Adventurous Princes who Fell Victims
to Disease or Bullets.
The death Of Prince Henri dOrleans
calls attention to the fact that princes
who go roaming about the world have
no protection against the common fate,
and frequently die far away from the
land of their birth, of diseases due to
the climate, even sometimes from. a
bullet. The Prince Imperial was killed
in the Zulu war in South Africa;
Prince Christian Victor Of sehleswig-
Holstein died Of fever in the Boer war.
and Prince Henry of Battenherg died
of fever in a little war on the West
Coast of Africa. The Prince Of Condo,
a young man of great promise, and pas
sionately fond of travel, died in Aus
tralia. Now Prince Henri d'Orleans
dies in Saigon, Indo-China Prince
Henri gained much notoriety through
his visit to Abyssinia and his subse-
uuent duel with the Count Of Turin. 1t
was a genuine duel, and real blood was
shed in it; but the prince died, after all
his adventures, of an abscess on the
liver. A relative of Prince Henri
fought another celebrated duel In 1870,
He was the Duke of Montpensier, and
he fought with the Duke Of Seville,
whom he killed, greatly to his own dis
may and the surprise Of the spectators.
They were both brothers-in-law OF
Queen Isabella of Spain. A Bourbon
Prince who has protested recently
against duelling in all its forms is the
brother Of Don Carlos, the pretender
to the Spanish throne. This Prince,
Don Alfonso, is devout man and a
good citizen, but he cannot enter Spain,
for in case of the death of Don Jayne
he would become his brothers heir as
representative of the Carlist cause

When the sacred college is complete
there are 70 cardinals, namely six
bishops, so priests and II deaeons.
Cardinals of a lower order have, with
the consent of the pope. the right Of
option 10 pass to higher order. The
deacols can chose the vacant places
of the cardinal priests if they have
been deacons for ten years, and have
been ordained to the priesthood. The
senior cardinal priest present in
Rome when one Of the six bishoprics
falls vacant has the option to succeed
10 it, with the exception Of the sees
of Ostia and of Porto, which are re-
served for the dean and the subdean
of the sacred college. The dean is
the senior cardinal, dating from his
promotion to one of the sees.
There are now 67 cardinals-40 Ital.

is said that Pope Leo XIII. desires
always to have the membership near
the plenum, or limit, and that he said
just before making out the recent list
of - new cardinals:

many as possible TO choose from in

sessful diplomat was reared in the
Protestant orphan asylum at Ale

IS an Office boy for a physician and
left that place to accept a similar oc-
eupation with the ShOenberger Steel
company. This was lucky stroke.
In Y Years he was cashier of the com

with w. P. Snyder in the from broker
age business. In 1856 he formed his
Connection with the Carnegie com
panv and remained with that concern
until 1897. He is noted for his fine

capacity as q host.
