KINGS CRADLE FOR SALE.
Crib I'm which Henry V Was Rocked
to Sleep Has History.


London. March THE disadvantage o
most personal relics is that their ped
gree is faulty. and flaws in such matter.
are fatal. The cradle of Henry V, whicl
Messrs. Christie will sell in the famous
collection of the late w ]. Braikenridge.
OF Cleveden, Somerset, has pedigree
which is as convincing as such things
can be.
When the royal baby used the cradle it
was at Courtheld. near Monmouth. The
infant prince was at that time in the care
of Lady Montacute. heiress of Thomas de
Monthermer. and granddaughter of Ed
ward l.
Associated with Lady Montacute in the
care of the prince was an ancestor of the
Rev. Peregrine Ball. who died in 1894. and
who inherited the interesting relic, which
was frequently illustrated and described
in the antiquarian books and periodicals
of the eighteenth century. 1t was repro
duced in the London Magazine Of March,
1Ui, when II was in the possession OF the
Rev. Mr. Ball.
The cradle was given by the Rev. Mr..
Balls son to a Mr. Whitehead, and
thence passed into the keeping of a Mrs.
Barnes, of Bristol, at whose sale. in 1855.
il was purchased by the founder Of the
Breckenridge collection.
For some time the cradle was exhibited
at the Victoria and Albert Museum 1t
is in oak, and IS OF oblong form At each
end Is a carved figure of an eagle. which
is assumed 10 be the Monthermer arms.

Enter Village House Frustrated.

Budapest. March IA lonely farm on
the estate OF Count Karolyi has been the
scene OF an exciting encounter with arm
ed robbers. who had conceived a daring
plan for pillaging the house In the alb
sence Of its owners.
Late in the evening A man. carrying
huge sack and apparently almost ex-
hausted. knocked at the door OF the farm
and begged for nights shelter. The
only occupant OF the house at the time
was the farmers young daughter. who.
not liking the mans appearance. did not
care about admitting him; but, at his
earnest entreaty, allowed him to leave
the sack The stranger, depositing his
burden in the kitchen, then left, and the
girl began to prepare the evening meal.
While she was doing so noise caused
her 10 look around, and, TO her horror,
she saw that the sack was moving. as
though some one were inside. Then the
blade Of knife appeared, slowly cutting
through the sacking. Thoroughly terri

stopped at once, and blood commenced TO
The girl, now almost mad with alarm,
fed from the house and went In search
of help. After going some distance, she
met her father and told him what had
happened. at which he obtained the ac-
si5tance of two gendarmes and hurried
home. The gendarmes speedily cut open
the sack, and inside found the dead body
of a burly man, armed with a revolver
and a knife, with a gunshot wound in
the head, which had evidently caused
death. Suspended from his neck WAS

Signora Vitolos two children. a girl
nine years old and a boy Of three, ate
some OF the sweets. Almost Immediately
they were seized with terrible commissions
and all the signs Of stryehnine poisoning.
The little girl was saved. but the boy
died in his parents arms
The wife showed the note signed Muzio
Mattace 20 her husband. who said he
knew the man, but that he could not have
sent the box. The police of Saierno and
Naples were informed OF what had hap
pened, and set 10 work TO ascertain the
truth.
The post-ofice. at Naples from which
the packet was sent was found. and the
girl clerk remembered that on the day
noted as elderly man, accompanied by
the boy OF the Hotel Unione. near the
station, had brought the box Further
engaged a room for four days at this
hotel and had Immediately asked for
some one to show him a confectioners
where he could buy sweets.
The hotel boy, Luigi. took him TO
neighboring shop. where he bought
sweets. They were neatly packed into a
box and the boy then wanted 10 take ii
straight to the post-offlce. but the man
insisted on first returning 10 his room in
the hotel. The boy waited outside his
door, but, growing impatient, went in
without knocking.
The man, whom he saw standing al
table on which were streWed Ali the
sweets was evidently startled and much
diseomposed. He sent the boy off for
more sweets, and when they came pack
ed all again into the box. He went with
Luigi to the post-office and sent the boy
inside TO post It, When the boy came out
again the man had vanished.

turned from New York. also a chemist
by profession, who. II is also alleged, had
been making experiments with strychnine
