Prominent Travellers.
Nearly every one who travels
much has a piece of baggage pc
culiar to himself. When one is an
ordinary citizen this is allowable
and no annoyance follows but in
the case of a prominentma every
one is consumed with curiosity to
know what is in the peculiar
piece of baggage.
Some time ago, when on duty
at the station, says an exchange,
l noticed a plain, square deal box,
about a foot in length and six OF
seven inches in depth, among the
luggage Of the prince and princess
of Wales at Paddington.
The box was fastened by a
black hoop and padlocked, and in
quiries revealed the fact that the
box is nearly always noticed
among the portmanteaus and
other impedimenta of the prince
of Wales when his royal highness
travels. The box is stamped on
the cover with a black royal cOro-
net. and what il contains has fire.

Capsizins of the Lapslev.

Nashville Tenn. Jan. 12.-rhe Foreign Missionary Commission of the Southern Presbyterian Church in session today re- ceived fuller and complete reports con- corning the loss occasioned by the capsiz- ing of the Mission boat Lapsley on the Congo River, in Africa. MT. Slaymaker, a missionary and twentythree of the na- tive crew were drowned, but a portion of the cargo was saved. The hull of the boat is intact but the accident developed the fact that the craft was incapacltated for the work. The commission resolved to provide larger and better boat. and an appeal will be made to the church for $50 900 for its construction.
