Royal Rsser..

With the exception of Queen Victoria
and the Prince of Wales nearly all the
Royalties of Europe have very praise
worthy, but, at the same time exceed
ingly inconvenient habit of getting up
early in. the day.
The Emperor William is generally
abylt by five in the morning; the Queen
Regent of Spain is dressed for the day
at seven although no one else is, awake 8
in Madrid before eleven O'Clock or noon;
King Humbert's hour OF rising is six
as is that of King Oscar. and King Charlie
of Roumania, while the late Emperor
Dom Pedro, of Brazil, when in Europe,
was went to get up at three and cali
upon his Friends and acauaintafices at
ethe extraordinary hours of four and five
in the morning
Queen Victoria never rises before eight
while breakfast at Marlborough House
and Sandringharn is rarely partaken of
before that hour. The Empress Eliza
beth Of Austria is the despair of the
management of the bathing establish

they are obliged to keep it open all
night, and to provide it with a double
set of attendants.
She insists on taking her bath at the
unearthly. hour of 8 80 in the morning
In this custom of getting up at Strange
hours she is in sympathy with her sllUs-
band, for Francis Joseph is in bed every
night at nine O'Clock and up by four at
the very latest, having accomplished
much of the business of the day before
the majority of his subjects open their

BARKs LOST FOR EVER.
Stray Dogs VIII sse Drowned in the
Efaekemsack To-day

On the banks of the Hackensack neal
the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks stands
the red-painted dog pound. There is quite
difference between the dog show and
the dog pound. In the latter place it takes
more than an expert TO trace the ances-
try of the captured dog. The Jersey City
pound may BOAST of some fine specimens
of the canine species, and timid land
owners will find some fine watch dogs
among them.
The activity of the dog catchers has
been rewarded by a collection of some
hety-one unclaimed dogs, and the prize
money for eleven redeemed CANNES at
50 cents per head and the receipts OF
their board and lodging which is % cents
per day makes the dog revenue reach
something like SIS. These figures have
been verified by Warden Calhoun, the
successor of Warden Hill, who resigned
his position because he labored under the
impression that the dogs needed wash
ing more than drowning, and accord
ingly let several of his catch escape from
the sinking and drowning apparatus
which looks like a miniature chicken
coop filed with stones.
rms was the first accident of the kind
although S6S dogs have been killed during
the past year.
The dogs which the warden has on
s;T, hand look like well-fed lot of animals,
with GOOD strong yet melancholy barks
ItSis said that if a dog whines it is a sure
sign of death; The rule holds good in this
case, since the lot are to sink into the
beautiful Hackensack this afternoon be-
tween four and five O'clock. These dogs
are singing their own dirge.

SUGAR MARKET PROSPECTS.
Prices Will Rise owing to II,
adequate supply.
f7u CdEle TO the United Press.

LONDON, May %, 1896.-A representa-
tive of the United Press, with a view of
getting acurate information regarding the
prospects of the sugar market has seen
several of the best men concerned there
in. Mr.. Neville Lubbock head man in
one of the chief colonial sugar firms nd
chairman of the West India Committee
said the supply of the world from July
1894. to July, 1885, was about 5000 tons in
excess of consumption. The supply from
July, 1895, to July, 1896 was estimated
at 100000 tons under the preceding year
The 100000 excess did not suffice to carry
over that year, and fer the following year
it was difficult to see how anything like
an adequate supply ceuld be Forthcoming
Prices therefore niust'srise.
When asked what could be done to
meet the Inadequate supply Mr.. Lubbock
said:-There is nothing fof it but al Tez
ductlcn in CONSUMPTION. which can be

supply cb the worm, now about j, ,9eO,e

troubles in Cuba, and from what he had
heard privately the Spanish We're InSk-
g Wgose easMs posy It fsanzf Ra 10 the asaEs 3s to
be grown. The sreeerSt fall in sugar was
brought about by spectators who were
realizing on beet root purchased by them
in April and in early May A very Curl
Gus feature was that the new crop of
France (Octeber, 98, to March, 9z, de-
llvery) had been dealt in at higher prices
than the present crop demanded. OF
course New York was not receiving its
usual supply from Cuba-that summer
especially-and must come to Europe for
It, New York has already drawn as
much sugar from Java and Egypt as
American houses could. Those supplies
from the East must finish within a
months time. American refinsrs held
very small stocks. Sc they are expected
to come on the London market shortly
for their monthly supplies.

LONDON, May %, 1Ss6.-The scene in
the House of Commons yesterday morn
ing during the discussion of the Agricul-
tural Rating bill, when several members
We're suspended after being named" by
the Speaker, recalled the session of fif-
teen years ago when the Irish questions
were prominently to the fore. There is
a promise that there will be many such
sessions during the present session. The
all-night sitting of the House was a sur
prise to the manager of the refreshment
rooms who had made no provision to
supply the members with breakfast. AT
five O'Clock in the morning his supplies
were exhausted and there was a large
crowd demanding that their wants be sup
piled. The manager, however, proved him
self worthy of the occasion. He awak-
ened a number of caterers in the vicinity
of the House and finally bought up their
supplies and the entire contents of a fish
shop. All these supplies were conveyed
to the House of Commons in cabs. After
wards the manager stopped number of
market-bound wagons and bought a
thousand eggs, and thus was able to meet
the demands that Were made upon him
by the hungry members, who soon cleared
the refreShment room of all its provi-
SionS.

interest WAS excited This morning many
prominent members of society went to the
House to see the sport and the galleries
were soon full.
Among the visitors were many ladies
whose husbands had been compelled to
stay away from home all night, ana they
had the pleasure of seeing their 1iege
lords attfred in evening dress which they
had worn the previous evening doing on
the benches.
The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain
Secretary of State for the Colonies had
at the Hotel Metropole early in the even
ing, and had gone thence to the House in
full evening dress, which in the early
he had no time to change his attire. The
debate in itself was not amusing, and
often the participants could not curb
their angry feelings.
