The appointment of Mr.. Charles j.
Bonaparte, of Baltimore, to investigate the
alleged frauds in the Interior Department,
recalls romance of the early part of the
last century. A: that time one of the
leading merchants in Baltimore was Mr..
Patterson, whose daughter Elizabeth was
a brilliant, dashing beauty and a leader
of the very exclusive society of that city.
In 1903 Jerome Bonaparte, who was then
serving as a Lieutenant on French man
of-war, came to the United States on his
return from service in Santo Domingo, and
was made much of in Baltimore, as q
brother of the then foremost man in the
world. Miss Betsy Patterson took il
into her pretty head to capture the young
man, and succeeded in doing so. The mar
riage was the grandest social event of the
country for years. When Napoleon heard

Judge Peter S. Grosscup, of the Federal
Court at Chicago, has had offered to him
the position of counsel for the Northern
Securities Company, with a very flatter-
ing offer of salary, and it is believed that
he will accept the offer. Judge Grosscup's
decisions and utterances from the bench
have of late years attracted much atten-
ton for their strong common sense and
just ruling as to the functions of the Ju-
dietary in regard to trusts and similar
combinations. His recent decision that
the local beef combine was trust in re-
straint of trade, brought him much prom.
inence. His rulings, though sometimes
startling, are generally confirmed by the
higher courts.

TO the senate the protest of the inter

such member has taken an oath where

been opposed to the election of j. Ed
ward Addicks or any of his adherents
to the United States senate.
Congressman Dick of Ohio came to
Dover today in the interest of republi-
can harmony. He established head
