A ZULU WITH A TASTE FOR
ROMANCE.
The Story Of the Killing Of the
Prince Imperial.
New York Tribune.I

New York Tribune.l
|. Usikali, a Zulu with a forbidding
face, but an amiable disposition, ca
pers around in Bunnell's museum in
very thin attire. He says he was one
of the Zulu party that killed the
Prince Imperial. A Tribune report
err saw him recently in all his native
loneliness. Usikali wore little bou-
quets in his ears, his dusky arms were
adorned with bracelets, and his head
was encased in a feathery gear that
battles description. His chocolate
colored skin shone with a high polish;
and equipped with shield and spear
he was altogether a very singular OBJ
ject. With the aid Of William Stone,
as an interpreter, who says he lived
seventeen years in Natal, on the bor-
ders of Zululand, the reporter con-
versed with the warrior.
Usikalis story was told with many
grimaces and contortiOns. He said
he was out skirmishing with a party
of Zulus when the leaders came upon
the prince and his men. The princes
horse SHE'D, and he was thrown from
his seat. On his remounting Chief
Usihayo killed him. Two of the
princes followers were also killed by
the Zulus. Usikali says he witnessed
the ARRAY from a short distance,
The reporter asked the Zulu
through the interpreter, if he might
not as well confess to killing the
prince himself.
Usikali replied mysteriously that he
wouldn't say he killed him if he did;
but if he were in his own country he
wouldn't be afraid to admit it. The
chief was entitled to the honor Of the
killing, and was given the handsome
clothes hat the prince wore. Nobody
in the party knew who the prince was,
although from his attire he was sup
posed to be an important parsonage.
His stomach was ripped open after
death, and his throat cut, in accord
with a cheerful Zulu custom.
Usikali illustrated the operation by
gesticulation, exploding his words VIC
in an extravagant waste of
language.
Usikali continued by saying the
chief had given orders to kill every
thing that came in their way, whether
men or animals. When the princes
party approached, the Zulus sprang
ambush and attacked him. The
prince fought bravely and killed one
OF his assailants. Usikali said that
he was captured blythe English troops,
and after his release he was taken to
England and exhibited at the West
minister aquarium and then was
brought to America. On taking his
leave, the reporter was told by Usikali
hat the Zulus could wipe out the
United States"

unclaimed Money.


blnclnnhll AlHcrsl
The amount of unclaimed money in
the Bank OF England is enormous.
Since 1875 all money and effects
classed as dormant funds in chancery
have been given into the control Of
the bank. In 1929 the total of suit
ors' stock then in court was nearly
938, SOC, 900; in 1854, e46,00O 900; in
1872, the list of dormant funds con-
tanned $500 names. There are now
more names on the list, and the I'M
claimed dividends reach che sum OF
e900, 00O-'dividends due and not de-
manded"-under a nearly equal
amount advanced to the government.
The bank no longer publishes lists
1T being claimed that such publica-
lions have promoted frauds-but pur
sued the curious policy of sending out
circulars to persons who in the opin-
ion of the officers seem likely to be in
terested," as if it were possible for the
officers to have information regarding
all who are likely to be interested. y
Dividends have been accruing in some
cases since 1854. Lists published
forty years ago showed that the rep
resentatives of some 10000 investors
il the South sea company were enti-
tied to about e5, 500, 900 for unclaimed
