.surnames of Royalty.

(From the London P It's WeeklyJ
The origin of most royal houses was
similar throughout Europe, and kings
and their families, speaking broadly.
never had or used surnanes. They
signed their Christian names alone So
universally was this the case that it
became rigid etiquette that person of
ROYAL birth should not use surname.
though there have been numbers OF
cases of dynasties, like our own
Stuarts. like the Bernadotte dynasty
of Sweden or like the Bonaparte family.
who unquestionably and Individually
had inherited surnames. But it has al
ways puzzled me why the cadet mem
bers of our own royal house do not sub
scribe themselves as peers by their
peerage designations, as do other peers.
However, the fact is they do not: but
I confess I have so far failed to dis
cover what are the rules which gov
ern their signatures. The sovereign
signs by the Christian name, and US
uallv adds "R." or "R. and l." Princes
and princesses sign by their Christian
names. and sometimes, but not always,
add the letter "P." When or why this
is added or ommitted 1 am unaware.
But the habits OF royalty lead others
into strange happenings. There was
an occasion q can add name and place
and date if needed upon which Queen
Victoria, after a function, was asked
to sign visitors book. Her majesty
wrote "Victoria R. and L" Princess
Henry of Battenberg then wrote ''Bea-
trice P" The turn of thf local mayor
ess came next and she eigned Eliza
beth" The surname waf hastily writ

to prevent the story gaining cur
rency.

the country will soon let loose upon

YOUNG H00DLUMS KNOCK
DOWN AGED MAN

e. p. Harlan, aged So, real estate
operator living at 223 IL East Fourth
street, was collided with by two young
men on Los Angeles street between
Third and Fourth streets about 10:45
o'clock last night, and thrown to the
street. He was taken to the receiving
hospital where the police surgeons said
his left hip was fractured.
Harlan states that he believes the
young men ran into him Intentionally,
as they walked rapidly in front of him,
and had plenty of room on the walk to
avoid striking him. In fact, he says,
they swerved in his direction when they
were almost opposite him.
Harlan carried small amount of
money, and though it was not taken, he
believes the young men ran into him
with the intention of robbing him.
That they did not rob him he attributes
to the fact that a crowd Of people
gathered about him when he shrieked
with pain, and hemmed in his alleged
assailants, until policeman arrived to
take him to the central station. At the
Jail they gave their names to Police
man D. T. Murphy as Ray and James
Callaghan, but later when questioned
in the detective office they declared
their names to be Ray and James Kelly,
and letters were found in their pos
session to prove that the latter names
were genuine. Both of the men are
thought to be walters.

of these battles would draw one of the
largest houses that has ever filled the
Maud Junction pavilion.
Kelly, who has fought before the local
club, having received a draw with
Tommy Burns in twenty rounds, is the
best middleweight in the ring today,
holding the title which he won from
Jack O'Brien in ten-round bout April
%, 1905, at Indianapolis.
July % of the the same year he fought

ring. In Flynn he would have an op-

has shown by his battles with Sullivan
and Tommy Burns that he is a fighter
of the first class and deserving of a
