WHY PRINCE GEORGE DIDN'T GO.
English Politics Would Have Had a
Sensation II He Had.

II Is positively asserted, says a New York
SPECIAL to the Baltimore Sun, by an Englishman
of eminent official consideration in this country
that the failure Of Prince George of Wales to
visit Newport was the result of a direct pro-
hibition from his father. 1t may be remem-
bered that some years ago q story got into
print according to which it was proposed to
marry one Of the young princes to an American
heiress. The report was absurd upon it face.
but it travelled and kept persistently alive
Probably no one in America believed it, but in
England it aroused perfect howl of indigna-
ton. The idea that wives for the princes
could not be found AT home set the lighter
witted Britons, who will swallow any fable to
the discredit Of America. fairly crazy, espe-
cially as IL came directly upon the
marriages OF number Of titled
or socially prominent Englishmen with
of good many English girls without that de-
sirabe commodity. So violent did the express
sion of popular opinion on the subject become
that tire court found it actually expedient to
authorize what amounted to an official denial
of it in order to secure its own peace of mind
1t is to avoid another such explosion, saws this
authority, that an interdct was placed by the
Prince of Wales upon his sons acceptance of
the wild hurrah OF Inequalities with which the
royal Americans Of Newport proposed to re-
ceive him. 1t was not feared that some Ameri-
can girl would capture the prince and elope
with him, but IL was anticipated that the mere
fact of his accepting these American attentions
would give the anti-Amsrican party in England
an excuse for new and annoying outbreak
against the court, and arouse the opposition
party in the colonies to vindictive fury.

HAIL THAT WAS HAIL.
How Four Minnesota Travellers Were
Gashed.

Cashier Smith and Vice President Collins Of
the Cottonwood County Bank of Window,
Mimi, barely escaped with their own and their
wives lives in the hail storm at Spirit Lake on
Sunday. They had driven from Window in the
morning and were within ten rods of Gran
dall's Lodge when the storm struck them. The
team was driven by the hail into wire fence
and probably ruined, while the people were
pelted with hail stones until they were black
and blue under their clothing and had great
gashes in their heads. The gentlemen were
the most seriously hurt and the aid OF surgeons
was necessary to stitch up the gashes. They all
came home by rail yesterday morning, but are in
u frightful condition. The force of the storm
was SO great that leather valise in the carriage
was cut full Of holes.

THEY RAWHIDED THE COUNT
Mrs. Price and Her Sister Beat Gallant
Achille Vidal.

Count Achille Vidal, who two weeks ago was
nearly pounded to death by Sol Price and the
latter's burly brother, received vigorous cow
hiding Sunday night in Chicago. The punish
ment was received at the hands OF Mrs. Price
and her sister. The count, who il a notorious
gallant received a daintily written note, signed
Marie, making an appointment at $3.50 o'clock.
He was on hand to NEE. the fair unknown,
when he was confronted by the two women,
who began to lay on the rawhides. With .
shrek Of pain Vidal beat hasty and ungrace.

A few weeks ago the count was compelled BY
Sol Price to take a midair jump from second
story window, and later had his beauty dis
figured in fight. Until Sunday the count
had disappeared from public gaze. So had
Mrs. Price, whose freshness had caused all the
trouble. Mr.. Price sued for divorce from his
wife the day after he forced the gay count to
jump through the window, but it would seem
that he has since patched up the difficulty
with the gay Mrs. Price, and she has been re-
stored to her old place in his affections,

RUSsIA's FAIR NIHILTsT.
Mrs. Rather Emigrates to America After
Spending Three Years In Siberia.

Considerable interest conferred last week at
the barge Office in New York in pretty black
eyed woman who landed as q steerage passen-
ger from the Netherlands American steamer
OLDHAM She was Mrs. Annie Rather, from st.
Petersburg, who was released only three
months ago from political prison in the wiIds
OF Siberia. Mrs. Rather, who IL only twenty
four years old, carried in her arms
plump baby twenty months old, which
was born while its mother was toiling
with her captive husband in the Siberian
mines. Mrs. Rather is highly educated woman
and graduate OF the University Of st. Peters
burg According to her story, which she told
In the Russian language to interpreter Major
Semsey, she was married four years ago to DR..
hatner,a wealthy physician living in st. Peters,
burg They lived happily until the govern
ment contiscated all Of DR.. Ratner's property
without assigning any reason for the outrage.
DR.. Rather appealed to the car, but that po-
tentate refused to do nything and the police
laughed in the physicians face.
The physician began to speak against the
government at nihilistic meetings. He was ar
rested more than thrco years ago and sentenced
to five years Imprisonment at hard labor in q
Siberian penal settlement. Mrs. Rather was
sentenced to three years, and was released
three months ago. after serving her
full term. DR.. Rather has still two years and
nine months to serve. For their labor
in the mines Mrs. Rather said her husband and
herself received twelve rubles each per month,
and after the child was born four rubles extra
per month were allowed for its support She
said ordinary prisoners were allowed only eight
rubles monthly. but because of the positions
held by DR.. Rather and herself, and on account
of their being university graduates, they were
given more.
Mrs. Rather had but s5 when she landed.
She was bound for Wichita, Kan, where her
parents are living. She was met at the barge
office by two Russian Hebrews, Philip Kranz,
editor Of the Arbiter Zeit'iag, nihilist organ
published in German, and DR.. Julian HaIpern,
whose guest Mrs. Rather will be until she starts
for Wichita
In her affidavit Mrs. Rather was careful to
avoid using thu word nihilist, but Mai. Semsey
overheard her talking TO the gentlemen who
were there to meet her, and 30 the story came
out. Mrs. Rather was very reticent as to the
manner i'll which prisoners were treated in
Siberia Maj. Semsey asked her If it were true
that DIR. Halpern WAS her cousin, as reported.
She hesitated, but finally said he was not, but
that he was nihilist. Mrs. Rather expects
her husband to come over when he 10 released
and join her in Wichita.

VICTORIA IN AN ACCIDENT.
The Queens Carriage Almost Sunk
With q Ferry Boat.

The queen had an unpleasant experience last
evening. She left Osborne House at 7:l5 for
drive to witness the yacht squadron parade at
Cowes. Her carriage had to cross to a steam
ferry on pontoon. A too sudden letting down
of the platform on which the queens carriage
stood caused an thrush of water, which par
TALLY submerged the pOntoon. The queen and
the spectators were for a moment panic
stricken, but the pontoon soon righted itself
and foated free. The queen was then con-
veyed safely to her destination.
An unpleasant incident also occurred to Miss
Knollys, lady in waiting to the Princess of
Wales. While she was walking in High street
her dress by some means, probably by stepping
on a match, became ignited. Bystanders de-
luged her with water and extinguished the
flames. She was not hurt

A Stump Speech Marriage.

A San Diego special to the San Francisco
Chronicle says: Last evening Frederick 8. Par
ker, claiming to hail from Troy, NY, went
into q well-known restaurant on F street, 10
companied by Jessie s. Beale, and in the pres
ence of the proprietors, walters and customers
they declared themselves to be man and wife,
Mr.. Parker explained to the astonished pro-
prietor in the following words:
Here Is case where We love each other and
want to be united in marriage. I don't believe
in preachers and don't think IL necessary for
justice or judge to shoot of lot OF words in
order to call us one. We are one already in
heart and soul and all want 10 witnesses. Will
some of you witness the fact that we agree to
be man and wife?"
The would be bride and groom shook hands
across the table and Mr.. Parker said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, this woman I take
for my legally and lawfully welded wife.

l shall make for her q living that will sustain

The lady likewise acknowledged him AZ her
husband, and the knot was tied 10 tho sstisfac-
ton Of the contracting parties, notwithstand-
ing the rather dubious expression Of some Of
the witnesses to the unique ceremony.
