White Rhinoceros for Which $1o,ooo
 Will Be Paid.

From the New York Evening Sun.
 According to a message received at the Barnum X Bailey offices yesterday, Manager James A. Baileys offer, made several months ago. of $1O0OO for a spe- cimen of the kobaoba, or long horned white rhinoceros, has finally led to the capture of one of these curious and rare wild beasts. The message came from Lourenco Marques, Delagoa Bay, Por- tuguese East Africa, via London. and simply stated that the animal had been captured by a party of white hunters and Kaffirs in the vicinity of the Linn popo river. and that 1t would be shipped from Lourenco Marques immediately on it's arrival from the interior. As the cable came from a representative of the show who is to lead one of the wild beast hunting expeditions of the big American circus managers into the wilds of Central Africa, his judgment will he accepted and the money cabled.
 So far as known there has never been a specimen of the kobaoba exhibited in the United States. and not single speci- men is owned by the geological gardens of Europe In this country there is one specimen of the muchnco, which Is called
 white" by the natives. but it is only white bv comparison with the darker species When thoroughly cleaned and rubbed down the kohn oba is said to be almost pure white. These animals are held in great awe bv the natives, and efforts to capture them have seldom been successful As result they have been ruthlesslv shot down by snortsmen and the species is rapidly nearinG extinction. Last season Barnum X Bailey were suc- eessful in securing specimen Of the hlacl, rhinaceros and it Is expected that the knha oba will also nrove valuable aeauisition to the shows menagerie. It will take from six to eight weeks tn shin n from Delagoa Bay to the United

TO MRS. MARY WARE.

By Mrs. R. H. Kerr Scant homage is my gift of verse To thee whose skillful fingers trace Gpon the Tyre of poesy, Strains that beguile the child at play, With winning charm that bids 1t Lift its sunny face To catch the rapture of thy words Singing a tale of golden days, Of butterflies, of crooning brooks; Of shells and flowers and sheltered hooks, or leafy shade, where bending trees Sway in every perfumed breeze, And cradle nestlings resting there, As mothers arms, that shield from fear. And maiden's eyes with brightening light Follow thy cadences to learn of life, And finds thy symphonies arc but her
 dreams That woo to whisper earth is ever bright. The youth. when hardening to thy songs Pauses, with reverent brow. to grasp their
 story,
 And from his free, unsulIied years Pledges his life shall claim their glory. Or strains of hopes and joy and love Thou wakest at thy will To lift Our sordid earth-boupd hearts above To realms of blest reality where hopes Reach fond fulhllment; joys endure; And love finds bliss ineffabe. To thee, then would I pour My hearts best offering For mercy kind, and sympathy Have touched thy hands That lend their strength to guide and
 bless;
 And on thy lips, loves fadeless fair inn
 press
 Hath left it's lasting tracery That thou mayst voice the power within To child, to maiden youth and age, And chant those cords whose echoes Sound response in every heart, And prove the listening vibrant world akin

Dress Allowance of Royal Daughters

From the Tatler.
 People sometimes wonder what sum is put aside for dress by the daughters of royal houses.
 Before her marriage, l read the other day. the Duchess of Fife was said to have Il small dress allowance. and the sum of s1 50O a year was mentioned. Besides yachting and everyday dresses, and all the usual costumes required by a girl of the upper class, royal princesses have all so to wear the costly and elaborate dres- ses which their rank demands at the wed tings of their near relations.
 On the whole, it may be asserted that a frugal princess may spend as little as s5 900 a year. while her more wealthy and extravagant sister may find her dress bills amount to ten times that sum.
 The Empress of Russia, who more than any other European lady is able to in- dulge her widest fancies. dresses with the greatest simplicity-in the daytime most ly in tailor made coats and skirts. in the evening generally in the purest white.
