parents and prepare for the adoption OF
the gypsy primate dignity, which Is u
pass to him upon his fathers death
The gypsies demanded thousand kron-
ers before investing him with the lordly
title. but Rego refused taking a high ethi-
cal ground. Then the gypsies got mad.
When he left the church they crowded
around him and called him names, threat
ening dire things. Rigo, backing up 10
the church wall. defended himself as well
as he could. but by the time the police
arrived his arms and legs were sore from
kicks and cuffs while his mustache and
hair hung about his face and head in dis
order.
Rigo. too, has put on flesh, and little
about him recalls the quondam, wild-eyed
gypsy beau that made Clara Ward think
of her princely coronet as Of so much
trash. He said to your correspondent:
My wife, the Princess. is suffering from
asthma and we are about to go to the
Canary Islands for her health. Later on
we will visit Madeira and then stop a

we shall make a trip to India, Her High

The couple live on the woman's income
of $1,000 per year.

London. May 9-Sometimes in their

MURDER SECRET

Story of Tragic End of Camille

WAS MYSTERY FOR YEARS

London. May 9.-"Murder, though 1t
have no tongue. will speak with most
miraculous organ"
What IS called the mystery Of the Moat
House has been solved at last. For some
SIX weeks past it has been discussed by
everybody, and this week it has been the
main topic Of talk everywhere. 1t is an
extraordinary story just now.
More than four years ago man named
Dougal along with Camille Holland, a
middle aged genuewoman, bought an old
farm surrounded by a wide, deep moat'
fn a remote part of the country, far
sway from any other habitation. Shortly
after the purchase the lady disappeared
most unaccountably, but the wonder died
down very soon. The lady was forgotten.
Nobody. not even her bankers. were sus-
picious Of anything wrong. Checks reach
ing the bank in Miss Hollands name
were duly honored.
For nearly four years this went on, and
It is questionable if the mystery would
ever have been revealed had it not been
that Dougal, made bold probably, by sue
cess. carried the forgeries OF Miss Hol-
lands name too far. Then the question
arose. Where was the lady?
The mystery was, in the first place, how
the relatives during all that time never
had their suspicious aroused. and second.
how a lady of her years and of such a
gentle nature. religious views and beneYo-
lent character could have consented to
ally herself with Dougal without any
marriage.
Then foul play being suspected, the
work Of draining and digging in the moat
began. II was a hard. unpleasant and
dirty task. but the police kept at it. On
Wednesday the country was excited by a
report that the body Of a woman had been
discovered in a ditch near the moat The
features were unacceptable. but the
clothes. boots and other unmistakable
signs proved it the body of the unhappy

GERMANS ON THEIR EAR.
Want to Know Who United States Is
Making Goo-Goo Eyes at.

Berlin. May 9.-Count Bernstorf. a re-
tired navy captain. has attracted much
attention with a newspaper article re-
ferring to the projected demonstration by
an American fleet in European waters.
and asking:
Against what European nation is this
demonstration directed"
The Count argues that England's over
whelming strength leaves her out OF the
question. Italy and France are out Of the
question because they possess no interests
conflicting with those of America. Re-
specting Germany the Count writes:
I'VE need not fear any operations OF
the American fleet. Thank heaven, no.
However, we dream not of retaliating by
sending our ships across the ocean to
also nave their little demonstration We
look on quietly and await developments.
According to our own experts, the Ameri-
can ships are hardly fit for the task

AMERICAN ONLY SPREADS.
Sculptor Refuses to Make Eagles for
Emperor,

Berlin, May 9.-Let it be remembered
that August Gaul is the name of a sculp-
tor who refused an order from his En-
peror, because of a conflict Of opinion
on an art point. The order was for
five eagles to be used for denoting the
fine square to be formed in front Of the
Brandenburg gate, where the memorial
of the Emperor and Empress will he
placed.
When the models were submitted for
Williams approval, the Emperor said Re
preferred the wings spread out, not clos
ed, as Professor Gaul had made them.
The sculptor declared that the only natur-
al way of representing eagles was with
the wings closed. As the Kaiser would
not yield the point, the sculptor respectt
fully declined the commission.
The witty comment is made that the
Kaiser was perfectly right, as II is only

SUPERSTITION OF VILLAGERS.
People Wouldn't Let Corpse Be Taken
Thrcuqh the Town,

Budapest. May 1.-TWO men, six women
and three children were killed and a score
or more wounded at the entrance to the
village of Ibaros. which the populace de-
Tended against a troop Of gendarmes at
tempting to escort a corpse through their
village.
The body belonged to peasant hailing
from a distant hamlet, who had died in
town. and the only road to bring it home
lead through Ibaros. However, the people
there refused TO let it pass on account of
a superstition that a strange corpse would
bring untold misery upon their heads.
Three times the authorities endeavored
to carry their point. AS a last resort a
volley was fired into the fanatic mob,
which defended the village entrance with
stones and pitChforks.

PRINCESS SEEKS DIVORCE.
Infanta EulaIIa is Trying to Convince

Rome, May 9-The Infanta Eulalia, who
was so deeply disappointed with the re-

month, is said to be industriously at work
obtaining high influence to convince Leo
that she really deserves to be released
from the bonds of matrimony.
The Infantia was married in 1856 to
Antoine Prince d'Orleans, Duca di Gal
liera. The match was unhappy from
the beginning. But when the Princess
made her first appeal to the Pope. all his
Holiness could do was to give his bene-
diction and assure her of his regret that
his temporal power did not extend 50
far as to relieve Her Royal Highness
of her woes"
