to the recent surgical operation on the

Emperor William will die within three

This is shown by the presence Of the

his nature has been making strenuous eff
forts to throw off the besetting disease
and has not been strong enough to do it.
Almost every member of the Hohenzol-

general conditions.
It is constitutional weakness which
manifests itself in various ways locally.
It is significant fact that the present
emperor has arrived at just the age when
his father began to show signs Of the
disease.

Palmyra, Mo-, May 5.-The record
filed in the county clerks office here
| Of the transfer of 1900 acres of Mis-
sissippi bottom land located about six
miles east Of this city to H. c. Huis-
camp of st. Louis for a considera ton
of $115,367 recalls the story of the sud-
den rise and precipitous fall Of Marion
City, with which the names of two Of
the most famous characters of modern
fiction are associated. These charac-
tiers are Martin Chuzzlewit and Colo
mel Mulberry Sellers, the former Gre
ated by Charles Dickens and the latter
by Mark Twain.
Marion City was founded by Colonel
William Muldrow in 1910, being loc,.t-
ed on the Mississippi river about mid
way between Hannibal. Mo-, and Quin-
cy, Ill Although widely doomed, after
the manner of many boom cities Of
that period, as the coming metropolis
of the Mississippi valley, it never got
beyond the. paper stage and collapsed
just prior to the visit Of the great Eng
lish novelist to the United States in
1912.
1t will be recalled that Dickens found
on that occasion many things about
this country which offended his Eng
fish sense of proprety. Among them
was Marion City. When he returned to
his native land he proceeded to lam
pooh us in most caustic manner, and
as one Of the vehicles in which to turn
loose his satire he wrote Martin Chuz-
zlewit."
AS Dickens tells the story, Martin
Chuzzlewit visited the United States
and came as far west as Missouri.
where he invested his money and that

boom town of Eden. This imaginary
Eden was in reality Marion City. On
their way west Martin and Mark fell

town. He showed them a beautiful
map Of the wonderful young town,
with its market place, public buildings
and busy streets, and they invested, |

was not an architect in the city. A

purpose of illustrating peculiar phase
of American life that did not please
his fancy.

wrote his description of the place Mark
Twain, collaborating with Charles Dad
ley Warner, wrote 1.-THE Gilded Age
in which is told the story of Colonel
Mulberry Sellers, who In real life was
Colonel William Muldrow. Having
lived within a few miles of the depart
ed Marion City and being familiar with
its history and that of Colonel Null
drow, it was not strange that Clemens
should have selected it as one of the
striking events of a golden age.' Here
1t was that Colonel Mulberry Sellers.
Mark Twafn's creation of the most ex-
aggerated type Of the visionary man,
proposed to build great metropolis of
the west which under the name of Ma
poleon was to conquer the commercial
world.
In its essential features the story of
Colonel Mulberry Sellers Napoleon was
not materially different from that of
the Eden in which Martin Chuzzlewit
invested, and both are fairly represent
alive of the experiences in actual life
OF Colonel Muldrow and his boom town
OF Marion City, the memory Of which
IS now revived after a period of sixty
years by the transfer Of the plot Of
wild land upon which it was proposed
to build it. HENRY w. MILLER.

The waist is made over a lining OF

folds Of white satin. The upper por.
ton is in yoke shape. with the drap-

in bias folds around the arms.
The veil may be Of tulle or of en-
broidered net. The worst about the old
heirloom wells is that they are gener-
ally too short and too heavy to look
really well over the dress. which needs
the filmy Eghtness of tulle to give it
just that evanescent and nebulous ap-

All tea gowns have the neck left open

are put on the shoulders. Sleeves to
tea gowns should be loose and large.
One favorite style is to have full chit

class called flowing.
The coffee coats are in reality blouses
