New York, Feb. 16.—With the
expected confirmation todav of the
engagement of youngJuy GouTiT iil
•Miss Annie Douglas Graham public
interest in the bride-elect has been
greatly increased. Though Miss
Graham enjoys an exceptionally
high position in society both in this
country and abroad she is little
known to the public lit large, prob-
ably because she has never gone in
tor athletics or indulged in other
pastimes that would bring her into
the limelight.
The report that Miss Graham is
the last of a royal line, w hich once
held the reins of government in
Hawaii is erroneous. Neither was
she born in the islands. She is
the only daughter of the late Doug-
las Graham, a .man of social and
business prominence in New York,
and she was born in this city. The
rumor of her royal connections -pos-
sibly originated in the fact 11 Pat
her mother was a Miss Coney of
Hawaii. Mr. Graham married Miss
Coney in the islands, but after ; a
brief stay there came to New York.
Following the death of her hus-
band Mrs. Graham was married to
Hubert. Vos, the well known por-
trait painter. Miss Graham was ed-
ucated in a convent in Paris. Fol-
lowing her graduation she traveled
with her parents over a large por-
tion of Europe and subsequently vis
ited tlie Hawaiian Islands. it wa
soon after her return from this
trip that Miss Graham first met

Berlin, Feb. 16.— An interesting
letter written by the Emperor Wil-
liam shortly after his 12th birthday,
to tlie commander of his regiment,
then at Versailles, has just seen the
light, of print, it. runs as follows:
“My dear Colonel—On my birth-
day I got many nice things, but the
nicest of all the presents is the bat-
tered shot which you have presented
to me. Tliis mighty shell is a ter-
rible thing indeed, and what damage
it must do when It is whole, and
when it comes whistling through the
air and falls to the ground and
hursts! And it must make an awful
!noise, i got a very great fright
when 1 saw this shell and 1 was fill-
ed with horror when I said to myself
that these sugar-loaves are shot’and
thrown at our dear regiment aiid at
our dear brave fellow countrymen
But, thank God! tins happens no
longer.
"For three weeks a truce has (icon
arranged and it is to be hoped there
will be no more fighting. Then you
will come hack to us crowned with
glory. How delighted 1 shall be to
welcome you all again. When- 1
heard of St. Privat and la* Bourget,
and still ol Le Bourget, 1 should, in
spite of a great fright, gladly have
been grown up in order to have been
there. In fact, I should have liked to
be with the regiment everywhere. II
is a great comfort to me to know
that no more of you are being shot
dead. 1 thank you many thousand
times for your kindness.”

duced by Senator Meachum:

Austin, Tex., Feb. 16., The Uni-
versity of Texas has three graduates
who are members of tlie, Harvard
faculty. F. ,1,. Dohinen, a Texan, blind
from boyhood, is a professor of
mathematics. One unusual tiling
about this man is that notwithstand-
ing liis blindness, lie has been a stu-
dent in four institutions, graduating
with honor from them all. He receiv-
ed his first training in the Institution
for the Blind in Austin. Graduating
from there tie enter <1 tlie University

Paris, Fell. 16. Mile. Helene
Miropoisliy, the prettiest and , one
of the cleverest, lady lawyers in
Paris, received a public proposal of
marrjage at the courtifsion of a lec-
ture she delivered at the Theatre
.Michel today.
She had declared that feminism
did not drive women from love and
marriage, but* that many women
who worked as lawyers? doctors and
ill other professions did so because
love had not come their way.
"It is unfair," said the ley urer,
amid laud applause, "to consider us
incapable of love or of niarriuge
because we work for a living."
When she sat down a gentleman,
who was well known to many peo-
ple present, rose from his stall, and
in front of an amused and excited
audience, made a formal proposal
for Mile. Miropolsky’s hand in mar-
riage. lie was firmly but politely
refused.
•-London, Feb. 16 Bill hang, the
champion heavyweight, fighter pi
Australia, and Sam Langford, the
Canadian-born negro, who is, now
generally recognized as one of the
big fighters in America, have com-
pleted the work of preparation for
their 20-round yarn test /i4t Md|u-
tosli’s Olympia annex. No heavy-
weight battle since the Gunner*
Moir-Tommy Burns fight has arous-
ed so much interest and enthusi-
asm among the 1 am don sporting
fraternity. The advance sale of
seats indicates that a record-break-
ing crowd will be at the ringside to
see the two big fighters meet.
The fighter from America ,will
enter the ring a favorite unless there
is a sudden and unwarranted switch
of the betting odds. Langford is
no stranger on tills side of the
water and the ring critics well re-
member the ease with which lie dis-
posed of Tiger Smith, Jeff Thorne,
and lan Hague, who were among
Hie most prominent of tlie heavy-
weights that England lias produced
in laic* years.
Langford's greater ring experi-
ence is figured as one of his chief
assets in his fight with the Austra-
lian. He has been In the ring for
mere than ten years and has taken
part in 100 battles. He never ha^
suffered a knockout and has lost
less than a dozen battles on ref-
eree's decisions.
In Lang the negro will meet a
younger man who has made a re-
markably good showing considering
the time he has been in the ring
The Australian has nearly all the
natural advantages over Langford.
He lias a longer reach, is many
pounds heavier and is an inch or
two taller than the man from Amer-
ica. He is said to be remarkably
fast on his feet for a man of his
size, hut in this respect he will have
no advantage over the negro. Which
of the two can hit the harder is a
matter of opinion, for both arc
known to have a stiff punch. Lang-
ford can stand a terrific heating and
l.apg lias shown in all -his battles
that it takes more than a love tap
to put him down. The Australian
is aggressive in a lumbering sort of
way, and Langford Is always after
Ms man, so there should not lie a
slow moment in the1 fight as long
as it lasts.
The American outclasses the Aus-
tralian in, only one thing, but that
\s tiie most essential thing in the
ring. It is in the knowledge of
H e fighting game and ring general-
ship that Langford excels. And
this excellence is expected to win
Mr hint the tight. i.ingt'ord him-
self ,s ar confident as can ho over
Hie result of the contest lie has
trained faithfully si ice his arrival
in England and appears ,to Ik* in
the best of condition for the battle
If he wins he will return to Amer-
ica to renew his endeavors to get
on a match with Jack Johnson for
Hie world's championship.
