Story Of a Titled spendthrift.

In Vienna a man has Just been buried
who, though he lived in great poverty,
was closely connected with the royal
house of Wurttemberg. This was Count
Eberhard Won Wurttemberg, grandson OF
Duke William of Wurttemberg and the
Baroness Tunderfeld. In his youth he
made himself so disagreeable to the
reigning house by his eccentricities that
he was kept a prisoner in the Ulm Tor
tress. His escape was romantic affair.
He swan across the Danube and fed to
Austria, never to leave it again until
death.
He had few wants and succeeded in
living on next TO nothing until the king
of Wurttemberg gave him an annuity.
But he regularly spent the whole OF 1t
during the first half of the month and
had nothing to live ON during the rest.
Part of his small income was spent
upon his daughter, who survives him.
Count Eberhard composed music, and
his one JOY in life was to hear military
bands play his compositions, of which
the Alexander, Tegetthof and Emperor
William marches are still ON their roper
tory. His purse was empty, as usual
after his three days illness, and this
cousin of the king of Wurttemberg, with
his fine physique and noble bearing, had
a third class funeral and no mourners
except his poor landlady. he reached
the age of so and had lived 40 years in
Austria. London Standard

Hiding Their Lights.

The increase in crime has led to the
formation of a novel club. Fifty men of
wealth and high standing in business
circles have organized an "antijewelry
wearing club" and have pledged them
selves not to wear anything in public
calculated to tempt pickpocket or foot
pad, not even a watch and chain, until
the police department shows some sign
of suppressing crime. This action was
taken after a we'll known millionaire
who likes diamonds had a 5000 "spar-
kler" plucked from his shirt front while
he was enjoying a cigar on the front
platform of surface car. As result Of
this action, these members of the club
who formerly disported diamond rings.
to say nothing of diamond collar but
tons and other expensive ornaments, are
going around today like other plain citi-
zens. Thus contempt for the police
promises to work at least one needed re-
form. 1t may suppress a vulgar display
of dazzling wealth here.-Kansas City

Did a MisspelIed Word Cause War;

An ingenious explanation of the ac-
tion of DR.. Jameson is given by the
London correspondent of the Birming-
ham Gazette. According to this, Jane
son, with his men, was waiting for
some word from johannesburg 1t came
in a telegram worded thus: Revolution
carried, in compliance with your de-
SIRE" That was the telegram received.
The telegram actually sent from the
johannesburg committee was, "Resolu-
tion carried, in compliance with your
DESIRE " That "v" instead of IS" made
all the difference. Jameson made his
plunge into the enemy's country, expect
ing to find the settlers in arms waiting
for his coming. Instead, he found only
great masses of armed Beers barring his
way. The Beers were fully prepared and
expected his coming. This raises the Gu
rious suggestion, Had they anything to
do with altering the telegram Was it
trap for the English raiders to draw
them on in order to justify the quaint
utterances of Kruger that when the tor
toise put out its head they would cut it
off?

Rrice and the Cabbies.

Every man with plug hat and a
heavy beard who leaves the capitol, on
the east side, after the adjournment of
the senate, creates a regular scramble
among the "cabbies" who stand on that
side of the building, for just at that
time they are looking for Senator Brice,
who invariably rides home in one OF
these vehicles and who never gives less
than a dollar for very short ride, and
not infrequently considerably more,
which fact makes the senator a very de-
sirable passenger, and hence the unusual
scramble of the 'cabbies. !"
The senator seems to enjoy it, how
ever, and usually takes the first vehicle
that reaches him, whether it be hack,
a cab, hanson or coupe.
The other evening the senator, togeth-
or with friend, was leaving the CAPT
tol at the usual exit, and when the
"cabbies" saw him the usual scramble
ensued, and the senator had hardly walk
ed ten yards before he was surrounded
by no less than dozen vehicles of every
description. But the senator did not seem
to take the rush in his usual smiling
way on this day, and walking over near
the cab stand he and his friend jumped
into the only vehicle that did not make
dart to secure him.
The driver did not recover from his
establishment for about a minute, but
when he did he whipped up, and going
past his brother "cabbies" he nearly fell
off his seat laughing, while the senator
locked out of the window and smiled. -

THE GOVERNORS TACT.
An Incident of Social Life at q South Az
rican Mine.

1t was at Pilgrims Rest goldfields
in the Transvaal one sultry evening in
the spring of 1880 The Zulu war was
just concluded and peace and plenty
had come with Christmas just past after
more than five years of continual border
warfare and financial depression.
The party were awaiting the arrival
of Colonel Sir Owen Lanyon, the govern
or of the Transvaal during the brief
British regime, who had promised to
ride in from Leydenburg, 35 miles dis
tant, and attend dinner to be given in
his honor.
In talking over the preparations for
the event, some i'll advised youngster
wondered if the respect due to the gov
ernor demanded the wearing of evening
clothes.
Each of the party owned a dress suit,
put away somewhere, but none had a
Numbered white shirt. The shirts were
there, but they had not been in use in
months, and Parker, the only store
keeper, had never even heard of starch
In this dilemma DR.. Ashton, who
was in camp on visit, volunteered to
ride to Leydenburg and buy some, and
did so. A laundry was an unheard OF
luxury, but the youth who had started
the trouble declared he knew how starch
was used, and offered to direct the wash
ing and ironing of the shirts With the
aid of an ancient negro who did odds
and ends around the store they were
fixed up and duly delivered
When the men in evening dress sat
down, they discovered that the zeal of
the volunteer laundryman had far out
stripped his knowledge. The shirts had
been starched back and front from col
lar to hem. There was no time to make
any change and the martyrs to fashion
resolved to sit it out. Most of them had
increased in muscle and girth since their
clothes were made and looked fully as
unhappy as they felt.
Soup was served as soon as the gov
ernOr arrived He noticed that his hosts
were moving uneasily in their seats,
and the chairman of the occasion, big
Africander serene in flannel and cordu
roy, explained in whisper the cause.
Then Colonel Lanyon exhibited a speci-
men Of the tact that had made him be-
loved, and is still remembered grateful
ly by many who experienced his cour-
tesy. As soon as he recovered the use of
his voice he rose in his chair and made
perhaps the most welcome address he
had ever uttered.
Gentlemen" he said, "it's so in
formally hot that I must ask your per-
mission to take off my coat and this
thick collar would have done SO with
out asking, only you all look SO spick
and span. wish you would keep me in
countenance by following my example "
The governor looked deliciously cool
in thin undress uniform coat and duck
riding breeches, and the men recognized
the goodness of his suggestion and gave
him three cheers. Then they stripped to
their undershirts and trousers and en-
joyed the remainder of the evening, not
withstanding the jokes of those guests
who had not been blessed with univer-
sity Quotations and aristooratic tastes.
The discarded shirts were stood around
the back of the room like tombstones as
monuments to their owners discom-
future, serving as rests to hold up the
castoff coats and waistcoats. New York

RIFLE RANGE AT ORDwAY.
II was announced in these columns a few
weeks ago that the rifle range at Ordway
would soon change ha nds, the management
OF the affair being taken from the National
Guard because Of their inability to maiD-
tain the targets and other features of an
outdoor range. This transfer will soon
be made.
The National Rifle Association OF Amer.
lea. the new owners of the range, were in
corporated yesterday. and the members viii
soon take possession of their property. That
the Guard will profit by this new condition
OF fairs there can be no doubt. The new
association, by renting tue range 20 the
regular army. the marine corps and posi-
bly, the National Guard of Maryland. will
be enabled to support the range at much
less expense to themselves than the Ma.
tional Guard OF the District could have
done.
A meeting OF the inspectors of rifle prac-
tice will be held Tuesday night. when the
matter will be thoroughly discussed and
arrangements completed as far as possible
