KING OSCARS PLATES.

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post:
WHi1am Thomas Of Portland. Me-, Amer
lcan minister at Stockholm. is a great
FRIEND OF King Oscar. who has recently
abGicated in favor Of his son. ana tells
some interesting stories of that genial
monarch.
When King Oscam was at Paris some
years g he went about seeing the sights

pretended to transform themselves into
lions or other animals at night, and to
tfaVa! immense distances in this Suise.
They also assert that they acquire infor-
NATION at such times about stolen cattle
and ether lost property. DR.. Felkin says
that, although he has no explanation tn
offer In regard to these alleged feats. he
had Il chance to verify one Of thei"
stories.
One morning after his arrival at Lado a
man came to his tent. evidently in great
excitement. and said that the local wiz
ard, or "m'ligo,' had been roaming about
the country the night before. in the form
Of a jackal. During his rambles the
"m'logo' had visited REX.
fully $50 miles away, between l.ado and
Khartoum. The wizard declared that two
steamers had just arrived at this point.
and had brought mails. He also described
infinitely the appearance Of an English
officer accompanying the boats.
DIR. Felkin ridiculed tn story. But
Emin Pacha took the thing more serious
~. He directed that the wizard be
brought before him, and questioned the
fellow.
where did you go last night?"
II was at Meschera- REX"
What were you doirg there?"
II went to see some friends"
"What did you see?"
II saw two steamers arriving from

"Oh, this is nonsense! You could not

phatically. "Ana with the steamers was

good time" as n man so intensely busy
could encompass. His winters are spent
in New York. Toward spring he takes
his private car and Journeys to his Flor
ida. plantation. Summer he lives, and
has lived for two years, at Manhattan
Beach, and autumn finds him home again
in New York, ready to live another year
in the same even way.
The secret of Platt's power is said to be
his own personal evenness. He keeps a
clear head upon his shoulders, casts his
horoscope correctly and seldom makes a
political mistake. In 1881 when he was
supposed to be politically dead with
Conkling. he smiled and went right on.
Now he is stronger than ever.
Mrs. Plat is decidedly a business wo-
man. The oranges from her Florida
plantation supply h er friends with fruit.
Her other products are we'll sold. She
let's nothing GO to waste, and though not
a society woman, she dresses elegantly.
and is known for her taste in buying
jewels. Mrs. Platt, like the senator,
came from Oswego.
1t is claimed that Boss Platt has ac-
cumulated no great fortune. If he has
n he keeps it very quiet.

Two Bosses In ,

Thomas Collier Plat wae born on the
18th of July. 1888, at Oswego. He re-
celved an academic education in that city
and later went to Yale, but was unable
to continue his studies at the university
on account of ill-health. One of the first
responsible positions held by MIR. Plat
was the presidency of the Tioga National
bank, and later he was engaged in lum-
bering In Michigan. His political career
began when he was elected clerk of the
Tioga county court in 1859, an office
which he held for two years. When his
term of county clerk expired Mr.. Platt
was sent as representative from New
York to the Forty-third congress, and
became prominent in Washington OF ac-
count of his political proclivities.
Unlike most politicians, r. c. Platt
profits nothing in a money way from his
political influence. He works all day in
the offices Of the United States express
and at night goes holne to dinner like any
other laborer.
has lived in the Fifth Avenue hotel, and
for nearly hat number of years he has
occupied the same suite of rooms. He is
a creature of habit, and dfslikes to move
when once settled. Every evening he
stands in the same place in the lobby,
and every evening he goes up to his pri-
vatc parlors at the same hour.
T. c.. Platt has a very cultivated wife
and an interesting family. 1t is said
that the two boys, Frank and Harry, or
Romulus NJ Remus as the democratic
papers call them ARE now profiting from
the political bond business in which they
are engaged. But when it comes down
to the real matter, how many businesses
are there in which politics ann be
made to enter in one way or another?
The daily routine of Mr.. Platt's life is
vrey interesting. He has as nearly "a
