MATCH WOULD BE IDEAL.
Rumor Has IL That German Crown
Prince May Wed Princess of
Cumberland.

Again is the gossip revived in Ber-
lin that Emperor Francis Joseph Of
Austria has smoothed away the OBJ
stacles that have stood between the
crown prince of Germany and Princess
Alexandra of Cumberland, and that
the Hanoverian girl has good prospects
Of becoming empress Of Germany
come day. The fact is that whereas
the crown prince is now of marriage
able age, the crop OF princesses suit
ed to him in years, health, religion
and politics is extremely limited. Two
or three English princesses are avail
able and suitable, and rumor has re-
peatedly engaged him to one or the
other of them, and Emperor William
Is understood to be rather in favor OF
such a match. But the emperor re-
members the unpopularity Of his moth
er In Germany, and the rooted objec-
ton of the German public to have an
English empress. So It is that the
name OF Princess Alexandria comes up
again.
II the crown prince Of Germany mar
ries Princess Alexandra Of Cumber-
land II will be a romantic match, for
there has been a bitter feud between
the Hohenzollerns and the Guelphs OF
Hanover for the last 35 years. In the
war Of 1866 the king Of Hanover. the
grandfather of Princess Alexandra,
was led by his warm friendship for
Emperor Francis Joseph to take the
losing side. with the result that when
Prussia had crushed Austria he was
dethroned and his dominions added to
the Prussian crown. There is still
Guelph party in Hanover and every
year on the duke Of Cumberland's

preparation

: z woman recently asserted trat the
fine appearance of her hair was entirely
due to persistent and thorough treat
ment with the familiar kerosene of the
corner grocery commerce. 1t was ap-
piled regularly once a fortnight in the
following way: A little was poured into
a saucer and rubbed with the fingers
into the roots Of the hair. The appli-
cation was slow and thorough, the gen.
tie massage Of the roots with the finger
tips being needed to open the pores for
the absorption of the oil. The treat
ment was usually made at night, and
the hair afterward tied up in silk hand
lperchief.
The silk handkerchief is recon-
retaining the natural electricity of the
hair. BY noon of the following day the
odor of the kerosene had disappeared,
and in another ~ hours the oiliness that
followed its use had also gone The
effect Of this treatment on the hair was
promptly noticeable, the falling out
stopped, and some new short hairs were
found all over the head. AS the kero-
sene application was continued the hair
became thick and smooth. When, after
several months. 1t was finally discon.
tinued, abundant glossy locks replaced
the dry and lusterless hair-the former
condition existing, though no kerosene
had been used for several years.-N. Y.

Another case of small pox was
discovered in Centralia on Sunday

a fifteen year old son of Mrs. John
Welsh who keeps candy store in
that town. \ The case has been un-
der suspicion for some days and was
finally pronounced small pox on
Sunday by DR.. Croft of Lewisburg,
a member of the State Board of
Health. The case is mild and
Campbell is now in the hospital.
1t developed that he had been SELL
ing candy over the counter and DR..
Croft con6scated the stores stock
and destroyed it. He also took oc-
casion to compliment the authorities
on the rigid quarantine established
and expressed his approval of the
work being done.

Probable Murder.
CONTINUED from Ist page. !

Mrs. Krebs states that her daughter
in-law has known Hite for about a
year and that he has severa. times
before threatened to shoot her, but
for what she does not know. The
husband refuses to talk of the
affair.
The movements of Hite after the
shooting are shrouded in mystery.
The elder Mrs. Krebs and the
daughter-in-law state that they do
not know when or how he left the
house after the shooting. Neigh
bors say that soon after the shots
were fired they saw man step
from the rear porch at the Krebs
house and go down the yard disap-
pearing in the darkness. About
eight o'clock Monday morning Hite
was located at Fsirmount Hotel in
this city, with his wife. Hite re-
fuses to talk but story in circula-
ton is to the effect that when
officer Whalen went to the hotel
Tor Hite the woman asked what
was wrong, and when told, stated
why it wasn't him, l did the
shooting myself" The officers
kept Hite undeRsurveillance at the
hotel until eleven o'clock when
Krebs and Squire Fertig came to
Sunbury and arranged to take him
TO Northumberland. Squire Fertig
committed Hite to the county Jail
for hearing this evening at seven
O'Clock.
Mrs. Krebs is aged 80 years and
has been married nine years. but
has no children, Her husband is
aged IS years and is employed on
the Eastern division. He was in
formed Of the shooting by telegraph
last night and arrived in North
cumberland on the same train on
which his wife was brought to the
hospital.
Hite is aged so years and comes
from New York State. Mrs. Krebs
Sr., is SO years old but is a remark
ably preserved woman for her age
and bears up we'll under the strain
of the tragedy.
Mrs. Krebs' condition at noon
to-day was very grave and when
told so by the doctors, said she de-
sired to make statement. Justice
J. P. Carpenter was sent for and in
the presence of witnesses took her
statement of the affair which covers
five sheets of fools cap paper. The
gist of the statement is that Hite
did the shooting and that jealousy
was the motive. 1t has developed
that Hite saw Mrs. Krebs on the
street at Northumberland last Fri.
day night but that she spurned him
and in order to escape him went to
her home on Duke street to which
place he followed her, and upon
being refused admission, broke open
the door and threatened to shoot
her. She escaped to neighbor's
house and later told her husband
that burglars broke in the house.
The woman claiming to be Hites
wife has been here for a week or
more and it seems has been active
in trying to prevent her husband
from seeking Mrs. Krebs. J. F.
Schaffer, Esq, has been retained by
Hite, who, it is said, confessed to
Chief of Police Waltz that he did
shoot the women but that he was
sorry for it,"
