vIcToRIA's NEW TITLE.
Queen to Be Known as Great Great
Grandmother,

Queen to Be Known as Great Great
grandmother.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
The not very distant future will prob
ably give Queen Victoria the additional
title of great-grandmother.
Princess Henry xxx. of Reuss,
great granddaughter of the queen, ex-
poets to become a mother very soon.
The interesting event is formally pre-
dicted by the court newspapers of Ger
many and England.
Needless to say, Queen Victoria feels
profound interest in this event She
has now become Observation-Disclosures
so many times that the thing has
grown rather monotonous, and it would
not be reasonable to expect her to be-
stow more than passing notice on such
incidents, but this will be her first
great-great- grandchild, and the expert
ence will, therefore be novel and pleas
ing to her.
The new baby will be descended eX-
clusively in the female line from Queen
Victoria. Its mother, Princess Henry
xxx. of Reuss, is the oldest daughter
of Princess Bernhard of Sake Meinin-
gen, who is the oldest daughter of the
Empress Frederick of Germany, who is
the oldest daughter of the queen.
Here is the family tree Of the baby
mother:
/. Queen Victoria married Prince AL
bert of SaXe-Coburg Gotha.
2. Princess Victoria married Crown
Prince Frederick of Prussia, afterward
German emperor.
8. Princess Charlotte married Prince
Bernhard, eldest son of the duke OF
Saxe-M einingen.
4. The Princess Fedora married
Prince Henry xxx. of Reuss.
The title prince Henry xxx" may
puzzle some Americans. The eXplana-
ton is that every prince of Reuss is
named Henry and that they are dstin-
guished from one another by numbers
beginning afresh in each century. In
family intercourse they call one another
by playful contraction of the numbers.
Needless to say, the Reusses are al
ways good at figures.
The forthcoming event in Queen Vic
tora'S family demonstrates among
other things the much greater efficiency
of women than men in perpetuating a
royal line. The queens descendants
through her daughters outnumbers
those through her sons by three to one
The reason for this is that the sons de-
stroy themselves by the dissipation per-
mitted to men of their rank. while the
women are virtuous and benefit by the
exceedingly comfortable conditions of
life in which they are placed.
By the birth of a child to the princess
of Reuss the Emperor William will be-.
come great uncle. the prince of Wales
a great-great uncle. the Empress Fred :
erick a great-grandmother.
Queen Victoria will be able to look
upon four generations of her own de-
soendants.

Warmly Commended.

The members of the Musicians union
are to be warmly commended for their
liherality and enterprise in arranging
triple entertainment to be given for
the benefit of the Butte soldiers in serv-
ice at Manila. The musicians are not
out to make money, but will pay all eX
penses, donate their own services and
donate the gross receipts to the SOL
diers. The triple entertainment will be
given on the evening of April at Rem
shaw hall, the Auditorium and Hiber-
MIA hall. Tickets are interchangeable
and can be used a. any of the halls. At
each there will be grand promenade
concert and ball. There will be two
full bands and three orchestras. The
rough riders and Meagher guards will
be in attendance and it bids fair to be
the gala event of the year. Governor
Smith and other state officials have
been invited to be present.

"OLD HUTCH" is DEAD.
Fell Victim to Heart Disease at SAM
tarium in Wisconsin.


Chicago, March 16.-Benjami P. Hutch
inson, the former board of trade operator
and packer, died of heart failure at $50
O'Clock this evening at the Lakeside SAM
tarium, Lake Geneva, Wis. He was 70
years old. The remains will be brought
to Chicago for interment. Mr. Hutchn-
sons health began to fail rapidly about
three years ago and during the last two
years he has been at the sanitarium
where he died.
Mr.. Hutchinson was at the height of his
fame in 1883, when he ran his corner in
September wheat. After that began his
decline, and the financial end came in 1881.
His last deal was a big one. he being on
the wrong side of the market for s., 600 goo.
Financially crushed, he left town and
went to New York city. where he opened
a secondhand store. He gave that up
and returned to Chicago, where he traded
in a small way when he could get people
interested in his schemes. But his career
may be said to have closed with the big
deal of 1891. No one knew how much he
was worth. He would never talk about
his private affairs. The estimates of his
wealth when at the height of his prosper
ity place the amount anywhere from
81 900. 900 to SIG, 900. A conservative es-
innate places his richest days at s4,O000O0
to s6,OO0.000.

IN THE POLICE COURT
A Black Scoundrel on Trial for
Insulting White Girls.
He WAS FOUND GUILTY
Another Young Woman Who Had Been
Grossly Insulted by the Brute. Was
Not Permitted to Testify-Frisco
Nell Ordered Out of Town.

There We're happenings out of the or
binary run in the police court yester-
day. The case attracting chief inter-
est was that of George Washington
Billiard. the colorel masher arrested a
few days ago for insulting young la
dies, who had a trial on charge of
disturbance. The defendant, a repul-
sive scoundrel, as black as the ace of
spades, who had not even good looks
to warrant him in attempting to flirt
with white girls sat by his lawyer,
Attorney Kohl, and grinned through
out the trial as though he thought he
had done sometime smart.
The two young ladies whom Billiard
was accused of insulting by dogging
their footsteps and trying to flirt with
them, were the only witnesses allowed
to testify, though another young lady
was present who could have told much
more than they did. AS her expert
ence with the defendant occurred on
another date than that mentioned in
the complaint, however, Billiards. coun-
sci succeeded in shutting out her tes-
timcny.
The two girls who did testify told the
same story. They were clerks who are
employed in one II the large mercan-
tile establishments of the city. They
said that the defendants offensive con-
duct commenced nearly a month ago.
In going to and from their work they
had to go up and down Main street.
The defendant would always manage
to meet them at or near the corner of
Silver street. AT first they noticed he
seemed TO be trynG to ogle them. but
they paid no attention. as they could
not conceive of 81 disgusting appear
ing brute having the assurance to
think he could fiTt with white girls,
but he kept getting holder, and at
length they could not help seeing that
they were the object Of his attentions.
AT length he got so bold that he would
lift his hat and say, How are you,
sWeethearts? His conduct was ex-
cessively annoying. but they hesitated
about making complaint, but when one
day he actually tried to stop one of
them, they concluded it was time to
seek the protection of the police. An
other young lady the defendant had
grossly insulted wanted to testify, but
was not permitted to do so by the
court sustaining an objection of the
defendants counsel The defense had
no case and Judge Terrell found the
defendant guilty He awaited himself
of the statutory "a hours in which to
receive sentence.
In the afternoon Judge Terrell mar
ried a very young couple in the police

A POLITICAL PROTEST
Members of the Storthing Refuse
to Dine With the Regent.
IT is VERY SIGNIFICANT
Norway Bitterly Opposes the Existing
Union With Sweden-The Crown
Princs Urges Resort
to Arms.

Christiana, March 16.-Sixty leftists,
members Of the storthing, the legisla-
tive assembly of Norway, have declined
an invitation to dine with the Swe-
dish crown prince, Gustaf, who is act
ing as regent of Sweden and Norway
during the absence of King Oscar, who
is in Southern France seeking to re-
cuperate his health.
The refusal of the Norwegian legis-
lators to accept the hospitality of the
regent is doubly significant as empha-
sizing the resentment provoked in
Norway by a recent saying of the
crown prince in public meeting at
Stockholm that he would not object to
lead the Swedes against the head
strong Norwegians in resort to arms
to settle the quarrel between the two
countries, and as the most striking
indication of open enmity to Sweden
which has been shown in Christiana Of
late. A few nights ago, while the
crown prince was returning from the
military club in Christiana. he met a
crowd of people who hooted him and
Delted him with snow balls. The Nor
wegian papers condemned the demon
stration, describing it as in any event
a purely personal incident. But the re-
fusal of the members of the storthing
to dine with the regent has wider bear
ings and is in the nature of a political
protest against the continuance of the
union with Sweden.
In spite of the action of the storth-
ing last winter in legalizing the adop-
ton of the separate Norwegian flag,
an overwhelming majority of the people
of Norway bitterly opposes the exist
ing regime. OF late in both Norway
and Sweden there has been an increase
of military and naval forces. with
clearly one object in view to support,
if necessary, by arms. all claims which
may lead to an entire separation of
the two countries. The opposition to
the continuance of the union is strong
er in Norway than in Sweden, but even
the Swedes contend that the existing
union, which rests upon the riksakt or
greater charter declaring an irrevoca-
BILE union, without prejudice to the sep
arate government, constitution and
laws of each country, cannot be con-
tinucd without notifications of a rad
ical character Norway's political
grievance is that she is deprived of
her just share in the common govern
ment; but the principal grievances are
Of commercial origin and provoked by
the foreign trade interests of the two
countries. Their commercial policies
are Numerically opposed, Sweden hav-
ing adopted a protectionism and Nor
way free trade.

AMONG RAILROAD MEN
A New Double Service by the
Great Northern.
TO MEET COMPETITION
Progress of Railroads in Equipping Roll
ing Stock With Safety Appliances.
Will Stop Manipulation
of Rates.

It was announced yesterday on what
appears to be good authority. that the
Great Northern will put on a double
daily train service from St Paul t.
the Pacific coast to meet the competi-
ton of the Northern Pacific, but the
officials of the former road have been
silent on the question, merely saying
that they have in the past kept "at TIL"
head of the procession and imply
that if one road can operate two daily
trains, others can do the same.
The interstate commerce commission
has issued an tented statement show
ing the progress made by railroads in
equippinS their rolling stock with safe
ty appliances, to lessen the possibility
of manning or killing employees in the
discharge Of their duty. There were
111.116 freight cars reported equipped
with automatic couplers. and S9.254
equipped with train brakes during the
six months ending December l, 1898.
which makes a total of 92l 500, or IS
per cent of the freight cars equipped
with automatic couplers. and 619,252, or
81 per cent, equipped with train brakes.
up to December /, 1898. OF the 1854
locomotives, owned on December l. 1898.

Eastern lines are taking measures 20
stop the brokers from manipulating the
low rates in effect from St. Paul to the
East. They have served notice on the
ST. Paul lines that they will accept no
tickets which are not limited to a strict
ly continuous passage, and that if any
such are presented on their trains the
Western roads will be called upon TO
pay the full proportionate fare of SIS
from Chicago to New York The St.

will hereafter sell only iron-clad sigma
ture descriptive tickets, requiring the
traveller to leave Chicago on the first

from St. Paul to New York are $25 first
