OBEYED HER HEART.
Princess Chimay-Caraman's Excuse
for Her Escapade

BRUSSELS, AIN. 3.-Writing to
Brussels newspaper, the Princess of
Chimay- -Caraman, formerly Miss Clara
Ward, of Detroit, protests against the
press campaign of publicity and cal
umny nico injection with her elopement
with the Hungarian gypsy musician,
Janesi RIGGS. The princess says
American children are educated with
a view to asserting their independence,
and, when necessary, Drawing the
worlds prejudices and calumnies That.

can girl from the possibility of falling
into error. I drifted with the fashion.
debating union between nobility and
wealth. Chicago heiresses are re-
preached with the pursuit of cornets.
Surely this is better than pursuing a.
dot. Having recognized my error, and
my heart having spoken, two courses
were open to me, namely ,adulterous hy-
pocrisy, or leaving the marital domi-
cile."
The princess then concludes: II
chose the latter, fully recognizing to
what I exposed myself. The divorce
law was not made for nothing, and my
position will eventually be legalized,
my marriage with RIGGS being only a
question of time"

CHICAGO is AT SEA.
Heavy Rain Flooding the Lower
Parts of the City.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3-The continuous
rain of today, following without inter
mission the dOwnpour of the two pre-
yious days, caused deluge which has
rarely been experienced in Chicago and
Cook county. In the midst of the city,
where the drainage facilities were in
better shape, not much inconvenience
was felt, but in the outer districts the
streets looked more like ponds than
thOrOughfareS, and many Easements
were flooded. Outside of the city many
roads were in an impossible condi-
ton, and the fields were covered with
large eXpanSes of water. The Des-
PLANES river, the Illinois & Michigan
canal, and the drainage canal were
torrents In a number of localities the
former burst over it's banks and flooded
: the surrounding country. South EngIe-
wood was almost submerged today,
sidewalks were covered with water and
easements flooded, but no very serious
damage was done. In the stock yards
region the same condition existed
The pumping works at Bridgeport
were forced to shut down the drama ge
canal being so full Of water that 1t was
found impossible to force it back. AS
result the current of the river was
turned toward Lake Michigan and all
the impurities of the stream were emp
tied in the direction of the source of
Chicago's water supply
The condition of affairs at Summit
was alarming. The water of the Des-
PLANES river tonight rose to within two
feet Of the top of the dam and it was
feared If the water continued to rise
1T would overflow into Ogden's ditch
and both streams would pour toward
Chicago. At midnight it looked as if
the water might break it's banks at any
moment. At Lemont things looked
equally serious. At late hour tonight
it was feared that the Illinois and
Michigan canal would leap it's banks
and sweep away the lumber yards To-
Gated there. That portion of the coun-
try north Of Lemont known as the
Flats" was flooded for miles. The rain
turned to snow about midnight. the
weather suddenly turning cold.

agreed not to combat any such move
ment. The friends of Mr.. Dean insist
that one of the most potent factors
in the various Vaccinations which have
yet borne fruit has been the determina-
tion of the members of the house,
seemingly, to organize with all the old
staff. The ambition of Mr.. Dean to be
chief clerk in stead Of first assis tant
somewhat spoiled this plan, the break
being filed by the candidacy Of w. B.
Slime. of Murray county, who wanted
the place. Mr.. Stine was unanimously
indorsed by the Second district in it's
caucus Saturday night. and it remains
to be seen how cordially the Second
will receive the advances Of Mr.. Deans
friends today.
