tailed by butchers. Last week 100 cat
tie died within a range of 6 miles south

A PRINCESS REMoRsE.

Now Go Into Convent.

MUNICH. July 29. Princess Elvira, of
Bavaria, has left her home here on a
pilgrimage to Rome, where she will
confess to the pope himself and then re-
tire to a nunnery. The motive of this
step is love affair which eliminated in
the suicide of Miss Hagemann, an
actress. She was engaged to Actor Bonn,
but the princess alienated his affec-
ton, whereupon Miss Hagemann killed
herself. This episode created quite a
scandal here and Bonn was compelled
to resign from tho Royal theater cast.
Princess Elvira commended him to
Emperor Francis Josef, of Austria.
and in consequence Bonn was engaged
at the Vienna Bung theater. But the
princess has been ever since conscience
stricken and finally took the resolution
mentioned above.
