The Crown Prince's Love Affairs.

Few more romantic stories have crossed the Atlantic (writes a New York correßpon* dent) than the one which came from th« Paris " Matin" on Wednesday asserting? that the Crown Prince of Germany wishes to renounce his rank and right of succession to the throne in order to wed Mies Gladys Deacon, eldest daughter of the late Mr"8» ---ward Parker Deacon. Nothing at'.allUSfc known in this country about the rumour, although it is generally discredited. Miss Deacon is beautiful and accomplish ed, and has spent most of her life abroad. Her parents went to live in Paris soon after their marriage in 1879. Mr Deacon belonged to a prominent and wealthy Boston family, his wife being a daughter of Admiral Cnkl* rles H. Baldwin. Mr Deacon shot and kill ed M. Edward Abeille at Nice in 1891 for, as he believed, being intimate with bis wife. He was sentenced to one year's imprison ment, but was pardoned. He subsequently secured a divorce. Mr Deacon died in an asylum for the insane at Boston last year. Mrs Deacon is living in retirement ia Southern California. A Berlin correspondent s%ys: —In the anecdote of the betrothal there is, of course^ no truth whatever. The Crown Prince is known to be very chivalrous to wards young ladies, with ■whom, he plays lawn-tennis just as his greatgrandfather, Kaiser Wilhelm the First, was in hif. younger days to ladies, and also to be extremely susceptible in the presence of a pretty face. In fact, it is said of him that so great is his impressionability that he falls deeply in love with nearly every good looking girl he talks to, and he then be comes very sentimental. During his last visit to England it wat reported in Berlin that he was always falling in love, but at the same time the old adage about safety in numbers was applied to him. An amusing scene, however, took place on his return when it was discovered by | the Kaiserin tbat he had given away a i ring he used to wear, which was a present | from her on the occasion, I believe, of hie • ' Confirmation.

Ross'' Antidote and Ointment The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. riIHE following unsolicited Testimonial' JL by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself : — Masterton, August 2s, 1901, Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill/ and you may depend I was. He , added, "Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I ' always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. ' ilAlhjArAlliLLft. _ FURTHER EVIDENCE. JAMES THOMPSON, Masterton, states that he has been cured of a long standing blood ailment, also running sore on the leg, by the use of Plantekoa Medicine and Ointment. Good for Thomp son. W. H. DEVONPORT, also of Masterton, was unable to wear his boots owing to broken chilblains, but his feet were quite healed with three applications of Plantekoa Ointment. Seems wonderful, doesn't it. MRS J.ROW, Heatherlea, Levin, suffered from " nervous debility, extreme weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. One bottle effected complete cure." Plante koa the ladies friend.
