A Royal Coquette
 >>>-FckIe Princess Victoria Reported Engaged.

Ham Waldorf Astor. She read his maga- zine, contributed to 1t, it Is said, studied its policy and manifested much approval. She was strangely impressed by the fact that, on his wifes death, MT. Astor sus- pended the publication of the magazine, declining to let it ever appear again as ''it had been too much the work of her own hands!" The Princess Victoria is of TO- mantle disposition and all the world loves a lover.
 bery, also a widower, and with small chil- dren, for awhile the princess thought him the most amiable of men, but his imper- factions grew upon her. His insomnia, his nervousness, his love of ease, his sport iveness all told her that he was man of certain sort, but not of her sort. At one time Dame Rumor loudly whispered the betrothal of Rosebery and the princess, but 1t was declared off only little later.
 There is a tale that the Czar of Russia, seeing her at Copenhagen, fell in love with her. and that she would have married him but for his religion. Each year that they met, at these annual reunions at the home of their grandmother, the Queen of Denmark, they had liked each other more and more. They were precisely of an age; and from babyhood had played together each September at Copenhagen, but for some reason they could not agree to unite. The princess was too democratic for strict est Russia.
 JILTING MARLBOROUGH. At another time the name of the Prin- cess Victoria was connected with that of the Duke of Marlborough, for the Prince of Wales had shown that he has no ob- lection to daughter marrying a sub ject And again she was rumored in love with the Hon. George N. Curzon, now the husband of Mary Letter. But Victoria paused not long to listen to any love song; and while the rumors were flying around she was quietly gathering up her golf sticks to flee to the country with her mother away from the wearisome London season.
The age-herald., 1898-08-28

The cables connect the names of Vic toria Alexandra, second daughter of the Prince of Wales, with that of John Bar ing, Lord Ravelstoke, head of the bank ing house of Barring Brothers & Co.
 Word comes that the princess is en- gagged to Lord RavelstoRe; and that the betrothal only awaits the formal approval of the queen grandmother
 If this be true then the greatest CO., quette of modern days Is caught in a net of her own weaving. Courted for years by the most prominent men of England, Victoria has picked them up, played with their affections and cast them aside as idly as though they were puppies from her fathers kennels at Sandringham. And these were the proudest men of the king dom. Peers have been treated in this way, statesmen have been picked up and thrown away, and prince after prince has offered his hand only to be rejected.
 In four years the name of Princess Vie toria has been connected with no less than ten highly eligible suitors; and in four years each and every one has been report ed accepted, only to be served with notice of rejection.
 So noticeable did this fickfeness of the princess become that in 1895 a rumor be- gan to circulate that she was not in her right mind. It was claimed that no girl wholly brilliant, could reject William Wal dorf Astor and Lord Rosebery in one short year; yet that is what Victoria is report ed to have done.
 NOT VERY YOUNG.
 The Princess Victoria was born thirty years ago in the days when the United States was claiming little of the world S attention. As a child she was particularly fond of hearing about the strange young country with a history shorter than many

THE WONDERFUL REMEDY

From the 6ulligent Lightning.
 This community has been recently all astir on account of a new medicine being brought here by our merchants. It is a liniment. Thus far 1t has effected some remarkable cures. Among few may be named the following:
 A few days ago John Brown fell down and nearly broke his neck That would have been a blessing, perhaps, but his girl ran as hard as she could and rubbed some of this remedy on the gate post, and the marvellous result was that John got up immediately and began to talk politics. He was well that quick.
 Ed Metcalfe was very angry at calf which tested the durability of his anatomy with it's head. Ed shot the calf, killing ii instantly. His sister rubbed some of the liniment on the dogiron, and the calf was resurrected and walked about two miles away in less than ten minutes. You could not tell that 1t was hurt.
 Marion Nolen made a mistake and gave a man six coppers for a nickel. He was al- most crazy when he discovered his terrible error. Friends gave him up. So did the doctors.
 It was pitiful to see strong men weeping over Marion as they thought he would die. Some one suggested that the liniment be used; it was. Four drops were applied to Marions heel and his feet immediately as- sumed an intelligent look, and in less than three shakes of Ad Hills left ear Marion was up, rubbing his face, and trying to sell piece of bacon. O, it's a great rem edy.
 One of Jim Buck Browns children broke out the only too teeth it had. There was sorrow in the family over the accident, but an application of the remedy was made and the child recovered and was found to have mouth full of teeth.
 John Guthrie accidentally broke his watch hand, and an application restored the hand and caused nine new hands to grow out on the watch.
 Green Bankhead used some of the remedy to help his sneeze, which has become chron- ic. One dose caused him to cancel fifty three stamps more before dinner than usual.
 Lghtning's editor bumped his think tank against the atmosphere, and was severely hurt. One rub of the medicine on a mo- lasses barrel at Lampkin's store caused the editor to act sensibly. something which sur prised the town.

A Peculiar Will
Lancaster, Pa, Al

LancaStef, Pa., August 25 Several months ago Dr. Andrew Garber a prominent citizen of Mt. Joy, died, leav- ing an estate valued at nearly half million dollars. He wrote the will himself, and tied up the estate in trusts so that it could not be distributed until 1937
 His son and only child, Christian M. Gar Der. was cut off with a meagre allowance, and today he began a suit to test the validity of the will. It is alleged that Dr. Garber was of unsound mind when tho will was made and a jury will now pass upon the case.

Mixing Affairs

 "Gracie," said MT. Nipperson, "I think your father ought in some way to be given to understand that he carries his business as contractor altogether too far"
 What makes you think that?" the fair girl asked.

Another thing which is working against
Brautigam is the fact that he caused the

citizens to produce their papers at the
polls on election day, when required. That

ests Of his Constituents.

[FroIn the Paterson Labor Standard. ]
The Labor standard with rs twenty
three years records OF devotion 10 the
cause Of organized labor has never yet
given credit TO public man for services
which he did not render and has never
asaailed public mans actions without
Just and reasonable cause. It fnds a
good deal more pleasure in praising than
in eondemning and feels delight in being
able to point to men in public life who
have earnestly and honestly served the
people and used their best efforts to make
the condition Of the toiling masses better
than they found it.
Amongst those in public life whom the
Labor STANDARD" recognizes as a staunch
friend OF the common people and as an
earnest and able advocate and supporter
of all measures in their interest is the
present Senator from Hudson county,
William D. DAILY. This opinion has not
been hastily formed or reached from here
say; it is the result of several years close
observation Of the Senator's attitude on
all questions relating to the welfare of
the masses.
Nursed in the lap Of labor and brought
up as wage-worker, William D. Daily
should naturally be in sympathy with all
the legitimate efforts of the class from
which he sprung to elevate itself material
ly, morally and intellectually And he is
and his record as public man proves it.
William d. Daily is a plain. rugged,
every day man whose head will never be
swelled by advancement. His sympath-
les with the masses are not shown by
mere courtesies and phrases. but by prac-
tical efforts. During his legislative career
as an Assemblyman and Senator no man
could do more than he did and tried to
do for measures in behalf of wage labor.
Looking back during the period of his
legisla tive service we find that his voice
has always been raised and his vote al
ways cast for the measures of organized
labor We know that he has championed
the cause Of the weak in the committee
room ana on the floor and that he has
carried measures to success, notwith-
standing opposition almost insurmount-
able
BY his honorable record It will be seen
that he had either introduced, advocated
or voted for every measure in behalf Of
labor presented to the Legislature during
his one term in the House and two terms

special pains this year to see that every
man has been registered. Affidavits We're

pains were taken to register men. Had
