him a prisoner in Paris for many
! years. After his restoration he was in
a continual turmoil of political dissen-
sions and difficulties within his own
country, and his domestic relations
were no more peaceful. Within thirty
years he married five wives in success
sion. Princess Christina of Naples,
sister of King Bomba, was his last
wife. She bore a daughter to the hith-
erto childless king, and, being a wom-
an OF considerable strength of charac-
fer and personal beauty, gained almost
boundless sway over her husband. The
heir apparent had been on bad terms
with his brother for a long time. He
had sided with the absOlutist party
when the king had been with the con-
stitutionalists, and had even headed
an instruction in Catalonia with the
avowed object of deposing the king.
Queen Christina saw that the days of
her WORKOUT husband were near an
end, and sought to prolong her position
inducing him to disinherit his brother
in favor of his infant daughter. For
the last three years of the wretched
kings life the contest ragged between
the partisans of the queen and those
of the priesthood. The salic law first
stood in the way of her ambition, but
the cortes, in which the constitutional
party had a majority, dreaded the ac-
cession of an absolutist prince and re-
pealed the law. The king, however,
who, according to the state of his
health, alternated between submission
to his wife and dread of the church.
was harassed with the qualms of con-
science as to the expediency of chang
ing the succession. Time after time
he changed his mind until at last the
queen triumphed. According to the
Carlist opinion, the dying wishes of
the king were wilfully disregarded, and
the documents which would have es-
tablished Don Carlos right to the
throne were suppressed by fraud or vi
plence. At any rate, upon the death

Montgomery county, Illinois, the suit
Of Miss Clara B. Hamilton against
Henry Heston Thacker for breach Of
promise of marriage came to close

verdict of $1,000 damages. The amount
sued for was 100000 Both parties are

1894 Thacker boarded with Miss Ham

trict school. He wooed and won Miss
Hamilton, and their engagement last

day set for the wedding.
A few days before the wedding day
Thacker attended an old settlers meet

night he was found lying in his broth

this city apparently unconscious. He
was seemingly Ill for two or three
weeks, and on his recovery denied all
knowledge or recollection of his en-
gagement with Miss Hamilton. After
several weeks no admitted his engage
ment, but made no explanation of his
condition except that his physician had
advised him not to marry. During the
trial many of his letters were read, in
which he addressed Miss Hamilton in
the most endearing terms. In one he
begged for pie made wholly of kisses,
and in others addressed her as his wife.
Great interest was manifested in the
trial, the courtroom being constantly

Broke Up the Game.

Two popular society young ladies
of this vicinity have for some time
had serious differences over a promi-
nent young man. They were advised
by their friends that dueling among
ladies was not good form, so they de-
cided to settle the matter with the dice,
though the method seemed trivial. One
of the contestants had thrown four
skies and her countenance plainly in
dictated that she expected to win. The
other had thrown once, with pair Of
fives, when the aforesaid young man
appeared unannounced upon the scene.
The pair of fives looked so small in
comparison with the four skies, while
to the fair gamblers the young man
looked the same as he ever did, and at
sight Of him her courage failed her and
she cast the dice box from her. The
game was not finished-neither is the
conquest.

One Of the great troubles that rail-

with in the past with both the old
style and the new NJ. G. B. couplers
was the falling of drawbacks on the
tracks, resulting many times in disas-

a device to prevent just such occur.
Tences, and has since attached it to all
It's passenger equipment. The device
Is quite simple, consisting merely OF
right-angled steel hook, which Is
placed Immediately beneath the coup
Ter on the draw-head, with horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction of the track. When the
draw~head falls the safety hooks not
only assist In jamming the DRAWBACKS

becoming disengaged. The steel heck
is placed in such a position that It
