STAINS KING LAUGHED.

The king of Spain has shocked his subjects, who are first of all faithful sons of the church. by expressing con- tempt for so sacred relic as the toe nail of St. Peter. kept in the cathedral at Leon. It is. indeed, gravely inti- mated that he has, by his irreverent speech on this matter, endangered his crown. His apologists attribute his conduct to an exuberance of boyish spirits, he being but 16 years old. though his remark discrediting St. Pe- ter's toenail, accompanied by a con- temptuous giggle. is generally taken in Spain to indicate an unbalanced mind, and perhaps incurable insanity, as it seems impossible that Alphonso, with the careful training that he received from his religious mother, has deliber- ately accepted the teachings of infidel- ity. Perhaps if his subjects will be patient with the boy he will, in due time, curb his spirits and expiate his offense by making a kingly pilgrimage to Leon, to do reverence to the sacred toenail, as did several of his predeces- sors.-Porland Oregonian.

sCHwAB GIVES AWAY AN AUTO.

Julian Block, a chauffeur to Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel corporation, is probably the happiest man on the broad Allan tic. Just before he sailed MT. Schwab b presented to Block an automobile worth $1O 900 because he did not like its looks. When MT. Schwab came to New York from his fathers home at Loretto, Pa, last week, to prepare for his trip to Europe he had a consultation with his chauffeur regarding his automobiles and how many, if any. were to be taken to Europe during his stay on the other side. There were four machines. MT. Schwab did not recognize the smallest "a twelve horse power machine-as his own property. Ii seemed insignificant alongside the other monsters.
 Who owns that machine?' asked MT. Schwab.
 Why, that is your old one," said Block.
 "So it is," said MT. Schwab, but guess I'll sell it. No, I won't. I don't like the idea of throwing over the old friends for the new. We'll keep it in the family. It is yours. I present it to you."-Chicago Record Herald.

FIRST TASTE OF DISCIPLINE.

Admiral Jouett probably one of the jolliest seadogs our navy. ever knew once told this amusing story of his early days as cadet:
 "I was a sociable yOungster." he says, and when I went to my first assign ment, the Independence, and saw the stars and stripes floating over it I re- membered my mother had taught me that my first duty was to the flag, so I attempted some conversation on this line with the executive officer who had received me when l came on board and who was one of the strictest disciplin- arians in the navy of that day.
 Silence, sir!' he roared at my first question, his face red with anger. Silence, sir! Who gave you permission to speak? Let me hear only six words from you, sir while you are on this ship-"port,' ''starboard,' ives, sir and mo, sir."'
 And this was my first discipline in the navy"

VANDERBILT FEUD SPREADS.

The feud in the Vanderbilt family has now extended to the children and help" The servants at "the Break ers," Oakland Farms" and at the Whitney place on the avenue have strict orders never. under any circum- stances, to look at, recognize, or hold conversation with any one employed at "Beaulieu" or at.the Wilson's.
 On the other hand the servants of the Nicely Vanderbilts are threatened with instant dismissal if they ever have dealings with any of the other Wander bilt or Whitney domestics. Every ser want in every one of the houses con- cerned knows the history of the feud. and the fact that they have orders not to speak to colleagues in the employ ment of the enemy is responsible for the many tales now being carried from house to house.
 The war between H. P. Whitney and the "Neely'' Vanderbilts is more bitter than the arrangement of Cornelius Vanderbilt and his mother, and every one knows how deep-rooted and pro- nounced is that alienation.
 Gertrude Whitney and Grace Wander bilt each gave the other the cut direct when passing on the avenue Friday, and they would go to almost any lengths rather than meet in a shop or at any kind of a function.-Newport letter to the Washington Post.

water question that has given the company so much trouble.
 | MT. Murphy leaves for Congress to- morrow, and thence to Phoenix to confer with the committee that is ar- ranging for the right of way of the Phoenix and Eastern railroad. From Phoenix he will go to Benson in the same connection, and visit Tombstone and very probably Chihuahua, Mexico, the Development Company of America having purchased 5O0,OO0 acres O; tim Der in the northern central part of the state.
 MT. Leon O. Bailey. general counsel for the Development Company of America, is accompanying MT. Murphy on this trip. MT. Bailey is we'll known in the east as one of the stalwart demo- crats of the country. having been twice elected to the state senate of Indiana on that ticket. He was also United States attorney for the same state dur ing MT. Cleveland's last administra- tion.
 In regard to the latest political sit uation in Arizona MT. Bailey expressed himself as regretting what would ap- pear to be a disposition on the part of the democracy of Arizona to indulge in extravagances in attacking both capital and corporations, so essential to the development of this new coun- try. He says that while he is a friend to organized labor, a proof of which is the fact that II have been chairman of the labor committee of the Indiana state senate; I realize that great harm may result from ill-advised and ex- treme agitation of what appears to many to be essential in order to se- cure to labor it's full rights and priv ileges under the constitution
 It may be noticed that MT. Murphy, though a strong republican, has asso- ciated with him men of like character, though of a different political faith. This is pretty fair guaranty that the Development Company of America is not by any means a political organiza- tion. It is a fact that has long been noticed that between men of affairs differences of opinion on political sub jects cut little or no figure where the business interests of the country are concerned.

CENTIPEDES AND PRAYER.

P. J. McCook of the Harvard club tells an interesting story of the degree to which faith is carried, even in the volunteer army. McCook was a cor poral in the Sixth Massa chusettst and took part in the Miles expedition to Porto Rico. The night after the battle of Guanica McCook's regiment spent it's first night on Porto Rican soil. Stories of centipedes had been circu- lated and the greatest nervousness was manifested by all as they lay down or the ground. Presently one of the pri- yates, who was known to his comrades as the "Modoc,' was observed kneeling in the long grass and praying
 70 Lord. bless the 'Modoc' and keep away the centipedes." was his plea In- stantly from all sides came an eager Amen
 Prom that time on,' said MT. Mc- Cook, "the members of the 'Modocs' company insisted each night on the repetition of that prayer. Not until he had made his little supplica tion and the company had shouted their Amen were they content 10 go to sleep. Night after night, with all solemnity and seri-

HIS VACATION DUTY.

He was hurrying down Fourth street with a large brown paper package un- der his arm, going toward the west side of that thoroughfare. when q friend stopped him for the usual morning greeting.
 This is my usual vacation duty,'' he answered, as he shifted his burden and wiped the precipitation from his paternal brow. My wife and daugh- ter are up in the mountains, and as they took only four trunks I am send ing them material enough for the fifth one, piecemeal, by express.
 "They apparently forgot a few things Before they reached their destination I received a telegram asking me to send a trifie that they had forgotten. and then the first letter brought a request for some more little things.
 Since then I have been dividing my time between ransacking the house for what they want and making it into packages and sending it by express, ex- cepting that now and then I vary the monotony by sending some of the small CT things by mail. You see, they began to pack only three weeks before they started and it is quite natural that q few things should be overlooked.
 -'I think that I am nearly through. for there is little else belonging to them left in the house and I don't believe that they will have any use for my clothing"
 He took a fresh grasp on the pack age and pursued his way.-New York Telegram.
