marck finally broke down the father’s
opposition, bat the mother, a high spir
ited woman, was obdurate.
The daughter, however, evinoed a
preference for her suitor, and finally
won her parents over and the marriage
took place in 1847, the young oouple
' making a short wedding tour through
Switzerland and Italy.
Three children were born to the Bis-
maroks—Marie, born at Sohoenhausen
Aug. 21, 1818; Herbert, born at Berlin
Deo. 28, 1849, aiul William, born at
Frankfort Aug. 1, 1852.
The princess, a-perfect picture of the
German hausfrau, exerted a wonderful
influenoe over the great chancellor.
"She it 1b who made me what I am,” is
an expression often made by. her hus
band.
The illness of the princess has been
of considerable duration, and while the
country was not prepared for the great
surprise which the announcement caus
es, those intimate with the family have
not entertained hopes of her ultimate
recovery for some months. -
Bismarck Broken Down.
Varsein, Nov. 27.—Prinoe Bismarck
is completely broken down by the death

at few weeks ago, when the princess
was growing worse, Prinoe Bismarck
said to his old butler, whose wife was
dangerously ill: "My friend I share
your grief heartily. I am in the same
terrible position as yourself. Everybody
is passing away before ourselves."

£ab Claiuk, Win., Nov. 27.—Hypno
tism :uid telepathy will, it is believed,
bo givert a now fituiiiHug in the scien
tific ’ world by facts brought to light
boro llirongb the arrmt of George W.
Pi' lin aud his sou, Asigal Pickin.
.On Sept. 4, Edna Mabel Briggs, 17
year* nge. intelligent; vigorous and
qf-gvod family, disappeared. After two
days her father and an officer found her
at t he home of Dr. Pickin. She has
since been In the custody of her parents
find in the cart) of physicians, bat, it is
claimed, she was so in the power of
young Pickin, who had hypnotized her,
that the story which led to the arrests
was not obtained until recently.
Thu same charge is made against Dr.
PioLiu and hi • son. Each plead, d not
guilty and- waived examination, The
doctor is out eu $1,500 bail, but the son
is atilljii prison.
* The district attorney says he has
enough proof of the ordinary nature to
convict both father and son of the son-
ons crime charged, but much evidence is
bang gathered relative .to Jho hypnotic
and telepathic features.
The facts are stated to be that the
girl. When found by her father, was
under hypnotic control; that olio re
mained so for a long time afterwards,
and, owing to tho control exercised over
her by young Pickin, sho was unable
to reveal the truth;*" that she was con
stantly in the earn of a prominent phy
sician iu this city; that the authorities
summoned to their aid a well known
professional hypnotist and physician
who placed her under a hypnotic con
trol superior to the influence of young
Pickin; that by this means the main
facts were gained, though the girl re
lapsed again into the control of young
Pickin for a time; that young Pickin
wits finally persuaded to at least par
tially release tho girl from his hypnotic
control, which had baffled tho authori
ties and physicians in spite of tho fact
that the girl was all the time iu their
custody; that by careful treatment her
mei tal freedom has finally been re-
stored, and that when the arrest of
young Pickin was announced to aer she
threw off the last vestige of hi< influ
ence and is prepared to tell her stovy on
the witness stand.
‘The district attorney nnd the physi
cians say that it was demonstrated
while the investigation was going on.
that, though separated from her by a
distance of two or three miles, young
Pickin exercised control over the girl,
and that she described with perfect ac
curacy on several occasions exactly
--•whn'rPickirrtvtmtOirtg' svt’a time when
col In.-ion was absolutely impossible.
The physicians say that tne phenom
enon of telepathy, or thought transfer
ence, is by this case established firmly
as a scientific fact.
The girl is of much more than ordi
nary intelligence. .She has told thodis-
triel attorney that on the night she was
taken to Dr. Palin's house she read the
mind of the doctor through that of his
son. She added that if there is any
thing in mind reading there is a sub-
cellar i’t that house in which are buried
the hobies of the babies of two young
girls.
Citizens of standing and wealth are
interesting themselves in the girl’s case.
Dr. Pickin and his son say nothing ex
cept that they are innocent.
Dr. Pickin has lived here many years
and has what he calls a "vitapathic”
institution in au obscure part of the
west side.
Miss Briggs has always gone in good
society. *
TRAPPED THE TIGER.

Tampa, Fla., Nov. 27.—S. B, Gibson,
of Oxford, Sumter county, was before
United States Commissioner H. L.
Cramer charged with running a “blind
tiger.” ’Many complaints have been
lodgod against Gibson prior to this, but
they could never be made to stick for
lack of evidence.
This time, howovor, he was trapped,
and in rather a novel way. Mrs. L. M.
Nichols and Mrs. C. E. Winegourd.two
determined ladies of Oxford, attired
themselves in male costume aud walked
boldly into the tiger’s den and asked
for liquor. It was sold to them. In

at tiie time was produced. Mr. Gibson
was placed under a $200 bond for his
appearance.

Associated Press of IHinois. It bus as
sumed relations With the United Press,
which will go info effect today. It .Will
enter the field as an aggressive ally of
the United Press^-and an uncompromis
ing enemy of tho western organization.
Bad faith and a broken contract furnish
the cause for this determination of
southern newspaper men.
These few sentences summarize the
events of the post three days in this
city, and the conditions which must.be
confronted by the Chicago managers of
the Western Associated Press when
they meet bore Dec.' 5. The following
letter is a formal notice of the repudia
tion of, alf relations between the south
and Wef t:
New York, Nov. 20.
To Victor F. Lawson. President of the
Associated Pres*, of Illinois:
1)EAK SIR—TJjio Associated Press of Il
linois, having violated its contract rela
tions with the Southern Associated Press,
this is to give you notice that from this
date we will hold no relations of any kind
whatever with your organization.
Yours respectfully,
J. H. Estill.
Vice Pres. So. Associated Press.
The history of the breach of control
by the western organization which has
led to this rapture is neither so long nor
so involved that it obscures one single
fact which Has been growing in the
iniudg of newspaper men all over the
country ever since the ambitions Chi
cago managers planned, 15 months ago,
iu their own vernacular, “to mop the
floor” with eastern newspapers aud their
ally, the United Press.
The fact is this: Any contract made
by the Associated Press of Illinois is
made to be broken when it suits tlie
purpose of its managers to break it.
Such contract was made by it with the
Southern Associated Press.
One of its features related to tho
agreement that two New Orleans news
papers, The Picayune and The Times-
Democrat, should be recognized as mem
bers of the Southern Associated Press.
That agreement was satisfactory to all
coucerned. Unknown to the Southern
Associated Press, tile western managers
entered into a secret contract with the
two newspapers in question, which, in
effect, was calculated to deprive the
Southern Associated Press of its reve
nues from those newspapers.
This, of itself, was a violation of the
spirit of the contract between the south
and west. Other acts of the latter fol
lowed which made it clear to the south
ern newspaper men that they were in
relations with a tricky set, aud the
whole subject has been receiving their
thoughtful attention for some months.
The Southern Associated Press hold a
mooting in Norfolk, Ya., last week, and
immediately thereafter its executive
committee came to this city to ascertain
from President Lawson, who is at the
Windsor hotel, the exact attitude of the
western association upon the New Or
leans question. . . f -
There were present at the' interview'
United States Senator Patrick Walsh,
of the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, J. H.
Estill, of the Savannah News, T. T.
Stockton, of the Jacksonville Times-
Union, J. C. Hemphill, of tho Charles
ton News aud Courier, Adolph S. Ochs,
of the Chattanooga Times, President
Lawson and his assistant general man
ager, Charles S. Diehl.
Tho evasive answers and the slufty
ground of tho western representatives
confirmed the snspecions of tho south
erners that double dealing was going
on. Their indignation was intensified
later on when they saw a circular which
had just been sent out by the wostern
association stating that members onght
to be informed that the Southern Asso
ciated Press had been guilty of a viola
tion of its contract with the west.
This was adding insnlt to injury and
the southerners determined to cut loose
from tho western association. Thoy
were fortified in their determination by
forcible telegrams received from their
southern associates, to whom they had
communicated the condition of affairs.
By them they were assured that their
action would bo heartily approved by
the association as a whole, and 'that
equal approval would be given any alli-
auce which they might make with the
United Press.
Evan P.'Howell of the Atlanta Con
stitution was especially emphatic in his
view that a discontinuance of all fur
ther relations with the west, and the be
ginning of a fight foi; the integrity of
the Southern Associated Press were de
manded.
General Manager Walter P. Phillips
of the United Press had been keenly
alive to the oondition of affairs, and
through him negotiations were opened
with the United Press.
These culminated at a meeting held
in the offioe of tho New York Sun,
where the alliances offensive and
defensive between two nows associa
tions were formed. The New York
Herald, Tribune, Snn and New York
Times were each represented at this
meeting, and nnarimonsly approved the
negotiations of General Manager Phil
lips. The four members of the south
ern executive committee already men
tioned and Daniel A. Tompkius, of the
Charlotte (N. C.) Observer, attended the
meeting.
The agreement which gives the South
ern Associated press additional privi
leges as news gatherers, and which will
enablo it to broaden its field of opera
tions, was signed and sealed upon the
spot. Then the executive committee
prepared the letter to President Lawson
and gave instructions necessary to a
prompt severance of all relations with
the west at midnight.
There are upward of 40 southern
newspapers that will thus be brought
into exclusive relationship with the
United PreaS-
Washington, Not. 27.—Has si titled
son-in-law legalright to support by an
American mother-in-law? Will the
American courts enforce this right? j
These are Questions which Count Di- spring,
vonno has submitted to a leading Item "
of lawyers in this city, aadthecaeemay
soon be argued in court,' It will be a
novel case, the first of the kind ever
brought in America.
It will be remembered that Count Di-
vonnu married Miss Florence Auden-
ried, a beautiful* heiress of this* dty,
about four years ago. The troubles that
have grown out of the marriage have
kept the couple more or leas before the
public ever since. The mother-in-law,
Mrs. Audenried, has an income of $25.-
000 a year and the count has only debts.
He has always labored under the im
pression that a good share of the moth
er-in-law’s income belonged to him.
The efforts of the count and countess to
compel Airs. Audenried to support them
have kept society amused.
Very little sympathy is expressed for
the wife who lrid aided the impecuni
ous husband in all his schemes to utilize
tuo wealth of a very generous mother;
or for the count whose refusal to work,
and determination to get money from
nis mother-in-law, have excited the
contempt of tho friends of the Anden-
ried family. Still the count and count
ess, through the liberality of the moth
er, have been living in style at the Ar
lington and moving in society which
does not hesitate behind their backs, to
strongly condemn their conduct. It is
only fair to society to say that os a rule
it does not recognize Divonne.
The last episode in this lamentable
family history, in which the nobleman'
anil his infatuated wife attempted to
obtain money from Mrs. Audenried in
the most ingenious manner was recent
ly published. Failing in this effort to
secure by persuasion the settlement of
a large sum upon him for life. Count
Divonne conceived the novel idea of
going to law to have it done, and got
ready his arguments to prove that Mrs.
Audenried bought him for her daugh
ter, by agreeing to support him, and
that she onght to be made to do so.
The lawyers who are considering the
case are ex-Judge Shellabarger, one of
the most prominent practitioners of the
district, and Jeremiah M. Wilson,whoso
legal ability defeated the army of Breck
inridge lawyers and won the verdict for
Aliss Pollard in the hard fought breach
of promise case so recently ended. Mes
srs. Shellabarger and Wilson admit that
■thej Jjftvu been, retainedrhjr- .Connt Div
onne to prosecute Mrs. Audienried, his
mother-in law, for failing to support
-him. and to compel her to do so.
Judge Shellabarger says that the
count makes oat a pretty strong case,
and the judge is of the opinien that
there is a cause for action. *
Mrs. Audienried has gone away and
effectually .hid herself, so that the count
cv'iuit get at her ponding his accept
ance or rejection of what at first seems
to be a very liberal offer.
Mrs. Audenried has said to the count
that she will give him $8,000 a year if
he nnd his wife will leave the country
and live in France under promise of
never putting foot on American gronnd
during her lifetime. If he refuses, his
mother-in-law declares she will not give
him one cent. But the offer is exasper
ating to tho count. He owes thousands
upon thousands of francs in France, and
if he took up his abode there his income
would be swallowed up by his creditors
before he conld finger a dollar of it. He
says he might manage, by living in a
style far beneath his rank and dignity,
to exist on $8,000 a year in America,
but the trouble is he won’t get« cent if
ho stays here. And as he won’t have a
cent if he goes abroad, he feels that he
has been treated outrageously and that
if there is any justice in this republic
he is going to have it.
The rnmor that he might possibly
work for a living is another insnlt add
ed to the long list the count has suf
fered. He said that he conld not im
agine how th6 story that he had ex
pressed a willingness to drive a trolley
car had got into circulation. He was
very vigorous in denying that he had
ever made such an assertion.
“I have,” said the count, “consider
able respect for those Americans who
have to work for their living as dootors
or lawyers, but a nobleman of title who
would descend to such a course would
forever disgrace his native land.”
