KINGS GET
GOLD BRICKED
EDWARD AND HIS FRIENDS LOSE
MILLIONS BY THE TIBERIAN
GOLD NINE SWINDLE.

London, Feb 25.--The kings set
are going to holiday at Biarritz with
heavy hearts. They have all been
plucked clean by the Tiberian gold
mine swindle. They were to have
made their fortunes, but the pro-
moters working the bell operations
left them in the lurch.
Lord Knollys was inveigled into
accepting the dictatorship, and he
felt in honor bound to stick to his
shares in the falling market. He
has lost heavily. Indeed, not being
la rich man, he must be almost
broke"
Sir Ernest Cassel, who was doing
the deal from which King Edward
was to be the largest beneficiary,
dropped $2,5OO,O0O.
Lord Farquhar, head Of the bank
ing house of Harris & Farquhar,
Ike Cassel a keen and experienced
financier, was also severely hit, as
was also Mrs. George Keppel, who
has become big speculator.
Consuelo, Dowager Duchess OF
Manchester, dropped many thous-
ands. The Duke of Marlborough, in
addition to his other troubles is said
also 20 be considerably involved.
The mines whose S5 shares were
run up to SIS are said to have ac-
tually no existence except in pros
pectors' and promoters promises.

PHOTO BY WIRE
rs SUCCESSFUL
FALLIEREs PICTURE
Is SENT TO LYONS AND
BACK.

Paris, Feb. 25.--In full view OF
a number OF experts e photograph
OF President Fallieres was dispatch
ed from here to Lyons and soack-
a distance OF GO miles ~--shv other
day by telephotography.
The occasion was a lecture given
by Prof. Korn. OF Munich, the inven-
tor of telephotography, or the meth
cd of sending photographs by wire.
This method, which will undoubtedly
gain the professor the undying ha-
tired of the criminal fraternity, is
destined to revolutionize illustrated
journalism.
In the course OF his remarks the
professor said that the method OF
transmitting photographs by teleg-
raphy was as yet in It's infancy, but
still, in spite OF this, 1t had now
reached a practical stage and he did
not see why 1t should not be adopted
by enterprising newspapers.
He went on to say that the dis
tance which the picture OF President
Fallieres had just Travelled did not
represent anything like the limit OF
his invention. An extra few hundred
miles would make no difference at
all, and he confidently expected to
see the time when the old world
would be able to keep in even closer
touch with the new, when pictures
sent from America would reach here
as quickly as a message by wireless
lelegraphy.

THE OLD TOWN TAKING ON
NEW LIFE WITH PRoMIs-
ING OUTLOOK.

We clip the following interesting
items from the Princeton Star-Jour-
nal They point strongly to the be-
lief that the county seat will at some
future day equal in size and business
Importance any city in the southern
section of the state. A possible draw
back to It's rapid growth however.
Is the assertion frequently heard,
here in Blue6eld that real estate
values in and around the town have
been hoisted to a point that has
much the same effect upon the small
investor as the yellow flag has upon
the individual who has a horror OF
the small pox. However this may
be, 1t can be seen from the appended
articles that quite a number of sub
stantial concerns are pinning their
faith to the future business possibili-
ties of Greater Princeton"
The Deepwater Railway will soon
commence work on the overhead
bridge in the East End This will
be the longest overhead bridge in
this end of the state, being about a
quarter of mile long, spanning the
yards and the creek. 1t will com
mence just north OF Mercer street
and several feet west of the right
Of way and extend to the Athens
road north OF the Davis Thorn orch-
ard. Application VIII be made al
the March county court to change
the Athens road to conform with this
location

SEEMS To RE CREATING SYM
PATHY FOR HERSELF AND
THAW.

New York, Feb. 26.-There are
no new or startling developments in
the Thaw trial
The oss-questioning OF EVELYN
Thaw In some of its features was not
unlike n fox hunt. Quick wary. with
n perfect genius for the defensive.
the girl witness now doubled back
on her trail, now twisted and turn
ed, now ran straight ahead: but al
ways easily, always safely out of
reach.
Mr.. Jerome in the hot ardor OF
pursuit broke at times into what tho
novelists call "a sardonlc grin" I'M
der the circumstances the "sardonic
grin" was perhaps natural enough;
for tho lawyer OF the people does
not come TO court as the friend OF
defendant and his defenders, but as
their enemy Stlll. MIR. Jeromes
'sardonic grin" might have poor
effect upon the jurors and serve In
It's acidity TO scar and wither the
Thaw prospects. Therefore, Mr.. Del
mas who, as the days wear on,
plays his part better and better-
resented it. He objected with cour-
teous emphasis to the "sardonic
grin" which he spoke OF as sneer.
He added however, that he would
withdraw the objection if Mr.. Je-
rome would say his "sardonlc grin"
was the true mark OF his feelings.
III he were sneering I'm his heart at
the girl witness and the grief he
was causing her, then his face might
follow suit. The point was not
ruled upon, for OF his own motion
Mr. jerome cleared his countenance
of the "sardonic grin" or "sneer,"
reclothing It with an expression of
earnestness. gravely yet inveterateiy
energetic
The witness herself came OF with
honor. IL is difficult TO see where for
a moment Mr.. Jerome held the up-
per hand. Doubtless the witness was
vastly steadied by n stage education,
which not only strengthened her
memory, but taught her GOODNESS In
the presence OF n staring audience.
Also she was upheld by the faces OF
her own counsel and Thaw, for
their looks were confident and in
nowise evincod distress at her tes-
! timony or the manner OF it's dellv-
cry BY the same token there came
no counter-look OF genuine satlsfac-
/, tion into the eyes OF Mr.. Jerome to
disquiet her. In short, as the cross
examination OF Evelyn Thaw pro-
gressed the Thaw lawyers-to quote
a sporting writer then and there
presont-had the air Of winners
while the peoples lawyer did not,
and this lool-condition, reflected
upon the witness, was by her appre-
ciated and construed and greatly
helped her self-possession
During the REORGANIZATION the
jurors faces offered the most CON
vincing study. There was no sugges-
ton Of weariness; every juror seem
ed intent on getting all that came
from the lips OF the witness. The
majority OF the jurors appear to be
men Of emphasized characteristics
There are four, perhaps FIVE, OF un-
pronounced and water-color sort.
The seven or eight strong natures
will control these latter The whole
2, however, gave Evelyn Thaw their
: breathless attention, and the feeling
indicated was one Of sympathy for
her.
