SENT HER DOWRY TO HEAVEN
How GuIIibIe Farmer ana HIS WIG
Purchased Their Daughters He
lease from PurgatOry.

CCopyright 1898, by Associated Press)
BERIIN Oct 22-An almost incredible
instance of fourteenth century superstition
and gullibility comes from the town OF
Kempton Bavaria, where a married couple
named Wohlfahrt have been sentenced to
Imprisonment after having been convicted
of an extraordinary series of frauds on a
well-to- do farmer and his wife living nearby
whose daughter, Crescence, recently died.
The Wohlfahrts persuaded the farmer and
his wife to believe that their daughter.
Agnes Wohfahrt, received frequent visits
from the Virgin Mary who told her that
Crescence was not in heaven, but in purga-
tory They further impressed upon the
parents of Crescence that Agnes could ar
range their daughters release from purga-
tory If the farmer paid 800 marks.
The latter paid the money and a little
later Agnes was alleged to have received the
news that Crescence had been married to an
angel and wished to have her dowry sent to
her together with 1000 marks. Then Cres-
,ence was supposed to have had baby and
the farmer gave more money TO the Wohl-
'ahrts. In short, the farmer was bled In
his manner until he was ruined, But news
of the affair reached the authorities and the
Wohlfahrts were arrested.
During the proceedings in court fifty-twC
letters, which Agnes Wohlfahrt was said L
have received from the Virgin Mary, were
produced and the public prosecutor read ;
receipt from the mother OF Christ" for 15I
marks. Another document was a letter o
thanks for a sack of potatoes and still an
other was an acknowledgment OF receipts o

,,NEs. NEW PIECE SCORES A HIT.
.rTrip to the Exposition" Proves an
InstnninncOms Smcccss.

Innes' band rendered it's famous direc-
tors new descriptive fantasia, "A Trip TO
the Exposition" for the first time last
night on the Plaza band stand. Despite
the cold and discomforts attendant uDon a
long period of inactivity in the biting wind,
the largest crowd that has greeted the band
during the last week gathered on the Plaza
and patiently waited until the band had
played its way through a lengthy program
TO the event of the evening, the much her
aided composition OF its leader, which con-
cluded It. Little or no enthusiasm was
manifested by the audience during the rem
dering of the program, but when the cocks
began Growing in the opening bars OF the
fantasia indicative of the opening OF the
dawn Of a new day the listeners began to
grow demonstrative and their demonstra-
tions grew in tumult as the fantasia pro-
gressed. Every familiar imitation Of the
sights and sounds on the Midway were
greeted with vigorous handclapptng and
cheering.
limitations that were exceptionally well
rendered were: The clicking OF the turn
stile gates, the "spielers" in front OF the
concessions, the Midway band, Hagenback'
animal show, the trolley car and the Streets
of Cairo. The spectacular anvil chorus was
loudly applauded The fantasia concluded
with the most stirring of the national airs
and an exhibition of fireworks. Cheering
| was started when the first note OF 'Ih'
| Star Spangled Banner" was sounded an'
| it did not subside for fully five minute
| after the last echo OF the last song ha'
died away. The music aroused the old
! time war enthusiasm. Director lnnes wa
called upon for a speech, but contented tn
audience by bowing several times.

kilograms from Balmoral intimate that
Queen Victoria is following the trend of
events with much chagrin. Her aversion
to war, in the declining years of her reign,
is well known. and is an apprecable factor
in the situation. The Austrian and German
newspapers are closely following the dis
pute between Great Britain and France, and
while they express the hope that it will
not end in war, the general feeling Is that
the French position is untenable and that
Great Britain is entitled to reap the fruits
of victory.

NO MORE SPACE TO BE HAD
American Exhibitors at Paris Must
Content Themselves with Pres
ent Conditions.

Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Coz
PARIS. Oct 22.-(New York World Cable
gram-Special Telegram. )-The special cable
concerning space at the exposition has been
recalled here and has raised no end of a
commotion. To set at rest conflicting reports
again visited the French exposition author
tiles today and it is an uncontrovertible
fact that the United States will have no
more space in the hig fair than that already
ailotted-iust what | cabled. With all the
good will possible the authorities say they
cannot accord an inch more that they have
not the space to give. In spite OF all the
talk to the contrary, when the American
commissioner and his assistants state, that
they have all the space they desire, they
only make the best of the situation "All
they desire" is all they can get. 1t is high
time for exhibitors to realize the situation
and to conform their exhibits to the rim-
tied quarters.
Another important thing Is that there will
he no separate buildings for the various
nations. All the foreign exhibits win be
arranged in sections according to the class.
In the French buildings, for example all
the harvest machines of every nation will
be arranged together, side by side-Ameri-
can. German, English, etc. This rule viii
he followed in all classes of exhibits and
the French authorities therefore strongly
advise American exhibitors to arrange for
collective exhibits. Although the system
may not please many exhibitors, 1t is cer-
tanlY a practical method. and the only one.
the French authorities claim, that will ad-
init of fair representation of the whole
country.
Here is the exact text of NJ. Picard's Off
ciaf statement In the matter:
II know OF the dream which haunted Mr..
| Peck during his voyage across the Atlantic
! "a dream OF an immense. vast American
section, and it is with real regret that we
| acknowledge that we cannot realize his
| beautiful dream. The grand Paris expos-
tion is Obliged to reply: No sir, we are
! not the exposition of Chicago. l have given
! all can even more AS early as 1896, the
other great nations asked for their space
and according 1t we did not forget our
sister nation. We kept her part Handy

necessary selection. Make collective exhib-

STRAFFORDS HAVE A SCANDAL
Brother of the Earl Resigns from
the Ministry Because of
Penchant for Cards.

Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Oct. 22.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram )-The wedding
of Mrs. Colgate of New York and the Earl
of Strafford-whose engagement was an
nounced last week-will take place next
month. They will be married abroad, prob
ably in Paris.
The Strafford's have their skeleton, like
most other English aristocratic families.
A possible heir to the title is Hon. and
Rev. Francis Bying, brother OF the pres
ent earl OF Strafford. This reverend gentle
man was the vicar of fashionable church
of st. Peters Cranley Gardens, Kensngton,
and was chaplain to the speaker of the House
of Commons. Despite his cloth, reports
say he was addicted to cards.
Some ten years ago he suddenly resigned
his benefices and went abroad, owing to
trouble over a gambling debt, it was said
and he has never returned. He was the
mildest, the most inoffensive and apparently
the most exemplary OF clergymen, and his
fall excited profound amazement His
brother the earl OF STAFFORD, is highly es-
teemed, and possesses to a great degree the
confidence of the queen.
The duchess of Marlborough and her
babe are progressing admirably. The duke
has not yet abandoned his scheme of get
ting the former family mansion the Marl-
borough house, for a town residence The
prince of Wales cannot part with it, but the
duke is said to have an understanding with
the duke OF York that when the last named
becomes the heir-apparent to the throne, he
will assent to the resale of Marlborough
house to a representative of the Marlborough
family. This can then be easily arranged,
as the prince OF Wales will take Bucking-
ham Palace and the duke of York will take
st. James Palace.
Mrs. Ronald is expected back In London
at the end of this month. She has recovered
her health after her recent severe Illness.
She took the cure at the Spa in Belgium
Now she is staying in Paris.
The most interesting engagement of the
year is between Byron's granddaughter, Miss
| Judith Blunt, and Bulwer Lytton's grand
| son, the Hon. Neville Lytton, brother and
heir -presumtive OF the present earl, Miss
| Blunt is the daughter OF Wilfred Scawer
Blunt, a noted poet and orientalist, ant
Lady Ada Milbanke, the only daughter o.
| Ada Lord Byron's only child. The mar
riage is fixed for February, when the bride
groom will be 10. and the bride barely 20.
Wufred Blunt who was and is an intimate
| friend OF Arthur Balfour, took strong side
! with the Irish party during Mr.. Balfour
coercion regime and caused one OF the mos
exciting controversies of that stormy perio'
by declaring that Balfour had informed hin
| while he was his guest that he had special,
devised the rigorous Imprisonment clause
| Of the coercion act to break the spirits am
constitutions Of the Irish leaders.

bOys and Girls Make Raid and Get
Their Money's worth.
Yesterday 1t was neck and neck race
between Nebraska and southern California
to see which would be the most popular
with the thousands OF children who visited
the Horticultural building. The youngsters
commenced passing through the gates in
the rear Of the Georgia State building at
an early hour in the morning and by 8
O'Clock there was a perfect deluge. They
came in pairs. by fours and in squads and
Inundated every part of the grounds. They
heard that there was fruit in the Horticul-
tural building and that was the mecca
toward which thev travelled AS the first de-
tachment passed into the building the men
thought it would be a great thing to give
each of the youngsters an apple. The fruit
was given and then the stuff was off, for
everyone had to be treated in the same
manner.
Down at the Southern California exhibit,
iG a thoughtless moment Superintendent
Wilson gave a boy big apple. The word
passed down the line that Wilson was giving
awav fruit and almost instantly the line Of
march was in the direction Of his exhibit.
In half an hour his tables looked as though
they had been struck bv cyclone, but there
was fruit as long as 1t lasted. While this
was going on the reinforcements were at
,acking the other exhibits and every super
ntendent in charge was doing something to
make the boys and girls feel happy. The sur
| nlus stock was brought out and Idaho, Wis
| ccnsin. Colorado, Oregon. Illinois, Iowa.
| Kansas Missouri and all of the other states
! vied with each other to see which could dc
| the most in supplying the children with
| fruit.
At night the exhibits were in bad shape
| hui they will be Strengthened up today and
vher the building opens tomorrow morning
! there will be nothing to indicate the con-
diticn that existed yesterday.

ley, the eminent liberal statesman and
writer, has been chosen by the Gladstone
family to write Mr.. Gladstones life. The
only obstacle to his selection from the first
was his agnosticism, which. ii was thought
might unfit him for dealing with the re-
ligious side Of Mr. Gladstones character and
career.
No living English statesman was more
thoroughly in sympathy with Mr.. Gladstone,
both mentally and politically, or is better
equipped of personal knowledge and in
timacy. to give an idea of the man himself.
1t is predicted that MIR. Morley will devote
himself to his herculeau labor for the next
few years, Withdrawing to a great extent
from politics. This will leave the Irish
home rule cause with only one really sin
cere, uncompromisiug advocate among the
liberal leaders-Lora Spencer
The Hon. Bernard Petre, brother of the
present Lord Petre, has been sentenced to
six months Imprisonment for passing
worthless check for $780, He is only 2i
years old, but the judge took strong view
of his conduct, as the fraud was perpetrated
on Petres landlady, although he had an ac-
count at the bank on which the check was
drawn. The sentence is regarded as excess
i've and an effort is being made to get ii
reduced.
