of the best families Of RockwaD, a county
adjoining Dallas
Il seems that the girls mania to be DOS.
sessed OF riches has led her into numerous
scrapes, but the prominence OF her relatives
and prompt payment for all goods or the
return of all money taken has always kept
her depredattons from the public.
Last summer she fell In love with young
man at Rockwall, who, IL is said, gave her
to understand that it was his intention Ia

just been made public which appears to show
that the vatican has had an elnissary in the
very household Of the Marquis of Sails
bury, the prime minister of course, being
entirely ignorant Of the fact. The inter-
esting and rather startling intelligence
comes from a lady who was recently a
guest at Hatfield house, the residence
in Hatfleldshire of the prime minister
In letter written by the lady she says:
"The last time l was staying at Hatfield
house l was struck by the face of man
who was employed in the capacity of major
domo Of the establishment. The features
Of the man haunted me as those of some one
/ had seen before. While trying 20 renem-
ber where and when had seen him Hooked
at the man rather frequently. He noticed
me observing him and seemed somewhat
Disconnected.
THE PUZZLE SOLVED.
Suddenly remembered where we had
met before, and he instantly saw the recog-
milton In my countenaEce. II was 10 the

and he appeared to be very much put out
by the intelligence which impaired TO him,
but had little TO say In regard TO the strange
occurrence Members of Lord Salisbury's
family however, thoroughly discussed all the
facts OF the case and the conclusion arrived
at by them after everything had been con-

was Jesuit agent and that he had In

ASS1AP EEOm AhllobOa.
SAS Francisco, Nov. 26.-Among the
passengers on the Mariposs from Samoa
was United States Land Commissioner Fl.
q. Ide, who was sent down to Samoa to
straighten out the land titles, in conjunction
with the English and German commission
ers. Mr.. Ide was compelled to resign on
account Of illness in his family.
Speaking of affairs in Samoa
he said: ''The native people
regard the taxation to which thev have
been subjected as oppressive. Hostilities
may be expected at any time. The natives
look TO Mataafa to redress their wrongs,
real or imaginary, and the latter chief
makes no secret Of his ambition to succeed
Malietoa. He says he is the rightful king
OF the Samoans. He argues thar in the Ber-
lin treaty the powers laid down that Malie-
toa should be king until his successor
be elected. He demands that an election
take place. He has the people with him,
he claims, and is therefore the rightful
king. When the news Of his warlike etti-
tude reached Apia a council was called by
Malietoa, and proclamation issued order
ing the chiefs to disperse. The latter re-
fused to obey, and their lands were de-
clared forfeited to the government and
they themselves were declared rebels. This
was the condition Of things when l left
Apia, and il the powers don't interfere it
looks as If war could not be averted."
