Sees End of All Thrones.


So the last of the Sobieskis is Gil
hansen.
After this long and exciting career
of adventure, Col. Sobieski is a calm.
handsome, gentle old mantle soul
of courtesy. Aside from his bitter
ness against monarchies whose tyran-
MES have brought him such misery,
ne has other reasons for not caring
anything about the right to the empty
throne to Poland.
Before you are a middle-aged man" "
he said to the writer, every throne in
Europe VIII be swept away in vast
bloodless revolution"
Siemiradski claims that there Is not
a mention in history of any Sobiesh
in recent times. He wants to know
why no Sobieskl came forward as a
candidate for king at the election of
King Stanislaus Augustus Ponia-
towski in 1854 II the family still ex-
listed. He denies the execution OF
Sobiesld's father, saying that history
has no mention of 1t, and points out
that 1t would have made the nation
thrill.
He makes a great point of the fact
that the Almanach de Gotha makes no
mention of any living descendants Of
John III.

Witnessed Stirring Scenes.


When the war was getting ready to
break, young Sobieski's battery was
ordered recruited to It's full strength
and the young Pole was ordered to
New York and Washington on recruit
ing duty. witnessing the Inauguration
of Lincoln, the closing debates In the
senate and many other stirring
scenes.
He went all through the civil war
and was terribly wounded the first
day of the battle of Gettysburg. It
was his privilege to be an eyewitness
to the most dramatic battle in naval
history, the first fight of the ironclads,
the fight between the Merrimac and
the Monitor.
After the war he went into Mexico
and began another fight for peoples
freedom. He lived the hunted life of
guerrilla warrior, eating rattlesnakes
and living precarious life off the
country. He was commissioned col
onel. He seemed to have a charmed
life. He came through a hundred
thrilling escapades unhurt-once be-
ing the only man of an entire com
mand to survive.

the granting Of the full special appro-

No More Sunday Slaves

In the future only one man. oi all Prescott's male population, Will be able to enjoy having barber administer to him Sunday shave. No haircuts. scraps or mas sages, according to an edict issued by the Prescott Barbers' associa- tion. at a meeting held late Mon- day night, will hereafter be secur- able on Sunday. except by the la vored individual aforementioned. says the Journal-Min
 The meeting of the barbers, and the subsequent action taken. grew out of the violation of the rules of the association by one of the Pres colt barbers, according 10 a mem- Der of the association. who insisted on trimming the hirsute adorn- ments of his customers on Sundays. He was brought into line at the meeting.
 Following the adption of a rule favoring tha closing of all barber shops on Sundays. resolution was adopted that all shops be closed at
  noon on holidays. with the proviso that should a holiday fall on Satur- day the shops may be kept open until the usual hour.
 The single individual who will, despite the rules of the association, be able to still secure his Sunda, morning shave, is the fortunate husband of the lady barber, who has a shop in the Scopel hotel. sht explaining that while she enthusi astically endorses the action of thu association in closing the shops or the Sabbath. she would consider I a favor if the association would al low her the privilege of shavini her husband on Sundays, behin' closed doors. his work. she said preventing him from a Saturda night shave. Her request wa readily granted.

ment that Steunen6erg had been 'is- sued into eternity and thus had closed the career of a man who showed no mercy" Continuing. the editorial in most inflammatory terms detailed out rages in the bull pen" in 1899 att tributing to Steunenberg the responsi- bility for the calling in of black brutes of soldiers who outraged the wives and sisters of miners and re- fused the request of a miner who. with the dew of death upon his brow. asked for a minister and was told that he could make his confession in hell"
 The editorial went on to say that the death of Steunenberg was step forward. but that the murder of one man did not destroy the system adopt ed by the capitalistic class. In con- clusion, the editorial said that the sud- den extermination of Steunenberg was not of great moment because Steu- nenbergs would continue to rise"

BOYS ASK ABOUT THAT WHITE SUIT
Standing Among Many Famous Men, America's Veteran Humorist Gets Greatest Ovation of All Press
 ent at Ceremony.

OXFORD. England, June 2T.-With thirty men distinguished in politics, art, science or letters, including Pre- mier Campbell Zimmerman, Lord Chan cellor Loreburn, the speaker of the house of commons, MT. Lowther; Gen eral Booth, Rudyard Kipling and the archbishop of Armagh, Mark Twain Samuel L. Clemens) received an OK ford university degree.
 The ceremonies were in the Sheldo- nian theater, the scene of many nota- ble gatherings. which was crowded with university dignitaries, students and visitors. including Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and numerous other Americans.
 Lord Curzon of Kedleston, chancel- Tor of the university, presided and did much to enliven the proceedings, which was aided by the undergrad uates' chaff.
 MT. Reid was cheered on entering the theater, but the great ovation was reserved for Mark Twain, who certain ly was the lion of the occasion. Every one rose when he was escorted up the aisle, and he was applauded for a quarter of an hour.
 When Ingram Bywater, regius pro- lessor of Greek, presented the Ameri- can humorist to the convocation the students started fire of chaff about his books and their heroes, mixed with frequent questions, such as Where is your white suit?"
 Mark Twain said afterward that he wanted to reply. but was determined to observe the etiquette demanding that recipients of degrees be silent.
 Ambassador Reid received the de- gree of doctor of civil laws, as did General Booth, the warmth of whose reception was only exceeded by that accorded to Mark Twain.
 The crowd waited outside the build. ing to cheer Mark Twain as, wearing the scarlet robes of a doctor of let ters, he marched in procession to the chancellor's residence, where those who had been honored by the bestowal of degrees were entertained at lunch.
