Georgian Princes with Autediluvian Pedi-
grees Make 1t Interesting for Him.
London Cable Special to PIttsburg Dispatch.
A letter from your correspondent at TiAis
gives interesting details of the time the Russian
Emperor has been having among the old
Georgian noblemen. The Russian officers are
the merest upstairs and psrvsnus compared to
the princely families of Georgia. Some of these
trace their ancestry as far back ss David by
his union with the wife OF Uriah; others con-
sider themselves derived from q very dis
tinguished Jewish captive Of Nebuchadnezzar, .
gentleman of the tribe of judah; and one I'M
usually pretentious family, before whom the
blue-bloods OF Boston and Philadelphia must
bow their heads in hopeless inferiority, Prince
Bagration Mukransky, goes unblushingly
back to the time Of Adam and Eve. But,
unlike most OF Us who make the same
prstense, his folks have been rulers and mug
wumps generally of any locality they lived in
ever since that time. All these individuals,
however. seemed to have delighted to honor the
Car who. though 20 painfully deficient rs re.
CARDS genealogy, could easily send all these
swelIs to finish their gorgeous careers in Siberia
These mobiles organized q grand ball attheir clut-
house on the Gulovinski prospect, and it is this
ball which your correspondents attended and OF
which he writes most at length.
1t seems the costumes of the men are marvels
OF outlandish brilliaucy, and the men them
selves are very fine. But the women. with few
exceptions, are plain and embarrassing. One Of
the exceptions. however, was very marked. She
was Princess Eristoff, who appeared in the cos
tune of the country and danced before the Em-
peror \ dance which is very famous out there,
and which they call the lesghinka. The motive Of
this dance is to give some idea of what love il
like, OF the way in which a woman draws a man
on and then gets out Of the way at
the critical moment. The Princess appears to
to have been successful and to have delighted
everybody very much. A striking feature Of
the dance, which seems to have no particular
step in it. is the ability displayed by the dancer
to move from one spot to another by q sort OF
patter of the feet without any apparent motion
Of the arms Of legs. This Is an art which Sara
Bernhardt occasionally displays, aud which was
also exhibited by some small-sized Nautch girls
who once danced before some New York report
ers aud Jumbo, under the supervision OF Bar
nuns lieutenant. To-day, at Hamilton, eight
strange musicians played while the Princess
danced. A tambouriue, a guitar, o queer man
dolIn played by q boy, a drum and a flute, were
some of the instruments used. The Princess
was 10 a dress Of light blue and silver, as CIR
cassisn girls are painted in front Of American
dime museums. A sort of muslin turbau decor
ated her head, the ends falling back to her
waist, and a broad red stripe running down the
front of her dress made a very curious costume,
and explains the delight which his Majesty
deigned to exhibit.

LONDON, Oct. 2Z.-The Whitechapel murderer

his mol bid admirers will be gone. As popular
excitement wanes, however, the vigilance of the

Yerkes and His Imported Workmep.

CHICAGO. Oct. ga strike by the recently
imported employees Of the Yerkes street-car sys-

held q very unsatisfactory conference
with President Yerkes to-day, and
then called q meeting for Tuesday night,
10 canvass the situation. Until Yesterday the
men who were brought here from Philadelphia
and Kansas City during the big strike took it
for granted that the transportation to Chicago
WAS at the expense of Mr.. Yerkes, and that the
board furnished in the barracks by the
company was to be paid for by Mr.. Yerkes.
Yesterday the 200 new men were paid for the
first time aud found that the fare 10 Chicago
and board from the time of arrival here had
been deducted. In addition. each man
was asked to sign a contract agree
ing to work for 81 a dav, o less
amount than the men are working for. Only a
few signed the contract. An unexplained
feature Of the affair is the fact that all the Old
