Romance Links the Names of Prince
COIOnna and Miss Moran.

Richmond. Va, Jan. 1S.-There is a
fiutter of excitement in Richmond society
over the rumor that pretty Miss Eleanor
Berger Moran has won the heart and

the Prince has asked to dedicate one of
his poems to the tair Virginia girl, and
has invited her mother to bring her

ter. They will remain here until spring,
when they will sail for Europe, sCending
most of their time in Paris.
Last summer Miss Eleanor Mora n was a
reigning belle at Newport and Nnrragun-
sett, where she was introduced To many
society people. Through mutual friends
Prince Fabien Colonna saw the picture of
the younger Miss Moran and fell in iove
with it. He expressed desire to meet
the beautiful girl whose picture expressed
so much loneliness of person and charac-
ter. The Prince, who has some fame as
litterateur, and has been selected as
poet laureate Of the Paris Exposition in
1900, asked the privilege OF Mrs. Moran
to dedicate one of his poems TO her
daughter. This is called "White Girl.

SUICIDES INSURANCE.
United States Supreme Court De-
clare ii Not COIIeCtible.

Washington. Jan. 1S.-In the United
States supreme court to-day Justice Har-
Ian handed down an opinion in the case
of ~. Howard Ritter, executor of Will
liam NJ Runk, VS.. the Mutual Life In
suran:e Co., of New York, involving the
question of whether the heirs of man
who commits suicide when in sound
mind can recover an insurance policy.
The court held that they could not.
1t appeared from the facts stated that
Mr.. Runk, Il resident of Philadelphia,
committed suicide within less than year
after increasing his insurance to the eX-
tent of 5000, Quo, making an aggregate
insurance Of $500, 600 upon his life of
the 5000, 600 the New York Company car
red .S95, 600, which iC refused to pay on the
ground that Runk was sane when he took
his life. II was shown in the trial court
that he had written II letter the dav be-
fore his death stating tina, it was his pur-
pose to nut IAN end to his life ~ that his
life insurance money could be collected
for the payment OF his debts
In deciding the case Justice Harlan
said that " hen AN insurance company en-
tered into Il contract to insure n mans
life neither party to the contract could be
ton, aud it was not intended in entering
into such y contract that the life of the
person Insured should be at the option Of
either of the parties. In fixing the pre-
MUM the company would naturally take
into consideration the circumstances
bearing UPON the duration of life, and no
company would undertake 10 insure
against suicide. If any should make
such AN attempt it would. he said, be
against public policy and would not be
allowed. Concluding he said explicitly
that no insured person committing sni-
eide and found to be of sound mind could
recover upon this policy. The case came
to the supreme court from the circuit
court of appeals for the third circuit, and
that courts opinion was affirmed
