ANaush,y Prince,s Set.

The celebrated coterie in London society,
says the Chicago Times, known as the Prince
of Wales set enjoys unenviable repu-
tation for IicenlIousness and depraviy.
The neral looseness of the prince him-
self was long a matter of notoriety, and
it is not too much to say that in this re-
spect, as in others, be set the fashion fer
his followers. His set is made up Of dis
solute rakes and women who, 10 say the
least, have not SO fine a regard for their re-
puta'ions as they oHght to have. The stories
OF the sets iniquities which have come. to
light would fill volume larger than the
United States census report, and heaven
only knows how much wickedness it has
done which the public has never heard Of
The notorious and filthy Mordaunt scandal,
in which the Prince of Wales and several
proft ssional libertiues were implicated,
gave the public sample glimpse of
| Its depraviiy. Later came the scandal
in which the youthful Marquis of Shrews-
| bury was the hero, his Iordship elop-
ing with Mrs. Mundy, a woman several
years his, senior, and subsequently, get
ing fogged most numerically by one OF the
lady's big brothers. The gossip occasioned
by The fiirtations of Lady Lonsdale and the
exirsyagance and debaucheries of her hus-
band, another distinguished member of the
Prince OF Wales set, will be easily recalled.
Indeed, from the immoral coterie have
sprung innumerable scandals, some of which
have lowered the haughtiest heads In En-
gland. 1t was in the princes circle that
Mrs. Langtry's social triumphs in London
we're won. She was favorite of the prince,
but has nevertheless always maintained
reputation as discreet and prudent woman,
and no one has hitherto said that her con-
duct has not always been sufficiently circum-
spect. But she appears TO haVe acquired at
least little of the frivolity characteristic of
the society in which she has moved. In this
country it is considered indelicate and
unlad ylike for an actress to firt with persons
in The audience. This Mrs. Langtry has
done, it is said and, in addition, she persists,
against the advice of friends, in keeping up
the acnuaintance thus irrfgularly formed.
She has been described as woman of refne-
meut and high breeding. II was scarcely
necessary TO lay aside these qualities when
| she BECAME an actress.

occupied the position of servant in the house
OF Pairs father. That two years ago Pair
induced her to yield 10 his lustful embraces,
and since that time their illicit relations have
been kept up. She says tina. Pair promised

ried another woman. The girl was discharged
when her condition hecim known, and took
refuge in the home OF Pairs aunt, who is
taking decided stand against him. Pair
denounces the charge as false, and says he

Twenty-siX thousand nine hundred and
thirty-seyen shares OF stock were repre-

Colonel A. :. Buford offered the follow
ing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas the value OF the properties now
owned by the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Railwayand Warehouse Company
is not adequately represented blythe capital
stock OF this company, such properties
having been acquired at far below their
cost and intrinsic worth rs parts Of the
Richmond and Danyile system; and
whereas the said properties have been
greatly enhanced in value by the
large increase in the business Of the
roads. the completion and improvement
OF unfinished lines, and the cOnsOlida-
ton of these interests under one har-
monious management (and their value is
rapidly incrcasing); and whereas by the eX-
pcnditurc OF a comparatively small amount
Of money in giving TO some OF the railroads
controlled by this company additional IA
cilitics required for the transportation OF
the increasing tralic which now offers from
connecting lines, it is believed that their
stocks will be quickly made diyidend-pay-
inc securities; now therefore be it
ReS0lCed, That the capital stock OF this
company shall be increased to Sl5,O00,00
and that every stockhOlder Of record on the
day fixed by the Board Of Directors for the
closing OF the transfer books shall have the
privilege OF subscribing for the new stock
on the basis of two additional shares OF
stock for every share Of stock then held by
him. The new stock shall be issued TO the
stockholders accepting this privilege upon
such terms rs shall be fixed 10y the Board.
The Board Of Directors are authorized TO
take all steps necessary TO carry out the OBJ
ject OF this resolution.
RcS0lred, That the Board OF Directors is
authorized 10 distribute such OF the stocks
or bonds Of this company as may not be
needed for the purpose OF controlling It's
various railroad lines amongst IFS stock
holders at such time rs may be deemed iu-
dicious, ana not inconsistent with the in
terest Of the company.
The meeting then adjourned till Satur-
