One would think that when cy-
clone walks off with gas plant, as
was the case at Milton last month,
there would be an end to any discus

ity. Such is not the case at Milton,
however. Last week the officers of
the gas company were restrained by an
injunction, issued by E. C. MCGOWAN,
preventing the sale of the same, there
by depriving the consumers of any light
until the court decides the question.

The remains were accompanied here
from Florida by a nephew, Dwight
Stillman, from whom was learned the
particulars. of his sudden and rather
unexpected death. 1t appears that
though crippled by long standing rheu-
matism, his condition was not consid-
cred alarming and he was assisted to
bed the night of his death and later
when they went to his room to see if
anything was needed it was found that
his life spark had fed. A physician
was called who attributed the cause to
heart disease.
The only near surviving relatives of
the deceased are three nephews, II. Y,
Dwight R. and Fred Stillman of Day

Albanans who have to work are usually
shepherds. Some make a living by taking
care of the property of foreigners who have
come to Albania
Perhaps the strongest natural trait of the
Albanians Is the way they treat their women.
Half of them are MOhammedans' and keep
their wives carefully locked up. The other
half are Christians and keep a very careful
eye on their wives. Any serious infringe
:uent of the moral law by a wife is usually
punished with death.
In case of slight skittishness on the part
Of the wife, the Albanian husband, if in
good humOr. may content himself with cut
ting off her nose and ears. Albania evidently
is no place for a woman who values her
liberty or wants her rights
How would Lane de Pougy the former
French adventures of Paris, be received in
a community where they entertain such bar
barous notions? Not very well, one would
think Perhaps she imagnes the benighted
Albanians know nothing Of the history of
Partisan stars.
How would Miss Hazel Singer, the Ameri-
can heiress, accustom herself to the man
ners of such savage land? She comes from
a country where women are honored as
queens and treated more ndulgently than
anywhere else in the world Surely she
would find it hard to become used to the
Albanian code. But, of course a crown
would make up for a good many shortcom-
ings.
The task of ruling over the Albanians
would be a picturesque if difficult one The
men are better than circus riders to look at
The national costume Of the Albanian con-
sists of cotton shirt, white woollen kilt,
which reaches to the knees, a jacket a sash
around the waist, in which pistols and a long
curved knife called 'yataghan" are carried,
colored leggings, sandals and a red cap,
around which they twist q shawl or scarf.
The chiefs and wealthy Albanians usually
wear Jacket and vest of velvet, richly en-
broidered with gold, and metal greaves over
their leggings, which are usually made OF
fine scarlet cloth.
The commentator adds the remark that
they seldom change their clothes"
The dress of the women is fantastic A
singular custom prevails among the girls of
stringing together the pieces of money which
they have collected for their portions and
wearing them upon their heads Some others
have them hanging down in braids to a
great length, loaded with this species of or
nament
The Albanians have their good qualities
If you are stranger to them they are likely
to shoot or rob you, but when once you have
broken bread with them they will do any,
thing for you.
If one Of the three Ghikas or the fat boy
wins the throne. he can look forward to an
exciting life in Albania

ing from a country which cannot have any
designs of taking territory in Albania His
uncle, George, was chosen King of Greece for
a similar reason. He is twenty-six years old
and unmarried.
Now, as to the Ghikas. Prince Jean Ghika
married Miss Hazel Singer, daughter of
Charles J. Singer, Of Chicago, and membe'
Of the Singer sewing machine family, many
Of whom have married into the French aris-
toCracy. The Singers, of course have many
millions 1t is understood that the former
Miss Singer would enjoy the sensation OF
being a regular royal queen, and is spending
her millions freely for that purpose
Prince Jean has had an interesting career,
Before he married Miss Singer he had
financed q comic opera company OF which
Miss Della Rogers, Of Denver, was the star.
Then there is Ghika No. .. He is Prince
George Ghika. Three years ago the Prince. In
a thoughtless moment, married Mademoisele
Lame de Pougy, who had been familiar
figure TO the boulevardiers of Paris for many
years Mademoiselle Lame has appeared at
the Foes Bergere and done all sorts Of
things that a princess is not expected to do
Just before her husband was talked of as
an occupant of the Albanian throne the
81 Princess Liaue had made series of clever
sketches representing the Turks, Bulgarians,
Albanians and other participants in the
present war A few of these, which are fit
for publication, are enclosed herewith.
The sketches are not at all natterlng TO
the Abanians. The rival claimants to the
throne have bought up a large number Of
copies of a Paris newspaper that printed
them and are distributing them industriously
in Albania, with damaging effect upon
Lanes chance Of getting crown.
And then there is Ghika No g. His full
name is Prince Alexander Ghika. He has
stolen march the others, for he is
already at the scene of the Balkan war and
is at this moment engaged in stirring up
enthusiasm for his cause among the Alban-
ians.
Prince Alexander Ghika married an Irish
woman, Miss Margaret Bowling, a cousin of
the Marquis Of Lansdowne and an heress OF
considerable wealth According 10 society
gossip he spent all her money, and it Is GER.
tain that she opened a fancy store in Paris,
where she sold specimens of the ueedlework
of Rumanians and other women of South
eastern Europe
Now that her husband is in the race for
throne however. she is willing to stand by
him Loyalty.
Now it is interesting to remember what
sort Of people the Albanians are, Most Of
them live in the mountains Their houses
are hard to reach, but very convenient places
from which to shoot the passerby favorite
occupation Of the Albanians Is brigandage
but business has not been so good in recent
years as it used 10 be.

Paris, December 10.
THE funniest contest for throne that
was ever carried on is unquestionably
that which is now raging over the
newly created state of Albania,
To say that it is like a comic opera OF
The Merry Widow" type is inadequate, for
1t is really much funnier.
Mixed up in the fight are three Ghikas,
great Chicago heiress, a former Partisan ad-
venturess and the royal tat boy of Europe
Each one has something nasty to say about
tine other. The Chicago heiress throws her
past at the Partisan adventures. The adj
venturess retorts with a sheer about Pork
1polis All of them rdcule the fat boy, but
1o complacently points to the fact that the
dohammedans, of whom there are many in
Albania admire fat.
The throne of Albania is somewhat nebu-
ious at present Albania is a country hither-
10 nominally belonging to Turkey and lying
North Of Greece. 1t has been bone of CON
-entton during the present Balkan war. 1t Is
.8944 square miles in extent and has about
100000 inhabitants, who are very fond OF
rife shooting and equally handy with long
curved knife
The Seryians and Greeks proposed to d.
zoe Albania up between them, but the Al
Danians, not to mention the Austrians OBJ

inhabitants of Albania are nearly equally
divided between the Mohammedan and Chris
ian religions.
But state set up under the guidance OF
austria and Russia, cannot be republic.
That would be setting a bad example. AL
oania will, therefore. have to pick king
OF prince from the ranks of the minor prince
lets. Someone who would like the notoriety
and doesn't mind the danger.
Prominent among the candidates are
Prince Jean Ghika, Prince George Ghika and
Prince Alexander Ghika. They are all cou-
SINS and belong to a family which is now
domiciled in Rumania, although in ancient
umes, when Albania was an independent
state the Ghikas lived in that country.

FAiRMoNT END OF
THE THIRD DIVISION.

Fairmont is again the end of the
Third division OF the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. This city is the west.
ern termina and Cumberland is the
eastern terminal OF this division.
This means that there will be from
enc hundred and fifty to two hundred
men stay in Fairmont than have for
some time. 1t was some time ago
that the company changed the west
eFR terminal OF the division from Fair.
mont to Grafton. Yesterday the
charge was effected and now the dIyi.
sion is as It was formerly.
Thel change makes Fairmont very
much more OF d railroad city. Many
Of the men that are on the Third d.
vision are married men aud some OF
these will move to this city SO that
they may have their home at one end
of the division.
