Korean Prince Who Is Attending An
American College.
American College.

stature, like the members of his race,
but bears prominently the stamp of a
scion of royalty. He dresses in the
hight of American fashions, and is very
neat, showing good taste.
81 like your American clothes-they
are more convenient than the garments
of my country"
II like America-it is great coun-
try" continued the prince. There Is
so much enterprise here, and so much
independence. In our country we are
just beginning to have some of the
things you have here We have a
railroad, electric lights, telephone and
telegraph and are now beginning to
develop the mineral resources of the
country. Many of your American in
Ventions are being introduced into
out country, and all we have adopted
thus far are due to the enterprise of
Americans.
But it will be a long time before all
your progressive ideas will find favor
in our country. For instance, the
Ohio Wesleyan University is a co-edu-
cational school. We have nothing of
the kind in Korea. Nor will we ever
have such an institution until the wo-
men IT our country are given the
freedom and independence your Ameri-
can ladies have. In our country the
women are, kept in. seclusion, and,
strange as 1t may seem, do all their
visiting at night They are never
seen on the streets in the day time
unless closely yelled, and boys and
girls are never allowed to be to-
gether in school or anywhere else.
There is no such thing in Korea as a
young man making love to a young
lady for the purpose of marriage. Boys
don't court the girls in Korea. The
parents of the young man and of the
young lady conclude that a match be.
tween their son and daughter would
be a good arrangement, and according
ly they arrange the contract. When
the wedding day comes, the young
man and the young lady are told that
they are to be married that day. At
ter the ceremony is performed, the
young man is permitted to lift the
veil of his bride, and see whether she
be pretty or ugly.
The result is, there is a great deal
of trouble and much unhappiness in
our country over marriages. Nor is
there any redress, for a marriage is
an absolute contract, and can never
be broken by divorce or otherwise. We
have no divorce laws in Korea.
Naturally, therefore, it is very
pleasing to me to,see the young ladies'
of your country associated together
with your young men at college,"
Prince Euiwha is very fond of the
society of the university ladies, with
whom he is a prime favorite.
The religious revival at Delaware,
which recently closed, impressed
Prince Euiwha very much. He said:
II should like to see Christianity
spread all over my country. It does so
much for the people. or course 1t has
been making considerable progress of
late years, but Confucionism and
Buddhism still exert their influence.
although the latter has been in great
disfavor in the cities for over 500 years,

Columbus, O., Jan. 13.-A Wheeling,

VIVA, heir apparent, son of the King

Graham (the beautiful 1s-year-old

one of the most prominent ministers

The Prince met Miss Graham at the

When she came home for the hol-
days, he came to Wheeling and stop

One of the dramatic promises of the
new year is the return of genial Tim
Murphy in his remarkably successful
comedy, "Old Innocence" This artist
holds a unique position on the stage.
There are no other comedians like him.
He belongs to that sincere natural
school which rs represented after years
by only this actor and Joseph Jeffer-
son. Sol Smith Russell was one of the
happy opponents of the same class of
pure, cheerful mirth that Mr.. Murphy
is a master of, and before him there
were John T. Raymond, w. F. Flor
ence and William Burton. They all be-
long to the permanent history of the
drama just as those genial humorists,
Thackeray, Dickens and Holmes do to
literature. Tim Murphy bears the same
relation to this illustrious line of COM
edians that Mansfield does to the trag-
edians. He is the last of a line of
great actors which extends from Booth
to Garrick, and embraces such play
ers as Davenport, Kean, Kemble and

color with Emotion.
From the New York World


Paris, Jan. 10.--Miss Marga Cerbus,
a young Roumanian girl whose skin
possesses the remarkable property Of
changing color in sympathy with her
varying sensations, is the physiologf-
cal wonder of the day for Partisan
scientists.
Her skin does not reflect the colors
in her vicinity, but a complete change
is produced by the different emotions
she feels.
Anger makes it much darker than
that of a negress.
JOY. turns it to pretty pink shade.
Anxiety causes her to assume pale
greenish tint.
Fear turns half her body to a beau
tiful violet hue.
The most extraordinary feature OF
the case is that the colors rarely COM
mingle, and for the greater part of
the time changes take place without
any apparent cause.
Her natural color is warnf dark
shade. Sometimes the face turns sud
denly to a deadly white, while the rest
of the body remains unchanged At
other times an arm, the neck, a hand
or foot turns a different shade, ac-
cording to the sensation experienced.
The only time the skin remains
without variation is when she is
asleep.
These curious variations in skin have
only made their appearance since she
met with a boating accident in which
she nearly drowned.
