PRINCE HANDY WITH HIS FISTS.
The Prince is amply able to take care
of himself. He is a trained boxer and
in his brief career so far has made an
international reputation by the use of
his fists. Three years ago he and his
wife made a trip around the world,
| They visited Canada, England, Africa
and went back home by way of AustIa-
liza. This little tour cost them about
s42. 600, but they got their moneys
worth. 1t was marked by two fistic
encounters in which the Prince came
off first best In Canada he was mis-
taken for a negro. something that is
a deadly insult to the royal gentleman.
A foolish Canadian referred to him as
a Niger and Prince Cupid promptly
responded with a straight from the
shoulder blow. A pretty little fight en-
sued in which the Prince was getting
the better of the insulter, when friends
interfered. The fight ended, explana-
lions were made and the two men be-
came good friends.
On the same trip an italian made a
similar mistake and applied the oppro-
brious epithet whereupon Prince Cupid
gave the descendant of the Caesars a
trouncing. He found, as some of our
naval officers did not long ago, that it
is rather dangerous to get into a row
in Italy He was arrested, but upon
the intercession of an American consul
was released after paying a fine of $500
The Southern Congressman who are so
sensitive on the race question are to be
warned in advance that Prince Cupid is
not g. BLACK and TAM" although he may
not be lilly white" His prowess in
the use of his fists will impress this fact
upon the Southern gentlemen.
MAY GIVE HAWAIIAN BANQUETS.
Prince Cupid has had his share of
royal entertainments and in the old
days participated in all the semi-bar-
barrie festivities and ceremonies of his
native isles. His wife is very fond of
display and his ample fortune, which
is reckoned at over half a million, has
permitted him to indulge her tastes. If
she cares to institute the Hawaiian
banquet or "luau" in their Washington
establishment she will be INDUCED and
the social world will have its jaded APP
petite stimulated. The truth is that
the Prince and his wife will be urged to
give entertainments of this kind and
they promise to become as popular as
the hospitality OF the former Chinese !
Minister, Mr.. WI. The delegates lit /
tie quota of flowers from the Botanical |
Gardens will hardly meet the demands |
Of a Hawaiian feast and function, as |
wreaths of flowers in the greatest pro- |
fusion are the feature of such affairs. |
The royal pair may, and no doubt will, |
Introduce the strange food delicacies |
that have made the Hawaiian Islands
celebrated.
Prince Cupid is now making a tour
Of the Hawaiian Islands in order to be-
come acquainted with the needs of his |
people before coming to Washington.
He is expected to arrive here shortly in |
order to familiarize himself with his !
duties a territorial delegate before |

he takes his seat
