pose, being charged at the usual rate of a
West End house. This means that a frock
coat may cost him twelve guineas, which
most people would regard as very fancy"
indeed; dress suit somewhere about ff-
teen. trousers four guineas, and an ordi-
nary ditto" suit from eight to ten gum
cas-.
When in town the frock suit Is inva-
riably worn by the prince. No doubt dur
ing the London season he CONSUMES" q
larger number of these articles-perhaps
two a month, of which one will be light
gray one.
And It is a habit Of his never to wear
a coat two seasons running. even II II has
only been used two or three times by him.
As he IS In town perhaps six months in
the year, his total OF "frocks" may be set
down roughly at twelve.
In dress suits he is supposed TO be par
ticularly extravagant but this is not real-
ly the case. Any man about town has hve
or six dress suits year. The prince may
have a dozen, but the story told in con-
temporary recently that he had one a week
Is pure nonsense.
When the prince is going to Newmarket
he often wears a ditto" suit with light
covert coat over It. In ditto" suis per-
haps his total would astonish the humble
man who pays his tailor thirty sounds
year and considers that heavy.
1t is certain that he never wears one
of these suits more than two or three
times, and his stock of them is tremen-
dous OF shooting suits for the autumn
he has an immense variety, using a diff
ferent style of dress for battue work TO
that adopted for ordinary work with the
dogs Here alone for country dress he
can scarcely spend less than hundred
a year.
In the matter Of hats, 1t Is a well-known
fact that the prince has three fortnight,
also buying a large number of bowler and
square black hats for country use.
At Sandringham there is hatroom,
with man whose chief duty II is to keep
the princes tiles" in a high condition OF
polish. In the same palace a number of
vast wardrobes contain the bulk of the
uniforms and clothes which are not in reg
ular use
Those large scarfs which are now worn
with a frock coat often cost half guinea.
There are scores of up-to-date youths
who have fifty pairs of gloves per annum;
three dozen shirts would be regarded as
an absolute minimum. So far as the
prince is concerned. he never wears
pair of gloves twice, and in this, and in
the matter of boots, he is unquestionably
the best-dressed man in the kingdom.

Having heard that Prof Muzzarelli
was going to send report on our pub

a reporter of the Morning News went to
see that gentleman and had last night
with him the following talk. At first
the professor was not inclined to give
out his views on the subject, but when
assured it was for the Savannah people
a matter of interest, he finally consented
to talk freely on the subject.
been intrusted by the French Academy to
study our educational system, and that
your report for that learned society is
quite ready?
This is a mistake sir; it is not for
the French Academy, but for the
Academy of Teaching, of which I am a
member. that 1 am now preparing such
a report"
Do we compare well with Europe on
matter of public education?
my dear sir, as you know, public edu-
cation is everywhere divided into three
different branches, namely, primary, sec
ondary and higher education, just as in
every form of government. we find the
executive, legislative and judiciary, and
no branch can infringe upon another
without dsorganizing at once the whole
system, and even imperlling the COM
monwealth.
Primary education is taught in the
grammar school; the secondary in the
high school, and the higher in colleges
and universities. The paramount duty
of primary and secondary edu-
cation 1t seems TO US, is to
provide children with the knowledge that
may prove useful for the success of life
and in our days of specialization and of
intense competition. nobody will deny
that the best schools are those that give
our children the best equipment for the
battle of life.
The Savannah grammar schools COM
pare well with those of other cities, and,
except perhaps for the fact that in some
cities foreign languages are taught, while
here nothing of the kind is attempted
the curriculum seems to be cut pretty
nearly on the same pattern, and. as a
rule your primary education compares
well with that of Europe"
How about our colored schools, and how
do they stand in your estimation?
IL have also visited them in company
with Supt W. H. Baker and found them
in very good shape indeed, and considering
the fact that colored people are paying
very small taxes, it is very creditable to
the city to keep such good schools. al

demonstrated by the fact that more than
10 persons of all ages have during the
last six months followed our course OF

better than any controversy the pressing

that in matters OF the kind the people have

The prince. of course, possesses, for the
most part colonePs uniforms, but as
field marshal he is compelled often to re-
new the terribly expensive outfit suited to
that rank; and it is in this fine tunic that
he appears at most military ceremOnials,
at royal weddings. or other great occa-
sions of state. In addition he possesses
many naval uniforms and the dress of a
large number Of German, Russian and
Austrian regiments.
Putting aside the question Of uniforms,
upon which his royal highness can not
spend less than three or four hundred
pounds a year, we come to his ordinary
dress. 1t is admitted universally that very
few men in town manage things with more
taste, or have a quicker eye for a good
cloth. There are youths. no doubt, whose
tailors' bills are tar larger than the
princes, for he Is by no means extrava-
giant, althouh exceedingly particular about
his clothes.

BUSY NAVY YARDS.
United States Preparing to Protect
Eastern Interests.

United States Preparing to Protect
Eastern Interests.
WASHINGTON, October 23..-There is
a sudden squirt of activity at the navy
yard and between Is and 100 men have
been on night work to finish up the
armament OF the battleship Oregon,
now lying at the Mare Island navy
yard at San Francisco. This IS ..hs
first time in many years that night
shift has ever been worked at the navy
yard and it is regarded as the most
remarkable since the force has been
continually reduced in the past year.
The officials at the navy department
are reticent about the night work. and
Capt. Sampson. chief of ordinance,
when asked if it was true that night
force was going to be put on, declared
he knew nothing about it. The fact
remains, however, that the electric
lights were turned on in the yard and
the men were set to work both in the
gun carriage mechanism shop and in
the southwest gun factory. What the
meaning of the sudden move is, can
only be inferred, but it is easy to see
that the Oregon, in Pacific waters,
could only be used to advantage for
protecting American interests in
oriental waters, since the Indiana,
already in commission, would be much
more available for Venezuela, which
the Oregon would have to reach by
steaming all the way around Cape
