MICHAEL'S ANGELS
They Appear as Witnesses
Against the "Prince.''
THE REVELATIONS SHOCKING.
The Women Are a Hardened and Con
scienceless Set.

The Male Members of the Colony Will Be-
lieve Nothing of the aCharges Against

Tells Them to Prove That He Has Done
Wrong, But viii Not Admit the Truth
of the Charges,
DETROIT, Mich, March 30.-Chief
Starkweather and Assistant Prosecuting
Attorney Springer examined a number
Of the women brought down from the
"Prince" Michael colony as witnesses
against ''Prince" Michael N. Mills and
Eliza Courts yesterday.
The revelations startled the officers
and showed both the prisoners to be
constituencies demons.
Bernice Bickle, a pretty girl Of Is
years, May Webster, girl of 90. Alice
Court, handsome and a sister of New
Jerusalem, and Carrie Bendoy unblush-
ingly spoke Of their relations with the
''Prince," and did not seem to consider
it wrong at all. It transpired that with
the aid of the Courts woman Bernice
Bickle had been deliberately ruined by
"Prince' Michael.
Great indignation is felt at little Ber-
nice's story. In answer to questions put
to her at the examination, which did not
seem shocking in the least to her, but
which were revolving in the extreme, to
the officers conducting the examination,
she said that Michael had told her that
| the secrets of the Godhead must not be
revealed and therefore she did not tell
her mother anything about it,
When the latter was called and was
informed of what her daughter had said,
she would not believe it until Bernice
| told her it was true.
When Michael was brought in and told
| of the charges, he said coolly: "You
| just prove it.'' He quoted from the
Scriptures that false witnesses would not
| appear against him, but did not deny
the truth of the charges.
"Prince" Michael and his female asso-
ciates in crime are occupying cells at the
| Central station. but cannot communi-
cate with each other.
| Besides the four "Angels' who were
taken into custody as witnesses yester-
day, Emma Butler, another CANCEL"
was brought down to police headquar
ters. She gave the same testimony as
the others and is now retained.
AS far as the men are concerned, Du-
| rand, who calls himself "Lucifer," says
that one of the most stringent laws of
| their religion is in regard to celibacy,
which must be observed by every mem
Der.
The male members of the community
will believe nothing of the charges
against Mills.
Bernice Bickle, after her examination,
was taken to the Municipal Court build
ing to make a complaint agains Mills
She faltered, however, and at last As
sistant Prosecutor Springer swore to the
complaint which he had drawn up.
The penalty is five years in State
prison. A warrant was issued.

THE LABOR PROBLEM.

The latest thing in *.<eident insurance
is reported from Nina tlpolis. A COM
pany in that city, largely engaged in
the manufacture Of machinery, has
taken a novel departure by procuring a
blanket accident insurance policy cover
ing every one of its $50 employees. In
case of personal injury to any employe
he receives half pay for f1fty-two weeks,
should his disability continue that long.
In case Of personal injury resulting in
death in fifty-two weeks, half of the
dead mans pay for a year is given to
the widow, the funeral expenses are
met, and she receives 81 500 in cash.
In all cases the doctors fees are pro-
vided for, and cost the employees moth
ing. Notices to the above effect were
sent out at the time of making up the
February payroll. There are other
blanket policies in force in the country,
but they are materially different from
this one in important particulars. The
Minneapolis policy covers the workman
for the entire twenty-four hours instead
of only during the hours he is at work,
whatever he may be doing, except vio-
lating the law. 1t costs him nothing,
there being no assessment of one per
cent to pay for it, and he is relieved
from any responsibility in connection
with it.
Herein lies a possible solution of the
labor problems constantly arising from
discomfort and uncertainty of position.
In this instance perInanency of position
is assured to the workingman during
good behavior, which is earnestly an
incentive to increased application and
usefulness. In case of death from acct
dent there will be something for those
dependent upon him, and during
temporary disability enough income to
keep the family in comparative COM
fort. We believe that our manufac-
turers, large and small, would serve
their own best interests, and promote
the welfare Of their employees and of
the community and the country at large
by adopting the course of the Mime
apolis concern. The money invested
would come back to them with good
increment in more ways than one.

self in the way of preparing to give the
prospective BARONESS honeymoon
such as girls and rich widows dream
about. The story that the baron is not
wealthy in his own right is, of course,
all bosh. He inherited three millions
and has almost a million to
go through with yet, SO that
tho stories that Mrs. Livermore
paid the debts contracted here
some years ago are all untrue. 1t is the
chateau at Mella, near Paris, to which
the happy couple will go Immediately
after their return from Canada. There
the sister of the baron is supervising
the decorations of magnificent bridal
chamber. Its ceiling is being painted
by famous young American artist now
in France, and panels on all sides repre-
sent the most enhancing scenes from
famous love story, which is said to re-
semble very much the romance that
lead to the engagement of the couple.
The baron himself is tall, finely built
and has handsome features. He is not
old, at least not if his looks are to be
taken as a criterion. After a stay at
Mella the couple will live in Paris,
where a new home is being prepared
for them. That is the programme of
one of the Easter marriages.
1 turn from this account to touch
upon, as delicately as the subject per-
mits, the commendable way of spend
ing the honeymoon. 'The best advice

SOME one says that with all the pre-
parations now going on for the big
event of '93, nobody, not even the
women, have thought Of Mrs Columbus
not even asked if such a person ever
lived-and suggests that the loyalty of
woman to woman, and the chivalry of
man to woman is at stake. Probably but
few persons nowadays know that there
was Mrs Columbus, but such is the
fact. Columbus was married in 1470
to Miss Palestrello, of Lisbon, whose
father was a distinguished navigator.
Part of her marriage dowry was a valu-
able collection of charts, journals and
important memoranda. She possessed a
fair education, and was widely known
as brainy, brilliant woman, who was
constantly urging her husband in the
path that finally brought him to the
wonderful goal. When a girl she made
several hazardous voyages with her
father, and made many geographical
drawings, afterwards used by Column
bus, some of which, bearing her name, ARE
now in the collection at Washington.
There is probably no picture of this
brave, talented woman extant, but GER
tainly it would be gracious and most
fitting thing that her memory receive

outnt OF the Baron SeilIiere-whers the
Marquis de Roda VIII Take HIS Bride
Two Counts Among the
Happy Ones.
TcoPxR1eHT. 1897

The beginning of the Easter season
will witness q rather deplorable exodus
Of society ladies from the gay circles Of
New York, and, as a man OF fashion,
feel the prospective departures keenly.
NY remarks will be appreciated as en-
tirely opposite when I add that i've
scions of noble houses will figure prom
inently in the Sabine horror. There is
Marquis de la Tour du Willard, who
will marry Miss Julie Chaplin. Baron
Seilliere will lead Mrs. Livermore to
the altar. Marquis de Roda will get a
firm grip on the hand, heart and fortune
of Nine. de Barrios. Col. Hon. w. E.
Eaton, of the Grenadier guards, son
of Lord Cheylesmere, will be betrothed
to Miss Bessie French, the daughter of
F. Ormonde French, and Count Jo-
hannes Won Frencl1en Sierstorf will
marry Miss Knowlton, of Brooklyn.
When to this list Is added the name Of
Count Rudolph Festetics Won Zolna, Of
Austria, who just before Lent was mar
ried to Miss Ella Haggin, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis T. Haggin, 1 believe
my regrets will be seen to be justifable.
But much is atoned for by the mag
nificent manner in which these sprigs
of nobility have arranged to spend
their honeymoon. made it point to
ascertain all the facts could in this
connection in order to give American
men Of fashion an adequate account OF
how the titled Englishman, the
Frenchman and the gallant Spaniard
have named have arranged for the fash
ionable events in which they are an
nounced as principals.
The Baron de Seilliere, q striking
looking parsonage, has spent SIS, 900 in
fitting himself out for his marriage.
This startlingly large sum was not
thrown away on trihes, but in the pur,
chase of the very richest of clothes. He
has as one peculiar addition to his
wardrobe a sealslkin coat, which he
will probably have occasion to wear
during the coming winter, although he
imagined that the trip to Canada
which is contemplated in April will af-
ford him opportunity for its immediate
use. In fact, as is well known, the
baron is in the sugar business in the
dominion. 1t will be remembered that
the gentleman's fourteen trunks were
seized at the request of q number of al
legged creditors. Well, the wardrobe Of

I am treading on very delicate ground
here, but know the man of fashion
and his pretty ah1anced will both thank
me In their hearts for what am going
to say. The newly married man should
never allow his bride to become the
cynosure of too many eyes on q bridal
tour. That change from girlhood to
wifehood is not one easily passed with
out some sacrifices to an innate mod
esty. No attention the new husband
can show is too much, no care too great.
He must remember that the basis OF
married happiness is laid during those
first days, when idiosyncracies and
peculiarities come glaringly before the
eyes Of each. Attention is love and it
atones for much with q woman.

TIE inhabitants of Rat Portage,
Ont, are very anxious to have the
name of their town changed. Its grow
ing Importance, they think, demands
for it a more dignified and delicate
name, and their pride and cultured ears
are hurt by the appellation of Rat
Portagers, by which they are known.
Petitions for change have been sent
to the authorities, and the names sug-
gested by the petitioners include Van
Horn, Sylvana, Minnesobie and Sui
tana. The latter is much favored, but
the Rat Portagers evidently do not see
the danger of their staid citizens being
known as Sultanas.

that although there has been consider

these sub-commissioners have begun

Advice for Bald Heads.

A writer in an English medical paper
says that much Of the prevalent idi-
opathic badness, that is, badness not
due to previous disease or exciting
causes, could be prevented, or, at all
events. modified, if people would take a
few sensib lie precautions. A head COW
ering should be used as little as possible
and never indoors, in trains or in closed
carriages. In summer and still weather
straw hats are best; in winter, light
felt, ventilated and unlined. Too con-
slant washing of the hair is unneces-
.sary, as well as harmful. Once a week
is quite enough for cleanliness as we'll
as for maintaining the strength of the
hair. The same remark applies to
constant brushing; continued brushing,
especially with hard brushes, should
be avoided. There is common notion
that greasing the hair is vulgar, and it
is now regarded as "bad form" The
consequence is that many people fall
into the other extreme, and never apply
any pomade at all After the hair has
been washed it is quite beneficial to
apply a moderate quantity of some
form of simple grease or oil.
