tha announcement of
Fmator Elkina that there waa no en
gagement between til* daughter and
the Duka of tha Abruzzl. American
itawsfatherers persisted In hurrying
forward tha tnarrlaca. They unearthed
the dreasmaker who had fitted the

Hut now It appears from a cable
dispatch that tha match 1» definitely
off, tie Duka having been unable to
remote Insuperable obstacles to tha
union. It Is stated that tha royal
family In Italy will not grant tha
demands made by the Elkina family,

Elkin* tha position at the Italian court
which his wife should have. The

•Thus there re mains of this unpleaa-

ory of tha Indecent acrobatic behavior

The yellow taction of tha American
prase deserves this rap, but tha epi
sode can be called "unpleasant" only
from tha standpoint of those whose
privacy haa been Invaded. If the

for the Hqoth no less than the North.
Five days before the knightly ‘Lee
had accepted defeat at Appomattox
ar.d called off further and useless
blood«h"J In the effort to sustain the
falling fortunes of the Southern Con
federacy. President Jefferson Davis
was In rjifirlotto (they have marked
th** spot on which he stood when he
roerived tho fateful new* of the as-
elimination of hla great antagonist)
on hlg flight to the flouth which he
ended as a prisoner In Mscon.
It may well !>e conceived that there
was no rejoicing In any Intelligent
Kou^icm mind when the act of the
mad boy*a misdirected hand struck
the lion of the North, whose
latest epokrn words bore the burden
mngnonlmlty to the
South, and left us to the merry of tJic
Jackals whose vHous nature it Is to
prey upon the fallen.
In the light of the fact that since
the murder of Lincoln, rolling down
the curtain upon the great War Re-
tween the (Rates In a truly tragic
manner, no lass than two Presidents
hava fallen at tha hands of aasaastna
whose weak bratna ware erased tn
times of pesos by the strain of merely
civic conditions. It Is perhaps less to
he wondered at that the erased hraln
of an actor, fired by the mock hero-
lea. of the ataga rather than by genu
inely patriotic Impulse, should have
precipitated this poignant misfortune
upon the people of both sections at
the and of a war which shook tha
world.
A writer In McClure's Magastna for
December, E. R. flhaw, gives tha
“hitherto unpublished account of an
assassination,
Capt. Oliver Catch, who breaks tha
silence of ovsr forty years and "gives
tha most complete narrative of any
peraon connected with the events of
that night." Capt. (latch was on his
way to hla home tn Ohio from Macon,
where he had been a prisoner, and
stopped tn Washington to report to
Secretary of War Blanton. He learned
that President Lincoln was to spend
tha evsnlng at Ford's theater and he
decided to go too In order to see the
President. I .aura Keene, at the sc-
nlth of her fame, was playing Tom
Taylor's comedy. “Our American
Cousin," with the support of Joseph
Jsffsraoo and th* elder Botham, two
young actors who were winning their
spurs and the latter of whom evolved
the great success of his life from the
minor role which Lord Dundrearry
originally constituted In this plsy.

“Then the crowd went mad. A

Francisco Call, commenting on the at
tempted assassination of Prosecutor
Haney.
The Call enuiparats* several San
Francisco papers, with Hearst'a Ex
aminer at their head, whose ani
mosity to Heney and the graft pros*
ecutors generally led to the shooting
of Heney by Haas. The Call §aya:
‘These newspapers and auch at
these did for Haas what Hearat’a
papers did for Cxolgosg. They
made him see In Heney one vfhosa

the community not numerous but

the attempted assassination that Ita
office was surrounded and protected

The Cell goes on to describe the Kx-i

believed capable of “Inflaming** weak
minds to murder. Th# Call , says:
“Duylng April, May and June tha
Mutt pictures depicted Heney ln

Qovamor-Elect Brown and 'Biennial
Bestions.
Marietta Journal.
It Is stated by some of those In the
confidence of Governor-elect Brown
that In hla first message to the legis
lature ha will take a strong position
In favor of biennial sessions of that
body. If ha docs, a great Impetus will
be given to a reform, saya the Savan
nah Morning News. It 1s even prob-
abU that the legislature would con
sent to submit th«* matter to th# peo
ple. though Its members are greatly
Inclined to get every dollar they legiti
mately can from their position.
It has been recognized for a long
time that there 1? no real need of a
sf-Hslon of the legislature every year.
A big percentage of the bills Intro
duced nre not Intended to accomplish
any temporary or permanent good.
They are meant to Inform the con
stituents of the members Introducing
them that their representatives are
tiding nomt'hkig. In other words,
they are meant for hv.ne consumption
—for electioneering purpose*. It is
certainly time the puDlle money should
no longer be used for any such pur
pose. Every dollar that la collected
by the atata la needed by stats Insti
tutions. Indeed, the demands of these
institutions, especially tha publlo
schools, are a long way from being
satisfied. Twice ss much as at pres
ent could be spent on the schools
with beneficial results. That being
the case, why .should many thousands
of dollars every two yeitrs be used
practically to Inform tha people that
th#!r representatives In the legisla
ture are at their posts of duty and
trying to earn their good will.
Judging from the wav Mr. Brown
handled some other questions in his
published letters during the campaign
for the gubernatorial, nomination, It
Is safe to assume that he understands
this biennial sessions question, and
will use his Influence to reduce the
cost of legislation

What Happens at That Great
American Institution, the Banquet
T HE society—any society, in any city—is
giving a banquet. The diners have had their
food hurled at them and have hurled it into them.
A long and imposing toast-list has been prepared
and the speakers are at the head table trying
not to appear self-conscious. Cigars are lighted.
The orchestra is playing The Merry Widow. A
few of the younger set are humming along with
the tune. The ladies have arrived in the gallery.
The Toastmaster rises, taps with the gavel, glances
around the room and smiles complacently. There
is a great noise of chairs being shifted so every
body can face the head table. The Toastmaster
straightens his tie, pats his shirt bosom and begins.
What happens is told by-
