AN AMERICAN PRINCESS.
Father Was Formerly New
Orleans Banker

The divorce instituted some time
ago by the princess of Monaco
against the prince is still pending
and again is being preached the les
son of the American girl who sold
her birthright and her freedom for
a title, one, by the way, now held in
disgrace by all other foreign rulers
because it's owner broke faith, one
given thought only in connection
with the gaming table and broken
promises. The story of the princess
of Monaco since she left America is
one which has been told many times
and which is now being rehearsed to
be told in the courts of divorce.
That she has taken this step for her
freedom is not a matter of surprise
to those who have come in contact
with the prince. The matter of
surprise lies in the fact that she has
not sought legal separation long
ago, says a Paris report.
The princess was Miss Mary Alice
Heine, daughter of Michael Heine, a
rich banker of New Orleans, who
later transferred his interests to
this city. However, this made the
daughter none the less American
born. The history of her first ro-
nance is not recorded but the IA
Their and daughter sought a titled
marriage for the latter when they
removed to Paris. They succeeded
in gaining their desires, for the
daughter became the bride of the
French duke of Richelieu, of Alquil-
Ion and of Fronza.
That was some "a years ago and
some five or six years later the hus-
band died. The life of the duchess
had been a rather unheard of exist
ence until she claimed distinction by
marrying the profigate prince of
Monaco. 1t is true that according to
ranking the prince was something
more than an ordinary nobleman and
this no doubt held snares for the
American girl, already bearing a
title.
The duchess wore wondrously
beautiful gowns-creations which aC
once excited admiration or astonish-
ment. The prince wooed and the
prince won in remarkably short
time. In fact, she had ceased to dis
guise her intentions, so says the
story. Then there came time
when she wished broader fields to
conquer. The banking house of
Heine was pouring gold in her cof-
fers and she caused the prince to
make the announcement to the other
reigning sovereigns that he would
no longer derive benefits from so ig-
noble a source as the gambling dens

POST CHECK MONEY.
Safe Transmission of Currency
Through the Mails.

A clear-headed business man has put
his practical mind to work and evolved
a sensible plan for postal currency
which has been embodied in the Nc
Millan-Gardner bill now before con-
gress. 1t seems to be altogether the
best suggestion yet put forth for Sc
caring a safe and convenient method
of sending money through the mail.
In brief, it is proposed to reissue all
one, two and five-dollar treasury notes,
coin or silver certificates now in circu-
lation and have the faces of the new
bills provided with blank lines. This
would be the ordinary money of the
day. When one wishes to send money
by mail, say $500, he takes such bill
from his pocketbook, writes on its face
the name of the person or firm to whom
it is to go, the city and state, affixes and
cancels two-cent stamp in the square
indicated (one-cent stamp for frac-
tional bills), and signs his name on the
back. The bill which previously was
negotiable money now becomes a per-
sonal check on the United States gov
tl hlANllb lOI p@.OO, dS SAFE lOI lldAS-
mission as any bank check. 1t is en-
closed in a letter to the person or firm
desired and is collected by the receiver
upon Identification at the post office
named, new bill being given for the
old one.
The scheme would be of great benefit
to farmers, business men and publish
ers; ladies would appreciate its con-
venience. Business houses now receive
large quantities of postage stamps
through the mails. One Chicago pub
Usher reports the receipt of $350,O00 in
stamps in one year, nearly $1,000 per
day. Others have this same experience
on a smaller scale. With post check
money this nuisance is avoided as well
as the tiresome and time-consuming
trip to the post office to secure a money
order; a convenient, safe and instantly
available form of money is supplied
with which the public can safely
transact mail business which now ag-
gregated in small sums upwards of two
billion dollars year. The small fee
charged would probably aggregate
larger revenue to the government than
is received from the present money or
der system. The continual retirement
and re-issuing of these bills would in
sure clean money and keep the circula-
ton at par.
The financial policy of tn govern
ment is not disturbed, the only change
being in the form of printing upon the
bills. The inventor offers the govern
ment his patent free of cost upon adop-
ton. The acceptance of this system
would be FASTENED if all who desire it
would write their senators and repre-
sentatives in Washington urging it's
adoption.

COLDS DUE TO OvERCOATS.
But Few Men Realize That They Make
Mistakes in Their Use of
the Garment.

Physicians generally agree that over
coats are responsible for the colds
with which so many people are affiict-
ed, and they give a thoroughly scien-
tific explanation of the fact. When a
thick overcoat is worn, they say, the
warm moisture given off by the body
is prevented from escaping. 1t col
lects in the coat, vest and undercIoth-
ing, thoroughly saturating them. This
is not of much consequence so long as
the overcoat is worn, but when that is
taken off the wearer is in the position
of butter cooler surrounded by a
damp cloth. The heat of his body is
conducted away in large quantities and
he suffers a sudden and severe chill.
To this are due many colds as well as
lumbago, rheumatism and neuralgia.
As a rule the overcoat is taken off
at the worst time-that is, when eXer-
else has ceased. The routine for many
men is: Breakfast in warm room;
quick walk in heavy overcoat; ar
rival at a cold and draughty office in
a state of perspiration; removal of the
overcoat and a fit of shiyers.
To avoid these results several courses
are open. First, one might advantage
ously rely for protection from the cold
on warm wooden underclothing. Il
one is young and robust, it is not nee
essary to wear an overcoat at all. Then
the evaporation of moisture will go on
gradually and there will be no chill.
Another plan is to wear one heavy
walking coat and change it for light
er coat indoors. This is an ideal ar
rangement from hygienic point of
view. But if the day is exceptionally
cold light and porous overcoat may
be safely worn.

Gen. Frederick Funston, in discuss
ing the water cure" form of tor
ture charged against the soldiers in
the Philippines, said that he had
never seen the "water cure" applied,
but he had heard it described. ''The
victim is bound and canteen forced
into his mouth" said the general.
His head is thrown upward and
back and his nose grasped by the
fingers of the torturer Strangula-
ton follows as matter of course.
When the victim is about suffocated
the application is released and he is
given a chance to talk on recovery or
take another dose of it. The opera
ton is brutal beyond a doubt, but
hardly fatal.

A CASE OF PROVIDENCE.
Jones Had Everything Fixed All
Right So There Was No Blame
Coming to Him.

81 have heard more or less about
the ways of Providence" said a De-
troiter who was in a reflective mood
the other day, relates the Free Press,
land / can cite what looks like a fair
instance of it. l was in the western
part of the state this last winter,
and business took me out to a farm
where a portable steam engine was
saving wood. Things were running
at high pressure, with half a dozen
men at work, and l sat down on a
log with my man to talk business. An
engineer might have noticed by the
hiss of the steam that the water in
the boiler of the engine was low, but
of course l had no suspicious. l had
been talking for perhaps ten min
utes when a big rat ran out from
under a pile of wood and made for
the barn. Some one raised a veil,
and we all jumped up and grabbed
clubs and started after the rodent.
The snow was deep enough to bother
him, and we overlook him about 200
feet from the engine. We were in a
circle and Hhacking at him when
there was a roar like a cannon and
every man was knocked fiat. The
boiler had burst, and if we had kept
our places not man of us would
have escaped death. AS it was, no
one was even hurt. A justice of the
peace came along just then and said
he thought he'd hetter hold an in
quest.
"'As no one has been killed, what's
the use of an inquest?' was asked.
"'To fix the blame for the burst

But how are you going to do it?'
"'Youll see. Now, then, Jones, you

but to lay it on to Providence and be

Dummy weapons for Officers.

lay down that an officer is still to
carry a revolver in his belt, but is
also to be equipped with carbine.
Some wiseacre has induced the au-
thorities to add that no carbine am
munition whatever is to be allowed.
The carbine is to be merely dummy
weapon, the idea being to make the
officer as little distinguishable from
his men as possible, but at the same
time to prevent him from yielding to
the temptation to shoot when he
should be looking after his men,
