her case affords the first accurate Zine"
since that of Miss Alice Thaw, who be-
came countess of Yarmouth, upon the
cost of a titled husband.
In the case of Miss Thaw the brides
mother took the unusual step of telling
the Associated Press the facts of the
nuptial arrangement. From her state
ment l figured that the young man was
to receive a fund which he could not
touch, and whose income was about
that of a fairly successful lawyer, say
S., 900 a year. No n supposes that this
limits the cost of being a countess. The
countess of Yarmouth received upon
coming of age almost exactly an ever
million dollars, in addition to her share
of the Hecla Coke trust, which is to be
kept intact for years. Really she turned
over only about one-tenth of her income
for the personal use of her actor-hus-
band.
By a curious coincidence the Hows
marriage will furnish information al
most as definite. The noble Count di
Cini pronounce it "de C~heenee') de-
manded Slo,0OO per year for himself, and
the payment of his debts to the amount
of $70,0 900. The Howe side refused. Di
Cini flung away in a passion, but con-
cluded to return and compromise upon
$4,000 cash and a life annuity of $40, 900,
which at his age means a present pur-
chase price of nearly $1,000 900. Such
quarrels are not always so easily settled.
A noble prince of France afianced to
wed Miss Glendolen Caldwell, who has
since become Marquise Monsters and
has futtered the Catholic world by abb
curing that faith, broke off the match
because of his exorbitant demands vera
not met. do they think they can get a
prince for the price of a German Graf?"
this precious nobleman once remarked
to his associates in a billiard room.

Things for Breakfast.

This morning about Z o'clock, says
a writer in the Albany Journal, l was
in a grocery store near my house and
there were a number of people there
waiting anxiously to be waited upon.
In rushed a little fellow and he pushed
himself up to the counter and called
out:
"Say, mister, hurry up and wait on
me, will yer, cause me mudder wants

ly Christian nation in the world-though
the Coptic faith of his fathers is rather
a corruption of the doctrines that pre-
vail farther west. Anyhow, he's a good
Judge of beasts. Menelik's zebra, which
Is to go with the other animals to the
Washington geological park, is called
the biggest in the world. AS the zebra
is now almost extinct in Africa, where
so little time ago it roamed by the thou
sands, the experiment is to be tried of
crossing the animal with sturdy mares.
The hybrid thus obtained promises to
be valuable in subtropical climates
where the horse is subject to disease.
The half-zebra should be useful in the
Tsetse fly districts of Africa. Mr.. Ellis,
who has brought over the animals, says
these experiments will be in the charge
of army officers.
The exhibition of Menelik's animals
has conceded with the opening of the
East side portion of the subway, which
runs up pretty nearly to the Bronx park,
where the pets have been boarding for
the time. Not in all the world else
where is there such a fine animal board
ing house. Something like a square mile
of land is divided into spacious runs where
even such wide ranging beasts as deer
and elephants and bison are seen in
something like natural conditions. The
Abyssinian lion, the two ostriches, the
two balloons of startling likeness to HUI
man beings. have attracted throngs.
Ordinarily there are a few hundred peo-
pie in the. park Of a week day, a few
thousands on Sunday after church.
Menelik's gift has recalled the throngs
that for a few weeks after its arrival
came to see little Miss C~arnegie's gift,
which is as nearly as possible her ideal
of "the hairiest lion in the world"
New York children are well provided
with free animal shows. Besides the
wonderful collections in Bronx park the
old Central park menagerie is main
tanned in fair size and condition; and
in Prospect park, Brooklyn, a fine indie
pendent collection has grown up within
ten years. In particular there are here
nine most excellent bears, scarcely
known to fame outside of Brooklyn, yet
they are meritorious bears.

All or None.

"Bixby!" bawled the brakeman on
the Mooresville line, and the train
slowed down in front of two or three
houses and five country negroes
standing close to the track, says the
Charlotte Observer. There was a cen
trail figure in the party. He was a
man of middle age and the others
looked as if they were his family. The
man had under each arm a little pig
or shoat, and they were resting tran
GULLY in their places. The negro had
on most gay apparel, but the most
striking thing about him, outside the
pigs. was a blue celluloid collar. He
made for the steps as the train came
to a standstill, but the brakeman in
tercepted him.
you can't take dem pigs on board"
said he.
"Huccome'?" asked the would-be
traveller.
"'Cause you can't; dat's why"
The negro boiled with rage.

portfolios anew on the 4th OF next
March, but it is known that there will
be some changes in that body. Secre-
tary of State Hay has been invited to
remain, and has accepted the invita-
ton. This fact has created much
satisfaction, not only in this country,
but among the important foreign pow
ers, who all admit that John Hay is
now the greatest living diplomat of
the world. Secretary of Wal Taft will
continue, but there is some doubt
about Paul Morton retaining the sec
r~etaryship of the navy. His old rail-
road ties are very strong and the Santa
Fee management wants him back to
help run that system. Attorney Gen
eral Moody may hold over until the
new administration, but there are
strong inducements for him to re-
tire and accept a partnership in a law
firm in Boston that has been held
open for him for several months. Sec
rotary Shaw, of the treasury, is to be
invited to continue as the financier of
the administration, and he will ac-
cept.
Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock
may give up his seat in the cabinet,
in which case it is believed that Sec
rotary Metcalf, of the department of
ommerce and labor, will take the
portfolio of the interior. National
Chairman Cortelyou is to be made post
master general, while Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wilson can stay where he is
as long as he likes. Mr.. Wilson is
regarded as the best head Of the de-
partment of agriculture the govern
ment has ever had, and the great
work that he has i~naugurated, espe-
cially in the west, in the way OF in
PRODUCING new crops. new methods OF
cultivation, and, above all, his advo-
cacy of irrigation, make him the
farmers friend, and a great howl
would go up if President Roosevelt
should leave him out of his next
cabinet. There is no danger, how
ever, that the president will let such
a valuable man go.

times lasts five or six hours. Every

various national guards to the num-

itical and civic organizations in fancy

The post of honor in this pageant is
that of escort to the president. 1t is
about settled that Black Cavalry, troop

honor. 1t acted as escort to Presi-
dent Mckinley at both of his Inaugural
tons, and performed similar service
for Presidents Hayes and Garfield. 1t
is a fine body of horsemen, each mem
Der owning his own mount, and each
animal being a splendid black. In
addition to this, the president has in
d;cated a desire to have a troop or
O.. least a section of his old rouge
riders, most Of whom are now in the
Faith United States cavalry, to act as
part of his escort. He would like to
have the boys appear in the uniforms
they wore when they served under
him in the Spanish war. If they are
selected, they will probably be his
bodyguard, surrounding the carriage
of state as the president is driven
from the white house to the capitol
and back again. The City troop, OF
Philadelphia, a cavalry organization
100 years old, would like to act as the
presidents escort, as it held that post
of honor at the inauguration OF neal
ly all the earlier presidents, and up
to Grant and Harrison. 1t will have
to content itself with a humber posi-
ton in the line, however, as the crack

ration committee will be one of the

States. There is great rivalry to Sc
cure the place of chairman of this
committee, and also conspicuous posi-
tons upon it. Denied the right of
franchise, the citizens of the District

the excitement of an election, but they
come out strong when the people of
the country send their president here
to be inaugurated.
Mr.. Charles C. Glover. a prominent
real estate man and banker of The
district, will head the Inauguration
committee, and his corps of assist
ants will number most of the promi-
nent business men and public-spirited
citizens of the capital city. The eX-
penses of the inaugural ceremonies
and pageant are guaranteed by a pub
lie subscription, and it is calculated
that 100000 will be required to induct
President Roosevelt into office on the
4th of March, with all the honors and
glory BETTING a man who has re-
ceived the greatest popular indorse-

money is likely to be refunded, as
there are several sources of revenue
