BRIDE POSSESSES MILLIONS.
What the marriage settlements are
is, of course, known only to the parties
and their lawyers, and all statements
concerning them, their terms Or the
total amount on either side have been
purely efforts of the Imagination.
When the bride attained her majority
last August she came into possession of
more than $4,000 which was her
share, with interest, of the $50, 900. 900
estate left by her father. Though the
bride is one of the wealthiest young
women in America, the Count, SO his
friends assert, is not fortune hunter
and has given little attention to the
handsome dot that comes with his
bride. He is the owner of a large estate
in Hungary and, on the whole, is said
to be far better provided with this
worlds goods than has been the case
with the majority of foreign noblemen
who have married American heiress.

PLANS A REVOLUTION
Against Castro State Department
and Holland Sanction Movement
on Foot In New York.

Washington, Aug. 24.-With the
full sanction of the state department
of the American government, and
with the promise of the effective as
sistance from Holland, well organic
ed revolution is being planned to over
throw President Castro of Venezuela.
The revolutionary movement, now
being financed in New York and else
where, will become operative directly
after the rainy season in Venezuela,
which is about the middle of October
1t is hoped that within a few months
new Venezuelan ruler will replace
President Castro, an object which the
state department. Holland, Colombia
and the Venezuelan malcontents have
every confidence of accomplishing.
Plans have already been begun for
inaugurating the revolution. Finan-
cial backing is not lacking, as money
is pouring in from New York, as well
as from other sources. The amount
available to perfect the revolutionists'
plans may run up into the millions.
The leader in the plan has been
busily engaged in mapping out his
campaign for weeks. His first step
was to consult the state department,
and he learned from both Secretary
Root and Mr.. Bacon that, while the
United States government could not
support a revolutionary movement, at
the same time conditions in Vene-
zuela were such that no interference
by the United States need be antici-
pated.
Holland has been informed of the
and will aid in blockading
Venezuelan ports, while the land at
tack begins along the Arauca river,
on the Colombian border For this
reason the state department expects
no drastic action on the part of Hol-
land until the time comes to strike in
October.

Increasing Fire Hazard.
Editor Public Opinion:


AS a timely suggestion | take the
privilege of calling the publics atten.
tlon-through your valuable paper-of
the increasing fire hazard that is be-
ing occasioned daily to the property
of our citizens owing to improper care
and storage of automobiles.
The majority of the owners have
had little. if any experience in the
handling of gasoline which is one of
the most dangerous of explosives. and
the common storage of these ma
chimes, anywhere and everywhere by
their owners, is bound to endanger
property far more than the ow ners
realize.
Only short time ago, whole
block of frame dwellings burned to
the ground in one of our western
cities, the direct cause of same being
the storage of private car in the
owners barn, he returning late in the
evening and failed to give the machine
due attention.
Insurance companies are exception
ally strict in regard to this hazard and
require an extra charge and permit
for the storage of autos, otherwise
their storage makes the policy on the
building in which it is kept void, and
| those familiar with the automobile
fire hazard would not allow the
erection of private garage near their
property no more than they would a
small nitro-glycerine factory.
In submitting this article, am not
obj citing to the use of an automobile,
but as a warning against the careless
handling and storage of the same.
Respectfully.
