GREYHOUND WORTH $4,000
Princess Maud, Who Has Run Mile
in Less Than Two Minutes, Is
Fastest in the World.

A $10,0O0 dog. Such is Princess Maud,
the fieetest dog in the world, owned by
Capt Jay Thomas Vickery, who has a
ranch in Oklahoma, where he keeps
string of dogs we'll able to run a mile
inside of two minutes. Princess Maud
bears the proud distinction of having
run mile in one minute and forty-nine
seconds, which is the worlds record.
Capt. Vickery is greyhound fancier
and expert. He owns the finest grey
hounds in this country. On large ranch
In Oklahoma he trains his runners in
contests with the swiftest jack rab-
bit of the plains.
Princess Maud is modest canine,
sticking close to the heels of her mas
ter as he walks through the streets.
Except for the fact that she is trim
and sleek looking she does not give the
slightest idea of her value, which Is
placed by Capt vickery at $4,000. She
is Of dark fawn color, with thin body
and attenuated legs, and when stand
ing assumes the slightly tilted forward
| position indicative Of the runner.
| Capt. Vickery Is now in Washington,
and as he walks from place to place
with Princess Maud in his wake the dog
| attracts a great deal of attention. She
has captivated the hearts Of all dos
lovers, and many of her admirers have
expressed desire that they might SCI
her run.

ONLY THREE PROPOSED.
warreusburg, N. z, Maidens Are
Slow In Taking Advantage
Of the Leap Year.

Statistics at the town clerks once
Of Warrensburg, N. Y, go to show that
the Warrensburg girls up to the present
time have not been taking advantage OF
the leap year with that avidity which
was expected of them. Since the year
began there have been only three mar
riages in town following direct pro-
posals made by the brides. In each case
the young women popped the question
and led their blushing bridegrooms to
the altar within 80 days, so the War
rensburg News has been creditably in
formed by one Of the grooms who seemed
to be posted and made clean breast OF
the whole affair.
That there have not been, therefore,
more weddings in Warrensburg directly
due to leap year may be from the fact
that the girls had been waiting for Hall
lowe'en to help them cinch things Now
that this has passed there are uncon-
firmed rumors that there will soon b
something doing"

is A WEAK FlohTiNG FORCE
An American Naval Expert So Con-
siders the Russian Baltic
Fleet.

New York.-The naval expert of the
Scientific American does not deem the
Russian Baltic fleet of great impor-
lance as fighting unit OF it he says:
LAS regards the material of which
the fleet is composed, although it in
cludes four battleships which we con-
slider to be, in some respects, the best
in the world, the fleet as a whole is
composed of so many different types,
that it is totally lacking in that homo
geneity which tacticians of the mod
ern school consider to be of prime i'm
portance to the effectiveness of fleet.
The most important element is, OF
course, the four recently completed
battleships of the "Borodino" class,
ships that are very similar to the
Czarevitch, now sheltering, badly
crippled, under the protecting wing OF
neutral port. They embody, how
ever, certain improvements over that
ship. The vessels are the Borodino,
Orel, Imperator Alexander Ill, and
Suvaroff. They carry four 12-inch and
u six-inch guns, besides a numerous
Uc%CeCly VI olAdllSl plOSSo'
The belt of Krupp steel varies from
nine inches amidships to four and
one-half inches at the ends. The
heavy guns are protected by IL and 10
inches of armor, and the six turrets
that contain the IL six-inch guns in
pairs, carry six inches of armor.
Theoretically, these ships are I'M
sinkable by gun fire at ordinary battle
ranges. In addition to the protective
deck at the water line, which is four
inches thick, they have an upper pro-
tective deck, two inches in thickness
and the space between them is entirely
filled with coal Moreover, two verti
cal bulkheads of four-inch armor ex
tend throughout the ship at abou
eight or ten feet from the side.
Compared with the latest battleshiI
designs of other nations, the secondary
battery of six-inch guns is too ngh1

QUEER MlxUP IN MARRIAGE
Englishman WEEDS Married Woman,
Leaves Her, Takes Daughter for
Wife and Is Sued.

An amazing story of the matrimonial
adventures of military telegraphist
named George knight was told to the
Aldershot county, England, court judge
recently.
Twenty-Five years ago Mrs. A. g. Fitz-
gerald returned to England from India
with her two children, and, believing
herself to be a widow, shortly afterward
married knight.
For years they lived together, the only
trouble of their married life being the
mysterious disappearance of the wom-
ans daughter by her first marriage.
A year or two ago knight, 1t was
stated, discovered by means of an adj
vertisement that the woman's first hus-
band was alive when he married her. BY
the same means he also discovered the
whereabouts Of the missing daughter.
The daughter was reunited to the fam
induced Mrs. Fitzgerald to sign sepa-
ration agreement by which he was to
make her a weekly allowance.
Then he left her, taking with him the
daughter Mrs. Fitzgerald recently dis
covered that knight had been married
to the daughter, and that they had one
child.
She thereupon brought an action
against him for the recovery of s10 due
under the deed Of separation.
In the agreement Mrs Fitzgerald said
there was clause that If she interrered
with Knight the allowance would cease.
but all she had done was to go to her
daughter and induce her to come back
The Judge characterized knights ac-
ton as the most disgraceful thing man
could do, and told him that that court at
least would do nothing to prevent Mrs.
Fitzgerald from molesting him. He gave
Judgment for Mrs. Fitzgerald for the
full amount, with costs.
