Romance of Ludwig III, of Bavaria.

When, shortly before midday on March 10, 1854,
e toring hell announced the death of Macmillan
II. King of Bavaria. a deep gloom fell upon the
city of Munich and there was mourning through
out the country. Every one felt not only that a
good King had passed away. but that the future
OF Bavaria was now placed in omewhat incom-
petent hands. A ruler of only eighteen years OF
age was not a very sure guide to depend upon
at a time when the state OF Europe was causing
grave anxiety. All these doubts and fears. how
ever. were forgotten when the young King. In
deep grief and mourning, and surrounded by the
princes OF the blood and the mobiles OF the land,
appeared before his subjects as chief mourner at
his fathers grave. His extreme youth. his won-
derful beauty and the deep-seated expression OF
grief upon his face made instant capture Of the
good German burghers ami their families. and
the hearts OF all present went out in pity and
affection TO their new sovereign. This young
King was Ludwig III. the story of whose life and
reign Is told in this volume Of nearly three
hundred pages. by Frances Gerard. II Is a
strangely interesting story. full of sadness ana
romance. and strong contrasts of sunshine and
darkness. 1t Is indeed a royal tragedy, relieved
by occasional giimpses OF royal happiness and
admirable qualities. Ludwig III. as Is now gen.
orally known. had a faint OF insanity. and
finally committed suicide by drowning himself
IN Starnberg lake, where a flag still marks the
spot. This happened In 1856. and the sad fate OF
the unfortunate King. and his virtues before his
Intellect became clouded. are still affectionately
recalled by the people OF Bavaria The narrative
OF his whimsical reign. OF his eccentricities. OF
his love for and patronage OF music and the
drama. and OF his public and private life makes
an interesting story. and one calculated to make
many healthy. happy and well regulated people

FREAK MARRIAGES,
Dwarfs and Giants Who Have Been
Joined In Wedlock.

Dwarfs and Giants Who Have Been
Joined In Wedlock. !"
The marriage which took place re-
Gently at Bolton, England, of Charles
Morris, a dwarf of barely three feet,
known as General Small, to Sophia
Goddard, whose height did not exceed
that of her husband, was made much
OF by the British press, but many sim
liar and more remarkable weddings
are on record. Tom Thumb, who was
hardly thirty inches high, married, in
1868, Lavinia Warren, who topped him
oy a bare inch. A child was born to
tnem three years later, but it died
while yet an infant. Tom Thumb him
self died in 1888, and his widow some
years later married another dwarf,
With whom, and troupe of pygmies,
she appeared last summer. Her sister,
minnie Warren, who had been brides
maid at the first wedding, likewise
espoused one of her own stature in the
person Of Commodore Mutt, the best
man on the same suspicious occasion.
Two remarkable dwarfs-the smallest
human beings, indeed, on record
were exhibited at a hall in Piccadilly.
Ihelr names were Lucia Larate and
General Mite. The former, when II,
stood twenty inches in height and
weighed under five pounds, while the
latter was an inch taller, and four
pounds heavier. These mites, who
were a prodigious attraction, and re-
ceived the distinguished honor of be-
Ing exhibited to the queen, were mar
r1ed before an immense throng of peo-
pie at St.. Martins church. To pass to
the opposite extreme one may record
the marriage Of Miss Anna Swan to
Captain Martin Van Buren, Bates,
which was solemnized some twenty
years since. Bates, who was, for a
giant, a remarkably well made man,
stood about z feet 8 inches and
weighed 278 pounds, while the bride
was some two inches and GA pounds
less. To these two was born child,
which, however, only survived it's birth
few days. 1t certainly gave promise
to rival it's parents giant proportions,
for when it came into the world It.
measured considerably over two feet
in length. Another remarkable mar
rage was that which took place on
Nov. 30, 1892, at Huber's Museum, New
York, when Chauncey Morlan, weigh
ing 578 pounds, married Miss Annie
Bell, who weighed $50 pounds. With
out doubt they are the rost weighty
couple living.

Fox cares. She never cared much. That
is just her trouble. She was always so
Indifferent. If I told her there was mil
lion dollars waiting for her across the
street I don't believe she'd so after it..
Della Fox doesn't care to live"
Miss Fox began her stage life as many
another operate star has done-in the
chorus. It was De Wolf Hopper who dis
covered her in that obscurity and brought
her forth and made principal of her.
That was in the early days Of the success
Of Wang
Della Fox made a great hit in "Pand-
jarum," and greater hit in '.The Little
Trooper And as her professional star
assembled her social success grew-in the
society that recks not conventions nor
warnings nor the sea marks made by the
shipwrecks Of those who have gone be-
fore. .>-".. .5~.2 =
The list of Della Fox's admirers is
list of the bon wants of all the large
cities of America, and some of the cap
itals of Europe. Her dressing room at the
theater and her suite of apartments at
the hotels were filled to suffocation with
flowers. Her collection of jewels Is
scarcely rivalled by that of any other
stage queen. When last in London she
received a long pearl necklace worth
many thousand dollars. A diamond
footlightst at the same time as the neck
lace. There was a card on each and in
scribed on both in the same handwriting
was the word Anonymous. '.n.5 r'..,
Three seasons ago Della Fox starred
In Fleur-de-lis," and two seasons ago in
connection with Lillian Russell and Jeff
de Angels in "a Wedding Day" This
year she headed her own company in

be right the play might have aptly been
called "Finis." d.
Miss Fox Is the daughter of a photog-
rapher. She was born in st. Louis She
Is not yet out Of the charmed age of the
twent1es. She might have won more
plaudits and life might have held more
pleasures.
But, the doctors say, she took her pleas
ures too unstintedly, and now the power
TO win plaudits is gone. The dance of
pleasure Is ended. The doctors insist that
Della Fox is dying.
1t is a plain, poor, little home which
Della Fox left for the stage, and to which
she has gone back to die. EIer friends
are saying, in undertones that tremble:

SATURDAY MAY IS, 1899,

One of the best things which has
happened lately is the verdict for $780,
900 damages awarded to George Din
ming against the Regulators" of Simp-
son and Logan counties in Kentucky.
It is believed this will have good
moral effect and tend to discourage
any disposition on the part of citizens
of Kentucky to take the law into their
hands. Dining was awarded the full
amount asked for $50, 900 and in
:mmenting upon the verdict one of
ne jurors states that it was generally
understood by the jury that the de-
PENDANTS had little or no property, and
that the full Judgment prayed for was
simply granted to suppress further
Mwlessness of the kind in the state.
Col. Bennett H. Young, Dinning's
attorney, will send executions to Lo-
gan and Simpson counties, and il the
return is made mo property found, :. :.
the defendants will have to go to Jail
for ten days, and then take the insol-.
vent debtors oath. 81

Della Fox IS dangerously ill, perhaps
dying. She has left her company and the
stage and. gone back to her humble home
in st. Louis.
If her physicians are right, and, though
there are three of them, they agree in
this, she has but few months--it may
be only few days-to live, says the New
York Journal. -. ~

"Rheumatism of the heart" says one
physician. 'Incipient consumption" says
another. NERVOUS exhaustion and acne

sprightly Della Fox is ill unto death all
of them affirm. s~
Della Fox appeared in the title role Of
1.-THE Little Host at the Herald Square
theater, New York, in November, and
again at the Grand Opera house in March.
On the first occasion it was noticed that
her One-tine fresh, lark-like voice had
lost it's timbre and taken on a huskiness
that was painful to those who loved mu
sic and admired Della Fox. On the Sec
ond it was evident that her rounded.
graceful figure was painfully shrunker.
Two weeks ago she came to New York to
rest. She went 20 Morello's, which has
been the scene Of many merry midnight
revel, with Della Fox as the merriest
spirit of all. This time she assisted at no
Bohemian wassail.
On Monday she left for St. Louis. The
doctors had advised this as gently as cir
cumstances would permit. They did not
say "home is the best place TO de-" but
that is what they meant And Della Fox
understood and went!
1t is nearly ten years since Della Fox
left quiet little home on the North
Side to go upon. the stage. Ten years Of

WILL FAST AND PRAY.
National Council Sets Apart Friday,
June 2, for This Purpose.

New York, May 3.-The National
Afro-American council has issued a
proclamation, calling upon the Afro
Americans of this country to set apart
Friday, June 2, as day of fasting and
prayer, and has called upon all minis
tiers to devote the sunrise hour of the
following Sunday, June 4, to special
exercises in order that :God, the Faith
er of mercies, may take our deplorable
case in his own hands, and that if ven
geance is to be melted out, let God
himself repay"
The proclamation invites all the
prominent clergy of all denominations
to cooperate, and consists Of lengthy
setting forth of the present ''indescrib-
able barbarous treatment" of the Afro
American in this country. Reference
is made to their loyalty in foreign
wars, and the recent lynchings in the
South are denounced in the most siren
uous language.

United States Court at Nashville. 1t
is charged that some farmers of that
state were in the band of regulators
which visited Dinning's home and
drove him off. These defendants are
said to have money, and if the verdict
is in favor of Dining he will realize
something from the suit.
1t really is wonderful that Dining
is alive, much less that ne could win
such verdict from jury composed
entirely of white men, and in Ken
lucky. Especially when Dining kill
ed one of the regulators. The story is
as follows: For some reason Dining
had become obnoxious to some of the
"best citizens and as an excuse for
'regulating'' him he was accused of
stealing chickens. j. A mob was formed
to warn him to leave the country and
his home was visited Jan. H. 1897, and
the demand made. Dining refused to
go and the mob opened fire. Dining
returned the fire and killed one man.
Then he fled. The next day the neigh
bors drove his wife and twelve child
rem away and burned his home. Din
ming went to Louisville and filed suit
in the Federal Court, with the result
as above stated. - .~..
