a good many society people who at
tended the grand ball at the Gait house,
given in honor of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis, will be interested in the
news from St Petersburg that that hand
some prince has been disgraced and ex-
lied to Siberia Alexis has been con-
Quoting a "firtation" so open and shame
less with the Countess Zenaide de Beau
harnais, wife of the Duke de Leuchten-
berg, that he has been deprived of hit
office of lord high admiral of the feet
and shorn Of his other honors and exiled
besides-at least the dispatch says so,
though it looks Incredible. The lovely
countess has been given permission to
leavet the empire for an indefinite period.
When Alexis visited this country he
was the recipient of a constant round Of
social attentions. He was in Louisville
in 1872, / think, and the ball given in
his honor was one of the mot brilliant
in the history Of the city. The bellies of
kentucky We'd with each other in their
efforts to secure the favor of this scion
of royalty. Alexis made n good impress
sion while in this country, and seemed to
be very much Of a gentleman, even If he
was a descendant OF an efTete monarchy.
A poor lady living in Henry county went
insane on the subject of the princes visit
to Louisville, and imagined herself en-
gagged to him. Her friends could never
up to the day Of her death relieve her Of
the hallucinHtiOn that she was the prom
ised bride of Alexis. She would fire.
quently come to Louisville TO look for
him and prepa' s<s. the wedding. She
went by the name of 1.-The Princess Lu
cinda." and was Of a good family

Sharks Pass Through the Canal.

Before the Isthmus of Suez was pierced
by the canal there were almost no sharks
in the Mediterranean, the passage
through the Straits of Gibraltar not
being to their liking. Now, however,
they come in by way of the canal, and
in such numbers that in more than one
watering place, and especially on the
Adriatic, the sign has gone up, Beware
2f Sharks. Chicago Tribune.

A Desperate Case of Suicide.

The Palmer house has been very un-
fortunate in thcnumber of tragic deaths.
1t will be just thirteen years ago to-mor-
row that one of the most sensational and
carefully planned suicides in the history
of self destruction occurred at the hotel.
Frederick Addison Jeffrey was the vic
tim. He was said to have been a mem
Der of tho firm of WyckhofT & Jeffrey,
Of Peoria. He occupied a parlor Don
on the eastern extension of the corridor.
Early on the 9th of July his body was
found suspended over the bath tub in his
suite. The tub was filed with warm
water and contained the charred frag-
ments of combustibles ignited by Jeffrey
just before killing himself. When dis
covered n stiletto was found plunged
into his left breast, his throat was cut
from ear to ear, n pistol hung by n cord
within easy reach, beside it a pearl han
died razor. His body hung by n stout
cord fastened to the ceiling. He had
saturated his clothing with kerosene SO
it would be easily iGnited from tho COM
bustibles in the tub. He turned on the
water as he wrote n letter, and when the
rope he was hanging by would be burned
through he would fall into the tub and
burn to a crisp. The ~coroner's jury
was unable to tell which killed him.

San FRANCISCO Fruit-Market.

The Alta of Aug. 22d, says: Our
markets are so overstocked with
fruits that wagonload after wagon
load have been dumped into the bay
during the week. It is really a pity
that something cannot be done to
make away with the fruit without
throwing it into the bay. There are
certainly enough poor families in the
city who would be glad to relieve
dealers of their surplus stocks, if
they would allow them to have the
fruit or vegetables before the stocks
become unfit for use. 1t is stated
that between 800 and 1900 crates of
cantaloupes were deposited in the
bay since Sunday, and all the Or
phan Asylums in the city are being
supplied gratuitously. The amount
of stuff that has, accumulated should
have tendency to check shipments
to this market and compel this dump
ing system to be discontinued.

THE DAILY
MAXWELL PLANTATION.

The new sugar plantation which
is going to be started on Kauai
will be big thing for the Wal
mea district of that island. The
plantation will be on the long slop-
ing lands which extend to the east
ward of the Waimea valley from the
upper part of which the water sup
ply will have to be obtained. This
means a considerable amount of en-
glneering, but once the difficulty is
overcome, an area Of 1000 to 5000
acres can be cultivated and the soil
is known to be extremely fertile. At
present in that part of Kauai are the
Kekaha, Waimea and Eleele planta-
tons, none of which can rank with
the large plantations of Maui or Ha-
Wall. The new plantation, however,
gives promise of being one Of the
largest; for unlike it's neighbors it
will command a vast acreage of
sugar land and an inexhaustible
water supply. A large plantation
will mean much larger trade be-
tween Honolulu and Waimea and
the putting on of a direct steamer.
At present to reach Waimea, passen-
gers have to be on board the steamer
for twenty-four to thirty-six hours,
as the vessel touches at all ports
along the coast. We presume, there
fore, that the news of the starting of
the new plantation will be received
with much joy by all residents in
the Waimea district.

A Life Saving Improvement.

An important improvement is
chronicled in our marine life saving
service. After March, 1890, ali
steam vessels will be required to
carry a life line rocket. Heretofore
the line rocket appliance has been
confined to life saving service on
shore. A rocket, to which line
was attached, was fired from a NOR
tar gun to the ship in distress.
Sometimes the line became entan-
gled out of reach and was of no use.
Sometimes the aim missed alto
gether. Now, however, the rocket
and line will be on board the vessel,
and can be fired thence to the shore.
At Washington a rocket has been
tested which carries a line 1000
yards. With appliances like this, it
does not seem that a ships crew
need very often be lost before the
eyes of those on shore, who are I'M
sble to help them.

PUSHING WORK AT GREYTOwN.

The Nicaragua Canal and Con-
struction Company are pushing
ahead upon their great undertaking
with all possible vigor. The mis-
takes of the Panama Canal Com
pany have been many and marked,
and the Nicaragua Company is pro-
fitting by them. Especially is this so
as to sanitary conditions, which at
the latter place are upon scale of
excellence never provided at Aspin-
wall and along the sickly Chagres,
while the need along the route OF
the proposed canal at Nicaragua is
in no way comparable with that on
the Isthmus of Panama. A large
number of workmen from the unfin-
ished ditch at Aspinwall have found
their way to Greytown, where the
first work on the canal is being
done, and are rapidly being set to
work, at rate of wages better than
they received before, besides which
they are supplied with food by the
company, of the most wholesome
and substantial quality, with due
regard to the climatic conditions of
the location.
In addition to this, portable build
ings in great number have been
shipped from New York, and, as
rapidly as possible, accommodations
of the very best kind are being pro
vided for the workmen, it being the
belief of the company that better re-
suits can be obtained from perfect
condition of sanitary arrangements
wholly under the care of the COM
pany than if their people were left
to themselves to devise plans for
their health and comfort. Pure water
will be obtainable at an early
date at Greytown, as two large
reservoirs are projected, and will be
completed as soon as practicable.
Steamship communication will either
be established by the company, be-
tween New York and Greytown, or
private enterprise will undertake to
supply the construction company
with frequent and regular communi-
cation, in conjunction with other
Central American ports. In addi-
tion to this it is intended to estab
lish steamship service between Brito,
the Pacific seaport of the Canal, and
San Francisco, for the purpose OF
bringing supplies and Implements
for those engaged on the work.
The true business-like character OF
the enterprise is seen in the absence
of loud talking, bombastic display OF
clap-trap of any kind, and by the
quiet, steady manner in which work
is being pushed, and PREPARATIONS
made for the completion of the cana
within the least time possible, to
which end, work will at once be com
menced at the western side, at Brito
and later, no doubt, Lake Nicaragua
will be the basis of two separate
companies, one working toward the
east, and the other toward the west
It is confidently predicted that the
canal will be completed by the year
1894, and possibly before that, if {
sufficient number of capable men are
obtained to carry on the work as de
sired.
The contrast between the manner
of conducting operations on the
Nicaraguan route, and that which
marked the management of the
failure at Panama, clearly proves
that Yankee shrewdness is going tt
discount French enthusiasm, anc
!, that the American will be the first tx
} complete a canal that will unite the
} Atlantic with the Pacific.

THOUGHT READING AND JACK THE
RIPPER,

A very practical test of thought
reading" is about to be, or has been
by this time, given. Mr.. Stuart
Cumberland, the celebrated thought
reader, says he has Z" in his minds
eye, Horatio," seen the Whitechapel
fend, and thus describes him: g His
face was thinnish and oval in shape.
Eyes dark and prominent, showing
plenty of white. The brow was
narrow and chin somewhat pointed.
The complexion was sallow-some-
what between that of a Maltese and
a Psrsee. The nose was somewhat
Semitic in shape, and formed pro-
minent feature of the face. The for
nation of the mouth j could not
very we'll see: it was shaded by a
black moustache. Beyond the hair
on the upper lip the face was bare.
It was not a particularly disagree
able face, but there was wild in
tensity about the dark full eyes that
fascinated me as I gazed into
them. They were the eyes of mes
merist! The man of my dream wore
a short-crowned chimney-pot hat; he
stopped in his shoulders, and al
though there was wiry look about
such portion of his figure that was
visible to me, he did not have the
appearance of a man of muscular
build"
This is certainly detailed enough,
and if, when the man is caught, he
comes up to this description, we shall
begin to think that there really is
something in thought reading, or that
Mr.. Cumberland knows more about
Jack the Ripper than the police do.
The thought reader further hazards
the opinion that the murderer will
commit one more crime and then be
caught. This is certainly throw
ing down the gauntlet on be
half Of the so-called art with ven
geance. Better have him out here
to investigate some of the crimes on
Hawaii and Maui, which have 50
long bafied the sheriffs.
