Memory Of Wife,
Princes Chimay, Gives
Rigo His Health Again

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-The doctors
all said, "Rigo cannot pull through.
He has lived too long in cafes.
Pneumonia is always fatal for such
patients"
"I-reefuse -to-die!" moaned the
Magyar violinist. fighting for every
breath. "I-liye-for-love."
And, in the face of all predic-
tions, he remains alive, will, recover
completely and be back soon in Bo-
hernia, playing wild airs on his
precious violin.
Janczi Rigo insists that his wife's
love and his overmastering love
for her, brought him back to the
land of the living.
Rigo should know what love is.
He eloped with Belgian princess
who fell under the spell of his pas
sionate playing in a Budapest cafe
years ago. She deserted her noble
husband and entered the reckless
half-world inhabited by Rigc. Where
she is and who she is now, nobody
knows or cares.
Fifteen years ago in Paris the
Princess de Chimay, a noted beauty,
daughter Of a Detroit vessel owner,
abandoned her husband to join
hands with Rigo. She was di-
vorced, married her mad fiddler
and died in the shadows of scan
dal. AS a token of his love for
this princess, Rigo had her por-
trait tatooed on his left arm The
picture remains, and is actually a
vivid likeness. Ill return, the prin-
cess changed from a glorious
blonde to chemical brunette to
satisfy a whfm of her love7!

plant was captured by group of
armed men. Part of them held the
editorial staff at the point of re-

linotypes and presses.
The raid was supposed to have
been engineered by radical labor
elements, possibly working in con-
junction with Sim Feiners. None of
the raiders were captured, although
hundreds of persons, including po-
lice were in the vicinity of the
building. Apparently nobody outside
the building knew what was going
on until the attacking party had
completed it's work of destruction
and scattered.
Many of the, raiders were un-

to gather, enter the building and
hold it half an hour without at

a mystery.

classical case of this kind was In 1876 when a
popular plurality Of a quarter OF million was
counted for Tlden though, as matter OF fac,
the southern republicans dubbed away from

May not emergencies develop at any time in
which the electoral college would have a very
important part to play? In the year 1872, when
he was presidential candidate, Horace Gree

had been chosen for him had to cast their votes
for someone else. Most of them voted for
Thomas A. Hendricks, a statesman of ability
well entitled to their support. The death of a
candidate at a critical time, or of both the can

two ex-presidents John Adams and Thomas
