HIS 800 ANXIOUS WIVES.
Should the Ameer OF Afghanistan Die They
WOuld All Be Shot.

There is certain village in the Mid
lands where the illness Of the ameer Of
Afghanistan has been followed with
painful anxiety. The reason is to be
found in the following curious, but, ]
believe, perfectly authentic story: Some
years ago an enterprising young tailor
left the village in question and went
abroad to seek his fortune He eventu-
ally found his way to Kabul. Here great
luck awaited him. He obtained the pat
ronage Of royalty and became the poole
Of Afghanistan. He had left q sweet.
heart behind in England, and, as soon
as he found himself en- the road to for
tune he sent for the damsel to join him.
She came, but hero fortune deserted tue
tailor. His intended bride in her turn
obtained the patronage of royalty, with
the result that she eventually became
one Of the 300 wives Of Abdurraham.
This, however, is only the first act of
the tragedy. 1t is understood that, by
the laws Of Afghanistan, when the
ameer dies, the whole Of his 300 wives
must be shot. The laws Of the Afghans
are as immutable as thoseof their ancient
heighbors, the Medes and Persians, and
the whole Of the little Midland village
where the ameer's English wife was
born and where her parents are still liv.
ing has been during the past week or
two in high state of excitement over
the possible fate of the young lady. For
tunately the ameer seems better now,
and it is to hoped, if only for the sake
of his wives, whatever their nationali.
ty, that the improvement may continue
In the meantime cannot diplomacy do
anything for the young woman? At his
time Of life, and with q gouty habit to
boot, I should have thought Abdurrah
might have been induced to get along
with 900 Of them. If, however, no must
have round number in the family cir
Gle, perhaps an exchange might be ne.
gotiated. London Truth.

Tho Mystery OF Ambergris.

Ambergris is an odoriferous, fatty
substance often found floating upon the
surface Of the ocean or upon shore,
where it has been cast by the waves. 1t
is known to bo morbid secretion Of
whales, but whether 1t is found in
their bodies irrespective of species or
age or whether in the stomach or intos-
tines is not certainly known. The best
authorities are of the opinion that it is
formed only in the intestinal canal of
tho sperm whale (Physeter macrocepha.
lus).
Lumps Of this curious substance range
in weight from one.half ounce to 100
pounds and upward, tho largest lump
known to history weighing 1879 pounds,
and was sold by a petty oriental mon.
arch to the Dutch East India company
over 100 years ago. The season 8 take Of
ambergris by American whalers seldom
averages 100 pounds for tho whole fleet.
In 1899 it was only 81 pounds, and in
1889 but 70. These figures will not seem
SO small when it is known that the 72
pounds taken in tie ye.s L.. L....,A

As he persistently grew worse, he was
taken to an establishment for the care
Of dogs, a sort Of private hospital, and
orders given that every attention and
effort should be made to save him.
Members of the family called two and
three times day to inquire for Kwik,
as the dog was called; but, despite all
care, Kwik died, and there was nothing
left for tho sorrowing family to do but
bury him. An undertaken was summon

grave. An oak casket, fitted into Sec
ond one of lead, was prepared and q

All official red tape was duly complied
with, and on the day of the interment
the funeral cortege comprised three car

The ceremony ended, the undertaker's s

ate that the sum of $40 was added to
be divided among the gravediggers. -

"BLAINE, A TRAGEDY"
A Drama For the Stage, Which VIII Not
Be Enacted In New York

De EnacIeu IN new 1Ork.
An American playwriter has been for
some time engaged i'll the composition
Of drama Of contemporary life in
which the chief character is to be IA
nous American statesman, now deceas-
ed. The title which he has chosen for
it is "Blaine, a Tragedy" 1t certainly
looks like bad taste to dramatize, at
least in this generation, the career of
the American here named, but the au-
thor maintains that he can do it inof-
fensively and in such way as to dig
nifty his subject, as the life of Mr.. Blaine
was full Of dramatic material, and as
there were scenes in it which would be
csne"iallv rnrvicaahla for p drama of
leal 444o. lie says Indt Shakespeare Ait., =
use Of personages who lived not long
before his time, and even of some who
were his contemporaries, and he gives
the names Of other playwriters who have
used their acquaintances in their stage
compositions. When reminded that even
the greatest and most picturesque Amer
leans Of past times, from the days Of
Washington to those Of Lincoln, had
never been used successfully for dramat-
ic material, as Shakespeare used the
kings Of England, he replied that this
was thing which would surely yet be
done in this country, as it has been done
in other lands, and that. In any event,
it is his purpose to begin the undertak.
ing.
is there any manager in New York, 1"
we asked, "who would bring out your
tragedy"
I" l do not know, but there is o man.
ager in Chicago who will bring it out
if it suits him."
"Do you not fear that there would 10
q storm Of popular reprobation if you
should make your chief character re-
semble the original?'
II there be anything of the kind, or
If the work fail to prove attractive, it
will be withdrawn after the first or Sec
ond performance. But there are in my
subject such striking elements for first
class stage drama and for winning
one that shall not think of its failure
until after it has failed"
Would not the relatives Of the de-
ceased statesman object to the work and
get out an injunction against its per-
formancep'
If such an objection shall be raised
by any ono entitled to speak with au-
thority, or after that one has been pres
ent at performance of it, it will be
discontinued. The man of my title role
has been asubject for painters, sculptors
and other artists, and there is no good
reason why he should not be made a
subject for dramatic artists"
After the playwriter had expressed
the views here reported, The Sun report
or asked theatrical manager as to the
prospects of drama of the kind spoken
OF. He answered that he did not believe
a single respectable manager in New
York or anywhere else would bring it
out, and that if brought out in any
American city, it would be fiat fail
ure. He believed that tho execution Of
the playwriter's project would not be
tolerated by tho theater going communi-
