talent and artistic procliyities. The
princess Of Wales, like every other
right-minded English lady at the head
of a household, has diligently taken
her family to church-at Sandringham
to the parish church, in London, not
only to the chapel royal, st. James,
but also to Berkeley Chapel, Mayfair,
of which Rev. Teignmouth Shore is
the incumbent, and 1t was he who was
selected to instruct the princess in
the principles of the Christian faith.
All three princesses are very fond of
animals and of flowers, and take al
most as much interest In the kitchen
garden at Sandringham as in the flower
beds. They have their special pets
among the dogs and birds and horses"
Archibald Philip Primrose, earl of
Rosebery, is nearly As years old. 1t
was sixteen years ago last Tuesday
that Rosebery, already one of the most
popular men in England, was married
to Miss Hannah de Rothschild, who
was not only very wealthy, but was
also known as a charming and excel
lent woman. When Rosebery was 80
years old he had made his mark in
several departments of life Shortly
after he left Oxford, and when he
was still boy, he became the owner
OF racing stable and devoted his at
tention to improving the breed of Eng
llsh horses. After few years ex-
perience of the ways and means of the
turf he sold most of his stud and
took to political life. His first public
appearance of any Importance was at
GLASGOW, where, as president of the
Social Science association, he deliv-
cred an address which amazed the
members OF the association by his
ability, versatility and knowledge, and
gave promise of an important future.
People wondered how so much varied
information and such mature judg-
ment could coeXist with juvenile ap-
pearance and q love of field sports
and other frivolities. He was then
% years Of AEGEAN age which in Eng
land, in nine cases out of ten, is lit
tie more than boyhood. His subse-
quent brilliant career as one Of the
foremost liberals In Great Britain is
we'll known. 1t is only a few days
ago that he became the premier of
England upon the resignation of Mr.
Gladstone. Rosebery is II happy, off
hand speaker, and his ability, geniality
and good sense have made him one of
the most popular men in the country.
His wife died in 1890, leaving four
children, all of whom are now living.

A ROYAL BRIDE.
Rosebery's Marriage to the Princess
Maud Said to BE Certain.

London, March 23.-1t is learned from
an authoritative quarter the queen and
the prince of Wales have given their
consent to the marriage of Premier
Rosebery to Princess Maud of Wales,
and the official announcement may be
expected any day. This was the bust
ness which caused Rosebery's urgent
summons to the queens presence on
the Saturday before the announcement
of Gladstone's retirement and the mys-
FERROUS bnobbing of the ministers on
the Sunday following. How the radi-
Gals will relish the leadership of the
prince of Wales son-in-law, who will
presumably be peculiarly susceptible
to court influence, remains to be seen.
Princess Maud, or Harry" as she is
often called ut home, was said, awhile
ago, to be growing prettier every day
and more like her royal mother. She

Terre Haute, Ind, March 26.-H. ID.
Emerson, Of Cincinnati, has been look

to obtain information regarding the
Indiana Coal and Railway company.
1t is said that in 1881 II concern of

Struction Il road from Terre Haute

Attidavits are on record made by
George w. Stanton and II. Walter
WOollctt, of New York, before Charles

he was state commissioner Of Indiana.
Records fail to show that Indiana
ever had Il commissioner named Net
