who lives in Berkeley. denies the story told
by the sister of Barney Barnato that her
brother never played in a circus Holturn
says that he and Barney Barnato perform
ca together in the same ring in LONDON
many years ago.
Il first met lsaacs. or Barnato as he af-
forwards called himself, while working in
John holturns royal circus, many years
ago lsaacs and his brother joined the cir
Gus at Leeds My brother John. the can
non ball king, did an act where he was
shot az by Il cannon which / fired Bar
nato he'd the ropes that bound my brother.
John would give the order to fire at his
head AT the word 'fire' Barnato was sup
posed to let loose the ropes so that nv
brother could catch the cannon ball
On one occasion young Isaacs or Bar
nat0, became ratified and at the signal fire
ne did not loosen his hold on the ropes. but

along the top OF Johns head, and left him

From that moment to this have never

A REAL LIVE PRINCE
Presence in Washington of Distinguished
Scion Of Royalty.
Flu VIVA KOOn, Second Son OF the
King of Corea, Will Study
American Institutions.

Prince Flu VIVA Koon, the second son of
the King Of Corea, and a man who Is prob
ably destined to play an important part In
the future affairs of the orient, has arrived
In Washington. He Is accompanied by PAX
Wong Kin. formerly Corean charge d af-
flares In Washington. and Six Sung Goo.
His visit to Washington is not intended to
be brief. Prince Koon has come to study
the institutions OF the greatest republic on
earth; to perfect himself in English, of
which he already speaks sufficiently to
make himself understood. and to equip
himself with ideas of modern civilization
and progress. which may stand him In ex-
ceiient service some day in the future.
He is short. smooth-faced man. we'll
along in his thirties: of amiabe disposition
and keen powers of observation.
May Enter u College.
He will look over the educational facilities
In the national capital. and the proba bilities
are that he will enter one of the colleges
here, and while pursuing the studies there
in. devote himself as well to close investi-
CATION of the methods of the government
and familiariZe himself with the causes
that have made this country that which he
very properly thinks 1t is-the greatest on
earth.
As her trts will show, Corea is advanced
W CONSIDERABLE degree, ana the capable
ties CT her people are closely similar to
those of the Japanese, while they are
equally susceptible to the influences of
modern thought and progress. The deci-
sion of Prince Koon to make the capital of
thic country his abiding place is regarded
as great compliment by observers Of in
ternational affairs. Paris, London, Berlin,
Vienna. and PARTICULARLY st. Petersburg, are
favored by most Of the eastern princes for
purposes of education. but the fact that
the United States does not interfere with
CCfean affairs. either in a domestic or an
international sense. has Influenced the
prince to make Washington his temporary
home.
Probable King.
Prince Koon may be the next king of
Corea. His elder brother who is the pres
ent crown prince is deficient mentally. and
Is in very poor physical health. A nephew
of the present kings will have claims to
the throne in case The crown prince can
not succeed his father.
The nephew Is said to be a man Of no
principle and one who would not hesitate
to use all sorts Of means to further his
ambitions. Consequently Prince Koon has
very difficult set Of problems before him
II the question Of succession to the throne,
to which he would naturally succeed In
case Of his brothers incapacity, Is opposed
by the kings nephew.
The education he will get in this coun-
try and the broadening of his powers that
Will undoubtedly enSue from his association
with Americans of force will unquestion-
ably strengthen his ability to cope with the
issues that may arise.
