VANDERBILT WINS.
Finally Succeeds in Closing a
Public Highway.

New York, Oct s1.-After a struggle
lasting is months William K. Vanderbilt
has succeeded in gaining permission 10
close the public highway leading to Lake
Success on his beautiful Long Island es-
tate, near Hampstead.
Failing to purchase the lake after ac-
curing his estate in and around that body
of water, Mr.. Vanderbilt asked for the
lease of a strip of ground that forms the
connecting link between an old road and
the waters of the lake. There was moth
ing of record to show that the board of
trustees of North Hampstead ever ac-
quired ownership of the disputed right OF
way to the lake. save by prescription and
use. The idea that Mr.. Vanderbilt would
stock the stream with fish and hold it as
private reserve raised much opposition.
Previous to the election a year ago he
made an offer of $4,000 to the town for the
lake. 1t was determined to settle the
question by ballot. So intense was the
feeling that the vote polled was more
than that a the presidential election and
the offer was rejected. Finally Mr.. Van
derbilt appeared before the trustees and
applied for lease running SO years, in
return for which concessions he proposed
opening a road to the lake by another
route. His opponents still refused to ca
pitulate and the matter was put to a vote
of the board and he won.

property now belongs to Troutman &
Stone, who affirmed their title to it in
the Kansas supreme court. It is now
the effort of the Odd Fellows to recover
5000 spent by them in improvements
upon the property. and the filing of the
lien in Franklin county district court
is the first step taken to protect the
rights of the grand lodge.
Preparations are now being made by
the grand officers of the order to pros
ecute their claims against the estate
and the best attorneys procurable will
be retained for the litigation. The i'm
portance of the suit to the grand lodge
is such ttat no effort will be spared in
prosecuting it's claims. The present
value of the estate is probably not less
than $500, 900 as 1t comprises nearly
1000 acres of land upon which are VAL
liable and substantial improvements.

THE EMPEROR OF ETHIOPIA.

London Daily News.


And who is the Emperor of Ethiopia?
IL an absurdly easy question to answer.
But such Is the Ignorance of things most
necessary TO know in which our people are
sunk that only few aware that
Menelik III OF Abyssinia has borne that
title since 1889 He used to be called the
negus. his full title being negus negasti,
meaning king OF kings. The Abyssinan
monarch used TO be a mere King of Choa.
But now he rules the united Kingdoms OF
Choa, GodJam. Djimma. Kaffa and Wata-
mo. with some other provinces. Conse-
quently he is an emperor.
Ancient blood is expected in an emperor.
the most obscure or the imperial band, Is
of the Oldest stock OF all. At least that is
his claim. Ailu. his father. came of the
old royal family of Ethiopia that traced
it's descent TO Menelik l. son of Solomon
by the Queen OF Sheba. Aiu was eldest
son of a great chief named Sella-Selassie.
under whom the kingdom of Choa attained
to it's highest pitch OF power. Now, Sella-
Selassie's own name had formerly been
Menelik. but he had been warned by a
monk TO change IL. otherwise he would
suffer great misfortune. He should, how
ever. said the monk. call the son of his
child so christened would one day be the
conqueror OF all Ethiopia and the greatest
of her rulers since the days OF Menelik i.
son OF Solomon. AS soon. therefore. as the
grandson was born he was named Menelik.
The really curious thing about this story
Is that IL was certainly told and retailed
by an Italian traveller some years before
Menelik conquered Ethiopia" and consod-
dated his realm.
