TRICKS OF THE TRADE.
How One Street Fakir Gets Attention
 in the Hotels.

Better put this in the safe" said q dapper young fellow with long curly hair flowing over his shoulders and Il Willie boy" walking cane in his hand. as he approached the night clerk at the Savoy the other evening and pulled frcm his pocket q huge roll of green backs. II will extract one five-dollar bill from the bundle, as I might want to spend it in taking in the town
 The clerk handed the long-haired boy an envelope. The money was placed therein and the boy, in a bold hand, wrote on the envelope, Prince - -, City of Mexico"
 Who is that fellow?" asked an eld- erly gentleman who was standing near the register awaiting his turn.
 Hes the son of Mexican prince, said the clerk.
 Prince the dickens," chirped in a well known travelling man. Hes a street fakir known all over the country for his cleverness. His claim to [e a prince, his long curly hair. genteel ap- pearance and gift of gab is making him fortune. What he did here tonight will be repeated at every hotel before he leaves Kansas City. On every oc- casion he flashes that roll of bills mere ly by the way of advertising, and when he opens up his stand on the streets you can bet your last summers panama that he'll get the coin
 The long-haired prince" attracts considerable attention wherever he goes. Not because he is q swell dresser but on account of his hirsute growth His fingers are covered with cluster diamond rings and large shining stud adorns his shirt front. Hes one oi those clever creatures capable of earn ing handsome income without work ing too hard for it.-kansas City Jour nal.

A TEMPE FATALITY
Sudden Death of Joe Ieo an Employe
 of the fl. @ P. R. E.

A man named Joseph Igo employed by the M. & r. and $. R. V. railroad died very suddenly yesterday in Tempe the immediate cause of his death be- ing the extreme heat. though later re- ports indicate that he was made un- unusally susceptible to the stroke through protracted periods of indul- gence in strong drink.
 Igo was a member of the bridge gang and was at work as usual yes terday. About 10 o'clock while at work on the bridge over Salt river, he became exhausted and though all pos sible was done for him he expired soon after. There seems to be no one here who has an intimate knowledge of the man or where his friends are and the officials of the railroad last evening had not been able tO communicate with anyone acquainted with his personal affairs.
 Respecting his sudden death an off cial of the railroad was asked if he had been drinking heavily and he re- piled that so far as he knew he had not as he had been working every day. A Tempe man who chanced to be in Phoenix though, said that while he did not know MT. Igo it was a mat ter of common report in Tempe that the man had been drinking heavily nearly every night for q week, though he was sober every morning and had worked regularly.

These will be decorated with paintings by E. D. C. Peixotto telling in oils the history of New York from the landing Of Heinrich Hudson down to the pres ent day. These rooms will all display examples of the highest class of mural decoration.
 The vestibule and the lobby. or en- trance to the theatre, will be embellish- ed by very beautiful and artistic terra cOtta ornamentation. In the lobby there will also be twelve panels in re- lief by r. Hinton Perry. Five of these will illustrate the Shakespearian drama. five the Wagnerian Tetralogy, and one each Faust" and the old Greek or religious drama. Beside these, there are two panels in the foyer by Perry illustrating old and new New Amster- dam.
 The facade of the building will be decorated by group of free standing statuary from the chisel of George Gray Barnard, group representing eighteen months labor by MT. Barnard and his assistants. All the plastic work. of which there will be many very beau tiful and artistic examples. is by the Newmark Brothers of Bremen and Bas- sel of Christiana. modelled by St. John Issing.
 The keynote of the decorations is the L'Art Nouveau idea. or the decoration of the architecture and interior along

THE VIRTUE OF POTATOES.

One morning early. We began to plant the shrubs Where will ye have the rosey dandrums?' was my greeting from Thomas as I entered the garden. Having noticed from the breakfast ta- ble that he had slyly buried something at the bottom of each hole prepared for the planting, l waited my chance the first minute he was out of sight. dropped on my knees, felt around in the soft soil at the bottom of the hole and unearthed-a potato. Another hole and still another was examined. Yes, there was a potato in each; he must have wasted q bushel,
 Thomas" I said. when he had re- turned with a lead from the compost heap, what are these potatoes doing down here:''
 Devil q tree will grow in Oireland without wan" he explained How is that?" l asked. in darkest ignorance.
 'Ye see, mum, the patatey sprouts furst off then. begorrah, it lifts the loife into thetree and obliges it to push up fornist." As matter of fact. We did not lose tree or shrub. in spite of the long drought.-Country Life in America.

REMARKABLE DECORATIONS OF A
 NEW THEATRE.

The decorations of Klaw & Erlanger $ New Amsterdam Theatre promise to be the most magnificent to be found in any public building in New York The great painting to go over the proscen- ium arch. with it's fanking side panels. was painted by the late Robert Blur! and \. E. Wcrzell- These pictures are s2id by New Works best known artists to surpass in point of mural decoration anything on this continent, with the exception of Blum's own work in Men delsohn Hall in New York and the Alb by and Sergeant works in the Boston public library.
 The New Amsterdam Theatre will not only be noted for it's completeness of construction and beautiful decorations. but also for it's many conveniences. which will include the New <,mster- dam Room,' smoking room, a recep- ton room and a ladies retiring room.
