AMERICANS up TO DATE. /"
Count Otto Won MoItke "EIectrihed"
over What He Saw In This Country.

NEW YORK, oct. 3i.-Among the pas
sengers who sailed this morning on the
Deutschland for Hamburg was Count Otto
Won Moltke. a nephew OF the great Ger
man field marshal. Count Won Moltke.
Count Won Moltke has been I'm this country
since oct. 4. having been appointed a COM
missioner by the Prussian Parliament. OF
which he is a member 20 study American
transportation methods In an interview
yesterday he said
1T is a matter OF disappointment that I
am obliged. on account of lung trouble 10

the Pan-Amerlcan Exposition and Chica-
go, the latter place 10 make hurried study
Of the stOckyards. 1 also gained much In
formation at the American railway eNhibi-
ton at Madison-square Garden. / am cleo
trihed with the progress you Americans
have made in the methods OF transpOrta-
ton. IL Is impossible for any one In Eu-
rope TO understand this without seeing IL
The best expression 1 have heard here Is
up 10 date, which tells the whole story.
You have shown the most progress In
adapting electricity a means OF trans
pOrtation. The German Siemenses are tho
fathers OF electrical Improvements and the
Germans conceive many methods, but they
can't take hold OF things the way the
Americans do. Conservative methods keep
the Germans from launching out extensive
~ ia any scheme. Europeans are theoreti-
cal and Americans are practical. The Euro
peans formulate and you put into practice"

CALIFORNIA LION ROUND UP
An Attempt to XIII on the Big Cats

An Attempt to XIII on the Big Cats
That Worry Arizona sheepmen.
John McCarty, territorial game war
den, has begun a big round up OF Cali
fornia lions in the San Francisco noun
tains, about $50 miles north of Flag
staff, says n Phenix "a. IT, dispatch
TO the New York Sun. In that country
the big cats are found in larger num-
bers than in any other locality in Ari-
IONA, and the party expects to bag
several hundred of them.
At one time the California lion was
found in all parts of Arizona. but large
territorial and county bounties have
caused its determination In many dis
tricts. At $50 a head hunting the
beasts was a profitable business, and
some hunters in times past have killed
n score of lions in a week. 4 total
of more than 100000 has been paid in
Arizona for scalps in the past ten
years. Hundreds of lions beside have
been shot by cattle, horse and sheep
men who have not asked for the boun-
ties, taking as their reward the fact
that they have disposed of the cause of
the slaughter OF their calves, colts and
lambs.
While the lions have grown less COM
mon in the southern part of the terri
tory, there has been no decrease in
their numbers in the wilder northern
regions. Sheepmen in the San Fran
cisco mountains have complained of
| late that the lions were killing of all
their lambs. Warden McCarty has
taken the matter in hand, and with five
experienced Ilou hunters and twoscore
trained lion dogs he expects to rid the
country of the pests. He will organize
with the cowboys and sheepholders n
large party which will scour the dis
trict where the lions are most COM
mon. The animals will be driven into
the center of n circle where they can
be killed.
The California lion is n small species
of the panther family. 1t is about the
size of Canadian lynx and possesses
a similar nature. 1t is cowardly and
has never been known to attack n man
! unless cornered, but is capable of n
fierce fight when driven to bay. Nc
Carly is a collector of specimens for
Yale, Harvard. Cornell and other uni
/ versities and expects TO send them
trophies OF the big hunt.

"PRINcE AUTOS" SERMONS
Young Man Takes TendcrloIn Hab-
Itues In His Auto to Lecture Them.

Itues In His Auto to Lecture Them.
Shortly before IL O'Clock on every
! fine night there suddenly drops into the
Standardization just where no one
seems to know-a handsome victoria
automobile and. after circling around q
| bit, comes To stand in front of the Hay
J market, says the New York World.
The machine is an elaborate affair.
| easily distinguishable from others of
its kind by powerful searchlight in
| the center of the dashboard operated
by Il storage battery under the seat.
Suspended between the rear wheels is
a red lantern.
The victoria is operated by fashion
ably dressed young man, who is said
to be the son of Il wealthy western
clergyman. He has been sent east to
perfect his education, but he spends
more time with the blond haired wom-
en- of the TenderlOin than he does with
his books.
The machine hardly comes to a stop
before the word is passed through the
dance hall that prince Auto" has ar
rived, and the women flock about beg
cling for a ride. Picking out n woman,
the prince will escort her to the VIC
toria, and of they will go for a half
hour in the park, in Chinatown or on
Fifth avenue. At the end of 80 min
utes the victoria will slide noiselessly
up to the Haymarket, and, handing the
woman out, the prince" will dash in
for another companion. This per-
Torrance will be repeated until the
dance hall is closed at $3.50 a. III.
The real name of prince Auto" is
Wilson Kayne. Little more is known
about him. The same girl is never
taken twice. and the auto never stops
during the ride. AS she alights each
girl is presented with n box of expen-
siye confectionery, which usually con-
tains a slip bearing a Bible verse.
The prince is jolly and entertain
ing and refined in manner. He always
urges the women to lead better lives.
He declares that he was never made
for a bool1worm and that he would
much rather study human nature than
chemistry

NEW GAME IN LONDON.
"Vint" Threatens to DIspInce Bridge
Whist I'm Society.

The supremacy of bridge whist is
threatened by the advent of a new card
game called "yint," says the London
correspondent of the New York World.
1t abounds in penalties and complied
tons and gives even greater facilities
than does bridge for indulging the
gambling instinct. The highest pos
sible score is "Pierpont Morgan" which
means 1000 points trick.
Pingponc. or table tennis, at one time
threatened to exercise the bridge de-
mon. but its popularity with the kind
of people who gamble was short lived.
and it has now taken its place as n
passion of the middle class.

You all do know this hidei /
well recall
The first time Croker put it on.
Look, in this place did Van
Wyck's ice toDgs pierce;
See what a rent the lusty Je-
rome made;
Through this the well.beloved
SDeehan stabb d.
This was the most unkindest cut
OF all;
For when the silent Croker saw
him stab
He straightway closed the
Vantage Moat House deed
And gave his Gotham mortgage
to the flames.
Oh, what a fall was there, my
eounirymeDl
Then and y0us and all or US,
fell down,
Aud, with uplifted faces, thank

That had pleased 10 rid rs OF
this man
Whose only shrine was pelf,
whose pocket held
The only conscience that he
ever knew.
Henceforth 10 Berks his specter
will retire.
While we do purge us Of his
lingering mire.

A man was fined $50 for steal
