ILLNESS OF ANOTHER PRINCE.
"Collars and t,ufs" Laid up with Il
Grippe and Complications.

LONDON, Jan. 1l.-Alarm has been
caused in the royal circle by the serious
illness of the duke of Clarence and Avon
dale, eldest son of the Prince of Wales
The duke had been showing signs of i'll.
ness for some days, but it was hoped that
he had nothing more than passing cold.
Saturday and yesterday, however it be
came apparent that the duke has a severe
attack OF influenza and that it is com
plicated with pneumonia. The combina
ton has proved fatal in so many instance
of late that the royal family feel an
anxiety greater, perhaps, than.the same at
tack would, under ordinary circumstances,
excite

Al the world Loves a Lover.

Among the people, also, the news of the
dukes illness arouSes more sympathy than
would have been the case month ago,
before his engagement to Princess May OF
Icck. The duke has been much more pop
ular since it became known that he was TO
marry for love q woman of English birth.
So serious is the attack that all appoint,
ments made by the prince have been can
ccIIcd, and the marriage, appointed for the
2'th of February, for which great prepara
Jons are being made, will, of course, de.
pend upon his recovery. When the news
Of her lovers condition was carried to the
princess she showed the deepest anxiety,
and wanted TO 90 Immediately to his side.
The Sailor Prince George.
Should the duke become a victim OF the
disease which has been playing havoc in
England and on the Continent, his place
rs heir to the throne, after the Prince of
Wales. would be taken by the sailor Prince
George, who Is a more popular favOrite
than any other member of the royal
family. Already there is speculation on
this subject, although at present there Is
no reason to apprehend fatal result of
the dukes malady

fic subjects and dates by the State
High School Board and must be taken

ents at st. Paul. 1t was there that
she met and married her husband five
years ago. When her husband be.
came employed as a book-binder in
the FREE PRESS bindery, she came
here to live and by her sweet manner
and her excellent conversational pow.
ers she made many friends. Mrs.

Episcopal church and did her share
in spreading the gospel. A service
was conducted at her late .home Wed.
nesday, by Rev. Mr.. Taylor, after
which the remains were taken to ST.
Paul for interment.

ANOTHER VERY SAD DEATH.

two pretty little children to the care
! of their father. The task was not a
light one, and last fall Mr.. Sager was
fortunate enough to find helpmeet
for himself and a mother for his babes
in very estimable young lady by the
name of Miss Ida Spaulding.
About two weeks ago Henry was
taken sick with a severe attack of La
Grippe, and this soon developed into
pneumonia. He continued to fail
very rapidly, and Tuesday afternoon
about 3 O'Clock breathed his last. He
was a young man, good hearted, quiet
and energetic and the community as
well as the wife and little children
have lost friend and citizen. The
funeral takes place today at O'Clock,
from Baptist church. The whole COM

day of April, perhaps arose as trav-
esty on the sending of Christ, hither

and from Plate to Herod. In France

in which the Slow-going Hindoo is
known to be ahead of the more pro
