ROYALTY ANNOYED BY DOUBLES

An American Recently Posed In London
as Duke-Counterfeit Queen Natalie.
Many distinguished people are an
noyed at times by the appearance Of
doubles" OF these some are doubles
by nature; others, impelled by the love
of notoriety, pretend to be the person
they especially envy or admire. Not
long ago, says Tid-Bits, German.
American made himself conspicuous in
London by posing as the duke OF
Teck. He played the role without in.

his conduct became SO erratic that he

has also double" At Drunn, while
performance was being held in the
City theater. q well-dressed, handsome
young man entered and desired to be

of Austria. The mayor saw at glance
that he had to deal with madman; as
he could not remove him without n dis
turbance he entertained him until the
end of the first act, when he succeeded
in getting rid Of the soi-disant prince,
who subsequently proved To be a mer'

Natalie, ex-queen of Servia, may alse
claim a double. The person SO desig.
mated carries on small business, and
except that her name Is Nathalie there
seems to be no resemblance between
her and the ex-queen. Still. she is
known far and wide as her double. and

THE TARIFF ON hay.

The hay dealers and producers
throughout the country are up in arms
over the change in the tariff on hay
from 81 to So Fer ton, as proposed by
the Wilson bill. Recognizing the dam
ger to this vast interest, which repre-
sents farm value of $3.50, 1000, 900 annu-
ally, the greatest of any crop raised in
the United States, they have requested
the Hay Trade Journal of Canajoharie,
N. Y, to circulate petition asking the
senate to maintain the duty on hay at
its present rate. The Journal published
the petition week ago. and, as an indi
cation of The wishes of the people, has
received sheets containing signatures of
over thirty thousand dealers and farm
ers from the hay marketing states of
the Union, and has placed them before
the proper authorities at Washington.
AS the hay industry represents more
value than wheat, oats, corn or cotton.
and directly affects vast interest, it

DOES NOT LIKE CEREMONY

The correspondent of an English pa
per was recently accorded an interview
by the sultan of Turkey, and was sur
prised at the noticeable lack of cere-
mony with which he was received.
When the newspaper man entered the
royal presence he found his majesty
standing ready to receive him. The
descendant of Mahomet II. and Of
Selim had no rich turbans. no jeweled
robes, no ornaments, nothing that dis
tinguishes princes from ordinary peo-
pie in the east, except the true orna-
ments of the noble and well born, po-
lite bearing and refined expression.
He appeared perfect European
prince. if anything politer and simpler
than ordinary men. His majesty has
even cast off the aigrette which his
predecessors wore with the fez. There
were no intricate ceremonies to be
gone through as at the reception of the
great mogul or at other eastern courts.
There were no attendants present as

ly, wearing no orders, stars or decora-
tions of any kind. He is very fair, has
a round head plentifully covered with
grizzly gray hair, and possesses strik-
ing features" The interview was of
the most chatty and friendly charac-
ter, the sultan showing marked ac-
quaintance with literature, especially
that of the east, and his information
on general subjects is extensive.
When the correspondent arose to take
his leave the Turkish ruler put his
hand on the visitors head and gave

A pEsporIc RULER

One of the greatest misfortunes that
ian happen to man in his earthly ca
reer is to discover that he has stom-
ach. he may know it theoretically or
recollect the lessons in physiology OF
his schoolboy days, but according to
the San Francisco Chronicle, when he
finds ont by actual, personal expert
ence that he has q stomach he is to be
pitied. The whole science of gastrono-
my-and it is a sciencc-has been de-
vised and perfected for the benefit Of
the men who have made this discovery.
ALI the studies of the whole glittering
galaxy of gastronomists, all the cult
nary triumphs of the great restaurants
in the capitals of the world, are due to
the simple fact that men have found
out that they have stomachs. and that
that organ, when once discovered,
must be petted and flattered and
soothed and kept in good humor tc
prevent its revolving and creating rev.
that the primitive man never knew
that he had stomach. It has beer
reserved for civilization to make the
discovery, and it is by no means fore
gone conclusion that civilization
should pride itselfupon having done so.
The maxim that one never enjoys
good dinner until after it has been
eaten is refinement of modern and
degenerate days, containing much
sound philosophy from certain
standpoint, but that standpoint is
fictitious and mistaken one. There is
no natural reason why dinner, good
or bad, should be enjoyed. The one
object of eating is to satisfy hunger,
and that being done, the dinner
should be forgotten. 1t is only the inn
perious and arbitrary stomach which
insists upon further recognition Of
its claims, and it is only human weak
ness which submits to its demand. A
modern philosopher, in terse though
inelegant diction, has laid down this
maxim, which is almost idiomatic:
"You must down your stomach or
your stomach will down you" There
is more in this than will meet the eye
of the casual reader. The stomach may,
rs certain of the ancients believed, be
the real seat Of the emotions, passions
and affections, but we make great
mistake if we subordinate the ego to
a single organ, and especially to one
which is'only ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS upon
the favor shown it and the license
given it. Healthy children know moth
ing about their stomachs, except that
they ache sometimes if called on to do
double duty, and there is nothing so
healthy and happy in the world as a
healthy child. If children Of larger
growth could but ignore the gastric
organ or. forget it, dyspepsia would be-
come lost disease, and all the evils
that follow in its train would disap-
pear.

TARIFF BILLS AND TIE WEST.

When it comes to tariff for protection
or tariff for revenue, or only for ire
form" the west is sure to be discrimin-
ated against. There are so few pro-
ducts of the farm and of the pasture that
can be protected compared with the
products of eastern factories that the
tariff bill of any party is made to lean in
the direction Of eastern interests. Some
of our readers may remember an editor
ial attack once made by the EAGLE on
the Mckinley bill, which editorial was
reproduced with great glee by the DEM
ocratic papers of New York and Boston.
In that article it was declared that the
only articles of the western farmer re-
ceiving protection under the Mckinley
bill. as originally introduced, were
hay and hen eggs. Having been
made the recipient of several very lively
protests, as well as warm concmenda-
tions, by letters from Washington and
elsewhere, we wrote to Senator Plumb
calling his attention to the fact that one
of the most important items of produc-
tion by the Transmissouri country was
that of hides; that cattle covered the
prairies and lined the canons of all the
states and territories from the Missouri
river to the Pacific ocean and from the
British possessions to the gulf of Mexico,
for which the Mckinley bill did not pro-
pose one cent of protection; that So per
hide protection would mean millions
and millions of dollars to the west,
which tariff would probably not
add to exceed few cents to the
price of boots and shoes. We further
made the proposition that if he could get
the bill SO amended when it reached the
senate the west would be satisfied and
give the bill their support, reciprocity
or no reciprocity. In due time the
amendment was offered by Senator
Plumb in the senate and it was referred
to the committee. He afterwards told
us that within two days succeeding its
reference all New England seemed to
rush down to Washington and before
that committee, declaring that if such a
tariff was put on dry hides every boot
and shoe factory of the country would
be closed, throwing thousands upon
of men and women and
children out of employment and the
was defeated. There was !
left to us the hen eggs and hay. But |
by reference to a short editorial |
elsewhere it will be seen that the Wilson |
bill, as passed by the house, cuts the |
tariff on hay from 81 down to 50 per
ton.
While the EAGLE has always been a
protectionist as against free trade, not |
objecting to any schedule, however high,
SO long as it applied only to things in
which we had to compete with the
the worlds markets, yet we have been
forced to protest against the one-sided
interests and ideas SO persistently sought
to be enforced by the dominating east.
As we said, there are but very few
items of western product that can be
absolutely protected, prominently
among which are hides and hay.

There is a young lady seated at the

as progressive as his white brother.
There is one difference. The white

The government pays to support the
