They Stopped the Prince Himself.

The visit Of the Raiah 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, says the Chicago
Tribune. That Is the reason.that the people in
Horticultural hall evinced so much interest
yesterday when they learned that real
japanese prince, who was doing the fair
.'incog.,' was then somewhere in the build
ing.
Some young ladies who were standing near
the crystal cave became very much excited,
and made all their arrangements to corner
the prince In little bower. over which many
green-trunked fern trees spread their foliage
II was spot beautiful and romantic enough
In which to captivate prince from the
Orient
A long-queued individual from the celestial
empire, in costume gorgeous enough to have
belonged to some long winded Chinese actor,
came along. The girls were certain this was
the prince, although they couldn't exactly
csc dress.
One OF the girls stepped before the little
party, for there were three Cinnamon in it,
and courtesied before his supposed royal
hlghness, and asked one OF the others il he
were not the prince.
He no Mclean man." responded the Chi
naman.
u know, but isn't he the japanese
No, he no Japana man. He washee clothes
in San Flaucisco He visit me South Clark
street"
But the romance of catching a Chinese laun'
drYman under the palms and fern trees,
though disappointing, did not dampen their
ardor to see and talk 10 the real prince.
Presently two dark-skinned men dressed in
American clothes came sauntering through,
critically examining the floral displays
through blue glasses. They were Japanese,
and the girls determined to ask them il 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 cor
responding to major general Of the United
States army.
I'VE are waiting here" said the young lady
Ito see great prince from Japan. Do you
know II he is in the building YETI?
Yes, replied the prince, smiling. He
came in some time ago"
DO you know what part of the building he
is in?"
He is in this part somewhere"
what does he look lfke?"
He is about my size, and looks something
like me-"
rs that so? I thought he would be a great
big, tine-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 card to the young lady 1t bore the
name and title of the prince printed in
English

Chatham County Registration.

A bill, to be introduced at the coming
session of the general assembly, to change
the present registration laws of this
county, is the latest movement of Sa-
vannah's great political wire workers.
The bill proposes to take the cOunty's
registration out of the hands of the county
CO nmissioners and place it in the hands
OF the ordinary. 1t is stated that the bill
is to be offered jointly by Representatives
Doolan, Osborne and Guerard.
An attempt will doubtless be made to
railroad the bill through the general as
sembly upon the same rapid schedule
employed by these gentlemen in putting
through measures at the last session, and
with as little regard for the opinions of
the people of this county.
There has been no demand from the
people for a change in the county election
laws. 1t is well understood that the pres
ent plan of registration is Objectionable
to those who desire to control the cleo
tions, but the delegates to the Legislature
from this county are supposed to repre-
sent the people, and not a set of politi-
clans.
Is it not time that the people
of the county should take steps
to stop this personal legislation? The
present board of county commissioners
were elected within a year, fresh from
the people, and by handsome majority
over a ticket that represented the politi-
cal agency at the head of the movement
to have the registration taken out of the
commissioners hands. Are the laws to
be continually changed because they do
not suit the three members of the legisla-
ture and one or two other men?
If there is a Democratic party organiza-
ton in this county, now is the time for it
to show that it is not merely name, but
a fact.

From Bootjack to Locomotive.

Surely the most unique and comprehensive
paraphernalia in the world have been col
lected in the storeroom of Edisons labora-
tory at Orange. Here, says Casselrs Maya
zine, are specimens of every material which
may possibly be needed in connection with
Mr.. Edison's experiments and as the invent
Or'S ideas are generally sparks which flash,
red lllumined, from the anvil of the BRAIN"
brooklng no delay in the process of incarna-
ton, and as moreover, there are no assigna-
Bile limits to the scope and direction of his
erratlc genius, the utmost skill and research
have been employed in bringing together
this material basis for this work. Mr.. Edison
has challenged the skeptical to name one sub
stance organic or inorganic, which is not to
be found in this unique collection. Every de-
partment OF nature has yielded It's tribute to
the potent wizard, not merely the super
fetal products familiar to every day use, but
those arcana which the ocean and neither
world hold in their innermost depths.
Shining metals lucent crystals vegetated
minerals lie scattered in profusoa, dainty
shells and coral repose among MOSES and

call memories of the fair babe of Bethle
hem. Chalks, resins, salts and chemicals are
heaped about in lavish plentitude, notwith-
standing the fact that many OF the latter rep
resent value OF $500 an ounce. The collec-
ton embraces not only raw products, but
specimens of every imaginary human in
dustry. On the shelves rest piles of textiles,
ranging from the coarsest sacking to Cos
samer fabric, such as might well have been
prince. These are flanked by metallic sheets
OF every description, while the floor is occu-
pied by motley crew of ropes twines, bun

ture, not only the limited appliances OF the
past. but the perfected outcome of the pres
ent, are fully represented, but in profusion
which forbids anything but the most superb

Hills Good Work.

If Senator Hill succeeds in bringing
the obstructionist southern seua-
tors to their senses, he will
have done more towards establishing
himself in the opinion of the best people
in the south as proper candidate for
the democratic nomination for the presi-
dency than has resulted from anything
he has YET done.
He is now doing good work NJ showing
up those senators who. in order TO secure
reelection by southern legislatures that
are professedly democratic but decidedly
populistic, are willing to turn the south
over again into the hands Of the rcpubli-
cans.
If the repeal of the silver purchase law
is defeated by the votes of Senators
Morgan, Butler, Colquitt and others,
the Republican party will sweep the
north in the next campaign and the
southern people will see laws passed
that will forever hold them in a position
from which their senators will be inca
pable of doing harm 10 the country.
1t is not too late for the senator's from
southern states to retrace their steps and
get back to true democracy and sound cur
rency. If they do not take advantage
of the opportunity, upon tLem will rest
the blame for all future political disas-
tiers that may befall their states.

Our Washington dispatches of yester-
day announced that Senator Cockrell was
at work upon a money bill to be submit
ted shortly as a compromise measure, and
that it was believed that" Senator Cock
rell had received some encouragement
at the treasury department" The bill
provides for the repeal of the Sherman
law, but removes the date at which the
repeal will take effect until Jan. or July
1, 1895. 1t retires the treasury notes be
low s. or $40; it coins the $4,000 900 of
silver seiguorage now on hand il makes
the purchase of 4, 500, 900 ounces Of silver
per month mandatory" 1t is inconceiv-
able that any such bill should receive
encouragement at the treasury depart
ment, or elsewhere in the administration.
The acceptance of such measure would
be equivalent to unconditional surrender
to the siIverites And that no conseicn-
tious democrat would ever agree to.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat.
after careful investigation, is enabled to
state positively that the oyster industry
of Louisiana has not been seriously in
iured by the recent tornado, There was
some damage to the oyster beds due to
the piling up of mud on them by the
storm, but it is not so great as imagined
is confined to the transplanted beds and
does not affect the natural oyster reefs.
Even in the case of the former the losses
are not over 30 per cent, and they CON
stitute only small fraction Of the supply
of oysters. Taking the districts tributary
TO New Orleans, the Louisiana coast and
Mississippi sound, the loss is not over 10
per cent, and only on this years crop.
BY next season the beds, it is believed,
will be more productive than ever.
