QUEER MUNICH HOTEL.
Run by Duke Theodore OF Bavaria on
Plan Peculiarly His Own.

Run by Duke Theodore OF Bavaria on .
Plan Peculiarly His Own.
A thousand years ago Benedictine
monks discovered a small sulphur
spring on a mountain near Munich.
They built hospital there that was
used by their order until 90 years ago,
when it was bought by King Maxi
milan, of Bavaria, who filed it with
poor sick folk, says the London Mail.
When the king died his grandson,
Duke Theodore, found that he had not
money enough to keep up his charity.
After long and anxious consultation
with his brothers the honest, kindly
prince erected new buildings and
opened the house every year for three
months as hotel. It was patronized
by many Of the royal and noble families
of Europe, though IL is free to every
conner who will conduct himself re-
specially and pay for his aocommoda-
tions. @
Duke Theodore provides the food
from his own farm, which he oversees,
while his brother, Prince Ludwig, acts
as host Of the hotel. All guests are re-
quested to leave on the last day Of Au-
gust. The house is then filled with
scores Of poor teachers, artists and au-
thors, invalid soldiers and poorly paid
clergymen, whom the royal brothers
have formally invited to honor them
with visit. The money made during
the summer is devoted to their enter
tainment. The duke and prince remain
In the house, layishine kindness and
courtesy upon their guests. - I.

is 10 count for anything.
LIS young v. oman is q most atrac-
tive creature, bright, pretty, amiable.
ANY man might lie proud to win her,
but no one has succeeded so far. She
has n married sister, however, and has
often expressed her fondness and adj
rri'1ation for her brother-in-law in en-
tuusiastic terms. All of which is part
of the story.
Not long ago the married sister had
serious illness and the young woman
cid large and devoted share OF the
nursing. Everything that skill and
medical care could devise was done for
the invalid, but she remained an invalid
III spite of all. Day after day she grew
feebler, and day after day she limited
more strongly that she was not long for
this world. The young woman, of
course, bolstered up her sister with en-
enlargement and tonics three times a
day, but the sister still insisted that it
wasn't any use. Finally she got to
7oint where she was so very low in her
mind that she called the young woman
to her bedside one day, and in voice
choEed with emotion she said:
Don't try to hide it from me any
longer, Gracei It's got to come, and I'm
reconciled-or hope am. But before
1 go I want you to promise me one
thing"
"Now, stop talking such nonsense"
gently chided the young woman.
YOU'RE going to be all right, soon. All
you need is another bottle of tonic and q
good brace"
The sister feebly shook her head.
"You mean it all right, but you don't
know. tell you that am going to die
and this is q dying request I have
to make of you" ... t..
woman, humoring her sister for the
time.
"It's-it's about Ned" beginning to
sob weakly. Ned was her husband, by
the way. 81 want-I want you-to look
after-him-ands see that-he isn't-oh.
too miserable, you know. Promise me
I ask it as-my last request-that
you-will look after-Nedl" and the
unhappy wife wept bitterly.
The young woman was really deeply
affected, but she had flash OF inspira-
ton and she said briskly, almost gayly:
Don't worry about Ned! I'll see that
he doesn't get out of the familyl"
The invalid started, dashed away her
tears and gazed at her sister as if she
could not believe that she had heard
Alright. .......
"What do you meani"' she demanded.
| "Ill keep him where can take care
Of him, dear. That1l be all right. Don't

The invalid stared for minute, then
she said, in a business-like tone:

Col. j. l.. Power has issued the follow
ing appeal for contributions to the Prot
estant Orphan Asylam at Natchez;
There are so many and pressing
claims upon the sympathy and aid of
communities afflicted by yellow fever,
that it is possible the needs of the or
phans in our different asylums may be
forgotten in these Thanksgiving times.
The special appeal that | make is for
the Natchez Protestant Orphan Asylum,
whose history and work is already so
well known to the people of this State.
The Thanksgiving otferingsof last year
and the contributions of the fraternal
orders have supported the asylum to
this time. but the treasury is again
nearly empty and the lady managers
and the children under their care are
getting anxious about coming support.
Let them be made to feel as in the past
that the Lord will provide therefore
suggest that a special collection for this
institution be taken up in all the
churches, Sunday schools, day schools,
colleges and lodges on Thanksgiving
day. or at least some other time before
the close of this month the amount con-
tributed to be sent direct to Mrs. Mary

Many OF the Larger Business Houses De-
stroy.d Loss. Estimated at S5,OOO,O0O.
MELBOURNE, Nov. GA great fire
broke out here at two o'clock yester-
day morning, and in very short space
of time did enormous damage. 1t
started at the warehouse of Craig
Williamson, in Elizabeth street, in the
very heart of the city. A strong wind
was blowing and the fercely famed
flames rapidly engulfed building after
building.
Despite the desperate efforts of the
firemen, the entire blocks bounded by
Elizabeth, Flinders and Swanston
streets, and Flinders lane, with the
exception of two buildings on the
Swanston street front, were destroyed
within three hours.
The burned section included many
of the largest business houses in Mel
bourne. The buildings were COM
plctely gutted as most of them con-
tanned soft goods, the flames progress
ing with u rapidity which detied all
checking, and in the furious wind
ashes and burning debris were carried
into the suburbs Il distance of two
miles.
1t is estimated that the loss will
reach S., 600, 900.

Penalties on a Shortage.

The Chancery Court of the Green
wood district has renewed a decree for
$4,000 against the bondsmen of J. L..
Sullivan, eX-sheriff of Leflore county,
in the suit brought against them for "a
shortage found in Sullivan's account as
county and State tax collector, by Capt.
Anderson, deputy State revenue agent.
Another decree was rendered by said
court against Sullivan's bondsmen as
levee tax collector for $1,000. The
shortage in Sullivan's accounts dates
back as far as 1891, and, while they
were not very large at that time, the 1C
per cent. per month and additional &c
per cent. per annum damages on the
principal has run the amount which his
bondsmen will now have to pay up tC
$4,000. Hon. H. A. Lewenthal, o.
Greenville, heard these suits as specia
chancellor, Judge Longino being ont
of the bondsmen. The bondsmen hav'
arranged to make settlement of thu
shortage and damages at once, but it i
a great hardship ON them.

PRACTICALLY DESTROYED.
Tho Everett u Montc Cristo Railroad
Washed Away.

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. -. - Supt.
Foster of the Everett Il Monte Cristo
railroad, who went to Monte Cristo oa
Wednesdays train, walked in from
Robe, arriving at Everett Saturday
night. He reports the damage to the
road by high water beyond computa-
tion at the present time. The water
in the canyon was many feet higher
than ever known before, washing the
entire track away About the only
evidence left that Il railroad was ever
built there are the six tunnels.
In all probability the road will not
be rebuilt through the canyons. The
Great Northern has about - miles of
road almost entirely destroyed. In
many eases the iron is washed away
and covered with sand. The road can
not be repaired before December Is.

cotton that Neill, the commission mer-

HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, Nov.
2l.-La Lucha, in recently published
editorial, expresses doubt as to the
sincerity of the friendship for Spain
professed by the American govern
ment, and says:
III the American government cannot
prevent the sailing from the ports of
that country of expeditions in aid OF
the Insurgents and does not respond
in other ways to Spain's efforts to
come to favorable terms, it is use
less for Spain to maintain friendly re-
lations with America"
Reports from Matanzas say that the
conservatives, having become enraged
at the change in the governments poll
ley, are disturbing public order. Ex-
Mayor Crespo initiated the disorderly
conduct by publicly giving offense to
Senior Armas, the new civil governor
of the province. The chief of police
followed Senor Crespo's lead by en-
deavoring to prevent aid being given
to the suffering reconcentrados ly
newspaper correspondents and others.
Of the reconcentrados in Matan-
zas, numbering more than 80, 900,
70 died in two days, 81 perishing from
hunger. Yesterday II deaths were re-
ported, a large proportion of which
were the result of starvation. In
Jaruce, about 90 per cent. of the
deaths are caused by starvation, and
the same is true Of many other towns.
Owing to the lack of proper clothing
and of blankets, the situation of the
reconcentrados is becoming worse as
the winter season approaches, despite
the efforts made TO relieve them.
Gen. Hernandez Velasco confirms
the statement that the insurgents in
Pinar del Rio are abundantly supplied
