BRUSSELS, Belgium. Sept 22.-The scan
dial arising from the revival of the family
quarrel between King Leopold and his
daughter, the Princess Stephanie Countess
Of Lonyay), beside the bier of the late
Queen Marie Henriette at Spa, yesterday,
Is agitating all classes. Popular sympathy
on all sides Is expressed for the princess,
who. although deeply affected by the Incl
dent, makes no complaint. The princess
herself has given out a simple statement
Of the facts, as follows: THE pre-
else facts are these: was praying at the
bier of the Queen when some one came
about o'clock to tell me the King would
not receive me. L Immediately left the
death-chamber. l had no interview with
his Majesty. / was at Cromer, England,
when learned of the death of the Queen.
Like a loving daughter and patriot, l
hurried to Spa to render the last honors
to my mother. AS the King has caused an
intimation to be conveyed to me that he
does not desire my presence, am going
to Calais. where my husband will meet me.
Thence 1 shall probably return to England.
There was no scene between the King and
myself at Spa
1t was hoped by the public. who applaud
ed Princess Stephanie's match with the
Count Lonyay, that the death of the Queen
would lead to healing the rupture, but the
incident at Spa is taken to demonstrate
that the King is as irreconciable as ever
to what he openly designated as mesal-
lance, even after the approval Of the Aus
TRAN emperor. Francis Joseph. The prin-
cess will not be present at her mothers
funeral. During the whole railroad journey
from Spa to this city the princess was
shaken with sobs, and arrived here greatly
Frustrated. This morning she attended q
special requiem mass, ordered by herself
On leaving the church she was sympathet-
ically greeted by the assembled crowd.
Princess Stephanie started for Calais this
afternoon. She was accorded most en-
thusiastic greeting by large crowds of peo
pie at the railway station, while cries OF
'Vive la COmtesse" were raised, to which
she replied, II thank you with all my
heart" Then, apparently quite overcome
by the popular demonstration, the princess
burst into tears.

principle by suing the Indiana Railway
Company owner of the interurban railway
line between Elkhart and South Bend,
for 81.
He recently purchased four round-trip
tickets TO South Bend, paying 40 cents for
each. When he and his party desired to
return and went to the station they were
informed that owing to a breakdown 1t
was uncertain when the cars would resume
operations, and the party then came home
over the Lake Shore. He later applied Tor
reimbursement, and the company offered
Is cents on each ticket, retaining 20 cents
for the outgoing trip. He insisted that
as he had performed his part of the con-
tract by appearing at the South Bend sta
ton at the specified time the company
should reimburse him to the extent OF one
half the purchase price, or 20 cents on eacn.
The real difference between the contest
ing parties is 20 cents. but DR.. Turner
thinks he has a principle to uphold The
hearing has been set for Friday morning.

a young colored woman who had entered

entered at one OF the public schools. and at
once all the other children left and the
teacher was confronted with empty
benches. Truant officers were sent after
the children. but their parents said they
should not attend school with the dark
faced girl. whom they suspected OF being a
negro. The Board OF Education took the
matter up. and after an investigation dis
covered that the girl has no negro blood.
She Is simply a brunette. and her parents
are French. IL will be well hereafter for

complexion powders. IL Is really painful
