time for the kidnapping of Walter
lie Manas of New Orleans, boy
who was murdered when his par
ents refused to pay the kidnaper's
ransom.
What anguish tore the souls Of
these two mothers when they
heard this, none knows.
In their despair they appeal to
the office of Gov. Hadley at Jeffer-
son City. He was out of the
state, but Lieut.. Gov. Gmelich
heard their story. He offered $500
reward each for the recovery of
the children, the largest reward
the state of Missouri ever Offered
in kidnapping mystery.
Railroad conductors and others
trailed the children and Turrisi,
with a strange woman, to Chicago
on a Wabash train that left st.
Louis few hours after the Vi
viano children vanished.

her attorneys, J. @. Kinstrey and
A. Morrison, has petitioned the
supreme court for a rehearing of
the decision of June ii last,
whereby IL declared the trust
clause of the will Illegal.
Mrs. Merritt is taking this step
purely as a matter of sentiment.
BY the decision of the supreme
court her share of the estate is
largely increased, as is also that
of her brother and sister. She,
however, wants her fathers will

GIVES UP ROYAL RIGHTS
TO GET OUT OF ASYLUM

PARIS, Aug. 17.-Prince Her.
mann of Saxe-Weimar has gained
his release from the sanitorium in
which he was placed by his friends
1T the price of renouncing his
rights to the grand ducal throne,
with all claim to reign over the
famous duchy in the heart of
Germany with nearly half mill
ION of inhabitants.
This price will be paid for a
short but dazzling career in Paris,
london and Vienna. Stripped of
.lis princely titles, the young
nan, who is only twenty-three
FEARS old, will be known as Count
Won Ostheim, and the succession
passes to his younger brother,
Prince Albert of saxe-Weimar, a
'aephew of the reigning duke.
When Prince Hermann's affairs
we're at their worst he made an at
tempt to marry Princess Marie
Bonaparte, who inherited a large
part of the enormous fortune
which her grandfather Blanc
made out OF the gaming tables of
Monte Carlo. Shortly after this
refusal, he said that he had de-
cided to go to New York to find
IN heiress as soon as his affairs
were in order.
The Paris money lenders now
stats that his debts have been
paid. or arranged to be paid. SO
I is probable that the early au-
.umn will see Count Won Ostheim
en- his way to America.

captor of the little children had
taken flight to Chicago, and while
the st. Louis police vainly tried
to get the Chicago police to hunt
the children. there came a
note to the father of
Tommie.
"Give up $25.0o0." It read In
italian. cor you never shall see
the children again."
With SO hours gone before the
alarm was spread to Chicago, the
weeping mothers gave up hope.
Helpless in their grief. they only
could implore the bluecoats for
aid. Then the hunt was taken up
more eagerly and it resulted in
some astounding revelations.
The kidnaper, the police said.
was none other than Sam Turrisi,
noted as desperate character.
Turrisi, they found, was onl,
another name for Callegero Clan.

Royal Secretary's office referred to one case of litigation and considered that one secretary and treasurer'S re- port year was an item worth consid- ering.
 The Reports were both adopted. At
 noon the ladies accompanying the del- egates were introduced and thereaf- ter Chief Donald Mcintyre of Clan Mckenzie, Manchester introduced the | Mayor of the city Eugune B. Reid the visitors. The Royal Chief and Royal Secretary responded after which the Royal Clan resumed business. Ac- cording to custom the reports of the other Royal officers were adopted as | read. A resolution. was adopted that
 the same as in previous years namely
 meet at a. n., speeches be restricted to five minutes and that future ses-
 sions be conducted on the subordinate clan degree. Quite number of reso- lut1onS were read and remitted to the
 proper committees. These will be dis | cussed under reports of committees. The convention adjourned at 1 p. m | and the standing comm mmittees met and formed their various plans of work. Wednesday.-The Royal Chief call ed the convention to order at a. m. The minutes of previous session read and approved The committee on State of the order submitted a partial re-
 
 unauthorized circulars, &c.,, from one l clan to another but that this does not refer to clan business such as games picnics or entertainments. Adopted.
 The committee, recommended the ap- propriation of sufficient sum of money to be expended for missionary
 purposes This precipitated one of the
 most Interesting debates of the con vention, Dr. Macdonald putting up an earnest appeal for help from North west Canada and. William Mackenzie of Portland, Ore, Ca former Bridge porter) pleading the cause of the Pa cific Coast. Other good speakers fol- lowed all agreeing that there was need of more money for missionary work. The Royal Chief assured them work they thought they could afford to pay for. The report was adopted as a. whole. The committee on be- queathments submitted a. full report. The amendment to the constitution restricting the funeral expenses of a clansman buried by his clan, to s15O.00 was submitted and raised a good dis cussion. The committee concurred in adopting the amendment. An amend ment to the amendment making the sum $100.00 was finally adopted by the Royal Clan. Your delegate voted in the minority considering $100.00 too nleagre a sum for such a purpose A resolution from Clan Fraser, San Francisco relative to an increase of the rates was sunmari1y disposed of The matter was not pressed by the delegate owing to the strong feeling expressed against it. The report was adopted.
 Owing to the heavy rain it was de- cided to hold an afternoon sesssion but rhis was afterwards changed to suit the plans of the local elan. The Royal Clan met at 8 o'clock and immediate ly adjourned till g o'clock Thursday morning.
 Thursday.-Cal1ed to order at a. m. The committee on appeals and grievances submitted it's report. Two appeals from clansmen against sus- pension for conduct unbeconing a c1ansman were detailed in full and in one case the clansUan was reinstated as his alleged miscbnduct occurred be-

vain and foolish to give even faint description of the city of looms we l had the pleasure of visiting. One room alone had 1,064 looms in it, all 1 running. As the boys say, That was going some.''
 The only trouble we had was rain, and it was there for sure good and
 plenty. It rained necessarily from the time I left Bridgeport till well over Wednesday afternoon. But ad- verse weather seldom dampens the ar
 dor of a Scotchman, according to the
 best authorities. In the evening an almost unanimous company of the
 delegates gathered for the evening hour of assemblage. Not only that, but several delegations came from out
 side towns and from as far off as Der lin, Concord and Lawrence, especially to partake in the festivities.
 According to the program of the four days convention, an informal re-
 ception was held in Odd Fellows hall
 on Hanover street As jolly a general
 good time took place as has ever been
 held in this city. Of course there was formal program, and very enter taining one 1t was, but as a Scotch
 man knows as we'll as anyone else, a time is as good as you make it, and
 the settlers from Scotland did not for get how to enjoy themselves when they left their native land
 So much did the indictment weather
 prevail that at the morning session it
 was decided to meet for an afternoon sitting. But friend Jupiter Pluvious let up a little by o'clock and the
 ride and field day at the Films, Golf Falls. The place is peculiarly adapt
 ed by nature for picnicing and nature was admirably assisted by the com-
 mittee in charge. Athletic sports of all kinds were heartily induIged in and them a "barrel of monkeys" Liberal refresh
 ments of all kinds were served by the committee.
 In the evening an excellent, band concert was given by the City band, and in honor of the visitons five of the number were Scotch selections.
 Thursday is the busy day of the con vention, but the city arranged to give the Clansmen an exhibition hitch of their fire brigade. But they provided more than they bargained for and cer- tainly never hoped for. As one of the Manchester papers put it.:
 "One of the most sensational incl dents in the history of the Manches- ter fire department occurred at 12: 30 this afternoon, when the three-horse hitch of Engine 1 became unmanage- able, through the loss of a rein, while
 participating in an exhibition hitch for the entertainment of the visiting Scottish C1ansmen, and with their five ton engine plunged into the thick of crowd of over 5000 people who had gathered to witness the exhibition. By miracle no lives were lost, but two persons are seriously injured and are under the care of physicians, while others were bruised and trampled up- on in the panic which followed the wild break of the fire horses"
 It might be mentioned here that the writer was appointed a committee of enc to enquire into the injuries and circumstances of the old lady injured in this accident and it was on his re- port that the Clan made up the purse

 After the appointments had been read the Royal Chief made a few re- marks on the responsibility of the works of the committees and urged them to get together and get busy as soon as possible. The report of the Royal Chief which will be incorporat- ed in full in the minutes along with the reports of the other Royal officers, reviewed the work of the past five years and summed up that the order comprehensively speaking has done well. He touched briefly on new ques- tions which would come before the convention, the old age benefit
