answered. Il am waiting for Dick Rob

The depot usher hurried on and paid
no more attention to the little Old Wum-

with the black fan. Has your friend

I'm here, and I've got three jars Of

The depot usher helped the little old
woman to a seat in the waiting room,
and her he searched the directory for
Richard Robinson. His charge couldn't
help him much, because she didn't know
Dicks occupation.

CLEVELAND, O., November THE
most remarkably and savagely personal
congressional campaign in the history
of Ohio closed in the 9th district with

city. Tom L. Johnson, the democratic
candidate, has, to quote his own Ian

although the district gave Mckinley
nearly 1000 plurality last fall, the most
confident supporters of T. E. Burton,
the republican candidate, are not

Johnson says he will be elected by
1900. George Groot is the populist can

agree that upon the size of his vote de-

Groot will not poll more than $500.
Republicans assert that he will get

this noon about the court house, caused
by the arrest of a crowd of drunken
colered women. The trouble commenced
with a fight in the ne~ighborhOod of the
market house. The chief of police was
the only officer present and the crowd
was more than he could handle, 80 he
had to deputise some of the citizens.
When the officer started to the lock up
with the prisoners, some two or three
negroes attemted to prevent the officers
from doing their duty, but other citizens
came 10 the rescue and the prisoners
were finally jailed. One of the negroes
who ~iuIerfered with the officers was al
rested and when he was searched a loaded
pistol was found on his person. The
officers are after the other men who
tried to release the prisoners and they
will soOn be jailed.

PRINCESS CoLONNA LOSES.
The French Court Denies Her a Separation
and Grants the Husband Custody of
Their Chtldrsn,


Their Children. ..-.
PARIS, Feb. 15.-Judgment was handed
down to-day in the case of Princess
Colonna, who instituted proceedings here
to obtain judicial separation from her
husband.
The Judgment dismisses the demand of
the Princess for separation on the ground
that Prince Colonna is all Italian subject
and therefore outside the jurisdiction of
the French courts The court saySthat in
suit of this kind the Prince is actionable
only in Naples and that it will be neces-
sary Tor the courts in that city to settle
the question of the temporary care of the
children OF the marriage pending final
decision there in the matter.
The order appointing the Princess tenn
porary guardian of the children is with
drawn, and the Prince is ordained to be
their guardian. 1t is ordered that all the
children be placed in the care Of their
aunt. Princess Stigliano of Naples.
Princess Colonna will be allowed to visit
them on Sundays and Thursdays, from 9
to o'clock in the afternoon.
1t is further ordered that the children be
handed over to the Prince within "a hours
and in the event of failure to comply
with this order the Princess will be fined
800 francs daily for three months. If at
the end of three months she continues to
disobey the order the court declares that it
will take stronger measures to enforce its
mandate.
The Princess is condemned to pay the
cost of the action. The order of the court,
however, will not be obeyed. Princess
Colonna. accompanied by her three chill
dren arrived in New York at the begin
ming of this week, aud it would therefore
be an impossibliity, even were she so in
clined, to hand the children over to the
Prince in the time ordered by the court.i
