Infanta Eulalie Quarrels With
Nephew Alfonso.
• ■
Princess Who Was Conspicuous In
America During the Chicago World’s
Fair Is Again in the
Limelight.
Chicago.—Americans who are old
enough to remember distinctly the Co
lumbian exposition of eighteen years
ago in this city will recall the coming
of Infanta Eulalie of Spain as a guest
of the nation. At that time she was
about thirty years old and she cre
ated a sensation here by snubbing the
leaders of American society most roy
ally. In Chicago she refused the hos
pitality of Mrs. Potter Palmer on the
ground that she could not be the guest
of an "innkeeper.” Frequently since
then Eulalie has figured in the inter
national dispatches in a more or less
sensational way. She is a woman of
independent spirit and thinks no more
of defying court etiquette than of
snubbing American women.
Alfonso, the youthful king of Spain,
who is her nephew, has found her far
from complaisant when he has issued
his orders and she has never hesitat
ed to criticize him openly. He object
ed strenuously when she divorced her
husband in France, a thing illegal in
Spain; she called him an ingrate when
he did not reward her son for fighting
in Africa; and for some time she has
preferred to live in Paris.
Recently she published a book in
■which she justifies divorce as a natu
ral support to morality under certain
circumstances, and when Alfonso

heard of it he telegraphed a command
for the suppression of the book. Then
Eulalie exercised her woman’s pre
rW»ative and talked back, expressing
herself in no uncertain terms. She
defies her kingly nephew and says she
will sell her Spanish estates, give up
her place at court and live as she
pleases in Paris. At the same time
she bids Alfonso a curt farewell.
Os course all European royalty is
scandalized and in circles which are
Hot royal expectations are nursed that
before long Eulalie, now that she has
"kicked over the traces,” will be doing
things to keep the sensational press
busy.
Alfonso had trouble enough trying
to govern his somewhat rebellious
subjects. He might have known bet
ter than to try to boss a woman.
NOW A PENSION FOR MOTHERS
Homes May Thus Be Kept Up and
Children Reared by Mother
and Sent to School.
Chicago.—The new Illinois state law
pensioning deserving poor mothers
with families'' recently became opera
tive. The first week forty mothers,
most of them widows and the sole
support of that many broods of chil
dren, received checks for amounts
ranging from $lB to $l2O.
The pension act allows $5 to $lO
a month for each child. Nearly all
the mothers werdltearfully grateful.
The pension allows them to keep the
family together and exercise the care
necessary for growing children.
The deserving mothers - and children
are investigated by officials of the
juvenile courc. When the home influ
ences are found to be good and the
mothers deserving the money is paid
to the mother. Before the law was
passed the mothers who found it im
possible to support their children
turned them over to the juvenile
court and that institution placed them
in other homes, for the support of
each child the county paid ten dollars
a month in the new homes.. The pen
sion law authorized the county to
leave the children with the parent
and pay them the ten dollars a month
for each child.
A Boy’s Miraculous Escape.
Grand Junction, Colo. —At the risk
of his own life an unidentified tramp
saved Willie Stevens, twelve years
old, from death. The boy, on his way
to school, jumped upon a moving
freight train. He slipped and fell un
der a car. The tramp, who was riding
on the rods beneath, grabbed him and
held him from the ground until the
train stopped. The boy’s leg was
fractured and two of his fingers were
smashed beneath the wheels.

ORLEANS LOSES HOPE
“Pretender” Changes Plans in
Attempt to Form Monarchy.
Royalist Leader Attempts to Recon
cile Few Warring Followers —Pop-
ulace Care Nothing for Restor
ation of Throne.
Paris. —The royalists, who are al
ways fervent in France, although their
political influence ceased to be im
portant long ago, were surprised and
rather dismayed to receive from the
Duke of Orleans an order that he will
have no direct representative in
France hereafter.
The Duke of Orleans, the royalist
pretender to the French throne, of
course, who is an exile in England,
writes an open letter in which he ex
pressly says that any one assuming
to be bis personal representative will
do so without authority.
In this way the duke hopes to end
the discord which began several
months ago after he changed his rep
resentative here. On the one side is
the newspaper known as Action Fran
caise, of which Leon Daudet is head;
on the other are individuals who op
pose the militant methods of this news
paper.
In his letter the Duke of Orleans
says he has undertaken to reorganize
his followers in an effort to decentral
ize the royalist movement, as he has
always been opposed to centralization.
The political bureau is suppressed,
but delegates will be appointed who,
by means of committees, will carry on
the royalist campaign.
As a matter of fact the cause of the
Orleanists, the most important branch
of royalism in France, has shrunk to
a mere shadow. Tourists, particularly
American^, visiting France, are prone
to discuss the possibility of the mon
archy some day replacing the present
republic. But these discussions spring
more from romantic speculation than
from any knowledge of the situation.
The French republic was never
stronger, more solidly placed on its
foundations than at this moment. The
royalists proclaim themselves openly
in the senate and chamber of deputies,
but their number is insignificant; they
fail to hold even the balance of power
when the other parties are closely di
vided.
Among the working classes no de
sire for the restoration of the mon
archy is apparent. The last strong-
Clever Russian Swindler
He Got Insurance Money by Fraud—
t Now St. Petersburg Police Have
Him in Custody.
St. Petersburg.—A widespread swin
dle effected by fictitious life insurance
operations has just been discovered
by the St. Petersburg police. The
chief figure is Sigismund Poplavsky,
son of an insurance agent. He has
owned to frauds on the New York
Life, the Urbaine and the Kertch in
surance companies. Poplavsky re
ceived a high school education in his
native town of Tiflis and started
swindling early. He got appointed to
the traffic department of the Vladikav
kag railroad and there sold six wagon
loads of wheat belonging to a ship
per He was indicted and his mother
bailed him out, giving him the title
deeds of an estate she owned as se
curity. He sold the bail security and
hid in the Caucasus.
His first experiment in fraudulent
life insurance was a dozen years ago.
He insured himself with the Urbaine
company for 15,000 rubles. The fol
lowing year a very sick man present
ed himself at ( the Pskof office of the
company, far away from where the
policy was taken out, and # duly paid
the premium. He showed aIF the
passport identification documents of
Poplavsky. Sooij the sick man. whose
true name was ^van Fediotfnin, died,
and Poplavsky; who hart taken the
other’s identity, drew the Insurance
policy. Still keeping Fediounin's name
he went to Narva and in a year had
spent the money. Then in 1901 he
insured as Fediuunin with the New
«
bold of those who still retain loyalty
I to a king of France is found among
the aristocracy, but even there the
sentiment is not nearly as strong as it
was a decade or even five years ago.
The Catholic church has always been
royalist in its tendencies, but since
the separation of church and state this
influence is not as far-reaching as it
was.
Many officers in the French army
and perhaps the majority of those
holding highest rank in the navy be
’ long to the old nobility or aristocracy,
but the new generation is quickly
! crowding these representatives of the
ancient life of France into the back
ground. In spite of the Socialists’ ef
forts to decry militarism, the army is
intensely loyal to the republic.
In a word, the old ghost, the restora
■ tion of the monarchy, seems to be laid
' definitely. Therefore the letter of the
: Duke of Orleans, completely changing
his past plans, awakens interest only
among his few followers.
Tug Hits Whale During Fog
Strikes Sea Monster Asleep Off the
Pacific Coast, But Escapes
Damage.
Tacoma, Wash.—With a mighty
thump, that sent Capt. Crosby sprawl
ing in his deck house, and deck
hands flopping wildly out of the bunks,
put the engineer on his back and set
the mechanism shuddering, the tug
Redondo came to a sudden stop near
the light four miles north of the fork
of the Fraser river on the sturdy
tramp ship’s trip here from Vancou
ver, B. C.
Ai first Capt. Crosby thought the
tug was aground. But the real reason
for the big thump and the cessation of
the engines was even more hair rais
ing. For it was discovered the Ro
donda was on the back of a whale.
And it was a whale something more
than three times as big as the tug.
Capt. Crosby said the sea monster
must have been asleep, for otherwise
he would not have lain about in the
deep in that way and got bumped
into. Whales have been reported as
extraordinarily plentiful off the mouth
of the Fraser, and constant lookout
was kept for them, but the night
was misty and completely bid the
whopping, napping ocean giant.
The tug smashed into the whale
$
York Life for 35,000 rubles and in the
following year he tock a man from
the hospital who was incurably 111 and
equipped him with all the Feriounin
papers. The dying man was installed
in the apartment of Poplavsky’s
brother, where very soon he died. His
real name is so far unknown, but he
was buried as Fediounin and once
again Poplavsky got the insurance
money.
Then Poplavsky married a young
woman named Smurnoff and forthwith
insured her with the Kertch company
for 1,500 rubes. Soon he found a fe
male patient in one of the St. Peters
burg hospitals ■whose case was hope
less. He was able/to get her furnished
with his wife’s civic papers, and when
she died he collected his wife’s insur
ance money. She also was buried in
the name of Fediounin. Then he set
tled in St. Petersburg as Boleslav
Kupinsky and opened a timber busi
ness. He tried to insure with the Hel
singfors company for 25,000 rubles, as
he now admits, intending to repeat
the swindle that had so far succeeded.
But by this time he was being
watched.
The police will exhume his and his
wife’s doubles to trj’ and learn how
they died. They believe that he had
several pupils, tvho worked the trick
on other companies. The obligation in
Russia to produce passports and docu
ments showing one’s antecedents real
ly made the swindle easy, because the
production of them had the effect of
stopping the Inquiries that would have
followed natural suspicion.
HAS WORKED A FULL CENTURY
Coloradan Retire, at Age 114—Said
to Be Nation’s Oldest Man —Want-
ed to Retire With SIOO,OOO.
Grand Junction, Col. —“Cherokee
Bill,” an Indian-negro, Said to be one
hundred and fourteen years old, and
declared by the United States census
to be the oldest man in America, has
announced that he will retire.
"One hundred years of work is
enough for any man,” said Bill. "I
wanted to retire with SIOO,OOO to my
credit, an average of SI,OOO for every
year of my life, but I cannot make
it.”
He is reputed to have 300 pounds
of gold cached away in hiding places
about the little shack which he calls
home. His gold, according to esti
mates, is worth between $75,000 and
SBO,OOO. His fortune has been made
within the last fifteen years from gold
mining in Leadville, Cripple Creek
and along the Grand river. The only
name by which he has ever been
known in this part of the country is
"Cherokee Bill.”
with terrific impact, and as the big
fellow struggled, the tug’s propel
ler blades sank into his sides.
That put the engine out of commis
sion.
“The tug.” said Capt. Crosby, “was
really at the mercy of the big fish for
several minutes. If he had been in
clined to get mad over his loss of
sleep and try tossing about a bit he
certainly could have turned the Re
donda over. But he was apparently a
peaceful fish, for, instead of trying
to throw us up in the air, he only
struggled enough to get the propeller
blades out of his ribs and then left us
on the dive.
Finds SIO,OOO in Wooden Leg.
Oklahoma City, Okla.—An old
wooden leg may not be much of a
legacy, but when it contains SIO,OOO
it certainly is worth having, thinks
Jacob Randall, a pauper at the poor
farm of Canadian county. The leg
was given to him by Alexander P
Hamilton, a supposed pauper at the
farm, just before he died a few days
ago.
Randall later discovered a large
roll of money in the stock of the
artificial limb. If Hamilton had rela
tives they are not known of here.
