She MysteriOusly Disappeared From Paris
 and Is Now In New York.
 NEW YORK, Feb l2.-The Princess Eve Tyne Galatro de COlonna, daughter of Mrs. John w. Mackay, whose suit for judicial separation from her husband is pending in the courts of France, was a passenger on the American Line steamship New York, which arrived from Southampton.
 The princess was accompanied by her three children and maid and her brother, J. w. Mackay, Jr. The party travelled in cognito and were down on the steamers passenger list as Mir. J. NJ. Morgan and valet, Mrs. Morgan and three children.
 Princess COlOnna looked as though the sea voyage had done her good. She and her party ate an early breakfast and inn mediately went on deck in order to view the harbor as the New York came up the bay. While the steamship was making her landing the princess chatted gayly from the upper deck of the New York with her father, who was on the wharf to meet her. The princess expressed to her friends her great pleasure at once more being in her native land, and she and her friends were among the first to step ashore.
 The Princess Colonna mysteriously dis appeared from Paris & few days ago, and there has been a great deal of speculation as to her movements ever since that time. The proceedings in the pending judicial proceedings were to have come up in the French courts on Feb. kS.

SOME OLD TIME GAMES.

Many of the Present Day Sports Were Bor-
 rowcd From the Past.
 It is curious to Eote how some of the games of the early ages have been hand ed down to he present time. Tho game, fol instance, known to most of us as odd and even was also a favorito with the young Egyptian, and many of the little counters that he used arc still preserved in the British museum. There is also the game of drafts, which was played on a checkCrcd board in the Carh- est times. The poor child@n were con tent with draftsmcn and boxes made of rough pieces of clay. hut the richer ones usually had beautifully carved iron headed draltsmvn and boxes.
 The young Greeks, too, were well provided with toys and games for their amusement. The toys We're chiefly dolls made of baked clay, thr arms and legs being joiuted with string. and there fore movAhle. Th>N had q favorite game called Chytri&Md, which has Eecn pre- served through many ages, and Is now played ly boys of today under the well known name uf pusS ill the corner In Franco tho game is called Quatre coins, or four corners. Both in the old game and in the modern version five players are required, one occupying each of the corners, while the fifth player stands in the middle. In ancient Greece he wore an earthen pipkin on his head and was called pot: in France at the pres ent day he is the nlgaud, or simpleton, and by us is called puss.
 To guess the number of fingers anoth- CT held up was also a favorite amuse- ment, and this, too, is frequently play ed at the present time. So you see how carefully the character of the amuse- ments and the playthings of the very early ages has been maintained in the toys and games ill use today.-Ncw- castle Chronicle.

INSANE AT THE ALTAR.
Father Mcdonald, the Assistant Priest, Was Taken Suddenly Insane During Mass and Struck the Pastor of st. Peters With the Ehalice-Taken to a Hospital.

BROOKLYN, Feb. l2-Trerr waS au excit- ing time at St. Peters R man ,Hth"lic church in this city Sunday, an th' ~pss'' a Cle of one priest aSsaultiNG auOt he: at the altar caused panic among tine lH: sr con- gregation which attended the mus .rvice
 The pastor of St. Peters is tn I;rv. Fla ther William J. Hill, a man of middle age, while Father Patrick V. NcD ,"a!l, a young man of about 30 years, k h~ nSSiNt ant. The latter was the ce!clrant of the mass, while Father Hill was at the altar as deacon. When Father Hrn commenced the reading of notices for the day. Father Mcdonald, who was kneeling, suddenly arose, and turning to Father Hill said:
 You cant speak here"
 Struck With the Chalice.
 Father Hill was taken by surprise and whispered to his assistant to keep quiet, but the latter, who weighs about POO pounds. rushed at Father Hill and knocked him down the altar steps. Father McDon- aid then picked up the chaljc,' and Father Hill attempted to take it from him. The former dealt him a blow under the left ear which knocked him down.
 The startled congregation was by this time wild with excitement, and several men i'll the front pews jumped over the chancel rail and prevented Father McDon- aid from committing further violence. Some of the congregation had in he mean time run to the Butler street station for as sistance, and Father Mcdonald was taken to the rectOry opposite the church and con fined ill his apartments. Father Hill was also taken to the rectory and physician called to attend him. He had several SC we're bruises about the head and face.
 Became Suddenly Insane.
 Word was sent to Bishop Mcdonnell, who directed Vicar Ger Aral McNamara to make an investigation. In the meantime Father Mcdonald had become so violent that it was evident he was insane. Later he was removed to St. Peter's hospital where it was found necessary to detail a policeman to attend him.
 Father Hill said that he was taken en- tirely by surprise, as Father Mcdonald had never before manifested any signs of insanity, and he could not account for the sudden derangement of his mind. The po- lice made every effort to keep the facts from the public, but the affair caused too much of a sensation.
