Sailing from England on Oct. Il the

in the morning. unObserved except by
q few officials.
In consequence of Il very boisterous
passage the prince and his suite. in
common with a majority Of the other
passengers. were kept in their cabins
for two days. IL was not until three
days out that the prince appeared in
public by attending ii concert given in
aid of the Liverpool Seamens orphan
age. He allowed his dancing girl. Miss
Bahar BuX. and a couple of musicians
to contribute an Indian song and dance
to the programme.
In the absence of Captain Carey. who
could not leave the bridge the chair
was taken by C II. Keefer of Ottawa,
who said he felt sure he echoed the
sentiment of all present in thanking
his highness for honoring them with
his presence. The prince. he added.
was loyal British subject. and as
such he would receive every welcome
and hospitality both from his brother
subjects i'm Canada and from their
friends ard neghbOrs in the states.
The prince was evidently pleased and
emphasized lis appreciation by a po-
lite bow and pleasant smile.
In the course of the rendering OF the
various items on the programme the
prince evinced great interest and
clapped his hands enthusiastically at
the end of each piece. At the end OF
the last Indian song and dance" his

One of the cleverest receptions prac
ticed in recent years is the world tour
of a cook for one of the native digni-
taries of India, who has been posing as
Prince Ranjit. He deceived even the
elect of London and the European con-
tinent and it was not until he arrived
on this side of the Atlantic that his
identity was discovered and his de-
ceptiOn exposed. But as far as his
wealth was concerned there was no de-
ceptiOn. He has plenty of money and
spends it with lavish hand wherever
he goes.
The arriva' of the putative prince in
London was unannOunced and for this
reason his pletensiOns awakened sus-
piciOn. But although he had retinue
of a score OF attendants and personal
baggage sufficient for a regiment OF
ordinary mOrtals, society looked as
kance. 1t was not regarded as possible
that SO distinguished parsonage
should leave his native land and travel
half way around the globe without
sending in advance some intelligence
of his coming At first his claims to
noble birth were looked upon with
suspicion and his display OF wealth
was spoken OF as the assuming of an
adyenturer. But there was enough in
his presence at the English capital TO
set the tongues Of the gOSsips going
and it was not long ere inquiries re-
vealed the fact that not only were his
claims genuine. but that one-half had
not been told. He was a man of far

LEGAL OATHS BY WOMEN.
An Opinion as 10 What They Are Ready

An Opinion as 10 What They Are Ready
to swear To.
There's this difference between a
woman and a man: When a woman
thinks or believes a thing 10 be so she
is ready 10 swear to it. while a man
doesn't swear to a thing unless he
sees it and knows it to be true" Thus
did Magistrate Mott draw the dividing
line Of the sexes in the West Side
Court. Miss Marie EllerbroOk of No.
800 East Eighty-seventh street, a
school teacher, had asked him for a
warrant for a bad boy who had struck
one OF her pupils on the head with a
stone. She admitted that she hadn't
seen the boy throw the stone, but was
so sure be had done SO that she was
ready to swear TO it. because people
had told her" But you didn't see it."
exclaimed Mr. Mott. You don't know
that this boy did it." "On, but I'm
sure of IT," she said Then he gave his
opinion concerning woman's alacrity
to swear, and advised the school teach
er to bring her pupil 10 court and
have him swear out the warrant. Miss
Ellerbrook left the court room with a
look on her face that said plainly
that she didn't agree with Mr.. Mott as
to women'S credibility.-New York

A THOUSAND-DOllAR BILL.
1t Figures in story Concerning an

\ story in which a thousand dollar

citizen OF Indianapolis This man was
acting as trustee during the panic of
1893 and had the trust fund on deposit
in the indianapolis National bank. A
day or two before the bank closed its
doors the man received 4 warning that
the institution was doomed. He ac-
cordingly FASTENED over to the bank
and drew out the money which he held
in trust for another. When he receiv-
ed the money. which was in bills. he
rolled it up and placed it in his coat
pocket. where he carried it for several
days. One day Harry c. Adams came
into his place of business and said:
Have you such thing as a hundred
dollar bill about you? | need one right

pulled out the roll of bills. and taking
off the top bill handed it to Mr.

bill called for $1,000, you surely don't

The most remarkable of all carnivor-

no chance to escape immediate death.
The leaves OF this vegetable curiosity,
