GAVE UP RICHES FOR LOVE
German Prince Sacrificed Career and,
Estates for the Sake Of the
Woman He Loved. /

It was with proud spirit of self
sacrifice that Prince Eberwyn zu Ben
theim-Steinfurt, cousin of the queen
of Holland, gave his hand short time
ago in the London registry office to
Fraulein Lanfenfeld, the daughter Of
tradesman who had begun life as q
peasant. The German emperor him
self had in vain tried to dissuade him
from such mad step" He turned
deaf ear to all the threats and en-
treaties Of his family. and formally re-
nounced his heirship to $1,250,000 a
year to his younger brother. Prince
Victor. And when he had thus con-
demned himself to poverty and OBJ
scurity, he declared, I need not say
that am more than happy. AS long
as live. shall rejoice that had the
firmness to place my happiness and
that of my bride above the medieval
prejudices Of my house."
When Prince Eberwyn was thus
gladly sacrificing rank and riches for
love, Count Hans Won Hochberg. heir
to the Duchy Of Rohnstock, was stand
ing at an altar in New York state
with Fraulein Louise Carow, a German
shop girl. for whose sake he had aban-
doned his claim to the family estate
and dignities. Il am going to earn my
living as chauffeur" this young
hero of romance said; "and know
that shall be happier sharing poor
home with the woman love than il
were Duke Of Rohnstock with $780,
900 a year but without her."
Such romances of today could be
multiplied almost indehnitely-from
the love adventures of the Archduke
Leopold Of Austria to the nephew Of
the emperor who was content to be a
royal outcast for the sake of Fraulein
Ritter, farmers daughter and domestic
servant, to the Prince de Broglie, who
not long ago was conducting an or
chestra in a New York theater. while
the wife for whom he had sacrificed
everything but happiness-the great
est thing Of all-was singing on the
stage.

Court Doctor to Pharaoh.

Surgery is necessarily one of the
most ancient Of the sciences. Archie
ologists have for instance just dis
covered records Of surgeon who
lived during the fifth Egyptian dynas-
ty. and must have been court doctor
to the Pharoah Sahura, some 1000
years before Christ. The first surgi-
cal implements of which anything Is
known are splints found in the Nu-
bian desert. In one place q grave
yard was found, and here were re-
mains of bodies with fractured limbs
that had been set with bark splints.
One was right thigh-bone that had
been broken. and was still held In po-
sition by workmanlike splint and
bandages. All the knots were true
reef-knots, and the wrapping showed
how the strips Of palm-fiber cloth
were set just as good surgeon would
set them nowadays, SO as to use the
full strength Of the fabric. In other
cases bodies were found with COM
pound fractures, where the broken
ends Of the bone had broken through
the skin.

Hello! We are the greatest tele-

HISTORIC SPOT IS UNMARKED
Location Of Nations First White
House, In Philadelphia, Known,
but That 10 All.

Excepting for a few months. Wash
ington lived In Philadelphia during
his entire administrations as presi-
dent of the United States, and John
Adams did likewise during his term.
There was no White House, but a
brick house. and, as quite generally
known, it stood on the south side of
Market street between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The house itself long
since disappeared. and it seems
strange that Philadelphia has never
taken the trouble to make in suit
able way the spot where the nations 8
executive mansion stood when occcu-
pied by the Father of His Country.
When Washington came to Phila-
delphia to attend the continental con-
gress before taking command of the
army, he lived in the swellest board
ing house in the city. 1t was kept by
Mrs. Triste, at the southwest corner
Of Fifth and Market streets. But
while more fashionable, the house has
been far less famous than the hore
modest one, two blocks farther west,
at the southwest corner Of Seventh
and Market streets. 1t was in the lat
ter that Jefferson boarded, and on
the second floor. corner room. in
which he wrote the Declaration of In
dependence.
According to John Adams. who
could have qualified as chief gossip
at any quilting party. Philadelphia
was then away ahead Of Boston and
New York as fashionable center.
The great patriot told his impressions
in those voluminous letters to his
wife. He was quite awed by the 10
cal splendor.-Philadelp Ledger.

LEASES BEING TAKEN

following we'll known mines, to be op

The Shanks tunnel in Nevada gulcf
the Howard on North Clear Greek.
the Mitchell on Quartz hill, the De-
Vernan tunnel in Nevada gulch, the
Mammoth lode in Packard gulch and
the Lake tunnel in Virginia canyon.
The last named is an extension OF
the Searle, Addudle and Frontenac
mines. Schaeffer and company, OF
Idaho Springs, are the lucky leasers
of this property. Some 5000 feet OF
the vein is available for mine opera
tbons. A number of other leases are

the outlook for a largely increased
tonnage in the county the best for
years. Many mining properties that
have been held solely for a sale for
years are now In the hands of men
who will work them fer all they are
worth. The few pess!mists remaining

around and realize what their neigh

Washington Man Inventor

B. ]. Patrick, of Spokane has in
vented a new type of automobile, one
in which the power and the steering
apparatus are applied to all four wheels.
It is called by him the four-wheel-
drive auto. The inventor claims that
the new system will enable the car to
pillow through sand, mud or snow that
would stall any other car, and that it
will make possible turning in one-third
less space than that required by car
steered by the front wheels. Aside
from the four-wheel-drive and steering
features, the inventor claims actual
three-point suspension, allowing one
wheel OF the car to be raised or low
cred to the extent of 10 inches without
wrenching the frame. Brakes are ap-
piled to all four wheels, and there is an
arrangement permitting automatic ap-
plication Of power to any one of the
wheels.
