The dining room is exceptionally well
patronized and the company is pleas

travelling public. The charges in the
dining room and for the observatory
are very moderate and within reach
of all who travel and 1t is thought
that the cars will be crowded to the
limit as soon as the public learns of
the conveniences and comforts offer

Fraulien Bertha Krupp and Lieut.. Gus

married Monday in little improvised
chapel adjoining the brides birth
place, the Villa Huegel-Huegel. The
ceremony was performed by the pas
tor of the neighboring village church,
where the krupp family has long wor-
SHIPPED.
Bertha Krupp and Lieutenant Won
Bohlen, before the wedding, announced
their joint gift of $25O,O0O to the work
mems invalid fund, and Mrs. Krupp
gave notice that she had donated an
other $250,0OO to the same fund and
125 acres of land on which to build
economical model dwellings for the
workmen. The bridegroom accompa'
MED his portion of the gift by the as
surance that he would perpetuate the
personal relations with the working
people maintained by Alfred and Fried
erich Krupp.
At the wedding breakfast the en-
peror drank the health Of the bride.
The emperor conferred upon the bride
groom the right to use the name
"Krupp Won Bohlen Und Halbach."
The position which Miss Krupp
holds in the social, industrial and po-
litical affairs of the German empire
is unique. Sixty-three thousand EN-,

MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS DEAD.
Widow of President Of the Southern
Confederacy.

New York.-Mrs. Jefferson Davis,
widow of the President of the Confed-
eracy, who had been i'll for a week at
the Hotel Majestic in this city, died at
1925 O'Clock Tuesday night. Death
was due to pneumonia induced by Il
severe cold which Mrs. Davis con
tracted upon her return from the Adj
rondacks, where she had spent the
summer months.
Although grave fears were felt from
the first, Mrs. Davis wonderful vital
ity, which brought her safely through
similar attack year ago, gave hope
of ultimate recovery until late last
night, when a decided change for the
worse was evident and the attending
physicians announced that the end
was near. 1t was then believed that
Mrs. Davis could not survive the night,
but she rallied slightly during the
early hours of to-day.
Shortly after Z O'Clock this morning
she had a similar spell and Rev.
Nathan A. Seable, pastor Of st. Ste
phens Protestant Episcopal Church,
was hurriedly summoned to give relig-
ious comfort to the patient IN her last
moments of consciousness. The clergy
man remained some time and an hour
later 1t was announced that Mrs. Da-
Wis had lapsed into state Of coma,
The period of Inconsistencies CON

when a message announcing Mrs. Da

600 have been captured in Alabama

occur in abundance, and have been

this supply is quite inadequate. and
may not last long. The quail, says
Country Life in America, is perhaps
our most popular game bird. and a
market will be found for all that can
be produced. Complete success has
been had in raising them on small

into the business on such scale that
