DIR. Dunschowe and four non-commissioned

The additional details Just received show
that while Capt Zalewski's expedition was al
Nahehe the chief ruling over that district
promised friendship to the Germans, but

Short-Lived Athletes,



Did it ever occur to you that athletes are
rarely long lived? By athletes mean the folks
who are training themselves continually for
special feats of muscular power. and leave
out the dilettante amateur who exercises
slightly, comparatively speaking, and then with
only the object of physical development. 1t is
my opinion that, as u rule, the professional
athlete is not very good risk for the life in
surance people. And this aside from any risks
of physical injury of a sudden nature to which
the athlete in the course of his performances
may be subject. l think it would seriously
stump you ii l asked you to name a dozen
cases of extreme longevity among men who
have been famous for their muscular power
and skill. But anybody can name a dozen
people who have led sedentary lives from boy
hood and attained extreme old age. Very
strange as II may appear. consumption is dis
ease to which the swimmer, the oarsman. the
runner and the fighter have all on numerous
occasions fallen victims. Rheumatism is
al Mother common disorder. Ali of which some
times makes me think that nature never in
tended the development of the human phi ysical
energies to the point at which they are often
observed. The athlete who lives the longest is
the man who used to be an athlete and gave up
his athletic fancies and plans before he had
reached middle life. Otherwise you lind that
the average of years on earth of athletes is
surprisingly low.

MISS POTTER AGAIN FREE.
Her Marriage With Young Rust Declared
Null and Void.

Her Marriage With Young Rust Declared
Null and Void.
CHICAGO, Sept. IA few days ago sensa-
ton was created in social circles here by the
announcement that F. Lee Rust son
Of the millionaire lumberman, Mr.
W. A. Rust Of Eau Claire Wis,
had been clandestinely welded to Miss Ger
trude w. Potter, daughter of Millionaire O.
W. Potter. president of the Illinois Steel Co. Of
this city, at Lake Geneva, Wis. June 6.
Another sensation was created this morning
when it was announced that on q petition OF
young Rust's father and with the consent
Of the bride, and presumably with
the concurrence of the parents of
both Of the young people, Judge Horton of
this city, sitting privately. had entered n de-
cree declaring the marriage null and void.
The grounds on which the decree was granted
were that the groom was q minor and had con-
tracted the alliance without the kuowl-
edge or consent of his parents. The
young couple recently returned from a trip
to Europe i'll company with the brides mother
though it is claimed that the fact OF their mar
riage was not known to the parents of either.
Miss Potter is the heroine of several ro-
manccs. Two or three years ago, according to
published statements. she had a love affair
with a newsboy named Dunninant. The boy was
afterward sent to the state penitentiary on a
conviction for theft He claimed that he was
innocent and that his conviction was the result
of a conspiracy to break his affair with Miss
Potter.
Subsequently the young lady entered a
dramatic school, and, i'll due time, made her
appearance on the stage in abbreviated gar
ments.

A Plague of Butterflies

Munich has been invaded by an enormous
army Of butterflies. Millions Of the species
known as ''nonhenschmetterling attacked
the city few nights ago. attracted. as is sup
posed, by the brilliancy of the electric lights.
The walls Of the houses before which electric
lamps were fixed were literally covered with
the butterflies. In several places they forced
their way through the doors and windows and
futtered around the lights. In the Cafe Kai-
serhof and the Lowenbsau-k Keller the intensity
of the light fascinated such swarms of the but
terdy nuns" that the devotees OF King Gam
brinus found their hats and clothes so fhickly
coated with the intruders that they hurried out
and left the invaders in possession La some
places the lamps were darkened by the mass of
butterflies clinging around them.

Curious to know what the cause was, the en-

messed by President Cannot.
PARIs, Sept 17.-At Vitry-le-Francais today
President Carnot and his cabinet reviewed the
French army, consisting Of 10000 men,

vers since September under the supreme
command Of Gen. Ssussier. There was an
enormous crowd present and the most fervent
enthusiasm was manifested by the masses.
NJ de Freycinet, president Of the council Of
ministers and minister Of war, was unfor-
tunately unable to be present with the rest Of
the cabinet ministers at the beginning of the
review. He caught severe chill soon after the
Vandeuvre banquet.
The review concluded with grand charge
up to the grand stand occupied by the presi-
dent Of the entire massed force Of cavalry,
10000 men, who Numbered up in grand style
and then refined up sharply and presented
swords amid q roar of enthusiastic approval
from the crowds who witnessed this SPLENDID
vancouver. M.de Freycinet was sufficiently re-
covered to be present during the latter part Of
the review.
