BRIDE OF AN AUSTRIAN PRINCE
Popular Washington Belle Is the Lat.
est to Figure In an Interna-
tional Romance.

The latest international romance at
Washington, which eliminated recent
ly by the marriage of Miss Catherine
Britton of that city to Prince Alfred
zu e-Schillingfuerst of the
Austro-Hungarian embassy, has had
sufficient element of mystery to de-
light capital gosslps. From no less q
source than the august imperial head
of the united kingdoms, 1t appears,
came the opposition to the marriage
of the young prince, bearer of one of
the proudest names of the Viennese
court, to the American girl who was
mot born" The recent death of
Francis Joseph, and the accession to
the throne of the young archduke, who
had not so very long ago made love
match himself, changed the tide of for
tune for the young pair In America.
The prince is twenty-seyen and his
bride Is twenty-four. Immediately
upon his arrival In Washington a year
or two ago he began to pay her atten-
tion. There were rumors of a mar
riage, then the young prince was sud-
denly detached from the embassy at
Washington and assigned to San Fran
cisco for the compilation of n consular
report there. There was reason, and
this was said to be imperial dlspleas-
ure at Vienna. The new American
princess shortly after the outbreak of
the war went to Paris as war nurse

the secretary of the treasury. She

AFTER MANY YEARS OF WORK
Commission Finally Publishes Its
Findings, and, as Usual, the Tax
payers Foot the Bill.

A dog once bit boys leg, so the
latter's father promptly sued the own
er of the animal. After much wrang-
ling the case was submitted to an in
dependent inquiry committee, which
many years after gave their decision
as follows:
1--WE find the dog partly responsible
for the bite-not the owner, whom we
have established has no cannibalistic
tendencies. Considering the independ-
ent action of the animal which point
ed to bones in the vicinity, it Is to be
regretted that the canine intelligence
did not consider the portion of leg
between it and the said bones.
1.-THE boy is not guilty of negligence
in getting in the dogs way, and we
should compensate him, only he is now
Il man, and it was a boy who was bit
ten. Likewise he has forgotten which
leg suffered
1--WE are inclined to censure the dog
for careless discrimination, but 1t is
dead, so we unanimously conclude no
one is guilty, except the taxpayers,
who, having derived considerable en-
tertainment from the proceedings,
must now pay the cost thereof. =

After all, it is not surprising that

live them over in his hours of play.
If the ideals of piracy are essential
to the moral training of the young,
some day another popular play may
help to safeguard the future welfare
of the race.
