Short on Princesses.

By the birth Of the little son and
heir to Prince and Princess Alexander
Of Teck the number Of unmarried Eng
lIsh princes is now increased to eleven,
and IL to these are added the two sons
OF Prince and Princess Louis Of Bat
tenberg there may be said to be thir-
teen princes for whom wives will have
to he found at some time. 1t Is note
worthy that at the present time Eu-
rope is suffering from a dearth of
young princesses. OF late boy babies
have appeared in all the royal fami-
lies, and even as matters now stand It
Is difficult to see how these little
princes are to be mated in the future.
Such princesses as there are likely to
be seem too old for the small boys who
are coming so quickly on the scene.

SPECIAL CLINICS AT MERCY
HOSPITAL.
Or. D. n. Williams, One of Americas
Greatest Surgeons, Attending.
Or. John A. Kinney, Of
Tuskegee, Present.

The largest clinics ever held in the
history OF Nashville, are being con-
Quoted this week at the Mercy Hos
uital. While there are only two Wis
iting surgeons here at present, there
are possibly fifty very important
cases in the hospital being attended
to. The famous Doctor, Dan. Williams,
whose reputation with the knife is sec
ond to none in the United States. is the
center of attraction. He did not reach
Nashville until Monday, but he came
directly from Chicago and began his
work early Monday morning. The
medical profession in Nashville is
practically a unit in their support,
and the scenes in and about Mercy
Hospital for the past week have been
busy ones. DR.. John A. Kinney, a
man of prominence hailing from the
famous Tuskegee. is here with DR..
Williams. Both of them are busy
from early morning until late in the
evening trying to finish and leave the
best report ever left by visiting sur
geons. This is DR.. Williams seventh
year in succession to give these clinics
in Nashville. Hence his name is a
familiar one in this city. One of the
most important operations performed
successfully this week was the re-
moval of forty-pound tumor, which
of itself is a record-breaker. After
these gentlemen have finished it is ex-
pected that within the next month or
two, Drs. Curtis and Hall will be
here. Thus Nashville is fast COM
ing into prominence as one of the i'm
portant centers in the surgical world.
the attention of the leading
surgeons of the country. There are
cases in the hospital now from all parts
Of the South, brought here by physi-
clans to get the benefit of these skill
ed men in the orofession.-The Globe

On ConeIusions.

1t doesn't pay TO jump at conclu-
sions. Once we had a dog that had n
bad habit OF jumping at conclusions.
When he had no other animals con-
clusion to jump at he would go round
and round in a circle for an hour at q
time trying to reach his own conclu-
sion.
That puppy would wait until a COW
had gone past and then jump wildly at
her conclusion. AS is the custom Of
people similarly afflicted. once he
reached a conclusion he hung to 1t till
he was kicked loose. AS is usual also
with people Of similar proclivities, he
was a dash gummed nuisance.
But one day that hasty pup jumped
at big. thoughtful bay mules conclu-
sion, and the next Day we had to get a
brand new dog. The old one wasn't
even worth repairing.
No; IT doesn't pay to jump at conclu-

How Animals Are Loaded on Board

How Animals Are Loaded on Board
Vessels In Hawaii.
Afterward was taken to Kawaihae.
where / saw cattle loaded in a most
cruel manner. 1t was a little after &
o'clock when / landed on the beach
among a lot OF cowboys and half ma
ked natives. The cattle were cOrralled
under the trees, and when one was
ready to be taken aboard a rope was
tied about its horns. A cowboy on
horseback then rode into the surf,
dragging the frightened steer into the
water. The rope waS tossed to a half
naked native who was swimming, and
he in turn carried 1t to the men wait
ing in a small boat. These men pulled
the animal, which must now swim or
drown, to the boat and tied him by
the horns TO its side. After eight steers
had been tied up In this manner the
engine on the steamer was set TO work
and the boat pulled alongside by means
Of a rope. The cattle were then hoist
ed on board by the use of a bellyband.
The method OF handling these dumb
animals is brutal, and. while the men
seem to use as much care as possible
In moving them about, their piteOus
believing caused by fear made as pa
thetic a scene as / have ever Witness

and IL seems that some more humane
method Of putting them aboard might
be adopted.
The japanese sailor on these ships Is
said to be the best for keeping the ship
clean, while the native excels in ham
ding the boats, especially in rough
water. The Hawaiian is a born swim
mer, and native boys will follow these
vessels for several hundred yards as
they are leaving Honolulu, swimming
alongside and diving for coins thrown
overheard by the travellers. The pas
sage on these boats is always rough,
and on the Ewalani, as the ship lay at
anchor out in the channel. the nights
were intensely warm. Freighting in
this way is necessarily expensive, but
those in authority say that it is the
only way practical, as no wharf could
withstand the lashing Of the waves
caused by the mad fury OF the winds
during the winter. At that season it Is
often impossible to make landings
along the rocky coast OF Molokai.-

THE BEST PHYSICAL CULTURE.
Roller Skating.

Now that the Leland Giants Rase
Ball & Amusement Association have
established an up-to-date Rink, where
our People can enjoy the Physical
exercise of the roller skate without
prescription, it will be an evidence of
mental arrangement on the part OF
those who patronize Kinks where
prescription is INDUCED or tolerated: by
reason of race proclivities the Giants
rink at 5324 State street has all of the
latest equipments together with first
class restaurant in connection, good
music and excellent decorum. There
can be no excuse for those who wish
to skate for not patronizing it and It
is only one of the several Enterprises
of this kind that the Association propo-
ses to establish in this and other cities.
The human race is nothing if not
devoted to pleasure, and our race leads
as it were in the field, making it op-
perfume for the removal of all barriers
to their full and complete enjoyment of
life IL this regard. Heretofore, we
have furnished the patronage for others
who exploited and left us. Now,
through this association, conditions
have changed. We furnish both, the
patronage and the Enterprise. 1t is ours,
all ours, and should be supported; in
fact every man who would like to make
a safe investment and at tn esame time
do a good turn for the race, should
buy stock in the association, for just
as soon as the association is strong
enough It will purchase a frst-class
hotel at 3Ist and State street, where
every want of our exacting public can
be supplied without prescription of any
kind. Don't fail to patronize this in
terprise by a visit to the rink and the
ownership of some of its stock.-'F."
