trouble with the Welsh, and in 1889, in
battle, the Welsh prince became some
how entangled with his own name so
that he tripped and fell and before he
could recover his feet was slain.
Wales having been annexed to the
crown, Edwards son was vested with
its government, and the heir apparent
has ever since been called the Prince of
Wales. 1t is a good position, but be-

Preliminaries of Her Stage Debut.
In writing of her first appearance on
The stage Mary Anderson de Navarro
tells in The Ladies Home Journal that
tho opportunity to play was presented
her by Manager McCauley at his Louis
vile theater. The star who was playing
at the theater had failed to attract pay
ing houses, and DR.. Griffin, who was
Mrs. de Navarro's stepfather and her
business manager, suggested to Mr.. Nc
Cauley that she be given chance to
play. The offer was gladly accepted, and
Mrs. de Navarro writes that there was
only one rehearsal, and it was called for
the next morning. "On my way to the
cathedral" she adds, "I was enchanted
to see posters on the fences making the
announcement. The main part Of the
poster was devoted to advertising Mines

and proved to curious world that a
court fool in his household was super
f1uous.
John now became mixed up in o fra
Cas- with the Roman pontiff, who would
have been justified in giving him Ro-
man punch. Why he did not, no Roman
knows.
On the death of the archbishop of
Canterbury in 1905 Stephen Langton
was elected to the place, with a good
salary and use Of the rectory. John re-
fused to confirm the appointment, where
at Innocent III, the pontiff, closed the
churches and declared general lock-
out. People wero denied Christian bur-
ial in 1908, and John was excommuni-
Gated in 1909.
Philip united with the pope, and to-
gether they raised the temperature for
John so that he yielded to the Roman
pontiff and in 1913 agreed to pay him
comfortable tribute. The French king
attempted to conquer England, but was
defeated in great naval battle in the
harbor of Damme. Philip afterward ad-
mitted that the English We're not con-
quered by a Damme site, but the pope
absolved him for 50.
1t was now decided by the royal SUBJ
jects that John should be still further
restrained, as he had disgraccd his na-
tion and soiled his ermine So the bar
ons raised an army, took London, and
at Rumymedc, June Is, 1915, COM

A FIGHT IN SCHOOL.

"Ortleri Orderl" cried the teacher,
But the naughty thing was done
Eddie rubbed out Tommie's lesson,
And the fight had just begun.
Little chubby hands were clinching
Jackets torn and rumpled hair.
They could never sit together,
They were such a naughty pair.
So the teacher straightway stood them
In tho corner, with high caps,
And two little outstretched palms
From her ruler got ten slaps.
"Now, then, tell me all the trouble"
Said the teacher at recess,
But they both talked loud together,
Each one anxious to confess.
Hush, now, children" said the teacher
"Let Eddie speak; one at time"
So Eddie answered, all defiance,
"Tom said his ma uz prettier'n mine.

OF the Latter.
WASHINGTON, April 11.-Secretary
Olney has received a telegram from
Consul General Williams in which he
says that General Weyler has ordered
the release OF Ladislo Quintere The
dispatch also says that Walter Dygert
is well, and that the Captain General
is taking great interest in the case, but
he has to wait the action Of the court
having Jurisdiction in the matter
Quintere and Dygert are American
citizens, accused of completely in the
insurrection. The President has for
some time been accommodating informa-
ton from official, semi official and pri-
vate sources 20 enable him to form a
just conception of the actual condition
of affairs in Cuba.
Outside of Havana. at the first-class
ports of Cardenas, Cienfuegos, Matan-
zas, Sagua La Grande and Santiago
the United States has Consular offices
of high grade. Reports from the United
States Consular officials at these points
contain much valuable information,
which 1t is not deemed compatible with
the public interests to make public at
this time, as called for by the recent
resolution OF the House of Representa-
tiyes.
There are also a number of American
capitalists and others who own Cuban
plantations and have their American
managers on the island. From these
men much confidential information has
been and Is being received. With all
these sources for obtaining the facts
open to the administration, it has never
been contemplated at any time to send
General Schofield or any other army
officer to Cuba to investigate and report.
The President and Secretary Olney
have felt that they were getting at the
facts in much more satisfactory way
than by sending special Commissioner
and when they have received all the
information obtainable, and not till
then, will there be any consideration
Of the question as to what action or
whether any action should, be taken on

Later Reports Concerning His Expul-

fishes Constantinople dispatch to a
news agency here stating that the Turk
ish officials at Bitlis received orders
from persons high in authority to ex-
pei Rev. G. P. Knapp, the American
missionary, from that place. The dis
patch further states that it is probable
that but for Mr.. Hampson, the British
Consul at Bitlis, the expulsion of Knapp
would not have been known until he had
reached Alexandretta AS it was, the
matter had been conducted so secretly
that Missionary Knapp had been ex-
PEELED from Bitlis a week before Mr..
Hampson become aware of the fact
Owing to the bad condition of the roads,
the dispatch adds, Mr.. Knapp was un-
able to take his family.
