The Infapta Eu,alie to Come.

The infanta Eulale, who will represent
Queen Regent Christiana at the Chicago Co
lumbian Exhibition, and her husband. Prince
Antoine, who will accompany her to America,
are already making preparations for the jour
ney. The date of their arrival in New York is
now being considered by the foreign Office.
A small court of grandees will accompany the
representative OF the Queen Regent. In the
party will be the Marchioness Comllas, the
Duke of Tamames, an intimate friend Of the
late King Alfonso, and the Duke of Veraguay.
They will travel in state on board of one Of the
Spanish mail steamers, calling at Porto Rico,
where they will remain for day. Thence
they will proceed to Havana, remaining five
days. During their sojourn in Cuba they will
make visit either to Matanzas or Santiago.
From Cuba they will sail for New York on
frst-elass Spanish cruiser. Their stay in the
United States will be short one.
The lnfanta Eulalie. who is the aunt of the
youthful King of Spain, is the most. .charming
member of the Spanish royal family. Lately
her health has been delicate and it is whis
pered that she is suffering with consumption,
and ii is hoped that sea voyage and change
OF climate will prove beneficial to her.
Formerly she was the merrest of the Spanish
Infantas. but since her marriage to Prince
Antoine which occurred in 1886, when the In
fanta was q years old, she has fallen into a
state Of settled melancholy. The marriage was
an unhappy one. Prince Antoine is dull and
uninteresting and is not held in high favor any
where He is the son of Prince Antoine, of
Orleans, Duke Montpenser.

McKinley's Misfortune.

Gov. William Mckinley, of Ohio, has been
made bankrupt by Robert L. Walker, of
Youngstown, O., whose papers the Governor in
dorsed, and who failed recently. 1t has been
found that tho Governors liabilities will
amount TO any sum between $4,000 and $l10,-
600. The lowest figure stated represents a
sum nearly five times as large as the sum he
has saved during the 49 years of his life, and
to help meet his obligations, his wife, who is an
invalid, has decided TO turn over all her prop
erty 10 help cancel the debt This money was
left as a legacy TO her, and if sold under the
hammer it will bring, so it il estimated, about
$75, 600. Her friends strongly protest against
allowing her means to go to cancel the Gov
ernors debts incurred by another man.
Maj Mckinley has made an absolute and
unqualified assignment of his property for the
equal benefit of his creditors He had a small
fortune before he went to Congress, and has
added nothing to it in recent years. All of
that will be swept away. In all the years in
which he has served the people he has allowed
to pass by many opportunities for money max
ing. The statement was made when the crash
first came that the Governor intended rcsigning
his Office but this was Indignantly denied.
According to reports number of the leading
Republican clubs are starting subscription TO
cancel the debts. As soon as his term of Office
ends he will begin his law practice again and
make it his object in life TO pay all that he had
been dragged into owing.

The Real American Girl.

The truest. best. and sweetest type of the
American girl of to-day does not come from the
home of wealth she steps out from home where
exist mforts rather than Injuries, writes Ed
ward w. Box in the March Ladies Home JOHIHaI.
She belongs to the great middle class-that
class which has given US the best American
wifehood; which has given helpmates to the
foremost American men of our time; which
teaches its daughters the true meaning of love;
which teaches the manners of the drawing
room, but the practical life of the kitchen as
we'll: which teaches its girls the responsibilities
of wifehood and the greatness of motherhood.
These girls may not ride in their carriages;
they may not wear the most expensive gowns;
they may even help little to enlarge the fam
lily income but these self-same girls are to-day
the great bulwark of American society, not
only present but of the future. They represent
the American home and what is best and truest
in sweet domestic life, and they make the best
wives for our American men.
