ter's melancholy experience purchased
under like circumstances. From all ac-
counts Prince Cantacuzene is above the
average young nobleman In good de-
serts and bids fair to redeem the PROM
ises of felicity which he holds out to
his bride. He comes of one of the old
est families OF Russia, possesses fine
educational advantages as we'll as I'M
usual personal attractions; holds high
rank in the military systems OF the en-
pire. and otherwise commands general
respect. He IS % years OF age, which
makes him one year the senior Of Miss
Grant. Last year he spent much OF his
time in this country, presumably en-
gagged upon some military commission,
but actually engaged in counting Miss
Grant. RumOr states that the affair
was consummated in Paris several
months ago. From present indications
the marriage will be one OF the most
brilliant international social events
which this country has ever known.

STORIES OF THE DIAMOND.

Pleasant Place to Go Fishing and He
Went.
There was pitcher who once prom
ised to be one Of the best in the busi-
ness who dropped out of fast company
In a strange way, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. He was Darby, and
when he disappeared he was pitching
for Detroit. One morning the team
was making a trip across Michigan.
The day was hot and the cars dirty,
and when, near midday, the train stop
ped at a pretty little town, Darby look
ed out at cool creek flowing down
into the woods and remarked:
That would be great place to fish
on day like this
One of the other players said: why
don't you get off and go fishing?"
Believe / WILL" replied Darby, as
he sauntered out on the platform OF
the car. No one thought any more Of
the matter until the train was miles
down the country. Then some one
remarked that Darby was missing. He
never rejoined the club, but turned up
at home in the fall and has never been
back in fast company since.
THE funniest decision ever saw on

Louisvilles, was given down in a lit
tie country town in Indiana while I
was playing with the Chicago club. We
had an off day, and Billy Moran and
went down as battery to some town
that had grudge against a neighbor-
ing village. / went In to pitch and We
had the other club beaten to death.
Along in the seventh inning the
bases were full with two out and the
batter hit little grounder down to
me. picked the ball up and tossed it
underhand to first, twenty feet ahead
of the runner, and started to the bench
when the umpire called me back and
said: Not out I demanded to know
why the man was not out and he re-
piled:

ball to first and you pitched it under

never disputed that mans decisions
again."
James Ryan Is an observing fellow.
His latest discovery was made last fall.
Jimmy was out walking in Washington
and returned to the hotel out OF breath
and dragged half a dozen players down
to the capitol lawn to see a game OF
ball. Far over on the south side Of
the east esplanade is statue of Chris
TOPPER Columbus. The discoverer is
represented standing on pedestal
with one foot advanced. his right arm
swung high above his head and In his
right hand a globe. Jimmy dragged
the ball players over to the statue and
then, pointing across the lawn, showed
the statute of George Washington. The
father OF his country stands facing
the discoverer with hands outstretch-
ed. Ryan pointed out that Columbus
is posing to pitch the ball and Wash
ington is in exact position to catch 1t.

NEWS AND COMMENT.

The attention of Senator Morgan and
other Nicaraguan canal enthusiasts rs
called by w. L. Curtis to a canal in
Egypt which for a period of more than
1000 years has never ceased to fulfill its
purpose. 1t was built by the govern
ment under the direction of Joseph. the
brother of Benjamin, who was the son
OF Rachel and Jacob, who was the son
of Isaac, who was the son of Abraham,
who was the chosen of the Lord. 1t is
known as the Bahr Joussuf, and not only
waters the entire province of Fayoum,
CndownS 1t with fertility and supporting
large population all these centuries, but
has been an important aid to commerce.
1t leaves the Nile at Aisut and runs al
most parallel with it for 250 miles until II
gains an eminence as compared with tho
river bed which enables it TO turn west
ward through a narrow pass seventeen
feet above the mean level of the river
and a district which is otherwise shut
off from the fertlizing foods upon which
all Egypt depends. Ancient writer's, such
as Herodotus, Strabo and Pliny, as well
as the monkish legends, declare that the
construction of this canal not only fur
nishcd a channel of navigation and irri-
cation TO an entire province, but moder-
ated the climate so as to make 1t habit
able for human beings.
