The Baby CZAREVITCH, Heir to the
Shaky Throne of the Russias.
For the First Time Gar S
Heir Gets a Glimpse
Outside PeterhOf.

ST. PETERSBURG. Aug 1.-THE
baby Czareyitch was for the FIRST time
In his life taken on sea trip. The Car,
Czarlna, and the infant heir, accom-
panied by his nurse, put of from Peter
hot landing stage IN "a steam launch,
circIed round the guardsh-p Rabotnik.
which lies some two miles of shore,
and returned I'm a heavy shower.
The heir % the throne, who viii be
two years old in a few days, is now
hardly ever seen outside Peterhof Pal
ace grounds, and even inside the
grounds he is always accompanied by
his Cossack veteran guard.
The fear that the revolutionists viii
make some attempt against the last
hope Of the dynasty" has been Of late
intense. Formerly visitors 20 Peterhof
were allowed 10 row boats within a
few yards Of the palace front. At pres
ent it is forbidden 70 approach within
two miles.
Despite Trepoffs vigilance. unpleasant
incidents occur, Last week an officer
in uniform drove W TO the gates Of
the palace park and was admitted by
the sentries. He descended from his
cab, walked up an alley and tried 10

Grand Duchesses, who promptly ran
away. The incident caused the usual

CHRISTIANIA, Aug. u.-An amusing
story Of little Prince Olafs donkey and

Norway
King Edward, who. of course, is the
crown princes grandpa, sent him a
present OF a donkey. and entrusted
Neddy 20 the care Of the captain OF the
steamer MOntebello.
When the MOntebellO was approach
ing AIontebello the captain signaled to
the lighthouse keeper at the entrance
20 the ford, "Au right" There was
no reply. so he signaled again, Don
key all right"
No answering signal being given, the
captain reported the lighthouse keep
er's neglect to the maritime authOri-
ties. The following official explanation
was forthcoming:
AT the moment the MOntebellO pass
ed the lighthouse the signalman on
duty was called TO the telephone, and
consequently could not reply immedi-
ately. When, after having finished the
conversation at the telephone. he saw
the second signal flying. Donkey all
right he took it as a personal insult
and did not think It necessary to re-
port it"
But Prince Olaf got his donkey and
now rides il with much delight.

DUKE WAS FRIENDLY
TO A LABOR MEMBER
Cut by Fashionable Crowd, the Ia
bOOed Guest Was Made Guest
of LOrdship.

LONDON, Aug. u.-By fraternizing
with a labor member Of parliament at a
swell function the Duke Of Norfolk ad-
ministered a telling reproof to a snob-
bish crowd who ignored the plebeian
legislator.
It was at a reception given by a fash
iOnable art society, at which VIII
Crooks. member of parliament for Wool
wich, turned up in his house of commons
suit instead Of the regulation evening
dress.
Getting past the dOorkeeper with dif-
nculty, Mr.. Crooks was received with
naughty stares by the crowd Of smart"
people. Although Mr.. Crooks must have
been known to many, he was unani-
mously cut dead. His appearance with
out the customary boiled shirt was
resented.
While the labor leader was wandering
lones0mely about looking at the pic
lures, and Drawing it out, the Duke Of
Norfolk arrived. HIS grace soon
spotted Mr. Crooks. and saw how he
was being treated. Coming up 20 where
the lonely member for Woolwich was
standing, the duke greeted him heartily,
and said. "Mr. Crooks, have you found
your way to the supper room? Come
AMI let us have q cup Of coffee together"
SO the premier duke OF Great Britain
and the ex-cooper, who was born in a
workhouse, spent the rest OF the even
ing together. Mr.. Crooks told the story
the other night on the terrace Of the
house of commns.

GREEN HAT IN TYROL
AND KILT IN BALMORAL
King Edward Chooses Blue Serge for
General Use as Holiday
Wear.

LONDON. Aug. 1.-THE Kings tailors
have been attending at Buckingham Pal
ace with patterns for his majestys hOli-
day suits. After choosing the cloth and
giving orders for the cut of his clothes,
King Edward is troubled no further
about his suits. which are fitted to Il
dummy of his exact proportions. which
dummy his tailors keep at their work
rooms.
A deep blue. rather coarse serge is his
majestys favorite cloth for holiday
wear. But whenever possible he adopts
the characteristic dress Of the country
where he IS spending his holiday. At
Marienbad ne wears the picturesque
green Tyrolese hat, and at BalmOraI the
kilt. which, by the way. he has no Iik-
ing for.
Although he always keeps up with the
prevailing modes and often sets The
fashion himself. the King never adopts
a new fashion unless he finds it suits
him. He has never worn the frock over
coat. so fashionable last winter. but
which only suits men Of good statue and
youthful figure.
