Albany. N. Y, Dec. 27.-The state de-

themselves in a predicament that seems
to foreshadow failure to convict.
When the recent court order was pro-
mulgated, giving the state counsel the
right to examine the books of the var

conviction of the Armours would be
easily accomplished. 1t was found,
however, that the same court order re-

cOmpels the commissioners of agricul-
ture and the state counsel to prosecute
the suits, of which there are a score. in
the counties in which the violation is
said to have occurred.
This would mean endless litigation
without much prospect of result. Some
time ago the Armour people sought to
make an agreement with the state
authorities, whereby if the suits were
dropped, they would agree to pay
certain amount and promise not to de-

IT'S MISS WANAMAKER
With Whom the KhediVe's
Brother is Said to Be
infatuated.

New York, Dec. IA beautiful
American girl is being used as an inHO-
cent factor in a plot to dethrone the
Khedive of Egypt and forever wreck
the present hopes of the Khedive's
brother and heir apparent, Mahomet
Ali. The authority for this statement
IS John Wanamaker, eX-pOStmaSter
general of the United States. The
American girl is his daughter, Lille.
For months passed rumOrs have
found their way to the United States
from time to time that the royal dy
nasty of Egypt, or what was some day
likely to be the royal dynasty, was
about to link its fortunes with one of
the beauties of America. The person
in whom the blue blood of Egypt is
centered, who cast upon an American

the capital of Egypt, has recently made
public announcement that Mahomet
Ali, heir to the throne, was engaged to
a Miss Wanamacher" of America.
The Khedive promptly sent forth a de-
nial Certain Egyptian newspapers
published the denial with doubts and
commented on MahOmet Ali's devoted
attentions to Miss Wanamaxer in Paris.
The news travelled to the American col
Ony and found its way to the French
newspapers. Mr.. Wanamaker prompt
ly denied that Miss WanamakeF had
any more than a friendship for the
young Egyptian, and, in explanation,
Mr.. Wanamaker revealed the astonish-
ing fact that his daughters acquaint-
ance with the heir apparent of Egypt
had been seized upon as an instrument
to discredit and destroy the future
hopes Of MahOmet Ali. While express
ing great respect for the young Egyp-

such a marriage was utterly beyond the
possibility of human reason. MahOmet

him well. 1t was in Paris. so the story
goes. that he first met Miss Lille

Captain Andrews. who is to be the

performed in 1878 and again in 1892.
Captain Andrews says:
Incredible as it may seem, next year
we are really going to walk and sail
down Boston harbOr, out on the ocean
and over to HavTe, France, through
the great bore of the river Seine and on
up to Paris, to be there to attend the

The shoes of Mr.. OldrieVe are the
most wonderful part OF the whole af-
fair They are a pair of cedar boxes
five feet long. with fins on the bottom
and sides They are very light and
capable of sustaining 140 pounds, but,
as Oldrieve weighs only 130 pounds. they
are as good to him as q steamers deck.

PIN PRICK KILLED HIM.
4 Hospital Physician Loses His
Life From Blood Poisoning.

ST. Louis, Dec. 27.-Dr. Felix G.. Allen
of Oran, Mo, died yesterday afternoon
at st. Mary's Inhrmary, on Papin
street.
His death was caused by one of the
most vicious attacks of blood poisoning g
on record. So swiftly did the poison
spread through the system that the
house surgeons could find no place on
his body to operate.
DR.. Allen came to st. Louis and ST.
Marys 1nfirmary about two months
ago. He wanted the practical expert
ence which can be had nowhere outside
a hospital, and for two months he had
been acting as a sort of general assist
ant to the surgeons at the Infirmary.
A week ago yesterday a prominent
railroad official was admitted to the
hospital. The sweet-faced and gentle
hearted young nun who had charge of
the door and the office last night re-
fused to give his name His blood was
bad, and his arm was in such condition
that the trained nurses were shocked
at its appearance. He was suffering
from blood poisoning.
When this railroad man was first ad-
mftted DR.. Allen helped bandage his
poisoned arm. A pin from the bandage
the man was wearing pricked DR.. Al
lens flesh. He paid no attention to it..
That night DR.. Aliens arm, where the
pin had pierced it, began to swell. By
morning both arms and legs were af-
fected. Then his death was only a
question of time. The end came yes
terday afternoon. The death certif-
icate puts the cause of death as septic
fever.
The doctors body was shipped last
night to Oran, where it will be buried.
