the favOrite daughter Of the Prince, the
Princess Maud Of Wales, viii be married
to Prince Karl, OF Denmark, a grandson Of
the old King OF Denmark.
This marriage is another feather in the
cap OF the King and Queen Of Denmark
They are credited. and not without reason,
with being the boss matchmakers of Europe
One Of their daughters married the late

KNOWN AS MISS MILLS.
Besides bearing the name Of Harry In the
royal family, the Princess IS also known
as Miss Mills. In order to avoid the GER
emory which must inevitably attend the
dOings OF princess, she has made visits
to country houses under this name. and
insists that her hosts and their visitors and
servants should regard her as an untitled
young woman. This was, no doubt pleas
ant for the Princess for after few years
experience it must be rather Weari6Ome to
have nobody speak until you start the con
versauon. and nobody do anything until you
give them permission. AS Miss Mills she
made many friendships, and it is said that
many young Englishmen have lost their

Princess Harry rides, drives and skates
with much skill, and is proficient in other
athletic sports, but does not shoot. She
is particularly clever with her hands, being
able to carve wood to make pipes and to
work little things in copper and bronze.
She also stuffs and mounts birds
Pipe making is said to be the gift Of
which she is proudest. She has presented
pipes handsomely carved by her own hands
to several Of her two or three hundred
cousins One which she gave to her cousin,

pected. then the fact that he was ignored
and passed in silence by those who hat
for years been his friends, and then the
swallowing of the laud anum.
| Tuthe was very sensitive old fellow.
He chafed under the thought that after a
long life passed honestly he should find it
necessary to accept the charity of the
county. When tc this was added the
contumely of being suspected as thief it
was too much. A witness named Nc
Govern told the sad story by degrees as
Coroner Baldwin questioned him.
Heft had told McGoyern all about the
alleged plot to procure that $50 piece from
the neck OF the corpse as soon as death
had come, and later in the day when Ne
Govern and Tuthe met the former had no
word or look of recognition for the latter.
Another circumstance seemed to operate
against Tuthe. A few days previous to
his taking his life a friend sent him So,
and the possession OF this money seemed
TO strengthen the case against the old man.
1t was Tuesday evening when McGovern
passed Tuthe without recognizing him.
and the same night the old man procured
two ounces of laudanum and swallowed it.
He was discovered some hours later, but
life was too near the end to be recalled
and he died the following day.
.Tuthe was 70 years of age, and had been
well off at one time in his lie.

BEAUTY, NOT COSTUME.
The Riley Face Admired More Than
the Dillingham; Dress.

the Dillingham; Dress.
OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 27.-Mrs. Dill
lingham, Miss Minnie Riley and that
mask dress ball are the sole topics OF con-
versation in North Oakland, Golden Gate,
Emeryville and Lorin. The quarrel that
has shaken society in that neigh borhood
may yet end in bloodshed.
The matter has now taken q personal
turn, and the ladies have been led from
costumes to physique and from physique to
personal looks and beauty. The latest
feature must be regarded as the danger
point, as both ladies are very attractive.
Miss Riley says she won the prize with
Mrs. Dillingham's dress, but it was the
Riley beauty and not the Dillingham; mode
that captured the judges.
Now comes Mrs Dillingham; and contra
diets the beauty part of the story, and her
argument on that point seems TO be con-
elusive. She says:
with regard to the statement that Miss
Riley claims she won the prize throne n
her beauty and the manner in which
she displayed the dress there is not a word
of truth in it and it is absurd. Neither OF
US could have put forward our looks be-
fore the prizes were awarded, as a mask
had to be worn until after the merits OF
the costumes were passed upon."
week ago the residents of Golden
Gate passed and published a set of resolu-
tions relating TO the character of one of
their young men who, it IS claimed, had
been lied astray into matrimony by the
wies of young widow" and now it is
proposed to handle the mask-ball matter
officially as town.
