MARKS THE BOUNDARY.

Marble Slab Designates the Dividing Line
Between Mexico and the United States.
Under the direction of the Boundary Sur
vey Commission the old marble monument
which, since 1s49. has marked the dividing
line between the United States and Mexico ut
the coas. has been brought to the city to be
dressed up. For years that monument has
been a point of interest. and has been visited
by thousands Of citizens and strangers. Each
has apparently felt that no one would believe
he or she had been there if some portion OF
the slab were not carried away to be offered
in evidence on all occasions.
The result has been that the marble has
been chipped and defaced until its original
form is almost lost 1t is because Of all this
that the slab has been brought to this city.
To work out the placements the surface
would have to be worked down two inches.
When redressed the stone will again be placed
in position, but this time in will be protected
by a fence Of steel pickets. The inclosure
will be twelve feet square. The pickets will
be eight high, the tops sharply pointed and
leaning inward. after the device Of some rat
traps. So that while it might be possible for
an active person to climb In. it would require
a first-class acrobat to CLIMB: out over those
curving pickets. Besides this. a new law
makes it penal offense to mutilate the mon
umentS.
At Tia Juana similar slab will be erected
on the old brick foundation in National ave-
nue.. which has long been landmark there.
The Tia Juana monument will be of granite,
instead of marble, and it will be inclosed with
steel plckets, like the one at the coast line
San Diego Sun.

MODERN wITCHERY.
Thereupon Mr.. Maskelyne invented for the
stage OF Egyptian Hall an act which he enti-
ties 'Modern Witchery." In this skit, Prof.
Forester and the Count Blarni conspire to
hoodwink Mrs. Martha Toogood, a woman
with mission" and her hen-pecked hus-
band into joining the theosophical brother
hood. Mrs. !Toogood is persuaded by the mira
Gle OF "Lh Asa" This startling Illusion consists
ofthe levitation OF an Oriental attendant, bound
to plank which is placed on the backs Of
chairs. The attendant and the plank rise a
foot In the air In sight of the audience and
remain suspended after the chairs are re-
moved. This is done in the brightest OF
lights and without the the mirrors formerly
used in such illusions. At the finish the
master. Mahatma ''Koot Hoomi, "material-
izes" in extraordinary fashion from blush

ously she had been Joan of Arc in n former
incarnation and that in the future she shall
be called Gamma Bei'' and devote herself to
reuniting the Brahmins. Parsees, Mohamme-
dams and Buddhists into one great nation
and with the help of Russia shall cage the

1T WILL NOT DOWN.

Interest in the Borden Murders Still Una.
bated in New England.
The past seven days mark the second ami
versary OF the ghastly, yet to some people
strangely fascinating. events in the Borden
murders, SAYS a Fall River letter in the Bos-
ton Herald, the dates covering that exciting
period of time that intervened from the dis
covery of the crimes to the holding Of the first
days session of the inquest. 1t is week
thrilling with the recollections of the most
horrible things. Though two years have
passed since the finding OF the mutilated
bodies on that hot Thursday morning, when
the police were away on their excursion, the
m mystifying episodes that were directly or in
directly connected with the dark deeds have
not apparently lessened the interest in the IA
nous case. On the contrary, everything that
smacks Of the Borden murders serves to hold
out an unusual inducement for people to eI-
hihr their morbid tastes.
Up in Oak Grove Cemetery, where two
MOUNDS, soon to be marked with stones,
stand near two more in double lot, the
headless bodies OF the butchered couple lay.
The spot is daily the lettering place for resi-
dents who know it rs well as they know the
slate-colored mansion OF Second street. Peo-
pie who pass by the old mansion every day
are compelled. by some hidden force. TO turn
and look at the building that commanded
such widespread attention two years ago. 1t
is one of the places that visitors demand to
see; but few out-of-town people depart with
out seeing it. The graves are the subject of
just as curious an interest. Supt. Morrill, has
had people inside of his domain who have
told him they came from Bermuda. England,
and nearly all parts of the United States.
Even the new house on French street. where
Lizzie and Annie Borden quietly reside. is not
safe from the inspection Of strangers, though
what the present residence Of the sisters can
afford in the way Of special interest cannot
be imagined.
The case refuses to die. If it isn't called
up by the presence of Bridget Sullivan or
Uncle Morse in town, some circumstance con-
nected with it is subjected to n comparison by
details of a new crime. Then the movements
of his daughters, the stalking about Of the
grim specter to whose call six persons promi-
nent in the investigation and trial have an
swered. and various other events seem to
keep fresh in the minds of the public the
greatest crime of century, and now to top
off everything else is the fact that circum-
stances in the cass have found place in
recent work on medical jurisprudence.

INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS,

Columbia typographical Union Holds a
Very Largely Attended Meeting.
There was large attendance yesterday af-
ternoon at the regular meeting OF Columbia
Typographical Union, at Typographical Tenn
pie.
The chief interest centered in the installa-
ton of the officers for the ensuing year.
President William E. Shields, who has made
one of the most efficient officers Columbia

the union at National Baseball Park on Labor

seen or heard in this city.

CRADLE OF ENGLAND'S HEIR.

Grandmamma Victoria Had 1t In the Royal
Nursery for Her Own Children.
All the environments of the new royal baby
in England is ancestral and in close touch
with his distinguished lineage. Even the
swinging cradle. in which the wee boy takes
his long baby sleeps, has held the infant forms
Of many of his royal granduncles and aunts.
1t is the one the Queen had in the royal nur-
sery for her own children, and it Is deemed
proper and suitable that this important sue
cessor in the line should have a resting place
digniaed with heredity.
The cradle swings from a graceful frame Of
rich old mahogany inlaid with gold. Drap-
cries of handsome brocade OF delicate pearl
tint are attached and used to shut OF intru-
sive draughts. The sheets for this downy
nest are of fine Irish lawn, lace trimmed.
The blankets are softest embroidered Pyren-
can wool, and the coverlid matches the pearl
brocade. The crown and three feathers which
surmount the framework are further typical
OF the royal state of the small occupant whose
baby eyes look out on many such suggestive
emblems.
The layette of the little prince is peculiarly
delicate and dainty. Irish linen and Spital-
fields silk were used whenever it was possi-
BILE, and some of the lace comes from North
ampton. The work is exquisitely fine, the
robes given by the Queen being peculiarly
lovely. One robe Is of Irish lawn, hand-em-
broidered, and as fine in texture as the ia
nous "woven wind" of India. and the other
a rich cloak and hood Of pure white zibeline,
a beautiful silken material. The tiny hood is
adorned with the Prince Of Wales feathers in
pure white ostrich tips.

PETS OF THE CHILDREN.
Morris Educated Ponies Drill Like Soldiers
at River View.


Fully 1000 people visited the favorite re-
sort, River View, yesterday to witness q most
novel entertainment. The hearts of nearly
1000 children were made happy, as the pleas
ure depicted on their faces testified, by the
unique performance of twelve equine lilliru-
tian actors, which gave grand midday and
evening exhibitions.
Morris educated ponies are justly termed
'the equine wonders OF the world" and they
are certainly ''the pets of the children" Even
the children of larger growth were greatly in
terested and entertained, as was manifested
by frequent outbursts of applause. The
ponies go through a regular drill like soldiers,
taking the word OF command from their
colonel, Master Leon Morris. a pretty, manly
boy of twelve years. The ponies march
wheel. shoulder arms, and stand at ease, just
like well-drilled soldiers.
But the greatest wonder of all is the cele-
brated wrestling pony, Banner. His per-
formance with the famed wrestler, John
Hedge, excited the greatest wonder and en-
thusiasm of the adults. and made the eyes of
the youngsters bulge with excitement.
The educated ponies proved be a great at
traction yesterday. No extra charge was
made for the special exhibitions. and the
boats from the city were crowded on each
trip. The ponies will be exhibited again
Wednesday next.

the case were ascertained the cloud on the
memory of my uncle would be removed The
acting coroner, W. S. Hatton, held a new inquest

Oscar at the Castle Drottningholm The king
spoke upon this occasion of America as ''the
most remarkable country on the globe" and
stated that he was just as much interested in
everything American as any of the learned
gentlemen present.
The return of Emperor William from Nor
way to Germany last week has. of course, al
ready been cabled to most parts of the globe.
but the daily life aboard the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern during the last Norwegian trip
of his majesty is probably not generally
known outside CT a very intimate circle.
There was no etiquette whatever. and the
lveliest conversation took place at the meals
which were served at l and p. m. When
his majesty was not busy writing and the
landscape did not especially draw his atten-
ton he promsnaded. sometimes Alone some
times accompanied by one of his attendants
on deck and inspected the ship service Sal
mon fishing and shooting with pistols were
two of his favorite amusements.
EMPEROR WILLIAM CONDUCTS DIVINE SERVICE.
In the evening concerts were arranged in
the main saloon. At these. popular enter
tainments.' as the Kaiser styled them, were
heard Count Phillip Zu Eulenburg, the Ger
man ambassador to Vienna, who is a great
poet and musician, and Major Won Huesen,
who Is known as a singer Of some note.
Major Won Huelsen appeared also as a Jug
Ter. and was assisted in his various tricks by
Herr Won Kiderlen-Wachter,m minister to Ham
burg. The marine painter, Saltzmann, drew
caricatures OF the whole company, except the
Kaiser. of course, and everybody, not least
His Majesty. seemed to enjoy himself.
On Sundays the Emperor ordered all the
officers and the crew of the Hohenzollern to
gather on deck. where an altar. covered by a
German flag. had been raised. The Emperor,
dressed in the uniform of an admiral OF the
German navy, advanced towards the altar
and conducted alone the divine service which
began with prayer. whereupon followed
short sermon. the whole concluding with the
Lords prayer.
During the trip the birthday of one of the
officers was celebrated as a family event. At
the banquet in the evening Emperor William
himself acted as toastmaster.
