EARL'S "LOAN" TO A FOOTPAD.
British NobIeman's Forced COntribu.
tion Started Robber on the Way
to Prosperity.

Although so years old, the duchess
of Cleveland is constant traveller and
is noted for her conversational pow
ers, which age has not impaired. She
can tell a story as well as her son, Lord
Rosebery. One of her favorite stories
is about her father, Earl Stanhope.
One night when the earl was walking
alone in the Kentish lanes a man
jumped out of the hedge, leveled pis-
toll, and demanded his purse.
"My good man, have no money with
me-" said Lord Stanhope in his remark
ably slow tones. The robber laid hands
on his watch.
"No," Lord Stanhope went on, shat
watch you must not have; it was given
to me by one love; it is worth 100.
If you will trust me | will go back to
Chevening and bring f10o note and
| place it in the hollow of that tree.
cannot lose my watch"
The man did trust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lore
Stanhope was at a city dinner, ant
| next to him sat a London alderman O.
great wealth, man widely respected
He and the earl talked of many thing:
and found each other mutually enter
tanning. Next day Lord Stanhope re
ceived a letter, out of which dropped ;
600 note. "It was your lordship'
kind loan of this sum-" said the note
that started me in life and enabled
me to have the honor of sitting mex
to your lordship at dinner" A strang
story. But the Stanhopes are strang
race, and things happen to them tina

Big Price for old Portrait.

The most valuable picture that has
been offered to the London public
TINS season was sold the other day
at Willis rooms by Messrs. Robinson
q Fisher. It was Hoppner's three
quarter length portrait of Lady
Louisa Manners, who was, afterward
countess of Dysart.
The work is familiar in its en-
graved form, and the picture was one
of the treasures of "a Carlton House
terrace. 1t was sold by order of the
executor of the late Lady Charles
Bruce. and formerly was the proper
ty of Lady Laura To1lemache, after
ward Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury.
The bidding started at 5000 gum
cas-, Messrs. Duveen Brothers and
Charles Wertheimer being the leading
bidders, and was taken to 14.O5O
guineas. at which price it was
knocked down TO Duveen.

AUSTRALIANS CAPITAL.
still Matter of Doubt as to Where
1t Will Be Located Per-
nlanently.

Nobody yet knows where the future
capital of federated Australia is to
be located. 1t is agreed that Mel
bourne must be the temporary me-
tfopolis for five years at the very
least. Everything possible is being
done by the Melbourne local authori-
ties to make the commonwealth gov
ernment and parliament comfortable
in their city and reluctant to depart,
says the London Chronicle. Their
presence not only confers prestige
but circulates considerable quanti-
ty of cash. It is Sir William Lyme
who, as home secretary, has control
of all the preliminaries incidental to
the selection of the site of the Otta-
wa of the antipodes. Some predict
a prolonged controversy over this
matter, as Sydney is still swayed to
a large extent by local considerations,
one of which is that the new federal
capital must on no account be To-
Gated where it might interfere with
Sydney's commercial supremacy or
paramount Importance as the parent
British settlement in the southern
seas. Sir William Lyme is himself a
strong Sydneyite in this sense.

BAD STATE FOR TRAMPS.
Kansas Farmers Method of Securing
Hands for Harvest Work Is
Intense.

There is a positive dearth Of hands
for the wheat harvest in Kansas, and
a posse is at once sent after every
tramp who is incautious enough to
enter the state. The old farmers
watch every train that passes
through their sections for help.
They assemble in squads at the depot
each morning and evening, and when
the trains stop they dash through
them looking for people who want to
work. IS a great scramble at near
ly every station in the wheat belt,
says the Kansas City Journal. The
rush reminds one of football game
between two college teams. Out in
Pratt county every train is stopped
by the farmers and searched for la
borers. If man is on the bumpers
he is dragged off and put to work
In order to be sure that the imported
harvest hands do not leave under
cover of darkness, the old farmer
puts his regular hired man ON guard
with Winchester. The work of saw
ing the big crop is a serious problem
with the farmers, and they are not
taking any chances.
Women and children are also being
drafted into service They usually
run the binders. On every hand can
be seen a woman driving from three
to four horses to self binder. while
the old men and the children are
shocking the sheaves. The rush of
work will not end with the cutting of
the wheat. The thrashing is yet to
do, and it takes almost as many
hands to thrash crop as it does to
reap it.

Chicago will have team of dino
saurs to exhibit in the Field Colum-
bian museum, owing to the remark
able success that has crowned the
efforts of Prof. Riggs. Three weeks
ago he found one of the antediluvian
monsters, and the other day came
across another 10 miles from Grand
Junction, Col. The remains are per-
feet, and the professor says they are
the best ever recovered.
The latest acquisition is over 90
feet long and nine feet high. It is not
improbable that the latest find may
result in the discovery of a pasture.
ground for the monsters, in which
event the whole country will be thor

of buying the ground for national

HYPNOTIC TEST A FAILURE,
BIacIzsnake Buried with n Man at
Wheeling, w. Va, Refuses to
Remain HypnOtized.

A hypnotist and his subject, James
"Cannonball' Morris, who have for
several years given exhibitions at
Wheeling, W. Va, have made one
failure. The hypnotist used to hypno-
tize Morris and bury him under
ground in the local parks and resur-
rect him the next day for the edi-
fication of public pienics, but these
became commonplace, So the other
night Morris was hypnotized, with a
ive-foot blaclsnalSe, and buried with
it, to be dug up the next day at the
butchers picnic. About daylight the
guard was reused by muf1ed cries
for help coming u2 from the earth,
and, through the air pipe Morris told
him the snake had come from under
control and was getting entirely too
friendly. Morris was released in a
few minutes. He was black in the
face. The friendly serpent was thrice
wrapped about his neck.

WILHELMINA,S HUSBAND.
He owes 100000, and His Wife Won't
Help Him Out by Paying
His Debts.

The Hamburg papers are full-but
the position taken up by Queen Will
helmlna in regard to the debts of her
prince consort, says the corresponds
ent of the London Truth. She thinks
she has done enough in granting him
10000 a year. That was what the
late inestimable prince consort was
valued at by the house of commons
IN 1889. It ought to be enough in all
reason for a Mecklenberg, the fifth
son of a poor house.
SO says the Hamburg News, which
also states that the debts amount to
$4,000, that the creditors have clam
ored round the queens. palace, and
that their threats were the cause of
much disturbance there.
Prince Henry's pay in the Prussian
army was very small, and his private
income probably no greater, if so
great. He is. a judge of horses and
was one of the best-mounted officers
of the Household guard. The ex-

There is a vocation followed by
only one man. The vocation is that
of travelling Inspector on the Ameri-
can ocean liners, and in the course
of his employment he crosses the
Atlantic oftener than any other hui
man being. This unique vocation is
held by Alexander Filippini He
spends practically no time on land,
frequently reaching port in time to
sail back again on another liner the
same day. It can readily be under
stood that the provision of excellent
meals on steamships is a very diff
cult task on account of the small
working quarters for cooking, and
the difficulty of keeping up. supplies
of varieties of fresh vegetables. meat
and fruit. The inspectors duties are
in overseeing and improving the
