many he had earnestly voiced his
love. In a few weeks the world was
ringing with the announcement that
the crown prince of Germany, the
immediate successor to the imperial
throne, was to marry a commoner,
and an American at that. What En-
peror William said when this was
brought to his ears is not known.
Soon, however, there went forth the
royal decree that it was all a mistake
and the engagem ent was myth.
The extent TO which the passion
for a crowned head rules among
women is shown by the instance of
the wealthy American woman who
recently startled Europe by the asser-
ton that she had come there to mar
ry king. This woman does not par
ticuar1y care whether the sovereign
may love her, whether his kingdom is
rich or bankrupt. She is Wiling and
anxious to buy king, and is in the
market for any man with a crown and
kingly title who may be had for
So 100000.
Little is known OF her except that
she is rich and an American. At
last reports she had gone to South
ern Europe with the intention of lay
ing siege to the heart of the ruler Of
some magnificent Kingdom. With the

american spirit of enterprise to help |

How It Feels to Be Rich.

how it feels to be millionaire: q

SOUTHERN STATES.
Complete Returns show n Record
Close Run In Maryland.

NEW YORK, Nov. II. - Complete
returns show that in several of the
southern states Democratic pluralities
were conspicuously smaller than in
1900.
Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas
and all the states south and east of
them slept snugly in the Democratic
fold. Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi
and North Carolina have given Parker
wen a few more votes than they gave
Bryan in 1900. The plurality in Louisi
ana remained unchanged, but this in
every other southern state fell off no.
ticeably, Georgia however gave more
votes TO Roosevelt than TO Watson. In
Texas the Democratic plurality dimin-
ished by nearly $4,000 votes, in Geor-
gia by 5000 in Virginia. Tennessee and
South Carolina by 5000
The only state called doubtful be-
fore the election which was at all close
was Maryland, but the decision in
Maryland was close enough to whiten
the hair of a campaign manager. With
probably more than 100000 votes cast,
revised estimates place the Republic
an plurality at 30, the smallest presi-
dental plurality ever recorded in a
state, even beating Kentucky in 1896
when Mckinley got 2Sl out of 1896
votes cast. The Democrats have gain
ed one congressional district, and the
state will be represented in congress
by three Democrats and three Repub-
leans. The Republicans lose some
presidential electors.
OF the other doubtful states Della
ware went Republican on both state
and national tickets by $500, a heavy
plurality for the little commonwealth
and nearly 1000 more than it gave
Bryan either in 1896 or 1900. Preston

uniting.

tives were absent Woodford, SIAM
