ROYAL SCANDAL IN. SPAIN
Suit Involving Reputation of Late
King Alfonso.


Madrid, June The supreme
court has declared itself competent to
try the suit of the heirs of Elena
SAM, the singer, against the heirs of
King Alfonso XII.
Elena SAM was a beautiful Bohe-
milan opera singer with whom Alfonso
XII, father Of the present king Of
Spain, became enamoredc She bore
the king two sons, the oldest of whom
she named Alfonso. The singer was
banished from Spain after the death
of Alfonso XII. and died poor and
friendless in Paris in 1899, though the
king is said to have fully provided for
her in his will, leaving her an ample
annuity, which was to revert after her
death to her children, who were
Minors to be paid to them until they
became Of age.
The terms of the will, however, ap-
pear not to have been carried out and
the eldest son of Nine. SAM secured
the services Of Senior Mongues, a we'll
Der of the chamber Of deputies, and
is said to be determined to have his
claim legally established at any cost.
The case was taken before the civil
courts, whose competency was ques-
toned, and eventually was referred to
the supreme court. The question of
the competency of the latter tribunal
was then brought forward, with the
result that it has declared itself COM
petent to try the case.

Umbrellas In Battle.

It is conceivable that the officers of
NeHfngton's day thought him terri
BILE old bully. He actually forbade
umbrellas in battle! He expected them
not only to expose and sacrifice their
lives at the word of command, but ac-
tually to risk the furnishing Of their
beautiful uniforms In the rain which
fell during battle near Bayonne. He
saw the Grenadiers sheltering under
forest Of umbrellas and sent off Lord
Hill with this message: Lord yelling
ton does not approve Of the use of UNI
brellas during the enemy's firing and
will not allow the 'Gentlemen's Sons
to make themselves ridiculous In the
eyes Of the army" After the battle
Colonel Tynling was reprimanded by
the duke for permitting the offense.
Said the great man, 1.-THE guards in
uniform may, when on duty at ST.
James, carry umbrellas If they please,
but in the field it Is not only ridiculous
but unmilitary." Let it not be forgot
ten, however, that the delinquents,
handles though they were, proved
themselves among the bravest when
fighting was going on.-St. James Ga
Zette.

What a Hatpin Revealed.

A certain large millinery establish
ment makes a specially Of women's
trimmed hats at S. and $40. It Is cut
ting largely into the trade Of the small
er high priced dealers. A short time
ago woman Of fashion went into the
esta blishment mentioned and tried on
several hats, but found none to suit
her. Before going out she missed a
valuable hatpin. A careful search
failed to bring it to light, and its dis
appearance remained a mystery. A
few days later the customer, still look
ing for suitable hat, visited one of
the expensive millinery shops in the
city. Among the hats shown to her,
none Of which was priced lower than
$35, was one that closely resembled
one Of the hats she had tried on In the
ten dollar store. She took it up to ex-
anime it more closely. AS she felt
the trimming she noticed that the end
Of hatpin was concealed beneath. a
bunch of artificial flowers. Drawing it
out, she discovered it to be her missing
hatpin.-New York Tribune.

Black Head cliff two years before So
BLACK Head cliff it WAS

n
He knew it to be a sheer promonto-
ry, rising 300 feet above the surf,
which dashed it's base. But sheer as
that cliff was he knew that every man
ON the Leopard had to make the base
Of it without delay. The bridge there
fore was pushed forward until, with a
shout Of JOY, it was discovered that
astern Of the Vera, between the hull
and the cliff, had formed hard, level
Ice. From the bridge to this ice the
men of the sealer made their way
Here they paused, hardly knowing
what to do. The cliff lowered over
them, and ahead were the ice clogged
surf and the reefs. They looked at the
Leopard. She had gone clear over on
her starboard side, with her foreyards
resting on shoal The rocks worried
the starboard side out of her, and the
cargo tumbled and splashed into the
waters and was swallowed.
One Of the men discovered a num-
Der of ropes depending from the top
Of the cliff to the base. A beneficent
government had placed them there in
view Of just such an accident. Haul
Ing themselves by their hands, digging
their feet in any protuberance they
could find, man after man worked up a
sheer height Of 120 feet, whence the
remaining $50 feet Of ascent were more
Bloping. A slipping Of the fingers on
the rope, the slightest weakness or
giddiness, meant instant death, but the
chance had to be taken. And they took
it in the darkness, with the hurricane
all about, and succeeded to a man.
AS Captain Bartlett, the last man
from the ship and the last man from
the bottom Of the cliff, seized the hand
ropes he turned toward his vessel a last
look. AS he did so swell caught her
and, with cargo out, tossed her high.
She landed on her beam and struggled
to right herself, like wounded animal
trying to rise. Another swell tossed
her, and down she went again on the
grinding rocks. When she rose again
she was a frayed, spineless, shapeless
hulk. Down she crashed on the black
crags, and the waves ran in, bearing
bits Of 1natchWood-th dark shape Of
the Leopard had disappeared.
Ten minutes later a thin line Of dark
figures were vending their way across
the hills to Broad Cewa

sistance in Work Still to Be Done.
San Francisco, June I'm a state
ment just issued Assistant District At
tOrney Francis J. Heney, head Of the
graft prosecution, outlines the policy
Of the men who have made possible
the Indictment Of nearly a score Of
San Francisco's wealthy capitalists,
denounces as malicious falsehoods the
charges which have been made that
the prosecutors are Influenced by po-
litical motives and openly charges that
some of the most pOWerfsll financial
interests of the country have been
brought into the battle on the side of
the alleged bride givers. Heney de-
clares that the greatest crisis in the
graft exposure is now at hand and
that the greatest crisis In the history
Of San Francisco goes side by side
with it. He charges that President
Patrick Calhoun Of the United Rail-
roads has sought the aid, of the
wealthiest bankers and merchants of
the city to free him from the clutches
Of the prosecution and prevent his
having to pay the penalty for his al
legged crimes. A meeting was held a
short time ago, he says, at which Cal
houn called together number of the
heads OF the largest San Francisco
banks and sought their aid through a
thinly yelled request for backing in
the carrying on Of the car strike.
The powerful influences which he
set at work to injure the prosecution,
Heney says, have been hampering the
prosecution to certain extent, as
they have raised sentiment Of doubt
as to the real motives behind the in
vestigation and he calls upon the citi-
zens of San Francisco to give their
fullest assistance to the work that is
still to be done.

PACKERS STAND FIRM.
Will Only Buy Cows Subject to Post
morten inspection.


Chicago, June 1.-The executive
committee of, the American Meat
Packers association, whose member
ship embraces 275 large ana small
packers in twenty-nine states, met
here and unanimously adopted reso-
luton asking all inspected slaughter
ing establishments to buy COWS and
other "she cattle" subject to post
norton inspection by the United
States government. The request was
made that immediate effect be given
the resolution. Secretary George L..
Mccarthy of the association said:
"The diseased COWS to which we OBJ
ject come from dirty, filthy farms and
it naturally follows that the dairy
herds from which most of them come
are diseased. The danger to the pub
lie by consuming milk and other dairy
products from tubercular COWS and
COWS suffering from other diseases
would be appalling If it were gensr-
ally known. The farmers who are
responsible for this condition Of af-
fairs have no incentive to keep their
farms clean and their herds free from
disease so long as they are paid full
value for diseased animals sent to
market for slaughter, but when cattle
are bought subject to inspection after
death every farmer who has been
criminally negligent will Immediately
clean up his place and take measures
to keep disease out of his herd"

Evidence of Brutal Murder.

Cincinnati, June What is be-
ieved to be evidence of a brutal MUIR
der was discovered at the Ryan soap
works on Spring Grove avenue during
the day. The mutilated and almost
completely consumed body Of man
was found In the furnace of the soap
factory. There is no clue to the iden-
tity of the man, but the indications
are such that the police believe he
was murdered and an attempt later
made to dispose Of the body.

timepiece It came-a 1oud, rending.
grinding crash and then a lifting and
quivering which told the master that
the swell had lifted the vessel clear Of
the hidden reef.
"All hands on deck! Loose the top
sailv' These two commands hurtled
from the bridge in rapid succession,
while as the chief officer headed the
craft dead for shore the signal full
speed ahead sounded down in the en-
CINE room. The sealer bounded for.
ward ten yards. Then crash and
then another. A sinister swell lifted
her high and then let her down. An
other one lifted her and dropped her
on the stony fangs below. Still anoth,
er swell raised the vessel, and this
time she fell back on her starboard
beam.
There was little excitement, accord.
ing to Captain Bartlett. The men just
chung to whatever was handy and
waited for orders. The launching OF
boats in that pastelike ice which
smothered the waters was out of the
question, and so the captain ordered
the sealers to take their pokers and
prizes and spear planks and make
a bridge. But bridge to where? The
darkness was suffocating, SO to speak
The men seemed shut in a narrow vac

ears are stopped with the noise, where
