Announcement has come from Wash ington that the llelgian crown nrince. tlie bojlsh, likable Leopold, was taken ill last night at the dinner given the visiting lojnlty by Secretnry Lansing, l.ieutennnt Colonel Nolf, the king's personnl plijsieiau, announced his ail ment ns a slight attack of indigestion. And folks here, who hnve followed the royal entourage since the nrriral in America, and who were ' particularly taken by the frank-fneed prince, who, they said, would much prefer outdoor sports to the endless series of parades nud receptions these folks are today shaking their heads with parental wis- "AVhat else could you expect?" they nre saying. "As a result of thev mix tures that boy-prince lias been eating nt banquets, honorary luncheons and the rest of it? It would be too much for nny boj, rojnl or otherwise. What he needs is n good rest and plenty of home cooking." The girls are openly nnd frankly sym pathetic and distressed. They feel as bad as if it was a critical malady.

ELECTED BY LOYAL LEGION Six New Members Admitted by Pennsylvania Commandery Six new members of the Military Older of the I.oynl Legion of the United States were elected nt a stated meeting of the Pennsylvania commandery nt the Union League last night.

When the Itomaus visited Gaul and the Brit ish IrIch thev lllieil the festival and combined it with the feast of Pomona, celebrating the winter store of apples; nnd nuts. And so the day has come ! down through an endless number of years with apples nnd nuts and spirits and fortune telling all mixed into one great Halloween. The eastern church adopted the day in the fourth century, but it was not until the seventh century that the western church made November 1 a day of All Saints. In Ireland unmarried persons stU) come together nnd take three dishes', putting clean water In one, dirty water in another nnd leaving the third empty. Then, one by one, they are blindfolded nnd whirled about. If they put their hands In the dish of clean water they will be Inarrled within tli year ; if they touch the illsli of dirty water they will be married to a widow or a widower; but single blessedness or disappoint ment is all that can be expected by those whose hands have been guided by ap evil fate to touch the empty dish. Mirrors are favorite places for the appearances of ghosts. Candle light will be reflected iu the form of the future mate. Too often have maidens well ulgh died from fright when a mys terious shadow crossed the mirror and tool: the form of familiar masculine features. Men. too. it Is said, can discover their future wives. They must take a shirt sleeve and wet it, then hang it before the fire and lie in bed and watch until midnight. On the stioke of twelve, through closed door or window, will come the spirit of the future partner. She will glide across the room, nnd touching the shirt, will turn the sleeve inside out and disappear. And you 11 know" her when jou see her in the flesh. Oh, it'll be a shivery night!
