AN EMPEROR's EQUAL
KENTUckiAN DID NOT UNCOVER
BEFORE DOM PEDRO.
Brazilian MONARCH, Displayed Pleasure
1t Ia Exhibition OF Independence
Drank Toast TO Health of the Other
Emperor and Parted Good Friends.

The visit Of Prince Henry recalls
to a correspondent Of the Kansas City
Star an incident which he relates as
follows:
Just after the close Of the civil
war Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil
visited the United States. One Of the
places he visited was the mammoth
cave in Kentucky. On his arrival at
Cave City, the nearest point on the
railroad to the cave, he stopped, with
his suite. at the village hotel and sent
his interpreter to get a conveyance
to take the party to the cave. The
interpreter found all the public con-
yeyances had already gone to the
cave. The landlord told him the only
suitable private conveyance In the vii
lage belonged to Jack Thompson. who
not in the habit Of driving his
Kentucky horses and his fine canopy
topped. t~hree-seated rig except for his
own family. However, a price was
named that suited Jack and the party
was soon under way to the a v The
emperor's party consisted of six
persons.
After q pleasant ride Of six miles
the party arrived at a grove OF maple
trees, where they stopped and alighted
for refreshments, Of which a bountiful
supply had been brought. One of the
party filled a golden cup with fine
spirits and handed 1t to Dom Pedro.
Upon the emperor's taking the cup the
party all removed their hats-all ex-
cept Jack. Dom Pedro called the at
tention of the interpreter to the fact.
told him to say to the driver that he
was the emperor of Brazil and that it
was the custom that when the en-
peror drank all present remove their
hats. The message was conveyed. the
interpreter adding: you will please
remove your hat" Jack. holding his
lines in one hand, Strengthened up
and replied: "Sir, say to your -em-
peror that as an act of politeness I
would remove my hat to the most
humble peasant in his country, but
as a command l would not remove it
for no dam man on earth. I am an
emperor myself"
The interpreter told Dom Pedro III
his own language precisely what Jack
had said, whereupon the emperor or
dered another golden cup filled from
the decanter and hanaed it to his in
terpreter, telling him to present it to
the ''other emperor" Jack took it
and Dom Pedro said, through his in
terpreter: "This is the first time in
my life that I have had the opportuni-
ty and pleasure Of drinking with an
emperor. Here is to your health and
long life"
During the rest Of the visit, which
was three days at the cave, Dom Pc
dro and Jack and the interpreter were
the best Of friends. the emperor never
drinking without climbing cups with
Jack. Dom Pedro paid all bills, and
at parting with Jack Thompson shook
both his hands many, many times.
