Prince Rant SmIIe-'tis a name TO Jug
gle with. but it is that OF scion Of
royalty, and as a pun would be malapro-
pos it is enough TO say that his Indian
highness is quartered in the Riggs House.
II is not a pretentiOus room, such as
one with hazy notions of real royalty
might expect. And the prince Is not al
all exclusive or unwilling to be inter
viewed. Not on your Rajput of Mahoor
Nay, he seems even more than pleased
70 greet enusively the representatives OF
those publicity mediums which are sup
posed 20 be particularly odious TO those
who are better than their fellows by
divine right. In fact, the news that the
prince had jourEeyed into the nations
fair Capital was In circulation about the
local newspaper Offices within a short
quite short-time after his highness had
his baggage sent up TO his room in the
hotel yesterday morning.
Education Stamped on Him.
The prince is a short man. dark, as be-
comes a prince of royal Indian blood, and
q pronounced inclination 10 say gentle
phasize its unfamiliarity about the mazes
Of the language Of the King Of England
and Emperor Of India. Yesterday he
was attired in a well-dttiug gray suit,
with gray spats, and a Panama hat that
seemed 10 shrink from the proximity Of
September Is. His raven black hair Is
well matched with his curly beard and
flowing moustachios. Although well edu-
Gated in Hindoo (that IS. the reporter
knows no Hind0Ostauee but the prince
looks as II he We're well educated IN that,
and, according 10 his religion. unable 70
read or write English, he carried with
him newspaper clippings that tell some
thing OF his career, both as a prince
and a cook.
Don't be shocked The prince IS q
prlncely cook, and performs feats in cul-
mary art because eet is my git-I hat
great power-I know not howl like 70
gif the peoples something new"
The prince halls from BelOochistan, IN
Northern India, and his name bears q
striking resemblance TO that Of a prince
who was IN London too late for the cor
onation Of King Edward, by whom the
Riggs House prince says he was dec
grated. and who was said 70 he so ex-
elusive that none but his servants, who
occupied the expensive, twenty-three-room
suite IN the hotel could be seen by the
curious public
The Riggs House prince shows this clip
ping from a London paper, and explains
/ his presence IN Washington by means Of
the last sentence IN the London story,
which SAYS the prince is coming to Amer
lea for a short trip. He came here from
Atlantic City, where he has been all sum
nler. and he said yesterday that he had
stopped at the Chicago Auditorium An
mex.
Would Perform Wonders.
The prince expects 10 get a big public
hotel dining-room, where his OWN per-
sonaI juggler will perform feats like those
exploited years ago In the magazines. and
which no says. are not feats Of hypno-
tIsm. but OF wonderful power, such as
tossing a rope into the air, sending a boy
up the rope, end causing the lad 10 dis
appear, and then later bringing him Back
through q door II is while his own per
sOual juggler does these stunts that the
prince. clad IN white, wearing a sure
enough turban and decorated In an his
/ regalia, serves strange conglomeratons,
/ bearing names that sound Ike war Al
the Balkans or a Kipling barracks story;
and all OF this is as free as medicine
show on the street corner.
Just how the prince expects his phlan-
/ thropy 10 return his expenses he does not
explain; but if you are prince, why
care?
/ For a long time there was IN the Chi
! cago Auditorium annex a man who bore
a striking resemblance to his royal high
| ness. who was termed a special chef,
and he prepared special Indian dishes
with unpronOunceable names. IN such a
chafng dish as that with which the
/ prince Is so familiar and If he did 10 for
! fun, the hotel management did not He
/ has a sample menu card, too, that has
prices all over it-especially opposite the
/ names Of the dishes.
Dancing Girl Coming, Too.
| The prince came all unattended yester-
day. but his suite will be following to-
/ day or tomorrow. Among them Is a
| dancing girl. who does may and dreamy
teTpsichOrean steps to syncopated music,
/ and then there Is also the princes wife.
/ who, although she is a PhiladelphiaE,
must be e princess. Her name Was Miss
/ Rose Schlacter. and she married the
| prince IN Chicago, after an ardent court
/ ship, that began in London and was
waged, on the part Of the prince, with
/ true Oriental zeal She is also in Allan
tic City, where the princes juggler and
/ dancing girl have been entertaining the
/ patrons at the Hotel Windsor, while the
! prince served up piping hot curry and
/ other dishes that are prime favorites
with the epicures In the lands East Of
/ Suez."
