ney Gurley, who has been the attorney
for the family for years, told the jury
Of the manner in which this great for
tune came to the princess. He told
them how the princess father, Eber
B. Ward, when he died, Jan. 2, 1875,
left to his widow and two children vast
tracts Of pine land in the vicinity of
Ludington, Mich. IN years this be-
came very valuable. The widow, on
her husbands death, had turned the
management Of the estate over to Mr..
Lyons, as trustee. The estate was man
aged jointly until, in 1894, it was par
titioned equally between the widow,
the son, Eber B. Ward, Jr., and the
daughter, Clara, who was then the
Princess de Chimay, having married
Joseph de Riquet, Prince de Chimay.
The divorce Of the prince in 1891
took from the estate 100000, which
the courts allowed him for the sup
port of the two children which had
been born to them, and whose custody
had been allowed him. This 100000
is exclusive Of the 100000 mentioned
in the testimony before the jury.
CLARA isn't really half as bad as she
is painted" said her uncle, Mr. Lyons.
you would find hard work meeting a

last girl you would suspect of going
through the eScapadeS which have
made her SO famous. But away from
their control she becomes Eighty, and
nobody can tell what she is going
to do.
"She was born in Detroit, Feb. II,
1873. Her mother was my sister.
Clara's father dropped dead on the
streets of Detroit when she was only
2 years old, and her mother brought
her and her older brother to Chicago,
where they lived for year, when she
took the two children to Europe"

How much suffering is caused by fear
in this world-and how much useless
suffering. All the terrors of supersti-
ton are utterly useless-yet they have
inflicted suffering beyond calculation.
The dreadful fear Of ghosts that never
existed has probably caused more act
ual suffering especially among chill
dren-than any dozen illnesses. The
great mission Of civilization and of re-
ligion is to do away with the reign Of
fear in the heart and the imagination.
1t is comforting to know that each cen
fury sees some step taken toward free
ing men from fear and it's accompany
ing torture. We believe that the keen
est suffering through fear comes from
dread of being found out" What man
or child has not during life suffered
keenly the dread of exposure? Who
has not in dreams suffered from fear
so keenly as to make the dream seem
real for hours after waking and leave
a genuine sensation of agony in the
mind? The mother suffers the agony Of
fear when her child is Ill. Medical
science Is constantly and successfully
struggling to eliminate that sour of
suffering through fear The working
man with wife and children depending
on him lives in constant dread Of the
notice In his pay envelope: "Hereaf-
ter your services will not be required"
This fear causes him intense and use
xuh mind
and prevents his best effort. That form
Of fear is gradually fading out, thanks
to improved industrial conditions, and
especially to the growing power of
trades unionism, which compelS the
employer to share the risk and the
worry. The animals, living in con-
slant struggle for life, know fear, but
only when danger is actually present.
There is no reason to think that they
suffer the agony of anticipation, which
so often tortures men. They are mer-
cifully spared. There is much encOur-
agement for all In the gradual extinc-
ton Of fear as a factor in our daily
lives. Every one who helps along this
extinction helps to free mankind from
slavery most painful. Every person
can do something toward minimizing
the suffering caused by fear. Free chill
dren from their dread of darkness and
of ghosts-never infiict fear upon them
by forcing them to do that which
frightens them. Cheer up the despond
ent man or woman whose fear for the
future makes the present dark. Danish
fear from your own life, and decide
with the old Greek that by living just
~ you will put yourself beyond the
power of any man, and, therefore, be-
yond the reach of fear.

N0iseless baseball, as distinguished
from the game played largely with the
lungs, may not be so far distant as 1t
seems to many Respondent lovers of a
sportsmanlike game. A graduate pub

noiseless game would do more good
to that institution than winning
the championship. The campaign

Yet the influence of these and other
sports has been so strong in recent
years that open-air life has come to be
enjoyed for it's own sake and apart
from the amusements associated with
it. 1t is great mistake to suppose that
the pleasures Of outdoor life are espe-
cial privileges Of youth or Of any given

The immense advantages they confer
should be shared by all alike. In the

"FRENCH MARY"
Cne of the Most Noted Female Charac-
ters of the Civil War;

ters of the Civil War.
Mrs. Mary Leonard, famous as
"French Mary" vivandiere of the One
Hundred and Fourteenth Pennsylvania
volunteer regiment in the Civil War,
committed suicide the other day at her
home in Pennsylvania. She was one of
the most noted female characters Of
the Civil War, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Wounded once in battle, she
was honored in many ways for con-
spicuous bravery. She committed sui
eide evidently through a whim. For
many years the aged woman had been
an invalid, and lately was great suf-
1erer from rheumatism and rebel bull
let which she still carried in her left
ankle. She was 81 years old.
French Mary" gained her sobriquet
from having been a native Of France
Her fathers life was lost in a French
revolution. She was married at the
age Of Is, and came to this country
with her husband shortly before the
outbreak of the Civil War. The hus-
band joined one of the zouaye regi-
ments. She became nurse and VIVIAN
diere and made considerable money.

gagged her support in organizing the

Jury in Probate Court So Considers

jury In the Probate Court, Chicago, be-

age her financial affairs. Thomas r.
Lyons, her uncle, and the petitioner in
the case, was appointed conservator of
her estate. He filed a bond Of $780,
900.
The jury of six men sat in open
mouthed wonder while Mr.. Lyons and
Attorney Gurley told them how the &C.
centric princess had spent 100000, in
addition to an annual income ranging
from $50, 900 to $4,000 a year, since she
came into possession of her property in
1894. Then the jurors affixed their sig
natures to the verdict by which the
woman was declared a spendthrift.
The present action Of the uncle was
precipitated by the demand made in
February last from Egypt for $4,000
to pay the woman's accumulated debts.
These had accrued in two years, dur
ing which time she had also spent her
princely income.
Tell the jury how she spends so
much money" directed Attorney Cur
ley, while Mr.. Lyons was on the wit
ness stand.
"WeIl, take, for instance, this case.
Once In Paris she paid $4,000 for a
pair Of diamond earrings. Then later
when she needed money, she pawned
them for small sum, and never re-
deemed Them" was the answer. Then
Mr.. Lyons told of her mania for buy

What "sardonic Smile, Means.

The origin of many of our common
words makes an interesting study. We
often hear in conversation or read in
books about a sardonic smile or a sar-
donic grin, but we never stop to think
that "sardonic' is derived from the
name of an island in the Mediterranean
Sea-Sardinia. There grows in S.ar-
dina a certain plant which when eaten
Fuckers the face of the eater into a
peculiar expression resembling smile.
From the grin caused by eating of the
Sandman plant, smile that PERSONS

pearance of mirth or happiness, but
covering pain or misery is said 10 be

An interesting temperance measure

An interesting temperance measure
was presented in the New York Legis
lature, recently adjourned, but failed
of passage. Its purpose was to oblige
all saIoonkeepers to sell tea, coffee,
milk and chocolate as well as intoxi-
cants. The theory of those who draft
ed it was that many men who seek the
saloons for warmth and light and so
ciability, and drink from a sense of
obligation, would be content with tenn
perance beverages and perhaps prefer
them, if they were to be had. The OPP
ponents Of the bill argued that the
saloonkeepers might easily defeat its
purpose if they wished by serving tea
and coffee of so poor quality that no
one would drink it; but plan similar
to that provided for IN the bill has been
tried in certain saloons in England, and
with considerable success.

kissing Queen Victoria,

Apropos Of presentations is an anec-
dote illustrating the Queens tact and
kindness An American debutante, who
was both young and pretty, in making
her court courtesy committed the error
of kissing the Queen. Instantly real!z-
ing her blunder, the poor girl nearly
tainted, ard hurried home in a most
distressed state of mind. Next day the
American Minister was asked by her
parents to present her apologies through
the proper channels. simultaneously
there reached the legation note for
our Minister from her Majesty's secre-
tary, stating that, comprehending the
Young Americans embarrassment, VIC
toria sent her an invitation to state
dinner. Needless to say that this kind
ness not only silenced adverse criticism,
but gave our fair countrywoman an
open sesame to the London season.
