The Crown Prince to Blame.

Vienna, Dec. 23.-The flight of the

great excitement here. It is report

lains, went to Geneva, whittier it was
supposed the princess had fled, but he
failed to find any trace of her. The
princess brother, Archduke Leopold
Ferdinand, is said to be with her, but
nothing can be asctrtained as to her
whereabouts. It is officially explain

is little doubt, however, that it was
caused by domestic discord growing
out of her husbands relations with
theatre. 1t is asserted here that the
princess frequently threatened flight
on this account, and that she was in
censed at her father, the grand duke
Of Tuscany, for counselling her to for
give her husband. She is said to be
enciente. 1t is rumored here tonight
that the princess was accompanied
by a French tutor of her children.

LORD DERBY
AFTER RECORD
TRAINING HIM TO BEAT Cries.
cEus NEXT SEASON.
OWNER VERY CONFIDENT
Some of the Trials Lord Derby Has
Already Made-Horse Has
Speed.

New York, Dec. 22.-Lord Derby,
2:05%, E. E. Smather's amateur
wagon champion racer, will be train
ed to beat the worlds record of
2:O1A, held by Cresceus, next season.
Lord Derby has on several occa-
sions shown so much speed that his
owner is confident that he will some
day in the neal future be able to
eclipse the wonderful performance of
the mighty son of Robert McGregor.
In his wagon races last season with
The Monk, Lord Derby showed that
he had a burst of speed equaled only
by that of the champion himself.
He has tretted quarters better than
80 seconds, and is credited with 60
ing a half mile better than one min
ute.
This was at Memphis, in the race
for the Memphis challenge cup, in
which Lord Derby scored two straight
heats. In the second heat Lord Der
by went to a break before the quar-
ter and when he recovered The Monk
had gained 10 or IL lengths.
Once in his stride, however, Lord
Derby began to close in on his fee
ing rival, but it was not until with
in a few feet of the finish that he had
gained an advantage that would give
him the decision.
To do this Lord Derby was forced
to trot the last three-quarters in 1870.
This is a two-minute gait, and if
Lord Derby had trotted the first quar-
ter in 81 seconds or 80 seconds, his
time would be still better than that
of Cresceus.
In speaking of the performance re-
Gently Mr.. Smathers said that several
of his friends caught Lord Derby's
time for the middle half in :59h.
II mention this" said Mr.. Smath-
ers, 'just to show that our opinion
is based on facts. Lord Derby has the
speed, and all that is necessary for
him to go a wonderful mile is tt learn
to carry the clip.
Heretofore Lord Derby has been
trained to go the quarter very slow.
This left him only the last part of the
mile in which to make up all his time.
'Now W. are going to change that
and have him go down to the quarter
at his own clip. There is no reason
why he should lot go the full mile
in fast time when he is educated to it.
Once Lord Derby settles in his stride
he sails over the ground like a whirl-
wind and never seems to tire.
"This was shown conc1usively in
his race at Memphis with The Monk.
He trotted that last three-quar-
tiers in 1880, was going fast at the
finish and was still strong. Barring
accidents, expect Lord DERBY to dc
some great work next season."

The Christmas tree industry is now
at it's height in Maine, says a dispatch
from Bangor to the New York Tribune.
Many carloads and even vessel loads
Of the trees are going forward every
week to the large cities. A few years
ago the fir tree was looked upon as a
nuisance in Maine. Now it is a source
of considerable income to hundreds and
to the transportation companies as well.
The beginning of it's popularity was
in 1892, when a party of hunters who
had been in a steam yacht to New
foundland to shoot caribou called II
Sargentville. on Penobscot bay, to visit
some abandoned copper mines a short
distance inland. The leaves had fallen
from the deciduous trees, causing the
dark evergreens TO stand out in bold
relief against Il neutral background Of
browns and grays. The owner of the
yacht was struck by the beauty of the
scene and also with a practical idea.
He hired men and horses and had cut
about 600 of the frs, which he carried
on the deck of his yacht to Boston.
where they were offered for sale.
The demand exceeded the yachtman's
greatest expectations, for the whole
lot was snapped up in short order. So
profitable was the first venture that in
the next Christmas season fully $4,000
frs were sent from the shores of Pc
nObscot bay to Boston, where they
were all sold at good prices, and in the
following year the trade was extended
eagerly TAX II. In 1896 the shipments
of trees from Maine to the large cities
had increased to about 100000, and in
1899 over 100000 were sold.
In some sections where the fir is es-
pecially prolific the cutting and pre-
pairing of Christmas trees is made the
occasion of festive gatherings CORE
spending to the huskings in falltime,
whole families going into the woods
n taking their dinners along. A man
cuts the tree close to the roots, and a
boy or a strong girl cuts with a sharp

pluck branches of glossy wintergreen
and gather the red fruit of the wild
raisin shrub, all Of which are packed
in boxes and sent to the cities for the
making of wreaths and garlands for
the decoration of church and home.
The evergreen harvests are generally
bought by men who make Il business
of supplying the Christmas markets of
the cities, though many farmers and
others send their crops direct to mar
ket. For trees five to six feet in height
the buyers in Maine pay ) cents each,

est and Best.
The briquette plant. built here by the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company. at an
expense of about $50 900. was fired up
two weeks ago. says the Gallup Repub-
lican. On Monday they commenced
the manufacture Of gas which will be
used for heating purposes. Next week
they will m to turn out bri-
quotes in the form of tnree-inch cubes
from which a certain amount of coke
will be made. The coke made by this
process is of a superior quality and
will be worth Sc per ton here. 1t is
expected that 100 tons of briquettes
can be made each day with a force of
thirty men. An unlimited market can
be found with the ocean steamers. one
ton of briquettes being equal in heat
ing power to three tons of coal. There
is a good demand for the coke in sew
eral directions. The nearest coke
ovens to Gallup are at Waldo, on the
Santa Fe. and the coal used there is
shipped from Trinidad. A plant of
much larger capacity will be built here
next winter; lump Goa will be crushed
and used instead of slack. r.. C. Hill.
of Denver, is the inventor of the pro
cess and is the manager of the plant.
ID. w. King of Denver, is the superin-
tendent. The force employed at pres
ent will soon be increased. In the Pre-
cess, the slack is first washed thor
oughly and dried in a rapidly revolv-
ing centrifugal dryer, it is then dump
ed by an elevator into a retort and sub
jected to intense heat by which the
gases and coal tar are separated from
the slack, the gases being used for fuel.
The coal. after being crushed, is mixed
with tar and is then pressed into bri-
quotes.
The success of the plant is insured.
and Gallup is very fortunate in the To-
cation.
