MAY GET a DUKE.
Mrs. Frank Avery of Chicago Said t,
Be Enuaued to One.

London, Nov. 14.-The World, usually
a reliable society weekly, today says:
Il hear that another fair American.
we'll known in society in London. is to
become an English duchess, but that
mally announced"
There are in the English peerage only
two wearers of the strawberry leayed
coronets who are not already benedicts
or widowers of more than mature age.
One is a young man who has been lit
tle-heard-of in London-society, while
h other is almost as we'll known in
h United States as in this country.
The lady who it is generally expected
in London will before long be added t.
the list of American duchesses is a
widow, pretty, and halls from Illinois.
She has a house in Grosvenor square
during the season, when she gave sew
eral big entertainments, and she is. or
was until quite recently, in the United
States.
May Be Mrs. Frank Avery.
Chicago, Nov. 14.-Mrs. Frank A.
Avery of Chicago is "a widow and
pretty" a fact generally conceded.
She had a house in Grosvenor square,
London. during the season.. when she
save several big entertainments, one
notably lavish. which was commentea
on widely in English and American
newspapers.
She was until quite recently in the
United States.
She Is the only woman mailing from
llinois' who fits all the points speci-
fled in the announcement by the Lon
don society journals.
The English peer who is the other
principal in the announcement must be
either the duke Of Adams or the duke
OF Norfolk, they being the only two
peers who are neither benedicts nor
widowers.
Only Two Dukes Left.
The duke of Norfolk is one OF the
most conspicuous Roman Catholics in
England, and as Mrs. Avery is not a
Roman Catholic his name reasonably
may be eliminated.
The duke OF st. Adams is 33 years
old and his family Is one of the old
est in the British nobility. He owns an
estate Of 5000 acres.
Mrs. Avery spent part of the autumn
in Chicago and left the last city with
her mother and Mrs. Charles L. Strobe!
for New York. She will sail for Eng
land In a fortnight.
She was left a widow with a large
fortune in 1901. Upon her husbands
death she took control of his estate,
including he American Brass company.
She managed the mining and other
properties with great ability until they
rere merged with other companies.

FOUND TWO SKELETONS.
Workmen Unearth a crewsome Sight
While GRADING Down a Lot.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Nov. 11.-Workmen
while grazing down a lot situated on a
hill in the northern portion OF Sioux Fails
unearthed two skeletons, which there is
every reason to believe are those OF an
Indian man and woman The skull OF
the MAJ is perfect. II contains 9. full set
of teeth, which are so well preserved that
the enamel Is not even worn of. Around
the neck of the man was a string of orna-
ments, composed Of the claws OF eagles,
bears. wolves and other wild animals.
These are also we'll preserved.
The ground surrounding the SPOT where
the skeletons were found indicates that
a square hole was dug and the man and
woman buried in a sitting or crouch.ng
posture. In the lap OF the man was some
decayed material which looked as II 1t
might once have been paper. Two long
arrows lay across 1t. On top OF these and
between the skull and the knees was 4
large piece OF flint rock.
The skeletons We're found only about
four feet beneath the surafce of the
ground. The largest skeleton. which is
thought to be that of the man, was, as
stated, in a far state of preservation.
The other cru,nbled when exposed to the
air.
AS they were discovered at a point
where the virgin soil of the prairie vas
only removed last spring, 1t is believed
they had been buried for many years,
doubtless before the advent OF the white
man in this region.

Rockefeller. Gould and Friek Syndieat
Said to Have Turned the Trick.

S4sa - e'S
New York. Nov. 1.-THE acquisition
of a controlling interest in the United
States Steel corporation by John d.
Rockefeller und George j. Could will
explain. in the opinion of local bank
ers. the present decline in steel shares
n the eccentric conduct of Pennsyl-
want railway stocks.
1t is shown that the actual stock
value of the billion dollar corporation
is now $3.50. GOO. 00o. and it would only
require. at today's quotations. $12l, 000,-
600 in stock to control. This could be
held, with $780, 600, eco in margins. These
figures are quite within the Rockefel-
ler-Gould resources. Between Septem-
Der 8 n November 10 enough share
have changed hands to give control to
the new interests. In addition to these
Well known facts 1t is asserted that
the bulk of the shares recently trans
ferred has gone TO the Rockefeller
Frick-Gould account.
Why Pennsylvania is Down.
Pennsylvania shares reached the low
est point of the year, going at 1147s.
This decline is explained by bankers.
who say that all the business now done

will be transferred to the Wabash, the
Gould road, which reaches all the
points served by the Pennsylvania.
Investors are not buying steel shares.
and the average trader is afraid of
them under existing conditions. The
days business in Wall street amounted
to $4,000 shares of COMMON and ia. 600
shares of the preferred. Most of the
preferred was brought out by the un-
covering of stop loss orders at so, clear
~ showing hat investors are not seek
ing them.
The logic of the situation. therefore,
is mat none but a powerful syndicate
with a we'll defined purpose can afford
to invest on a falling market.
The reasons moving Rockefeller to
acquire control of the steel trust fit in
perfectly with his widespread inter-
ests in railways and the carrying facfl-
tiles on the great lakes.
Takes Firmer Grip on Central.
The Rockefellers took an additional
grip on the railway interests in an
other direction when James Stillman,
president Of the National City bank,
4 conspicuous representative of Rookie
Teller interests. was elected a director
md a member of the legislative COM
nittee of the New York Central rail-
road.
The place on the board of directors
was made for him by the voluntary
resignation of E. V. w. Rossiter, who.
besides being the first vice president i'm
charge of the New York CentraIs
financial department., has for many
years been the confidential represent
alive of w. K. Vanderbilt.
Mr.. Stillman's entry into the New
