KnoTylls Tribune, 20.
There isa well known legend which
says that an enormous amount Of gold
and silver coin was sealed up in pot and
hidden in q cave somewhere in the vicin-
ity OF Knoxville more than half century
ago. In those days there was in East Ten
nesee a band Of murderers and robbers
known as the Harps. They were ter
rornot only 70 all East Tennessee, but 10
people Of adjoining States, and to travellers
through this region. They were ten times
worse than The james gang Of to-day.
Tradition says that the Harp brothers and
.heir associates hid vast amount OF
money in a large iron pot 10 cave some
where near Knoxville. Ii is generally
supposed that Che treasure was secreted In
the ellis south of the river and about A
mile nom the city. In later years many
people have sport much time IN searohirg

been dug into ukela Clif and into the

MARY AND THE PRINCE.
Miss AndersOn's Embarrassing
Interview with His Royal
Highness.

A London cable dispatch says: 1t
has leaked out that the Prince Of
Wales base allied Mary Anderson to
account for her reported utterances
concerning him. At the interview
which took place the other night al
the Lyceum Theater, the first question
biurted out by His Royal highness
was: rs it true that you said you
wouldn't see meY
Miss Anderson replied with a great
deal Of apparent embarrassment: 81
said that | would not seek the honor"
This was so apparent en- evasion
that a great deal Of comment has been
passed in high quarters, and society
circle5 profess themselves to be pro-
lourjly astonished at the lack Of
spirit shown by the Princess OF Wales
in honOring Miss Anderson with her
presence al one Of her represents

The Princess before deciding to in-
yite Miss Anderson to the royal box
sent for Mr.. Griffin, her manager, and
questioned him closely concerning, the
lady's repertoire, the number Of years
she bad been on the stage. etc. The
Princess then intimated that she
wished 10 see Miss Anderson and re-
quested Mr. Griffin to send her 10.
Miss Anderson, who under the cir
eumstloes did not particularly relish
the meeting, sent back word that she
had made il rule never TO see out
siders during a performance, aud that
even on this occasion she preferred
not to break IL. She said, however,
that she would be most happy to meet
III -ir Royal Highness when she had
flushed her performance. The
Princess then said: 1--WE never wait
after the end Of a piece" and the ne
gotiatlons apparently closed.
The piece went on and the royal
party remained, and when it was over
Miss Anderson was surprised by her
manager, who came with the an

Jules Claretie, the most able and

private life, until her smallest actions,
her caprices and her fancies are the
talk Of the whole civilized world.
Amazing upon the stage, she is puz

lid she combines the constitution Of
steel, and is able to wear out, 90 her
provincial tours, the endurance Of the
whole troupe, without a moment Of
fatigue, arriving in unknown towns an
hour before the performance, without
knowing where the theater is, how it
is built What is its size or acoustic

gayly upon the stage she has never
trodden before she rushes into the
