through the regular mOJlOnS OF quad
rille to the accompaniment of the
sQuacking shy-albatross and sight
gooney-minstrels. About once a month
the feathered population get together.
But what of the adventure of Prin-
cess Mary while she has been one of
the royal family? She, too, like her
Industrious but leisure-loving parent,
has studied the peculiar traits of her
winged population. Her choice OF
amusements is very limited, for there
is no 1O-cent showhouse or grand opera
and such luxuries on the isle of the
gooney And there is not much trav-
cling to be done over the four square
miles that form the kingdom of Lay
san. Gathering variegated seashells,
fishing, bathing and running over her
piano are the principal forms of amuse-
ment, and she has come to be so tired
of these few forms that she is in AM
erica to stay awhile. She is a modest
young person, and rather inclined to
be reluctant about telling a story OF
her adventures on the island
1T would not be considered surpris-
ing by me, said the Princess, IF lay
san island would sink into the seas.
We have experienced some wonderful
phenomena on Laysan, and volcanic
disturbances, so the scientists on the
place say, are very frequent Shortly
before the San~Francisco earthquake
clouds of pumicestone dust rolled over
the island and piles of the stuff wash
ed up on the beach surrounding the
island. Father knew that something
like an earthquake had happened, and
quite sure enough a month later we
heard about the San Francisco disas-
ter. Slight earthquakes are felt, but
we have no fear of them.
The highest spot on Laysan is sixty
feet above the sea level. Three palm
trees grace the almost barren area, and
in the center is a small lagoon. 10
swim in the shallow water surrounds
ing the island would be suicide, for
man-eating sharks, swordfsh and
devil-fish abound. Bathing goes or
only once a year"
One hundred miles to the southwest
of the island is situated the isle of Lii
sianciko, another property under the
control of King Schlemmer but he has
only once beheld the territory one hun
dred miles away from his home and
the nearest neighbor That sight be
enjoyed during three days storm,
and he did not care about landing He
was looking for Laysan. Both the
Princess and her brother laugh now at
the story of Laysan's disappearance
and say that the story of the sinking
was probably due to faulty navigation
on the part of the skipper of the
schooner Luka, one of Schlemmers
fleet. The two island children have
not decided as to whether they will
return to their island home or remain
in America and finally persuade their
parents to visit them. Max at least is
going to take in the Pacific Coast be-
fore he returns. Meanwhile mamma
and papa and the babies will enjoy life
on their faraway, desolate island pro-
vince and Father Schlemmer may
find time within the next year to eX-
plore his neighboring possession. He
does not expect to find a gold mine
but he is rich enough to enjoy life in
the States should he so desire

ments on July l6. He Fixed July IL as the

The Coroner learned that there were FIVE
persons at the dinner instead of the four
reported at first. The fifth was a young

KEEP MORELL IN ASYLUM.
Justice Mccall Refuses. LAX Justice Green.
baum, TO Let Him Out.

Justice Mccall in the Supreme Court
dismissed yesterday the writ Of habeas cor
pus sued out by James Wallace Morell. who
is confined as insane in a sanitarium at
Rivercrest This is the second writ Morell
has obtained. the first one having been
dismissed by Justice Greenbaum in Feb
ruary last.
Morell. who made considerable money
in the coal business. declares that he Is
sane and that there il a conspiracy between
his wife and several relatives to keep him
in the sanitarium. Morell's ideas about
doctors are not complimentary.
My experts tell me. MorelI says, that
there are only six decent. respectable.
honest doctors in the country. n that all
the rest are liars, thieves and murderers.'
Morell's wife, Ella c. Morell. lives at 10
West Forty-sixth street. Lawyer Charles
E.. Lydecker appeared for her and the rela-
tives Of Morell and told Justice Mccall
that the only friends that Morell would
associate with or to whose advice he lis
woman, theresa Smith. said to be a client
of Fish. Neither OF these people. said
Mr.. Lydecker. could be supposed to have
the real interests OF Morell At heart. at least
not 30 much as his own wife and relatives.
Physicians whom Fish had employed to
examine Morell had refused to come for
ward and pronounce him In good cOndi ton.
Morell has taken an appeal from Justice
Greenbaum's decision. He intends also TO
appeal from Justice McCal's decision

Newark Tailor Fell for the Old Game-rwO
Wien Nabbed ON Hs Complaint.


That the gentle art Of overlapping is not
entirely lost was made known yesterday
by the arrest Of two men on the complaint
of Fiorandino Bergamo. a tailor Of 50 Market
street, Newark, who said he lost 5000
by their operations
The two men arrested gave the names
Of Frank Marshall. a bartender, Of 24i West
Sixty-sixth street. and John White, a o
tractor, who refused TO give any address.
The police say that both prisoners are old
timers and nave their pictures in the rogues'
gallery, but White said that his arrest
was a case Of mistaken identity.
The same old methods were used. Accord
ing to Bergamo's story he met Marshall
on the train several times n they struck
up "A friendship. Marshall told Bergamo
that he knew the chief operator Of the
Western Union and that they could make
a fortune by beating the poolrooms. ber.
gamo was introduced to White. who posed
AS the Western Unions chief operator.
The introduction was made in a house fitted
up for the purpose, which Bergamo says
was on Lexington avenue somewhere near
Fortieth street. The meeting took place
about April |.
Bergamo was induced to try a bet of
500 and won, He then returned TO Newark
to raise more money and about two weeks
later was brought to the same house again.
h time he lost 5000. He was told that
something must nave gone wrong with the
system and was induced to try his luck
again n week later. This time he won
81 900.
About the middle Of June Bergamo came
on again with the remainder of the Sl8 900.
which yer in a lump. After that the two
men disappeared.
Bergsmo told the story to Inspector
McCafferty and the arrest Of the two men
followed Bergamo came to Police Head
quarters and positively identified the men
as the two who had robbed him. They
will be arraigned to-day in the .Tombs
police court.
