resembling victorias and drawn by one
horse. The driver never asks for patron
age. He sits half asleep on his seat and
pays no attention to any one in particu-
lar. He is great contrast to the cab
bies who greet you in any city in the
States. If you want him, make strong
sibilant sound through your teeth and
beckon. There is no competition, and
the one you want is unmolested when he
approaches. He drives you anywhere in
the city for go cents. and the fare for two
is the same.
The great market is an appalling jun
BILE of strange figures, curious fruits,
fish, etc., and dreadful odors. 1t is a
vast maze. all full of booths, presided
over by every nation under the sun and

Havana is seen there purchasing up and
down the passageway, and babel of
tongues assails the ear.

he is happy. He is easily accommodated
in the last respect. Open cafes with
wide pillared platform in front are very
numerous. Little tables are placed on
every convenient spot there, and the citi-
vana produces the best cocktails in the
world. Certainly many of her drinks
are admirable. Nearly every one who
occupies the tables is playing dominoes.
This is especially true of the cafes FREE
Guented by the sailors and lower classes.
No matter what hour of the day or
the first half of the night you choose,
you will find the countless houses
crowded with men eating and drinking.
And yet the Havanan usually has but
two meals day-breakfast at noon and
hearty dinner al night. The hotels are
built around Il court, and every room

arts involved in good housekeeping,
for, as the curriculum of the DEPART
mcnt would prove, if every woman did
not know it for herself, it takes a know-
edge of many things to make a home all
that 1t should be. and the woman who
knows the most succeeds the best.
Here, for instance, cooking, washing
and mending are on the programme,
while plain sewing, dresslnaking and
embroidery have each Il class devoted to
them. Home decoration will not be neg
lected, and home nursing and physical
culture will be part of the regular course,
and Mrs. Mary II. Hull, the director of
the department, will deliver lectures on
the general topic of Housekeeping"
that are expected to summarize the adj
vantages of the different branches.
There is Il model Kitchen and Il dining

Various reasons are given, but prola-
bly, the most likely is that of the few
women living who were eligible the
Princess May, whom he has known all
his life, suited him best. There are not
more than half a dozen women in the
world from among whom he could Sc
lect a wife. and if he broke over the
traces and made an undesirable alliance
the marriage would be void without the
consent of his grandmother, the queen
The prince is i'll his twenty eighth year
and is favorite with the British people,
who have nicknaned him Jolly Prince
George" He has always been a model
young man, so far as appearances go at
least, and has been careful to make no
friendships that might embarrass him in
the future.
His childhood was spent Mt Sandring-
ham. and at Is he and his brother EN-
tered the navy as cadets. Two years
later he began a three years cruise
around the world on the Bacchante. He
is still connected with the navy and de-
votes considerable time to his duties in
connection Herewith.
In appearance the prince resembles his
blance between him and his future wife.
They are second cousins, once removed"
as the English put it, SO the likeness is
not strange. The princess is the daugh-
ter of the Duchess of Tecls, who was
Princess Mary of Cambridge, favorite
cousin of the queen.
Her majesty was present when the
duchess was married in 1866 and threw
a satin slipper after the bride. Apart
ments i'll Kensington palace were as
signed the ducal couple, and their four
| children, of whom Princess May is the
eldest and the only daughter, were all
born there.
With intervals devoted to travel
abroad, the Princess May spent the first
IL years of her life at Kensington,
gloomy old pile resembling IL hospital.
Then the family removed to the historic
White Lodge at Richmond, where they
still reside Here the princess was the
constant companion of her brothers in
their studies and sports, and it is no
doubt largely due to this fact that she is
such clever horsewoman and knows
how to handle an oar. She is clever in
other respects also, speaking three Ian
guages fluently and playing well on the
piano.
She dresses handsomely, her toilets at
the queens drawing rooms being always
subject of favorable comment in the
press. The Princess of Wales is credit
ed with having designed the bridal dress
for her future daughter-in-law, and Eng
lish women can hardly wait for the event

American is easily picked out by the
residents. Even the children recognize
him. Probably he moves too fast for
any other nationality. 1t is his misfor-
tune. as he is unable to obtain the worth
of his money. In all business transac-
tons he is charged the most outrageous
prices. A bumboat man wants so or IS
cents and will finally come down to 20
cents. Fruit and all merchandise take
a sudden rise in value as soon as the
American puts in his appearance.
One thing there is Of which Havana
may be proud-her facilities for trans-

SESSION OF TIE SENATE.
The Tax Levy Bill Killed in the Upper
House.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, February A.
The Senate session this morning was
very brief. 1t was opened with prayer
by Rev. j. w, McGErvey, Jr.
Senator Stewards bill TO prevent per-
sons not citizens OF the State from act
ing as police or place officers therein,
otherwise known as the anti-Pinkerton
bill, was taken up out Of its regular or
der and passed.
Senator Tarr's bill to make the fran
chisa Of bridge companies a part OF
their assets was also taken up out OF or
der and passed.
The bill decreasing the State tax for
general purposes from 25 to 20 cents on
the siOO valuation, and increasing the
school levy from 10 TO IS cents, was re-
ported unfavOrably by the Committee
on Taxation aud Finance. The ques-
tion being on its rejection the Senate
by a viva voce vote concurred
in the action OF the commit
tee. A similar measure is pending
in the House, and will come up on its
third reading next week. 1t is not
thought, however, that the measure will
ever become d law, as il is supported
only by members from the poor conn
ties. which IL would benefit most by the
increase in the school levy, aud these
members lack the numerical strength to
push the measure through.
After reading a number OF unimport-
ant bills a first time, the Senate ad-
journed until Monday morning.
