to bring about a match be-
tween his youngest and only unmarried sister
and the Prince of Naples, the Crown Prince of
Italy. 1t would be a suitable union in many re-
spectS, The princess is Just three years younger
than the Prince of Naples, who is now 81. She
was the goddaughter of his mother, Queen Mar
gherita. And, above all. there are no close ties
of consanguity to make such a union unadvisa
BILE. But serious question interposes to pre-
vent the marriage; it is that of religion. The
princess is Protestant, and in spite of the dis
sensions between the sovereign of Italy and the
Pope, the former is, and must always be, of the
Catholic faith. The Princess Margaret would
be called upon to become a Catholic, and to
such a change of religion on the part of his
