BANKS SUE A PRINCE.
Failed to Marry Rich American Girl
and Hence His Troubles.
Prince Leopold Advanced Funds
with Which to Tour This Coun-
try in an Endeavor to F1nd
Wealth and q wife.

1t is said that Prince Leopold, ex-
hereditary prince of Izenberg-Bier-
stein, has been sued by several banks
for $4,000 marks, which the complain
ants say was lent to the prince that he
might make visit to the United States
in search of rich wife. The banks are
the Bergische bank, the German ve-
reins bank and the Wurtemburg We
reins bank. Papers in the suit were
served on June Z. The banks demand
interest for six years.
To evade his creditors Leopold has
renounced his hereditary title in the
principality whose name he bears, thus
permitting an infant nephew to sue
ceed him. He is now a first lieutenant
of Prussian infantry. The Izenbergs
are cousins to the emperor of Austria.
In'1ss7 the reigning Prince Carl, hus-
band of Marie Louise, archduchess of
Austria and princess of Tuscany, raised
$1,6OO,ooO to pay his floating debts, and
ordered Leopold to quit the military
and go upon tour of the courts of Eu-
rope to seek wife. He failed to find
one, and then the plan to send him to
the United States after an heiress was
adopted. The money for the tour was
borrowed of the banks. 1t was decided
that the bride must have dover of at
Ieast 100000 marks.
The prince came to the United States.
He had no success. In the fall of 1894
the banks were informed that the
prince was engaged. Afterward the re-
port was denied.
Disguised with his failure the prince
returned to Europe. The banks say
he has been living on the money they
lent him.

NOVEL TESTS FOR BRAIN.
Indiana Scientist Expects to Locate
the Parts which Govern
the Muscles.

Prof. Talbert, of Laporte, Ind, who
is now in Germany, has discovered
way for a much wider and more scien-
tific investigation of the action of the
brain on the muscles of the body than
has heretofore been known.
1t has long been known that stimula-
tion of certain parts of the brain would
cause definite responses from certain
muscles of the body. Prof. Talbert has
hit upon the plan of trephining holes in
a dogs skull, which he will fill with
ivory plugs, to which are attached cleo
trode knobs resting on the surface of
the brain. Wires are then attached to
a battery and the brain at that point
is stimulated at will. The location of
that part of the brain governing the
hand, leg, eye, nose, etc, may be found
by this new discovery, and it is predict
ed that revolution will follow the de-
velopment of Prof. Talbert's investiga-
tions.

GETS EVEN WITH PRESIDENT.
Daughter OF One of the Supreme Court
Justices Resents u slight in
Pointed Manner.

One of the daughters of a well-known
justice of the supreme court has always
been more or less sensitive about invi-
tations, precedence, and the small
points of social etiquette that some
times escapes the less punctilious.
Rather far in the winter season, when
a dinner to young people was given at
the white house all the young women of
the families of leading officials were in
vited, except this one, who felt herself
especially sighted. When it came her
time to be married, although her ia
ther expostulated and her mother COM
manded, the bride was obdurate about
the invitations. 1t was her wedding,
she said, and she intended to have only
her friends. While the heads of every
important branch of the government
were present at the wedding Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley were absent,
and it was given out the Samoan diff

are laughing at the way in which this
young woman forgot to invite the presi-

SURPLUS OF HUSBANDS.
Missouri Woman Gets q Divorce, But
It IL Not Recorded - Mar
ried Again.

In the Boone county circuit court,
which is now in session at Columbia,
Mo-, a peculiar state of affairs came to
light the other day. In the June term,
1898, of this court Dora Miller filed suit
against William Miller for divorce. The
case was continued until the November
term of the circuit court and during
that term was tried. After hearing the
evidence and the arguments Judge
John A. Hockaday decided to grant the
divorce. The order. however, was never
entered on the records of the court, and
in calling over the docket just before
court adjourned to see if all the cases
had been disposed of this case was over
looked.
Since that time the woman, believing
that she had a divorce from her first
husband, has married again. 1t has de-
veloped that, so far as the records 60,
she has no divorce from her first hus-
band, and hence has two husbands. 1t
is not known how the matter will final
ly be settled, but it is thought that the
woman will again bring suit for divorce
from her first husband.

KIPLING'S NEW VIEW.
His Recent Illness Opens His Eyes
to Warm Hearts of Americans.
A FOrmsr Dislike which He Held
Gives Way before sympathy to
a More kindly and Inter-
ested Attitude.

"The American public" said an init
mate friend of Rudyard Kipling, "un-
doubtedly knows that Mr.. Kipling left
this country with a more favorable
opinion of America and Americans
than was the case when he sailed from
New York three years ago for his Eng
lish home. But only Kipling's intimate
friends have even moderate realiza-
ton Of the change in his attitude to-
ward America since that first home
ward trip.
"Kipling might not have voiced the
great difference in his feelings as he
said good-by on the Dock but in the pc
riod of his convalescence from his re-
cent illness, and while he was winning
back his strength in New Jersey and on
Long Island, his changed attitude, un-
consciously, perhaps, was manifested
in unmistakable ways. His illness,
doubtless, and the loss of his favorite
daughter, Josephine, had much to do
with this change of attitude mans

ly changes the whole direction of his
thought. He entertains more kindly
view of the world in general. he sees in
his friends and in his attendants ad-
mirable traits which he had not fully
appreciated before.
THAT was Kipling's case. He be-
came disposed to look upon the Ameri-
cans, whom he disliked when he left
New York three years ago. in kindlier
light. The opportunity to scratch the
skin and see what was beneath it had
been given to him on his sick he'd. and
he had not let the opportunity slip by.
He had felt the warm heart beats of the
Americans whom he had so pitilessly
held up to criticism, and had found that
at the bottom of his own honest Anglo
Saxon heart he liked them"

SAW HIS OWN FUNERAL.
Eccentric EpiIeptic Attends the Re-

Services.

With eyes intently fixed upon the

W. Bovey, an eccentric epileptic at Ben
ton Harbor, Mich, the other night lis
tened to his own funeral sermon in the
Baptist church of that little city. The
living. but supposedly dead, man lis
tened attentively to the eulogy deliv-
cred, hummed the dirges that were
sung, and, after the service, feebly
walked out and to his home. Bovey
has patiently waited the death sum-
mons for several months, and after
much solicitation induced the minister
to preach his funeral Grafton before
death. The entire ceremony was con-
Quoted as it will be after Bovey dies.
The text, selected by Deacon Bovey
himself, was: 81 have fought a good
fight; have finished my course"

CANNOT RELINQUISH ENTRY.
Decision in Contest Involving u
Homestead Entry-Adminis-
traitors Power Limited.

Commissioner Hermann, of the gen.
eral land office, in a contest involving
a homestead entry, has decided that an
administrator of a deceased entry man
is without authority under the home
stead laws to relinquish the entry of
the decendent, whether authorized to
do so by the local courts or not. In
former years the practice has been to
allow an administrator to execute a re-
linquishment of a homestead where he
acted under the direction of a probate
court having jurisdiction to direct him
and where there was evidence that
there was a widow, devisee or heir capa-
BILE of succeeding to the entry.

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.
Increased Interest In the south On
Part of whites in the Educa-
tiOn of the Negro.

The American Missionary society,
through it's secretary, DR.. a. f. Beard,
is in receipt OF reports from many of
its educational institutions in the south,
especially in Georgia and South Caro-
lima, showing an increasing disposition
on the part of the whites to attend
the commencement exercises of the va
rious schools of the higher grades for
the blacks.
Such attendance has been made by
business men, school committees and
teachers of the whites, and public Off
cials who have expressed sentiments fa-
vorable to the idea that the good and
substantial elements of both sides, in
the south, have identical interests in
maintaining law and order, and all that
appertains TO the good of society, the
church and the government; that good
citizenship can be obtained and exem-
plified only by people industrious,
moral and intelligent; that no race
troubles have been or will be traceable
to the schools of the association, con-
Quoted as they are.
Attendance on these commencement
exercises, it has been said, is an earnest
of white sympathy with the education
of the negroes. These facts are said to
be of special interest to Congregation
alists because it was in one of their as
semblies, in Boston. that Gov. Northen
recently discussed the race question,
and they show that there is southern
sentiment different from that which in
