AT BREAkNECK SPEED.

| Germany TO Run Military Train One
Hundred and Fifty Miles an Hour.
Frank 81. Mason, United States con
sui at Berlin, sends the following to
the state department at Washington:
"The preparations for the high speed
electrical traction tests ON the military
| line between Berlin and Zossen are
now practically complete, and it is ex-
pected that the trials will begin about
the middle Of September AS the time

attention becomes more closely center
ed upon these experiments, the result
Of which will have such an important
meaning not only for Germany, but for
all civilized countries, and among these
probably first of all the United States.
If an electric motor car, taking it's cur
rent from overhead wires and running
upon an ordinary standard gauge rail-
way track, can carry with safety fifty
or sixty passengers at speed of from
80 to 100 miles an hour, then it is evil
dent that the first ten years of the
twentieth century will see the means
of travel between populous cities and
districts in America and Europe prac-
tically reyolutionized.
"The scene Of the experiments Is a
stretch twenty-three kilometers (14.29
miles, in length from Marienfelde to
Zossen, on the military railway line
which runs southwark from Berlin to
the place last named. Along this line
have been set at intervals of 100 feet

the top of which is set In vertical po-
sition and fastened by bolts bow or

the chord of which supports the three
brackets for insulators from which the
three lines of conductors are hung. The
conductors are ordinary copper wires
about three-eighths of an inch in thick
ness so hung that the. trolley can make
full contact from beneath.
"The measure Of speed to be attempt
ed is 200 to 220 kilometers (124 to t36

MaRital Relations End In South Dn-
kota Divorce Court.
A Sioux Falls IS. d. dispatch stat.
ing that Fred Gerhard Of New York
city, who took up his residence at that
j place last April, has filed in the cir
cult court Of South Dakota a suit for
an absolute divorce on the ground OF
! desertion revives public interest in the
exploits of that unique figure in New
York society.
| Freddy Gerhard, says the New York
Press, has always been prominent in
club life and was well known in rae
Ing circles few years ago. He mar
ried the beautiful young woman whom
| he has now sued for divorce several
| years ago.
She was Miss Louise Morris, the
daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. John B.
Morris Of Baltimore. She is noted
beauty both in New York and in the
south. Gerhard met her while he was
travelling with Lily Langtry, the Ger
sey Lily"
1t was his acquaintance with Mrs
Langtry that brought Freddy more
notoriety than his ownership of good
race horses. he was her faithful at
tendant for years. He not only gave
her horses and dogs, but presented one
Of the finest ranches in California to
her, which she still owns.
He parted from her and immediate
~ began paying attention to Miss Nor
ris. 1t was reciprocated, and their
wedding followed a couple Of years
later. 1t was brilliant social affair,
and many costly presents were given
to them. Their life was always,
thought to be one continual round Of
bliss.
Gerhard always had plenty Of money
and was always looked on as a jolly
good fellow.
Mrs. Gerhard, besides being noted
society belle and beauty, has figured in
what society termed many escapades.
Most remarkable Of these was her
Wading in a fountain in a spirit of fun
She was visiting her parents in Balti-
more in the summer Of 1896. She was
chaperoning party of girl friends and
their escorts, of which Harry Lehr was
member, to the local Music hall, and
on their return they passed fountain.
Lehr dared Mrs. Gerhard to wade in
the basin. She replied she would if he
and the other men would. They as
sured her they would, and, much to
their surprise, she stepped into the
basin without hesitating moment and
waded around. The young fellows fol 4
lowed, and the ether girls followed
them.
The water was about six inches deep,
and, all wet, they returned home, and
one even caught cold as the result of
the nocturnal prank.
When Lily Langtry came to this
country, she and Gerhard became great |
friends and were travelling companions
on many trips. They appeared to like
each other much. But something or
other happened, and Gerhard lost inter- |
est in the famous beauty.
he was the owner of several noted |
race horses and is a member Of the Ma
donal Hunt and Steeplechase associa-
ton. His most famous horse was Eole.
He paid $4,000 for the thoroughbred |
FLY Experiment. After she came into |
his possession he renamed her Louise
in honor of his wife. He also owned |
Volunteer II. and the famous jumper
Olinda. Although still identified with J
he turf, he has not taken a prominent
part in it foE' the last few years.

ALLEGED BOGUS COUNT
SAID TO BE s.HEROv OF OVER ONE
HUNDRED LOVE AFFAIRS.
Arrest of "LeO De Melville" a Waiter,
on the Charge of Bigamy-
i'm Chicago.

NEW YORK. April 23-The man who is
alleged TO have called himself Count Leo
&c Melville and who is said to be known
also as Count Leo Fraquini was arrested
here on Friday last on the request of the
Chicago police. He was arraigned before
a magistrate on Saturday and was re-
manded until to-day. A Chicago detective
reached this city to-day with requisition
papers in which the man is said to be
wanted in Chicago for bigamy. Fraquini
said he was not, and had never claimed to
be, a count. lie also said he had never
fought a duel in his life and that he had
never had any occupation except that of a
waiter.
The Chicago Chronicle said yesterday:
I'm the arrest of Count Leopold de Mel
vile. otherwise known as Leo Fraquini,
who is held by the New York police on a
charge of bigamy, sworn to by a brother of
one of his Chicago wives there. was
brought to light in this city a romance
whose unfolding reveals the count as the
hero of more than one houndred love af-
fairs. He IL declared TO be the husband of
an assortment of wives whose number a
recently deserted wife in Chicago esti-
mated last night at not less than fifty or
~. AS a uuciiSN Oh many IL bioOuStdlntQ
field of honor in Europe the count became
celebrated nearly a generation ago. His
duels were always fought for love, and
the wounds received i'm the onsets he proud
ly bears on his face and body. He at last
broke altogether with his father, a noble
man high in the court and councils of the
King of Belgium, and came TO this country.
Such was the narrative detailed last even
ing at her residence in this city by Mrs.
Hannah Henson de Melville, who married
Count De Melville in this city Aug. :, 1900,
and lived with him as his countess until
about three weeks ago. A few days before
a young woman from Riverdale, whom.
il Is alleged, he married in this State and
took with him to New York. Within a few
days of the elopement the young lady's
brother discovered that De Melville had a
wife In Chicago-Mrs. Hannah Henson de
M~elVille-with whom he had been living
until the time of the elopement. His sister
her brothers discovery. There was a scene
between the clippers, after which the
woman returned TO Chicago. When placed
under arrest in New York the count was
reported to have told Detective Burke he
had so many wives that he had not been
able to keep track of even their names
and could form no idea as to their real
number. To AVE made such an admission
the countess thinks would lave been unlike
cautious and taciturn in dealing with
strangers. But she freely avowed that in
her opinion he has several wives living
and added that she should not be sur
prised II the number should be found TO
reach fifty

He was closely identified with the activi-

way for many years, and possessed quail
ties of character that made him respected
by all and greatly endeared him to those
who knew him best. Entering upon his pro-
fessional life, as he did. before the advent
of the specialist, he became a member of
that rapidly passing class, the family doc
tor. and a most successful and admirable
representative he was. Nc other man so
enters into the intimate life of a COM
munity as the physician who is called upon
in every family crisis from birth TO death.
He is more than a mere guardian and con-
hdant. and the bonds between him and
his patients are strong. DIR. W~oodburn's
sweet and sympathetic nature and his
genial manner made him an especial
favorite. and many old residents Of the
city will mourn his going as a personal

ANOTHER GREAT TRUST
COMBINATION EFFECTED BY MANI
FACTURERs OF FLOWS.
Capital stock May BE Fifty Million
DOlIars-Twenty Big Firms
Interested.

CHICAGO, April 23.-After a conference
lasting several days the pillow manufacture
ers of the United States practically have
completed the formation of a 100000
combination. The combination has for one
of its purposes the elimination of the long
credits which nave been given country
merchants. 1t is said to have been the Gus
tom to give these creditors as much as a
years time. and inasmuch as the manufac-
turers have not enjoyed such credits in
buying their materials they say they have
been placed at a disadvantage.
Some twenty manufacturers are repre-
sented at the conference. Charles III. Deere.
OF Moline, one of the moving spirits in the
project, has presided. The capital stock,
said one of the manufacturers, lis one of
the things yet to be determined, but II is
likely TO be about $50, 900, 900. That about rep
resents the capitalization of the twenty and
more manufacturers who have participated
in the conference. The headquarters OF the
organization will probably be in Chicago.

yet to be decided"

in the old tickets To the company at the
close of each day, the same number of good
tickets being retained in the pockets of
those who were in the conspiracy. 1t is also
alleged that in many cases the number of
fares runS up and the number of passengers
