DEFENDS THE PRINCE.
The Daily Nows, Of London, Continues It's
Defense of Wales.


LONDON, June 15.-Thc Daily NcOs
continues to defend the Prince Of Wales.
1t says: The suggestion that the Prince
should have played the part OF informer
and peacher upon his old friends, when
in trouble, is utterly preposterous. No
such duty should be cast upon men Of
honor, and certainly the Queens regu.
lations do not cast it. The imputation
is that the Prince OF Wales and General
Owen Williams conspired to conceal,
not crime, but an accusation, which it
was forced William Gordon Cumming
himself to bring under notice OF his
commanding officer.
The Daily Ne@s thinks the case would
be met, if the Duke of Cambridge, as
commander-in-chief Of the forces, should
signify histdisapproval Of the document
signed at Tranby Croft, The paper
blames Lord Coventry for dragging the
Prince into the scandal, instead Of doing
his duty in keeping him out OF it.

The Swiss Ilailway Dlsaster.

Foreign critics are quick to find in
every American railway disaster some
glaring defect in the work or the man.
ner OF operating. They have their own
troubles on the other side.of the ocean.
This time it is railway bridge that
gives way, resultingin terrible slaughter
OF pleasure-seekers.
The collapse OF the iron superstruc-
ture recalls the charge against the sec
ond iron manufacturing establishment
in Germany, that it has been turning
out large quantities OF railway work far
below the government standard and
bearing forged test marks.
Switzerland is not Germany, but what
happens in one country may happen in
another, and it may be that German
manufacturers get contracts in switzer-
land.

The Direct Tax Resolution.

West Nirginia's share of the direct
tax ordered by Congress to be paid, has
got into,a strange tangle. The certified
copy of the resolution of the Legisla-
ture accepting the appropriation did
not aet forth that the governor was au-
thorized to accept the money. This
fact being pointed out, Ex-Governor
Wilson, who has q handsome fee in
volved, said that he would at once
cause to beforwarded to Washington an
other certified copy containing the
omitted essential. Up to date no such
amended certificate has been seen in
Washington, and it is assumed that
there is no original to base it on.
The legislation accepting the appro-
priation is known as House Joint Reso-
luton No. "a. It was introduced by
Col. White, of Ohio county, March 8,
1891, as tho House Journal for that day
shows, and by him followed up to its
passage. And here is the very grant OF
authority which is not found in the
certified copy sent to Washington:
: De Il further ResOlvNd By ne legislature Of West
Tbss Tho Governor OF tho State Of West Viz.
RinIR Is hereby authorized to receive said money
Gpproprlntedl Tor and % the State OF West VII.
gllla by the said Act OF Congress for the use and
purposes as arc In said Aetot congrcSset forth.
The resolution was adopted by the
House March II and by the Senate
March 10. So says the record. Why
the certified, copy does not say SO, and
why no certified copy that does say SO
has been sent to Washington, are in
comprehensive features oftho case.
Tho Prince and the Babpling Brooke.
The name Of the person who revealed
tile Gordon Cumming baccarat compact
Of secrecy was not revealed in court,
But it is well known that the Prince Of
Wulcs told Lady Brooke and that her
ladyship gave it away. Lady Brooke is
proud Of her relations with the heir mp
parent, and it tickled her vanity to be
able to tell the secret confded to her by.
SO notable person. So her ladyship
has como to be called tho "babbling

himself and he is not proud of the rala-
tons OF the Prince OF Wales with his
wife. He feels 20 much the other way

upset the carefully laid plans of thousands of
men. That man was Rev. DR.. Samuel D. Burch-
arc, of "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellon' fame
whose portrait is given above. There can be
no doubt that If DR.. Burchard had not uttered
those words in the speech he made to Mr..
Blaine at the meeting of ministers at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel on October 30, 1854, New
York would have been carried by the Re-
gublicans by a small plurality and
Blaine would have been inaugurated
President instead of Cleveland. DIR. Burchard
was born in New England in 1912. His pa
rents moved TO Oneida County in the State of
New York. Young Burchard was of delicate
constitution but with remarkable mental
vigor. When ne was II years of age he emil
grated to Kentucky in the hope OF finding re-
stored health among the mountains. While
supporting himself by teaching he en-
tered Centre College. He was SILL at Dan.
vile, KY, when the cholera scourge swept
over the country. 1t was particularly viru-
lent in that part Of Kentucky. All through
the reign of the disease young Burchard went
from house to house nursing the sick,
administering medicine and speaking words of
religious comfort in the ears of the dying
He was ordained a minister of the Presby-
terian Church, and after some months he
accepted call to the Houston, street
Church in New York City. This church
afterward moved to West Thirteenth street.
After laboring nearly forty years DR.. Burch-
ard retired and was made president of the
Rutgers Female College in New York. On
October 30, 1854, at convention OF ministers
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, to
help Blaine's canvass the Rev. DR.. Burchard
delivered the address of welcome, in the
course OF which he said: ''We are Republi-
cans and don't propose to leave our party and
identify ourselves with the party whose ante
cedents have been Rum, Romanism, and Re-

gambling and religion. He holds a creed that
allows him to corner the necessaries OF life,
carrying hardship and suffering into the homes
of thousands of his poor fellow-men, and at
the same time pose as a good Christian and
an exemplary citizen. 1t was In an attempt
to get control of the visible supply of corn
that he went down and so little regret is ex-
pressed at the disaster which befell him.

represented a Brooklyn district in the House.
He had ticker placed in the lobby of the
House and kept it there until Speaker Car

Church for number of years. He was born
August l. 1881, In Chatham County, N. c., his
father being descendant of Pennsylvania
Quaker family which migrated south after the
Revolution, and his mother a member of one
Of the Oldest families of his native State. His
father was bitter opponent of slavery and
Nat Turner uprising In 1881, afew months after
young Stephen was born, The elder brother
paid for his tuition in Knox College in 1854.
After graduating from college he became
bookkeeper In st. Louis. He was admitted to

paratiye cost of sweeping and cleaning Penn

hand for month of twenty-six working days
cost S20S, exclusive OF the necessity OF
sweeping the same by machine -four times

a well-known member of the Police Depart
ment said to HERALD reporter a few days
since as they watched the crowd OF ''vags"
and criminals being crowded into the van
which carries them to the jail from the Police
Court; "There is an evil which THE HERALD
would do well to call attention to- The
crowding of thirty or forty ill.smelling people
into that dark van is an outrage You
noticed that many of them were women, some
of them young girls. One ride in this crowded
van is sufficient to ruin them forever, as far as
any shame may be concerned. To be sure
most OF the women are beyond the hope of re-
form and no form of degradation could iniure
their morals, for they have none. But often
there are women and girls, who by unfortunate
whom there remains sense of delicacy and
who have not yet lost all their self-respect and
deceney. From them it is learned that the
van is horrible den. The light is very poor,
and crowded together almost on each others
laps the convicted ones have almost an hours
ride. During this time the women are sub
jected to all manner of indecencies, and
though they may appeal to their companions
they are generally answered by laugh. The
language used by the men and some of the
women is something that cannot be repeated,
and the yilest stories are reciied to the evident
pleasure of most of the men.

THE DETECTIVES BICYCLES

Caused a Countryman to Mistake Head
quarters for n Bicycle Store.
A young man, evidently from the country,
while passing the corner of Fifth and L streets
the other day, glanced into detective head
quarters and, after hesitating moment,
walked in and presented himself at the desk.
"I'ye bin intendin' to buy bicycle" he
said, ''and guess might as well get 1t here
as anywhere else."
"What J" exclaimed the genial Mike Cor
man, the clerk. "This is not bicycling es-
tablishment,' and then he broke into hearty
laugh.
The young man looked little embarrassed,
and then departed, muttering to himself: "If
it amt cycle store, 1t looks almighty like
one" The young follow was not to blame
for his mistake for any stranger might do the
same thing. He Was deceived by the equip
ments of the mounted detective force which
is rapidly being organized at headquarters.
Some time ago Inspector Swindells pur-
chased bicycle. He found it so convenient
and such a time-saving machine that he recon-
