Proves n Millionaire.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. 15.-Carl Wilhelm
Amonderoff, known as "Pencil Charley"
and heir to the estate OF his father, worth
100000 in Germany, has been located In
this city. He is porter in the saloon Of
Henry Wolstein, l420 East Eighteenth
street. Before he became a saloon porter
he peddled pencils about the street and
thus gained his nickname. His family
lives i'm Berlin, and his father was very
wealthy.
The son was very wild, and ran away
from home IL years ago. Shortly after his
father died, and since then no trace OF
the son could be found. A description OF
the missing man was finally received here,
and IL was found,to fit "PencilCharley, the
saloon porter. His mother was notified,
and she promptly sent money with which

COTTON MILL WAGES,
Movement for an Advance Watched with
Interest at Fall River.


Interest at Fall River.
FALL RIVER, Nov. 15-The general de-
mands that are being made throughout
the New England states for an advance
in the wages of operatives of cotton mills
are being discussed in labor circles here
with all absorbing interest. The de-
mands are being made in accordance
with "A plan outlined at the last meeting
of the national mule spinners' organiZa-
ton. and their enforcement will depend
on circumstances which none Of the lead
ers can forsee at this time.
The wages paid in the Fall River mills
should not be used as standard for
payment elsewhere, az the conditions
surrounding the spinner's work here
are d fferent from those In other New
England cotton manufacturing centres
The granting OF an advance in any out
side centre will lead 10 the operatives in
this city insisting on still greater in
crease than has already been given.

A VERY PRETTY STORY.
The Report THAT Lord Rosebery is En-

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Further inquiries
among the friends OF the Prince of Wales
and Lord Rosebery threw discredit upon
the report that the latter is engaged to
marry Princess Vicio oria, second daug hter
of the Prince Of Wales.
Lord Roseberry has always been on
terms OF intimate friendship with the
Prince aud Princess OF Wales and recent

was no significance in his visit, though 1t
is evident that sensationalists have made
it the basis of their reports Of an engage

that the person making the proposal OF
marriage proceed immediately to the

The confederate general gave Threl-

his stock OF goods and advised him
to skip, whicil he dill. He went to
Chicago, and there conceived tho
brilliant idea OF employing q litho-
graphing house to mnkehim unlimited
quantities cf tho confederate shin
plasters, with which he intended to
return south and buy cotton. He
was proceeding with this scheme
splendidly. being compelled to rent

afterward on the charge OF countefeit-
ing, and his lawyers appealed to
Judge Dixon (now United States
senator) for a writ of habeas corpus
in order to keep young Threlkeld out
OF the hands OF the Chicago officers.

power to issRe money the pieces OF

with counterfeting confederate money

order his unconditional release.
The Judges opinion, so pointedly
expressed, elected burst ofapplause

Connecticut and the Mckinley Law.

| Connecticut and the Mckinley Law.
The resolutions of the Connecticut
Democrats denouncing the Mckinley
bacco crop of the Connecticut Valley.
Thanks to the tariff on Sumatra to-
bacco, the Connecticut farmers are put
ting more money and energy than ever
before into the raising of tobacco, many
buildings are being erected for drying
and storage, thus giving employment
to other industries, and the acreage is
everywhere being increased. Hired
men are receiving larger wages, and
the whcle community shares in the
prosperity thus created.
Connecticut farmers are represented
as saying that under the existing law
they can regain in wealth what they
had been for years losing under the
disastrous competition of the coolie
labor of the island of Sumatrn Tie
new law takes the privilege of raising
tobacco wrappers for our cigars out of
the hands of the slave labor of Sumatra
and places it in the hands of the farm
ers of Connecticut, where it belongs. "
In view of such facts as these the
resolutions of the Connecticut Demo-
Gratis denouncing the protection of
American industry are weak and
worthless Democratic free trade
means free trade for tobacco, as we'll
as for cloth and wool and iron and its
manufactures. 1t would mean a Johns
town flood of importations for the
