rich and handsome. The spaces be-

HIS BIRTHDAY.
The Prince celebrates his birthday
annually by a hunting party. The
head keeper at Sandringham is Mr..
Jackson, and he has achieved extraor-
binary success in the gigantic amount
of game he annually raises on the es-
tate.
1t must be remembered that there
are never more than ten people allowed
to shoot one time at Sandringham, and
the game bag shows among its distin-
guished parties that on the occasion Of
the coming of age of the Duke of Clar-
ence the bag for three days was within
$50 head of 5000 The party consisted
of the Prince of Wales, the Duke Of
Edinburgh, Prince Christian, the Duke
Of Cambridge, the late Duke of Clar-
ence, the Duke of York, Prince Edward
of Sake eimar, the Prince of Leinih-
gen, Count Gleiehen and the Marquis
of Lorne.
Situated not far from the house is
York Cottage, now the country resi-
dence of the Duke and Duchess Of
York. The stables are of red brick and
white stone facings, much the same in
build as those of Sandringham, but not
so large. The INSIDE fittings are of
most recent date and the stables and
coach house are warmed by hot water
The coach house is filed with carriages

that time were spoken o., and, q fact,
the estate afterwards purchased BY
Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, that has re-
Gently been sold to Lord Iveagh, was
very nearly bought for the Prince.
However, 1t was eventually settled that
Sandringham should become the prin-
vate property of the Prince Of Wales.
The price given for the estate, which
is about eight thousand acres in ex-
tent, was e22O.0OO; the date of the pur-
chase was the year 1861. The house on
the place was of considerable antiquity
and very inconvenient in every way; so
much 50 that after considerable sums
had been spent in the endeayor to patch
it up and make it comfortable, in 1870
it was decided to pull the old build
ings down and rebuild them entirely.
HIS HOME.
Driving from the station, Wolferton
by name, distant about two miles from
the front door, you mount gentle in
cline and find yourself very speedily

ALMOST "A KING FOR
FIFTY-EIGHT YEARS.
The Prince Of Wales Lives in Beautiful Home and Leads
Semi-pubIic Life While Patiently Waiting for the Throne.

The rumor that the Prince OF Wales
will become King on his next BIRTH
day has again arisen. The Queen, now
An her eighty-first year, is tired OF the
throne. She longs for the peaceful re-
tirement of Balmoral. the home de-
lights which are now dearer to her
stated mind than the joys of power.
The Prince will celebrate his birth
day November 8, on which occasion all
England will rejoice, for the popular
heir to the throne will be ffty-eight
years old. Born in 1S41, he has lived
his whole term of years full in the eyes
of the people of England; and as they
have seen him grow from bayhood to
manhood they have admired him more
and more. He is to-day the most pop
ular man in the British Kingdom.
The Prince married very fortunately.
In the year 1863 he went to Denmark
and brought back the beautiful Prin-
cess Alexandria, daughter of the King,
q Princess whose beauty was famed on
both continents. During her residence
in England the Princess has increased
the personal regard which she brought
with her.
Not only in his wife has the Prince
been fortunate, but in his children as
well, for the sons and daughters have
been well liked in England. The Duke
OF Clarence, heir to the throne, died
just as he came to manhood But
Prince George, Duke OF York, was just
as acceptable! And he was equally
fortunate in his daughters. AS the
three girls grew up they were very
English and two of them made matches
much approved by the people.
THE FAMILY.
In 1889 the Princess Louise married
commoner, the wealthy Duke of Fife.
And three years ago the pretty Prin-
cess Maude, the daughter who alone
of all the girls inherited her mothers
beauty, married Prince Karl Of Den
mark. Now the remaining Princess is
reported engaged to Prince George,
governor of Crete.
When the Duke of York married the
Princess May in 1893 the joy of the
British knew no bounds, for she was
an English girl, bred in England; and
they knew that the royal family would
have English feelings and English in
stincts.
Three children have been born to this
couple, and the throne is secure.
So. in all ways, the Prince of Wales
is blest. Popular, respected and intel

ligent, he has all the fundamental
qualities for good King.
The life of King is always inter-
esting. Doubly so one that is passing
his life in preparation for the throne.
For fifty years, since he completed his
education, Albert Edward has been
ready to seat himself on his mother S
throne and to walk in her footsteps.
Nearly all the Princes life is spent
at Sandringham, his county seat.
Shortly after the Prince of Wales
was married the question of a country

presented ON the occasion of the Dukes
marriage.
The stables are as complete as those
of so great a connoisseur should be.
On the right of the entrance is the
harness-room, which Is filled TO over
flowing with sets of harness for single,
double and four horses OF every de-
scription and size. Both the Prince and
Princess, however, are practically
fond of brown harness, and great deal
Of this color is to be seen In the stable.
On the opposite side is the saddle
room, which contains many mementoes
OF racing men OF the past and pictures
Of old-time trainers and jockeys, as
we'll as saddles and brides OF every
kind. In the stalls are the Princess
mare, Viva. and a chestnut pony,
Marley, both Of which she rides at
Sandringham. There is also the Prince
Of Wales shooting pony. Warwick. a
very strong and substantial animal.
The other stalls are mostly filled with
hacks, and the long stables ON either
side with carriage horses, both grays
and bays, as the Princess Is very fond
OF the former color. and invariably
uses a housekeeping pair OF grays in
her victoria, both at Sandringham and
in London.
This must conclude very made
quate description OF what there is to be
seen in one of the show palaces Of Eng
land as well as the private home OF
Engiand's future King.

wards presented to the Prince by the
county of Norfolk.
Passing through these gates, which
constitute the entrance to the park
proper, the road goes through we'll
wooded and extremely picturesque
piece of country. One moment you
might almost think you were in Scot
land, the heather is SO thick on either
side of the road. At another moment
you might be almost in the pine woods
of Norway At another turn of the
road and the velvet turf. the stately
oaks and elms of England change the
scene, while in every direction rabbits
hares and pheasants in numberless
quantities show that Sandringham has
few equals in England as a game pre-
serve.
Passing through the lodge, which is
short distance from the house. and
where the visitors book" is kept, you
drive through pleasant piece of land
scape gardening, and, making detour
round the ballroom, pull UP under the
portico, over which are the royal arms
of England in white stone.
Visitors to Sandringham are divided
into two sets. The first party comes
on Monday or Tuesday ard remains
there till Friday, ON which day another
PARTY arrives and remains there till
Monday. The last named party is gen
orally composed of clerical dignitary
who officiates in church on Sunday, two
or three eminent statesmen, with for
eigners of distinction, and some must
cal, literary or artistic people. The
ether party comprises in large meas
are the Prince of Wales personal
friends, and more particularly those
whom he has invited TO Sandringham
for the shooting, for it is in the shoot
ing season that Sandringham is most
largely used by its owners, their stay
| there, as rule, commencing in No
veraber and terminating in February.
The Prince and Princess never sit at
the ends of the table, but in the mid
die, and both have wonderfully happy
knack of putting everybody at ease.
! The conversation at dinner is by no
means as formal as would be supposed.
After dinner, when there are no en-
! tertainments of any kind in progress,
everybody adjourns to the drawing
room, and it very seldom happens that
move is not made to the billiard-room
or that either some singing or all
around game is not speedily in pro-
gress.
Breakfast is served at 9 o'clock in the
diningroom, but the Prince and Prin-
cess do not appear at this meal, taking
their breakfast in their private apart
ments After breakfast the guests can
write letters in the various halls or
ante-rooms, there being three postal
deliveries and three departures a day,
| and those who wish to send kilograms
can easily do so, as there is Geographic
communication all ever the kingdom.
A telephone connects the house with
Wolferton station. the Hackney Stud
Farm, the agents, bailiffs' and other
houses in the gardens, and stables, and
also with York House.
On Sunday morning everybody goes
to church. The Prince and Princess
are particular about this, and they and
the family are regular attendants. A
very quiet and pretty spot it is, fal
! away from the hum and turmoil of city
life. There are no imposing statutes o.

monuments to be seen; all is quiet and
simple. In various parts are tomb
stones placed by the Prince in MEM
DRY of servants of the household, and
also several stones which recall the
names of the former owners of Sand
bingham.
THE PRINCES BALLROOM.
AS rule three balls are given at
Sandringham every year. The first is
the county ball, to which all the local
magnates are invited; the second is the
tenants ball, at which all the farmers
appear, and the other is the servants
ball. At all three the Prince and Prin-
cess and their family, as we'll as the
guests in the house, do their best to
make everybody at home and comfort
able, showing the true spirit of hos
pitality
The ball room is situated on the left
hand side looking towards the en-
trance hail. There is another doorway
opening on to the front, which connects
also with all the halls and passages,
and also with the ball room, which is
used when dinner dances and private
theatricals are in progress, for large
number of private amateur Theatrical
entertainments as well as concerts are
given during the winter
The north hall contains more tro-
phies collected in India A magnificent
tiger mounted by Roland Ward is es-
pecially noticeable, while some magni-
fcent stays heads are to be seen on
the walls. Here, as elsewhere all over
the house, is a profusion Of palms, and
during the stay Of the Prince AMI
Princess the huge conservatories are
ransacked to such an extent that the
house resembles a a,wer garden.
The north hall is devoted to Indian
trophies. The library, which is also the
Princes room, is very complete, while
the drawing rooms are superb.
Here, as everywhere, are masses OF
palms and flowers in profusion, while
large numbers of photographs of royal
personages and personal friends of the
Prince and Princess take away from
the usual English solemnity OF the
drawing room and make it a wonder
fully coy apartment. The furniture is
covered with pale blue satin damask
and the curtains and hangings are of
/ velvet. The floor is of polished oak and
! is covered with rich colored India rugs.
A large conservatory opens out from
these rooms.
| Close by is the Princess of Wales
private sitting room, and not far from
it is the Prince of Wales private writ
1 ing room and the equerry's room. The
/ Princes room is very plainly furnished.
| The reading and answering of the lat
tiers which arrive keep his secretaries
very busy. / would say here that
! there is a regular postofice inside the
house, where money orders can be OBJ
tanned, kilograms and cables sent, pre-
cisely as if in public postofice. OF
course, it is only for the use OF the
household.
Punctuality at Sandringham is an alb
solute necessity, as by the Princes or
ders all the clocks are half an hour
fast, and the heinous crime of being
late for dinner and keeping royalty
waiting is an impossibility If attention
be paid.

Now the rumor comes that President
Mckinley is to give the Cubans self gov
ernment and independence at once.
This to us sounds ridiculous in the light
of the history of the last two months.
That self government will be given them
as rapidly as possible there is no doubt,
but to give them independence now
would be the same as sending sucking
calf out to pasture on grass without its
mother and expect it to grow into big
beef animal forthwith.

thought. For we must think of them.
Whether we will or will not, the trusts in
hundreds of forms are with us, new ones
are forming every day, and they are here
to stay. 1t is an evolution in the world
of commerce. They are largely the pro-
duct Of electricity and steam; quick tran
sit of thought and Of modern machinery.
But many OF these gigantic trusts are
born in evil, and live in corruption. We
cannot prevent trusts, we ought not to
prevent, but we must as people, as a
government, control them. Hence every
intelligent citizen should be thinking of
this matter. The people must be supreme

OWL SERVICE EXCEPTIONS.
President Mckinley has by order re-
voked some parts of President Cleve-
lands civil service order, by which re-
vocation about 200 government officials
are taken out of the civil service list. A
great many of these officials thus taken
out of the list are in the nature of conf
dental clerks to superiors who have
never been in the list, and begin with two
confidential clerks to the president him
SELF This part, no person, no matter
how strong an advocate of civil service
he might be, can object to. A confden-
tial clerk should be the personal ap-
pointee of his superior and hold his term
of office subject to that superior's wishes.
The deputy collectors at supports and
cashiers of customs are now outside of
civil service and consequently may be
discharged and new appointments made
at any time at the pleasure of the appoint
ing powers, while inspectors and similar
customs officers remain quite certain of
their places for life or good behavior.
The president will be greatly criticised
for this action by many who under the
cloak of professed civil service reform
desire to see the Offices filled by the
present Cleveland appointees. We
wonder how it would please them for
Mckinley to fill all these present except.
ed positions with republicans and then in
case democratic president should be
elected. then issue another order driving
a civil service ten-penny nail through the
coat tail of each of his republican officials,
solid into the seat of the chair occupied
by such officials-as Mr.. Cleveland did.

CONTROL OF TRUSTS.

This is an age of combination, or
:ganization, and concentration. It is true
of all branches of commerce, trade
manufactures, and labor. Corporation
and cooperation are in most respect!
synonymous terms, so far as aims ane
results signify. Oil, sugar, railroad
boards of trade, stock exchanges, trade.
unions, department stores. farmers al
lance, society and mutual insurance
companies, are all trusts" in greater
or less degree.
The principal object of most trusts i:
by the accumulation of capital, and the
use of machinery, to minimize the cos
reproduction. By the large capital. the
raw material is bought or produced ir
large quantities direct from the producer
or from nature; by the use of machinery
human labor is made the most of, and
by the organization, from the president
down to the lowest employe, every work
man is made to do the best and most
possible.
One of the tendencies of this consolida.
ton of interests in particular lines is to
throw many men out of employment.
Not only workmen who are displaced by
machinery, but great army OF middle.
men, "so.called because they neither pro.
duce or manufacture, but buy from one
to sell to the other. Many other middle
men who formerly acted as travelling
and other statesmen for the manufactures
before consolidation are now looking for
work.
The latter evil however is temporary,
consolidation and machinery certainly
cheaper the cost of the product, but as
certainly the price of the product must
go down, because unless the trust, can
sell cheap, then competition will follow
which will compel cheaper rates. But
it is also a proven law Of trade that any
manufactured commodity Of common use,
is consumed in greater or less quantities
according to its price. The cheaper the
goods the more can be sold. Hence,
while machinery has always cheapened
the product and at first left workman,
without employment, yet the final result
has been SO much larger conslimption Of
the product, that in the end it has invari-
ably increased the oppo portunities Of the
laborer. Therefore we believe that any
scheme that by saving Of labor reduces
prices. will finally give the laborer better
chances for employment.
