APrince.s Adventure.

One of the princes of Baden had a
curious experience in Rome a few weeks
ago. He was invited to a garden party
by King Humbert, and thinking to get
to the palace sooner dismissed his car
rage and walked to the palace door.
The concierge of the palace did not
know him. however, and declined to ad-

to pass by her. To make matters worse,
he did not speak Italian, and the con-

him. As they were in the act of con-

NO MORE BIG STRIKES.

His Views.
In an interview in the Emporia Ga
zette James Bruce, president of the local
A. K. Y. there, says that he does not be-
tieve there will be any more big strikes.
He says: Il believe this because the peo-
pie, the great sixty million whose bust
ness is affected by every such stoppage
of trade, will see that the cause for one
shall be removed. If this congress does
nothing, the next will be elected with
the object lesson of this summer fresh in
the minds of ethe voters and they
Will elect men to provide for a
tribunal which shall decide disputed
questions between capital and labor.
A law will be enacted establishing arbi-
tration as a principle and also that one
of the arbitrators shall be a real repre-
sentative of labor and posted to its in
terests. The decision of a fair board of
arbitration will be enforced by the power
of the government backed by public
opinion which will deny to either side
the right to paralyze the business of the
country"

Adopted Girls Cause Complications,

In 1889 David W. Bachman and wife
adopted a little girl-LOuise Aldred-
who is now years old. In 1891 Adelbert
G.. Walker and his wife adopted Mabel
Johnson, who is now years of age. Mr..
Bachman died a few years ago, and Mr..
Walker lost his wife two years ago. Mr..
Walker and Mrs. Bachman were mar
ried last October. Since then they have
been thinking how they could arrange it
so that in case of death of either of them
the children would inherit equal shares.
If Mr.. Walker died, his widow would
get half of his estate and Mabel Walker
the other half, while Louise Bachman
would get nothing. The positions would
be reversed in case Of Mrs. Wall RS
death. Finally they made up their minds
that each of them should make a will,
dividing the property equally. They
went to Attorney William H. Wetherbee
to have him draw up the wills. Mr..
Wetherbee told them that it would be
much better if the couple adopted both
children, and this was done. The chill
dren's names now are Louise Bachman

AMONG THE JUNIORS.

Resentment ut Being Dragged Into
Politics by Pearson.
There is strongly defined current of
resentment among the members of the
Junior Order OF United American Me-
chanics in Asheville because their order
was prostitut.d to the use of the politi
clan and dragged into the discussion
Saturday by Pearson. In the first place
the body is not labor organization.
Workingmcn, it is true, may aud do
become members, but it is not, strictly
speaking. laporing mems organiza-
ton. The order has been in existence
here only few years, but has grown to
considerable proportions, and embraces
Ill its membership ministers, lawyers,
doctors, and men of other callngs, as
well as mechanics. More than this,
the personnel of the councils is such as
make it certain that every one is capable
OF making up his own mind when it
comes to exercising his elective franchise.
Very many OF them. it may be said in
passing, might give Pearson pointers on
spcech-makipg.
One of the rules of the order is that the
body shall not in any sense be taken into
politics and members are particularly
erjoined as to this. 1t was thought that
some member had connivcd with Pear
son with the hope of getting some capital
for hopeless cause but investigation
fails to reveal who it was. 1t has stirred
up the Juniors and it is not at all uu.
likely that the matter will be very plainly
talked of among the members, although
matters of this character are not to be
discussed in their meetings.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 2+.-All the
talk about the Democratic candidates
for the State ticket centers in William !.
Gaynor. for the head of the ticket. 1t is
admitted on all sides that he has been
slated for the place. Apparently TO one
has been pushing his Doom, but it has
grown to such proportions that all other
booms are pigmies in comparison. The
growth Of the boom has many surpris-
ing features, however. The fact that
Judge Gaynor is a rabid reformer and an
anti-machine man did not, apparently,
prevent Tammany men and machine
men from accepting him as logical can.
didate. The reformers on the other hand
were at first apathetic. Tllev were
charged with jealousy and then they
suddenly became Gaynor men.
The availability of Judge Gaynor will
be discussed pro and con between this
and Wednesday. 1t is not believed the
nominations will lie reached before then.
In the interval there is chance for
dark horse to be groomed and entered
at the last moment. No one here thinks
that either Senator Hill or William c.
Whitney will run and the other candid
ates who have been talked of are too
small in calbre for an off year. 1t may
be dark horse after all, but the general
opinion is that Judge Gaynor will be the
man. Concerning the other places on
the ticket it is guess work.

Cause there was possibility that the

thought to spring new sensation by
asking how Mr.. Crawford voted on the
Indian appropriation bill, referring at
I he same time to the Junior Order United

one Of its principles declaration ia
favor of non-sectarian schools. He
threatened that il Mr.. Crawford did not
answer satisfactorily he (Pearson)
would carry the West ward. The 225
mechanics in the order, he said, wanted
an answer. Then assuming a dramatic
pose he declared he would not speak
until Mr.. Crawford answered. He sat
down ON the desk and waited. Then he
waited some more, He became nervous,
and beat tattoo with his foot. He had
10 minutes time, but whether he had
nothing more to say cannot be stated
definitely. Anyway, Mr.. Crawford al
lowed him to wait, and finally the Pre-
tender broke his promise and wound up

Fiftecn-,ninutes rejoinders were allowed
and MIR. Craw ford made his count He
wanted to know if the people had ever
seen such an exhibition as that given by
this cowardly man." There was a
great outbreak of applause and the
speaker got on top the desk. He de.
nounced the tactics OF man who would
pretend to make an attack and yet make
no charge that his opponent might
speak to. He said he could not remcm-
Der how he voted on the question asked
about, but he had had the Indian school
in this State changed from a contract
school to a government school. He fully
answered the Charges" made by Pear
son. and in regard to the mileage said
that if Pearson intimated he had taken
that which did not legally belong to him,
he (Pearson) told deliberate talsehood.
He summed up the situation by SAYING
the Rep. snake had swallowed the Pop.
toad.
When Mr.. Crawford's time expired,
Pearson proposed to yield all his time, but
Mr.. Crawford told him he did not need
it. There was cyclone of applause as
Mr.. Crawford closed, amid which Pear
son gave utterance to some words, but
they went unheard and he left the stand
and the crowd adjourned to the streets
to talk Of the Waterloo the Due de
