Queen Has an :. Auto"

The latest recruit to the ranks Of the
motor enthusiasts is representative
of European royalty The queen regent
of Spain has an automobile. She is
fond of athletics, and a certain por-
ton Of her time each day is given up 10
recreation.
It was not so very long ago that some
one who knew her majesty's love for
sport called her attention to the new
@ehicle. At first she was little inter
ested, but when she was finally induc-
ed to purchase an 'iaute' for herself
she became devoted to it. Now she
uses it continually in place Of her ear
riage and pair, says she Detroit Free
Press.
Recently. however, the queen dis
covered that her favorite conveyance
has its limitations. While riding in the
billy part of France one day her auto
came to grief The motive power gave

Among the many pictures which Fitz-

On the death of the duke the dueh-

hair. Years before, when he had
thwarted her in something. she resolved
10 nortify him. and knowing that her
beautiful and abundant hair was a
source of pride and delight TO him She
had it cut off says the Detroit Free
Press.
The shorn tresses were left in room
through which the duke must pass and
in a place where he must see them, for
whatever Marlboroughs lady did she

neither anger, sorrow nor surprise.
When he next quilted the house she

BANKER cLsws' THREATS.

MOT LONG SINCE The Herald called
N attention to a threat made by
Ranker Henry Clews, the mouth
niece Of Wall streets money
-,ononoIists as to what the
trusts would do in case they were
prevented from forming further comDi-
nations in this country. Threats ran
trIppjngIv from the tongue Oh MT
Ciews.. as is evidenced by a communl-
cation from a valued correspondent OF
the Herald. For years this banker
who has waxed wealthy through READY
subserviency TO the men who control
him has been spouting threats as
volcano soouts molten lava.
Discussing the prospect for the res
toration Of silver in 1895, Mr.. Clews
! wrote mis- remarkable message 10 the
country:

NO AMERICAN PRINCESS.

Whether policy or actual good sense

Miss Roosevelt could not attend tn

Mr.. Reid. However strongly her de
sires and the desires of her fathe

have insisted on receiving her as tn
daughter of the president Necessaril
she would have been accorded all tn
honor due to royalty. with sickenin
