"Jokev Caused sterry Tragedy.

New York, May 21.-An unauthor- ized announcement of the engagement of George E. Sterry, Sr., the aged mill lionaire, to Miss Rachel Blaikie was the cause, it became known, of the double tragedy, when George B. Ster- ", Jr., killed his father to prevent the marriage and then ended his own life. Either through malice or with mis- taken sense of humor some one in East Orange inserted in the papers of that town notice of the engagement before the old drug manufacturer and the young schoolteacher really were engaged. Mr Sterry, it is said, had not intended to announce the engage ment until he had made satisfactory arrangements about sharing his for tune of several million dollars among his sons and his intended wife, each to receive an equal amount.

 Markart emerged from the circle, which had widened out in obedience to the physicians orders. As he hur- ried past the prince he said: The king has fsinted. sir. I'm going to fetch Lepage." Two or three other men ran to open the windows.

Ministers From New York and Berea,
 O., Believed to Have Been Chosen.
 Baltimore, May 21.-The event to which the entire Methodist Episcopal world has been looking forward, the election of bishops by the current gen eral conference, began, two ballots be- ing taken. The first was without ef- feet, and the result of the second was held secret for a time. The first bal lot was remarkable in number of ways. one of them being the large number of men who received votes. Of these there were, 240, although but eight men can eventually be success full. The Rev. w. F. Anderson, secre- tary of the board of education, freed- mems aid and Sunday schools, and the Rev. J. L. Nuelsen. professor of the German Wallace college at Berea, O., headed the poll with 446 and 445 votes respectively.
 The vote was remarkably large, TT ballots being cast (seven of which were thrown out as defectiyel out of a total possible of 7S7 legal votes if every delegate who might have been elected all over the world were actu- ally in attendance on the conference. A prominent bishop said that the cleo ton just begun is notable as showing less of politics and more of real search for the most worthy leaders than any that has been held for many years.
 Information believed to be reliable Is to the effect that the second ballot cast by the Methodist Episcopal general conference resulted in the election as bishops of Mir. Anderson and Mir. Nuel- sen, who had decisive lead over all other candidates on the first ballot.

DOCTOR FoREToLD HIS END.

 His House In order-contraeted Dis-
 ease From Grateful Lick of Pct Dog.
 Studied His Own Case.
 New York, May 21.-With nervous twitching of the hands and facial con. tortions that mortified the distressed members. of his family, but probably unconscious of the frightful agony of it all because of the merciful use of opiates, William H. Marsh of Brook lyn died from hydrophobia in his home. He had been told by Dr. Will liam L. Wheeler, director of the Pas teur institute, that he had come too late and that the Pasteur treatment would not avail. Calmly the condemn ed man asked how many days he had to live, and on being told not more than four days were between him and death Marsh said he could meet his fate without fear, having his affairs in good shape.
 There was no trace of nervousness
 
 and the convulsive tightening of his jaws as Marsh drove away in his car riage from the Pasteur institute to wait a far worse fate than the state decrees to the slayer of his fellow man. Having made his business af- fairs straight. the inventor went to his home and to bed. The fearful convul- sions had seized him. He exacted the promise from his private physician, Dr. Cullinan, that he would be kept under the influence of opiates that his physical torture might be lessened. He was only partly conscious when the final convulsions preceding death came upon him.
 Cases Rare In Medical History.
 Marsh was president of a water me ter company. He was one of those re- markable characters. who accomplish great things and seldom are heard of by the general public. He invented many mechanical devices and made and lost four large fortunes. His wa ter meter was rapidly making him an-

The pet dog was bitten by mongrel that ran mad six weeks ago through the neighborhood near Marsh's shop. The spaniel, Fluff, of which Marsh was very fond, was romping about the shop door when the mad cur tore its side Marsh called a veterinary surgeon and had the wound dressed. Then he cared for Fluff himself. The grateful animal licked Marsh's hands in dumb recognition of the tender treatment of its wound. There was ''hangnail' on one of Marsh's fingers. and it is believed that through this in-

mountain town, and its surrounding villages. Distant and self restrained in Slavna, here he was open, gay and full of an almost boyish ardoy.
 Its worth coming here just to see its effect on you" Max told him as the two rode back together from Volseni on the day or Sophy's arrival. They had been at work, and the recruiting promised we'll
 The prince laughed gayly. Coming here from Slavna is like fresh air after an oven," he said. No need to watch your tongue or other peoples! You can laugh when you IiSe and frown when you like without dozen people asking what's your motive for doing it."
 But really you shouldn't have cho- sen diplomatist for your companion, sir, if you feel like that"
 T haven't" he smiled. "I've left the diplomatist down there and brought the soldier up. And now that the ladies are coming"-
 "Ah, now we must watch our tongues little bit! Mime. Zerkovitch is very pretty, and the baroness might make me absolutely poetical"
 Least prying of men, yet Max von Hollbrandt could not resist sending with this speech a glance at his com panion. The visit of the baroness com pelled this much tribute to curiosity. But the princess face was picture of unembarrassed pleasure.
 Then be poetical! We'll all be po- eticalw he cried merrily. 'In the in- tervals of drilling be it understood!' he added with laugh.
 Into this atmosphere, physical and r1oral-the exhilaration of keen noun tain breezes. the brightness of win- ter sun, the play of high hopes and of high spirit-came Sophy, with all her power of enjoying and her ardor in inn agining. Her mind leaped from the sad embraces of the past to fly to the arms of the present, to beckon gladly to the future. No more than this had yet emerged into consciousness. She was not yet asking how for good or evil she stood or was to stand toward the prince. Fortune had done wonderful things for her and was doing more yet. That was enough, and beyond that for the moment she was not driven.
 The mixture of poetry and drilling suited her to perfection. She got both when she rode over to Volseni with the prince. Crisp snow covered the ground and covered, too. the roofs of the old gray. hillside city-long, slop- ing roofs. with here and there a round tower with a snow clad extinguisher atop. The town was no more than one long street, which bayed out at the farther end into market place. It stood with its back against mountain side, defended on the other three sides by a sturdy wall, which only now, aft CT five centuries, began to crumble away at the top.
 At the city gate bread and salt were brought to the bailiff and his compan- ion, and she and he rode side by side down the long street to the market place. Here were two or three hun dred tall. fine fellows waiting thei leader Drill had not yet brought for

The boy ,ot.SIisG tie mark with his finger. A look of childish awe came into his blue eyes.
 "Your luck!" he said softly and con tinued to look at the mysterious sign after Sophy had set him down again. The little scene was told all over Slav- na before night. and men and women talked, according to their temper, of the nature and the meaning of the red star If only the foolish think about such things, even the wise talk.
 The king left his chair and mingled with his guests. His movement was the signal for a general relaxation of ceremony. The prince came across the room and joined Sophy, who had re- turned to Marie Zerkovitch's side. He offered the baroness his congratula- tions, but in somewhat constrained thing else. Once or twice he looked in- quiringly at Marie, who, in her turn, showed signs of restlessness or dis tress. A silence followed on Sophy'si expression of her acknowledgements. The prince glanced again at Marie and made up his mind to speak.
 You've done me the kindness ask edY' he inquired of Marie.
 Marie picked at the feathers of her fan in unhappy embarrassment. "No, sir; haven't. IT couldn't"
 "But why not?" he asked in surprise.
 "T-I couldn't," repeated Marie, flush ing.
 He looked at her gravcly for mo. ment, then smiled. ''Then must plead my own cause" he said and turned to Sophy. "Next week I'm leaving Slav- na and going to my castle of Praslok. It's near Vo.seni, you know, and want to raise and train my gunners at Vol seni. We must be ready for our guns when they come, mustn't we?"
 His eyes met hers, eager glance ex- changed for glance as eager. "Our gunsw whispered Sophy under her breath.
 Marie here and Zerkovitch have promised to come with me. He'll write what ought to be written, and she'll cook the dinners" He laughed. "Oh. well, we do live very simply at Pras- lok. We shall be there three months at least. I asked Marie to persuade you to come with her and to stay as long as you could, but she's disappoint- ed me. must plead for myself"
 The changing expressions of Sophys eyes had marked every sentence of his speech, and Marie marked every ex- pression of the eyes. They had grown forlorn and apprehensive when he spoke of leaving Slavna. A sudden joy leaped into them at his invitation to Praslok.
 You'll come for little? The scenery is very fine and the people interesting"
 Sophy gave low laugh. Since the scenery is fire and the people interest ing. yes, monseigneur."
 Their eyes met again. and he echoed back her laugh. Marie Zerkovitch drew in her breath sharply. With swift in- sight she saw and foresaw. She remembered the presentiment under whose influence she had begged Sophy not to come to Kravonia. But fate had weighted the scales heavily against

 movies, his friend, is another matter and remained locked in that statesman's heart Publicly and to ev- erybody else from the Prince of Slav- na downward he declared that there was no ground for apprehension and that the king merely needed rest ana change. After a few days of the fur mer 1t was proposed to seek the latter by moving the court to his majesty's country seat at Dobrava-that estate from which Sophy had been graciously bidden to choose her title. Meanwhile there was no reason why the prince should not carry out his intention and proceed to the castle of Praslok.
 Below Slavna the main postroad-as has already been stated. there was no railway at this time-follows the course of the river Krath for about five miles in southeasterly direction. It Is then carried across the stream. which con
 
 cient wooden bridge and runs north east for another fifteen miles through fiat country and past prosperous agri- cultural and pastoral villages till it reaches the marshy land bordering Lake Talt. The lake, extending from this point to the spurs of the mountain range which forms the frontier, bars its farther direct progress, and it di- vides into two branches The right prong of the fork continues on the level till it reaches Dobrava, eight miles from the point of dissection. Here 1t inclines to the northeast again and, aft CT some ten miles of steady ascent. crosses the mountains by St. Peters pass, the one carriage road over the range and over the frontier. The left prong becomes a steep ascent directly the bisection has occurred, rising sharp ly for five miles to the hill on which the castle of Praslok stands. Then 1t runs for another five miles on a high plateau till it ends at the hill city of which stands on the edge of the plateau. looking down on Lake ] Talti and across to Dobrava, in the 1 plain opposite.
