his voice, "Ravone Isl woefully

motives. How he could have been so
blind as to cOnfound you with that
frisky American girl-but l beg your
pardon. She is to be your guest. A
thousand pardons, your hlghness."
She had been struck dumb by the
wording of the note, but his apparently
sincere apology for his friend set her
every emotion into play once more
While he was speaking her wits were
forming themselves for conflict. She
opened the campaign with bold at
tack "YOu-you believe me to be the
princess, sure enough, don't you"
But with all her bravery she was not
able to look him In the face.
How can you doubt it, your high

present capacity if believed you to be
any one else?"

''You told me that you were the prin-

"But I've never said that was-was
any ones wife"
There was piteOus appeal in her
voice, and he was not slow to notice it
and rejoice. Then his heart smote him.
'But what is to become Of me If you
are not the princess ?" he asked after
a long pause. II can no longer serve

Death Reveals Her Sex.

Miss Catherine Vosbaugh, who
for nearly sixty years posed as a man,
died at hospital in Trinidad, Colo,
Monday Miss Vosbaugh was born in
France eighty-three years ago.
When young woman she found
1t difficult to make her way on &C
count of her sex, and, adopting mems
clothes, she obtained employment as
'bookkeeper in Joplin, Mo. This po-
stion she held for nine years. and
then accepted position in ST. Jo-
seph (Mo.) bank
While in St. Joseph she married a
woman, with whom she lived for over
thirty years. The woman was in
trouble, and Charles" Vosbaugh
married her to protect her.
The two women, still masquerading
as man and wife, came to Trinidad,
Colo, two years ago. After the death
of her wife" Miss Vosbaugh worked
there in various capacities until she

Pennsylvania to Pay in Scrip and
Cash.

The rumor which has been circulat-
ed among Pennsylvania men in this
city for the past week, relative TO the
road paying off in paper instead OF
cash this month, was Monday cor
roborated on good authority. 1t is
said that the company will give each
man As per cent OF his monthly earn
ings in the shape of check and the
other So per cent in cash Although
the local bankers would not state that
they would accept the papers it is be-
lieved by the company officials that
the men will experience no difficulty
whatever in cashing them. Some OF
the laborers, especially the foreigners
employed by the company, are very
uneasy over the prospect OF receiving
a slip OF paper instead OF the stuff
with ring to it, which they have
heretofore taken from the car The
more Intelligent element, however,
do not view the situation with much
alarm, as they consider check on
the Pennsylvania company equally as
good as one on the government.
The system of paying in checks
can never be taken up permanently,
according TO an official of the COM
pany, inasmuch as the lease which the
old Pittsburg. Fort Wayne & Chicago
railroad gave to the Pennsylvania
stipulated that al employees must be
paid in cash at least once a month

Rising Against the Mayor of Muncie.

AT fifteen minutes before noon
Monday every facotry in Muncie be-
gan blowing and kept up the din for
a quarter of an hour as a reminder of
the voters OF Muncie to turn out that
night to protest before the City Coun-
Gil against Mayor Lon A. Guthrie
and his administration of city affairs,
and to demand relief.
An overwhelming tide has set in
against Mayor Guthrie as the result
OF his alleged Encouragement of city
affairs, eliminating in the facts con-
nectei with the fire which destroyed
the Goddard wholesale establishment
last Friday a demand is made that
he be removed from office At the
Council meeting Monday night that
body was formally presented with pc
titions bearing the names of thous-
andS of voters, including nearly all
large property owners, in which the
Council was asked to impeach Mayor
Guthrie as incompetent.
A specially-appointed committee of
fifty persons cahvassed the city for
signatures to the petition demanding
Guthrie's removal. The city was di-
vided into districts for this purpose
The leaders of the movement are the
most prominent manufacturers and
business men, who believe their inter-
ests are in danger by the incompetent.
cy of the fire department, and these
men are back of Mayor Guthrie's po-
litical enemies, who have always been
enemies, and whose enmity has re-
suited in the factionalism that has di-
vided the Republican party for years
1t is set forth in the petition that
Mayor Guthrie has played petty poll
tics instead OF trying to conserve the
interests of the people that he remov-
ed John Casey, the 'city's best FIRE
chief, for mere political reasons and
appointed in his stead the political re-
tainer, Harry Gallivan, who was at
terward discharged to make room for
another political friend, Paul Kerlen;
that Kerlen was once discharged by
a previous administration for incom-
potency and that his incompetency
was shown again at the Goddard fire
when he was utterly unable to cope
with the situation; that it was neces-
sary in that fire to call FOR the SER
vices of former chief Casey and that
Casey organized the fire-hghting
force and saved something from the
wreckage; that the mayor was then
petitioned to forget Ais differences
with Casey and reaPpoint him, but he
retAsed and after discharging Kerlen
during the fire, appointed in his stead
Ollie Baldwin, a man utterly without
experience as a fireman.
