lapse of Daniel Blake Russell, claimant
for part of 100000 estate on the stand
and the weeping of the men and
women who composed the vast throng of
spectators in the East Cambridge pro-,
bate court caused Judge Lawton to call
a recess while the entire assemblage
tried to overcome the display of emotion
which had interrupted the court pro
ceedings.
A small object was handed to the wit
ness. AS the witness grasped it lie
again collapsed and after an interval Of
five minutes he said:
This is my mothers hair It was
sent to me in an envelope. 1t was ac-
companied by a little piece of paper on

AS the witness uttered the word
"mother" he was again overcome and
another pause i'll the proceedings was
necessitated.
The witness said that aside from the
two letters which he wrote TO his broth
er from the hospital in Dickinson and
the one from Minneapolis after his dis
charge from the hospital, he had written
another letter to William e.. Russell
from Milwaukee in 1883 while he was i'll

The Match-Makers and Miss Gould

Prince Alexander Romanovick, eldest
son of the Duke of Leuchtenburg and
cousin of the Gar of all the Russias, IS
killing time in Paris until February,
when he hopes Mrs. George Gould will
come to Europe to complete arrange
mentS for the announcement of his be-
trothal to her daughter, Marjorie. Per-
sonally the prince is very popular in
Paris. He is a handsome soldierlv man.
with frank, democratic manners. de
has an income of 100000 a year. which
frees him from the suspicion of being a
fortune hunter. Even aside from his
title and position the prince is deemed
one of the best matches in Europe. 1t
is said that the Cars consent had been
practically obtained and that Mrs. Gould
would be accepted at court and granted
q complimentary title.
Princess de Sagan, formerly Anna
Gould, is said to be doing her utmost to
bring about 4 match between her niece,
Marjorie, and the Duke of Berwick, of
England, better known as the Duke d
Alba, and whose Eatronymic, Stuart
Fitzjames, perpetuateS the royal origin
of his house. The princess approves of the
proposed alliance, realizing what SPLEEN
did social position it would give her
niece, making her cousin of the ex-em-
press of the French, Eugenia (who is re-
lated to the family through another mar
riage), and establishing her in the very
best and most exclusive English society.

Tillinghast, the Worcester Mass man
ufacturer who claims to have invented a
two-mile- minute aeroplane in which he
had made 100 trips, one to New York
City and return, is said to have gone
out in his machine Sunday night to q
point in Maine. He practically asserted
Monday night that the airship seen short
ly after 1 o'clock Monday morning by
Arthur Hoe of the United States immi-
grafton service was his aeroplane home
ward bound across Boston harbor.
Hoe said the airship he saw was trav-
cling at too high an altitude for him to
give detailed description of the craft,
but that he gazed upward long and hard
enough to be certain that the object he
saw in the sky was really a wonderful
airship and that it WAS moving at a re-
markable rate of speed.
