ROYALTY IN THE BIoGRAPH.
The Prince of Wales and Family
Pose at Breakfast.

(From the New York Journal)
London Nov. 1S.-The Prince of Wales
and other members of the royal family
have now taken a step that is absolutely
without precedent in English official or
domestic life. 10 a large group, num-
bering NEARLY dozen, they have posed
before the biograph, which is an improved
kinetoscope, III the act of eating their
breakfast. This has now been placed in
one of the London music halls, and it
will soon he seen in New York.
Here the W hole world is invited to come
in and look at royalty eating its breakfast
All pretense of domestic privacy has been
thrown to the winds by the Prince of
Wales, There is no episode in the daily
family lie around which, as rule, the
veil of privacy is more closely drawn than
the breakfast. Very few people would
consent 10 be photographed at dinner, and
there is always more or less of a protest
when such proposition is made at public
dinners il America. But here you see
right into the family life of the royal
family.
In this extraordinary scene, which was
carefully arranged and gone through for
the benefit of the photographers, you see
the Prince of Wales putting lump yf
sugar into his coffee, you see the rovalbaby
playing will. cog, YOU see the Duke Of
York butteriug his toast, and you see the
Duchess of York breaking an egg and eating
1t with spoon. The walters come and
place slices of toast before the Prince of
Wales, which he calmly proceeds to eat,
and you can see the morning pap care
fully prepared fot the royal baby, an |.
as 1t is fed to this kid, you ca witness the
distribution OF the zap over its face and
clothes, and many other little domestic
details generally hidden in the privacy OF
the family.
No. such extraordinary spectacle as this
royal breakfast, which is now heing pa.

Burned-Little Insurance.

LeavenwCrth, May THE finding
yesterday of several black masks in a
raVine near the ruins of the burned sa-
loon of John Knapp reveals the fact
that several citizens in the neighbOr-
hood handed together to fire the build
ing, being unable longer to stand the
riOtous conduct of those drawn thither
by the refreshments served.
Last Saturday morning at 2:30 a
frame building located at the corner of
Fifteenth and Ottawa caught fire and
burned to the ground. The building
had for some time past been occupied
by John Knapp and operated as a sa-
loon. Knapp did not live in the build
ing, and when he closed up at night
would leave for his home, which was
within 200 yards.
About two weeks ago it was rumOred
in the neighbOrhOOd contiguous to
Knapp's place that a salOonkeeper who
had been conducting joint on Chero-
kee street was making an effort to rent
Knapp's building ostensibly for a sa-
loon, but IN reality for an improper
house.
This aroused some of the neighbOrs,
and an order sailing under the euphOni-
Gus pseudORym knights of the Mystic
COWI' was at once organized, the pur-
pose Of said organization being to pre-
vent such 4 contingency, mildly if pos
sible, but forcibly if necessary.

Washburn Won Easily = Pitcher
Stricklett's Good Work.

People who attended the Washburn-
Ottawa base ball game yesterday after
nOon-and there was q fair sized crowd
saw a poor game with lots of kicking
thrown in to make fun measure. The
teams were little late in beginning the
play.
When they did begin they played slow
ball. Ottawa kicked on nearly every
thing, and four or five times prepared
to retire from the game in anger. They
objected to the umpire's decisions Ed
Leland. the son of Cyrus Leland, held
the position. 1t is true that a few of
his decisions were very close, but then
it was apparent that he was doing what
he thought was right, and in more than
one case WaShburn felt as if a mistake
had been made on their side But they
didn't kick like the visitors The action
Of the Ottawa players especially Pitch
er Vance and Catcher E.Davis remind
ed one Of small boys.
When the teams got down to work Oc-
casionally some good work was seen.
Stricklett, pitcher for Washburn is a
most promising player. His delivery is
swift and his control is fair. He struck
out u men while the Ottawa pitcher
made only three fan the air. Washburn
made four errors, all of which were
critical Ottawa made nine nice large
errors.

Washburn had the game on the go and
