The Sorrowlul Wife Of the Prince of
Wales Is Bald and Ugly.

New York sun.
"How can the Princess of Wales regard
this Pail Mall Gazette scandal, in which
her husband is said to be involved?' was
the interrogation an acquaintance OF mine
put to an English gentleman now at the
Hoffman House.
II imagine it makes no outward differ
ence. but privately she must feel it plog-
nantly,' was the reply. "Our people have
long regarded the Princess as an unhappy
woman and a broken hearted wife. Her
sweet face and gentle ways have endeared
her to us all, but she never smiles. Her
pale eatures are II mask that hide every
feeling"
"What is the cause OF such chronic dejec-
tion?' | interrupted. 81 have heard OF
course, that her early married years were
far from happy; but thought all that was
outlived and that her family had solaced
and cheered her"

man never can forget-wrongs that sink
into the heart Wales and Alexandria were
badly matched. and that's fact. And
how she has aged. Why, she's pad and i'm
itation all over. That must vex her, too;
to be compelled to stand comparison by
the side OF scores OF famous beauties, with
the consciousness that society knows she is
bald and wears a wig-one OF fifty she has
in her collection; that her fine neck is dis
figured with irreradicablc sores, which her
high collar scarcely hides that her joints
are full of rheuma tism, and that not even
her artistically built cork heel can conceal
the limp that has become historic. Poor
lady! She had enough troubles beforethese

PAYING THE PENALTY.
"A Doctor Ends HIS Existence the
GallOws.

AUBURN, N. V, August 21.-FrAnk Jos
eph Petmekey this morning suffered the ex
treme penalty of the law for the murder OF
Mrs. Pauline Froutzheim, June l, 1888
The crime was first discovered when the
husband of the victim returned from his
days labor and found the mutilated
corpse OF his wife lying in IL pool OF blood
upon the floor, her brains being beaten out
with tho blunt edge OF d hatchet. The ex-
amining physician testified that over
twenty blows had been dealt with the
weapon. The murderer was captured on
the following day in Albany. The prisoner
admitted having killed the woman and put
in a plea OF self-defense. He claims she
sought the interview and urged him to
elope with her, but on learning that he was
already married she flew into a rage and
drew a revolver upon him, and that he
defended himself with hatchet. After the
commission OF the crime he rifed the house
OF everything in the shape Of jewelry or
money. and the theory OF the prosecution
was that he went to the house merely for
the purpose OF robbery, but that upon
being confronted by the woman he felt COM
PEELED to put her out of the way. The
prisoner was handsome, finely pro-
portioned physician, "a years OF age and
came to this country when he was $ years
of age.
The death warrant was read in the cell
at 10 o'clock, and shortly afterwards the
prisoner stood beneath the gallows. He
appeared unmoved when asked ii he had
anything to say. Father '|lrich replied
saying that the prisoner wished to confess
that he was justly punished for the crime
committed. He asked the forgiveness OF
all he had scandalized or caused pain and
died willingly in the hope of salvation.
The moose and black cap were then ad-
justed At 1923 O'Clock the weight fell.
His neck was dislocated, and at 1O:45 the
physicians pronounced him dead. He left
instructions as to the disposition OF his
body, and the burial took place in the
Catholic cemetery this afternoon. About
300 persons witnessed the execution.

reports the British ship ''Haddingtonshire'
from Astoria, Oregon, for Liverpool, with a
cargo of flour and salmon is ashore OIL
Point Reyes, forty miles north OF this

ceived the following particulars OF the loss

The vessel left Astoria on July 9th; got
down AS far as the equator, when she
struck heavy gale which so disabled her
as to obIige the captain to put back to San
Francisco for repairs. In that gale she lost
four seamen and her chronometer. When
off this port last night she encountered a
dense fog, and while cropping about ran on
the rocks, near Point Reyes at O'Clock
this morning. The vessel and cargo are a
total wreck All aboard, except one sailor
and the cabin boy, were drowned. The
cargo consisted of 10000 barrels OF flour,

tigate the different bureaus OF the Treasury
Department, with a view to the reduction
OF the expense and the improvement OF the

ical force and one or two radical changes
in he present system of business.

The Morality Procession and Demon-
stratiOM In LOnil0n.

LONDON, August 22.-The morality dem
onstration at Hyde Park this afternoon
promises to be attended by an enormous
crowd. Contingents for the parade have
been all day converging at various points
with banners, bands and numberless
wagons, loaded with women, all displaying
the greatest enthusiasm. The weather is
fine and thousands OF people have assem-
bled at the park to await the commencing
OF the demonstration.
THE CEREMONIES.
At 4:2O o'clock the Hyde Park meeting
had equalled in numbers the great assem-
blage which gathered at the same place
some months ago to make demonstration
in favor OF the enlarged franchise bill
Thousands are on their way in the pro-
cession to the park. One OF the wagons in
the procession carried twenty-four little
girls dressed in white. These girls held
aloft banner bearing the inscription
''Shall the innocents be slain?' Another
cart carried a large fac simile of the Queens
letter to Mrs. General Booth, approving
the Salvation Army's work in rescuing
young girls from vice.
The East End contingent OF the process
sion started towards Hyde Park promptly
at i O'Clock. This body had three bands
and carried sixty banners, all having in
scribed on them such matters as 'Save our
daughters etc. The cart which carried
the enlarged copy OF the Queens letter was
given the middle place in the line OF the
East End contingent. This body had in
line no less than twenty four-horse wagons.
With the exception OF the one bearing the
twenty four girls under 13 years Of age and
dressed in white, the wagans were laden
with women dressed in the deepest mourn
ing. The vehicles themselves were all
heavily draped with black. Following the
wagons were about 1000 men on foot. All
traffic had to be suspended during the pro-
gress OF the procession along it's entire
route.
THOSE WHO PARADED.
The demonstration included the temper
ance socities, Good Templars, Band OF
Hope, Salvation Army and various trade
and labor societies, the ladies of the
national socities in wagons and Young
mems Christian Association from nine
sections Of the metropolis, besides excur-
sion parties from the provinces, number
ing many thousands Bands headed each
contingent. Numberless banners were
carried. Ten platforms were improvised
around the reformer's tree i'll Hide Park.
Resolutions were passed simultaneously at
the platforms pledging the meeting to assist
in enforcing the provisions OF the criminal
amendment act. The affair was decided
success. A large crowd was present, but
the entire proceedings were orderly.
AN IMMENSE THRoNG.
One hundred and fifty thousand persons
attended the morality demonstration in

Poarce's Row.

LONDON, August 20.-The London news
papers generally denonnce the Pail Nal
Gazette for refusing to publish the letter OF
Miss NJ. A. Francis, exonerating Mr.. Pearce
from the charge OF having enticed her from
her home recently published in the Gazette.
The solicitor for Pearce published q letter
in which he says that he has been in
structed by his client to refrain from prose
cutting the girls father on the charge OF
common assault and battery for the cane
ing he inflicted on Mr.. Pearce the other
day on the alleged ground OF his betrayal,
as cruelty to the young lady, because OF
the trivial penalty which would attend
conviction, but to prosecute him on a
far graver charge. The solicitor asks the
public to suspend judgment on the whole
case until it's merits can be developed by
the courts.

AN OLD HULK FIRE.

out on the forward deck of the col

burning up the planks to get the iron
spikes; sI ess On the right of the Colorado was
The "Susquehanna," to which the flames
spread rapidly, and before either it or the
colorado could be towed out the flames
spread to the other boats. All burned like
tlnder, and the sky was red for miles
around. The heat was SO intense that it
was impossible to get anywhere near the
burning ships, while the cracking of the
flames sounded like the sharp crack of mus
kerry The flames swept along the decks and
bulwarks OF the ships and eat their way up
the shrouds into the rigging The picture

lined against a bank OF inky clouds was one
long to be remembered. The fire burned so
fiercely that within three hours nothing
was left of the once defenders of the United
States, but few charred planks and float
ing timbers. The hulls sank at once to the
bottom, going down with hiss and gurgle,
amid cloud OF steam from the water as it
swept over the burning wrecks. The "Colo-
rado' was the first to sink, and almost as
the water closed over her, the mast from
the ''Minnesota' toppled over on the
Congress- and together they sought the
sandy bottom of the sound. The ''Susque-
hanna burst loose from her moorings
and at one time the various fish
ing crafts anchored along the shore
appeared to be in danger. She foated
about fifty yards from the shore, and after
trembling for d moment keeled over and
sank. The "South Carolina" and "Iowa"
followed her to the bottom in short order,
but before going down the flames spread
from the "Iowa" to the "Lotta Grant"
and Fair Play" two schooners lying near
the shore, and they too sank. Who the
owners of the schoOners are could not be
ascertained, as the crews became so mixed
up in the crowd OF spectators that they
could not be found. Mr.. StanDard, in con-
versatiOn with a reporter, said: "The lass
to me is not less than 100000, as it was
only for the iron in them that | bought
them. Had the boats been serviceable

STATUES WITH FIG LEAVES.
Very Nice, Modest People Shocked by
Figures In John HOey's Garden.

New YORK, August 22.-The latest ap-
peal to Anthony Comstock is that he will
protect the summer dwelers at Long
Branch from seeing the statuary in John
Hoey's famous park. This is private pro-
perty, but the owner keeps its gates open
most OF the time, and so it serves the pur-
poses of a public resort. The adornments
are said to exceed in beauty and cost any
thing else of the kind in America. The hot
house and open gardening is wonderful;
and this season some limitations OF Persian
rugs, done extensively by setting out low
plants of the requisite colors in close ad-
herence to the Oriental patters, draw
crowds OF visitors daily.
Scattered through the park are life-size
pieces of statuary, and several OF these are
nude male figures, such as usually are pre-
pared for promiscuous public view by some
thing OF the g-leaf nature. Staid cottagers
and some clergymen have written to Com
stock that these statues are within his
province, and that he ought to take action
against them as obscene things. But they
remain conspicuous in the favorite drive
way of the most fashionable bellies and
beaux, and Mr.. Hoey laughs at the sug-
gestion OF their removal or observation.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 22.-The steamer
''Mariposa" arrived from Honolulu, Sand
wich Islands, to-day bringing the news that
the schooner "Pohoiki" during a sudden
squall, capsized off the coast OF Hawaii
near the Kan district. All on board were
thrown into the water Two OF the crew
managed to get into the boat, which they
had been towing astern the schooner and
rescued two other sailors, but the captain,
his wife and child and two members OF the
crew were attacked by sharks and drawn
under the water before rescuers were able to
reach them. No names could be learned.

Smithsonian Institute.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-The collection
OF gems belonging to the Smithsonian In
stitute, which was recently exhibited at the
New Orleans Exhibition has just been put
in the National Museum for the first time.
1t is not the largest or most valuable one
in the United States, although it may be al
the end OF four years OF Democratic re-
trenchment and reform.
Among it's treasures is one little nugget
Of gold little bigger than a pea. 1t is the
most remarkable piece OF metal in
the worlds history. 1t is the first glittering
particle OF gold that met the eyes Of James
Marshall, the discoverer OF gold in Califor-
MIA, who died recently old, poor and mis-
anthrophic. Marshall's find OF that bit OF
mineral in 1S49 near Marysville, Gala, has
added to the gold OF the world nearly ST.
