ALBERT EDWARD.
HTs Game Mt the Duke OF RIchmond's
County seat some YEAR ago.

A@nhy SeAh SOMe AeNE@ ago.
1t Is not generally known that the
Prince of Wales breach of hospitality
| in playing bacearat in defiance of the
express wishes of his host at Tranby
Croft was by no means his first offense
against the laws Of hospitality and
also of good taste, says the New York
Record. He acted in very much the
same fashion some years ago at Good
wood, the county seat of the Duke of
Richmond. Ever since his marriage
the Prince of Wales has been in the
habit of visiting the Duke during the
annual Goodwood races, with the
Princess and large party Of royal
guests.
The Duke of Richmond, who is now
an old man, is very independent of
mind and possesses great force of char
acter. His horror for gambling is well
known, and when, few years ago, the
princes taste for baccarat became the
| talk of London, the Duke. on the occa-
sion of the heir apparent's last visit,
told him of his aversion to games of
hazard, and exacted pledge from him
/ that under no circumstances should
baccarat be played during his stay.
The Duke makes an inyariable rule Of
retiring every night punctnally at 10
! O'Clock. no matter who is present, and,
confiding in the promise of the Prince,
/ although it had been somewhat reluct-
antly given, the old peer went quietly
to bed at his usual time. On the third
day of the races, however, the Duke,
who had as usual hidden his royal
guests good night at 10 o'clock, had oc-
casion TO come downstairs again about
an hour later.
| His horror and Indignation may be
better understood than described at
| finding the whole royal party seated
around table in the library and play
/ ing baccarat for very high stakes, with
the Prince of Wales acting as banker.
So great was the dukes wrath that he
openly protested to the prince against
the way IN which his confidence had
been betrayed. the latter presenting
but sorry spectacle during this al
| garade, for he could find no good ex-
cuse for his extraordinary behavior.
The card party was broken up in
great confusion, and it was never re-
sumed during that or any of the sub
sequent visits at Goodwood.

THE MARBLE MAP OF ROME
Fragments Found of the Great Slab That
Adorned the Forum of Augustus.

Fragments Found OF the Great Slab That
Adorned the Forum of Augustus.
1t was known several centuries ago
that on the facade Of one Of the munic-
ipal buildings erected by the Emperor
Augustus Of Rome was affixed a great
marble slab, on which the map of
Rome, with all its streets, temples,
public buildings and gardens were
traced in deeply indented lines A
large part Of this map was dug up dur
ing excavations made on the site Of
the forum of Augustus many years ago,
and twenty-five more fragments of this
marble plan of Rome have just been
found in the excavation for the works
of the Tiber embankment, on the other
side of Rome and across the river
The story how these fragments got so
far away from the ruins to which they
originally belonged is curious one.
In the sixteenth century, during the
reign of Pope Paul Ill, excavations
were made on the site of the wall on
which the plan was knownto have been
affixed, and good many fragments of
the marble plaque were found, of
which those considered the most inn
portant were given to the municipal
authorities, and the smaller bits (then
deemed worthless, but beyond price
to the skilled aud patient arch@olo-
gists of to-day, were cast into heap
of building materials, comprising,
doubtless, many other precious frag-
ments of marble, and were eventually
built into the walls of the old Alferi
palace, part of which has been uncov-
cred in making the foundations for the
Tiber embankment. These fragments
were found seven meters below the
actual level of the Roman streets, or
rather more than twenty-three feet-

A Millionaire's Money With Shia-
wassee co. Heirs.

For the last few days the National Hotel
i'm this city has been the scene of legal
contest of parties from New York, and from
all parts of Michigan, haying attended the
taking of testimony i'm the famous Sidney
Smith case, of Hamilton, N. Y, in which
Hon. S. B. Daboll, of st. Johns, Mich,
Judge of the 27th Judicial District, and s.
ID. White, of Hamilton, N. Y, are attorneys
for plaintiffs, who number about forty, heirs
of the said Sidney Smith, deceased. Mr..
Mann, of New York City, and Mr.. Lindsey,
OF Oneida, Y. Y, are attorneys for defend
ant, Adon Smith. This case INVOLVES about
six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In
the year 1850, Sidney Smith was adjudged
insane and sent to private asylum for treat
ment, being an inmate of this asylum for
nearly forty years. 1t appears that at the
time he was adjudged insane. his brother,
AdOn Smith, was appointed guardian of
the estate, but during his brothers confne-
ment he died, and at the time of his death,
he was indebted to the estate up in the
thousands. At the death Of Adon Smith,
his son, Adon Smith Jr., who resides in
New York City, was appointed guardian.
Adon Smith, the defendant who is now
in Ow0ss0, is large, well built, shrewd ap-
pearing business man, who has acquired a
large fortune in handling his uncle's money,
the property that has been intrusted to his
care being listed at over one million dollars.
Final settlement was delayed as long as
possible with the heirs until their attorneys
forced the issue. In this settlement the
heirs claim that AdOn Smith, by buying up
their attorneys and misrepresenting the
amount of the estate, settled with them far
below the value of the property held by him
in trust In this deal it Is claimed that the
heirs were defrauded out of about two hun
dred thousand dollars. The heirs were in
duced to sign papers relinquishing their
interest in all the real and personal property
of Sidney Smith but were informed In the
meantime that there was no real estate I'm
which they shared. 1t now transpires that
there was real estate that was not reckoned
i'm the settlement. A judgment of sixty
thousand dollars and interest against
j. Hunt Adams, of New York City, was
represented as uncolectable while it had
been collected. s. ID. White, of Hamilton.
N. Y, and Judge Dabol, of st. Johns, took
the matter in hand for the heirs and have
succeeded I'm unravcling the ways of the
trustee and it now looks as IL Adon Smith
would have to disgorge of some of his ill
gotten gain. The Shiawassee county heirs
are Mrs. Hope Lemon and Mrs. Ruth Shep-
herd, OF Shiawassee township, the former
being half sister to Sidney Smith. A
great number of witnesses have been exam
ined during the past week at Owosso before
a commissioner from New York, accom-
panied by stenographer.

The Show.

The show train arrived in Owosso from
Charlotte Thursday at Z a. m. and soon after
that the crowds began to fill the streets. Be-
fore o'clock Washington street was almost
a solid mass of people, and travelling upon
the sidewalk was entirely out of the ques-
tion. The usual parade of band wagons,
cages containing animals, ,chariots, h0rsemen,
elephants and camels made up the process
sion for the show. This was followed by
several unique advertising wagons. The
labor day association took advantage of the
crowd and gave their demonstration good
advertisement. The peanut and popcorn
stands did a thriving business and what is
unusual no accident occurred. The show
tents were pitched on the ground south of
the Ann Arbor yard and over I'm that section

Street Railway Mass Meeting.

The call for a special meeting to consider
granting a street railway franchise, was re-
sponded to by large number of citizens
Saturday evening. The subject was dis
cussed by groups of men in front of the city
hall long before the meeting began and the
whole trend of popular feeling was in favor
of the railroad. Addresses were made by
j. w. Turner, A. j. Patterson, G. II. Lyon
and Mayor Smith. The opposition was not
to granting franchise but to restricting the
grant so that no advantage could be taken
by railway company. The question of
allowing the company to select the streets
over which they were to run and the condi-
tions in which the streets would be left were
incidentally discussed. The vote was ten
to one i'm favor of street railway. The
special committee thereupOn reported in
favor of granting such franchise but asked
for further time to consider the ordinance
