SKETCH OF THE LOVELY WHITE
HOUSE BRIDE OF THE DAYS
OF GENERAL GRANT.

She Met Algernon Sartoris, Her
Future Husband. on Shipboard on
Return European irip-lS Mother
! OF Three Ihiioren.
f; No American girl, not even President
'Roosevelt's daughter, ever had a more
brilliant wedding than Nellie Grant,
che beloved child of the great Civil
War hero; yet of late years the public,
which has always taken a kindly inter
est in Gen. Grants family, has heard
comparatively little of his only daugh-
ter.
When Mrs. Julia Dent Grant. widow
OF the President, was living, her
daughter spent much time with her
mother at the latter's home in the city
OF Washington, but since the death of
her mother Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris
can scarcely be said to have had a fixed
residence in any American city. How
ever, she has always been very fond
OF st. Louis, and she made her home in
Che Missouri metropolis during most Of
the time the recent Worlds Fair was
In progress there.
! Possibly the liking OF Mrs. Sartoris
for St Louis is to be attributed to the
fact that her birth, in August. 1855,
occurred at her Grandfather Dents
country home near st. Louis, the birth
place of her mother. When General
Grant was elected President, and in
deed during the first three years that
he and his wife lived at the White
House, the daughter was at school
Toward the close Of President Grants
first term, however, Miss Nellie made
per social debut at the Presidential
mansion, and her cadet brother, home
from West Point, was her escort and
companion

VESUVIUS GAZING IN
Another Portion of Crater Falls.
Alarming Naples.

:. Naples, Dec. 21.-Another portion of
the crater of Mount Vesuvius fell in
yesterday and caused a great eruption
of ashes, cinders and sand. It was not
preceded or accompanied, however, by
for twenty minutes a rather heavy, rain
OF ashes fell over Naples. The rain Of
ashes created alarm in the more pom
ulous quarters of the city. Women
began praying to the Madonna and the
saints not to visit them with another
punishment at Christmas time such as
came shortly before last Easter.
Calm was soon restored. The ashes

Fatal Rabies.
Journal Special Service.
New York, Dec. 21.-Frank Butkanal
70 years old, Of Pleasantville, N. Y, Is
dead Of hydrophobia.
The manner of ButkanaPs infection
with the virus is unique in the history
OF the disease. 1t was the caress Of
gratitude, the touch Of the cold muzzle
and the moist tongue Of a Newfoundland
dog he nursed thru its illness that brought
about the TRANSMISSION Of the deadly
poison.
Butkanal was employed as handy man
by DR.. S. V. Jones, near Pleasantville.
Among the doctors pets was the New
foundland dog. In October the dog was
bitten by terrier which was afflicted
by rabies. The Newfoundland killed the
terrier, but later, despite the care given
him, showed symptoms Of rabies and was
shot. Butkanal became violent last

The College Whist.

The college whist and reception which was given at Eagles hall last evening by St Mary's T. A. society was one of the brilliant events of the season.

WANTS TO BE, KING.
Prince FeEdinand Seeks IndepeI,
 dence for Bulgaria. !.


 Ever since Prince Ferdinand was placed over Bulgaria by the powers he has been filled with the ambition for himself anl the country he ruled of wearing a crown and having his coun- try independent of Turkey.
 The announcement from Sofia that he has sent Premier Gen. Petroff to those European chancelleries personally in terested in the status of the Balkan principality to gain their consent to the proclamation of Bulgarian independ- ence and the elevation of the country to kingdom, has awakened new inter- est
 It seems that this project has long been the subject of private corre- spondence from Sofia, where 1t is be- lieved that the premier's mission will be successful. Preparations are even making there for the coronation of Prince Ferdinand as king of Bulgaria on July 2 next, just 19 years since he was elected reigning prince by the na- tional assembly
 The position of Prince Ferdinand and his government is an anomaly in the

Diamond Will Be in Better Shape for

 Workmen have been engaged the past couple of days making repairs on the ball field with a view to get ting the infield better than what 1t was. The hill near left field and third base is being cut away, which fact will be well appreciated by the fans. A large part of the territory between second and third base and extending out into left field was torn up yesterday and the players in their next home game on Tuesday should find this part of the diamond in much better shape than 1t has been. The poles are being put down in the land recently purchased and within short time the fence should be moved back as the filling in Is going on rapidly.

Cold from Electricity.

The direct production of cold from electricity is a problem that electrical engineers are considering. Something may be done by connecting a motor 70 an air compressor and expanding the compressed air into a cold storage chamber. but this is costly and cum- brous. We may expect the electro chemist to refrigeraie by energy from the electric supply mains throush some such direct method as a reversed battery abstracting heat from the air.

PRINCE FERDINAND OF BULGARIA.

PRINCE FERDINAND OF BULGARIA. Balkans. Their present status is utter ly utterly incommensurate with the importance of the political tumult of which they are periodically the center. That there seems to be just now dearth of cable news reporting revolutionary outbreaks on the Macedonia frontier does not mean that Macedonia is quiet. Private letters from the Balkans reveal that the revolutionary spirit against Turkey Is as active as ever. but also that the treasury of the publicity bureau of the Macedonian revolutionary commit- tee is empty-hence there are no dis patches.
 When. in the autumn of 1903. the cable was hot with news from Mace donia, Prince Ferdinand again and again importuned the powers inter ested to relieve him of his vassalage to Turkey. The porte, however. proved from more or less authentic data that the whole Macedonian insurrectiop was due to Bulgaria; that flibustering ex- petitions were. fitted out in the prin- cipality and created havoc Snong the Turkish troops sent to bring tran quillity and security" in Macedonia; and that these expeditions were direct ed by Bulgarian officers lon sick leave" !" The powers finally got together. admin istered rebuke to Ferdinand. and de- vised reform scheme which Turkey has been more or less successfully ap- plying to the country southwest of Bull garia. At that time. Gen. Petroff pledged, on behalf of his sovereign. Bull garia's neutrality-a pledge which even the porte admits has been kept:
 We want peace-above all things peace. give you my word of honor that neither nor the government nor any political party has ever dreamed>of in- cooperating Macedonia. Personally, I am not in favor of Macedonian autonomy. We wish only to see our kindred across the border enjoying the security of their lives and property. Bulgaria herself desires peace more thsD any state in Europe. Peace is the only salvation for the principality."
 Ferdinand, unlike the king of Servia and Prince Nicholas of Montenegro, is not to the manor born. He is the young est son of the late Prnce Augustus of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Princess Clementine. daughter of King Louis Philippe of France. On the publication of Prince Alexander. the powers prsc- tically placed him In Sofia as a "safs man." His wife was Marie Louise. eld- est daughter of Duke Robert of Parma. She died In giving birth to their young estdaughter. Princess Nadejda. Thecon- frmation of Ferdinand's selection by the powers and of his election by the local national assembly was only se- cured from the Porte after the most humiliating restrictions had been placed upon him. He must remain per manently in the principslity and the state of his eountry-religion. educs- ton. finance. defense. industry and com merce-must be periodically scrutin- ized by the ministry at the Yfldiz Kiosk.

War on Soap.

Scientific medical authorities are waging war on soap; that is, soap in a form commonly used. The cakes of toilet soap for promiscuous use have already been driven from nearly all the hotels and office buildings in New York. Some startling discov- cries were made recently in tests of soap taken from a number of New York hotels. Filth and disease bac- teria were found in nearly every sam. pie. The soap from the frst-class ho- tels was no better than that found in cheaper hostelries.

Attorney General c. c. Coleman this
morning flied in the supreme court his
formal accusations in the second con-
tempt case against Mayor W. W. Rose
of Kansas City. These accusations are
practically the same as the former ac-
cusations, but the cause Of action Is
the effort which Mayor Rose made to
hold the Office of mayor after he had
been once fined $1,000 for contempt.
and before he had secured a stay from
the supreme court of the United States.
After reciting the history Of the
Rose case, including the various ac-
tons of the state supreme court the
accusation OF the attorney general goes
on to say:

standing the said Judgment of the

1nent did persist in attempting to hold
the said office and to exercise the pow
ers, duties and functions thereof by
appearing in the city council cham Der
of said city Of Kansas City Kansas.

side as mayor Of said city in a regu-
lar meeting of the city council Of said

nance and contempt of this court and

Judgment, and is now in open contempt
of this court usurping and unlawfuIly
exercising the said Office of mayor OF
