Royalties seem to possess more rec
most other classes.
The German Emperor is, OF course,
In the van. He has made go speeches
unequaled by any of his subjects. He
probably holds also the travel record
for anyone except an engine driver. In

( land and sea. His average journeyings
for the last seven years have been 49,
GOO to $4,000 miles a year. Another
record of the Kaiser's Is the owner
ship of the greatest number Of estates
held by any one person on earth. lie
has no fewer than eighty-three.
The Shah of Persia speaks three lat
guages, but the Khedive leads the list
with a good knowledge of six diferen,
tongues. His Arabic, Turkish, FrencA
and English. are perfect, and he is SUI
ficiently well acquainted with German
and Italian to make himself understood
without the least difficulty, though h,
is not really a fluent speaker of these
tongues. Few men alive can do more
The young King of Italy is the pos
SCISSOR of a magnificent collection or
coins. There are $4,000 specimens kept
in tWenty-fOur great cupboards. These
coins come from 200 different minis
The old Roman coins are unequaled.
Besides being in the very first class
as a writer of romantic word pictures,
the talented Queen of ROumania is be-
lieved to be unequaled anywhere as an
embroiderer. That this is no idle boast
on the part of her admirers is proved
by the fact that her work took the
gold medal at the Paris exhibition in
open competition with that Of all the
best seamstresses in Europe.
Nor was Carmen Sylvia the only royal
exhibitor at the great Paris show.
King Carlos of Portugal sent very
beautiful pastel drawing, for which
he, judged as an artist, and not King.

Mention has been made Of the

over 65O,OO0OOO acres of cultivated soil
to say nothing of uncOunted square
miles of forest, and about sixty-five

Sophie of Prussia. At her wedding she
had to kiss 146 different royal friends

John w. Gates recently spent an
hour and half with Morgan in the
latters private. Office. When he en-
erged, placid and matter of fact, he
carried in a pocketbook checks to the
value of $1S 900, 900. Gates neither
confirmed nor denied this as he walked
away and made no attempt, for several
blocks at least, TO spend any of it.
The $4,000, 900 represents the bal
lance of the $50, 900, 900 paid to the
Gates syndicate for turning over the
Louisville & Nashville, $1,000, 900 of
w hich Gates got before he went abroad.
This was the time when the balance
was to be paid, and it was known that
Gates went to Mo- gan's Office to COM
plete the transaction.
1t was said by representatives of
Harris, Gates e. Co. that the deal had
Melted exactly $1S, 900, 900, so that the
bunch of checks which Coates carried
out of Morgan's offic represented SO
much "velvet. "

The Same Everywhere-

Allen T. Bird, the editor and owner of the Nogales Oasis and the Benson Press, and one of the vet eran newspaper men of Arizona, evidently has had some experience with that class of hide bound para sites which cling to so many new Arizona towns like a presidential buzzard. MT. Bird speaks his mind as follows in the last issue of the Benson Press:
 ''In travelling throughout Ari- zona the Press editor has noticed that in every community there are a few who are ever ready to come to the front and put up their money to further any proposition of public import which will advance the in terests of the town and improve the values of real estate. And there are some property holders who will never do anything. Yet when the work is done and all the benefits accrue, the latter class are the first to raise their rents. Now, this does not mean you unless the applica- tion fits you"

Read It in His Newspaper.

George Schaub, a we'll known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant reader of the Dayton Volkzeitung. He knows that this paper aims to adver- tise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suffered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said: T feel as though born anew and be- fore using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up her household du- ties" He is very thankful and and hopes that all suffering like wise will hear of her wonderful re- covery. This valuable iniment is for sale by the Williams Drug Co.

 T. c. Job of Prescott and k. s. Clark of Flagstaff have formed a law co-partnership under the firm name of Job & Clark. MT.

Clark is not only a good lawyer, an elo- quent and convincing speaker, but has had a varied business expe- rience- He was engaged in the newspaper business for several years, and the experience gained in that line is of great benefit to him as an attorney.-Journal Miner.

The attorneys for the counties hit | back at the railroad with a demur- Ter. The judge did not grant the injunction, but decided that the law itself is unconstitutional.

Politics In Fort Mill.
Fort Mill Times: Politics is at low
ebb in Fort Mill at present, considering
the fact that the primary Is less than
two months off. Indeed, as one man
put it. you couldn't pull an expression
OF political preference from the average
citizen with a cork screw" This re-
mark is a bit far-fetched, Of course, but
it tends to show that the people are
taking little interest in the campaigns.
In the hope of being enabled to make
an intelligent forecast OF. the result VI
the gubernatorial and senatorial prima-
ries in this township, The Times man
recently talked with a number OF rep
sentative farmers and business men on
the subject, but in almost every in
stance these men refused to express a
preference for these offices. From the
general trend of the conversation OF
most of those with whom the reporter
talked, however, it can be stated as an
inference fairly drawn that ex-Con-
gressman John ]. Hemphill and ex-
Governor John Gary Evans are at pres
ent in the lead for the senatorship.
There is no denying the fact that Mr.
Hemphill's speeches have made a ia
yorable impression in Fort Mill, and
that he will receive votes which would
not have gone to him two weeks ago,
while Ex-Governor Evans will probably
land the votes of most of those who
originally intended to vote for Mr.. Lat
inner The race for the governorship
seems to be between Captain Hayward
and Colonel Talbert, with the chances
in favor of the former receiving the
largest vote. Colonel Jim Tillman Will,
of course get some votes at the two
precincts in this township, but from
present indications he will run far be-
hind Captain Hayward and Colonel
Talbert. Only one man has expressed
to the reporter his intention of voting
for Mr. Ansell.
