MRS. PALMER ON PRINCES.
Declares They Look and Act Like
Any Other Men.

New York. June 5.-Before leaving
Miss Grants home in East Sixty second
street, where Mrs. Potter Palmer stop
ped to rest on her way through to Chi
cago, she saw and talked with repre-
sentative of a local newspaper.
You know, really can not let you
interview me-" she said, because inter-
views are my pet antipathy. No matter
what stand one may make on any posi-
BILE subject, it will be sure to strike
nome TO some one, and there will al
ways be people who consider the re-
marks were especially set forth to offend
them.
You remember the Worlds Fair and
the official part I took in it? Well!
Wen! Wasn't it dreadful? After it was
all over just wanted to slip back into
my shell, away from the public gaze,
and never see an interviewer again. So,
now could l break SO good a resolution,
and one have kept for so long?"
But politics made the Worlds Fair
position irksome and the interviews an
moving, and politics and princes are Sc
different"
20, it's princes you want to learn
about. But don't you know princes are
just like anybody else? Really, they
look just like other men. Behave like
any gentleman. Walk, talk. dance,
drive, and
"COurt?''
II. II don't believe one ever courted me"
But what is your best Judgment"
judge?''
well. yes"
Then my best judgment is that
counting is an art in which most men
are well VerSed. and 1 don't know how
being a prince can improve it any,
DO you think marriages of American
girls with royalty are usually success
fuI?"
That depends; what do you infer by
a successful marriage?"
One which results in continued hap
piness to both parties
Mrs. Palmer'S affability became pro-
nounced and she smilingly replied:
When such marriages occur she
said simply, II think it is the result of
continued congenialty. Being prince or
publican, American girl or girl of any
other nationality, can surely have little
weight in the matter of the ethical
affinity existing between two persons
concerned
Then love is a necessary factor for a
happy marriage, either national or
otherwise p"
20, I don't think so. I have seen ro-
mances terminate happily in which love
was small factor in the beginning and
l have also seen marriages which were
hopeless failures but which started with
love unlimited. It's an uncertain uuan-
tity, no matter what the original mo-
tive
But Miss Grants rOmance?"
is a love affair pure and simple I
believe every one understands that"
And her chances for happiness out
of this uncertain quantity %
Are most roseate," said Mrs. Palmer.

London, June 5.-The Duke of West

considerable addition to their pin mon

Lady Ormonde, Lady Gresham, and
Princess Adolphus of Teck are all en-

Lady Grosvenor's tastes are more lit
erary than sporting, but her children
are all plucky riders, though the tragic
accident which deprived Lady Chesman
of her little daughter might make any
other mother determine that her
daughters should never learn riding.

TO SPIN METAL.
An Important Invention by Cleve-
land Man.

Cleveland, O., June flames H. Bev-
has completed a device for spinning
metal which promises to work import
ant changes in various lines of metal
manufacturing. The principle upon
which the discovery is based is extreme
" simple. The metal that is spun is in
tubular form, and is placed in a lathe,
which turns at the rate of $500 revolu-
lions a minute l a moments time the
metal becomes hot and softens from the
friction and can then be shaped by the
operator according to his wishes. The
tool which consists of hard steel jaws,
touching on either side of the revolving
tube. can be readily gagged to any de-
sired width and the softened metal may
be spun down by means of pressure to
any size or shape, so long as a circular
form is retained.
