many OF them have proposed marriage to
her Is not certain, but from her state

one OF her most illustrious, conspicuous

King of the Belgians. He sat in the first
rev at the opera night after night, and
loaded her with presents. He offered her
a lucrative situation at the head of the
ballet at the opera in Brussels, but she
said she would rather stay in Paris
If King Leopold proposed marriage to

and achieved unpleasant nOtoriety in
company with Bessie Bellwood, the music

way, but every right-m:nded person will
devoutly hope not.
The Duke of Manchester has a historic

SIGN for small philanthropies.
Easter came, and with it the purchase
of her spring hat, beautiful, dainty af-
fair of straw, flowers, ribbons and
aigrettes.
1t was short time after she had
bought her hat that she became inter
ested in the Audubon society, the object
of which is to protect the birds, especial
ly those birds whose lives are sacrificed
to the adcrnment of womens hats
She became greatly enthusiastic for the
society, and dwelt upon the cruelty of
the women whose vanity in dress is
greater than their pity for the birds
Such women were little better than saw
ages. she thought, going about with the
wings and tails and bodies of birds on
their heads; and then with sweet salts
faction she remembered her own pretty
hat and especially the filmy beauty of the
aigrettes which were its chief charm.
A branch of the Audubon society could
be formed in her own school, where she
might teach her boys and girls to re-.
spect the lives of the little songsters She
wrote to the president Of the society and
received from her a great quantity OF
literature concerning the work.
She had not yet spoken to the children
about her plans, as she intended first to
read the papers which had come from the
president and then prepare a nice little
talk about the birds which, she knew,
would make every pupil of hers eager
to protect them.
The first article she read was one con-

for the lives of those birds and strongly
denounced the women whose heartless-
ness caused all the destruction among the
focks of beautiful white egrets in order
that the elegant aigrettes might be worn
And then the, enthusiast for the Au-
dubon society brought out the lovely hat,
and tried to imagine how 1t would look
without the hair-like plumes. To take
them off would utterly spoil the hat and
she could not bear to do that, so she let
them stay.
This is the reason that in a certain
school the well-laid plans for an Audu-
bon society went agley.''

BOUND OVER.

In the trial of John Shugru at Lima,
charged with an assault on Miss Haub,
he was bound over to court in $1,000
bail. Lovejoy, who was arrested with
him, also bound over in the same sum.
Miss Haub thought they were the two
who assaulted her. but would not swear
positively. Other witnesses swore to
see them near the place of the assault
about the hour the crime was commit
ted. Both of them left the city the
same evening, for Montpelier, Ind,
where they were arrested. In defense,
several witnesses swore that the young
men had told them previous to the as
sault, they were going to Montpelier to
work. But as the assault was evident
ly planned, this might only be
proof of their guilt, being part OF
their plan. They also proved that at
the hour the assault was committed,
they were at their boarding house,
where they were seen in the bar
room, and at supper. But owing tc
the bad character of the house, the
Mayor placed no credence in this testi
mony, and bound both men over tt
court. In default of bail, they went tC
jail. Shugru is from Bellefontaine.
