ROYAL EATERS.
The Prince of Wales, Gar Alex
ander and Kaiser William All
Big Feeders.

The Prince of Wales, Gar Alex
ander and Kaiser William All
Big Feeders.
New York Recorder.
Two of the heaviest eaters in Europe
at the present moment are the Gar of
Russia and the Prince of Wales. The
number of their repasts and the amount
of food consumed at each of these are
enough to Startle ordinary mortals. The
Prince of Wales, for instance, after a
first light meal on arising eats an enor-
nous breakfast, IAN equally copious lunch
following at o'clock. AT or q there
is a kind of tea; that is to say. 1t is tea
only in name, and resembles far more
the Russian prashnik. for it includes
caviare and pate de fol gras sandwiches,
smoked salmon and all sorts of what are
falsely termed ''appetlZers." 1t is IN
deed a square meal, washed down by
drink far stronger than tea. Between
and O'Clock there follows dinner, and
shortly after midnight the prince is
ready once more for very hearty sup
per.
Imagine an ordinary man undergoing
this series OF meals every day during an
entire London season, and yet the
Prince of Wales seem to thrive on it..
His brother-in-law, the cZar, is an even
still heavier eater, in that he consumes
a larger quantity of food at each meal.
The late King Victor Emanuel was
noted for his voraciouS appetite, which
does not, however, appear to have been
inherited by his son, King Humbert,
who is more moderate Ill his tastes.
The present king of Portugal is noted
for his gluttony and for his grossnesS In
the matter of food, the result being that
though still very young. his present
girth of waist is absolutely alarming.
Both the King of Denmark and the
King of Sweden possess truly royal ap-
petiteS, and the same may be said of
King George of Greece and of the pres
ent King of Wurtemberg, who is re-
nOwned for his somewhat pleDeian and
strongly developed prediction for raw
onions. His predecessor on the throne,
the late King of Wurtemberg, was
man of enormous bulk. caused by his
rapacious appetite. and the late Duke
of hesse, too, was what the French call
a very powerful fork.
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
is very simple in his culinary tastes.
His moderation, however, is by no
means initiated by the other members
of the family, and heavy eating and
drinking are the rule rather than the
exception among the imperial family of
Austria. Emperor William of Ger
many is likewise a heavy eater. and
seems to prefer quantity rather than
quality. He has also mania for eating
at extraordinary times, and although
dining copieusly before going to the
theater, he generally insists on the dis
patch from the imperial kitchen of q
fourgon containing a fully prepared
supper, which he devours in one of the
private rooms of the theater between
the acts.

Glass Roofs for Streets.

A proposal to make London glass
rooted city is the subject of long letter
addressed to us by j. Newton Mappin,
says the London Daily News. The plan,
which will not be popular with the UNI
brella makers, resembles one in Mr.
Bellamy'S Looking Back ward" Mr..
MapDin says:
The covering of Cheapsde, Poultry,
Queen Victoria street, Regent street,
Bond street or Oxford street with a
glass roof may appear a Quxotic sug-
geStion-but other, at first sight, less
practicable schemes have been launched
successfully, and the world has not
ceased to revOlve on its axis in conse-
quence. The gain to the Great British
public, OF to that section who are in the
habit OF travelling the main arteries of
London, from a point of comfort alone,
should be sufficient to warrant trial.
Most people prefer brightness and
beauty to dirt and discomfort.
Nothing to my mind can have a more
miserable ana taWdry appearance than
a leading London thoroughfare OH a
wet day, when poor, dripping humanity
descendS to the depths of despondency,
and every object, animate and inani-
mate, has a WaShed-out appearance. A
CHuISc llOll lIlc COUUIllOl vi lUluSS
would be delightful to all the people
concerned-t those who would reside un-
der glass, so 10 speak, and those who
would use the thorOughfare for business
purposes. The former would, of course,
be called upon to bear the expense of
improvement.
IF say the outlay they would incur
would be returned to them i'll a few
years, owing to the increased flow of
business to their doors-and to the
leSsened eXpenditae upon paint and
clcaning-I should be under the mark.
Our wo0d and asphalt streets would be
dry, perfectly safe in all Weathers, and
the lease OF life doubled or trebled. Ii
the rain water were not preserved for
domestic use it could be usefully ap-
piled in flushing the sewers with clean
water instead Of liquid mud. The health
of the inhabitants would be greatly
benefited by breathing dry atmoS-
phere instead of damp, humid one.
Our clothes. boots, hats and general
comfort would not suffer as they do

real, to her husband. During all tn,

would yet prove to be not associate
with the disappearance Of Clark.
In the early part of 1885 new face
attracted her. j. ID. Green, her formel
lover, returned from the West. He had
read the accounts of her husband
death, and, after waiting for a suitable
length of time. in respect to the memory
of her deceased husband, he pressed his
suit. The sable garments of mourn
ing were cast aside, and the widow >
cap gave way to the orange blossoms
wreath. A wedding soon followed the
reunion of the former lovers. A year
of happy life passed, when one day
there came to the ears of Mrs. Greer
the report that Ira Clark had been seen
on the streets of Kansas City. A week
passed, and second report or the klnr
found its way to the Green homestead
At first she was inclined to believe II
a case of mistaken identity, but this be
lief was dispelled when her brother-in
law met Clark face to face on Mail
street. Thus Mrs. Green found herself
in a strange dilemma. She was pos
sessed of two living husbands, ,althougli
guiltless of bigamy i'll the eyes OF the
law. Mr.. Clark did not Interfere With
the domestic relations of the Green
family, although he soon got to calling
at the house. His presence in time be-
came irksOme, and Clark was finally in
formed that he was, in the eyes OF the
law, dead, ana had been buried IL
Union cemetery, with a suitable epi
taph on the headStOne.
TO further establish the fact, the city
records showed thapthe coroner and
twelve men had diSoSed of his case
long ago, and the county court had
liQuidated their fees for service without
murmuS. His name mad Deen eraced
from the city register, and, whlle IL
might have been the case that Others
had voted in his name, he was, never
theless, dead. 10 make the case palmer,
he was informed that he was dead u
Mrs. Green and the family, and was not
wanted around the premises.
Mr.. Green, after puzZllng long over
the situation, came TO the conclusion
that the best way to solve the matter
was to leave Mrs. Green, which he did
in 1887, and his divorce was grantee
yesterday OH the grounds that Mrs
Green had an undivorced husband.

Kansas City Journal.
The courts seldom produce more in-
teresting or a stranger story than the one
related by witness in Judge ScarriLts
court at independence yesterday. 1t was
told by J. d. Green in prosecuting his
suit for divorce from his wife, Sarah Z.
Green.
Twelve years ago the defendant, Sarah
Z. Green, then young and handsome
woman, became the wife of l. NJ. Clark,
Kansas City contractor, and Green,
former sweetheart of the bride, was one
of the guests at the wedding. A few
months later Green quit Kansas City.
and when he returned, Il few years
later, he found the woman whom he had
left happy bride wearing the weeds of
a widow.
Here begins the remarkable story of
this most remarkable case. For three
wears MIR. and Mrs. Clark lived happily
and then came a parting as mysterious
as 1T was crushing. One day lie left the
house to attend to business matters,
and the happy wife waited in vain for
his return. Weeks later the body OF
man, disfgured beyond recognition, was
found in the Shiny waters of o. K.
creek. Near the body was found
memorandum book OH the fiy-leaf of
which was the name II. NJ. Clark" The
identity of the body seemed positive,
although Mrs. Clark could not bring
herself to the belief that it was that of
her husband. 1t was given burial, how
ever, and as weeks passed without
bringing tiding of the missing one, she
reluctantly credited the story of murder
and robbery.
