New York, Sept. 19.—Official con

I'nlon Pacific transaction was made
today with the- sole qualification that
the detain of transfer of the control are

It waa from'Kuhn, Lpeb & Co, fiscal

Union Pacific, and purchasers of the
Baltimore and Ohio stock sold by the
Pennsylvania two weeks ago, that the
intimation was secured.
The cost of Baltimore and Ohio to Its
tew ow ners remains largely a matter of
conjecture. One guess was that It In
volved an expenditure of approximate
ly 1120,000,000, but this figure waa con-
ndered altogether too high for the rca-
inn, among others, that control of the

of much less than a majority of the

(Copyright, 1906, by Hearst News
Service.)
London, 'Sept. 19.—Various rumors
are current regarding the unsatisfacto
ry state of Princess Victoria’s health,
and all the circumstances seem' to in
dicate that the trouble Is mental. It Is.
reported that the king’s eldest daugh
ter may soon retire from the social
world altogether.
King A If. nso, when In England last
month, recommended San Sebastian as
a resort which would benefit her
health; but since the princess has
been ordered a complete rest and San
Sebastian is the Spanish Newport, the
idea was given up. The princess' visit
to Norway for her sister’s coronation
had a bad effect upon her, the excite
ment having somewhat unsettled her.
Princess Victoria’s retirement—tem
porary,.at least—from court will, there
fore, take place Immediately, to save
her from possible complications.
The royal family of Britain Is likely
to very shortly be relieved of a con
stant source of Irritation. The brother
of the famous John Brown, who was
so long the close attendant of the late
Queen Victoria in Scotland, Is dying
of cancer. The point of this announce
ment, which has not yet been publish
ed In any way In England, Is that King
Edward, furious at the stories which
were, and still are, circulated along
Deeside concerning John Brown, turn
ed John’s surviving brother off the es
t& Hi* majesty was determined to get
rid, as far as possible, of all that serv
ed to continually remind him when in
Scotland of the late John Brown. But
when the king turned the brother off
tho Balmoral estate he promptly took
up his residence in a house on the other
side of the road on the Invercauld es
tate barely a quarter of a mile from
Balmoral Castle.
When King Edward saw on John
Brown’s tombstone the Inscription,
"Here lies a. true and faithful servant
of Queen Victoria,” he flew Into a vio
lent rage. Ilia anger was nonetheless
poignant when he saw that there was
no wav of removing this odious memo
rial to* that extremely common person,
John Brown. . . .,
The Balmoral people and the innam*
tants of the whole district a ong Dee-
aid,* are complaining
and close economy. The other day he
wanted some small toy which would
have cost next to nothing In the actual
money, but which whs looked upon by
the Princess of Wales (who can look
very, very severe when she likes) as a
quite unnecessary expense.
She told the future King of England
that he could not have it. For a time
he refused to take “no” for an answer.
At last her royal highness sharply told
him not to bother her so much. "What
would people think to see you worrying
like that?” demanded the princess.
Prince Eddie had no answer, but look
ed with almost as cloudy p. countenance
as his mother, which as a rule Is say
ing a good deal.
But his next brother rose to the oc
casion, the little prince looked up Into
the face of the Princess of Wales and
said: "Why, they will think he takes
after hls mother.”
The king's tailor has been giving In
an interview, some details of the ward
robe of Edward VII. Hls majesty
wears about a hundred pairs of trous
ers in a year, and pays from $10.60 to
$13 a pair for them. He orders about
a dozen evening dress suits every year
at $80 each, and for hls lounge suits
he pays $53.
Twelve or fifteen frock-coats, and
fifteen overcoats are included In the
king’s yearly renewal of hls wardrobe.
The king has at least one hundred na
val and military •uniforms, which rep
resent a large sum In value, but apart
from the cost of these hls tailoring bill
amounts to from $5,000 to $6,000 an
nually. 7
From the necessity imposed on roy
alty, King Edward has acquired the
celerity of a quick change artist In
dressing. He can change from one
suit Into another with iharvfelous rap-
idlty.
Hls taste, which when younger, was
Inclined to somewhat loud patterns,
Is now all In favor of simplicity. A
plain navy blue serge is hls majesty s
favorite cloth.

Lady Kitty Ogllvle, who*, wedding

will bo married from Cortachy 1 Castle,
Forfarshire, one of the anelent feudal
strongholds of Scotland, with a par-
tlcutarly weird gho»t legend attached.
Cortachy Castle, the ancestral home of
the earls of Alrlle, Is haunted by a
spectral drummer boy, who beats a
ghostly tattoo when an Ogllvie Is about
to die. In life the drummer was a mes
senger -sent to a former earl by an of
ficer against whom he had a grudge.
The wicked earl had the boy killed and
hls body thrown out of the window In
side hls own drum. The last time the.
fatal drum was heard waa at the time
of the Boer war, when a lady guest,
who knew nothing about the legend,
told at the dinner table how she heard
mysterious music accompanied by a
drum. Shortly afterwards came the
news that the Earl of Arlle had been
killed at the engagement of Diamond
Hill, while leading hls regiment of lan
cers In a charge. The gallant earl was
lady Kitty’s father and her brother.

Anniston, Ala.. Sept. 19.—With over
100 enthusiastic delegates in attendance
and with the strains of ’’Dixie" played
by the orchestra, the annual reunion of
the Calhoun county Confederate sol-
filers was opened at the court house
yesterday afternoon. The threatening
weather kept the attendance down
somewhat, but what was lacking In
numbers was amply made up In enthu
siasm shown during the meeting.
After giving the "rebel yell” with a
vim, Judge J. T. Greene called the
men to order and Rev. W. P. Howell
offered prayer. K. H. Hanna, of the
local corps, then gave a short address
of welcome, followed by an able re
sponse by Judge A. F. McGhee. Owing
to some misunderstanding. Congress
man Sydnle J. Bowie was not present,
ns was expected, and hls address was
necessarily omitted from the program.
The latter part of the session was
devoted to a reminiscent talk about the
old days, all the members participat
ing. Before adjournment a group pic
ture was taken.

Paris, Sept. 19.—Paris Is becoming
infested with American beggars. Ac
cording to Mr. Honan, secretary of the
American Relief Society, there are
more this, year than ever before. The
American consul general, Mr. Mason,
says It Is due to the growing craze to
see Europe.
"The fool books published In America,
telling how to live on $500 a year in
Europe,” said Mr. Mason, ’’are partly
responsible for the present distress,
and as the government make* .no finan
cial provision to meet the* cases of
destitution the consuls all over Europe
are paying out their own good money.
"The price of living in Paris has In
creased 50 per cent since 1900, and
Americans fall to realize that It la as
expensive to live In Europe as It Is In
America.
"Money is not paid only to the poor.
Only last week the son of a wealthy
and influential New York gentleman
had gone through hfs allowance, and
to keep him from starving In the
streets I loaned him 150 francs.
"Some of the worst cases are dls
slpated young men who have gotten
out of touch with their rich fathers,
and who spend their month's allow
ance the first week after It arrives.
"Another class composes a gang of
American beggars who hang hround
outside the consulate to extract a dol
lar at a time from sympathetic Amer
icans. Some of these frauds appear
to do good business.
"The craze to see Europe has brought
about some curious consequences. Re
cently a man from Texas, named
Boughton, came over with hls
wife to try his fortune. Wearing a
pair of stilts under long trousers and a
cowboy's aombrero hat, he quickly cre
ated a sensation In England and made
some $2 a day. Coining to Paris, ac
cording to the story told by the Amer
ican Relief Society, the police told him
to ‘cut It out,’ as such things are per
missible only during carnivals, and the
poor fellow nearly starved until the
society sent him back to London.
"Since the first of the year the Amer
ican Relief Society has had nearly 250
new cases of destitution, not Including
the chronic beggars. Last year the so
ciety sent about forty home to the
United States and twenty-five to Lon
don, where the American understands
the language."
"The more we send home, however,"
said an officer of the society, "the more
come the next year. This year breaks
all records. Begging Is vastly on the
increase.
"To show to -what extent some
go to see Paris, I recall the recent case
pf a man who hid among some boxes
and succeeded In getting here as
stowaway.
t ’Didn’t you fear being detected and
Imprisoned?’ this strenuous fellow was
asked.
" ’Why I never thought of it until
now,’ he said.
"This man with Initiative came to
grief and was one of the many that
had to be sent home.”

When one considers that many peo
ple frequent the bathing establish
ments in the river, and that in- the dry
periods the river water is turned Into
the pipes which supply drinking water
to the population, It Is enough to give
one the permanent shudders.
A statistician has Just published
note relative to the length of time
women pass during their lives In tho
contemplation of their own -images In
the glass.
Up to the age of six years the aver
age female child scarcely ever looks
at Itself In the glass. From six to ten
years of age little girls spend an aver
age of seven minutes a day looking at
themselves In the mirror. Between ten
and fifteen years the time spent before
the glass Is about 15 minutes dally.
From that time until she Is twenty she
looks at herself in the glass for about
20 minutes, and between the age of
twenty and thirty half an hour Is spent
bv the average woman daily ln< front
f her mirror.
Dr. Cornelius Is the president of
German league for the prevention of
sea-sickness. He has Just arrived In
Paris to make arrangements for the
translation Into the French language
of hls "Guide to Sea-Sickness," which,
It seems to us, would have been mors
happily named "Guide From Sea-Sick
ness." The book has sold In Germany
to the tune of over 7 000. The coming
edition Is to be Illustrated by figures.
They will, doubtless, be very entertain

Friend Pays Assessment of
Winder Man Putting Him
in the Race.
Suicides In quartets seem to be pop
ular In Paris Just now. • A few days
ago three men and a woman Jumped off
the bridges into the Seine and were
drowned within a short while of each
other. Not long after, in another quar
ter of the town, four people sought
death by Jumping from windows. Iaist
week four people were found dead from
self-inflicted bullet wounds In the pub
lic parks. The curious part of these
suicides is that the dead persons are In
no way related to each other, and evi
dently have had no Intimation of each
other’s Intentions.
The department of waterworks for
Paris have Just sent in their report for
1905. This shows, among other things,
the number of dead bodies fished out
of the Seine during the year. They
comprise 100 human bodies, 2,110 dogs.
900 cats, 2,869 rats, 560 hens, 36 ducks,
215 rabbits, 12 sheep, 30 horses, 45 pigs.
