Not little ability ia needed to be d
dude. 1t takes considerable force Of
character to be willing TO pass for d
fool rather than TO give up ones con
victions. A striking illustration Of the
fact Of what q dude may be Is fur
nished By Prince Ferdinand Of Co
burg. When he assembled the much
disputed throne of Bulgaria the world
laughed at the idea that fop should
for moment think Of holding that
vexed seat. Now it is davning on the
public that Prince Ferdinand has
as good q grip Of his scepter as he had
on the fashions aforetime, and that to
get him oil the Bulgarian throne moth
ing short Of a general European war
would suffice He has gone quietly
and determincdly forward, and, with
the persistence and concentration he
learned as a dude, he has made him

be regarded as q type, and, while there
must still be those who consider the
energies OF one Of these elegant crea
lures as misapplied, IN the face OF

Manager William H. Eckert said he did
not expect to see any radical change in the
form of the telephone, save perhaps a con-
trivance to hold the receiver to the ear and
leave the listener both hands free. He
laughed when asked as to the practical use
of telephone audible to a person sitting
several feet away frcIn the Instrument.
"That has been perfected" he said, ''but no
body cares for it. We were all amused ank
delighted with the invention when it wal
first shown, but after awhile it was agreed
by experts that the thing was not likely to
be of practical value No one cares to have
a thing in his Office that will talk right out

none in use, as far as know."-New York

before the groom can claim his bride-first
the marriage at the mayors Office, or civil
