Kitchener Wanted to lsc an Actor.
When Lord Kitchener Joined the
Royal Engineers. now nearly thirty
years ago, he was a tall. slim, very
handsome young man. The former Sir.
dar did not at first take to the army,
but had serious thoughts of going on
the stage, and was one day, while In
London, introduced by comrade to
the late George Honey. Young Kitch-
ener consulted George on the subject
of his hlstrlonic ambition. Honey
looked critically Mt the officer and re-
marked:
II could get you IN engagement In
five minutes as q walking gentleman,
but. let me tell you, you'd be better or
rs n sapper In the engineers"
Then, very seriously. Honey gave the
other an insight into the seamy side Of
an actors life, and finished with the
advice, "stick to the army, Mr.. Kitch.
ener; It's better shop than the
boards" Had Kitchener cut the ser.
vice and Joined the profession" history
might have been differently written.

jewelers. Price and Departs.

Unlike the beauty of antiquity who
dissolved pearls and quaffed them
from her bejeweled cup, William K.
Vanderbilt takes his pearls raw and
pays for them on the spot.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was examining some
unmounted precious stones put before
him by a Dutch jewelers. agent at Paris,
who expected a large order, and placed
a pearl between his teeth to test it's
hardness. Mr.. Vanderbilt opened his
mouth too suddenly after the test, and
the pearl flew down his throat.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was the: first to re-
cover, and he revived the other by his
words: How much?" The price was
mentioned, and Mr.. Vanderbilt, with
one hand over the center of his waist
coat and the other engaged in count
ing bills, closed the incident as far as
the jeweler was concerned.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was seen later at the
Hotel Ritz, seemingly no worse off for
his suddenly acquired riches. He was
asked for further details, but declined
to give them.

AMERICANS MUST NOT FLIRT.
Commissioner Peck Obliged to Check
This Propensity in the Guards of
United States Section.

T. Commissioner Peck was obliged to
forbid American guards at the Paris
exposition flirting with the typewriters
and other fair employees. The Ameri-
can. guards are handsome and, wear
splendid uniforms. Heace-Ntky n2Ve

fair ones who were attached to thedif-
ferent American sections, and, being
college boys as well, have been simply
Irresistible.
T. The guards obeyed the orders of the
mmissioner too we'll and strayed into
the confines Of other nations. The re-
suit has been a prolonged remonstrance
from the men of these quarters at the
invasion Of their rights by the superior
Americans. 49,. .
It seems that the guards wandered
beyond the front tiers and lavished at
tentions among the French. German,
Russian and Swedish girls. The little
matter of their inability to speak
the various languages made the con-
quests more attractive. Such stories
of sweeping victories made by the
American guards reached the ears of
the commissioner general that he
would have torn his hair had he been

'sThis interna tional business must be
stopped" he told his young men. "You
must remain inside the territory of

CABLE ROUTE 10 ORIENT.


The Chinese situation makes peril

rect cable communication with the;
orient. II the United States really
hopes to extend its commerce III, the
TAR east, direct, easy and certain com
munication Is indispe pensable Atten-
ttion is being drawn to the proposed
Alaska line, a cable independent OF
that now being constructed to Hon
olulu. The shortest distance via
Alaska to q connection with the Jap
.anese telegraph system is 1858 nau-
tical miles; to the Siberian wires
s3,54O, and to China 5,49O. The Alaska
line has the advantage in distance, 40
well as in the cost of construction
and operating, over any other route
surveyed. It will also secure to the
government much needed communities
ton with that part of the American
possessions in the far northwest
which daily are becoming Of more
consequences.
.ern route from California to Japan
by way Of Cape Flattery is only half
as long as the southern route, says
the Denver Post. This proposed line,
as surveyed, bends slightly to- the
north Of the ideal short line in order
to pass through Sitka, the capital Of
Alaska. Four stations are made In
Alaska, at Sitka, on Kadiak Island,
at Dutch Harbor and on Attur, the
last of the Aleutian islands, which is
only $40 nautical miles from the Jap
anese Russian boundary, where the
cable is divided, one branch running
south $40 knots to ajunction with the
Japanese land wires; the other due
west GIT knots to a junction with the
Russian telegraph system. i In this
way connection would be effected with
the whole OF. Asia by two different
routes making complete interruption
practically impossible. The greatest
stretch of cable would be but s5s
knots, in lengths and this could be cut
in two by placing a station on the
Commander islands. Should congress
decide to construct cable to the
orient, and operate it, no better route
can be selected than the Alaskan.

y Mr.. Albert L. johnson, OF New York,
who has built electric railroads all over
the United States, said before leaving
London for America few days ago:
Il see no reason why electric railways
should not be as popular in London as
in New York and Chicago. It is evi-
dent that many of them must be under
ground but when I see blockades in
the streets an. hour after the theaters
have closed it seems a shame that these
crowds should not be relieved. - The
modern electric car can go anywhere
in London that a bus can. I will guar
antee that American constructors
could deliver these great crowds to
their distant homes by electric railway
hours before they are able to reach
them now. Patrons of the London
Central have discovered that omni-
buses which formerly were packed to
their capacity are running now, empty.

PRO-. Smith Finds Some Reasons
Why They Do Not Sell Readily.


Prof. John B. Smith, state entomol-s
ogist OF New J Jersey, has justreturneds
from abroad where he went to investi-
gate the restrictions against Ameri
/ can fruits. Prof Smith also investigat-s
Ted the methods Of handling insects in
European countries.
With regard to the fruits Prof. Smith.
IascertAined that it would be practical
/ ~ impossible for American fruits to-
be shipped into France except by treaty
management. French officials have an
idea that all American fruits are
tabooed. II the fruit is forced through
there IS 50 much red tape a about it that
the fruit spoils before it reaches the
hands Of the customer.
Efforts to exclude American fruits
fhaves been abandoned in Holland, the
professor found s but in Belgium very
few American fruits are received. Of
fcials in Germany, he said, seemed to
kbe fair-minded and disposed to treat
shipments more CONSIDERABLY. He.
found that at Ha IA burg, while there, a.
consignment of 80, 600 barrels Of apples
was received. s
Prof. Smith believes that If Amer
lican fruit. shippers will treat their Gus
toners fairly there Will be no trouble
about the sale Of American fruits in
foreign countries, Every thing is sold
at auction and never by surface show.
One barrel in every ten is emptied out
upon the floor and the sale is made
upon the condition Of the fruit thus
fdisplayed. The ma n who pats q lot OF
poor fruit at the bottom of the barrels
stands poor show > ,>,='s :: s
Foreign officials are particular about
the San Jose scale. If single scale is
found on one apple in barrel the en-
tire shipment would be excluded
Prof. Smith was agreeably surprised
to find that the American fruit exhibit
surpassed those Of other countries. He
also found that the French commits
sion merchants were greatly interested
in these fruits, and it is his opinion
that next year there will be notice
able increase in the demand for Jersey
fruits. -...-,
