NEW YORK GRAFT.
Dentist BIed Prince Louis Of Battenburs
for 5 1000 For Filling -Four Teeth.
Prince Paid Bill,

New York, Nov. 21.-Prince
Louis' strenuous life in America
included several extra strenuous
hours in a dentists chair, and that
particular part of his program
proved costly. The total time
spent with the dentist was IL hours
according to friend of the prince;
and the bill was $1,000.
When the bill was presented the
prince said nothing, but gave his
check for the amount Later in
the day, however, he showed the
receipt to his friend, Colonel
Robert M. Thompson, who declar-
ed that it was pretty steep, even
for a New York dentist.
The prince paid the bill as soon
as it was presented, said Colonel
Thompson last night, and the
matter would have ended there had
l not seen the amount charged. 1
told the prince what 1 thought of
it, and his British sense of fair
play caused him to make protest.
The bill presented was not itemized,
and the prince, at my suggestion,
wrote the dentist asking that an
itemized bill be sent to Sir Percy
Sanderson, the British consul gen
eral. All further action will be in
Sir Percy's hands.
The work done by the dentist
consisted of filling four teeth and
putting in an artificial one. ="
The dentist who did the work
for the prince was not at home to
visitors LIST night. Earlier in the
day he is reported to have declined
to discuss the matter beyond say
ing that bill had been presented
and was paid.

Then He Gave His Reasons.

Gen. Miles tells the following
story of the strenuous times when
he was in active service in the west,
saws the Boston Herald
One day he received a telegram
from a subordinate who was in
Iured in a railroad accident while
on furlough, which read; Will
not report today as expected on &C
count of unavoidable circum-
stances. "
The tone of the message was not
satisfactory to the general, and he
wired at once in reply: Report at
once or give reasons.
Within an hour the following
message came over the wires from
a hospital in Sioux City: Train
of-can't ride; legs of-can't
walk. Will not report unless you
insist. -

Worked 1t Too Hard.

An old lady once asked in a
diapers shop to be shown some
silk, says an exchange. A young
clerk showed her some, saying:
We can do this for you at IS Cd
a yard The old lady asked for
something better, but the clerk
replied that they had nothing bet
ter. Where-upon the master came
forward and said:
You must excuse my assistant,
madam, he is new to the business.
Here, madam, is a very superior
article, los Cd a yard. If it were
not the fact that l bought it some
time ago we should have to charge
is, for, as you are doubtless
aware, owing to the recent epidemic
among silkworms, the price of silk
has increased enormously OF late.
The customer took the silk.
A few days later the same old
lady came in and asked for some
tape The clerk said glibly: Here
IS some we can let you have at Sd
the dozen yards. If it wasn't for
the fact that we have had it in
stock some time we should have to
charge Is, for as you are doubt
less aware, owing to the recent
epidemic among the tapeworms,
the price of tape has gone up
enormously " 1t was then she hit
him with her umbrella.

Race Suicide.

Washington, August IT That there has been persistent decline of the birth rate in the United States since 1S60,' is the conclusion reached in a bulletin issued yesterday by the census bureau. The bulletin was pre- pared by Professor Walter F. Wilcox of Cornell University, and it is ex- plained that although the analysis made offers many suggestions as to probable tendencies in the birth rate of the United States, it is primarily not study on birth rates. but a study in the proportion of children to the total population or to the num- Der of women of child bearing age"
 The result oi the study shows that at the beginning of the nineteenth century the children under 20 years of age constituted one-third and at the end less than onefourth of the total population. The decrease In this pro portion began as early as the decade 1910 to 1920. and continued uninter- ruptedly, though at varying rates. dur ing each successive decade.

Large Estate Settled.

New York. August 1.-The great Benjamin Drake estate fight has been settled and the property will be divid ed at once. It was valued 10 years ago at 0.000. and has been the subject of much litigation.
 Dr. Austin Drake of Springfield. H., is now on the way to this city. and it is understood will receive g.. .000, 900 as his share of the estate.
 The estate was left to two sons by their father, a groceryman for many years in this city. Both sons died in testate. and the estate reverted to a long list of collateral heirs, living mainly in the west. It is stated that all the litigants have now managed to agree, and the matter was settled out of court

MAY BE NO SPECYL SESSION
President Roosevelt Has Not Decid-
 ed the Question Definitely.
strong Pressure jS Being Brought to Bear tO Induce the Presi-
 dent to Cut It Out.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. H.-Not- ~lihstanding the more or less definite announcement which has emal-.ta a1 from various sources during the ,asi lew I!onths, congress may to. bG called into extraordinary session nexi N9ft Dlber. Indeed, the indications lre now that no extraordinary session will ho held this year
 Th,s statement is made on the au- thority of President Roosevelt hirns elf. He has not decided the question deti- nitely yet, and probably will not reach decision of it until he shall have re- turned to Washington the latter part of September. The chances of an ex- traotdlEary session appear, however, to be facing.
 Strong pressure is being brought to bear upon the president to induce him not to call an extra session. So much interest has been manifested in the sub ject throughout the country that the president has received large number of letters regarding it. Many senators and representatives have urged against an extra session. They point out that practically nothing will be gained by an extra session that will begin not more than three weeks before the open ing of the regular long session, and that it will cause some inconvenience to many members of congress in both branches. Taking these things into con sideration, the president has reserved a definite decision of the matter.
