CROWN PRINCE AND MISS
DEACON.

The Paris Matin, continuing to pub
fish details of the love affair between the
Crown Prince of Germany and Miss
Gladys Deacon, saws that the Duchess
Of Marlborough is in entire sympathy
with Miss Deacon in her dreams of be-
coming an Empress. The duchess, the
paper says, argued that she married
luke, and why, then, should not her
portege marry prince of the empire?
The Matin says that the Duke of MARI
borough was at first ironical, but after
ward fell in with the dreams of Miss
Deacon and the duchess, but Emperor
William, viewing the affair in differ
cnt light, sent messenger to Miss
Deacon, demanding the return of the
ring given to her by the Crown Prince,
and saying that the ring was not the
property Of the Crown Prince, but was
a gift of the Empress Frederick to the
German nation. Miss Deacon, backed
by the Duchess Of Marlborough, indig-
nantly refused to part with the precious
love token. Messenger succeeded mes
senger, each of higher rank and each
more diplomatic and caressing in his
manner than the preceding one, until at
last Miss Deacon, in fit of anger and
wounded love, threw the ring in the /
face of the Emperor's representative. /
Meantime the Crown Prince was closely /
to his rooms, and his uncle,
Prince Henry of Prussia, was sent to
Emperor William at the coro-
nation of King Edward

A FEW DAYS ago it was stated that
Secretary Moody intended, if possible,
to prevent any combination of ship
builders for the work authorized last
session of Congress, and for which bids
will shortly be invited. Now it is pub
lished that the existence of cOmbina-
ton formed by leading contractors on
work involving many millions of dollars
under the Navy Department has been
discovered. This, it is said, may lead
t, call for bids separately and upon
single projects in order that the depart
ment may protect itself against an I'M
Outstanding among firms whereby some
were to bid on certain work and refrain
from submitting proposals on other
classes, but as all the big shipyards
have now formed a trust, the govern
ment will be at their mercy. 1t has
been the conviction of naval officers
that in the bidding for the large number
of warships contracted for in recent years
a combination has been formed by the
leading shipbuilding concerns, in which
it was agreed that the work should be
distributed among themselves under the
terms Oft common agreement. These
combinations have in the past resulted
in the government having to pay heavily
for its work, both at home and in the
insular possessions, and this state of az
fairs is now likely to continue in
definitely.

Millville, N. j., Aug. 1S.-The
body of a beautiful young woman was
found floating in Union Lake late last
evening. She evidently came to this

not be canOnized.
The process for the Qualification" Of
the legendary French heroine has been
dragging along since 1874 in Rome.
One of the arguments given against
making Joan of Are a saint in the
Roman calendar is that on May "a, 1881,
she signed an abjuration of all her past
errors.
Cardinal Parocchi, who had the
canonization business in hand, declared
that if she really signed this acknowledge
ment of her past errors, then either she
had been vulgar sorcerer, or else had
signed out of fear, and so had shown Il
lack of heroism.

WOMAN SWINDLER.

The most prominent jewelry firms in
Savannah Ga, were yesterday afternoon
yic;imized by strange woman, and
now the police are in search of her, APP
parently with little chance of making
an arrest. The woman, who is Il
stranger in Savannah, called upon
rhcus Bros, jewellers, and presented Il
note bearing the name of Mrs. Henry
Elum. The jewellers were requested to
send by the bearer of the note, named
as Mr.. Blums niece, several choice
pieces of jewelry, from which hand
some present was to be selected. Thcus
Bros. complied with the request, aud
when the young woman went out she
c3ried 81, 300 worth Of jewelry with
her. Mrs. Blum is the wife of the
president of the Germania Bank.
When the woman did not return an in
yestigation showed that Mrs. Blum had
not written the note. Shortly after the
experience of Theus Bros. the woman
appeared at the store of A. l.. Des-
boulieon with a note signed with the
name of Mrs. j. p. Williams, wife of
the president Of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange, and a very wealthy man. 1t
was similar in tenor to the first note and
worked just as well. 1t was not until
late yesterday afternoon that the
jewellers awoke to the fact that they had
been victimized, and then the police
were called in. 1t is reported that an
other firm was also victimized. The
whole town is looking for brunette at
