High life in London is no more apt
to be thrown into a furry OF excite
ment by fanciful rumors than to be
shocked by commonplace immortality.
But the drawing-rooms and the clubs
have had no sensation like this for
months, nor have they been so wrought
up.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Horse and Rider Went over "a Cliff
Man WAS Not Hurt.


Man Was Not Hurt
The most miraculous escape from in
slant death | witnessed during my resi-
dence on the Pacific coast occurred a
short distance below Asotin, over TWEEN
ty-five years ago, but the incident is
as fresh in my memory as if it had
occurred yesterday, says a writer in
the Washington Sentinel.
Billy Critics, cowboy, undertook to
ride a wild horse brought in from the
range. The animal was first thrown,
blindfolded and then the bride and
saddle were put on. the latter girdled
tightly. Then the horse was let up.
Billy got into the saddle and the blind
was removed. The bronco remained
quiet until it's TANKS were touched by
the riders spurs. The horse com
menced TO buck" and. after going
through the first part OF the perfor-
nance. started off on a dead run down
the trail along the Snake river. A
short distance below Howard's ferry,
al the place now known as the Red
point. the horse gave another squirt OF
"bucking" and leaned from the point
into the river below, distance OF hfty
feet or over.
At that time there was only mar
row path leading around the point
instead of a good. plain wagon road, as
to-day. When miners and prospectors
came to this place in the trail they
generally dismounted and walked ana
led their horses around the dangerous
Mace Critics horse was almost in
stantly killed by the fall. but Billy es-
capped without a scratch. When the
men arrived they found him on the
shore trying to fish out the dead horse
TO recover his saddle and bride, ana
this was soon accomplished when as
sistance came.

grander than any that has ever fallen
to the lot of any American-notning
less, in fact, than a match with British
royalty in the person of the Princess
Victoria, the only unmarried daughter
of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Insensate as it may appear at first
sight. the possibility of Mr.. Astors be-
coming a grandson-in-law Of Queen
Victoria. the matter is very seriously
discussed as not at all unlikely
project in the drawing-rooms of May
fair, in clubdom and in court circles.
And let IL be understood right at the
very outset that there Is nothing what
soever in the English constitution or
law to stand in the way of such an
alliance.
One of Queen Victoria's daughters,
the charming Princess Louise, is mar
ried to a commoner, her husband, Lord
Lorne, being only accorded the title of
marquis by courtesy and being nothing
more than mere John Campbell, Esq,
in the eyes of the law.
Indeed. in every official document on
which his name figures he is always
described as John Campbell, COM
monty called the Marquis of Lorne."
Moreover, the husband of the eldest
daughter OF the Prince and Princess
of Wales, although he is now noble
man by reason of the dukedOm of Fife,
conferred upon him by the queen or
his wedding day, can scarcely be con-
sidered an aristocrat, since he figures
in the peerage as a great-grandson OF
that Mrs. Jordan who was the flair
friend" of King William w., after hav-
ing. as Dolly Bland" been one CT
the most notorious women in London.
