New York, Dec. 8.Prince Otto of Windisch-Graetz, his youthful and im mensely wealthy wife, the Princess Elizabeth Marie, whom he married only a year ago, and a pretty actress of the opera at Prague are the central figures in an extraordinary story ca bled from Vienna to the World. The princess, who is the grand daughter on her father's side of the emperor of Austria and on her moth er's side of the king of the Belgians, oniy twenty years old, a royal person age who renounced her rights to the throne of Austria in order to marry as her heart dictated, is asserted to have shot and seriously wounded a hand some actress with whom the prince is alleged to have had a rendezvous. The affair is said to have taken place in the palace of the estate of the prince's family at Prague. It appears that Prince Otto had been secretly paying attention to the ac tress, whose beauty had been causing a sensation in Prague. The princess, presumably informed by a disappoint ed suitor of the footlight favorite that a rendezvous had been arranged in the palace, was thrown into a passion and hurried to the prince's apartments with a small revolver he had given her. A valet stood at the door and refused her admittance. She drew the revolver and fired, it is stated. The valet fled, screaming at the top of his voice. Entering the rooms the prin cess confronted her husband, who at tempted to hold her arm, but she is then said to have been at the height of rage and to have fired point blank at the actress, who cowered in a cor ner. The woman fell, severely, but not fatally wounded. WARRANTS FOR BROKERS. Violations of A/Iinnesota Warehouse Laws Are Alleged.

Ah! what may not a mother list Whose cares aTe tended to the mist That rises out of shadow land Made glad by the angelic band? Their voices come on wings of air To greet her, patient, waiting there, Enrapt with this morocco shoe A-gap where baby's toes peeped through. There comes no sweetness like the song Of love's Invisibles, who throng The sacred cloisters of the heart, Unknown to all the world apart. So, I may list the whispers soft, Waft to me from the throne aloft Ah, only heard by me, the while My mind recalls the baby's smile. Horace Seymour Keller. W HY HE HAD NOT MARRIED. Too Many Risks Were Involved in the Transaction. Capt. Risk of the Mallory line steamer Denver, plying between New York and Galveston, Texas, is a bach elor who attaches a great deal of im portance to the question, "What's in a name?" when applied to the matri monial question. On one recent trip a party of passengers were discussing matrimony when the captain strolled up. "By the way, captain," said one of the party, "how does it happen you've never married?" "Oh, he could never find a woman willing to run the Risk," interjected one of the feminine members of the group. "No, indeed," observed the mariner "no one can run this Risk I'm cap tain. And no one seems to want to take the risk, either," he added. New York Times. Hair of All Shades. No one has visited Fiji in the past without being astonished at the fear ful and wonderful styles of- hairdress- ing. They are geometrical, monu mental, pyramidal and trapezoidal. An additional factor in this production of the grotesque is that the hair varies in color as lime varies in bleaching power, or as the juice of the mangrove in coloring matter. Between black and white the colors run through the blue-black and all the shades of red and yellow. Often half the hair is red and the other half white, giving a kind of piebald effect. Two Kinds of Jacks. The wife of a Chestnut street mer i chant, who lives in West Philadelphia, is very fond of roses, especially of the I brilliant varieties. By way of re minder, she said to the husband the other morning, before he started for business: "I see, my dear, that Jacks are becoming cheaper," "That may be true," said the husband, absently I "but I have known men who would have been willing to pay $100 for one 1 to put with the two already in their i hand." ._ Tennessee Mountain Preachers. The oratorical gift of the preachers of mountain regions of Tennessee is much admired by their simple parish ioners, if somewhat too florid for se verer tastes. Residents of that part of the country relate many anecdotes of their eloquence, as well as their ab surd interpretations of Scripture. It is the hight of every boy's ambition to be a preacher, although it is an affec tation among the horny-handed por tion of the population to pretend to despise those who do not engage in manual labor. Why Chinese Ride Women's Bicycles. The first bicycle dealers who tried to sell wheels to the Chinese were sur prised to find that there was a big and ready demand for women's wheels, but practically none for men's wheels. Yet none of the bicycle drum mers could report having seen many women, if any, riding the \nachines. The mystery was explained finally when it was learned that the Chinese man preferred the women's wheels be cause the skirts that form part of their costumes made it difficult to straddle the diamond frame of the men's wheels. Good Story Cut Short. Chauncey M. Depew was recently telling a good story with great gusto when a girl in the party laughed. He stopped with a frown. "What's the I matter?" he asked. "It is one of the last stages," said the girl. "You are telling me a story of my own that I I told you only half an hour ago." Whereupon Senator Depew, suddenly and ominously quiet, walked to the ex treme rear for the first time in his life and took a scat there.New York Times. Few Attend Prayer Meeting. A notable result of the recent cen sus of church attendance in London is the discovery that prayer-meetings, which were once regarded as the vital breath of life of the church, have al most ceased to exist. In the populous borough of Chelsea, only thirty per sons were found to be in attendance at prayer-meetings. Thirty persons out of seventy thousand. Week-night services have also fallen into disuse. Hiccoughed for Ninety-six Hours. A youth of seventeen, residing at Reading, Pa., recently left ar orphan home where he had heen accustomed to always eat the same kind of food. The change of diet in the boarding house to which he went brought on a fit of hiccoughing which lasted for ninety-six hours. During that period food had to be given artificially, and be lost weight considerably. O ne Cent A. Word. HELP WANTED. WANTED- hotel. WANTEDGirls to learn to set type. Good wages.
