old. He succeeded to the throne eleven
years ago. He was educated by English tu-
tors and as the crown prince made Eu-
ropean tour. Then he was feted and made
much of and formed the opinion that money
could command much better time in Eu-
rope than in Asia. Soon after he had been
proclaimed sultan he came to England to
take his initial fling. He was ambitious to
get into society with a capital IS" and
was willing to spend money lavishly for
that purpose But he soon discovered to

wealth and rank. society took a very Diff

England has often been called a paradise
for colored folk. At restaurants and places
of public entertainment they are treated
just the same as white people They can
get whatever they can pay for. They meet
everyday sort Of people on terms of social
equality. They may even give themselves
airs if they please. I have heard an ebony
hued negro holding forth In Hyde Park on
the superiority of the black race over the
white without mourning the slightest risk
of getting his head broken. But in the up
per circles there is no such spirit of tolera-
ton. Prejudice against what is termed the
tar brush in these exalted spheres is deep
and strong. Hindoos and Malays of what
ever caste or shade of color are regarded
as "nggers."
A good proof of this was furnished by the
ball which the Sultan of Johore gave to
mark his debut into London society. He
issued invitations to every one Of impor-
lance from the king and queen downward.
He meant it to be the greatest social fes-
tivity of the year. There were less than a
hundred acceptances. These came mostly
from diplomatic people, who could not very
well refuse, but the king and queen and
the Prince and Princess of Wales as we'll
other ROYALTIES found fhav
very important engagements elsewhere. So
did society. Enraged at this state of af-
fairs, his hlghness went forth and consulted
his acquaintance in musical comedy circles
and the variety stage and gave them carte
blanche to bring all their friends and their
friends friends
And they came in their hundreds. Moth
ing like 1t was ever before seen In London.
