PRINCE AND sAvATIoNIST.
A Story Told of the Present King
 of England

There Is an interesting little story told by Walsh Dawson in the Social Gazette, q London publication. It occurred just two years ago. Dawson had been asked to call on Lord - in connection with the work of the Salvation Army and in the midst of thick fog had lost his way. When in the nelghborhood of Bucking- ham Palace he ran against gentleman and asked if he could direct him to Lord -'s house.
 'SCertainly," he replied good naturedlA "I am going near the place myself. will show you the house l also know Lord - very well inueed."
 We chatted away merrily. I told him all about my work and of the magnificent labors of all those connected with the Sal vation Army. He seemed deeply inter- ested and, when at last I reached the house of Lord -, he said to me with great earnestness:
 "Oh, it Is dreadful to think that so much suffering exists in this city. Is 1t really as bad as you say, sir2"
 Tt Is, indeed" I replied.
 Well, l must say good night" he re- marked, after a slight pause. Before go, however, I want you to accept this little gift-this gift for the poor suffering ones May God bless you and the work of the Salvation Army!"
 He placed in my hand the little gift - ten bright gold sovereigns!
 Dawson. it need hardly be said. was as- tonished and more than grateful.
 The Salvationist continues his story as follows:
 Sir" I said, with considerable emotion, God will reward you for this generosity; God will bless you. But your name, sir? What name will put down in my book2'
 He seemed disturbed at. this question and replied hurriedly: No name at all no name at alL please; simply Anony- mous.'
 Just then the fog cleared little and could see my generous friends face dis tinctly. It was surely familiar to me very familiar. Now, where and when had I seen his face before? All at once the truth flashed over me and, raising my hat l exclaimed: Your Royal Highness!'
 "No, noi' answered the gentleman smil- ing; mot that, please-simply 'Anony- mous.' "
 Raising his hat and bidding me hearty "good night" he swiftly hurried away.
 "Yes." concludes Dawson, ''it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales-now His Majesty, King Edward VII.'

Wednesday Night Gertrude Coghlan.

At the Montgomery Theatre Wednesday night Gertrude Coghlan will be seen in dramatization of Maurice Thompson spirited romance of the American Revo- lution entitled Alice of Old Vincennes.
 In the title role Miss Coghlan is called upon to do a class of work different from any with which she has been before as- sociated. There is said to be sweetness, a dash, a charm. yet withal a dignity about her impersonation that is delightful to witness. The play gives many oppor- tunities for a study of the costumes of Revolutionary days in Southern Indiana. and the scenic effects are the most elabo- rate with which a romantic drama has been invested. Seats now on sale.

A traveller gives this thrilling account
Of IN earthquake in the far east:
1.-THE one occasion saw panic was
in Calcutta in June, 1897. 1t was a
Saturday evening about 8 o'clock. 1t
was pantingy hot, and was one or q
party Of pajama clad men sitting on
the roof of high house no wing tea,
I'VE were in the midst Of merry
chatter when the whole building began
to tremble We were instantly hushed
and looking at one another with blank
faces until a feeling Of terror took pos
session of US, and somebody shouted,
My God, an earthquake!
I'VE stampeded. There were three
flights of stairs to 60 down, and or
course the latest and slowest man was
in front and blocked the way. The
walls were cracking and yawnlng; the
plaster was falling in chunks.
I'VE were all barefOoted, but that
didn't matter. In front or the house
was the meidan, the great open space
in Calcutta. We ran there. A great
part of the adjoining house came down
with roar The whole front Of news
paper office crashed into the street. The
top Of the cathedral spire came OF and
fell through the roof into the chancel.
Horses were stricken with madness
and were careering furiously beyond
all control. The natives were shrek
ing, Europeans, blanch checked, tore
from their houses, and many OF the wo.
men tainted.
1.-THE thing will never forget was
what followed. There was the crunch
Of ripped walls, and the whole earth
was heaving and trembling very much
like a ship that has banged against
pier and taken time to recover. The
awful sensation was the feeling Of i'm.
pOtence.
1.-THE earthquake lasted only five
minutes. though ut the time 1t seemed
like hours Men could only stand Oh
the heaving seasick ground absolutely
helpless, unable to speak. but staring
into each others white countenance
