SHE MAY SETTLE IN WASHINGTON.


LILIUoKALANI is SAID TO FIND IT A MUCH MORE
coNGENIL PLACE OF RESIDENCE
THAN HONOLULU.
Washington. Jan. 30 (SpeciaD-"The Star" this
afternoon prints the interesting rumor that the
present visit OF the ex-Queen Of Hawaii to WASH
ington may result in her making this city her
permanent home. Those who father the rumor
point to the fact that she would undoubtedly fn1
Washington more attractive place OF residence
than Honolulu where her surroundings al!
such as TO remind her of the days when she was
on the throne and ruled the islands with firm
hand. She has never been sincerely reconced TO
the new condition Of affairs and should she really
become satisfied that she has no chance Of return
ing TO power. X would be only natural that she
should choose separate herself from, the scene
of her former greatness.

the whole transaction, and it Is practiced

classical authors what virtue was believed

EXPLAINED TO THE CONDUCTOR.
How tho Passenger Knew That He Had
Paid His Fare.

Many conductor In a crowded car In
cases OF doubt identifies those who have
not paid their fare by their manner when
he approaches them. Conversely there are
few passengers who are SO absentmind-
ed that they judge whether or not they
have paid their fares only by the way the
conductor looks at them. When one OF
these cases comes into conjunction with
the other, the result may be peculiar.
Tie man was thinking very deeply when
he entered the car at State street He paid
his fare at once and when the car was
approaching the tunnel and 10 had filled
up he noticed for the first time that the
conductor was nearing him N his tri-
umphal progress Of collection.
Doubt az once entered the mind OF the
man as 20 whether or not he had paid his
fare. But he had a sure way OF finding
out. When he began the Journey as he
knew, he had In his pocket but cents. or,
in more definite terms, nickel ard four
coppers Knowing as he did that at the
other end OF the route he would find mon
ey in plenty he had not hesitated TO spend
more than half OF what he had In his
pocket for the ride And there he was.
Brief investigation showed that there
remained in his pocket but the four pen

Just then the conductor said, Fare.

II paid you once
Now, the conductor had been uncertain
on his own side, but the spectacle of a pas
senger searching his change pocket was
pretty conclusive evidence against the pas
senger, and 1t had TO be settled
Maybe you did, but l don't remember
you, and you were just looking in your
pocket for change You'd better pay now
and make sure"
Inasmuch as the passenger could not
remember where or when or under what
circumstances the nickel had been paid,
he was stumped.
II can prove it," he finally urged, $50
that know it myself, even If you don't"
He led the way to the rear platform,
where he conflded to the conductor his
state and the payment which 1t proved, to
the satisfaction Of the appreciative listener

enough to hear the story Chicago Rec

TOLLS THE KNELL OF ROYALTY.
Curious Regulations That Govern the Use
of st. Paul's Great Bell.

OF 81. PauIs Great Nell.
The great bell of st. PauPs was not
tolled for Prince Henry of Battenberg, be-
cause he was not in the line of descent
from any English sovereign This honor Is
paid only to member of the royal family
who could under any conceivable circum-
stances succeed to tho throne, though 1t
may be doubted whether the bell would
toll for royal infant not in the direct
line of succession. This rule does not APP
ply to the consort of the sovereign, of the
heir apparent or of prince or princess on
the steps of the throne. The booming Of
the great bell of St Paul's was the first
intimation which the citizens of london
received of the death Of the prince con-
sort, which occurred at IL o'clock on the
night of Saturday, Dec. IA, 1861
Outside the royal family the only per-
sons for whom the bell is tolled arc the
archbishop of Canterbury, the bishop Of
London, the dean of st. Paul's and the
lord mayor of London dying in his year Of
office. The bell tolled is not Great Paul,
but the old great bell on which tho hours
are struck. On the occurrence OF a death
in the royal family the home secretary at
once communicates with the lord mayor,
desiring him to convey the news to the dean
of St. Paul's, with a request that the great
bell may be tolled. The bell is then tolled
at intervals Of a minute for an hour. The
last occasion was on the death of the Duke
Of Clarence, on Ian. Ia, 1892. The duke
died at 9:15 a. m, and the bell was tolled
from IL till 12. At the funeral of the late
Canon Liddon in September, 1890, Great
Paul, which is much the deeper and more
sonorous bell of the two, was made avail
able, as by the rules the old great bell
could not be used. Westminster Gazette.
