RIVAL OF MODERN BLuEBgARD.

Frank Busch Looks the Part Of Noto-
rious Hoch.
Chicago.-Johann Hoch has a double
in Frank Busch. Saturday at a police
station where Hoch once received wo-
men whom he married, Busch, who al
SO is a prisoner, looked the part of
Hoch in every respect and talked with
the German accent, as does Hoch. In
fact Busch looks so much like the man
who has confessed to marrying II wo-
men that the victims whom Busch, it
is alleged, had robbed and who had
identified Hoch as the swindler, admit
ted they had made mistake in iden-
tifying Hoch and picked out Busch as
the right man.
Busch, like Hoch, was not moved by
the Identification. He would smile, like
Hoch, and at times utter witty express
sions Busch, it is alleged, preyed on
women, but did not bar the men.

grand duke was we'll known here, ow-

Grand Duke Sergius visited Paris
each year with Grand Duchess Eliza

The grand duke attracted marked at

with heavy blond beard.
Grand Duke Sergius, it is pointed

of any reform, which he declared was
organized warfare against autocracy
handed down to the emperors.

COW.
The decision of the emperor in this
period of his grief to restore Grand
Duke Paul, youngest brother of Grand
Duke Sergius, to rank and family, is
felt to be most gracious act. Grand
Duke Paul was degraded several years
ago because he persisted in contract
ing morganatic marriage with Mad
anne dig Pistolkoos, despite the COM
mands of the emperor and the wishes
of the imperial family He was de-
prived Of rank in the army and his
orders and decorations were with
drawn. The doors of Russia were
closed to him, and Grand Duke and
Grand Duchess Sergius extended the
shelter of their home to his two chill
dren by his first marriage and vir-
tually adopted them. OF late the de-
cree against Grand Duke Paul has
been relaxed to the extent that he was
allowed to return to Russia, and the
act now permits him to take
his rightful place with the other inn
perial mourners.

City - Serious Explosions = Small
Blaze Later.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 20.-For
four hours Sunday night the wholesale
district bounded by Georgia and Merid-
ian streets, jackson place and the
Union depot sheds, were menaced by
a fire which started in the Wholesale
warerooms of the Fahnley & McCrea
Millinery company. At $50 O'Clock

which were three hotels, had been com
pletely destroyed, causing a loss esti-
mated at $1,500,O0O. One fireman was
hurt by falling walls.

apparatus and a general confagration
was prevented
Explosions Add to Terror.
In the A. Kiefer Drug company's
warerooms, where many barrels of oil
and other explosives were stored, and
in the Delmetsch company's wholesale
warehouse a seasons stock of fire
works were located several serious
explosions occurred. Hundreds of
spectators narrowly escaped death OF
serious injury.
Got a Disastrous Start.
The fire, which was one of the most
spectacular in the history of the city,
was under full Roadway before an
alarm was sounded.
The occupants of the hotel. many
of whom had not retired, escaped with
out injury.
Embers Fall in All Sections.
Repeated explosions in the burning
section sent skyward veritable storm
of burning embers which, famed by a
stiff breeze from the southwest. were
carried into the retail district where
they fell, still burning, upon the roofs
Of the principal business houses.
Within four hours eight buildings in
the threatened district had been to-
tally destroyed.
A spark from the fire in the whole
sale district, several blocks away, set
fire to the roof of the Grand hotel. An
alarm again summoned all fire depart
ments All the guests were aroused
and because of the water were COM
PEELED to seek other lodgings. Loss,

Drags Mrs. Nation Out by Hair of the
Head.
Medicine Lodge, Kan.-To use her
own words, Carrie Nation was yanked
from a hack by her hair recently.
"Bill" Horn, widely known through
the southwest as a character, was the
man who did the yanking. Mrs. Ma
tion made the charge in court. "Bin"
admitted he was present at the infor-
NAL emerging of Mrs. Nation, and as
sisted in the process.
"She called me drunken sot and
jerked the cigar out of my mouth" he
said to the jury in extenuation. The
jury thought Bill" was justified in
his forcible custer because he had
lost the better part of a cent cigar,
and the verdict was mot guilty"

 In hat trimmings, blue and green, the peacock combination, is yet worn by very carefully dressed women, although cheap limitations have threatened to make this rich combination lose favor with exclusive ones.
