IN addition TO the derby favorite,
Crockford was also the owner Of the fa-
vorite for the Oaks, on which his friends
had staked very large amounts. Their
a9pxiety at his dangerous seizure was
great, because in the event of his dying
before the race his FLY would be dis
qualified and their expected harvest
would be lost. N III
As they feared, the man actually died
on the very morning Of the race, and his
friends were in despair. They were de-
termined, however, not to lose their
money in the even of the FLY IS success,
and to achieve this object they placed
the corpse in chair at an open window
so that the crowds returning from the
race course could see him.
Mr.. Crockford's FLY came in first, and
the returning crowds, seeing her owner
at the window shouted out the news and
their congratulations to him, little
dreaming that the congratulat ions fell
on deaf ears. The ruse was successful,
the bets were paid, and it was many
years later that the world knew that it
had congratulated dead man.

The visit of the French Minister Del

yarn concerning the visit is that att

the effect that the czar was contem-

younger brother. But entirely aside

All the world loves lover and es-

Ten. Ulysses S. Grant. So the eyes of
{ the American people are all turned to

News first came to US over the cable
on May that Miss Julia Dent Grant
was to wed a Russian prince. The en-
gagement was announced from Paris,
The acquaintance of the young people
having begun in Rome not more than
six months ago.
At first it was thought that the mar
rage would not take place until late
in the fall, so that Miss Grants father,
WHO'S on duty in the Philippines, could
be present. The plan now is to have
the marriage solemnized some time in
September at Mrs. Potter Palmer's res
idence, Beaulieu
Miss Grants engagement is the end
of the first chapter of pretty romance.
Mrs. Palmer and Miss Grant were stay
ing in the Eternal city. Prince Canta-
-cuzene was at that time military at
tache of the Russian embassy, and he
and the other Russian officers were at
tracted toward the young and pretty
American girl. They. showered her
with attentions, and made her stay in
Rome as delightful as they knew how,
and when Mrs. Palmer took her fair
charge to Cannes the prince determined
to go also.
He succeeded in obtaining a special
leave of absencafrom his duties in Rome

on the plea that he wished to join the
party of Grand Duke Sergius, but it
was noticeable that the grand dukes
party had less attraction for the young
man than Miss Grant. Just when the
happy moment came which marked
the beginning of the engagements not
known, but it is conjectured that the
prince asked for the hand of Gen.
Grants granddaughter in Paris,
whittier he had followed her.
On Thursday, May s, Mrs. Potter
Palmer gave brilliant reception at the
Hotel Ritz in honor of the mother of
Prince CaEtacuzene, at which a formal
announcement of his engagement to,
Miss Grant was made.
Prince Cantacuzene, says the New
York Herald, is rs years old, Of pleasing
appearance and erect carriage, and a
lieutenant in the imperial guards. His
family is one of the Oldest and greatest
in Russia, and the young prince be-
came the head Of his house not long
ago by the death of his father. He pos
.sesses vast estates to the eastward of
Moscow, where he maintains a mag
nifcent chateau. He is said to be un-s
usually talented and a!together.a young
man of fine character. A member of
the house of the prince was the Russian
minister to the United States at Wash
ington not many years ago.
The name Of Cantacuzene in Russia
dates from the time of the Byzantine
empire, when Constantinople was the
capital. The name is now familiar
one in Russia and Roumania. The IA
ther Of the young prince was director
of the foreign religions to the minister
of the interior, as all faiths. outside of
the Greek church - the established
church OF Russia-are included in the
administration of the interior depart
ment. &.
title Of Count Speransly, is related on
the maternal side to the late Prince
.Gortschakoff, who quarter of CEN
fury ago was '.the grand old man Of
Russia being grand chancellor of
Russia and minister of foreign rela-
tions. s sd
Mrs. Potter Palmer was not at all
saverse to speaking freely onthe sub
iect of the engagement when APP
preached on this subject Of interna
tional interest, and explained why the
prince was not in their company, as
1T was rumored he would be. She said ::
though prince and a man of for
tune and large estates, Prince Cantacu-
.zene is also soldier a member Of the
imperial guard and. like every other
soldier, SIS subject to army orders and
discipline. In Russia what is known
as the ..manenvers' begin in June and
will continue until the end of August,
during which time leave OF absence is
difficult to obtain by an officer, no mat
,ter what his rank or circumstances.
Fer this reason the prince will not be
at liberty to cross the Atlantic until
autumn. :

board Of health on a tour of investiga-
ton with the result that number of
porkers were found that were evident
" suffering with hog cholera. It was
found that the amin us were dying at. a
lively rate and that the local glue fac
tory was receiving on an average of

Examinations Abolished.

At the annual meeting OF the state
high school board it was decided to
abolish the examina tions to which
state high school graduates have been
subjected in the past before they could
enter the university. The subject was
brought up at the June meeting by
Gov. Lind, who suggested that these
examinations were a great nervous
strain upon the pupils, and that the
graduates of state high schools should
be qualified for admission to the
university without undergoing this
ordeal. A committee consisting Of
President Northrup Of the university
and State Superintendent Lewis was
appointed to devise some system by
which the examination might be abol-
sished and at the same time the stand
ard maintained. George B: Alton, in
spector of high schools, presented his
annual report after which the question
of state aid to the high and graded
schools was discussed.

can be done land are now seeking the
way TO Go it through committee Of
intelligent men selected for the pur-
pose. That committee was in session
all day Monday and will report il
part at the next meeting. The
means by which they purpose to
meet the end desired, we are not adj
vised, but whatever it may be, it
should have, we believe, the hearty
support Of all the farmers on the
Eastern Shore. Good results are al
ready seen ia the agitation OF the
question and better results we have
no doubt will follow, if our farmers
will fall into line and be willing TO
try to do something, instead OF or
ganizing a grumbler's club in every
community, as some are disposed to
do, and say that the present move
ment can end in nothing but failure.
The farme's of the Eastern Shore are
too intelligent, not to have learned by
this time, that as individuals, they
are powerless in the hands of those
who are depriving them of the fruits
of their labors and making them
poorer every year and that they
must work together for their COM
mon good. Will they do it, by at
tendance at the meeting and other
wise, in helping the organization
proposed to success?

Delegates from Accomac and Eliza
beth City counties will meet in con-
yention at Cape Charles next Thurs
day to nominate candidate for the
House of Delegates. In noting the
fact, attention is also invited to the
resolution adopted by the mass meet
ing at Accomac G. e., which selected
the delegates. 1t may not instruct
them, but twist it as you will, 1T cam
not be denied that it reflected not
only the views of the participants IL
that meeting but of the democrats
generally throughout the county. 1t
does not say in so many words, Ter
haps, that they shall not cast their
votes for anyone who does not favor
the candidacy of Governor Tyler fol-
United States Senator, but no one
can doubt that he will disobey the
voice of his constituents if he votes
any other way. The resolution, IN
our opinion, was intended as an IN
struction, and if correct in our views,
there is nothing left for the delegates
who attend the convention to do hut
vote for the candidate which Eliza
beth City presents to that body, who
favors the election of Governor Tyler
and if neither does, to demand that
some one be nominated from Eliza
beth City who will. 1t may be true,
as some claim, that Governor Tyler
is not in the race for senatorship, but
if that is so, we put ourselves in no
less a false attitude, if we agree to
the proposition advanced by others
and vote in accordance Herewith,
that it makes no difference as Tom
Martin already has enough votes to
elect him senator vino is the nomi
nee for the House of Delegates from
Elizabeth City county" If Accomac
has spoken against Martini>ln ana
the ring rule incident TO il in the
State, and no one can doubt IL who
is willing to give to the resolution
adopted by them in mass meeting.
IN intelligent Interpretation of its
meaning, then it is our duty to put
ourselves on record in the conven
ton as rejecting their wishes, even
if we knew Tom Martin would be
his own successor.
