A Social Sensation Created in
Cincinnati
BY A MILLI0NAlRE's DAUGHTER
Babette FleIschmann Throws Over an Italian
Count to We'd the Family Doctor-His
Highness Working in Chicago.

CINCINNATI, June "a social sensation
was produced by the announcement of the
engagement OF Miss Babette, daughter of
Millionaire Fleschman, to DR.. S. r.
Holmes, local physician. Miss Fleisch-
man caused a sensation few months ago
by breaking an engagement with Count
Logithetti, who is now working in Chi
cage.
Count Lcgithetti belongs to a royal fam
lily of Greece. For $50 years his family has
resided in Hungary. The count came to
this country in 1855 with a letter of intro
duction from his uncle, a high officer in the
Austrian army, to Louis Fleschman of
New York. He met Miss Babette in the
Catskills and at Long Branch and an en-
gagement speedily followed. In Novem-
Der last there was magnificent bstrothal
feast. Two months ago the engagement
was broken off in Cincinnati.
Louis Fleischman said the published
statement that the engagement was off be-
cause the count would not relinquish his
allegiance to foreign power, was correct,
but the count said this story was ridicU-
lous. 1t was said also that Logithetti did
not like Miss Babbettes
GAY AND vIvAcIoUs WAYS;
that while he was at work in Chicago she
went to balls and parties in Cincinnati.
The count is a strikingly handsome man,
but poor.
THE COUNT NOT TROUBLED MUCH.
CHICAGO, June 4.-Count Eugene Logi-
F'leischmann, the beautiful daughter of the
wealthy yeast manufacturer, was broken
because of his refusal to become an Ameri-
can citizen, does not appear to pc cast
down because of her engagement to an
other. To him it is better to have loved
and lost than never to have loved at all,
and he accepts the announcement that she
is to be the wife of DR.. G. r. Holmes of
Cincinnati as philosophically as he could
under the circumstances.
He retains his position as manager of
Mr.. Fleischmann's Chicago house, but
since the unpleasant event of six weeks
ago he has had no social relations with the
F'leischmann family.
"This is the first intimation that have
received Of Miss Fleischmann's love for
another said he. "While / was a caller
at the F'leischmann residence l met DR..
Holmes. He was introduced to me as the
family physician. l hadn't the least sus-
picion that he sought the hand of my
fance, and therefore
THOUGHT NOTHING OF HIS FREQUENT VISITS.
He is more than SO years old. If it is true
that they are to be married it is complete
surprise to me.N
