p. M. Flremen Get Boost.

Firemen employed on the Pere Mar
quette railway have every reason to
be happy this Christmas because the
company announced today a substan-
tial raise in pay for them. Coming
when the price of foodstuffs is so high
and the general cost of living so
great, the boost in salary is as well
come as the flowers in MAY. This
was pay day in the local branch of
the division and the boys who got
their raise in pay were naturally
elated when handed their monthly
checks. The raise in pay is said to
be general all over the Pere Mar

Poor othcials Mot Rusx.

There is but little for the county
superintendent of the poor to do at
present, according to the statements
made by several delegates to the
state convention, in session at Flint.
There are several reasons given for
this condition, but the consensus of
opinion seems to be that the general
prosperity of the country and the re-
sultant abundance of work are the
main factors. The wet" and dry
condition of the various counties are
not mentioned as important causes
for the absence of suffering.

KING LEOPOLD DIES
AFTER OPERATION
PASSING OF LEOPOLD II. RE,
vEALs MARRIAGE TO NoToRl-
Gus FAVORITE IN ITALY.
KINGS GOLD is MISSING.
LeopoId's Vanished Millions Puzzle
the Nation, But Princesses, Cut
of With only 100000 Apiece,
Accuse the Kings Favorite.

With the death of King Leopold Of
Belgium Friday morning it became
officially known for the first time that
the monarch a year ago secretly mar
ried Baroness Vaughan, the scrub
woman's daughter, with whom his
name had been connected in series
of scandals.
The marriage took place at San
Reno, Italy, and has just received the
sanction of the pope. 1t is believed, as
the result of the dying statement OF
the monarch.
Leopold first met the baroness at
Ostend. Following her acquaintance
with the king she was the mother OF
two children, Lucien, the duke OF
Tervkeren, now aged years, who
was born at Villefranche, and Phil
lippe, count of Ravenstein, who was
born at Balincourt three years ago.
Tolling bells and booming cannon
announced the death of King Leopold.
Half-masted flags of red, yellow and
black fly from the public buildings.
All Belgium is puzzled over the
mysterious disappearance of the inn
mense fortune of King Leopold, the
dead ruler of Belgium. In his will
the monarch declares he possessed
only 100000, which he left to his
three daughters. This sum is known
for q fact TO be tremendously below
the mark. For years King Leopold
has been drawing an income of &c.
000,0 yearly from his Congo invest
ment In addition he owned vast
landed estates in France. England
and other European countries. The
king had keen business instincts and
was known as a shrewd investor. On
a conservative estimate he must have
possessed close upon $S0.000,O0O be-
fore his death.
The view generally accepted is that
the king, after his secret marriage
with the baroness at San Reno
Italy, made a private will enriching
his favorite and her children, Lucien
aged 5, upon whom he conferred the
title of duke OF Tevokeren. and Phil.
ippe. aged 3. who bears the title OF
count of Ravenstein.
King Leopold in his will expressed
the desire that no autopsy be per
formed and said that apart from my
nephew, Prince Albert, and the mem
bers OF my household. | forbid any
one to attend my funeral. My papers
shall be destroyed or handed to
Prince Albert"
An intimate friend of Prince AL
bert. the new Belgian king, told the
Mathis Brussels correspondent that
the new kings ambition would be tc
be useful to the workingman. He is
in the good sense of the word, a So
cialist. He is a deep student on so
cial questions and will astonish the
world, according to the correspon'
dent, with modern tolerance. Albert
will be king of a republican mon

of play will be resumed tonight at
Berry's Hoffman parlors, beginning at

games remain to be played, and unless
there is q tie up for the prize positions
the tournament probably will end one

Those who attend the tournament
games will find more interest in these
closing battles with the cues than in

usually attend, and those who saw the
great game between Voorhies and

no urging to attend the final contests
of skill and generalship. Voorhies
played his best game Of the tournament
against the leader, and only until
Howard ran out his string with three
