A Descendant of Louis XVI.

Society in Holland and Belgium has
been q little interested in the recent
adventures of the soi-disant Prince de
Bourbon, who was for some time an
officer in the Dutch army. The indi-
yidual in question is the grandson OF
the matchmaker Naunderf, who
claimed to be the legitimate represent
alive of Louis XVI, and who was &C
knowledged as such by King William
III. Of the Netherlands. The watch
makers grandson entered the Dutch
army and rose to the rank Of Lieuten-
ant, but because he had taken a dis
like to his profession or for some
other reason he deserted and fled to
France.
There he found some persons who
believed in him as the true representa-
tive of the Bourbons, and who helped
him to enter business as a wine mer-
chant. In this he was not successful,
and the next news heard of him was
his arrest in the streets Of The Hague,
where be has just Seen sentenced to

The Safety Of Fast Trains.

Thirty years ago, when the average
speed of passenger trains was very
much less than at the present day. ac-
cidents were Of such frequent occur
renee, that people declared that, to
insure greater safety, it had become
necessary to ."hang a director" In
1895, out of upward Of LOCO, OOO, GOO
passengers carried on the lines of the
United Kingdom, only five were killed
One in 200, OOO, OO0-Whereas the num-
Der OF persons run ove and killed in
the streets Of London in a single year
was rs, or about n in 100000 OF
the population of the metropolis.
Surprising that each individual OF
the 5,5OO,OO0 of Londoners walked
abroad each day in the year, that
would give a total Of 2,207, 500,oaO
wllkers against 1,OOO,OOO,oo0 travel
lers by railway, and produces the re-
markable Inference that, for every
mortal risk incurred by a railway pas
senger, the. walker in the streets has

The Majors Experience.

One Of the staunchest supporters OF the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to
the ocean is Major A. G.. Bishop, of IT'S
Third Ave., Detroit, q civil engineer of wide
experience and considerable prominence In
his profession. He was assistant engineer
On the Hudson River Railroad In 1880 and
has since conducted large engineering
operations. He has been located In Detroit
since 1851, and has Il large acquaintance
among the business men and citizens Of
this city.
Two years ago, for the first time, Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two
months he had the best Of medical atten-
dance, but when he was discharged he was
not like the Major Bishop Of old. When
asked regarding his health, he said: "When
| had my last spell of sickness and came
out OF the hospital [ was u sorry sight. I
could not gain my strength, and could not
walk over a block for SO ;eral weeks.

when the first pressure was brought to
bear they revolted and subsequent CO.
erciOn served only to increase their
resentment Of a system that virtually
proposed to take the management of
their affairs out of their own hands.
They refused to pay tribute, and raised
the banner of revolt.
Francis Wilson, with the heavy ex-
penses of his large comic-opera organi-
cation, has made, perhaps, more sacri-
fees than Mrs. Fiske or Mr.. Herne.
1t is impossible for him to play with
profit in the one night stands, and 1t is
with difficulty that he can present his
numerous company and elaborate seem
cry upon the small stages of inferior
theatres. 1t is serious matter then
for Mr.. Wilson to be shut out from halt
a dozen of his best cities.
| Manifestly this is neither just to the
travelling star or to the local managers.
The latter is scarcely better than a
janitor in his own theatre. He is not
free to open his doors to attractions
that under the old system regularly
appeared at his house, and he is fire.
quently chagrined to see his old friends
playing to better business in cheap
variety houses than the syndicate at
fractions are drawing to his.
| The rather startling statement is
made that it will be impossible for the
independent star to appear in San
Francisco or California during the
coming season. There are theatres
open, and time to be booked on the
coast, but it is impossible, at this time,
to book a route west of Kansas City
with profit.
The travelling expenses of first
class company, which may, with its
business staff, number from eighteen to
twenty-five persons are very great.
When one or two or three baggage cars
are added the expenses are materially
increased. If Omaha and Denver are
closed how then can the Independent
actor hope to reach San Francisco =?
The expense Of the unbroken journey
would go into the thousands. It is es-
timated that to take a company of
twenty-five persons and two baggage
cars from Kansas City to San Fran
cisco and return would require an out
lay of more than three thousand dol
lars. Four weeks on the coast would
be as long as a company could, under
ordinary circumstances, profitably re-
main. Thus travelling expenses would
average for these four weeks in the
neighborhood Of a thousand dollars
per week. This, with the expense of a
large company, would so reduce the
possibility of profit as to make the
journey impracticable.
William Dean Howells, Brander
Matthews. Augustin Daily, Joseph JEFF
ferson and many others have publicly
expressed their sympathy with Mrs.
Fiske and her colleagues. But, after
all, the waging of the war against the
trust is left to them.
