Wanda Von Speno Bodenback.

New York, August 27.-Wanda Von Speno Bodenback, claiming to be the niece of Christina, queen regent of Spain, the Bar- oness and Viscountess of Spierenbergh and possible heir to the throne and sole heir to fortune of 2O,OO0OOO francs, is dead in New York.
 Baron F. De Lange of Austria is author ity for this statement. He visited the Thir- ty-seventh street police station and exhib- tied certificate signed by pr. R. McGregor to4the effect that Wanda Von Bodenback had died of heart disease Saturday ynorn- ing. The baron explained to the police that two days ago he actually met with Wanda Won Spieno starving on the streets of New York.
 The story he told was to the effect that the parents of the girl, who was IS years of age, betrothed her from infancy to an old man. She ran away with a handsome young man, a member of one of the royal families of Russia. In this city her lover deserted her. Not understanding English and unable to make a living, she slowly starved to death. The Baron de Lange says the girl died of a broken heart. She had been so weakened by her terrible ex- perience that she could not stand the or deal of meeting her old friend.

 There were number of professional mule "packers' along who were connected with the brigade headquarters.
 It is almost impossible to carry army stores in wagons in roadless Cuba and nearly all freight has to be packed" OH mule-back. All the troops who went to Cuba and all who were expected to go, were literally provided with men whose business it was to load the mules.
 The best packers in the country come from Arizona where transportation by mule back is nearly the only kind known. Roose- welt brought about 400 of them with his regiment when he came from Texas and they were distributed around with all the brigades then in Florida. The government recognizes the value of these skilled pack CTS and even the poorest of them are paid $50 a month, with all expenses. Expert wagoners and trainmen receive all the way up to S100 a month. They are not enlisted in the army as the soldiers are, but arc classed as civilians.

RESTRAINTS FOR THE OFFICES

The general assembly will meet this year on November 15, and not on November s, as has been erroneously stated by num- Der of newspapers of the state. The code provides that both houses of the legisla- ture shall assemble on Tuesday after the second Monday in November of every second year, and the only date according to the calendar of 1898, that meets this re- quirement is November 15
 Considerable interest attaches always to the selection of officers and clerical as sistants for the house and senate. There are invariably several times as many as pirants as there are places to be filled. The positions are not desired so much for the remuneration they carry with them, for that is small, but because the officers and clerks of the assembly come in con tact with almost all of the public men of the state in the course of session, and the opportunities offered for building up political fences are excellent.
