SAD END OF A KING.
Theodore of Corsica Died in Affect
Poverty in London.
Lost His Dominions Like MIR. Kruger,
and Also His Caste-His Epi-
taph Composed by Horace
WaIpoIe, His Friend.

Mr.. Kruger has lost his country,
but, according to all accounts, he is
scarcely likely to see the inside of a
debtors prison and die penniless.
Such a fate befell less fortunate
monarch whose tombstone still stands
in the Gods acre which surrounds
the Parish church of st. Anne, Soho,
London.
King Theodore Of Corsica was born
at Metz in 1896. Invited by the gen.
eral assembly of the Corsicans to be-
some their king, he was duly crowned
In 1876, but few years sufficed to ex-
haust his personal wealth. After ap-
pointing a regency of 80 mobiles to
manage the state in his absence, he
commenced pilgrimage of solicita-
ton to obtain foreign aid and money
to support his rank and style as king
of Corsica.
He was more or less Hospitality re-
ceived in several courts, but the prime
object of his mission was not achieved.
Arriving in England at last, he was
referred to the admiral of the Med
!terranean fleet, who would aid him
oy order Of the home government. But
when King Theodore learned that his
landing would be opposed, he returned
TO England.
Having borrowed on the continent
where and when opportunity present
ed itself, he laid himself open to the
wiles of the Genoese mobiles, who
we're ever scheming and plotting
against him. He was arrested for q
debt of 5000 forms in Amsterdam
and thrown into prison, but subse.
quently released by subscription be
ing raised by Jews and foreigners to
liquidate his debt. A Spanish Jew

prison. In prison he affected as rega

Its executive officers have always
been the leading lights in that branch
of the railroad profession whose efforts
have been directed towards perfeeting
passenger transportation. The last
president of the association, before
the annual meeting, recently held in
buffalo, n. Y, was an eastern man,
Georeg II. Daniels, the wellknown
general passenger and ticket agent of
the New York Central g. Hudson River
railroad. His successor, who was Sc
lected at that meeting, is Henry G..
Townsend. general passenger and tick
ct agent of the Missouri Pacilic-Iron
Mountain system, western man,
whose distinguished career has made
his name familiar in railroad and com
mercial circles throughout the country.
For the past 30 years Mr.. Townsend
has been the general passenger and
ticket agent of the western lines. He
first served in that capacity with the
Toledo. Peoria & Warsaw railway for
nearly seven years. Next with the Wa
bash for two and a half years; then
with the Wabash, St. Louis g. Pacific
for three years and half and finally
with the Missouri Paciic-Iron Mountain
system. He has been in the service OF
the latter companies since May |, 1888.
and his headquarters during that time
have been in st. Louis.

represented in the Russian cavalry Of
ficer. Prince Louis has long been at
tentive to Grand Duchess Helen, a
hayward princess who two years ago
created sensation by jilting the heir
to the throne of Baden on the eve of
the day appointed for the wedding, and
who has since been credited with an in
fatuation for her cousin, Grand Duke
Michael, younger brother of the car.
Inasmuch as the orthodox Russian
church strictly prohibits marriages
between first cousins, the duchess has
now apparently made up her mind
that the next best thing is to become
a possible empress of the French.
