LOST BY A JESUIT.
A CruciHx Found In Bucyrus, o.. Be-
Iieved to he Two Hundred
Years Old.

Bucyrus, o., Dec. 11.-A crucifix,
lost by the Jesuit Fathers 200 years
or more ago, has been found in this
city by Rev. Brashler. History shows
that about that time the Jesuit Faith
ers made trip from Quebec to New
Orleans, passing through this part of
Ohio. The crucifix is such a crude
affair and SO wrought that there is
little doubt of it's antiquity. 1t is
made of solid lead and with little
adornment except that necessary to
carry out the design.
1t was found while excavations
were being made for cellar, and is
highly priced by it's owner. Rev.
Brashler, while satisfied of the au-
thenticity of his find, will endeavor to
settle any doubt by searching the
records of the Catholic clergy of Can
ada, which he thinks will prove that
the trinket was lost by the fathers.
or by them given to some Indian
chief of the vicinity.

regularity, until now the attacks
come on six or seven times during
period of "a hours.
The strange part of their malady is
that both have never yet been attack
ed at the same time. 1t seems as if
the day had been set apart for Louis
and the night for Walter to suffer
their affection, as the former has nev-
err had convulsoin after night, nor
has Louis ever been troubled in the
daytime. The young men are con-
stantly together and take care of one
another when the spasms come on.

for some time before the end came.
The deceased was a daughter of Henry c.

death of Mrs. Cheatham were unanimous
ly adopted in effect as follows:
I'VE deem the death of Mrs. Cheatham
cut off she has been in the flower of a
gracious woma nhood a severe loss to the
community of her state where she resided
for several years. and likewise a loss to the
society of Washington, of which circum-
stances made her a temporary member. We
have found her in all the relations of life
as wife, mother, daughter and sister, de-
voted and consistent Christian, power
for good. an agency for elevation and an
honor to her sex and to the race.
I'VE point to her noble career the result
of patient endeavor, courteous adherence
to lofty ideals and the Intelligent applica-
ton Of God-given talents as an example
and inspiration to the young women of to-
day who are striving for education and to
increase their capacity for usefulness and
moral culture" al
Sympathy was expressed for the bereaved
husband, children and friends of the de-
ceased.
The resolutions were signed by Rose E.
Foy, Katie E. Moten and r. W. Thompson.

Wales in Scotland, Royal Spouse is in
Copenhagen.

Wales in Scotland, Royal Spouse is in
Copenhagen.
A special dispatch to the New York
World from London says: The domestic
felicity Of the Prince and Princess Of
Wales is now at the lowest possible ebb.
The princess is growing almost eccentri-
cally self-absorbed and pious, while the
princes determination to get the best he
can out Of life, according to his concep-
ton, is less and less disguised.
The prince has been having a highly
enjoyable visit to Sir Archibald Edmon-
stones Scottish seat, Duntreath Castle
The party was almost wholly family one,
including Sir Archibald's facinating sister,
Mrs. George Keppel. The weather was
cold and misty, but the prince drove out
in the woods every day in pony phaeton
with Mrs. Keppel, and upset his other en-
gagements by staying a day longer than
he had originally arranged. There was
no junketing or big entertainments during
his stay and little intrusion Of outsiders
to bore him.
Meantime the Princess of Wales return
from Copenhagen is the subject of anx-
ious speculation. The queen expected her
at Balmoral by this time, but the princess
has just sent back the Princess Victoria
to England without any indication Of her
own plans.
