The Old Shah Is Learning.

The ex-Shah of Persia, who is living
Mt Odessa, under the protection of the
Gar. is tramping that city day and
night, gathering impressions of the civil
Ized world. Before he left Persia, he
had never seen railway car, steamer Or
printing press. He had never ridden in
an elevator. Sanitary arrangements were
entirely unknown to him, and that men
and women walk erect in his presence,
without shedding their boots and
knocking their forehead on the pavement,
is a perpetual element of wonderment to
the former tyrant. He has attained the
newspaper habit, and buys every news
paper he sees and has its contents trans
lated TO him on the spot. To facilitate
his newspaper studies he has engaged
russian teacher and is eager to learn the
difficult language.

MRS. J. w. HUNT, WHO DESERTED
! MILLIONAIRE HUSBAND IN
PARIS, REPENTANT.
ELOPED WITH RUSS "PRINCE."
After Tour of Europe with Pauper Ad-
venturer, Former Detroit Cir Re-
turns to America.
NOW LIVING WITH HER FATHER.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 3O.-N1rs.
John Wright Hunt, the young Detroit
woman who left her 65-year-old million
aire husband in Paris last May and ran
away with a Russian adventurer describ-
ing himself as Il prince, has now deserted
her prince" and returned to America
penitent. She arrived in New York
Tuesday.
Mrs Hunt was Miss Bessie Harriet
Babcock, pretty girl of q, when, eight
years ago, she married Hunt then %;
The couple went to Los Angeles and
through the south. Then they journeyed
to Paris, where they spent much OF their
subsequent time.
Last spring Mrs Hunt began to re-,
ceive frequent calls from a handsome
blonde giant who called himself Prince
Alexandra de Tgherniadief. He paid her
great attention.
Leaves Husband Note.
Her husband gave little attention to
the persistent visitor until one night his:
wife left the dinner table under pretext
of being i'll and went to her room. When
Hunt sought her later he found a letter
on her pillow telling him that she had
run away with the prince"
Hunt appealed to the police, who told
him that the prince was an adventurer,
and had twice previously elOped with,
women and deserted them when they no
longer had money to support him. Hunt
traced his wife to Chantilly, and there
recovered from her $4,000 worth of
jewelry he had given her.
The old man, nearly crazed by the
domestic smashup, left for New York,
accompanied by a Miss Allen of St.
Paul. who was Mrs. Hunts companion
during their stay i'll Europe. He had
not slept for fourteen nights when he
reached New York.
Blames Wife's Companion.
Hunt refused to speak to his wife's
companion because he thought her re-
sponsibe for his domestic tragedy, she
not having warned him of the prince.
On the pier in New York he approached
Miss Allen with a letter containing the
curses he dared not speak.
The wife with her prince" started on
an automobile tour through southern Eu-
rope and Egypt. She had only a little
money with her, and the prince is said
to have had none. Finally the
break came, and Mrs. Hunt. in much the
same agony of mind that her husband
had experienced when he crossed last
June. took passage over the Atlantic.
When the ship arrived at New York
her father, Adelbert Babcock, who left
Detroit some time ago, was at the pier
to meet her, but no one else. He now
lives in Brookfeld, n. Y, where he
took his daughter.
Mrs. Hunt denied TO reporters that
she had eloped.
