Baron George Heckeren, who has just
years, was for the past forty years one
of the most conspicuous. and. / may
add, popular figures in the French me-
tropolis. His popularity, however. did
not extend to Russian visitors and resi-
dents of the Gallo capital. for he bore

His father, old Baron d'Anthes- Heck
eren, who died in Paris about ten years
ago at the age of nearly ninety, in 1887,
killed the famous Russian poet, Push
kin, who has often been described as the
Russian Lord Byron. The duel was one
of the most sensational of the nineteenth
century.
Old Baron d'Anthes-H -Heckeren, the
father of the nobleman whose death has
just taken place, was half brother of
Napoleon III. being. like the Duke de
Morny, an illegitimate son of the first
Napoleon's adopted daughter, Queen

of this son of Queen Hortense, whom
King Louis refused to recognize, was.
according TO some, Prince Francis Louis
Hatzfelt; according to others, a Baron
Heckeren. who had been chamberlain
of Queen Hortense, but, who, after the
downfall of Napoleon. possessed suf-
ficient influence with the Orange dynasty
to secure the post of Dutch envoy to
the court of the Car AT any rate. it
was the baron who took charge of the

ANNOYED LIFE SAVERS.
The Small Boy is an Emphatic Nuisance
to Them.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Aug. 1.-Since
the advent of cheap life preservers here
the life guards have been kept in a state
bordering on nervous prostration through
the actions of men, women and chill
dren who go into the surf with these
devices carefully concealed under their
bathing robes.
The guards know full we'll that great
many of these persons are not expert
swimmers. and, therefore, when they
see them far cut beyond the danger line
they 20 out and order them in, in many
ca ses only to be laughed at for their
vigilance.
One small boy in particular has been
making a great deal Of trouble for the
life savers during the few days he has
been here He goes into the surf at q
different locality each day, and wears a
set of the floats. and after he has gene
out some distance he throws up his
hands and calls for help The guards
always respond. and then the boy larshs
a them for their trouble and dares them
to a swimming contest. In one day this
little rascal has been known to cause
crrnmotions on three different occasions
by yelling loudly for help. The last
guard to respond to the boys cries got
so angry that he grabbed him by the
collar and gave him good ducking.
This. however, did not prevent the boy
from going to another section of the
beach. where he went through his little
performance again.

LIVELY MEETING
STREE1-CAR men.
Confirm Election Of President
Simmons With 200 Not
Voting.

The meeting OF the street car men last
night was one Of the most interesting and
lively held recently by that body.
The election of President George Sim
mons as business agent was confirmed by
a vote Of about 800 to five or six, with go
not voting. Notice was given by those
who voted against the election of a BUSH
ness agent that an appeal would be taken
to the International President. Every eff
fort was made to rule the motion to
take an appeal out of order. One Of the
surprising developments was the COM
paratively small number voting. Nearly
half of the men did not vote at all The
return of the ballots showed $50 as not
voting one way or the other. Every one
was given equal opportunity as the bal
lot boxes were taken to the var1ous.car
sheds with the express purpose OF giving
all the men a chance to express their
wish as to the election Of a business agent
at this time.
The matter will be taken by the minor
ity to the tribunal of the supreme body
at once and until a decision comes from
that high and final source Mr.. Simmons
will remain business agent, If he so
elects.
The meeting last night began at $50.
About seventy-f1ve members we're pres
emit The members opposed to the bust
ness agent proposition were met with a
storm of disapproval
Two other matters of interest came up.
A committee was present representing
the street car men Of Petersburg. asking
that the men Of that city be admitted
into the association here. The secretary
was instructed to refer the matter to the
international secretary and final action
was postponed until next Friday night.
Another matter which is Of still greater
interest to the Richmond car men is that
it was reported to the meeting that one OF
the conductors of the Barton Heights
line had been discharged for alleged dis
courtesy tor passenger. committee
was appointed to investigate the case and
take the matter up with the officers OF ne
company. 1t was IL O'clock When the
associa ton adjourned.
