tanning old English nursery rhymes and
English pictures which he saw lying
around in the royal nursery. He re-
marked to the maid that he thot they
were rather curious pictures for the
future King of Spain to be brot up on,
and that he would prefer that the
dawning intellect of his son should be
stimulated by pictures of Spanish SOL
diers. The maid showed him that there
We're blank leaves in the books which
could be covered with such pictures,
thereupon the King Immediately order
ed that the artists get to work and that
the inter-leaves be filled with pictures
of Spanish soldiers in various uniforms.
Everything connected with the young
Spanish heir is of interest to the pub
lie, especially the feminine portion,
which has been greatly excited over
the question of the nurse. The young
woman selected to fill this highly i'm
portant position is a handsome, vigor-
Gus brunei of %, who came from the
Province of Santander. She wears the
traditional costume, which from time
immsmorial has been worn by Spanish
nurses of royalty, consisting of red
velvet gown trimmed with gold lace, a
necklace of small gold coins and ear
rings to match, a large silk handker-
stockings, and low patent leather shoes
with real silver buckles. What baby
could have the heart to cry when han
died by this delightfully."- picturesque
creature?
It seems to be generally accepted
f ct that William Ellis Corey has re-
signed his position as head of the sreat
steel corporation, altho this has not yet
been made public. 1t is reported that
he has also disposed of his holdings in
the corporation, forced to do so by the
demands of those high il the concern.
The presence of Judge Gary, Chairman
of the. Board of Directors of the steel
Corporation, and President Dinkay. OF
the Carnegie Steel Company, at tn"
Corey wedding. is explained as the
fulfilment on their part of compact
between the corporation and Corey
which on Corey's part called for his
resignation. The newly married couple
Were seen by no one on their voyage
very seasick. and Mr.. Corey spent his
time, consequently, in solitary gran
deur with no one to talk to except his
valet and the IA stewards who waited
OF the couple. When they left the
steamer Mrs. Corey was heavily vailed.
They went at once to their chateau not
far from Paris, which is said to have
cost him cool million, and which he
has presented to his bride. There they
intend to enjoy absolute seclusion, and
10 reporter will be allowed to get as
much as his nose inside the gates.
Abe Hummel the New York lawyer
in the public eye lately on account OF
his connection with the Dodge Morse
and Thaw cases, was sentenced to a
years imprisonment the other day,
being convicted of conspiracy. He was
a well-known figure in New York, a DE-
voted lover of the theatre, and inveter-
ate first nighter'' He was an unus-
ually small man. only five feet, one inch
in height, and had an enormous bald
head and protruding blue eyes. He was
always dressed with great care and in
excellent taste, and his happiness was
complete if he found that he was at
tracing attention. To be noticed, to
be pointed out, to see curious faces
turned in his direction was meat and
drink to him. Hummel probably
reached the hight of his notoriety in
defending Olga Nethersole, the English
actress, in the case against her for pro-
ducing "Sappho." He wrote plays
himself, some of which were not half
bad, and two of which We're produced.
The little man has no doubt richly de-
served his fate, but the picture of him
reaching out for his silk underwear
after he had been stript and bathed.
and being given instead the coarse
fannels cheap socks. and slippers, and
of his getting into the striped prison
trousers far too big every way for
him. is really pathetic. as well as fun
ny 1t was all too much for him, ac-
customed as he has been to the luxu-
ries of life, and after miserable. sleep
less night in his by cell, he was
found in the morning unable TO get up
and was taken to the hospital. He is
better now, and. it is said, will be put
to work in the bakery of the prison.
The cause of Woman's Rights is GER
tainly not helped any by the publicity
Of such cases as that of the Rev. James
Enman. of Fall River. He unquestion-
ably heads the list of down-trodden,
miserably-used husbands, and every
one will rejoice that the courts have
his cruel wife, Anna. Not only did
Anna inflict upon him the indignity of
doing the family washing, but she os-
tentatiousy picked out of the pile of
soiled linen all her shirt waists, there
by adding insult to injury by the infer
ence that his washing was of a poor
quality. Then, when he complained of
a Monday that his back ached, and that
he had a sermon TO write and really
the poorness of his sermons as well as
his washing. Even the worm will turn
after a w:lile.
Economy is almost always to be COM
mended, but the thriftiness of Mrs. Au-
gust Kramer, a widow Of GO, who lives
near Fort Atkinson, quite takes the
breath away. She has taken the false
teeth of her husband, who died two
years ago, which he had used for IS

is?
Kathrine Clemmons Gould, wife OF
Howard Gould, has begun suit in the
Supreme Court of New York for separa-

I one time with William +. Cody, Puff

venture Mr.. Gould met her about this
and in spite of the opposition of his
family married her, tho it has been err

some of his portion of the Gould mil

spent on their magnificent yacht, the
Niagara, where they entertained such
royal pcrsonages as the German Kaiser
