A Prince Born,

A young prince was born in Anacon-
da yesterday morning at SEQ o'clock.
The young prince is a prince simply
because he cannot help IL. being the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. a. King. He IS
by birth entitled to royal title. Mi.
King is the happy father of two
charming little princesses. and the
birth of a son filled a place in his heart
that needed to be filled.
Mr.. King was very much delighted
yesterday and insisted that all his
friends should smoke to the long life
and prosperity of his son and heir,
which was done with a hearty vim by
his wide circle Of friends. Mr.. King
told a newspaper friend i'm confidence
that he had a name already picked
out for the young man and hat he
would call him Schley. This statement,
however, should not be taken as Off
cial. as II would be better Ia obtain
Mrs. Kings opinion on the subject be-
fore entering the young gentleman's
name upon the register as Schley. If
he only grows W a sgood-natured and
jolly a young mar as his father he
will be all right under any name.

RusslA's PRICELESS JEWELS.
Gems Worth n Kings Ransom Exhibited
in the Hermitage.

"a whole guide book devoted simply
to the Hermitage could give no sort of
idea Of the barbaric splendor of its be-
longings," writes Lillian Bell of the fa-
nous st. Petersburg museum. i'm the
July Ladies' Home Journal. Its riches
are beyond belief. Even the presents
given by the emir of Bokhara to the
car are splendid enough to dazzle one
like a realization of the Arabian Nights.
But to see the most valuable of all,
which are kept in the emperor's private
vaults, is to be reduced to a state of
bewilderment bordering on idioCy. 1t is
astonishing enough. to one who has
bought eve one Russian belt set with
turquoise enamel, to think of all the
.trappings of a hOrSe-bit, bride, saddle
girth, saddle-cloth and all-made Of
cloth Of gold and set in solid turquoise
enamel; with the sword hilt. scabbard,
belts and pistol handle and holster made
of the same. Well. these are there by
the roomful. Then you come to the pri-
waite Jewels. and you see all these same
accoutrements made of precious stones
one Of solid diamonds: another of dia-
monds, emeralds, topazes and rubies."

NOT FOR THE CAROLINES
The Morning Star Goes to San Francis
co With Sugar Cargo.
Next Trip Of Missionary Packet 10 Micronesia
Next Sprlng-Small Sailing Vessel for
This Years Service.

The story published in the
morning paper in regard to the
missionary packet Morning Star
and the change of plans which the
American Board had seen fit to
make after receiving instructions
from the Government at Wash
ington was a surprise to the cap
tain of the vessel. The article
went on to state that the Morning
Star would 90 to the Caroline
Islands direct instead of to San
Francisco.
The truth of the matter is that
the Morning Star will sail for
San Francisco on Monday, taking
cargo of sugar to be shipped by
g. Brewer & Co. This will pay
for the expense the vessel will be
under on the trip from this port to
San Francisco.
In a talk with Captain Bray
this morning the following story
of the future movements of the
missionary packet was obtained:
"We are going to San Francisco
because it will be easier for the
ship to lay up there than at this
port. The climate here is very
bad for a ship.
"We will miss one trip to the
islands of the South Pacific and
the morning Star will lay up until
March of 1899, when she will pro
coed as usual on her trip.
GAS you know, we have always
started in June heretofore and it
has been our experience each year
that this would take us to Micro
nesia just in time to catch storms
and all kinds of bad weather, try
ing to both the crew and the ship.
The earlier start next year will be
made with an eye to avoiding this
weather.
"The Morning Star has not
enough room in her hold to warrant
keeping her in the freight carry
ing business until she is ready to
start for Micronesia.
"On August 5 a sailing vessel
of about loo tons will sail for
Micronesia in the place of the
Morning Star, taking missionaries
and provisions for the various
missions that are to be found
there.

go to the Caroline Islands"

might have been surprised to
learn that the wealth of cultivated
