that, it has been said thero was a proba- bility of suit for divorce on the part of Mrs. Vanderbilt.
 Thero Is no doubt that Mrs. Vanderbilt has consulted friends as to the advisabil- ity of instituting such proceedings.
 Tho name of Nelly Neustretter, n very we'll known woman living in Paris, though of Dutch birth, is mentioned in this connection, with what authority Is herself in expensive apartments in Paris and at Deauville, with an elaborate en- tourage of servants.
 Yachting Party Broke Up.
 The domestic difficulties between Mir and Mrs. Vanderbilt reached almost u eli max last spring when tho party on the splendid yacht Valiant broke up in the Mediterranean under circumstances which at once widely separated all its members.
 Mrs. Vanderbilt went to England, where Scott Murray's beautiful estate, Danes field, near Henley, on tho Thames, had been rented for her Mr Vanderbilt re- mained in Paris for tho first months of summer, but has recently been at Deau- villc returning to Paris last Friday.
 In June last Cornelius Vanderbilt came to Londcn to intCrpose strenuous offices to stop further. and especially public, proceedings, but was unsuccessful in TO- storing peace and returned homo. Mrs. Vanderbilt committed her inter ests to Colonel William Jay of New York, who with Mrs Jay, has been at Danes field until last week. He is now,at Hom. burg, Mrs Vanderbilt being also in Ger many.
 Formal Separation Proposed. Colonel Jay Is to bc in Paris on Sept | l5 as n guest of James Gordon Bennett. A formal proposition has been made by Mrs. Vanderbilt for n separation on term: | of an annual allowance of $500, 900, tho custody of her children and the possession of tho thrcO houses at Newport, Islip and | in New York
 \ gentleman in position to bc cogni zant of all tho facts states that MT. Van | derbilt intcrpOscd no objection to a scpara tion, but ,ncrrd much less favorabl, terms than those asked by Mrs. Wander bilt. His pro.fer has been refused by her | and fut her definite discussion awaits th' | arrival in Paris of Colonel Jay. Mir. Vanderbilt was scCn today at thu | Hotel Continental. but declined to dis | cuss the matter luther than to say that Y, | proceedings in divorce had been taken D. | him.

nrirIn nf the Irnhadcn Indn.trr.

Mir. Robert F. Walsh, in The Popu- lar Science Monthly, thus recalls the origin of tho present menhaden indus try: ''It was in 1850 when an old lady, Mrs. John Bartlett of Bluehill. Me, boiling some fish for her chickens, Ob- served a thin scum of oil upon the sTr- face of the water. Some of this she bot tied, and when on q visit to Boston soon after carried samples to a leading oil merchant, who encouraged her to bring more. The following year the Bartlett family industriously applied their gill nets and sent tO market l3 barrels of oil, for which they were paid at the rate of $ll Der barrel. In the following ycav this family made 100 barrels. Then, the value of menhaden oil hay ing become recognized, many oil presses of n mOrc or less imperfect cOnstruc- tion-wcrc established along. the coast, and tho industry developed so rapidly that within 70 years the yield of men had T oil exceeded that of the whale from the American fisheries"

His Trouble So Grave as to Demand Serious
 Attention.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.-Thc health of the czar Is causing general anxiety in Russia There is no longer any doubt that his majesty is threatened with grave kidney troubles. It has been apparent for some time to those who havo secn tho czar in public that he is a sick man. Ho has grown thin, his complexion Is pale and of a bad color. and he has the air of commonly unmarked among the spcctatorS at the recent launching of the armurCd cruiser Admiral ScniavinC.
 It Is scmioflicially stated that the solo reason for countermandinG tho order for the army maneuvcrs at Smolcnsk was tho stato of the cmperors health. When Fro lessor Xaccharin was summoned 10 St. Petersburg to see the czar, it was the upin ion of the palace physicians that his mai esty was suffering from loose kidney. Professor Iaccharin. after thorough CX- animation of the patient, declared that that dangerous malndy did not exist, but that his majesty was suffering from pro- nounced albuminuria.
 The future movements of tho imperial family will be regulated by the pruGrCSS of tho cmpCror's disease. The emperor will undoubtedly go tn Copenhagen. as the physicians are of opinion that tho vuy. ago and change will du him good. Pro lessor Zaccharin will ho appointed in, spector of medical affairs at the imperial court, so that he will bc able to bc in con stant attendance upon the cZar and watch closely tho changes in his condition.

Two Killed In a Row Caused by a TIlIman
 Constable.
 COLUMBIA, s. C., Aug. 29.-A bloody tragedy Was enacted in Blackville, whero- by Solomon Brown and John Gribben, q dispensary constable. were killed. The double killing was the result of an old feud between Gribben and the influential Brown family.
 Gribben went to tho depot and opened case of dry goods consigned to Solomon Brown, ostcnsibly for tho purpose of seiz- Ing contraband whisky. simon Brown, the father of Solomon, met Gribben on the street later and approached him for opening his package, accusing him of per seoution. The quarrel waxed warm, and Brown was joined by his sons Solomon, lsador and Hermann. Gribben offered to fight any ono of them, and Isador 22 years old, accepted tho challenge. Crib ben struck at him, but tho blow was par Tied, and Brown knocked Gribben down.
 At this juncture pistols wero pulled, and six or seven shots were fired in quick succession. Gribbcn was shot through the shoulder and near tho heart He staggered into a store, firing at the same time at tho Browns bullet struck Solomon Brown, who fell half way to the ground. Gribbcn continued his firing, and one bullet penetrated Solomon Browns head. killing him instantly.
 Another bullet penetrated his heart When Gribben's pistol was cmpticd, h. walked through the storo to the back yard, where he fell and died in 10 min utes.
 Some contend that Coroner II. P Dich CT, who was standing in n storc at tn, time, fired tho shot that killed youn; Brown. The coroner proceeded to hul, an inquest, however, but the sheriff ar rived in the midst of 1t and arrested hin on a charge of having been an accessory. Trial Justice Hammct then impanele' 0 jury and took testimony in relation [ Gribben's death. The verdict was tha ho was killed by Hermann Brown, an, that Simon and Isador Brown were ac cessories before and after the fact. Tn inquest over young Browns remains wil be held today.

He has had the cover of the pamphlet printed in fac-simile of that blank pamphlet, first brought to the atten- ton of congress during the silver debate in the senate at the extra session by a W, uld be wit, with its flaring title. What Congress Has Done" MT Hall shows what it really has done and as his sum- mary discloses it has been, all things con- sidered, creditable session to the demo- cratic party. It has made all money equally taxable; restored confidence in our currency and finances; given to the peo- pie the opportunity of living better and cheaper; shattered the protective trusts of McKinleyIsm; placed the lurden of taxa ton on the rich mans surplus as well as upon every mans needs; restored the free l dom of election; placed the transactions of the government and its method of account ing upon business basis; greatly reduct d expenditures of the government and the number of oiTice holders. and has main- ttined an unreleLtinG fight against trusts and moEopClits which protection created. At the close of the summary MT Hall prints the quotation: 1t has fought the z fight. it has finished the course, it ha> kept the faith"

Queer Freak Of Memory.

The French scientist, Ribot, in his
work ON Diseases of the Memory" tells
Of man 80 years Of age, Of considera-
Bile learning and requirements, who
was found at the termination Of Sc
we're illness to have lost the recollection
of everything, even the names of the
most common objects.
AS soon as his health was restored he
began to acquire knowledge like a child.
After learning the names of objects he
was taught to read, and after this be-
gan to learn Latin. He made considera-
BILE progress when one day in reading
his lesson with his brother, who was his
teacher, he suddenly stopped and put
his hand to his head.
""What is the matter? Don't You feel
wella" asked his brother.
IT feel peculiar sensation in my
head" he replied, land now it seems
to me knew all this before
Strange to say, from that time he
rapidly recovered his faculties and could
never understand how it had been nec-
essary to teach him reading and writing
when he was 80 years of age and pro-
ficient in both.
