A Spanish lady-a widow she had
represented herself, and had been a

ever suspected her Of being aught than
what she seemed, until one day I
was ordered to arrest her as a muir

1t was now alleged that the young
beauty was no other than the woman
who had poisoned her husband In Ha-

immense reward was offered for her

er-mad, says a letter from Niagara
Falls, and no wonder, for each day as
It passes but adds to the certainty that
wealth far greater than any to be
wreSfed from the Klondike's frozen
sands Is to be gotten out of Niagara's
green waters by those who have dared
10 harness the worlds greatest cata-
ract. The most marvellous dream of the
age Is being realized in the ,quiet-look-
ing, gray power house that stands q
mile or two above the falls. Three
enormous dynamos, each weighing
many tons and whirllng along at the
rate Of $50 revolutions a minute, are
constantly transforming water power
equal to that of 1900 horses into the
inexplicable thing we call electric en-
ergy. But this is only beginning.
On both sides OF the river men are
steadily ut work in the sunlight by day
and in the mystic currents glare by
night, making ready for the produc-
ton Of nearly forty-fold more power.
By tomorrow. so to speak, enough
force will be had from the rushing
water to turn every wheel in every
factory In every city of the Empire
state, including the Greater New York
itself. When the work now in progress
is done, the total output win be as fol-
lows:

mel. 1901 horsepower.
To be developed in the second tun-
mel mot yet built. 10000 horsepower.
To be developed in the three Cana
dian tunnels, $4,000 horsepower.
To be developed by the Hydraulic
Power Company. 10000 horsepower.
Total, 10000 horsepower.
The real meaning Of these figures is
not clear until il is remembered that
Lowell, Massachusetts,. famous the
world over as q manufacturing town,
came into being because it was posi-
bic to develop II, S45 horsepower from
the waterfalls within its bounds; that

ROYAL MATCHMAKING.
The Remarkable Success In That Lac of
Queen Louise OF Denmark.

The Remarkable Success In That Lac OF
Queen Louise of Denmark.
Denmark is a small country which
does not have a large part in the
worlds affairs. but its court is an i'm
portant one by reason of its marriage
alliances and the personal influence of
the king and queen, says the Youths
Companion. Whenever there is a court
ball at Copenhagen one of the liyeliest
dancers is King Christian TX, who Is
still young at heart. although close to
his eightieth year.
his wife, Queen Louise, Is his senior
BY several months. and has ceased to
dance n the royal quadrilles. She
mas been one Of the most successful
matchmakers in Europe. and still
takes keen interest in this royal
sport.
For her eldest son. the crown prince,
the queen found a suitable partner
nearly 80 years ago in Princess Louisa,
daughter of the king of Sweden and
Norway. Her eldest daughter be-
came the princes of Wales. and
her second daughter the wife Of Alex
ander III. and mother Of the present
car Of Russia Her second son, after
his election as king Of Greece, mar
ried a Russian grand duchess. With
one grandson on the Russian throne
and another the duke of YORK, destined
to reign in England, and two other
grandsons heirs to the crowns Of Den
mark and Greece. Queen Louise may
be described as the grandmother Of
four emperors and kings. Two other
marriages this adroit matchmaker has
arranged. Her third son, Prince Wal
demar. married Princess Marie dor
leans, daughter of the Due de Char
tres, and her third daughter became
the wife Of the duke Of Cumberland,
a great grandson Of George III Of
England, who might have been king
OF England il Queen Victoria had died
In her girlhood. These were marriages
which brought great fortunes to the
Danish family, for the Orleans princess
was an heiress. and the duke Of Cum
Oerland was also rich. Queen Louise,
having married on all her children
with marked success, has begun to ar
range a new series of alliances for her
Her theory has been
hat the reigning house Of a feeble
country like Denmark can be convert
ID into a center of influence in Eu-
'ope by discreet but ambitious mar
'iages. She acted upon this principle
when she advised her grandson, the
.rown prince of Greece. to marry a
lister Of the German emperor. The
queen is not only a matchmaker, but
Llso a woman Of great force Of charac-
er, and a good mind. Her influence
