They Stopped the Prince Himself.

The visit of the Rajai Rajagan of Kapur-
thala, India, to the fair, and the attention
he received. have increased the desire Of the
crowds on the grounds to see with their
own eyes Asiatic potentates and touch the
hem Of their garments. That Is the reason
that the people in Horticultural Hall
they learned that a real japanese prince,
who was doing the fair "incog," was
then somewhere in the building.
Some young ladies who were standing
near the crystal cave became very much
excited, and made all their arrangements
to corner" the prince in a little bower,
over which many green-trunked fern trees
spread their foliage. 1t was a spot beau
tiful and romantic enough In which to cap
uvate a prince from the Orient.
A long queued individual from the celes-
tiai empire, IN costume gorgeous enough
to have belonged to some long-winded Chi
certain this was the prince. although they
couldn't exactly reconcile the queue with
their ideas of Japanese dress.
One Of the girls stepped before the little
party, for there were three Cinnamon In A.
and courtesied before his supposed royai
highness, and asked one Of the others II he
were not the prince.
He no Melican man." responded the
Chinaman.

primer?
No, he no Japana man. He washee

South Clark street"
But the romance Of catching a Chinese
laundryman under the palms and fern
trees. though disappointing. did not dampen
their ardor to see and talk to the real
prince.
Presently two dark-skinned men dressed
In American clothes came sauntering
through, critically examining the floral dis
plays through blue glasses. They were
Japanese, and the girls determined to ask
them II they knew where the prince was.
Are you from Japan" asked the Girl
who had before courtesied to the .washee
man."
Yes" replied the prince in good English:
for the little, yellow-skinned. black mus
tached gentleman was no other than Prince
kornatsuno Miya, holding a position in the
imperial army Of the Emperor of Japan
corresponding TO major general of the
United States army
I'VE are waiting here" said the Young
Lady, TO see great prince from Japan
Do you know IL he Is in the building yet?''
Yes, replied the prince, smiling He
came in some time ago."

What does he look like?"
He is about my size. and looks some
thing like me-"
rs that so? I thought he would be a
great big, fine-looking man. But we are
ever so much obliged to you"
The prince and his companion passed on.
but presently the companion came back
and gave a card to the young lady II bore
the name and title of the prince printed In
English.

Bright In the flushed yellow Of a pear

With gold embroidered raiment wondrous rare,
So doth the inner growth of spirit stand,
Sometimes unseen, unknown, throughout the

To Cheaper the Cost of Iron.

From the Ph1ladelDh1a Ledger.
One of the objects Of the visit of Thomas
A. Edison, the inventor, to Allentown, IA,
day or two ago. was getting ideas for use
in his new magnetic ore concentration
which he expects will work q revolution in
the iron business. He was also studying
the working Of the furnaces with a view
Of perfecting another invention which he
has on hand for the charging Of furnaces
by machinery. by which he hopes to greatly
cheaper the production of iron.
He has already introduced similar ma
chinery in his ore mines in New jersey
whereby the ore Is brought to the surface
at a small expense. In talking Of his in
ventions for the treatment Of ores and the
operation Of furnaces, he said he expected
soon to be able to place northern furnaces
once more in a position to compete success
fully with those in the south. By means
Of his magnetic concentration he will take
Is per cent ore, and, by removing the for
eign matter, convert 1t into bricks that
contain 60 per cent Of iron.

The Geary law on the Chinese reg
istration act ia exciting more attention
than any one thing now. 1t is rather
a singular tact that we demand the
safety of our merchants in China and
repel any infringement of their rights
and yet we demand a registration of
Chinese laborers in this country with
such severe restrictions that it
amounts to exclusiveness against
them as a laboring class. 1t
is true they are not homogeneous
and from their chesp manner of liv-
ing they are enabled to successfully
compete with our laboring men and
almost exclude them from the lines of
labor in which they engage, but yet
we demand for American merchants
in China almost absolute and exclu.
sive rights, certainly much higher
rights than we are disposed to give
them in this country. The question
then is, what are We going to do
about it?

the country generally, to it's upbuild-
ing in material prosperity rather than
to the claims of certain party workers
to Offices Of emolument and trust. 1t
does seem that he ought to be free from
all that kind of annoyance of button
hole operations upon his patience and
Indulgence so that he could devote
the whole abilities of his mind to
the great questions and issues that
involve the happiness and prosperity
of more than 6O,OOO,OOO OF people. 1t
seems conspiculopsly and eminently
selfish for "a mere fraction of these
mighty millions to demand his sole
attention to their egotistic desires and
selfish ambitions. They are not
thinking about the country and its
pressing needs, It's wide spread and
universal wants; they are thinking
alone OF their personal ends and their
pecuniary success.
The president owes a duty to the
country, first that his time and atten.
ton should be devoted to the public
success and the energies of his intellect
and all the powers of his mind be
given to the solution OF the great
questions that confront his admins
tration. 1t is therefore wise aud
proper that this thing of office hold
ing be relegated to some other judi
ciou5 tribunal, such as the civil
service commission, so that party
objects and ends may rather be &C.
complished than that partisans may
be rewarded. The reward that all
good party men should most assidt-
ously seek is the accomplishment OF
certain great ends and the establish
ment of certain great principles for
which they have been fighting, ke-
lieving that they involve the great
interests of the country.
If we believe that a high tariff is
unwise, illegal and oppressive, ought
we not not rather to be more concern
ed about its repeal than who is to
reap the spoiis OF office, or who is to
be made happy by fat grab at the
treasury? Let us look at
these things in "a broader
and more patriotic light
and rejoice that we have president
who is bold enough to shatter the ira
dltions of party and mark out for
himself higher line of duty than
the mere subservance of his admins
tration to the desire of party hench-
men and the success of party favor
