ure historian, the minute details OF
his relations, as an humble Yankee,
a dealer III ropes and oil, with one
of Royal blood lie Is well aware
of the fact that the vast majority Of
readers prefer to read Of the per
sonal incidents Of Royal character
than to read about the sleepy events
of the average community. Capt.
Palmer feels that this vast majority
Of readers, when the twentv-first
century is reached, will eagerly
''devour" the minutest incidents Of
his brilliant career as a Patent
duplex Combination Of statesman,
friend and door attendant Of Mrs.
Dominis. He states that when he
entered her service, he expected to
pay for any little delicacies, which
he might order for himself at the
"Shoreham," in Washington. His
Interpretation Of the contract, as he
wishes future generations to clear
/ ~ understand was, that he paid for
extras" He then continues, Eat
dinner, | drink a certain kind of
wine, without which my meal
would be incomplete and unsatis
factory" This Is a vivid picture
of the sorrows of his stomach, if it
were not lined up with alcohol. In
view of his own understanding of
the contract, he made no charge
against Mrs Dominis for this Eek
tra," but she, with a generosity
which burst through all narrow
limits, paid for the article. The
millions of readers in the future,
are to be left in ignorance of what
that Certain kind of wine" is.
There he draws an impenetrable
veil. But these readers of the fut-
ure must know it, that it is
"swipes" of which Capt. Palmer
became very fond, while a resi-
dent here. 1t was the only delicate
liquor which quieted his nerves,
when DR.. McGrew's rooster
crowed under his window in the
early morning. Let the next visi-
tor, from Honolulu, at the Shore
ham, look at the entry of ''Hono-
lulu swipes," on the wine list.
The Captain, in the next place,
inscribes for the unborn millions
the fact that che must have lunch
con in the middle of the day" He
has nothing to say about the ex-
Queens luncheon. AS a seafarm-
ing he wanted to say 'lobscouse
at eight bells" He says that when
this hour arrived, it was the wish
and order of "Her Majesty that
the betting should instantly be
thrown off the wheels of the Royal
Court machinery, and silence reign
and no business be transacted until
his luncheon was finished with the
consumption of a quart of 'swipes"
of the make of 1894.
At 9 p. M, Capt. Palmer tells
the world, he was allowed to retire,
and in the sweet restoration of
sleep, gather strength to prosecute
those comprehensive schemes,
which would make his name i'm
mortal.
The reporter finally pressed the
Captain on the delicate question,
whether or not, his profound ad-
miration had not passed into an
attachment" which might
might not be mutual. The report
er went too far. The chivalry of
the Captains nature, reinforced by
the judicious use of ''swipes" re-
fused to open the gates behind
which will the caverns in which
slept the ambitious hopes of his life,
amid coils of rope and gallons of
whale oil. If he '1oved a Queen"
it was a secret which he refused to
share with the unborn millions. Mol

friends of the cause.

PLAGUE TURTLES.
Lots of EN- Landed High and Dry
Near Branch Mills by the New
Jersey Flood.

Elizabeth, N. J., Aug. Boa party OF
Westfield fishermen who went out to
Echo lake near Branch Mills yesterday
tell some peculiar tales of their expert
ences.
They found few fish, but they say
there were enough swapping turtles
about to make things lively. For sew
eral years the snappers have been so
numerous in the pond that they crowd
ed the fish out, killing many of them
There were turtles everywhere. They
were found crawling in every direction,
evidently hunting for the pond, and
they got in all sorts of scrapeS. The
snappers were of all sizes, from foot
across their shells down to a few inches
but the little fellows seemed to be just
as handy with their jaws as the larger
ones.
The fishermen said they saw three in
a yard near the Baldwin place and that
one of the turtles caught chicken by
the leg. The turtles head was cut on
and the jaws pried open in an attempt
to save the fowl, but it was found that
the leg had been crushed.
At Weingarter's boarding house sew
eraI of the turtles crawled into the cell
lar, and German was sent to get them
out One of the snappers tore hole
in his bootleg and the man nearly faint
ed. The fishermen say they were told
of another snapper that got into pig
pen One of the hogs started to make
a meal of the turtle and lost portion
of it's law.

invariably subjects one to embarrassing
criticism, questions and comments,
bringing one into rfdicule and derision
and often requiring embarrassing and hu-
