A COUPLE OF EN-.

The city was full of distinguished
foreigners yesterday. Among those
who attracted the most attention was
an East Indian from Lahore, named
Swamee PhaSkara Nand Saraswotee,
and another from Bombay, India,
named Navaraji Manlkji. The former
has been in this country for some time,
and of late has lived in Philadelphia.
He is in this country to acquire practl-
cal knowledge Of certain mechanical
industries, preparatory to introducing
them in India. He arrived i'll this city
Saturday evening in company with L. K.
Hurst. Philadelphia, and X. w. Burton, a
capitalist from London, England. The
party was driven out to the street rail-
way cable power house on Selby ave-
hue Yesterday morning, and in the
afternoon TO the one on East Seventh
street. The gentleman from India,
with the unprOnOunceable name,
stated that they had stopped in Chicago
on their way out here and examined the
cable system there, and from here eX-
peeted to go to Kansas City. He con-
templates introducing the cable system
in. Lahore if he finds it practicable, and
it is with this view that they are exam
lining the lines in operation in Ameri-
can cities. The party will probably
leave for Kansas City In the morning.
-
Navaraji Manikii is simply gentle
man bent on pleasure. While his home
is lin Bombay, he lives in London most
of the time. as he says the heat of his
native country is too much for him. He
speaks English like a native-bOrn Brit
Usher. and has that peculiar soft accent
which characteriZes them all. In speak
ing to GLOBE reporter yesterday he
said:

a ROYAL GARTER.

There was a travelling man at the
Ryan yesterday who had in his possess
ion quite novelty. 1t was handsome
silk garter embeliiShed with a gold
buckle and little gold bells that dangle
along the lower edges. The garter was
once worn by a German princess. 1t
must have been decidedly novel to go to
a ball or fashionable party where these
carriers were the prevailing fashion and
listen to thejingling sound Of the little
golden bell. The garter came into
the possession of the travelling
man in rather a peculiar way.
An old. though beSotted, acquaintance
was arrested in New York about a year
ago for being an habitual drunkard. lie
secured his release and the poor wretch
was so thankful that he gave him the
royal trinket as a token Of his appre-
citation. He had received the garter
from German refugee, who was once
dOorkeeper to a little museum i'll Ber-
lin. where no relies are kept except
,ssal carriers. It is run in conjunction
VIZ. the HohenZOlleTn museum founded
by William /. Carriers from all the
r0yal princesSes Wh0have been married
since 1877. can be found in this curious
museum. 1t is thought that the refugee
stole the garter, but the travelling man
Who now owns it, prizes it so highly

"Old Jed PrOuty."

The play that is to be done here at the
Newmarket theater tonight. under the
title of ''Old Jed Prouty," is the identi-
cal one, cast and scenery complete, that
lately did such heavy business at the
new California theater, San Francisco.
and that was the winters reigning sue
cess at the new Union Square theater,
New York. The piece is described as
being a comedy-drama of domestic life
of the Yankee. written by William Gill
and Richard Golden. The title role is
to be sustained by Mr.. Golden. .Jedediah
Prouty, the noted keeper of an inn at
Bucksport, Me, who died there in 1878,
ard Ola Jed Prouty in the Forthcoming
play. are one and the same. MI. Prouty
is chronicled as having been a Yankee
of uncommon horse sense, as well as a
fellow of infinite jest. He is now to be
held up as a model down-East Yankee,
of whom New Englanders can be proud.
The prevailing idiOtic type of Yankee
is expected to give place to the ap-
preaching one of the Prouty brand and
Bucksport vintage. 1t is certainly time
that the stage receives a more correct
conception of the New England Yankee
as he really exists. Messrs. Gill and
Golden's outline appears to have met
this issue in the required sense, for
they are reaping the thanks of asperSed
and misrepresented Yankeeland in the
form of crowded houses at all points,
