WALES DOFFS MOURNING

he Wants to Take q Cruse on . warship-
The Ministers May Not Allow It-His
Stud Farm Sale Good One,
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE prspArcH.1
LONDON, July 9-Five years ago the
Prince of Wales started Q stud farm at
Wolverton, for the purpose, of improving
the breed of hackneys and hunters, and has
since spent lot of money upon it Yester-
day he held his first biennial sales, and
there was great gathering of aristocratic
buyers. despite the distractions of q general
election. The Duke of Portland bought
several horses on behalf of the Queen, and
the sale realized altogether EGG, ,O05, sum
of which was not large, considering the
number and quality of the animals sold.
The Prince of Wales is spending a good
deal of money in extending, altering and
identifying his so-calIed bachelors cottage
at Sandringham, which is to be the Norfolk
residence of the Duke of York, otherwise
Prince George of Wales. The house is
quite large enough for any young married
couple.
The Prince is gradually putting off his
mourning, and he is now accepting invita-
tions to dine out with friends. He would
like to 60 on cruise in the autumn with
the Duke of York, who is now in command
of the cruiser Melambus, but it is not likely
the Ministers will allow him to do 30.
Warships have been known to founder at
sea ere now, and if H M. s. Melampus
should 60 down with the Prince of Wales
and Duke of York aboard the unpopular
Flies would come to the throne of England.
The average loyal Englishman never ceases
to think OF such . possibility. -~s~.,- .s-.
The Prince of WalesEmay be ssked to
arbitrste upon . curious dispute which has
arisen between two royal pretenders, Don
Carlos and the Comte de Paris. The latter,
it seems, has had the impudence to assume
the armorisl bearings of the House of Bcur-
bon, of which Don Carlos is head, without
"label," denoting that he belongs to q
junior branch. The count, on being re-
monstrated with through a mutual friend,
Lord Ashburnham, has declined to enter
Into correspondence on the subject with the
Don, and SO the matter stands. At present
nobody worries aboutthe dispute, as neither
pretender is likely ever to win throne.

serpents and Their skins.

In tropical countries serpents are known to shed their skins at least twice year, and l have heard that some ex- foliate four times. In the United States the farther south we go the earlier we find the period, and in Florida found some species shedding in March, at a time when Michigan snakes had not left their winter retreats. North of the forty-second parallel the innocuous snakes generally shed in June, but some individuals get rid of their old overcoat and come forth in spring style in the month of May. All of the nonpoison- ous species change before the breeding season, and l presume the massasauga does also, but cannot assert positively, as l have yet to find an old one accom-. panied by young. As near as can as. certain, our massa3auga always exfo- Hates ill July, at least during the heated term.
 If ones knowledge of snake habits is alone from observations made on speci. mems in captivity but little credit should be given unless study has been made covering period of. several years, and even then at best much is lacking. am well satisfied that much that is writ ten on tho subject is copied from the writers of the marvellous or presented from stories recounted by others. --Dr. Morris Gibbs in Forest and Stream.

 Says 6 correspondent of THE REPUB. LICAN: Suppose 1t were true, which oi course it is not, that the Mckinley bill increases the price of provisions, what is the effect of Englan1's boasted free trade in that directionr The Argentine Republic enjoyed all the benefits of such free trade until she became herself a total wreck, ruined the Barring Bros. and brought Great Britain to the verge oi bankruptcy.
 A Phoenix lady has received a letter from her sister in Argentine, which re- cites among other things that she is asked to pay her Cordoba grocer $l.S0 for pound of Edam cheese and $5 for a single pound of English ham.
 Mckinley and his bill may be the ogre Grover Cleveland tres 10 make the dear people believe, but laboring men. and in fact everybody who unfortunately have to eat now and then, will eroan and stagger many cold day under all of Mir.

NAPLES, Sept. 10.-[ Associated Press. ] The old palszzo in the Via raverna col lapsed today, buryIng many persons in the ruins. The disaster caused the greatest excitement in the city, and large crowds focked to the scene. Many persons volunteered their services in the work of recovering the bodies of the victims, and soon large force was engaged in delving in the mountainous and almost inextricable mass of de- bris.
 The Prince of Naples himself and all the authorities of the city were early on the spot, and personally superintended the work of rescue, and by their en- couraging words and actions urged the toilers in the ruins to redoubled efforts. Many obstacles had to be overcome, however, and in spite of the earnest work of willing hands tbe task proved laborious and slow. One body terribly crushed and mutilated and the bodies of three persons still alive, but badly injured, have already been extricateI.

General Wheeler at Home.

At his home in Alabama General Wheeler loves to hoe in his garden. Mrs. Wheeler says he will be working away with his hoe, striking about eighty clips to the minute and destroying a weed with every stroke. when some idea will come into his mind concerning pub lie affairs. He drops the hoe, runs at the top of his speed into the house, picks up a pen, dashes off dozen words or so at an incredible rate and then rushes back to his hoe. Perhaps this process will be repeated half dozen times an hour. That is the way this peculiar little man, who was one of the bravest and most brilliant cavalry officers of the confed- eracy, prepares his speeches.
