KANSAS CITY, Dec. 27.-Reine Duhaute,
a pretty French girl, after having made
a journey across the ocean and half
across the American continent, to marry
her sweetheart, started on her return
homo this morning, the victim of her
falthless lover. Mutual friends started
a correspondence between Mile. Duhaute
and Feliz Dumas, a Frenchman, who
came to this country in 1890 and bought
a ranch in Oklahoma. Correspondence
led to the engagement Of the two, al
though they had never seen each other.
Finally the day was set for the wedding
and Mile. Duhaute, who was a g%overness
at the time in an Englishman's family IN
London, started for America to meet her
intended husband. The meeting place
was to have been the Office of the French
consul. Mile. Duhaute arrived promptly
on time, but Dumas failed to put in ap-
p~earance. The consul wrote to the tardy
lover and received a reply from Dumas
that he had changed his mind and that
he did not now desire to marry Mile.

woman distracted anG she threatened to
commit suicide, having 40 friends IN the
country and no means to return home.

London of the situation by cable and
the latter cabled funds for Mile. Duhaute

The house decorations are very quaint

About the center Of the rope il fas-
tened a crab, a bunch Of ferns and sone
oranges. Each of these decorations has
its meaning-the crab signifying a wish
that the inmates may live to be so old
that they will be bent like the crab. The
ferns, whicA are said to put on new

hope that there may be plenty OF chill

TOO MUCH QUIBBLING DID It,
The Prinee|y Offer Of the Coney Island
Athletic Club Declared OFF.
McAuIile and Burge Must Look 10 New
Orleans for Inducements 10 Fight.

New YORK, Dec. 27.-The $4,000 fight
between Jack McAuliffe and Dick Burge
for the lightweight championship of the
world is off.
Judge Newton, the president of the
Coney Island Athletic club officially
w%ithdraws the princely offer of the club
tonight. The announcement astonished
not only the fighters and their hackers,
but the entire sporting fraternity of New
York as we'll. In making the announce
ment Judge Newton gave out the fact
that he did not believe that McAuliffe
and Burge would ever come to an agree
ment. Judge Newton is disguised with
the quibbling which has Deer going on
between the hackers of the two men in
regard to the details of the battle. The
chief bone Of contention was the weight.
McAuliffe wanted the weight at 100 and
Burge 40. McAulitfe raised it to 49,.
but Burge still hung out and Judge
Newton became weary. Burgess back
ers at once telegraphed to the president
of the Crescent City club at New Orleans.

offer Burge to fight any man at l3j
pounds.
McAuliffe was very much put out.

900 a side. There is a strong belief here
that $4,000 will be the largest purse
that the Crescent club will offer in view
of the fact that they have no opposition
TO bid them up in case they make a
match. By declaring off the contest
Newton has won the admiration of all
loyal sporting men in New York.

The emperor and certain princes of

ence and respect to the tombs of the
heavenly ancestors and offer branches
of the sakaki tree-the emblem of pu.
rity sacred TO the dead.
This ceremony-if so slight a per

acter, for Shinto is the established na-
tional though nearly defunct religion Of

All day long the emperor receives his

The origin of this custom is very an

vicious habit of sending ON the same

sent away, as If they received so many of

to such a pitch that n gentleman could

of all Japanese festivals is New Years.
Formerly it was reckoned according to
the Chinese calendar, but now the Gre
gorian method is used, SO the first day
Of the japanese new year is the same as
ours-the LIST day Of January.
All classes, from the emperor to the
~coolie, participate in this festival, and
the latter probably enjoys himself more
than the former.
For the mikado the day begins at 8 a.
M. as at that hour he receives the
princes Of the blood, who come to offer
their congratulations.
