AmELIE RIvEs NOT INSANE.
Her Husband Says She Is Working
on Z NeyT Book.

q New book.
BOSTON. Aug. 23-Amelie Rives. the
novelist, came North last week with her
husband. Prince Troubetskoy, from her
Virginia home. The Prince states in the
most positive manner that his wife has
not been out of her mind. although pub
lication OF such stories and the mailing
CT them to her by maliciously inclined per-
sens has been of serious injury to her in
her admittedly poor nervous condition.
II is for this reason end TO keep such
stories from reaching her in the future as
well as to prevent her from being annoyed
by publishers and reporters, that the
Prince declines to tell where his wife is
staying at present. 1t seems quite certain.
however, that she is with a private family
not far from Boston. The Prince. who is
an artist OF note. is painting the portraits
OF some weII-known people who have their
summer homes at Cohasset. He is the
guest OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas B. Richard
son at Holly Hill. Rear Admiral and Mrs.
| Crowninshield are also guests at Nelly
| Hill
The Prince was bitter today about the
treatment that the yellow journals h ! ac-
corded him and his wife. and Wa out
spoken in characterizing their conduct as
| an outrage.
81 know that my wife is public person.
age so far as her works 60" said he. land
that her doings are of Legitimate interest
to the public, but her private affairs are
only her own business. We left her home,
which is at Castle Hill, Va. last Friday
and arrived in Boston Saturday. She is
under medical treatment. of course. but
she is not in a sanitarium or institution.
She is not with me here under an assumed
name. nor is she. in fact, in Cohasset at
| all.
she was not well last winter and this
summer. The trouble during the winter
was nervous prostration, brought on by
overwork and she has been quite IL.
| Owing to the heat of the South she has
| been weaker recently. and for this reason
! I concluded to bring her North. She posi-
! lively has not been out of her head or in
| sane and stories to the contrary are sim
| ply lies. She was confined to her room u
| to the time that we left Virginia. where
| she had been of and on for period Of four
| years, or practically ever since our retGIn
| from Europe.
| You may say-and this certainly does
| not lock as if her mind was in bad condi-
| tion-that she will in six or eight months
| bring out another book. She has for some
! time been working upon this book, which
| will consist of short poems, and has beer
working on it lately. The poems have
been written for some time, only some
| editing and working over being necessary
now"
| The Prince said that he would lIustate
| the work.

4 WILD MAN IN GEORGIA.
'Terrifes Negroes by Entering Their
Homes EuaEnounceG.

CONFER. Ca. Aug 23.-Reports have
reached here OF tie daring acts of wild
man about six miles from this place He
made his first appearance last Saturday
night at negro house. The doors OF the
house were open and he walked in, help
iEg himself to whatever he desired to eat
After finishing his meal, he walked to the
bed OF a child and carried it some distance
from the house. 1t is supposed the wild
man became frightened by the screams of
the old negroes and released the child The
child was not injured save for a few
scratches on its throat The man also en-
tered the house Of very prominent white
man the same night, but was discovered
by the owner VINO came so near that tbs
muzzle of his gun rested on the breast OF
the savage.
Other reports say that he has entered the
homes of more than two dozen negroes
within the last week. The negroes of that
section are moving away, being afraid to
sleep at night The excitement has reach
ed high pitch among the negroes.
The wild man is supposed to be her
nit, who has occupied a cave on Broad
River about five miles from this place for
thirty years. and owing to the scarcity of
rain causing all fruit TO die and the river
to dry up, he could not obtain a sufficient
supply OF food and was forced to visit the
home of his neighbors for bread. Very lit
tie is known of the history of this hermit
except that he has been seen in that sec
ton for the last thirty years. He wears
only a few clothes and his body is covered
with hair

Mrs Lowe down with a blow from his first,
but she jumped up and selling a big knife
attacked them while they were attempting
to get into the safe. With curses and
blows they fought her off
The woman then ran to the telephone.
One of them dashed after her and tried
to pull her away. but she made such good
use OF her weapon that he kept away.
The woman asked the telephone operator
to send help. and the men fed After the
fire burning waste was found in MI. loves

teresting by the picturesque and historic
nature of the surroundings People came
on foot, on horseback, and in carriages
from miles around, and dozens of rigs
splashed in and out of the ford until the
nearer bank was crowded by hundreds. A
large party Of city guests drove down the
mountain from Blue Ridge Inn, in Sniek-

c.RNEGIE THE JOKER.

The allegation that the Scotch are de-
void of humor is proved to be a cruel
Islander by Andrew Carnegie in his own
proper person. In the Century Magazine
for May the great iron manufacturer says
quite a number of exquisitely humorous
things about trusts. After describing the
origin of trusts, Mr.. Carnegie breaks
forth into a vein of humor in this wise:
1.-The people may rest assured that
neither in one article nor in another is
it possible for any trust to exact eXorbi-
tant profits without thereby speedily UNI
dermining it's own foundation.
AS for the result being an increase of
price to the consumer beyond brief pc
Rod there need be no fear
From a man who has recently divided
81, Geo. 900 profits on six months business
this philosophical reflection is excellent.
1t is almost equal to Mr.. Carnegie's ia
nous joke to the effect that "the man
who dies rich, dies disgraced." The fear
of such disgrace must oyerhang Mr.. Car
1Det41ACNAS1so3
is doubtful if it keeps him awake at
nights. The individual who is able to
add the major portion of $21 900 to his
already colossal fortune in six months
time and announces that for the ensuing
year he hopes to divide ST., 900 with his
associates will have a sad time trying to
divest himself of his vast accumulated
wealth before he is removed from our
midst" The disgrace" of dying rich Sc
riously threatens Mr. Carnegie, and, I'M
less he takes prompt and vigorous meas
ures to dissipate his millions or billions,
he is "a gone COON
There are millions Of his fellow citizens
ready and willing at any moment to re-
lieve Mr.. Carnegie of much of his hoard
and assume the risk of the disgrace of
dying with it in their possession. The
iron magnate ought to be told of their
existence by some disinterested friend
But this last Joke about the trusts is
not at all bad, either. Mr.. Carnegie has
been for twenty years or more exacting
high profits in the manufacture of steel
rails and steel plates, and during the past
two or three years he has exacted i'm
mense profits from every consumer of
the different lines of hardware he manu-
features. And the end of his exactions
is not yet in sight. The ''brief period" of
high prices to which the consumer must
submit, according to Mr.. Carnegie seems
to be interminable in his case, and the
condition is forced upon the readers of
his humorous articles that there is really
such thing as Scotch humor and that
it is of a very biting kind in fact more of
a practical joke
