RECALLING A SUPERSTITION.


Superstitipus folk are aItributing
the tragic death of Prince George of
Cumberland to the far-reaching eff
fects of a curse. His great-grand-
father had a Swiss valet who in 1910
was found dead under suspicious cir
cumstances. and many people sus.
pected his master of numbering him.
Mme. Sells, the valets mother, was
so convinced that this was the case
that she journeyed from Switzerland
to London, confronted the Duke of
Cumberland, and cursed him aud his
children 10 the fourth generation.
Nine years later the dukes only son
came into the world stone blind. His
son, in turn, the present duke, is at
flicted with a facial deformity. Aud
now Prince George has been killed
shortly after making a marvellous re-
covery from an illness which had
crippled him for years. = Buffalo
