PRINCE AND SINGER.
How ~the Student Fritz and Jenny
Lind Sang Patriotic Songs
Together.

On a summers night the prince was
returning with few companions from
a ramble near Rolandseck. Some one
suggested a supper at the local inn.
"An right" said the prince, 80 long as

be Jenny Lind" He dashed into the
adjoining room; it was Jenny Lind.
The great songstress felt that she
ought to be angry at the intrusion, but
it is difficult to be angry on summers
night at Rolandseck. The end of it
was that she found herself at the piano
singing national songs to delighted
audience of three unknown students.

Then the young prince again seated
himself at the piano to teach the

troops to victory at Weissenburg and

willy Frenchmen Hoodwinked tho
Arab Sheiks Into an Awed
SubmissiOn.

During the French conquest of AL
geria Qs03-1S33) negotiations for
peace were entered upon with the
sheiks of certain Arab tribes, and
meeting for the settlement of terms was
arranged to take place at the French
headquarters. The French officers re-
ceived their guests with great bospi-
tally, and after the banquet given in
their honor, at which the utmost splen-
dor was employed, in order to dazzle
their eyes and captivate their simple
minds, an adjournment was made to
a large hall, where NJ. Houdin. the cele-
brated conjurer, who had accompanied
the French forces, gave an exhibition
of his skill. They stared in open
mouthed wonder at all the tricks that
were performed, and feeling of awe
crept over them as they witnessed the
mysterious appearance and disappear.

peared to them most marvellous was
the apparent manufacture of cannon
balls. M. Houdin passed round among
them a high hat, which they examined
very carefully, but without suspecting
anything unusual in either it's make
or it's appearance. When the hat was
returned to him, the conjurer placed
il on the floor in the middle of the stage,
in full view of his audience. He then
proceeded to take from the hat cannon
balls apparently without number, and
rolled them across the floor into the
wings. With this the performance ter

among themselves, and came to the con-
clusion that it was useless to offer any
opposition to an army that could turn

quired treaty, and departed to tell their
friends in the desert of the wonderful
power of the invaders.-Cincinnati En-

Very few were in attendance, as it was

brought frcm North Platte until Thursday
morning for trial.
The complaint was read charging him
with deliberately, premeditatively and
feloniously shooting and instantly killing
Fred Laue at odessa on the night Of De-
cember 4. Dinsmore pleaded mot guilty
and waived further examination.
No complaint was filed in reference to the
death of Mrs. Dinsmore. as the state is
waiting for the report OF the chemist who is
analyzing the stomach, liver and tongue.
Dinsmore will remain in the county jail
until his trial at the January term CT the

tion he maintained his characteristic indif-
ference and calm demeanor.
This afternoon the sureties on the $4,000
bond of Mrs. Mary Laue refused to remain
on it unless they were made her custodian
until the next meeting Of the district court.
The county attorney deemed this inadvisable
and she was remanded to the custody of the

RIVAL FOR THE SUGAR TRUST
Big Corporation Forming with n
Capital of One Hundred
millions.

NEW YORK Dec 1S.-The Herald says:
II present plans are carried out the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, commonly
known as the Sugar trust, is soon to have a
new and powerful competitor. Papers are
now being drawn for the incorporation under
the laws Of the state of Delaware OF new
sugar concern having an authorized capital
Of 500, ,000, 600. Lawyers who are confessedly
at work on the Incorporation state positively
that the new company will be in no way
allied with the Sugar trust They hint
strongly at opposition.
Intimations that f. o. Matthiessen. who
has now severed his connection with the
trust the Doscher interests, whose New
York Sugar Refining company is fighting the
trust. and other independent refneries who
are arrayed against the trust are TO be
merged into the new company, come from
the same source, although the interests In
question deny knowledge Of the scheme
The new company plans to do business in
Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, as well as in
the United States proper.
Definite statements regarding the proposed
new sugar company were obtained from
James Wolcott, a member OF the firm OF
Hughes & Wolcott, prominent corporation
lawyers of Dover, Del. Mr.. Wolcott's S
partner, Charles Hughes, Is secretary Of the
state of Delaware. Mr.. Wolcott was in this
city on business touching the new sugar
company When questioned regarding the
plans for the company he expressed surprise
that they had become public, but admitted
that he was working on the incorporation
papers.
The matter is not yet ready for public
announcement" said Mr.. Wolcott land I
am not at liberty to give any but the bare
details OF the scheme. We purpose in
cooperating a company under the laws Of
Delaware with an authorized capital OF $780,,
900, 900. We will have the right to refine
sugar both here and in the country's new
colonies, it being our idea that sugar grown
in Hawaii Porto Rico or Cuba can be re-
fined there and brought to this country in
the refined state more cheaply than it can
be refined here after importing the cane
Headquarters for the new company will
probably be in both New York and Chicago"
Mr.. Wolcott refused to give the names
OF incorporators.
When asked whether the company will be
connected with the American Sugar Refining
company, he said: Most assuredly not. l
think you will find that we will be quite a
different concern"
"Will Mr. Matthiessen or the Doschers or
the Arbuckles be connected with your COM
pany?"
"All the names and all the facts will come
out in good time. AS yet we are not ready
to make any announcements"
