the Secretary, who, il he approves that con-

question and directs him to bring the same to the
attention OF that government-to the end that
justice may be done. The demand is enforced
with more or less vigor. according to the cir
cumstances and merits of the case. Usually
however, these cases are amicably settled. The
examination OF claims forms but small part
OF his regular work. which corresponds quite
closely with that of the solicitor of the Treas
ury Department He passes upon all sorts OF
legal questions that affect the work Of the de-
partment and his work Of necessity often verges
upon the more strictly diplomatic work OF the

From 1885 to 1888 he was attorney and financial
manager of the Vermont Marble Company.
When the President called Gov. Proctor to his
councils as Secretary of War Mr.. Partridge was
travelling in Europe, but upon his return, at
the request OF The Secretary, with whom he had
before been in confidential relations, he tenn
porariiy became his private secretary. He
worked like Trojan and did much that is
now devolving upon the new assistant secre-
tary. So popular did he become with the serv-
ice men that when the new office was created
he was urged by number of them for the
place. The President, however, preferred to
put him in the office vacated by the death Of
Walker Blaine last winter. and it is here that
he is now working with his accustomed energy
and skill. He was appointed June 10 last

ROYALTY ARRESTED.
Prince George Locked Up After Street
Fight in Montreal.

Prince George showed his British pluck
his getting into serious scrape. The whole
story has been carefully kept from the public
and all questions are met with official denial
After the Academy reception on Wednesday
Prince George returned to his hotel, changed
his dress suit and started out with one of his
heutenants and a local nabob to do the town.
While passing the corner of ST. Constan and
La Ganchetierre streets the trio were accosted
by number Of ruffans, who asked for money.
Before they had time to comply with the re-
quest the prince and his friends were attacked
Just how it happened is not known, but in
moment the prince and his friends were en-
gagged in q rough-and-tumbie fight with six Of
their assailants. The Montreal nabob was soon
laid low and for few moments things looked
bad, for the prince and the officer found six to
two were big odds. Then the prince and lieu
tenant got back to back and, handling
their fists with true British pugilistic science
astonished the roughs. Three Of these fell be-
fore the scientific hitting of royalty alone,
while his companion laid two low and the
sixth took to flight Had matters ended here
everything would have been lovely. But they
did not. For along came two Of Montreal's
most stupid French hobbies" who, seeing six
men lying on the sidewalk and two others
bending over them, arrested and took them all
to the station, in spite Of the protests OF the
prince. They were all, of course, considerably
battered and tough looking as a result OF the
fray. No protests or requests could obtain re-
lease, and they locked up the royal prisoner.
Finally the sergeant OF police consented to
telephone for Col Hughes, the chief Of police,
who came to the station house, recognized tho
prince and Immediately released him. Hum
bic apologies followed and u hack was called
for the prince and his friend, who. accom-
panied by an escort, were driven back TO tho
hotel.

From the Boston Courier.
The coming game Of cards in Boston seems
to be the German game of seat, which is by no
means new but which for some unaccountable
reason seems to be having revival, or rather
to be in the way Of being taken up, especially
among the young men. As there is every
prospect that during the coming winter there
will be an increase Of the interest it behooves
those who desire to keep up with the times in
this particular to devote their leisure this sum-
mer to consideration of the intricacies Of thi .
game.

A SNOBBiSH CUSTOM.
Giving Wives Their Husbands Titles
Until 1t Becomes Absurd.

N. M. Trumbull in the Open Court.
The tawdry fashion OF giving a woman her
husbands title has spread from Washington
to Tombstone. 1t has changed our pride into
vanity, and shriveled up courtesy while try
ing to expand it. The papers are to blame for
some of this, because the bride of a chicken
bone and glass OF wine will turn "our
special reporter" into a Jenkins in yellow
plush livery, and with footman's rapture
he will tell us that MRS. Commissioner Biggs

which we noticed Mrs. Gen. Diggs and the
charming Mrs. Alderman Eggs, accompanied
by her beautiful daughter, Mrs. Senator

with Mrs. Representative Riggs" and 30 down

AN ALLEGED ELOPEMENT.
A Member Of Parliament Denies
Scandaious Story.

No sooner has the gossip connected with tho
strange ante-nuptial escapade of Miss Nettie
Carpenter subsidized than another, and this time
a serious scandal, has given London society
another opportunity to marvel at the eccentrici-
ties of the American woman. This time the
gossip affects Mrs. Rosenberg, daughter of
q well-known merchant in New York named
Fairchild, who is credited with having cloped
with James Bigwood, member Of parliament
for Brcntford, and who is a wealthy owner of
extensive vinegar works in Bristol, Wales, Jer-
sey and London.
At Mr.. Bgwood's villa on the Thames II was
stated that he was Oh the continent, as also
we're his wife and daughter, though they were
not together. MIR. Bigwood WAS. however
seen at his counting room at Islington, and
though he admitted that he and his wife had
not been living together for some time, he
laughed at the Idea of his having eloped with
Mrs. Rosenberg. He said that he was an ill.,
innate friend OF both her and her husband,
and that he had been with them OH the CONT
nent Mrs. Rosenberg had accompanied him
on the return voyage, but her husband was
fully acquainted with her movements.
