He was, until quite recently, First Sec
retary of the Turkish Embassy at st.
Petersburg. where year ago he met
Miss Collins, who was there on visit,
at the special invitation of the dow
ager Empress of Russia, to take charge

man of great power in Turkey, comes
Of noble Polish family who were ex-
lied during the great insurrection and
have since lived in Turkey.
The young diplomat was in especial
ly high favor with the present Emperor
Of Russia, and previous to his promo
ton in diplomacy he was entertained
ut dinner so frequently at the imperial
palace that at the time he was the
most talked OF man in Russia outside
of the imperial family.
Miss Collins Inherited a handsome
fortune from her mother, who died a
few years ago, which was largely in
creased on the death of her grandmoth-
er, Mrs. Robert Niven, which occurred
in Paris last June. Miss Collins has,
besides her beauty and wealth, many
accomplishments. She is versed in
French, Italian, German and Russian,
and is an artist of no small merit.
Count Czaykowski's attentions to
Miss Collins from the time OF their
first meeting have been most marked
and he has been received most cordi-
ally by her relatives in Paris, and by
her father, who was with Miss Collins
in Russia at the time of her first meet
ing with her fiance.
In all probability the wedding will
be celebrated in Paris during the lat
ter part of January. Mr. Collins will
sail early in the new year to be pres
ent at the wedding.

Washing Fine Uuderciothing.

Use one pound of dissolved soap in
four gallons of warm water, in which
well rinse the articles to be washed,
drawing them repeatedly through the
hand, wiring them as dry as possible
to remove the soap; rinse them again
briskly in clean lukewarm water;
Wiling and stretch them to their prop
er shape, and dry in the open air if
possible. The only effects of rubbing
are to shrink and destroy the material; ;
1t should therefore never be resorted
to. The material used in manufacture
ing silk underwear being an animal
product, IL Is absolutely necessary that
nothing but the best quality of soap
and warm water should be used All
kinds of washing compounds destroy
the nature of the material giving to
the fabric the appearance of poor cot
ton.

According to the New York Herald,
the engagement has been announced
in New York and Paris of Miss Edith
Lyman Collins, only daughter of Mr..
Clarence Lyman Collins, of New York
city, to Rechid Bey, Count Czaykowskl,
Councillor of State of the Turkish En-

Miss Collins, whose engagement to
her guardian, Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew,
was rumored without authority, is de-
scended from a long line of distinguish
ed American ancestors, among whom,
on her fathers side, were two Colonial
Governors-Governor William Brad
ford, of Massachusetts, and Governor
William Leete, of Connecticut. On her
mothers side Miss Collins is a great
granddaughter of Commodore Wander

CHICAGO. April IA special TO the Trf-
bune from Hot Springs says: There is an
imminent danger of a huge disruption in
the National League. The players are up
in arms against the magnates and are
openly talking OF a strike. The trouble has
arisen over the new contracts that every
player in the League signed this
spring. The change in the contract is small
and makes the pay of the players COM
mence April 10 instead of on April /, and
ends Oct. Is instead of Oct. /. The players
claim that the contract is framed TO rob
them. and that when they signed they did
not understand the full purpose of it. They
base their assertions on the ground that
in making the pay m April 10 the
young players are tried and work for moth
ing. where, under the old order. they would
have received fifteen days pay.
The men further claim that in adding
to the contract fifteen days in October the
magnates are perpetrating robbery in de-
priving them Of a chance to profit by a
mutual division of the spoils of a barn
storming trip. The players of the Chicago
team have been for three days discussing

money until May !. Arson says that he

STRAIN TOO GREAT.
Bicycle Riders Unable to Keep up the
Pace of the First Days.

WASHINGTON, April 1. The intense
strain has begun TO tell on the six-day BIZ
cycle race contestants, and Shoch and Law
son, the leaders have failed to keep up the
pace at which they began the race. Shoch,
who until the seventy-eighth hour of the
contest was smashing all previous time,
was at II o'clock tonight about sixty miles
behind Teddy Hale's worlds record. Drow-
siness has overcome him and three or four
times he wabbled on the turns, his pedals
struck the boards and he fell over on the
track. He has been off the track altogether
about twelve hours since the start. and
there is now no prospect that he will equal
Hale's score. His physical condition is gen.
orally good and he eats heartily. Lawson
has been on the track only fitfully during
the evening and he is suffering severely
from saddle soreness. Doubt is now eX-
pressed whether he will be able to finish
the race. AT IL o'clock he was off the track
for what was expected would be a long rest.
He now holds third place. Alberts, VINO has
passed Lawson, has been Off the saddle a
greater length of time, but he rides faster
and is in splendid condition. Golden is but
three miles behind Lawson and is riding
strong, with good prospects OF coming We'll
