fu,n, IN brief, is the history of the
Rev. William Wilson. The infor-
nation which came to relatives
here from Waco, Tex, is to the effect
that he had been preaching near that
city when he borrowed horse
from neighbor, +. II. Sapp, and sold it
to policeman named James Hall. He
was arrested and entered a plea of
guilty. Before being sentenced he
made an affecting plea for mercy,

GOING OUT OF BUSHES


A Correspondent Says the Days of the
Drribund Are Shor'.
ROME. Nov 26.-The Holy Father has
directed that all documents relating to
the coming conslstJry shall be ready by
the 10th to the 18th Of december. This
order proves nothing decisive as to the
date of the consistory. The Pope has
often delayed it, even when every
thing was perfectly ready. This time
it seems that the conslstory may
take place beyond the dates mentioned,
in view of the fact that fits Holiness is
still preoccupied with the decisions of
matters of grave political import. The
political situation in Europe fills his
thought 10 a great extent. His Christ
mas discourse four years ago was vi
hrating appeal for peace. The Pope
believes that war is nigh impossible,
and that an armed peace will not only
ruin the people ofthe various European
countries, but will foster the Anarchists,
who Will rise sooner or later In
barbarous revolt. 1t is believed
that the time is not distant when the
Pope will determine upon urging a
combination for general progressive
disarmament. Quirinal circles are
greatly dlsquieted. The diplomacy of
the consuta as is learned from abso-
lutelv certain sources, is taking active
and powerful measures at Vienna, Lon
don and Berlin to stop negotiations
with France which aim at rapproche-
ment between France and Austria. En-
gland and Germany. The ,lulri-
nal knows that an entente be-
tween England and France would
render its position not only
difficult, but dangerous. Italy would
be isolated and have everything to fear,
both from the papal side and from the
national sentimento of France. This ex-
plains why the Italian government now
coquettes with France and protests that
Italy has always had profound friend
ship for the consistory. A person occu-
pying high position says that the days
of the Triple Alliance are numbered.

Titled FAMILY'S TROUBLES.
Oowager Duchess Of Sutherland Tells
Her Story.


Her Story.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Dowacel
Duchess Of Sutherland, formerly Mrs.
Rlalr, whose relations with the family
Of the late Duke are, to put it mildly,
somewhat strained, has issued
en-page, closely written pam
phlet, in which she details her
grievances. The present Duke, her
step-son, instructed counsel Yesterday
TO contest his fathers will, and this fact
may nave had something TO do with the
appearance of the pamphlet to-day.
The DOwager Duchess relations to
tee Duke before marriage were the sub.
ject ot much gossip on both sides of the
Atlantic. The couple visited America
III lSS9, aud were married on March
!, IN Florida. IN her pamphlet
the Dowa2er Duchess saws that
she and the Duke were advised that it
would be well for them 10 have rec
ord of the events OF the last three
years. She has therefore written
a true account of those events, aided
by diaries and letters. The
Dowager Duchess then proceeds to
state that she became engaged 10 marry
the Duke in February, 1882 The Duke
wrote to his three children, announcing
the enga cement, and expressing the
hope that the Duchess would be kindly
received by them. In reply to these
letters the Duke received the most un-
kind answers, showing an utter absence
Of care for his future happiness.
Continuing, the Duchess says that
upon her return TO England she went to
stafford House, the Dukes residence IN
ST. james. and found that the Marquis
Of Stafford, the present Duke, and Lady
Alexandra, the late Dukes second
daughter. had ransacked the
place, leaving the private rooms
bare of ornaments. The Duchess
made advaeces toward conciliation,
but she received no response. Lady
Alexandra. instead of responding to her
over;ures, wrote disagreeable letter TO
her father. When the Duke and
Duchess visited the family residence at
Lilies Hall in Shropshire, the Marquis
OF Spafford wrote that for once he would
not mind their visiting there, but if
they went there again he would leave
the place.

Busch, of the Anheuser Company. has
little doubt. The mammoth nature OF
the project is such that it will
arouse the interest of the financial
world. 1t is such an enterprise as only
a Napoleon of finance could have con-
ceived. and its conception took place In
fact in the brains of a family OF such
the Rothschilds. That they are at the
back of it makes the possibility Of carry

which would render it an absurdlty II
