"But, dear, you are making the worst of things" the grand duchess said soothingly, her hand on the girls bright hair. Why, instead of crying you ought to be smiling, I think. Leo pold must love you desperately or he would never have proposed marriage, even morganatic marriage. Just at first the idea must have shocked you, knowing who you are. But, remember, if you were Miss Mow bray it would have been triumph. Many women of high position have married royalty morganatically, and every one has re- Spected them. You seem to forget that the emperor knows you only as Helen Mowbray."
 He ought to have known that Helen Mowbray was not the girl to consent no, not more easily than Virginia of Baumenburg-Drippe. He should have understood without telling that to q girl with Anglo-Saxon blood in her veins such an offer would be like a blow over the heart"
 "How should he understand it? He is Rhaetian. His point of view
 His point of view to me is terrible. Oh, mother, it's useless to argue. Ev- erything is spoiled Of course if he knew l was Princess Virginia he would be sorry for what he had proposed even if he thought I'd brought it on myself. But then it would be too late. Don't you understand? l valued his love because it was given to me, not the princess. If he said, Now 1 know you I can offer my right hand instead of my left to you as my wife, that would not be the same thing at all. No; there's nothing left but to go home. and the emperor of Rhaetia must be told that Virginia of Baumenburg- Drippe has decided not to marry. That will be our one revenge, but pitiful one, since he'll never know that the princess who refuses his right hand and the Helen Mowbray who wouldn't take his left are one and the same. Oh, mother, I did love him so, Let us get out of this hateful house as soon as we can"
 The grand duchess knew her daugh- ter and abandoned hope Yes, if you will not forgive him we must go at once and save our dignity if we can," she said. "The telegram will give us our excuse. I told the baroness I had received bad news, and she asked per mission to knock at my door before going to bed and inquire how I was feeling. She may come at any mo- ment. We must say that the telegram recalls us immediately to England"
 "Listen"' whispered Virginia. Il think there's some one at the door now.'
 Baroness von Lyndal stood aghast on hearing that she was to be deserted early in the morning by the bright particular star of her house party after the emperor She begged that Lady Mowbray would reconsider: that she would wire to England instead of going, or, at all events. that she would wait for one day more until Leopolds visit to Schloss Lyndalberg should be over.
 In her anxiety she even failed in tact when she found arguments useless. "But the emperor" she objected If you go off early in the morning before he or any one comes down, what will he think? What will he say at being cheated out of his au revoir:"
 The grand duchess hesitated. But Virginia answered firmly: "I said good by to him tonight. The emperor-win understand"

 At sight of the emperor off came the famous hat, barring the bald dome of the fine old head, fringed with hair of curiously mingled black and white.
 Good day. your majesty" he said, with no sign of surprise in his voice or face.
 The train rocked going around a curve, and it was with difficulty that the chancellor kept his footing. But he stood rigidly erect, supporting him. self in the doorway until the emperor, with more politeness than enthusiasm, invited him to enter and be seated.
 I'm glad you're we'll enough to tray el, chancellor" said Leopold. "We had none too encouraging an account of you from Captain von Breitstein."
 II travel because you travel, your majesty replied the old man. "It is kind of you to tolerate me here, and appreciate it."
 Now they sat facing each other, and the young man. fighting down a sense of guilt. familiar to him in boyish days when about to be taken to task by the chancellor, gazed fixedly at the hard, clever face on which the after noon sun scored the detail of each wrinkle.
 "Indeedw was the emperor's only answer.
 Your majesty. I have served you and your father before you well, I hope-faithfully. I know. I think you trust me-"
 No man more. But this sounds a portentous preface. Is it possible you

Miss Nell sang Night Time" in manner denoting splendid cultivation, and as she was in splendid voice, the number was spe- cially pleasing to her auditors, and particularly to the writer who enjoyed 1t thoroughly. She received hearty applause. but owing to misunder- standing on the part of the curtain manager. she did not respond 10 the encore.

 The mayor stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of talk ing up the matter of a fan circuit and If possible to re-esta bllsh the electric fan service formerly enjoyed by the citizens and business men of Forrest City throughout the summer months.
 The subject was discussed at length and as the city has no funds t was suggested by Alderman Russell that the matter be referred to the Water and Light committee and that they be instructed to circulate a petition and ask those needing and wanting a fan service to advance money for the pur- pose of putting in satisfactory ser vice, the city to issue scrip for this pur- pose at 90 cts. on the dollar.
 AS the above seemed t0 be the only solution of the problem, the matter was turned over to the Water and Light committee and its members immediate ly went to work with the petition

BOND FORFEITED
lD Sesselmsn Case For Obisiniug Money U0der False Prelense.

The bond of $500 of Isaac Sessel- man for obtaining $l00 under false pretenses was forfeited in the city court to-day. Sesselman Is in the employ of Samuel Schneer of South Main street, who was his bondsman. There was some hitch about the pro ceedlngs. Sesselman engaged Ben Witkowski to be in court to inter- pret for him, and Mir Witkowski could not understand his absence, Sesselman last Saturday evening got what seemed to be $100 note from friend who lives in New York and was visiting here and Harry Johnson who runs store on Canal and Grand street cashed it for him. Mon- day morning the bank refused to &C., cept the note and later Johnson found he had received a note of cur rency issued by the confederacy, or rather there. were two notes skill fully pasted together. One note bore the date of 1862 and the other 1864. That was how the deception was dis covered. There is likelihood of the case being reopened for Schneer will not stand the loss of his $500 unless Sesselman makes good to him and Sesselman cannot make good to Schneer unless his New York friend does the same by him. The whole transaction may result in the arrest of the New York man. That will de- pend mostly on Sesselman, and if he decides to give his friend away the latter's arrest must result and then the whole transaction will be dis closed. Ten years in the state prison is likely to face the New Yorker in case he is arrested.
 Michael Dooley paid $7 in settle ment of case for intoxication.

 Berlin, Nov. 1s-All Germany is re- Joicing over the pledge given by Elm peror William that he will not here after interfere personally in foreign affairs.
 Credit for the victory won for con- stitutional government is given to Chancellor von Bulow. who forced the kaiser's surrender. It is regarded as the most notable concession made by 2 monarch in recent times and as do- ing more for the future of Germany than any revolution.
 By his complete surrender to the reichstag and the people the kaiser has averted clash with the nation that seemed fraught with prospects of disaster and caused satisfaction and joy to replace muttered threats and grave discontent in every part of the German empire.
 After conference with Chancellor von Bulow, in which the demands of the nation were put before him and the ultimatum of the chancellor to re- sign If he did not give up his personal policy in government affairs, the em- peror yielded completely.
 ''It was the bitterest hour of my iife,' Emperor William said wearily after the conference had ended
 Bluntly and almost brutally the ho told \Vill;ap, TIT tbot ho must capitulate to the demand of the Herman race people, who required of him that he would in future refrain from unwarranted meddling with the affairs of the state and practically leave the conduct of the public busi- ness of the country in the hands of his ministers and the reichstag.
 The emperor caused the following Imperial note to be made public: Needless of the exasgerations of public criticism, which are regarded by him as incorrect, his majesty perceives that his principal imperial task is to insure the stability of the policies of the empire un- der the guardianship of constitutional re- responsibilities. In conformity herewith his majesty the emperor approves the chancellor's utterances in the reichstag and assures Prince von Bulow of his con- tinued confidence.
 The conference was perhaps the most momentous of the kaisers reign. All Germany heaved a sigh of relief when it was announced that the en- peror had yielded satisfactorily and completely.
 Public opinion everywhere applauds the emperor's decision, and where twenty-four hours ago there was gen. eral revilement of him he is the object of greater esteem than at any other time in his life

ANOTHER BIG NIGHT
Elks From up the Road Made Merry
 at the Elks Fair.

From Torrington, Winsted and Thomaston there landed in Water bury last evening another big crowd of Elks and their lady friends, who came down in a special train over four hundred strong. They were met by the local Elks marching club and the Fulton American band and escorted to the Buckingham. Be- tween the time in the hall and the festivities in the Elks rooms the vis- itors were well taken care of and they embarked for home at one o'clock this morning, all more than pleased at their visit. Like all the other visitors to the fair they were loud in their praises of the Empire Women's orchestra and several of the Elks were contemplating engag- ing the ladies for an entertainment in either one of the places up the other night an engagement was made for the orchestra to go there for three nights early next month. The one remarkable feature about the orchestra is that the concert pro- gramme is different every evening. Tonight Meriden and Middletown will be the guests of the local lodge and they report that they are going to beat all the other lodges a mile as regards attendance. They will bring along their own band too. so that there will be plenty of music in the city this evening All the local Elks are expected to be at the hall early and prepare to meet the visi. tors, with red fire and other attrac- tions. The visitors will arrive here at eight o'clock.
