Narrowly Escapes Death.
Samuel Andrews of Weston miracu-
lousy escaped death Saturday when
he drove his team of horses upon the
track south of the Cannondale depot,
directly in front of the north bound
passenger train. The horses had their
front feet upon the track before the
young man saw the onrushing loco
motive which was within about 20 feet
Of his team. There was not time to
cross the tracks ahead of the train or
to back the team off from the tracks.
Mr.. Andrews swung his team along
the edge Of the bank between a post
and the track. The horses were thrown
to the ground, the rear axle was brok-
en- by coming into contact with the
post and the driver was hurled back
into the wagon uninjured. The en-
gineer had thrown on the emergency
brakes and the train passed by the
entangled horses, wagon, and driver
The team became frightened and
breaking away from the wagon dashed
down the bank, but were stopped by
bystanders.

WIDOW
LOSES IN SUIT FOR
INSURANCE POLICY
Victim Had Signed Away
His War Risk Rights
Before Sailing.

New York, March 9.-Mrs. Albert
Lloyd Hopkins, whose husband was
lost on the Lusitania, lost her suit to
recover $4,000 claimed to be due her
on life insurance policy issued by
the Connecticut General Life Insur-
ance Company, when Justice Shearn,
in the Supreme Court, decided Mon
day for the defendant.
Hopkins was president of a ship
building concern. The company re-
fused to pay the claim of his widow
on the ground that the decedent had
received the policy after first signing
the following rider, attached thereto:
In consideration of the issuance
of the policy, hereby agree for
myself, my beneficiary, our res
pective executors, administrators,
or assigns, that this policy does
not cover any loss or liability re-
sulting from bodily injuries caus-
ed directly or Indirectly by any
act of any of the belligerent ma
tons engaged in the present Eu-
ropean war.
Thayer & Van Slyke, for the plain
tiff, contended that the rider should
be disregarded because it was not
signed by an executive officer of the
defendant and had not been filed with
and approved by the superintendent
of the State of New York, and be-
cause the typewriter rider was not
printed in bold-faced type and with
greater prominence than any other
part of the text of the policy.
AS to the first contention, Justice
Shearn held that there was no reason
why the defendant should have sign
ed the rider at all. AS to the second,
the Court ruled that failure to file did
not invalidate the express agreement
OF the insured. AS to the third, JUS
tice Shearn held that the laws pro-
vision for printing in bo1d-faced
type" bore relationship to qualifying
causes in the body of the policy only.
s"This war rider said Justice
Shearn, in rendering his decision,
''was given great prominence. 1t was
separately signed by the insured, a
business man, and president of a
great shipbuf1ding company, and it is
unreasonable to presume that he did
not read the rider that he signed

A ROYAL ROMANCE

This is the sixty-eighth anniver-
sary of the birth of Princess Fred
erica Of Hanover, the daughter of
George ", the last monarch of Han
over, whose kingdom was annexed by
Prussia half a century ago. Her
brother, Ernest, who holds the Eng
Iish titles of Duke of Cumberland
and Teviotdale, Earl of Armagh, and
Prince of the United Kingdom, long
maintained his claims to the Han
overian crown, and his bitter feud
with the Kaiser continued until 1918,
when a reconciliation was effected as
the result of the betrothal of the
Kaiser's only daughter to the Dukes
son, Prince Ernest, Duke of Hanover.
The Duke of Cumberland, who has
long resided in Austria and is an Of
Nficer of Francis Joseph's army, mar
ried the Princess Tyra of Denmark,
sister of Queen Alexandra of Great
Britain, Empress Dagmar of Russia
and King George of Greece. While
the Duke has thus become allied by
marriage with the greatest royal fam
lilies of Europe, his sister, Princess
Frederick, made a love match. Fred
erica was eighteen when her father
was robbed of his kingdom by Prus-
sia She accompanied her e2iled
father to Paris, where she became a
favorite because of her beauty and
spirit. The Due d. Aumale and many
other courted her, but she refused
them all. After the death of her
father in 1873, Frederick accepted the
invitation of Queen Victoria to take
up her residence in England. The
Queen, it was said, hoped to bring
about a marriage between Frederick
and Prince Leopold, her youngest son.
Frederick was heroine among the
Hanoverian or Guelph partisans in
Hanover, and they hoped that such
a marriage might result in the restor-
ton of the kingdom. Frederick did
not care for Leopold, however, and
she soon fell in love with Baron Al
fons Won Pawel-Rammingen, who had
been an adjutant to her father AL
though disappointed, Queen Victoria
gave her consent to the marriage OF
the princess to the man of her choice,
and the two were made one in Wind
sor Castle on an April day in 1880.
Frederica's marriage to mere baron
created a storm in Hanover, and for
many years she and her non-royal
husband were decidedly unpopular
among the 1oyalist Hanoverians-
Eventually she was forgiven by her
mother and brother, and, SO far as
the world knows, the princess and
her humble husband lived happy
ever after"

Women Spend More
Coin Than Men and
Should Save More

London, March 9.-women usually
spend more money than men and
therefore have much greater oppor-
tunities for retrenchment than men,

by the government and its supporters
now being renewed throughout Eng
land.

point to the recent statement Of a
great English economist, who decried
