 But then there is Miss Sloan, an im- mensey wealthy girl, and then there is Miss Van Allen, daughter of J. J. Van Alen of London and Newport. These young people have met often in society, and are all admirably eligible. Report has it that Miss Van Allen is engaged, but report is often at fault. There is no lack of heiresses from whom the nobleman can select, but the question Is to find one who will bring love as well as money to him. and one whom he can love as well as cherish.
 Perhaps the story will be over before the summer is over, for never were England and America nearer to each other than now When the duke touches these shores he will be received with open arms, and will be welcomed as a representative of a very friendly nobility, even without thought of the jeweled crown and the old and hand some estates that lie back of him.

 The young duke was born in the spring of 1877, and Is consequently just past his majority. He is mature for his age, and looks and acts much older than he is. AL though at an age when we would consider an American boy a fit subject for college honors, the young Duke of Manchester is, and has been for over a year, in the ma tri- monia1 market.
 He was introduced as such things go with young men, in London society year ago, and immediately all London began to sumably of his title It may be said, though, for his sake, that he is a big, handsome fellow, with very pleasant man. ner and fine address.

 Then there was a strong money argument The wea1shy Wilson's were said to be un- willing to provide for their daughter more than 15, ,O0O pounds year, and this the duke earnestly protested was insufficient for the style which she desired to maintain in Lon don. The figures were carefully gone over, and what, conclusions were reached can best be estimated by the fact that the duNe started upon a two years tour around the world, while Miss Wilson plunged into so- ciety.
 A GRAND CHOICE.
 Should the matter never be rearranged satisfactorily, what will the duke do? Will he turn again to Miss Goelet, will his heart respond to the beauty of some other American heiress--for an heiress she must be? And it is an often expressed wish of his mother that she should be an Ameri- can a girl from her own country Like the fire upon the hearthstone is the
 neighbor's homely daughter; Like the starlight moonlight firelight, is
 the handsomest of strangers"
 So, or nearly so spake the Indian who thought more of the commonest hearth stone than of the cold stars; and so speaks the heart of the American duchess in far England.
 And who is now to be selected by the duke? What suitable marriage could he make among Americas 400? Miss Virginia Fair, who is favorite from San Francisco to New York, has been out too many sea-

The attention Of the fremen was
first given 10 the house which was the
least damaged and they succeeded in
extingllshing the fire. The roof and
side OF the other house were burning
fiercely and the fremen had a hard
fight TO ge; the FIRE under control. The
roof was covered with corrugated iron
and as the fire had reached the boards
beneath Il, IL was necessary to remove
the iron covering before the water
could be turned on with effect. Several
OF the firemen were soon upon the ROOF
and with picks and axes removed IL
and the fire was then soon extin-
guished. Household effects from the
houses on fire and those in the immed-
late vicinity were removed and about
the only damage they sustained was In
handling them The house in which
the fire started was occupied by Chang
Kim. Attached 10 this house was a
small bed room, which Mr. Heen re-
served for the use Of his two servants.
The fire was first discovered in this
room and 1t is generally supposed that
children OF Mr.. Heen ignited the bed
clothes while playing in the room with
matches.
Mrs. Chang Kim was the first TO dis
cover the FIRE and Immediately tried
| TO telephone 10 the central station, but
was unable to get any response, the
! fire having burned the wires Off. She
then attempted to extinguish the fire
by using the garden hose. but the hose
being so short she was unable to ac-
complish anything. Mrs. Heen was
sick and in bed at the time and when
told that the house was afire Went in
TO mysteries and had TO be carried from
the house.
The loss Is fully covered by insur-
ance. Chong Chan. a clerk in the en-

TRAGEDY AVEkTED.
kexicans Tell Weird Story of Clpperton
 Island.

Mexico City, Jan. 3.-It turns out that there was likely to have been atragedy on Clipperton Island among the Americans en- gagged in taking out guano. Two of the five men on the island were living in mortal terror of the other three and were in fear of their lives, and just as matters were eliminating the Mexican gunboat arrived and the Americans begged Captain Genest to allow them to return to mainland with him, which he did. And had it not been for the humane act of the Mexican naval commander there might have been enacted on that lonely island a tragedy similar to some of those related in Stevenson's tales of the South Sea Islands.
 The rescued Americans feel very grateful to the Mexicans. There is no feeling here regarding the Clipperton Island incident. except that public sentiment sustains the government in asserting its territorial rights. The weather is quite cold in the valley of Mexico, and several poor people living in the Sierras surrounding the valley have been frozen to death.

 Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. 31, 1897. MT W. A. Turk, General Passenger Agent: Dear Sir: I notice that circular No 154. issued by MT. Joseph Richardson, of the Southeastern Passenger association, quotes rates only from limited territory to Bir- mingham and return,, while circulars Nos l52 and 155 quote rates to New Orleans and Mobile from entire Southeastern Passenger association territory.
 believe the Birmingham Mardi Gras is just as important to us as the New Or leans and Mobile Mardi Gras, and the prospects are that there will be about as large crowd at Birmingham as at Mobile and New Orleans this year from territory which comes under my observation. The Birmingham people have decided to make the carnival an annual event and we should not let them feel that we are giving New Orleans and Mobile greater favors than we give to Birmingham I would recom- mend. therefore, that we sell tickets from the entire Southeastern Passenger asso. citation territory the same as we did last year.

Washington, Jan. 3.-One of the most dangerous commercials ever discovered has made its appearance MT. John Cramer, of the sub-treasury at Philadelphia, today wrote to the secret service concerning one hundred counterfeit certificates, with head of President Monroe. Employees in the cash room were undecided as to their 1genuiness and only after the notes had been soaked in hot water when the two pieces forming the front and back of note came apart were they convinced of the fraud.
 On examination of the days treasury cash another of the spurious notes was uls- covered.
 The chief engraver at the bureau of en- graving pronounced the counterfeit a very dangerous production. It was engraved on steel and printed on two pieces of paper pasted together after colored silk fibre had been distributed between them.
 In view of the dangerous character of the counterfeit Secretary Gage today de- cided to stop issuing and to call in all sl0o silver certificates, of which there are about

 There is no favorable news from Fried richsruhe, although the alarming rumors were grossly exaggerated.

Dr. Chenninger has ex- pressed the opinion that Prince Bismarck's s gout is taking its normal course and will soon pass over.
