being able to make a choice quite ac>

The most photographed man in the world
is the Prince of WAKES, says the Berlin
Tageblatt. Every new hat or necktie
he puts on has to be photographed, for
His Majesty takes great pride in setting
the fashions of the day, and is somewhat
vain of the distinction. Hence the photo
graphs.
Next to him, in widely distributed pic
lures comes the Princess of Wales. though
it must be admitted that hers are pur-
chased less for the modes they suggest
than for the love which all the English
bear Her Majesty. Those which sell The
best and are most in demand show the
Princess in full court dress and wearing
her costly diadem brilliant with diamonds.
Twenty thousand of these are sold yearly.
The Pope is very peculiar about having
his picture taken. He had some photo
graphs struck off some fifteen years ago
which he favors. In most cases he refuses
10 have others taken. Ee gives as his
reasons that his friends who took the pic
lures have been true to him and he wishes
to be true to them. Although hundreds of
thousands of these 15-year-old pictures
have been distributed TO loyal Catholics
throughout the world, every year about
IS 600 of them are sold al a considerable
profit to the Pope's friends.
Emperor William of Germany enjoys
having ms photographs taken. Like MS
uncle, the Prince of Wales, there is a fas-
cination about seeing his likeness in pub
lie, which may possibly be explained by
saying that it runs in the blood. There is
a yearly demand for 5000 of his like
nesSes.
Emperor Franz Josef has an idea that
ne can pose himself better than any one
else can. Hence he always choose his
own attitude. once the photographer
stopped down to press a crease into his
majesty's trousers. ooh. never mind" re
piled the Emperor. ''it would be far bet
ter if you could iron the wrinkles out Of
my cheeks" On another occasion the pho
tographer said: THAT is a most majestic
attitude. Just mold yourself in that posi-
ton for moment until l can arrange my
camera" Waltz exclaimed the Emperor.
Il must draw off my glove. The ungloved
hand is an indica ton of ones character.

otherwise the picture would he spoiled.
At this he withdrew the g.Ove from his
right hand. quickly and easily assuming
his original altitude
The Sultan is very diffident about having
his picture taken. When it is over he acts
as if ne had been through a very trying
ordeal and takes in long breaths, as if the
strain had been intense. The last time his
picture was taken was when the Emperor
visited the East on his trip to the Holy
Land.

An InvincibIe Combination.

I recently saw a paragraph in relation
to Patrick Calhoun of Cleveland, grand
son of John c. Calhoun of South Carolina
and it recalled one of the witty remarks of
the late Fred Taylor of this city, the we'll
known banker and orator, says a writer
In the New York Mail and Express
Some years ago. among the guests at a
great public dinner at Chattanooga, Tenn.
we're Taylor and Calhoun. In the course
OF the eloquent speech which he made at
this feast, Taylor playfully suggested Cal
houn as a presidential candidate.
You Democrats" said he. II know are
all at sea as TO the best name with which
to head your ticket in the next national
campaign. Wen, 1t may not be a wise
thing for me TO do. but I can suggest to
you a name the combination of which is
as sure to win in politics as the famous
combination 4--11-44 Is always sure to win
at the darkey's game of policy That
name Is Pat Calhoun! And why? Be
cause no man whose eyes were first open-
ed to the light south of Mason and Dix
on's line would ever think of voting
against the name of Calhoun That end
of the name, therefore. would carry the
South solid. while the other end OF IL
would corral the supporters Of the ruling
element of the North, because, begorra.
divil son Of the Ould Sod is there among
us that would dare to cast a vote against
a man by the name of Patrick"
It is needless to add that this neat sally
met with an uproarious reception.

In a little while it will be known whether
Tammany intends to stand by Nir Bryan
in the coming political campaign or not
He is to visit New York on Jan. %, and
the Tammany leaders are debating as to
whether they shall ignore his presence in
the city, as they have done heretofore, or
give him a reception at the Democratic
club and invite him to make a speech I'M
der Tammany auspices. 1t Will be re-
called that year ago he refused an in
vitation to attend the so dinner that
Tammany gave in honor of the birthday
of Thomas Jefferson but accepted invita-
tons to Jeffersonian dinners given by two
other organizations in New York. At
that time it looked as if the breach be
tween Tammany and Mr.. Bryan would
never be bridged
Since that time, however, Mr.. Croker
has Acknowledged that Mr.. Bryan is the
leader of the party, and has practically
pledged him Tammanys support in the
Democratic National Convention. The
Democratic state organization of New
York has done the same thing. Il would
seem, therefore, as if there ought to be
no doubt in the minds of the Tammany
leaders as to the treatment that should
be accorded to Mr.. Bryan by Tammauy
on the occasion of his visit this month
even if Mr. Croker is not present to i'd
wise them They should let il be under
stood that Tammany intends to stand by
its pledge.
In fact, II is difficult to see how Tam
many can do otherwise than let Mr. Bryan
know that it intends to support him for
the presidential nomination aud in. the
campaign which will follow. If it should
indicate a purpose 20 ignore him there
viii be a contesting delegation from New
York to the Democratic National Conven-
ton. In that event Tammany would
probably be ruled out of the national con-
vention, because the Organizes would have
control of the convention, and would
doubtless admit friends of Mr.. Bryan
rather than enemies.
1t is safe to say, that when Mr.. Bryan
appears in New York the latter part of
this month, Tammany viii not neglect
him. The Tammany leaders have found
that Mr.. Bryan is altogether too big man
to be ignored successfully.

THE KENTUCKY CONTEST.

1t looks very much as if there will be Sc
rlous trouble in Kentucky before it is fin
ally decided whether Goebel or Taylor Is to
be Governor of that state. The indications
now are that the Legislature will decide
the contest which has been begun for
the -governorship, in favor of Goebel The
Democrats have majority in both the
Senate and the House 1t is not known
yet that a majority is in favor of
Goebel. The presumption is, how
ever, that there is a majority in his
favor. He doubtless made very
thorough canvass of the members before
he began his contest, and had assurances
that he would be successful; otherwise
he would not have begun the contest
Dispatches from Lexington say that
Taylor is determined not to give up the
office. even if the Legislature decides in
favor of Goebel His Republican friends
are ready to support him, it is said, with
force There will be thousands of them
in the state capitol during the progress
of the contest, and they will all be armed.
! The most of them viii come from noun
tain counties, which are siTohely fysi> ei:i,a
lican.
The purpose of the Republicans appears
| to be to get the contest into the United
States Court. They hope to do this by
bringing on a conflict between the oppos-
ing parties. Unless men of judgment and
GOODNESS undertake the direction of af-
| fairs there will. in all probability, be a
conflict in which there will be much loss
| of life.
The attitude which the Republicans have
assumed and the outcry about fraud which
they are making are well calculated to
create the impression that they do not re-
! gard their case as a particularly strong
one If they felt that their cause was
ent rely right they would do a great deal
less talking and devote more OF their time
to making out a case showing that Tay-
lor is the rightful Governor.
Republican threats viii not prevent Goe-
bel from continuing the contest. His am
bition knows nc bounds. and he is insen-
sible to fear. If the Legislature VIII de-
clare he was elected Governor he viii

NOT OVERLOOKED,

The recommendations of the President
and tie Secretary of War that Porto Rico
become part of the United States and
have territorial form of government, do
not appear to have been received by the
natives of the island with expressions Of
joy From all accounts they do not con-
slider the recommendations particularly
beneficial to their interest They would.
of course, like TO have free access to our
markets, but if our tariff laws are ex-
tended over their island the privilege they
now have of trading with European coun-
tries will be cut off practically, because if
Germany France and Spain cannot send
their manufactured products to Porto
Rico on the same terms that the manu-
featured products of this country are sent
there, they will cease to trade with the
Porto Ricans Why the Porto Ricans par
ticularly want to trade with those coun-
tries is that they pay more for the best
grade of Porto Rlcan coffee than is
paid for it in this country-at least that
is the claim made by Porto Rican mer-
chants The main crop of the island is
coffee. and il the Porto Ricans are de
prived of sending it to the market that
pays them best, it will not be long before
they win wish they had not been severed
from Spain. Free trade with the island
would be of special benefit to the sugar
trust. 1t is not improbable that that trust
has been active in creating a public senti-
ment in favor of admitting to our mar
kets. free of duty. Porto Rican products.
That trust is always on the lookout for
its own interest.
1t is somewhat remarkable that delega-
tons of Porto Ricans have not made
their appearance at Washington demand
ing this or that thing. If there has been
any such delegation there, or if any such
a one is expected there, the fact has been
kept very quiet. 1t is probable that as
yet the Porto Ricans do not see that they
have gained anything in particular, or
that they are to gain anything, by the
change of their allegiance from Spain to
the United States. Probably they will APP
rreciate the change when their interests
become adjusted TO their new relations
