n to Abruzzi.
The Milan Unione, Of Rome, Italy,
4 clerical paper. publishes an article
which has been reproduced by the
whole Italian press, to the effect that
the Duke of-the. Abruzzi will probably
SOON go to the United States to make
definite Arrangements for his marriage
Of Miss Katherine Elkins, the daughter
Of United States Senator Elkins, Of
West Virginia, and that 1t is reported
that the ceremony may take place on
Jan. 90, the iuke's birthday. Accord
ing to the Unione the Count of Turin a
few days ago visited Dowager Queen
Margarita at. Gressoney, where she is
spending the summer, and attempted
to overcome her opposition to the mar
riage OF his brother, the Duke Of the
Abruzzl and Miss Elkins..
1t had been the intention Of the Duke
to have the marriage ceremony take
place in December If the opposition of
the royal family could be, removed, but
during the recent celebration of the sill
yer wedding Of the Duke and Duchess
Of Genoa, Mt which all the Savoy
princes were present, opposition OH the
part of Queen Margarita appeared
stronger than ever. She said, however,
that time might bring change in her
opinion. and after waiting a reasonable
period the Count Of Turin sought her
at her country home.
I'm espousing the cause Of his brother
the count declared to the dowager
queen that the duke was steadfast in
his love for Miss Eikins, and that If
he broke his engagement to her it
would be impossible FOR him to form
mn alliance with any one else. He ad-
dcd that Miss Elkins possessed all the
qualifications to enter the house OF
Savoy, and that while she was not of
royal blood this was In keeping with
the family tradition, as the late Prince
Anadeo. luke of Aosta, married lady
of recent nobility who. however, sat on
the throne of Spain for five years. The
court added also that MS the duke was
now thlrty-five years OF age 1t would

rlage much longer.
Queen Margarita answered that her
views on the question had not chang
ed, and she refused to give her con-
sent to the marriage. She objected to
such an alliance also because she be.

SAME NAME, AND
SIMILAR HISTORY
Two AnthOnyS and Their
Careers.

New York Dec. 15.-Sharing the
same name, the same city address,
and in common many of the most
remarkable experiences of their lives.
is the result of the discovery of a
strange series of condolences made
by George w. Anthony, of Burling-
ton, New Jersey, and North Caro-
lima. Despite the similarity in
names and the fact that their lives
have seemingly run in parallel chan
nels, the two men remained in ig-
norance of each others existence I'M
til short time ago.
1t was mistake of a postal clerk
that finally brought the two men to-
gether. Mistaking an N j., for an
IN. c." in the State address, the
man in the postoffice sent to the
Southern Anthony a letter that
should have come to Burlington, N.
]. Explanation of the mistake and
the rectifying of the same brought
out the facts of the dual cognomens.
A short time after this the men met
at the home of Mr.. Anthony in New
Jersey.
Recounting that while the New
Jersey Anthony had been a drummer
boy in the Northern army during the
civil war, his guest had filled a simil-
lar capacity in a Southern regiment,
and that their commands had faced
one another on more than one bat
tletield At the same time they had
been mustered out and began the
fight for a livelihood. The upward
struggle for both was braught with
much hardship, but both won, the
man in the North to build up an i'm
mense retail trade, and his Southern
namesake to own a rich lumber
trade.
Then the two men found that even
in their bereavements their dual
fate had pursued them. Each had
lost his wife about the same time.
and both We're widowers when they
met.
Now, to their mutual surprise.
new experience had been duplicated.
Mr.. Anthony, of New Jersey, recently
married for the second time. He
and his bride had scarcely returned
from their wedding tour when he re-
ceived letter bearing the informa-
ton that his friend of dual name in
North Carolina had also married.
The two men have been unable to
discover the least trace of even a
distant family connection.

Radical Party is Latest
SUppIiGdnt.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 14.-When a
million voters sign the address is
sued yesterday as a result of the
meeting held at the ST. James Ho-
tel, under the auspices of the Nat
ional Provisional Committee an adj
junct of Populism, a national consti-
tutional convention for the United
States to displace the present one,
which the conferees deemed too an
tiquated, will be called according to
]. w. Forrest of Albany, NJ Y, chair
man of the Provisional Committee.
The address, which embodies the
platform of the new Radical party,
which is still in an embryonic state,
covers five closely typewriter pages.
1t will be mailed to members of the
Provisional Committee with a lined
space appended for signatures. When
the million signers are obtained
through an endless chain process, as
explained by Forrest, then the consti-
tutional convention will be called and
the new constitution adopted. Just
how this is to be done is not ex-
planned in detail.
The address sets forth that the pres
ent constitution stands in the way of
reform, being "cut down in it's in
