ENGLAND'S SCANDAL.
The Wilson's Helped the Prince
Out of Trouble.

LONDON, June ID Special The
Scottish Leader, of Edinburgh, this
morning says of the reported financial
barrassment of the Prince of Wales
that at the time Of the Barring Brothers
failure number of the financiers who
had loaned largely to the Prince were
compelled to ask for the return of the
money which they had advanced him.
The sudden demands placed the heir
apparent in most awkward situation
for time, and it was at this juncture
that young Wilson came to his aid with
loan, as the Leader has it, of one mill
lion dollars. This money enabled the
Prince to cancel his obligations to the
pressing money-lenders.
The Prince of Wales and the Duke
of Cambridge, commander in charge of
the forces, came to London this morn
ing on business, it is said, of the first
Importance. 1t is inferred that the
Prince is here in connection with the
baccarat scandal. He attended the royal
picnic at Virginia Water to-day. While
the Prince was at first disposed to treat
the pranby Croft festivities lightly he
now seems to realize the responsibility
of his position.
There is reason to say that on Mon
day next the secretary of state for
war will in the house Of commons apollo

TIE WATER SUPPLY.
Three Mains Now Connect the CITY and
the Reservoir.


the Reservoir.
The supply OF water to the city will
be shut oil this afternoon ate o'clock
in order that the Water Company may
make its third connection with the city.
When this is completed there will be no
danger of repetition of the threatened
water famine OF last year when the
water main in the river burst. Now if
one main breaks there will be two others
to supply the city, and if two break the
third one can be used. Thus the dan
ger of water famine is reduced to a
minimum.
Manager Rawn stated to TIMES re-
porter that the reason this work is done
on Sunday is because that it is the only
day on which the water can be shut off
without general inconvenience to the
Roanoke Machine Works and other in
dustries. The water will undoubtedly
be oil until midnight.

HOW JOE TOOK 1T.
HIS Mind Was Fixed on Business and
Didn't Harbor Revenge.


Mr.. Sanders is the proprietor of large
jobbing house in Pittsburg. One of his
regular customers is old Joe Miller, a
peddler. Joe has reprehensible habit OF
offering less than the market price for
merchandise. About two months ago
Joe came in to buy some stock and
Sanders waited on him, says the Phila-
delphia Times.
"Pll tell you something, Joe," he said,
by way of introduction. "rll be glad to
sell you anything you like, but if you
offer me penny less than the price |
name, I'll throw you out of that door"
''All right" said Joe; "Pll remember y
They came to job lot of half hose.
How much?' asked Joe.
Two dollars and half a dozen," re-
Piled Sanders.
"Pl give you S2,'' said Joe, without re-
hecting.
Sanders turned quick as flash, and,
taking his customer by the collar, threw
him more roughly than he intended
down stairs. Poor Joe rolled down the
steep incline, through glass door, and
and bruises. An ambulance had to be
called and the luckless peddler was taken
TO the hospital.
For fully month Sanders kept in con-
cealment, fearing prosecution at the
hands Of the injured man. Then, as there
was no action, he began to breathe again,
but he lived in constant fear of a lawsuit
One day he perceived Joe coming down
the street, his head covered with plaster,
his arm in sling. Sanders made rush
for his office and hid behind the door.
Joe. came in slowly and painfully
and looked about him. Suddenly he
espted Sanders, who stood trembling
with apprehension.
Say, Mr.. Sanders" said Joe. with an
insinuating smile, ''you are not angry
with me any more, are you? Will you
take two dollars for that lot?''
