ALFoNso's SHOPPING.
A Paris Millinery Store Startled by a
Visit From the Spanish King.

Paris Correspondence of London Telegraph.
An amusing anecdote Is related today in
connection with King Alfonsos recent visit
to Paris. The young monarch was staying
at the Hotel Bristol hard by the Rue de
la Paix, and in his leisure moments he was
fond of taking turn in that street, which
Is noted for its elegant shops, and making
a few purchases. His majesty's appearance
naturally created a good deal of futter es-

who rushed to doors and windows to see
him go by, SO when three gentlemen stepped
into a certain establishment one morning
and the most youthful of the party asked
to see come hats they were politely re-
quested as the most natural thing in the
world, to wait moment. as the king was
in the street. and the girls were all watch
ing for him. The knowing smiles which
thereupon pervaded the features of the lit
tie party had the effect of promptly putting
the quick-witted shop girls on the scent.
After announcing the great news excitedly
to the proprietor OF the establishment they
clustered in q ring round King Alfonso and
his companions.
This was thousand times better than
peep into the street, and then, what an
honor. Only to think of the Spanish sover-

THE CULEBRA CUT.
It Will Be the Greatest Excavation
Ever Made by Man.

From the Engineering News.
The huge excavation for the Panama
canal across the Culebra divide will be by
far the greatest furrow in the earth's sur
face ever made by human agency. 1t Is so
large that the mind fails TO grasp its real
magnitude. Great amounts of excavation
were done of course on such works as the
North sea canal. the Manchester canal and
the Suez canal; but all these were built
through comparatively level country.
So far as we are able to find, the only
deep cut at all comparable with that TO be
made through the Culebra divide is the
great Noschistongo cut through the hills
which surround the valley of Mexico. This
huge excavation was begun In 1910 for the
purpose of affordng an outlet to the flood
waters which had inundated the City of
Mexico. and destroyed great part of the
city and its inhabitants. For more than a
hundred and forty years LABOR on this great
work was the chief task Of the Mexican ma
ton. and 1t was not until the year 1889
that 1t was finally completed. The total
length of the NochistongQ cut is twelve and
a half miles It's greatest depth Is 1917 feet,
and it's greatest width 331 feet. The total
amount of material excayated was about
81. 600 900 cubic yards In comparison with
this, the cut at Culebra will have con-

DECLARES FOR MR. RAY.
Ex-Gov. Jackson Wants Him for
Speaker of House

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, December 90 1905
The latest development IN the contest for
the speakership of the Maryland house of
delegates Is the announcement late yester-
day afternoon by ex-Gov. Elihu E. Jackson
that Mr.. ]. Enos Ray, jr., of Chilham,
Prince George county, would be perfectly
acceptable to him, and that he proposed to
use whatever influence he possessed among
the democratic members of the house to-
ward securing the place for Mr.. Ray In
addition to this avowed support from the
ex-governor, it is stated upon the best of
authority. that Mr.. Ray will go into the
democratic caucus next Tuesday counting
upon the support Of the friends of ex-Gov-
ernor John Walter Smith The Withdrawal
OF DR.. Richard s. Hill of Prince George
county, formidable candidate for the
speakership, has greatly strengthened the
position of Mr. Ray, he goes into the
contest with the solid backing of the dele
cation from his own county, a condition
that did not prevail so far as DIR. Hill was
concerned
Mr. Ray saw Ex-Governor Jackson yester-
day in a Washington hotel, and later in the
day the Wcomico county leader went to
Baltimore and had a conference with Bal
timore city politicians. In speaking of the
contest for the speakership Mr.. Jackson
said:
This morning Mr.. Ray came to see me
in Washington and impressed me very IA
vorably. l believe he would make good
speaker. and If 1 have any influence In the
house of delegates l will certainly support
him for the place.
The governor denied that there was any
combina ton between either Governor War
field or Ex-Governor Smith and himself, and
declared that he was only interested in see
Ing good men selected to preside over the
two branches of the legislature.
In commenting upon the assertion that
Governor Warfields friends had switched
from DR.. Hill to Mr.. Murphy of Baltimore
county the ex-governor declared that they
would have done much better had they
thrown their support to Mr. Ray. Mr. Ray
was communicated with at his home at
CEilham, Prince George county late last
evening, and stated to The Star correspond
ent that he felt greatly encouraged over
the outlook and believed he would go into
the democratic caucus with more votes
than any other single candidate II am In

and will abide by the decision of the dem
ocratic caucus
AS the contest now stands, 1t is a three
cornered one, Mr.. Ray, Mr.. Murphy of Bal
timore city and Mr. Benson of Baltimore
city being in the race.

PREFERRED TO PAY FINE.
Arthur II. Chase Saves the Life OF
His Dog

For allowing a dog to run at large when
he knew that the animal was dangerous
Arthur Fl. Chase of 1919 10th street north
east was arraigned in the Police Court this
morning. After hearing the testimony of
several witnesses who had observed the
actions of the dog Judge Mullowny fined
the defendant $50, which was paid While
the bulldog was in the court room there
was vacant space around him all the
time.
Mrs. Della F. Wright was the principal
witness for the prosecution. She testified
that she was passing along 10th street
northeast few days ago, with lap dog
in her arms, when this dog jumped up at
the dog she had in her arms. She had a
hard fight TO keep from being attacked her
self, she stated and finally was knocked
over and bruised. Her dog ran away and
was attacked by Mr.. Chases dog. Cor
roborative evidence regarding the charac-
ter of the bulldog was also given.
The defendant was given his choice of
killing the dog or of paying the fine

siderabIy greater maximum depth and
width. even for the project with the eighty
five foot summit level. The total cube of
excavation at the Culebra divide was esti-
mated by John F. Wallace $4,000, 600
cubic yards for the sea-level canal and ILL.,
900, 900 cubic yards for a canal with sixty
foot summit level.
While in mere size of excavation the cut
through the Panama divide is by far the
larger. the fact that the Nochistongo cut
was made with absolutely no aid from
chinery or mechanical power, but wholly
with human muscle, makes out task on the
tsthmus seem like mere child's play in COM
parison with that accomplished by those pa
tient toilers under the torrid sun of Mexico
two centuries ago. When one recalls that
this deep artificial valley more than twelve
miles long was all dug by the labor of In
dams, who excavated the material with the
crudest hand tools and carried Ii in baskets
on their heads to the place of final deposit,
the great cut of Nochistongo is entitled to
rank with the pyramids of Egypt, among
the worlds greatest wonders.

their shop. And what followed delighted
them even more. The mistress of the place
had advanced and, curtesying low. had ut
tered one of those pretty compliments which
our French friends have so glibly at the tip
of their tongues. when his majesty smiling
ly replied: Il wish to see some hats. /
want three: one for my mother in rather
quiet style; one for my sister, and one
for my aunt, and please put them all up
together in the same box" The master
pieces of the shop were presented and in
spected. The selection of the three hats
took some time, as the young king is not
accustomed to that sort of work, and in his
dilemma he exclaimed: well, was never
so puzzled in my life.' Finally the choice
was made, and with the request that the
hats should be sent at once to the hotel,
he was on the point OF quitting Paris. King
Alfonso took his departure, leaving the
mistress of the establishment and her
young women charmed with their expert
ence.

A counts title generally costs about

Ladies'. too, have bought titles for as

everyone has forgotten the way the title
was obtained.

COLLEGE GIRLS CEREMONY
On the Eve Of Graduation They A.
semble and Tell Of Their
Engagements.

An engagement confession Is part of
the commencement festivities at Mount
HOlyOke and Smith colleges Each
senior who has found time amid her
studies and her play during the four
years course to become engaged,
blushingly admits 1t. The Mount Hol-
yoke girls observe this ceremony on
the top of Mount Holyoke, says the
New York Sun. Early in the afternoon
they make the trip to the mountain
top, and then, after jolly supper,
When they become thoroughly sat
urated with the romantic feeling. which
the mountain always causes, the presi
dent says simply:
Engaged girls, step forth and run
around the verandas."
Then there Is chorus of giggles,
protestations, denials, accusations, and
out Of the confusion four or five girls
will emerge and begin to trot around
the verandas. Amid the shouts of
| glee and often of surprise a Shrek
ing damsel will be dragged forth by
her chum in spite Of her imploring.
| But I'm not ready to announce 1t
yet" and Is made to Join the trotting
group.
At Smith the confession takes place
at the class supper. Just before the
toasts the president rises and says:
Here's to the engaged girls. Where
are they?"
| And while everyone takes hasty
gulp Of lemonade with Strawberries
swimming in IL, the afilanced maidens
come reluctantly forward, and with
hands on each others shoulders. begin
a solemn march around the tables
Some are seized with fit of bashful-
ness, and have to be almost pried out
of their chairs by their companions.
II anyone in the class knows of the
engagement Of another girl who has
not declared 1t, she is in duty bound
to tell on her. The chorus Of excla-
nations is significant.
why, Dorothy Billings, you DOM
mean to say-why, you witch!" cries
some one, as a demure girl marches
proudly around, for there are many
surprises in store, and often a mod
est little maiden has quietly engaged
herself when no one dreamed she hat
ever looked at q man.
Ssh! that's all or" one girl muir
murs to another who Is trying to maxi
her join the marching throng. "Yes
troke 1t of last week; now keel
stifl."
But I'm not engaged. know yo'
thought was, but haven't induces
Jack to propose yet" protests an
other.
After the solemn march. the presi
dent says: .
Nov, all the girls who would lik
to be engaged march around"
And the entire class gets up an
frankly and unblushingly marche
around.
