and Smell by Messrs. Turner and Mitchell.
The counsel for the prisoners. as matter
of course. made no objection to the method
OF procedure. In the case OF Smell the
order postponing the day OF execution was
made by Justice Clabaugh, and in the case
Of Funk by Justice Cole.
There was a striking contrast in the APP
pearance of the two prisoners when they
were brought into court. Smell seemed
haggard and hopeless, and, as during the days
OF his trial, did not appear TO take any
notice of what was taking place about
him. He seemed heart broken and friend
less. Even his attire seemed neglected
the trousers he wore being torn at the
knee and the kerchief which he wore about
his head was much soiled.
Soon after his arrival at the City Hall
SHELLS attorney. Charles II. Turner. called
TO see him in his cell in the basement of
the building. When MIR. Turner approached
him and said Good morning. Mr.. Smell,
ii is stated that the latter replied, Who
are you? ! don't know you. / never saw
you before
When Justice Clabaugh signed the or
der respiting Smell until June 10 Mr.. Tur-
ner asked that an additional order be
made by the court permitting DR.. Richard
son, Superintendent of st. Elizabeth's Asy-
lum for the Insane. to examine Smell with
a view to passing upon his mental condi-
ton. The Assistant District Attorney in
formed Mr.. Turner that he could obtain
the permission he desired from the ONCE
Of the District Attorney.
Fnnk's appearance and demeanor in the
court were in striking contrast with that
of Smell. He appeared bright and hopeful,
and stated just before the order postpon-
ing the day OF execution was signed, that
he did not have the slightest doubt that
a new trial would be granted him He
referred to his confinement pending final
action on his appeal as merely tempo

W. J. Lambert has written to the Dis

domination proceedings in the opening of
Eleventh Street northwest, in which the
Court of Appeals recently handed down a
decision holding that the law under
which the proceedings wer, instituted was
unconstitutional. Referring to the gener-

suits and so injurious 20 property inter

Since then, he AYERS, Congress has been

States and India, to say nothing of almost
 innumerable trips to the several capitals
 of Europe.
 In 1880 he crossed the Atlantic on his first and only viist to the new world, and after A stay in Canada visited the United States, being everywhere received with enthusi- asm. Two years later he began his Flu ropean travels, visiting Germany, Italy,
 Egypt Syria and Jerusalem.
 The Prince of Wales was married on March 10. 1S63 to Princess Alexandra, -eld- est daughter of the King of Denmark.
 In the years following his marriage the Prince continued his foreign travels, visit ing Denmark, Sweden, Russia, again, in
 Egypt then in Greece and in Turkey.
 Toward the close of 1871 the prince was
 attacked by typhoid fever and for many
 weeks his life was despaired of, and his recovery was celebrated by memorable
 service at St. Paul's. .7-g SIT In 1875 parliament voted him $500,000 for a
 visit to India He made a royal progress,
 calling at all the important centers of the
 empire. being absent from England seven months. 1n1 The Prince of Wales has for many years been prominent in Masonic circles. VI He was elected grand master of England in 1874 and in 1875 was installed ass first prin- cipal of the Royal Arch degree siet It is needless to say that the prince has almost every order of knighthood in ex- istence. The prince has always taken keen in- terest in those sports and pastimes which are peculiarly British. He has been member of the Jockey club for nearly thir- ty years. Of late years he has had the satisfaction of seeing his colors pass the winning post in many turf contests but his greatest triumph the victory of Persimmon in the derby of 1S9S, the
 fourth time in the history of England that
 a derby cup had been won by a royal
 owner. s
 The prince has also been extremely fortu- nate as a yachtsman. He won the queens
 cup in 1877 with the Hilgarde, in 1880 with
 the Formosa and in 1895 and 1897 with the Britannia. He is also the owner of many yachting trophies in foreign waters, The prince, when at home, lives at Sand ringham, but his time is so fully occupied in public functions that he has little leis- ure.
 In July. ten years ago, while on a visit to Baron Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor, the prince met with an accident which nearly crippled him for life, the fracture of a kneecap, defying surgical skill for many months. -st
