and Is located on the western side Of
the Para. II occupies the site OF the
TaIace OF Montezuma ia which this
unfortunate Prince was taken by Cor
aez in 1910. This pawn shop was en-
lowed by Mexican millionaire in
l774 and 1t was moved to its present
building IN 1886. The shop is chart
table institution established for the
purpose Of enabling the poor Of the
capital to obtain loans on pledges for
a nominal rate Of interest. AT first no
interest was charged on loans, but
this was found impractieable, so a
nominal rate was put into fleet. As
a result there was a material gain
10 the poorer classes. The usuriOus
rates of interest charged by private
pawnbrokers was entirely broken up.
1t n said to be a very desirable place
in which to pick up bargains in brio

TREASURE SHIP ARR|vES|

New York. Nov. with the ar
rival of the various treasure ships, it
would be well to consider the case of
the Tudor Prince, British steamship
that has come into port with one Of
| the most valuable Oriental cargoes
brought here in years. Officers OF the
vessel compute the cargo to be worth
nearly $2,000,000, or somewhat more
than the famous Lima treasure" cap.
tured by Drake in E'izabethan days.
lit is varied as well as valuable
freight.
The Tudor Prince made many stops
In the far East while collecting her
freight. Her sailing port was Yoke
homa, and thereafter she touched at
Kobe, Shanghai, Keeling. in the
island OF Formosa: Hongkong, Singa-
pore, and Penang. At the two last
named ports she took on board many
hundred ingots of tin, which forms
one Of the principal items of the
cargo. There are about 400 ingots
Of tin in the cargo. and this Is figured
to be worth about $4,000 The in4
gots are said to be worth about 1872
apiece.
There was costly consignment OF
bristIe and human hair taken aboard
at Hongkong. The officers spoke
rather grimly of the death of many
Manchurian bandits when the subject
of human hair was brought up. There
are GOO cases of bristles in the cargo,
worth approximately $150,000. In
Yokohoma copper ingots went through
| the matches to the value of 100000.
Curios--fragile and delicate Japanese
lpieces-were taken aboard at the
same port and also at Kobe. The
most voIuminious portion of the cargo
is the tea, coo tons of 1t that was
gathered up at Hongkong. Keeling and
Shanghai. Other items were spices,
hard rubber. rattans, firecrackers, es
sential oils, rice, and tapioca
odors of Far East.
The spices, nutmegs, and pepper
came from Singapore, and the pepper
alone is said to be worth $40, 900. The
oil of sandalwood and camphor help
to make the vicinity of the ship fra
grant. Spicy smells added TO the per-
fume of sandalwood and the more
pungent odor of mattings combine to
produce an atmosphere redolent OF the
East The tea. of course, being per-
ishable is taken from the pier almost
Immediately. The value of the teas
amount to almost third of the value
of the entire consignment
There was not a very strong wind
at the time. but what there was came
from the African shore Along in the
afternoon of September % the vessel
was found to be covered with a fine
red dust, and very soon she was
steaming through unprecedented
haze This thickened until speed had
to be reduced. but on the following
day the atmosphere cleared. All parts
of the vessel were thick in crimson
dust, however, and the crew worked
many hours in cleaning the decks and
superstructure. The Tudor Prince
was about $50 miles off the African
shore when the dust storm was en-
countered,
Mr.. Edwards declared that in pro.
ducing this phenomenon the Red Sea
had lived up to its name.

The Library of an Emperor.

In 1903 Napoleon formed the
idea of having a travelling library
in order to make his hours Of intel
lectual recreation Independent of
the exigencies of a campaign or the
delays of a courier. The proposed
library was to form about a thou
sand volumes. The books were to
be Of small duodecimo size, printed
in good type and without margins
in order to save space. They were
to be bound in morocco, with fex-
ible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were to
be covered with leather and lined
with green velvet and were to av-
erage sixty volumes apiece in two
rows like, the shelves in a library.
A catalogue was to accompany them
SO arranged that the emperor could
readily find any desired volume
The distribution of subjects was as
follows: Forty volumes on religion,
forty of epic poetry, forty of the
drama, sixty volumes Of other po-
etry, sixty volumes Of history and
a hundred novels. ''In order to
complete the QUOTA" ran the in
structions, 'sthe balance shall be
made up of historical memoirs. >

THE H0R0V0D.
Peculiar Type Of Song Universal Al
Over Russia.

Peculiar Type Of Song Universal An
Over Russia,
One peculiar type Of song, the
horovod, is universal all over Rus
STA. Horovod means leader of a
chorus. Every Russian villager, man
or woman, knows horovod. It al
ways begins with the chief melody
sung by one voice OF by number
of voices in unison.
The secondary parts are a free
imitation of it, and once the chief
melody has been given out every
member of the company develops it
according to his taste. The two
sexes never mix and sing with each
other. There are always male and
female horovodi. Some of these
folk songs are collected from phono-
grams by Eugenia Linef in ssThe
Peasant Songs Of Great Russia"
The broad, slow flowing rivers of
Russia seem to exercise a strong
fascination upon the peasants i'm
agination. On the banks of The
Volga groups of men and women
may often be seen in summer DRAG
ging out timber which has foated
down, and as they tug at their bar
den they sing.
The gist Of most Of their river
songs is that if you are born to la
Dor you must toll on, F'Toil on, toll
on bravely, one, two, three, and yet
once more, and the task is done"
Many songs belong to the Volga dis
trict, and one is dedicated to Moth
er Volga" herself. The Russian
peasant also believes his rivers to
be inhabited by mysterious beings.
Chief among these IS the Roussalka,
a harmful kind of naiad. The voices
of the Roussalki are heard in the
rustling of the grass by the waters
edge, and the splash Of the running
stream betrays their dancing feet.
Women and young girls washing
their clothes or bathing are liable
to be spirited away by these Rous-
sall1i unless they be careful to hum
some potent charm as long as they
remain in or near the water.

FRATERNAL NOTES.

The annual session of the I. o. o. F. will convene at Harmonic hall this morning. Last night at Music hall there was gathered together one of the largest meetings of the order ever held in this city. The grand officers were present and also many of the visiting members from various parts of the state. The union degree team from the various lodges in the city gave an excellent example of how the work should be carried out. It was accom- plished in a precise and effective man- ner and was highly spoken of and praised by the grand and other officers of the order.
 When the convention is called to or der this morning by Grand Master Philip Pond it is expected that fully 800 delegates will be present and that at least 100 new ones will present their credentials. The business of the lodge will be proceeded with in the regular manner. and it was stated last night that everything would pass off harmo- niously. No strife is apparent among the officers, and it is expected that the election will result in the usuad ad- vancement of the present officers, It is expected the session will close this afternoon.
