j.. e.. ID. and Royalty.

A gentleman just returned to London
from the racing aud other festivities at
Cannes calls my attention to n social
feature of the royal gayeties in the past
fortnight which will be of special inter.
est to Americans. One of the first acts
Of the Prince of Wales on his arrival at
the Riviera was to make q personal call
upon u private citizen of the United
States. Two days later the prince invit.
ed him to lunch, an invitation which the
American was unable to accept, because
he himself was that day entertaining ex
Empress Eugene, Grand Duke Michel
and other royal guests. 1t is n fact well
known in all courts and salons on the
continent that no untitled individual in
all Europe is so cordially welcomed in
the most exclusive circles of royalty and
aristocracy as this man. His name is
James Gordon Bennctt.-New York

Hard Lines for the Marquis.

That interesting member Of the Brit
ish aristocracy, the Marquis Of Allies
bury, will be adjudged a bankrupt IL
within a month he does not pay 81, ESQ.,
900 due to creditors above certain doubt
full assets. The marquis has been gall
lantly end~eavoring to prevent this con-
summation since 1890, when bankruptcy
proceedings We're first commenced
against him, and the delay secured is q
rare tribute to his cunning or that of his
lawyers. His lordship's chief lament Is
that he is married, and therefore unable
to wed an heiress. He has no doubt Of
his personal attractions or of the COM
mercial value Of his title. Yet these
splendid assets are unrealizable because,
years ago, when he was young and had
plenty Of money, he married Dolly Tes-

CARRIED OFF BY A WOLF.
A baby Rescued After So had Been carried
Two Miles by It's Csptor.


Last Saturday n big wolf which has
terrorized the people of the Bumpas ave
region, in North Carolina. for the last
two OF three years entered the cabin Of
n mountaineer Aamed Brown during the
momentary absence of the housewife,
and, Selling the only occupant, al infant
o months old, by the clothing in the re-
gion OF the chest, lifted it from tho rude
cradle and bore 1t away into the noun
tains. When the mother returned to the
house and missed the baby, she rushed to
the door just in time to see the wolf and
its precious burden disappear into the
neighboring woods.
The distracted woman began to scream.
This brought the husband, who was chop
ping wood not far away. to the scene in
O high state Of excitement. The story
from tho lips Of the hysterical mother al
most drove the brave fellow daft, but he
seized his ak, called his dog and started
in hot pursuit. There were about two
inches Of snow on the ground, and it prov
identially enabled the desperate father
of the kidnapped infant to strike the trail
Of the wolf Immediately after leaving
his d%ooryard. Once upon the track of
the beast, he rushed Though the noun
tains with q speed born Of distraction,
expecting every moment to come upon
the old assassin licking his chops red
with the warm blood Of his victim.
About two miles from his cabin the
tracks Of the wolf led the pursuer under
a long shelf Of rock %protruding from the
side Of a mountain. There was no snow
here, and tho father lost the trail, but he
now urged his dog, which up to this
time he had compelled to remain with
him. The dog took the lead, and the
man followed, fully expecting to find the
entrance to the VOLTS den, from which
he could hardly hope to get the baby
alive. But his fears were groundless.
He 500 canse upon bis faithful dog wag-
cling his tail and looking down at 4 little
white bundle at his feet. 1t was the
baby, sound asleep and most frozen, ap-
parently unhurt otherwise.
Brown took off his coat, and wrapping
the infant snugly in it started hastily for
home. He soon met his wife and two or
three of the neighbors to whom she had
given the alarm. 1t was a most remarka.
bic rescue. The mountaineers say that
it was only n freak Of the mad" wolf,
but the little one no doubt owes its life
TO a drenching of petroleum given it for
some c%utaneous affection by its mother
just before it was carried away. The
odor of the oil was too much for his
wolfship. He probably shifted about
the child after laying it down under the
rocks and preparing to make a delicious
meal, then left In disgust.-St. Louis

A ROMANCE IN 1T.
An Interesting Contest In the Land once,
and the Young Woman Wins


and the Young Woman Wins.
The final decision Of the secretary OF
the interior in the land case Of Francis
L. Box and Jerry Dammon against Jessie
M. Sinclair has been received. The case
was tried IN the local land Office in 1891.
The decision was in favor of Miss Sin
clair. Box and Dammon appealed, and
the commissioner of the general land
Office affirmed the decision of the local
Office Aug. 22, 1892. Both defeated
parties again appealed to the secretary,
who has now confirmed the commission.
er's decision in favor of Miss Sinclair.
1t seldom there is a tinge of romance
about a land Office case. There is in this
one. Miss Sinclair, whose home was at
Durand, was a schoolteacher. Her affec-
tons had been gained by worthy young
man whose home is not far from the
Sinclairs in Pepin county. Both were
poor. She determined to do her part in
giving herself and her future husband q
start, and with this purpose she settled
on the land in question, a portion of the
famous water reserve territory. The
land she gets is worth about $500, hav-
ing valuable pine on it. The young
lady's friends state the wedding will
take place in the near future. Secretary

HARD TIMES IN AUSTRALIA.
A Great Increase In Crime and Dcstitution
Due TO Industrial Depression.

Due To Industrial Depression.
Advices from Australia by the steamer
Warrimoo show nm alarming increase in
casualties, crimes and acute distress.
The police are unable to cope with des-
perate housebreakers, who swarm in the
large cities. A few that have been ar
rested give as an excuse that famine
drove thcin to deeds of violence. Several
of the policemen attacked by burglars at
Sydney are dying. The survivors have
been promoted and given bonuses by Sir
George Gibbs.
On ono day last week at Sydney, be-
sides u score of petty robberies, the city
hospital was robbed Of all its valuables
by nurses. Mercredie Sc Drew, manu-
facturers, were robbed eff $50. 900 by EN-
ployees. f. Coxon, merchant, was robbed
by an employee Of a large sum. Three
young women succeeded in passing a
number Of counterfeit checks. Charles
Graham, n postoffice clerk, embezzled
5000 from the postoflice.
The governments claim is that the IN
employed problem is too complicated to
solve. In Sydney $500 each week is
spent in aiding 500 families. Five thou
sand men in South Australia have asked
the governor to call a special session Of
parliament to discuss means to aid them.
The governor refused. Then they waited
on Premier Kingston, but the premier
would premise nothing. He told them
that though they were in want of food
they had refused to break II yards Of
rock per week for rations, and he could
do no more. The delegation said they
would not break rock for food alone.
Thousands are sleeping in the open air,
and several have starved to death. At
Bourke, Afghans and Europeans quar-
relied over q division of labor, and a
bloody row occurred. Tho most tragic
suicides out of % in one week, directly
the result of hard times, are: +. w. Will
son, the biscuit manufacturer Of Bris-
bane, shot himself; William O'Connor,
lodger in the European hotel, Melbourne,
jumped from the fourth story and dashed
his brains out on the pavement; Kate
Brooks, a pretty English girl, starving,
got drunk and killed herself with poison;
Joseph Bancroft, q miner out Of work,

a cartridge in his mouth.-San Francis

pressed a desire to have it, and as they
