Paris. July 6.-The engagement of Miss

been broken on The engagement was
made about three months ago when Miss

ten minutes. To The Herald's corrsspon-
dent Mrs. Robinson Dun, the young wo-
mans mother, said:
MY daughter and Mr.. Carstairs were
very devoted. but their tempers and their
temperaments did not harmonize. Break

ATLANTIC AMAZBS
Old PIER MANAGER
Bob" Watt Visits Scenes Of His
Early Failure and WAKES
Reminiscent.

Atlantic City. July &-Strollers along
the Boardwalk in the vicinity Of Massa-
chusetts Avenue recently saw a we'll
dressed man, whose prematurely gray
hair was peeping from beneath a straw
hat of the sombrero kind, Enthusiastically
woven, and with a small American flag
in his hand, walk rapidly to the entrance
to the old Iron Pier, now slangily
dubbed by some facetious ones as the
Pickle Pier" AS he arrived at the
archway over the entrance he paused
and looked searchingiy at the planking.
II don't think these were here" he re-
marked. half regretfully.
Curiosity drove the correspondent to
ask questions, when 1t developed that the
gentleman was Bob Watt. a we'll
known Snowman. who twenty-six years
ago opened the structure to the public
in the capacity Of manager. 1t was on
Saturday, June Is. 1856. The pier had
been erected to draw the people coming
to the resort uptown. II was then con-
sidered the most beautiful structure of
its kind on the Atlantic Coast.
Some Of the directors believed the pier
was going to make fortunes for them, :"
declared Mr.. Watt. but was of dir-
ferent opinion. In order to have a good
showing on the opening day / billed the
city like a circus Exactly 43 persons
took advantage OF the invitation and 1
knew then that enterprise would be
fizzie. We took in sls.75 on the Fourth
Of July and IL was not long afterward
that the pier was sold for a song.
In those days the boardwalk was
within $50 feet Of the lighthouse, and
the entrance to the pier fully 800 feet
further inland than II is to-day. Just
shows you what the ocean had done for
the owners Of property in the uptown sec
ton OF the resort, where vast fortunes
have been made in the last twenty years
of land which was made by the chang
ing of the stream"

FAMOUS MEN OF
HUMBLE PARENTAGE
Italian Writer Quotes Biographical
Sketches in Support of
His Claims.

Rome, July 6.-Onorato Roux, the we'll
known writer. maintains that the ma
Jority Of famous Italians are sprung
from humble parentage. and illustrates
this theory in collection Of biograph-
ical sketches which has just appeared.
1t is undoubtedly a fact that many OF
1talys greatest men are of absolutely
obscure lineage. The father of Pope
Plus X was a country postman. and his
fImily to this day keep a village inn.
Verdi was also connected in his youth
with a public house. Admiral Aubry is
the son of a barber, Mascagni of a
baker. the Neapolitan scientist and
philosopher Bovio of a potter, the as
tronomer Schiaparelli CT bricklayer.
The father of the great painter An
gelo was a wheelwright. Lenbach had
been a swineherd, as were also Pope
Sixtus V and Giovanni Segantini.
The philanthropist Mgr. Bonomelli was
country laborer, the founder of the
modern Italian navy, Benedetto Brin,
was the son of porter.

duced such famous artists as La Duse,

blatt, Voight is not dead. but very much
alive. He is said to have arrived at the
town of L.auscha. in the Thuringian For
est at the outset of a circus tour. in
company with troupe of itinerant glass
blowers.

trains, restaurants, and streets He said
he almost believed II himself when he
saw IL in the semi-official Cologne Ga

He thanks the Tageblatt for the impos-
ing obituary 1t published. but assures the
editor that until further notice Captain
