PRINCE GEORGE REpRlMANDs.
Objected to Certain Remarks of 6a-
Varian Scientist.

New York, March 31.-Professor
Ranke, a leading Bavarian scientist.
has been officially reprimanded, says
a Munich dispatch to The Journal and
American. for referring to the descent
OF man from the ape in the presence of
Prince George of Bavaria, who, to
make matters worse for Ranke, as it
appears, happened to attend the lecture
in uniform-the prince being a lieuten-
ant in the Life Guards
The statement to which Prince
George took especial exceptions was
this: Mans descent from the ape
cannot be argued out of existence by
the attempt of army officers and wom-
en- to squeeze in their waists by the
use of cOrsets."
Immediately afterwards Prince
George, who is p years of age, strut.
ted up to the old professor and told
him before a nsomful of students that
he must net make such derogatory
statements in future, and that no mat
ter where the people" came from, his
that is the royal family of Bavaria
could not possibly be descended from
an unreasoning animal, seeing that the
Wittelbachers were placed on earth by
providence to rule.

El Paso, Tex, March 31.-The usual
Sunday bull fight at Juarez, Mexico
was accompanied by a somewhat un-
usual feature, the goaded animal turn
ing the tables on the matador. Sew
eral bulls had been brought into the
arena. but the amusement they fur
nished was rather tame from a Mexi-

We're somewhat disgusted with the
brutal show, as horse after horse was

the picadors and matadors escaped

This was all changed when Jarligo,
the premier matador, was preparing to
thrust his long, double-edged sword in
to the heart of the fifth bull which
had faced him. 1t stood in the center
vi JHS arena, Dl0oulnS from many
wounds. Suddenly the bull made a
quick lunge for the fighter. So un-
expected was the attack that the fight
er was unable to make the customary
side step. He was caught on the bulls
horns in the middle of the body and
tossed about like a toy balloon. Before
he could be reached. Jarligo's cloth
ing was literally stripped from his
body and his right leg and hip were
severely lacerated. 1t will probably
prove his last bull fight as it is not
thought that he will be able to step
into the arena again as a matador.

MoURNERs CARRIED RIFLES.
Burial of the Victims in the Recent
Kentucky Fight.

Kentucky Fight.
Chicago, March 31.-The Tribune's
Whitesburg, Ky. special says two
unique professions were witnessed in
Pike county Sunday afternoon. There
were over 200 mOurners and every
man carried. rife across his shoul
der.
One was the funeral of the two Hat
fields, Thompson and his son, Eph.
rain, who were killed in u double
tragedy Saturday morning, the other
victims being John Rutherford and
Harry Watts. The Hatfields were
buried on thu mountain side The 9th
er funeral was that of John Ruther
ford. Both were conducted at the
same time and the two professions
were in plain view of the other.
The RutherfOrds are very much
wrought up over the killing of their
kinsmen, and it is likely that a feud
which may eclipse the celebrated Hat
field-McCoy feud has just begun. Any
suspicious move on the part of the
mourners in either procession would
have caused a rCopening of the war.

New York, March 31-Albert T.
Patrick, convicted last week of MUIR
der in the first degree for plotting the
death of Millionaire William Marsh
Rice and now awaiting the death SEN
tence. and Miss Addie l.. Francis have
become husband and wife in the ma
irons room of the Tombs, according
to The Journal and American.
A pen stroke did it, despite all meas
ures taken to prevent.
The arrangements were so perfectly
made, so secretly planned and so clev-
erly executed that not until the mar
riage was irrevOcably complete were
Patrick's guards cognizant that it was
even intended. The fact that Commits.
siOner of Correction Hynes had declar.
ed his opposition to a marriage be-
tween the prisoner and the woman
who has been so faithful to him dur.
ing his long incarceration and the ex.
hausting tension of the long drawn.
out trial, made the TOmbs officials
more alert to prevent a marriage in
the prison.
The marriage is said to have been
accomplished, however, while the ma
tron was present The latter, how.
ever, was SO much preoccupied while
attending to the linen and her other
duties that she was unaware what was
going on.
Mrs. Francis, accompanied by heI
attorney, her sister and Patrick's ia.
ther, called at the TOmbs and asked
for conference with the prisoner. He
was escorted to the matrons room
and after few moments the guard is
said to have stepped outside. 1t is
said the wedding contracts were then
signed by Patrick and Mrs. Francis in
duplicate. Under a law enacted by
the legislature year ago this form OF
marriage is lawful when the signing of
the contract is witnessed by two per
sons. To perfect the ceremony it is
only necessary to file copy of the
contract with a magistrate within six
months.

The theory of the prosecution as

that Busse married his wife in order to
secure $2,800 that she had previously
obtained in a damage suit for seduc.
ton against another man. He pro.
posed marriage without any previous
courtship or acquaintance and was ac-
cepted. Eighteen months later it is
charged that he cut her throat, placed
her body on a feather bed, saturated
the whole with kerosene and set it on
fire. Then he left the house, ex.
pecting it to burn down, consuming the
body. What purported to be a con-
fession was secured from Busse.
