The Old Tom Cat.

We have read heap of guSh about the
voices Of the night
When the moon is flooding Earth,and with
sea Of silver light,
When the stars are softly winking at each
other in the skies,
And the breezes gently whisper atmospheric
lullabys.
There are voices of the night that soothe
sleepy fellows ear
Blended in n tender chorus that Is mighty
nice to hear,
But there always comes another one to
knock their music flat
That's the devlish soprano of the old Tom
cat!
When the toll of day is over and the face
begins to yawn
And the eyelids get to droopin' like their
energy was gone.
Then we pull ourselves together, muster
courage to unshuck,
And we think the bed the very softest snap
we ever struck
Pretty soon the vision-angel opens up his
nightly show,
And We watch the fair dream pictures as
they brightly come and go,
TIL there comes a squally veto on such &C.
stasy as that
In the sleep-destroying solo of the Old Tom
cat.
In voice he thinks is tender and dream
Of harmony
He will perch upon the woodehed and will
call his sweet Marie,
And the two will get together and rehearse
their tale of love
In a way I'd scare an angel from its roost-
ing place above!
Then fellows Christian spirit always goes
upon Il strike,
And his words are wild as ever came re-
sounding down the pike
As he hurts his household treasures out to
interrupt the chat
OF that diabolic pussy and her old Tom cat!
We are weary of the story of the voices of
the night
Told by drean-afflicted poets when they've
nothing else to write
For they pick the grains of sweetness from
the chaT of painful fact,
And omit the sounds by which our ears are
devllishly racked!
Why the dickens don't the scribb,ers fire a
yolley now and then
At the nuisance that makes demons of us
- meek and sanity men?
Cease to send their fancy pictures through
the old poetic hat
And assault the nightly warblng Of the old
Tom cat?

CHICAGO UPT,

All the national bankruptcy laws we
have had have been misused, and the
present one will be no exception to the
rule. They are telling an interesting
story of how Chicago man is going
to profit by the new law. Charles B.
Browne of that city the nephew of
millionaire, has been doing business on
his rich uncle's reputation for the past
twenty years. He has renewed his notes
and now that he sees that the death of
his rich uncle will be of no benefit to
him if he does not get legal release he
has taken action under the national
bankruptcy act. He owes 81, 636,07S,
and confesses to having assets amount
ing to IS to meet these obligations.
Browne secured credit by posing as the
favorite nephew and heir of Barlowe
Bennett a Syracuse millionaire. Up to
about 100000 Brownies drafts on his
uncle We're honored, and he won such
confidence with the banks that in 1886
he had signed notes representing $780,
900. He promoted many schemes and
became so greatly involved that he
alarmed his rich uncle. When that rich
relative died he cut off his nephew. de-
claring that he would not allow his es-
tate to go to the creditors who had ex-
pected to be reimbursed from it. Mean

CROWN PRINCE RUDOLPH'S
DEATH.
A British version of the Tragedy at
Mayerlng Ten Years AGO.

Mayering Ten Years Ago.
The veil Is more or less lifted from the
shocking tragedy of the Grown Prince
Rudolph's death in the illustrated jour
nal, the West End. The crown prince,
as is well known was deeply in love
with the beautiful Baroness Marie Vet
sera. He wrote and dispatched by a
| trusty messenger a letter to the pope,
| praying for a dispensation and the favor
of his intercession with the emperor, so
! that he might be enabled to relinquish
! his title to the throne, give up his high
| estate. and retire into that private life
which he so much preferred The pope,
instead of replying directly to this let
| ter, Immediately communicated the
whole of the correspondence to the en-
peror The emperor and his ministers
We're thrown into the utmost consterna-
ton, and it was then that Franz Josef
uttered that famous saying: Never. as
long as I live" An agonizing interview
followed between father and son, which
lasted throughout the night, and when
in the early hours of the morning the
unhappy prince left, utterly heart
broken, it was after he had given his
word of honor to his father to break off
his relations with the baroness forever.
The crown prince and the baroness
met in Vienna and heart-rending fare
well took place between them. But at
the time of parting she elected prom
Use from him that he would once more
meet her at his shooting box at Mayer

Wald
Two days afterward tho crown prince
instructed Bratnsch to fetch and drive
the baroness to Mayerllng. This Brat
fisch. it Is well to mention has hitherto
been supposed to have been an ordinary
coachman. He was, as a matter of fact,
no ordinary coachman at all, but we'll

the crown prince his favorite songs.
Bratfsch obeyed Instructions and sue

Vetsera to the shooting box, there to
meet her 1over-for the last time.
1t was at first very enjoyable even
ing that was spent at Mayerling Songs
We're sung, and as the wine passed free
ly the laughter became frequent and
loud. The company consisted of Prince
Philip of Coburg. Count Hoyos and
Bratfisch and, of course, the crown
prince and his beautiful mistress. 1T
was remarked at the time that Prince
Rudolph's good humor seemed slightly
forced and that the baroness was dis
trait and tired. Toward one in the
morning the latter complained of feeling
unwell and retired to her room. The
crown prince, however, remained with his
friends. He drank heavily--a most I'M

usual proceeding for him. At one
was hilariously gay.
| AT two o'clock after having con-
sumed the best part of decanter of
| brandy, the prince said good night to his
| friends and went up stairs. He entered
the baroness bedroom. He never left
that room.
The next morning at seven o'clock
Bratfisch, who was so much in the con-
fidence of the prince, went to the bed
room to wake his royal master, who had
said the night before that he would hunt
on the following day. On reaching the
room Bratfisch, after knocking, tried the
door and found it unlocked. He entered
and staggered back, fainting at the
CHASTITY sight which met his Mortified
eyes.
Lying upon a sofa, completely covered
with wild flowers, was the lovely Marie
Vetsera. She was dead. BY her side
lay her lover the Crown Prince Ru-
dolph, clutchng heavy cavalry pistol.
He had shot away the back Of his head.
Bratfisch, so soon as he could recover
himself, at once reused the house and

doctor from Baden. near Mayerllng, was
summoned-of course, to no possible
purpose. And here the evidence of the
doctor Is very important, for 1t refutes
the argument that the lovers died to-
gether. He certified to the death of the
baroness as occurring at l a. m. from
strychnine poisoning, and that Of the
crown prince at a. m, from the effect of
a pistol shot. That is to say, the baron-
ess was dead an hour before the un-
lucky prince entered the room.

FASHION NOTES.

Not so much has been heard since
summer began of gowns combining
cloth and silk, but the fashion has not
passed, nor has it been forgotten. 1t
will probably break ont with renewed
force in the fall, and afterward silk
will again resume the prominence in
fashion matters that cloth has recently
denied to it. Such prophecy in matters
pertaining to women's dress is risky
business, but this is the course the styles
will take unless unexpected Develop
ments turn them aside. Some of the
gowns of cloth and silk shown last
spring were rarely pretty, and the beau
ties of the fashion were but touched
