in regard 10 Kentucky affairs. especially
those of Breathitt county. He says in
part:
"A great many letters have come 70
me in the last few weeks some from

the accused by courts-martiaI. to r..

Miss Bull replied. And. anyhow, you
know, If Prince zee married an Ameri-
can girl he would probably have to give
up any idea of being a king"
Despite Miss Bulls definition Of the
status Of their relations, apparently
weIl-founded rumor has it that the Ko-
rean prince has long since passed The
stage of "just friendship"
Twice in as many weeks he has Wis
tied the Queen City. and the young
woman who has drawn him hither has
in her possession many letters. breath
ing ardent Eastern feelings. and not at
all the sort of letters evolved by pla-
tonic sentiments Furthermore, there
are stories of a ring and other gifts
that lack authoritative denial. and the
belief that the charming little Cincin-
natl girl and the infatuated young prince
will before long be the principals in an
international alliance gains ground
steadily.
Prince. zee met Miss Bull not long
after he came TO this country. They
first saw each other at Delaware, Ohio
where the Korean is acquiring an
American education. So far as the
prince is concerned, it seems to have
been case of love at first sight This
vas six months ago. Since then letters
have been frequent. and recently he finds
the temptation to visit Cincinnati toe

ROCKEFELLER CLOSES A HOTEL.
CLEVELAND, July S1.-The impera-

closes the Weddell House at midnight
tonight. This hotel is the leading
hosiery of the city and until the last
few years ranked among the first.
Last fall it was sold at public auction
on foreclosure proceedings and was
bid in by J. G. W. Cowles, Rockefel-
ler's agent. The lease of the pres ut
proprietors expires tonight and Rookie
Teller is determined that the hotel shall
be closed on account of the bar which
is run in connection with the house.
Since he acquired the property la =
fall he placed it in the name of the
Cleveland Trust Company until the
lease had expired. He has made plans
to erect on the hotel site a large office
building of ten stories. In the pres
ent building there are a number CT
stores, ana the leases for all of these
will not expire until the first of the
year. Swan, the present proprietor,
was in hopes that he might be able TO
extend his lease until that time, but
word was received today from the
Standard Oil magnate positively re-
fusing to allow the hotel to continue
with a bar attached. Swan pleaded
for another week, but this also was
refused.
