THE SPORT OF KINGS.
They We're Too Much for the skippera
 Sentative of the Tradition.


 Sentative of the Tradition.
 Hunting used to be called the sport of kings, but not many of the m, ern crowned heads keep up the old t:adi- ton. The Czar Of Russia occasionally assists at battue, but the thing bores him and he goes only out of poiireness. The prince of Wales is a very good shot and is fond of saootiag, but his b1g-game days are over. The empsrox of Germany hunts and shoots god deal. but those who know him besk say he does not much care for the sport With him it is a matter of tradition the right thing for royal parsonage to do. The king of Portugal, who holds the record for fatness among all the royalties, is physically disabled from such violent exercise The king Of Sweden never touches gun. The sul- tan of Turl= " cannot bear to see one. says the New York Commercial Adver- tiser. le ling of the Belgians has shot only once in his whole life, and then in very unkingly fashion. He wanted to have the sensation of killing without the trouble of going in search of the game. So he sat i'll his arm chair and potted at lot of rabbits let lose from bag in front of him. When the smoke cleared away <nd his majesty called for his bag he had to be told that all that had been found was one tail and a certain small quantity of fluff He never went shooting again. Tn. king of Italy is the only real represen- tatiye of the old kingly tradition. Hs is 8 mighty hunter and frequently throws up all the routine work without 9 word of warning, and goes off with one ofIicer Col. Pazzmbolini, to spess5 several week. in pursuit of the game Uf all kinds with which the mountains abound. Formerly he established no means of communication with Rome Neither Queen Margherita nor any or iiis ministers ever knew where to find him for weeks at a lime He might nave lost his throne in a sudden up- ,heayal and known nothing of it til he descended to the plains. Of late. however, he has become wiser. Now carrier leaves Rome every second day during his expeditions, bringing re- ports of all that. happens.

GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing in It and No Danger
 of Being Drowned.

The water of the Great Salt lake, Utah, is clear and transparent, with g bottom of fine white sand and a mar gin of incrpsted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world. It's waters give sus. tenance to no living thing; there is not the smallest insect or worm to frighten the most timid bather, and the bathing is the most perfect sea 6athfng in the whole of North Ameri- ca or in Europe No human body can suk in it. One may actually walk the water. no matter how deep it is. Your body will persis.tently rise up, the shoulders above the surface or you may even sit down :n it. It's wonder ful buoyancy must be experienced to he rtalized. No knowledge of swim ni1g is necessary; one may enter the lake without the slightest fear; all you have to do is to lie down and float. But to swim in it, that is ane other thing! When your hands are put under the water to take stroke, gour feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not go down. It is impossible to keep more than one end of your body under water at time. You cannot swim, but if you are man you can float on your back, with your arms crossed under yo1r head, and smoke your pipa or eigar with as much ease as if in your own room. The water is so salt Lat it cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulation; small drop in the eye, too, gives much pain. But, in spite of all the dangers, batl- ing ill the Great Salt lake is refreshing snd invigorating, notwithstanding that the body must be rebathed in fresh water afterward to remove the im- mense quantity of salt which adherea to the skin. It is hard work to make any headway, even against the smallest waves. Nearly half a million people bathe in the Great Salt lake every year, they come from all over the world, and tourists are beginning to realize that Salt Lake City and the magnificent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty, and is des tuned to be leading watering place.

Tit for Tat

It Is characteristic that those who are severe on others that they cannot bear severity. Dean Swift, the sever est satirist of his day, was one day dining with company of gentlemen. one of whom he made the butt of his ridicule, with repeated sallies. At last the dean poured upon piece of duck some gravy intended to be eaten with B roasted goose. The unfortunate gen. tleman, seeing this. immediately said My good dean, you surprise me-you eat duck like a goose" The company roared, and dean was so confused and mortified that he flew into rags and left the table.

Where Smoking rsa Crime.

It Is curious to find that there is | country in the world in which it Is considered crime to smoke. Abys- sinia is the region, and the law forbid ding tobacco dates frop the year 1642. It was at first merely intended to pre- vent priests from smoking in the churches. but 1t was taken too literally and nowadays even foreigners have to smoke sub rosa as if they were stu kchoolboys.

Pretty Romance Grew Out of Visit
of Cuban Teachers to
Philadelphia.
SHE NURSED HIM AT MATANZAS.
Cruel Father Separated Them and
He Searched Vainly for the Fair
Senorita Until Chance Re
stored Her to Him.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Camden, n. j., Aug. 24.-Cupid must be
bent on thinning the ranks of the returning
Cuban teachers.
When Theodore Dilks Of this city was
walking idly through Chestnut street. Phil
adelphia to-day, he observed a crowd about
Independence Hall. Dilks crossed the street.
elbowed his way through the throng and
learned that the Cuban school teachers
were looking at the old Liberty Bell.
He had just turned to go away, when he
heard a girlish cry Of surprise and some
body caught his arm. He wheeled about
and could scarcely believe his eyes when
he found he was face to face with his
Cuban sweetheart. Senorita Vilera Mouchez.
who he had supposed was lost to him for
ever.
"Oh. Seror. how happy I am" she said,
as she looked up into his face. This odd
meeting gives the finishing touch TO a real
romance of the Cuban War.
Dilks was one of the first Of the yolun-
teers to go to Cuba at the outbreak of the
war. He Is venturesome young fellow,
tall and good looking.
He was quite delighted when sent out
with a scouting party near Matanzas.
Hours afterwards he was found wounded
by men in his own company. and was car,
plantation of Senior MoucheZ.
For weeks he lay there with other wound
ed soldiers. The pretty daughter of Mou-
chez volunteered to help in nursing the
blue-eyed Camden soldier. who suffered for
want of attention
One day, when Dilks had about recovered
and was nearly ready to join his regiment,
the senorita told the story of their love to
her father.
The old Cuban was furious. No daughter
of his should marry out of her race and
out of her country. Dilks went to the ia
ther and pleaded. but the senior was unre-
lentinS.
There were many changes after that.
Dilks returned to his home. The senorita,
her father having lost his fortune. became
school teacher. She was one Of the Cuban
teachers taken to Harvard for a short sum-
mer course. and was with the party in In
dependence Hall.
Dilks took the senorita to the home OF
his parents and pleaded with her to re,
! main in America. He told how he had
kept his promise to go back to Cuba after
the war. only to find the house on the
planta ton vacant, the lands idle and the
girl he loved gone

teachers leave for Cuba Tonight. it is ike

STUDYING GERMAN ARMY.
General Ludlow Has About Com
pIeted His Observations.

Berlin. Aug. 2-Generai William Ludlow
of the United States Army has nearly fin
ished his Investigations here. To-day he
informed the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press that he had investigated the
general staff, the Ministry of War, the war
academy. the infantry sharpshooting school,
a school for nonc0mmissioned officers. a
cadet school. and also number of barracks.
All the requests he had made thus far
have been cheerfully rendered by the Ger
man Government. General Won Gossler,
General Butte. and Count Won Goetzen nave
especially aided him. He witnessed exercises
in teaching firing to soldiers, so instructed
that they fire without special bidding. The
rapidity Of firing when near the enemy I'M
pressed him as extraordinary.
But what has most impressed MN, ne
says, is the thoroughness of detail with
which each officer is able to translate theory
into practice. He feels confident that many
Of the features OF the German general stan
may be adopted for similar organization
which he deems necessary in the United
States. Next Wednesday General Ludlow
will leave for Paris. from which point he
will go to London. His official report Will
be presented to the War Department be-
fore Congress meets.

PauI A. Groene's Mother and Sister
Thoroughly Surprised at
His Wedding.
HE PLANNED AN EL0PEMENT.
Obtained a Day Off and Took Eva
Fischer to Belleville, Where
Knot Was Tied-Employer
Saw Through Scheme.

cupid has been acting siyly this year
IN 81. Louis. and the tricky little god
seems TO have started a campaign against
tho ordinary manner of getting married.
The latest names to be added to the al
ready long list of the seasons elopeHents
are Paul A. Greene of No. 3S1SA North
Eleventh street and Miss Eva N. b.
Fischer of No. 1904 Newstead avenue.
The couple. though they had been sweet
hearts for four years. thought. both De-
cause they would like to surprise their
friends and because the bridegroom's par
ents were opposed to his marrying. a quiet
wedding would be best, so they slipped
away to Bellevills Thursday afternoon and
the knot was tied.
The surprise part Of their pro-
gramme was a complete success, for
neither the most intimate friends OF both
parties nor their parents knew ausht
about their action. The Fischers were ap-
prised of it the same evening that the pair
returned to st. Louis, but the mother Of
Greene was in complete ignorance of the
event until told the news last night by
Republic representative.
Greene Is a druggist in tho employ of
H c. Brenner, at Sixth street and WASH
ington avenue. He lived with his mother,
but recently his business has been keeping
him downtown late, and he has been
boarding ip the central section of the city.
Miss Fischer is the daughter Of Joseph w.
Fischer, a photographer at Ninth street
| and Franklin avenue.
| The couple met about 1 o'clock Thursday
| at the Brenner store. Greene had notified
+, , his employer that he wanted to have the
afternoon off, as he had some business to
transact. Mr.. Brenner granted the request,
| and when he saw that the young man was
| dressed in his very best and especially when
| he saw him depart with an attractive young
| lady on his arm. he suspected the nature
| of the business"
| Yesterday morning Greene returned to his
| accustomed post. MIR. Brenner's suspicion
|, had been spread about the store. and soon
! the young benedict was the subject Of num-
| berless inquisitive remarks. He broke down
| under the continued quizzing. and admitted
| that he had been married.
| A sister of the newly married man was
| seen at the Greene home last night Why.
| said she on being told Of the wedding
| we've heard nothing Of Paurs marriage.
| OF course, we knew he was coUrting Miss
| Fischer, but we did not expect him to mar
| ~; the truth is, We didn't want him to
| wed. No: there's no objection TO Miss
| Fischer. She's a very attractive young
lady; only mother and 1 did not want him
| to marry anybody. Still It's strange he
| hasn't told US now that It's happened. T
! took lunch with him to-day and ne didn't
| say a word about it,
| For the present the young couple will i've
| with the brides parents.

Ready-Print Supplement Is Filled
With A. NJ. Dockery's
Sedalia Speech
INDIGNATION is EXPRESSED.
Boonville Official Claims to Have
Special Orders From Washing
ton-The Action Declared
Arbitrary.

At least two Postmasters in the interior
of the State have held up publications
containing the speech delivered by A. NJ.
Dockery, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Missouri at the opening meeting
of the State campaign at Sedalia last Tues
day. They declare that the supplement in
which the speech is printed does not COM
ply with the postal laws and regulations.
The supplements containing the speech bear
the names of the papers, but not the date
of issue, and because of this omission the
Postmasters have taken the unusual step
of stopping the delivery of the supplements.
Their action is considered by Democrats an
arbitrary use OF technicality for partisan
purposes. No orders. 1t is said at the de-
partment. were sent to them from Wash
ington to prevent the papers containing the
speech from being distributed. though the
Boonvile Postmaster says that he is acting
on instructions from headquarters.
For the last three days newspapers have
contained the speech in supplement form.
AS the matter consists of about sixteen col
umns. printed in small type, most of the
publishers were forced 10 get 1t out in this
manner Fully 15e,0e1 copies of the various
newspapers publishing the speech have
reached their destinations without any pro-
test from Postmasters through whose Of
fees they passed. The Postmasters at
Clinton and BoOnvile, however. refused to
let the supplements go through their Of
fees.
Postmaster Baumhoff Of ST. Louis said
last night: IF it is true that papers with
Dockery's speech as a supplement have
been held by the Postmasters 1 know moth
ing of it. No order was received by me
from Washington to hold such matter
a special dispatch TO The Republic from
Boonviile, Mo, last night says:
six or eight publications are held here
by the Postmaster. who refuses to deliver
them unless frst-class postage is paid On
the same by the receivers. There are sew
eral hundred copies of various Democratic
papers from this county and adjoining
counties held here In the office. The Post
master says this is in compliance with Sec
ton 2SS of the post office regulations. about
which he has had special instructions. IT
is claimed by the post office authorities that
the supplement which contains the speech
OF A. NJ. Dockery, made at Sedalla ms
week. is not properly dated. although IL
has the proper heading. Much d1ssatistac-
tion is felt here Tonight in regard 10 'he
matter
A member of the Democratic State Com
mittee said last night that the action was
arbitrary. The matter has been called to the
attention of the Democratic State Commit
tee and decision asked as to whether
newspapers with the supplements shall be
| pc; mitted TO go through the mails at reg
| 1Iar rates.
