daughters of the late Edwin Parker
Deacon, of Boston, Mass. Mr.. Deacon,
on February II, 1892, shot and killed
Edward Abeille, Frenchman, at
Cannes, France. Abeille was a wealthy
clubman, whom he suspected of being
intimate with Mrs. Deacon. Deacon
was convicted and sentenced to- yearin
prison, but was pardoned by President
Sadi-Carnot in September of the same
year. Divorce proceedings followed
and the children were divided, Mrs.
Deacon being given the custody of two
and her husband of the other two.
Gladys Parker is the second daugh-
ter of the Deacon family. She is 20
years old, tall and has a slender and
graceful figure. Her features and
head are pronounced. absolutely be-
yond criticism by the artistic brother
hood, even when judged by the sever
est examples of classic beauty. Her
eyes are large and of deep gray and
are tinged with violet while her eye
brows are arched, delicately peneiled,
and several shades darker than her
hair. which is of the purest and deep
est golden. She speaks French and
German Auently. Her debut was at
the Vanderbilt AIarlborough wedding,
at which she was bridesmaid. She is
a close friend Of the young duchess of
Marlborough, who was Sonsuelo Van
derbilt.
The German crown prince was born
in 1882. Like all other scions of the
house of Hohenlollern. his education
has been thorough and he is at present
enrolled as a student Of the university
of Bonn. The prince and Miss Gladys
met for the first time at Blenheim,
the famous country seat of the Mari
/ boroughs. on the occasion of bis high
ness visit to his granduncie, the king
Of Great Britain, Both prince and
fair commoner are of the same age;
and, according to the Paris newspa-
per, it was a case of reciprocal love
at first sight The emperor had asked
the king to see that the prince got an
insight into the country life Of tle
English aristocracy, and the King Sc
cured him an invitation to Blenheim,

empire.
Emperor William, viewing the affair
In different light, sent a messenger
to Miss Deacon. demanding the return
of the ring given to her by the
crown prince and sayingi that
the ring was not the property
Of the prince, but was gift
of the late Empress Frederick to the
German nation. Miss Deacon, backed
by the duchess OF Marlborough. indig-
nantly refused to part withfthe pre-
cious love token. Messenger succeeded
messenger, each Of higher rank and
each more diplomatic in his manner
than the preceding one, until at last
Miss Deacon, in a fit of anger and
wounded love, threw the ring IN the
face Of the imperial representation.
In the meantime the crown prince was
closely confined TO his room, aud his
uncle, Prince Henry of Pruss IA, was
sent to represent Emperor William at
the coronation Of King Edward
In England very little attention is
paid to the sensational stories of the
Matin, because Frederick Williams
partially for American girls is well
known. Last summer, when he visited
London as the guest of the duke of
Connaught. he met many Americans
at the Carlton hotel A week later be
was entertained at Blenheim, where he
was given further opportunity Of cul-
tiyating the acquaintance of several
captivating Americans. His name,
however, was not mentioned in connec-
tion with that of any special young
woman until informa ton reached Lon
don that he was an admirer Of Geral-
dine Farrar, Massachusetts, girl who
made a brilliant success at the Berlin
Royal opera last winter. 1t was al
legged in English society circles also
that The emperor refused to allow his
son to go to luncheon on the American
yachts during the recent races at Kiel,
fearing he might fall victim to the
graces of some American beauty.
3 Another report has it that the crown
princes love affair, which aroused his
fathers ire, concerned a German and
not an American girl. This latest fam
cy of the Prussian Romeo is said to be
a Miss Schuckert, daughter of a
wealthy electrical manufacturer at
Nuremberg, who attends seminary
at Bonn. The prince liked her and paid
her considerable attention, but the

where Gladys Deacon was visiting.
The young HohenGollern protraeted
his visit unduly, led the cotillon every
right with the pretty American and
returned only when peremptorily or
dered by his father. Last spring the
prince got permission to visit Lucerne,
in Switzerland, for three days, which
he extended TO ten days because me
met Miss Deacon there.
According to the Matin the crown
prince at that time proposed a NOR
ganatic marriage, but Miss Deacon
spurned the suggestion and informed
him that if he desired to marry her a
religious and civil ceremony would be
necessary. Three days after her ulti-
matum, it is further reported, Fred
ericl William gave her a ring which
he had sworn never to give to any wom-
an except his wife. About this time
the emperor heard of the entangle-
ment, and violent scenes took place be-
tween father and son. Being cruelty
reproved by the emperor for his dis
obedience and lack of common sense,
the prince threatened to do as did the
Austrian arehduke, who took the name
of John 0rth and renowned his rights
to the throne for the woman he loved.
The prince said he would rather have

Qondon Promoter Responsible for Lord
Dunerin's Death.)
been circulating on the stock exchange
and signed by many influential men
demanding the prosecution of Whita-
ker Wright, as it is considered that the
credit of the city and the stock eH-
change demands a thorough investiga-
ton of the London and Globe methods
of finance.
Whitaker Wright is one of the most
noted of the meteoric fnaneiers of the
many who have filled the public eye.
He began life as a footnan and friend
less. an ordinary mining SPECTATOR.
But he had suavity and a genius for
organization. lie formed q number OF
companies and made money rapidly,
millions of it, Then he induced Lord
Dutferin to accept the Craftsmanship of
the London and Globe Finance cor
poration. This gave the public conf
dence and Wright made millions so
rapidly that he had hard work in
spending it.
In England Wright began to be
called the ''modern Monte Cristo." He
boughtan estate in Surrey and planned
series OF alterations requiring 10
years to carry out
When he entered into possession of
the estate a large hill in the center of
the park was source of greal annoy
ance to him, and he forthwith had it
removed piecemeal and erected in an
other part Of the grounds which he
thought more desirable.
Just as readily as he whisked hills
about, so MIR. Wright made and unmade
lakes, and one which he had construct
ed is certainly novelty, if a somewhat
costly one. 1t is situated at some dis
lance from the house, and beneath it
a large cavern fitted with a glass roof
has been built. This concern is con-
nected with the house by a subter-
ranean passage, and in hot summer
days formed a favorite retreat Of Mr..
| Wright's. What sort of an effect the
sudden collapse of the glass would
have had can better be imagined than
/ described.
One of the features of Lea park is
/ a magnificent Italian fountain, which
Mr.. Wright saw in the courtyard of an
old Italian palace and promptly
bought, paying the owner his own
price. Two days after it had changed
hands it was on board one of its new
owners yachts, accompanied by sew
eral Italian masons and sculptors, on
its way to England. This is merely one
instance of Mr.. Wright's extreme way
of securing what he wanted. When he
desired anything to improve or beau
tify his estate he forthwith bought it,
paying almost any price to crafty his
| desire.
The grounds at Lea park abound
with grottos and summer houses.
/ nesting in secluded corners among
shady trees, while almost priceless
marble statuary is to be found every

A brief for the state in an early Ne
braska case indulges In the following
prairie flowers Of fancy:
plaintiffs IN error are afraid that the
honor and dignity Of the state will suf-
fer, and they invoke for the claimants
broad principles of natural equity and
the claim that neither the laws gov
erning courts nor the constitution ap-
plies to them. The logical sequence is
this-that persons who hold claims
against the state are favored class,
who can alone make wings of Justice
and right to fly to that mystic region
above and beyond the trammels of law,
and where such unjust things as con-
tracts and written constitutions do not
exist, but where for them straight
and narrow pathway leads to the treas
ury. whose doors, without stint or de-
lay, turn softly on golden hinges to ad-
init them. Yet II do not very much
mistake this court these wings will
unfeather in their flight, and claimants
against the state must fall to common
level with all other liugants and stand
up to the rack where is fed that good
old fodder Of Justice and right as ad-
ministered by our courts"

served species of small gray ants
which were new to him. These ants
were much engaged in travelling They
lived in damp places and went in
troops. To his surprise he noticed
among them from time to time an oc-
casional ant which was much larger
than the others and moved at much
swifter pace, and each of these larger
ants M. Meissen saw always carried
one Of the gray ants on its back. While
the main body of gray ants were al.
ways on foot. they were accompanied
by at least one of their own sort

with f. Grrin of Salt.

The earliest record Of the saying.
"With grain of salt" dates back to
tho year G3 b. c.. when the great Pom
pey entered the palace Of Mithridates
and discovered among his private pa
pers the description Of an antidote
against poisons of NIL sorts, which was
composed OF pounded herbs. These, ac-
cording to the recipe, were to be taken
with grain OF salt. Whether this was
meant seriously or us warning sar-
casm Ii not known, but thenceforth 1t
became the custom to say that doubt
fpl preparations should be taken with
grain ofsalt.
From this the meaning got trans
ferred to sayings of doubtful truth.
"Attic salt" was u Greek synonym for
wit or penetration. and the Latin word
"saw had somewhat OF the same mean.
Ing. 1t IL thus easy to see how the
saying, "Cum grano Sails" could have
come to mean the necessity Of accept.
Ing doubtful or suspicious statements
with grain Of salt"
