Chicago Girl Declared First Love Of
German Heir.
Royal Youth Met Miss Wakefield al
Ball at Court and Immediately
Succumbed to The Girls
GraCea.

In a recent article on the crown
prince Of Germany, Count Wolfe Won
Schierbrand relates how the young
prince has fallen a victim to the
charms of American girls. The count
records that at the Berlin court it is
said the princes first love was for a
Chicago girl. Here is his statement:
"'This is Miss Wakefield, your i'm
perial highness.' said Mrs. White, the
wife Of the then American ambassador
in Berlin, DR.. Andrew D. White, as
she bent her stately head. The crown
princes youthful features lighted up
in delighted smile, and his blue eyes
dwelt lingeringly on the graceful. girl
ish figure before him.
"The little incident occurred in jan
uary, 1899. Miss Mamie Wakefield,
then just about sweet II, the young
fellows own age, was the daughter of
a well-to-do Chicago merchant and a
distant relative Of the late ex-United
States Senator Farwell. Of Illinois.
This young lady, on the strength of
special letters of introduction, had
prevailed upon Mrs. White to present
her at court, the fitting occasion being

FARM is SLIDING AWAY.
Ohio Woman Has Many Grievances
Against Railroad Company
and Brings Suit.

Because railroad excavated a guam
tity of earth from the land adjoining
her farm in Bedford, o., Johanna M.
Klauer has brought suit for $4,000
damages.
The plaintiffs list of grievances
against the railroad company was a
lengthy one. The excavating was done
to secure earth with which to make a
fill across Tinker creek.
According to the petition, the rail-
roads land adjoined hers, and they
dug vast hole, so feet deep and 100
or so wide, just back of her farm. To
do this quantity of dynamite was
used, and the plaintiff says that rocks,
sand and earth used to rain down upon
her house and. buildings, damaging
them and tearing off sections of root
and siding.
Secondly, the petition says, the blast
ing loosened her farm, and it COM
menced to slide down in sections into
the yawning depths which opened next
to it. The third item on the list con-
