RICHEST GIRL IN THE WORLD.
Fraulein Bertha, Daughter of Krupp
the Essen Iron King.

Fraulein Bertha, Daughter of Krupp,
the Essen Iron King.
The engagement of the worlds great
est heiress, Fraulein Bertha Krupp,
to DR.. Hack, medical practitioner of
Rheydt, Rhineland, is just announced
only to be contradicted.
This lucky young lady, the eldest
daughter of the late Frederick Krupp,
besides a fortune estimated at &55,
600, 900, succeeded to the bulk of her
fathers vast possessions-enormous
steel works, rich mines of coal and
iron, gigantic ship-building yards,
miles and miles of sweeping country
and fourishing line of shipping. The
kingdom over which Miss Krupp
reigns is one of great magnitude, more
than 100000 workmen call her mis-
tress, while some idea of the extent OF
the Essen works may be had when it
is stated that more water is used in
them than supplies the whole city OF
Dresden, and more gas is consumed
than in the great town of Munich.
The heiress of all this wealth-a
handsome, fair-haired girl of modest
and retiring manners-is only IS years
old. She takes a serious view of life,
and devotes most of her time and
energy to the welfare of her many
employees.

HE KNEW THE LAW.

A civil war veteran, several tines representative from his own distr ct to the New Hampshire legislature, and at one time speaker of the house, had just returned from a closing ses- sion of the legislature, at Wh ch, says a writer in the Manchester Union the law pertaining to the right of way to pedestrians had been passed.
 He was crossing the street from his office one day soon after his return, when an electric car came bounding along. The motorman, alive to the danger of the veteran, made frantic efforts to attract his attention, and when they failed, shouted:
 Look out, major. If you don't get off the track shall run over you.
 The major stopped stock still in the middle of the track.
 ''If you do, young man, you'll hang for il" he said firmly.
