HER HUSBAND KNOWS
where PRINCESS is

Dresden Saxony, Dec. a3.-King George
and Crown Prince Frederick know where
Crown Princess Louise has sought refuge,
but they have decided to accept the es-
arrangement Of the princess and her hus-
band as irreparable. They have made the
cabinet privy to the circumstances of the
princess flight as they see them, and
decree Of divorce is talked OF as a ncces-
sary sequence to the princess resolution
to leave the court forever.
This determination the princess an
nounced to her husband early in Novem-
Der after one OF their frequent scenes. She
also confided her intention to separate her
self from the court and all its "wrctched-
ness to two or three of her intimate
friends and discussed with them "the inn
possibility of her longer enduring the arti-
fetal etiquette of the court and the forced
companionshp of man who was loath-
some to her"
The princess wrote to her mother at the
end of November that it was her purpose
to leave the crown prince and give up the
prospect of the queenship, which, instead
of being attractive, the princess frequently
said was detestable to her
She formally told members of her en-
tourage that she was going to visit her
parents at Salzburg. The letter OF the
princess to her mother brought the arch
duchess Immediately to Dresden.

the lack OF unity of action OH the part of

cruiser Tribune yesterday notified Mr..
Schuck, the consul OF Great Britain, that
the Caracas will enter the port of La
Guayra today. The Tribune then sailed
from La Guayra, leaving the Italian cruiser
Giovanni Bausan in charge of the blockade.
The first act Of the commander OF the
Bausan was to notify the agents of the
Red Line that the Caracas would not be al
lowed to land her passengers, mails or
freight. The commander of the United
States gunboat Marietta, Lieutenant Com
mander Diehl the commander of the
French cruiser Troude, and the United

Of the stand taken by the Italian conf
mander. whose decision was regarded as

GOOD SUGGESTIONS
Prof. Norwood Doing Excellent Work
for State Exhibit.
Every Mineral But Four May be Had
Here-Much Space Asked For.

Prof. q. J, Norwood, Of Lexington,
state inspector Of mines and curator OF
the state geological department, has
prepared, at the request Of the mineral
exhibit committee OF the Kentucky
Exhibit Association, of which he is
the expert, a large schedule of miner
ais than can be satisfactorily displayed
by Kentucky at the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition in st. Louis in 1904.
In addition to the olassifcstions
showing that Kentucky can have rep
resentation in all but four Of the Diff
erent ores and minerals in the mines
and metallurgy building at the worlds
fair, Prof. Norwood has submitted .
number Of good suggestions to make
the installation Of the exhibit COM
plete. The valuable information fur
nished by him is being sent to the
chairman Of every county organiza-
tion in the state, with q request that
he see just what his county can fur
nish for the mineral exhibit and also
give to the committee q list OF the
qusrries, wells, mines, kilns, potteries,
etc, in operation in his county.
The association has applied for g.
900 square feet of floor space in the
mines and metallurgy building at st.

BAILEY TO QUIT.
SECRETARY OF THE AMERICAN
LEGATION TO BE SUPER
SEEDED.

Washington, Dec. l5-At the state
department today the information was
obtained that James G. Bailey, secre-

Who is to take his place the officials
would not say, but that he is to be
retired was frankly admitted.
Mr.. Bailey halls from Msgofiin
county, Kentucky, and has held his
present position since early in 1901.
1t is on account of his connection with
the Hunter Fitzgerald episode that the
legation secretary is to lose his place.

AN UNUSUAL CASE
A RURAL YOUTH ONLY WANT
ED TO TOUCH HIMSELF.

Captain Joe Fowler has come in
contact with some peculiar people
since his wonderful maidstone came
into existence steen centuries ago, but
about the most curious specimen was
n young man from the genial cap
tains own county, Livingston, who
came in Saturday night from Birds.
Vile to have the maidstone, which lie
now in charge of Mr.. Frank Msntz,
. clerk in the boat store, applied to
him.
IL seems the youth has a rather ex-
aggerated idea of a maidstone. He
thought all you had to do was to slap
it onto your anatomy, and IL there was
any poison from mad dog or mad
any.other-sort-of-animal, the accom-
modating stone would stick and not
let go until all the virus is out
The young man in question was W.
II. Warner, and the only reason he came
was because he touched a hog a few
days ago that had been killed after
acting in crazy" manner He
thought after handling the animal
that it might have been mad, and he
might have contracted hydrophobia
from handling it. He was allowed to
take the maidstone, and when he touch
ed himself with it in several places
and it failed to stick, he returned
home perfectly satisfied.

The CLOCKS.
1T Is PROBABLE THE CHURCH
TIME PIECE Is ABOUT GONE.

Mayor Yeiser will in short time
advertise for bids for taking care Of
the two city clocks for two years.
The clocks have not been running
well for the past several weeks, and
this morning both were stopped.
The Baptist church clock, which has
been running pretty faithfully for
nearly half century, is about ready
to be discarded
The city hail clock, IL is claimed,
should run 35 or 40 years. 1t was
overhauled about 10 years ago, and
not since. One of the gentlemen who
had charge of it two years ago said
then that ii ought to be taken apart
and cleaned, but this has never been
done, and it is more than probable
that when the new contract is let, il
will be stipulated that it be thorough
ly overhauled which will cost $40 or
$50 extra.
Mr.. Warren, the jeweler who has
charge of the clocks, stated today
that the reason the clocks stopped
yesterday was that the hands froze.
He said that some one recently drove
a nail in the case that encloses the
city hall clock weight, and when
il descended and struck the nail, it
stopped the clock. He found and
pulled out the nail Saturday. Last
winter, he says, the hands OF the
clocks froze four times.

WALLPAPER WORTH A FORTUNE

A portion of one of the walls Of
an old.fashioned unpretentious resi-
dence in Albany, N. Y, is adorned
with wallpaper valued at upward of
5000, 900, says the Boston Herald. To
be more specific, the wallpaper men
toned is valued at the rate of $50 per
square inch. This high priced wallpa-
per consists of very rare revenue
stamps, priced in current stamp cata-
logues at $3.50 each, and readily sell at
500 per copy. Fairy tales of apart
ments having walls plastered with
stamps of priceless value have gone the
rounds O." stamp Journals, but this is
a rue'story. A local stamp dealer
has investigated the matter personally
and vouches for the accuracy of the
statements.
