A QUEER MANIA.
oicilian Prince Who Ruined Himself
Buying Absurd Statuary.

Buying Absurd Statuary.
The Sicilian Prince Of Valguanera at
the beginning of the last century was
a monOmaniac Of a rare description.
He succeeded to one of the largest for
tunes in Europe, his habits were Studi-
Gus and economical, he had no chill
dren, but in spite of these advantages
for saving money he contrived to ruin
himself The prince had a fancy for
grotesque statues, with which he adorn-
ed the stately mansion of his forefa-
theirs. Many descriptions of the place
are eXtant, for it was renowned
throughout Europe in it's day. Bry-
done visited it, and he has left us a
pleasant picture. Approaching by a
noble avenue, one found the palace
encircled by an army of monsters.
1.-The absurdity of the wretched i'm
agination which created them is not
less astonishing than its wonderful
fertility" says Brydone. Some were
a compound of five or six animals
which have no resemblance in nature.
In one instance the head of lion was
set upon the neck Of goose, with the
body of a lizard, the eyes of a goat
and the tail Of fox. Upon the back
of this object stood another with five
or six heads and a grove of horns.
There is no kind of horn in the world
that he has not collected, and his pleas
ure is to see them all flourishing on the
same skull"
OF such horrors there were 600 in
the avenue and courtyard alone when
Brydone saw the collection, and the
prince maintained regiment of sculp-
tors who were rewarded proportion
ately to their success in designing new
and unparalleled combinations. The
effect upon superstitious peasantry
may be imagined. SO serious was the
agitation that the government of Sicily
threatened to demolish the wonderful
array several times, but prince of
Valguanera was not to be offended in
those days without the gravest cause
Matrons Of Palermo would not take
their drives in that direction, fearing
dire results. The inside Of the house
was eccentric in another fashion.
Here the mailman diverted himself
with columns and arches and pyramids
of cups and saucers, teapots and the
like cemented together. One column
for instance. started from a great por
celain vase of shape familiar in bed
rooms, but not elsewhere. The shaft
was teapots. with the spouts protrud
ing, graduated in size up to a capita
of flowerpots. The openings of win
dows We're incruSted in this manner
the chimney pieces were loaded up tC
the ceiling. and the magnificent rooms
of the palace were divided by fantas
tic arches of the same construction
China was rare and fine in Sicily a
that day. and most Of the pieces thus
treated had great value. The princes
bedroom was a chamber of supreme
horrors. Reptiles awful beyond con
ception had their home there, inter
| mixed with pleasing busts and statue:
which, if turned, showed a skeleton OF
hideous representation of decrepi
/ tude. We have never observed an al
fusion to these things in a modern
| work of travel. Perhaps the govern
ment destroyed them at the prince!

Charles A. Towne. once Senator
from Minnesota. now Tammany rep
resentative in Congress, would will
lingly impersonate the tail to the
Bryan kite in 1908, If the party so de-
clares. Bryan also is said to have a
hankering for Towne. not so much
because of his greatness as because
of the fact that he holds the key to
the Tammany organization and would
lend a certain kind OF prestige to the
ticket that would help some" at
least. Mr.. Towne is on the drivers
seat of the Bryan wagon and has just
given utterance to his opinion of the
political conditions in the west as he
has viewed them on his recent trip.
If Mr.. Towne found a solitary person
from coast to coast who is for any
body other than Bryan, he has not
said So Its a cinch according to Mr..
Towne, therefore his willingness to
be considered available timber for
vicepresident.

Richmond seems 20 be going base
ball mad. With a city league Of six
teams and with half dozen other
amateur teams in the field. the real
American game is rapidly coming in
to its own in Richmond. And after all
has been said about sports and in
general, their healthfulness and their
moral side. baseball easily is entitled
to first place. 1t is noteworthy fact
that in Richmond the crowds that
witness baseball games are of the
most orderly sort. 1t is possible and
even probable that Richmond could
support a baseball team in a minor
league and certain it is that it would
come nearer to maintaining such an
organization than several other Indi
ana cities that boast of league teams.

MONDAY MORNING. JULY 9, 1906.

Because the new German Prince
was born on the Fourth of July the
royal household of Germany thinks
that an American name would be APP
propriate. According 10 some foreign
worthy who has grown eloquent of
late, Bryan and Roosevelt are the
two greatest living Americans. If left
to the Kaiser to choose between the
two names which his grandson should
bear, there might be n question, but
If America were naming the new
prince-well, it wouldn't be William

A Wife's Method Of
Asking For Protection

THE other evening as a muscular
person was passing a house a
lady who stood at the gate call
ed out to him:
'Sir, appeal to you for protectionv'
whats the matter?" he asked, as he
stopped short.
There's q man in the house, and he
wouldn't go out of doors when l or.
dered him to-"
HE wouldn't, Ell? Wen see about
that" Thereupon the man gave the
woman his coat to hold and rushed into
the house. He found a man at the sup.
per table and took him by the neck and
remarked: Nice style of a gentleman
you are, eh? Come out O this or I'll
break every bone in your body"
The man fought, and 1t was not until
a chair had been broken and the table
upset that he was hauled out by the
legs and given fling through the
gates.
Now, then, you brass faced old
tramp, you move on or I'll finish you"
Tramp! Tramp" shouted the vic
tim, as he got up. I'm no tramp! l
own this property and live in this
house"
"You do?"
Eyes. and that's my wife holding
your coat"
''Thunder"' whispered the muscular
man, as he gazed from one to the other
and realized that it was the wifes
method of finishing a row she had been
having with her husband. And then be
made grab for his coat and disap-
peared into the darkness

TOILETTE IDEA
MAY BE,DEMANDED
Present Rate Bill Will Not Satisfy
Country, Senator Cullom
Declares.
IWasT
iR#gEt
BY w. w, Jermane.

Washington, May Ex-senator Cul-
lom, who is an authority on rate ques-
lions, gives it as his opinion that the
country will not for many years be sat
isfed with the new rate law, but will
insist ultimately on the proposition
advanced so forcefully in the senate by
Mr.. La Toilette of Wisconsin, in favor
Of an appraisal of railroad values, this
appraisal to be the standard by which
the interstate commerce commission is
to determine what is a just and reason
able rate. It may be said in this con-
nection that the La Toilette proposition
is the only one advanced during the
long senate debate to which no consti-
tutional objection has been made.
Should the supreme. court decide
against the new law, either on account
Of the Allison amendment or the words
according to- Mr.. Gullom, that the coun.
try will turn to the La Toilette idea.
This idea looks to squeezing the
water. out Of all railroad stock, the
appraisal to be ON the basis of what
the roads cost and the sum it would
require to replace them. The making of
this sort of an issue would put Mr..
La Toilette very much in the lime
light.

!. SOUGHT BY RUSSIA
Every Effort Being Made to Cap
ture American Consul's
Slayer.

Washington, May 22.-Russian ofi-
Gals are making every possible effort to
capture the murderer of w. H. Stuart,

Russia. according to dispatches received
by the state department. today from
Ambassador Meyer. Mr.. Meyer says
the reasons for the attack on Mr.. Stuart
are still unknown. ... :s.<-S -~
Nj. Stuart, having dined at the house
of a friend, was returning to. his coun-
try place at Manztadjani, five miles
from Batoum. He was fred on twice
from a clump Of trees half a mile from
his home, one bullet piercing a leg and
another his breast.
Mr.. Stearne, the British vice consul at
Novo Rossiisk, who was a guest at Mr..
Stuart IS house, hearing the shooting
hurried out with the servants and found
Mr.. Stuart. He was still conscious, but
said he would not be, able to recog-
nize his assassin owing to the darkness.
Mr.. Stuart expired two hours later.
Aside from the troubles during the
revolutionary disturbances last fall, Mr..
Stuart had had no friction with the ma
tive population. He was so generally
respected that he was on several occa-
tions called upon to act as intermediary
during the racial war between the Tar
tars and the Armenians, saving the
lives of several Of the latter.
