is quite pleased to take dignified ease among


them.
But he is also quite aware that an elabo-
rate game of hunt the king is the main OBJ
ject of their lives, and now that he is
little out of sorts and is gong to have a
change, he thinks, as most of us do, that
part of the change is to get away from
those he is always running up against. Had
he gone to Cannes there would have been
a prompt migration to the Riviera of all the
brilliant throng. But unless they intrust
themselves to airships they cannot pursue
the royal yacht. And that is the real eX-
olanation of the kings trip.
There is absolutely nothing in the opera
ton performed ON the Prince of Wales.
Nobody would have paid any attention to
the trifiing matter if there were not in So
clety parcel of old women who are always
declaring cancer to be hereditary in the
Hanoverlan race, and who, by their I'M
true cackl1ng, cause every trifie to be mag
nified. The slight ailment was only the re-
suit of the prince being slightly run down.
The truth is the fresh-air life of sailor
has not rendered him very fitting subject
for the sedentary life he now leads, and so
his system gets out of order. More i'm
portant, really, is the rumor that the Prin-
of Wales will not be going out much
during the latter part of the coming season,
and will make Frogmore her principal resi-
dence. Any domestic events in the lives of
the royal family become national ones, so
deep is the affection that the country feels
for the reigning house. The hint given in the
last two sentences is not absolutely GER
tain, but all the plans of the royal family
are being arranged on the supposition of its
accuracy.
After ALL there is going to be no Spanish
marriage, at all events, not yet. The Duke
of Connaught is fond father, and he wants
proofs that the very premature crop OF
King Alfonso's wild oats has all been sown
before he will even discuss an engagement
On the other hand the Spanish govern
ment, who are terrified at their young SOW
ereigns headstrong behavior, want TO see
him married at once. The risk of aSSassina-
ton will be diminished If there is an heir.
Really the matter is not shelved, for it was
discussed by the pope in his half hours au-
dience with the Duke of Connaught and
more may be heard of 1t when the Spanish
sovereign comes to London. 1t is said that
he would like a state performance at the
Empire, well as at the Opera, but there
is not much likelihood of this Nor will he
have leisure to wander about London in
cognito, as the King of the Belgians has
been fond of doing at intervals during
his long career. l.. II. MOORE.

Years to Repair Credit.

F1nanciers assert that it will be thirty

PORTO RICAN AFFAIRS
OF PROF. HOLLAN-
DER IS COMMENDED.
Believed Country Will Soon Come IN
der United States Rule-HaitIs
Finances Deplorable.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
SAN JUAN, P. R., April II, 1905.
In Porto Rico, where the abilities of Prof
j. H. Hollander are fully known and appre-
ciated his selection by President Roosevelt
to investigate and report as to the extreme
ly bad financial conditions in Santo Do
mingo is warmly applauded. AS the first
treasurer of Porto Rico under civil govern
ment Mr.. Hollander did herculean work in
founding the insular treasury system here
His arrival in San Juan last week, en- route
to Santo Domingo was signalized by many
warm greetings. Naturally he is reticent
as to what he expects to do in Santo Do
mingo, but those who know him best have
no doubt he will accomplish definite results.
1t is a significant fact that large num-
Der of the printed copies of the laws of
Porto Rico have been sent within the past
week to Santo Domingo City.
While Mr.. Hollander will use these in his
work, it is also surmised that President
Morales intends to study them as American
text books. Despite contrary assurances
from Washington, the belief here that
Santo Domingo will before long come under
the American flag is a widespread convic-
ton. The growing and ugly feellng In
Santo Domingo against Morales because OF
his accepting American support cannot but
eliminate in clash of arms, even If gem
come the final American victory.
Prof Hollander sailed from Porto Rico
two days ago on the United States gunboat
Chattanooga reaching Santo Domingo City
today He is accompanied by Hayden l..
Moore of the auditors office of Porto Rico,
and Judge Otto Schoenrich of Arecibo, one
of the brightest young jurists in the insular
service Judge Schoenrich goes a most

Financial Condition of Haiti.
Judging from the deplorable financial
condition of Haiti and the many serious
complications arising in the government of
that republic, 1t is supposed that an Ameri-
can commissioner will be sent to Haiti to
investigate and report upon the financial
condition of that country. 1t is authen-
tically asserted that the revenues of the
Haitian republic have been compromised
for the next thirty-five years by ex-Presi-
dent Teresias Simon Sam, who is now in
the Danish island of st. Thomas, living
comfortably on the many millions that he
has embezZled.
President Sam has been tried in the Hal
tar courts and sentenced to life imprison-
ment. with hard labor. for the embezzle-
ment of public funds, and he cannot visit
any Of the countries with which Haiti has
established the extradition treaty under
penalty of immediate arrest. Due to the

ident Sam, the president of the Haitian
Bank and several others, Haitans French

The Kilkenny Cats.
From the Detroit Tribune.


To fight like the cats of Kilkenny relates
to the Irish fable of two Kilkenny cats
which fought so fiercely that only their tails
were left. AS matter of fact the fable Is
said to have originated in an actual cpl
sode. During the Irish rebellion of 1903 1t
was a custom of the Hessian soldiers sta
toned at Kilkenny to tie two cats to-
gether by their tails, hang them over
clothesline and then leave them to fight.
Surprised one night at this brutal sport.
soldier drew his sword and by cut across
their tails set the cats free. The presence
of the tails was explained by saying that
the two cats had fought till only their tails
were left.

Hundreds of Millions.

How much money will they have to
count? Well, as near l can figure up at
the present writing there must be peace
fully resting in these vaults somewhere
about five hundred and thirty million in
money, bonds, notes and eVervthina else
There is in one of the vaults over a hum
dred millions in silver dollars. Then there
is heavy amount Of silver fractional cur
rency, and a fine lot of nickel five-cent
pieces and pennies.
The working cash is first handled That
is, the money that is constantly current
This work will be done at night so as to
give it a chance to do regular duty in the
daytime. Much of this money, particularly
the silver money, is counted in bulk and is
stored away in bags containing many dol
lars each. The slightest falling off in weight
even if the bag is only a dollar short is
shown by the delicate swinging of the
scale These bags filled by clerks. each
one having his name tagged to the. sack he
has filled, and tied up so that If there il
any discrepancy in the number of coins or
any coin missing the tag shows who the
clerk that filled the sack, and if he is
anywhere around the loss is charged to him
and must be paid by him. I don't mean to
say that this implies any dishonesty Far
from it. 1t is as likely to be the result of a
miscount in the first instance as anything
else. More so, in fact.
THE treasurer, | hear is to take
charge in July. That will be after the END
of the present fiscal year He will not be-
responsible for the funds until it is officially
certified that the amount TO be put under
his charge is correctly given. 1t is a Won
derful amount of money when you come to
think of it, but the treasurer is under very
heavy bond.
When the cash amounts in the various
subtreasuries is to be counted, as it also is
when there is a change made in the head of
the office, several OF the boys get good
jaunt. They, of course, have to attend
strictly to their work, but there is time
enough to study strange cities. They are
lodged in fine hotels and can consider them
selves of some Importance when they get
out of Washington. Here, no matter what
they are doing. they are just clerks In the

Headmaster at Elton,

The famous boys school, Eton College.
has, after being without a headmaster for
some months, now appointed, out of large
list of applicants, Canon Lyttleton well
known for his scholarship and his books on
boys training. Canon Lyttleton has been
a headmaster for fifteen years at HALEY
bury school, and has at any rate given old
HalIeybury boys a very definite opinion of
him. He has not been popular headmaster
there. but vague popularity is not a good
recommendation of one in such a position
Those who have come into personal rela-
tons with him like HIM very much and he
las made many useful reforms though his
seriousness has at times had in it a touch
OF the crank. Others who were up to
him in class at Elton remember him as a
fine athletic Englishman, with the same
seriousness of purpose.
Mr.. Lyttleton may be depended upon to
maintain the Elton traditions as, in common
with all his brothers, he was educated
there. He is the seventh son of the late
Lord Lyttleton. Mr.. Alfred Lyttleton the
colonial secretary, being the eighth and
youngest. He is also the nephew of the late
Mrs. Gladstone, who was his mothers sis
ter. The Lyttletons have been remarkably
fortunate IN attracting to themselves the
notice and favor of two prime ministers

able coadJutors to their own innate ability
In cricket the new headmaster of Elton has
gone mighty things, but on educational
|
spoken rather regret his appointment on the
sole ground that he is regarded as a bit of
"a crank
The luck of the Lyttletons, like the luck
of the LegSes, has become alIiteratively
provcrbial of the eight brothers. The old
est, Viscount Gotham, became a railway
commissioner: the third, Sir Neville who
married MIR. Stuart Wortley's sister is prac-
ticaily the military head of the army: the
fourth. the Hon. Spencer Lyttleton became
Mr.. Gladstone's private secretary; the fifth
became bishop; the eighth became colonial
secretary, and the seventh is now head
master of Elton.
The new headmaster has four sisters and
three step-sisters. OF the sisters two mar
ried brothers, the Bishop of Southwark CDR
Talbot and Mr.. j. G. Talbot. MP. third
is Lady Frederick Cavendsh and one is
in 1893 Mr.. Lionel Gust, who was appointed
director of the national, portrait gallery in
the same year.
The Kings Movements.
The kings movements are bothering his
friends. Everybody is. of course, pleased
that in the prime of life his majesty does
not make his plans with the elaboration
and forethought that characterized Queen
Victoria, but sometimes he sc@sxa9t in
