4 Partisan Duchess Arrested for Soliciting
Aims on the Streets.
Countesses have been seen begging
on the public streets, and even an Eng
lish peerless, the marchioness of Done
gal, has been arrested by the London
police for mendicancy and vagrancy.
But France enjoys the distinction of
having produced the first duchess to
be arrested on a charge of begging. She
is the duchess of Albufera, whose hus-
band is grandson of Napoleon's field
marshal, Suchet, and herself grand
daughter of that duke of Cambaccres
who, after acting as Bonaparte's col
league in the directorate and in the
consulate, was afterward made arch
chancellor of the empire. She had
been specializing IN South African
mining stocks, and when the boom
collapsed the other day she found her
self with such heavy losses to face that
ruin stared her in the face. She be-
came temporarily insane, and, con-
vinced that she had reduced herself
and her family to absolute beggary,
she started out upon the streets to ask
aims. She is now under the care of
nurses. Prince Del Dargo, who was
here to attend the marriage of Miss
Anna Gould to Compile De Castellane,
is at length about to be placed in easy
circumstances. Of the $15,000,000 left
by his grandmother, old Queen Chris
tina of Spain, all except 100000 has
been eaten up by the lawsuit in which
the heirs engaged, but this is about to
be divided between Prince Del Dargo,
old Campo-Sagrado and the duke of
Taranches, thus placing all three be-
yond the necessity of selling or pawn
ing family jewels.
The duke of Tarances has in his
keeping a huge chest full of valuable
correspondence and papers belonging
to old Queen Christina, and which she
declared to be of so compromising a
character to her contemporaries that
she insisted that the box should not be
opened till the year 1910. 1t is possible
that when they are made public they
will throw light on those many mystic
rious stories current in court circles
in times gone by with regard to her
secret marriage with young English
painter while still princess of Naples
and prior to becoming the consort of
King Ferdinand of Spain. According
to several of these stories, Empress
| Eugene and her sister, the late duchess
of Alba, were the fruits of this secret
marriage and were confided by Queen
| Christina to Comptess de Montijo, her
first lady in waiting, to bring up as her
own children. Queen Christina was
unable to write or even read when she
came to Spain, and her ignorance was
something appalli4g. But she rode in
the most superb fashion and excelled
in all athletic exercises. This was due
to the fact that she had as governess an
English woman who, prior to becom-
ing governess to the three princesses
of Naples, had been u circus rider and
was sister of that stable boy, Ward,
who, entering the service of the duke
of Lucca, rose to be Baron Ward, gen
eral and prime minister, his daughter
| being the beautiful Marquise Hervey
| de ST. Denis, now one of the leaders of
Partisan society.-N. Y. World.

lcooN HUNTING IN NEW JERSEY.
How old Ike Martin and His Dogs Cato
the Game.

How Old Ike Martin and His Dogs Cato
the Game.
O1d-fashioned coon hunting is still
in vogue in New Jersey. Postmaster
Ayres, of Metuchen, and John Martin,
farmer. living near New Durham,
are among the leading sportsmen who
tree the sly animal.
1t is poor winter when they don't
capture score of these gamy rodents.
For many years John Martin has had
a champion breed of coon dogs that
sedan fail in their search or in kill
ing their quarry when the hunters
shake it down from the tree in which
the dogs have brought it to bay. With
two of these dogs Messrs. Ayres and
Martin set out the other day upon their
favorite quest. They had tried the
woods in vain, and attributed their
ill-fortune to the dry spell, which had
driven their game to other and better
watered regions. So they set out by
train for Monmouth Junction and Ike
Martin.
Now, Ike Martin is an old-time woods
man, a trapper as wise in woodcraft
and a shot as unerring as Natty Leath-
restocking himself. A short distance
from Monmouth Junction he lives a
hermit life in the woods, miles away
from the haunts of men, on a little
clearing, on which he raises garden
truck in summer-vegetabl so to
speak-but in winter, with gun and
dog and trap, he lives the life he loves.
Ike is in his S0th year, but he can fol-
low the deep bay of his dogs through
the woods for miles, and when they
have a freed a coon he can climb the
tallest tree like a boy and shake it
down among the dogs.
On this occasion Ayres and Martin
were guided to Ike's retreat, as they
had often been before, by the sound
of a quaint, old-fashioned tune on his
violin, which is his solace on every win
ter's night. They found him as eager
for the chase as any springal of 20,
and soon he had his best dog with
theirs on the runways. For the coon
no less than the deer has his accus-
toned paths, which the old hunter
knows. They set out about nine o'clock
at night, and inside of half an hour
they had freed coon, which, when Ike
had shaken off the highest limb, proved
/ % be tough old customer for the dogs;
and appeared, when they had finished
it, to be sO-pounder. After another
tramp through the woods the dogs
again gave tongue, and again Ike
climbed for his game and shook down
fat young coon that would make a
darky's mouth water to look at.
Although they found no more 'coons
that night the party secured a couple
of 'possums that would have made royal
side dishes for plantation Christmas
dinner, and they came home contented.
English hares are also abundant in
New Jersey. The English hare was
imported about IL years ago by Pierre
Lorillard, the tobacco millionaire and
famous horse-breeder. He put them on
his big Rancocas farm at Jobstown, in
Burlington county. They have thriven
amazingly and have spread all over the
state. Reports of their capture come in
from various quarters. Several were
killed last week in Hunterdon county,
and several more fell victims to the
sportsmen away up in Warren county,
at the upper end of the state.-Chicago

But afar off, the ardor OF his passion
grew, and he ragged exceedingly.
''Why should I thus dread mere
phantom % he asked Of himself. Il will
20 forth and do him BATTLE"
But as he drew near to his love the
ghostly thing was there, between them,
looking with weary eyes into the
depths of his soul. And ever the man
fed, affrighted.
One day the woman came to him.
Her face was radiant with love, and all
his soul leaped within him at sight of
her beauty.
''Why dost thou shun me thus?" she
murmured, laying her arm about his
throat. 10! [ have waited for thy
coming and hearkened for thy voice,
hut these things came not. Therefore
am I here, for great love drew me-"
And he, looking deep into her eyes,
found delight there, and laughed aloud
in his joy. Il was feared of a shape
that ever came betwiXt thee and me in
the hour of my approach" he said to
her.
And she laughed, asking: "What
shape?"
"a giant figure" he made answer.
" shat doomed over thee, shadowing thy
face, and upon it's brow was writ the
word Safety"
"Then keep thee from me, since thou
dreadst him, for he puts a mark on
woman's beauty in mems eyes, they
say" said the woman, gravely, though
methinks thou hadst little to fear
rom him, once thou hadst reached
me-" she added, proudly.
But she pondered.
And he, being mad with love and
enthralled by her witchery, caressed
her many times, praising her beauty,
and he abode with her. And she grew
even fairer in his sight, though in her
mirror she sometimes saw weary eyes
and a smile that was bitter, for his
words about Safety" had sunk deep
in her heart, and she was ever Watching
for the shape.
The days sped swiftly.
Once, in the dawn, he looked upon her
'snd noted a mark upon her beauty.
And waking her he asked:
what is this2"
And she, rising, sought her mirror,

Mr.. FIELDS FOR PRESIDENT
OF THE NATIONAL TRADESMEN's
BANK.

Promoted Yesterday at the Meeting of the
Banks Directors-C onnec ted With the
Bank for More Than Twenty five Years
Mr.. Andrew w. DeForest Chosen Vice
President.
William r. Fields, for many years
identified with the National Tradesmen's
bank in various capacities, rising stead
lily from the position of bookkeeper, to
which he was appointed in 1867, to those
of cashier and director, was yesterday
further elevated, this time to the post
of president, a position for which it is
conceded by all he is splendidly quail
fled by long, thorough conscientious
and able work in the service of this
prominent and influential banking in
stitution. Mr.. Fields promotion was
not unexpected by those conVers-
ant with banking matters. Possessed
with thorough equipment for the post
he is called to occupy, he is also widely
known as a genial, upright, conserva-
tive, yet progressive man. He began
with the bank as bookkeeper at the age
of twenty in '67 In 1880 he be-
came teller, and one year afterward
he was appointed assistant cashier, a
new position the directors created. He
| assumed the position of cashier in 1886,
succeeding the late Mr.. Butler, who had
become vice president Mr.. Butler was
raised from the vice presidency to the
presidency January 2, 1889, on the resig-
nation of President Matthew G. Elliott,
and since then the office OF vice pres1-
dent has been vacant.
The board of management also pre-
vailed upon Mr.. Andrew w. DeForest
to accept the position of vice president
of the bank. Mr.. DeForest is one OF the
founders of this bank and has been
one of it's directors since it's organiza-
lion. He is widely known in New Hal
ven and in the state as strong BUSH
ness man, gentleman of long and eX-
tensive experienced business and finan-
cial affairs. Upon the death of the late
Daniel Trowbridge he was prevailed
upon to accept the presidency of one of
our leading corporations, the New Ha-
ven Gaslight company, position he
still occupies.
The vacancy caused by the promotion
of Mr. Fields will be filled at future
meeting of the directors.
