son OF INDIAN BAJAH
WORLDS RICHEST PRINCE A STU.
DENT AT HARVARD.
JaisInerao Gaikwar, Who Will Sons
Day Rule 100000 People Of
Baroda, Preparing Himself
for Future Position.

Boston.-The future ruler of 3,O0O,'
900 subjects and the heir Of riches
that make the famed wealth of Midas
pale into insignifcance, Prince Jaisin-
grao Gaikwar, the son of an lnGian
rajah, is now preparing himself at
Harvard for his future position.
When the Gaikwar of Baroda, Sec
ond in Importance among the rajahs,
visited America two years ago, he
was SO pleased with the methods OF
teaching at Harvard that his last
word to President Eliot was that his
sons would be sent to finish their ed
ucation at Cambridge.
Accordingly, Jaisingrao Gaikwar, 10
years old, elder son of the rajah, is
now installed in a sumptuous suite Of
rooms in upper Westmorley court, one
of the most exclusive outside dorml,
tories.
The heir to an annual income of
$12, 100000. Prince Gaikwar, as he is
known, asserts his democracy by a
comparatively modest college exist
ence, and an attitude of good fellow
ship which has already made him
popular among Harvard men.
Among the many heirs to vast for
tunes who have attended Harvard, the
future rajah of Gaikwar can probably
boast of the most fabulously wealthy
father.
To-day the maharajah's public rev.
enues reach a total of $6,000,000 a

year, while his private resources are
said to bring him as much more.
| The education of the young ruler to
American ways is but step in the
| revolution of the Baroda state.
Born of race which once delighted
in most inhuman cruelty, the gaikwar
| of Baroda now seeks to give his peo-
| pie the best that modern civilization
| Of the west has to offer. He comes
from fighting ancestry, being a de-
scendant of that great Mahratta SOL
| der, Damaji Gaikwar. His title,
Shamsher Bahadur, was won by that
warrior at the battle of Bellapore, at
the end of the seventeenth century,
when the imperial army of Delhi was
defeated. The title was conferred by
the shahu raja of SAHARA in admira-
ton of his bravery.
He declares that American prosperi-
| ty is the result of one of the most
equitable forms of government in the
world, and he hints that the future
progress of Baroda VIII owe much to
the example which is held up by this
country.
College he likes. He says that he
enjoys it as much as anyone else, and
from the large number of friends that
he has already acquired it is safe to
say that the prince is liked by the
college.
In personal appearance Prince Gaik-
war is olive-complexioned, with oval
face, plump cheeks, lips little thick,
er than those of the average Ameri-
can, and with luminous, dark eyes. He
is slightly understood in height, but u.s.
ually carries himself erect and square.
shouldered.
Prince Jaisingrao's studies at Har-
ward have been selected with a view
to the responsibilities which will fall
to him when he returns to the far
east. AS the elder son he is fitting
himself to carry on the work of ruling
the destinies of the 100000 subjects
over whom his father is now absolute
ruler.
In the '70's Mulhar Rao, gaikwar,
spent enormous sums of money upon
contests of athletes and animals. He
was passionately fond of cruel sports
in which the lives of men were endan-
gered, and personally superintendent
the arrangements that concerned
them. Elephant fights and rhinoceros
fights were of almost daily occurrence.
He kept in his courts many perfect
athletes, celebrated throughout the
whole of India, and Wrestlers who came
from the Punjab and Trahancora

Her Purse
BY Judd Mortimer Lewis.

Mr.. Jinx sat with his feet on the
center table, one hour past supper
time, and merely glanced over the top
of his paper as Mrs. Jinx, with eyes
sparkling and cheeks rosy from her
brisk walk entered the room.
Well" said she pushing his feet
from their resting place and seating
herself there in their stead, "have you
no kiss for me, and nothing to say2"
Jinx swiftly rose, paced three times
across the room and back with tragic
stride, then paused with his nose with
in an inch of her own and acclaimed,
in a voice shaking with emotion:

Mrs. Jinx' voice trailed off weakly

holding her purse at arms length with
both hands.

Addison Spriggs, VentiLator
BY s. E. kiser.

With a heartfelt sigh Addison

of improper and inadequate ventila-

Carefully adjusting his ear-muffs
and turning up the collar of his great

toward the slums, keeping sharp
lookout for unventilated houses and

the blast, SO that his nose might not

Then a large, coarse man who wore

kicked Addison Spriggs into the street
where he succeeded after time in
crawling out of bank of snow which
had broken his fall but had not i'm

What is there to justify such a dis

Bryan tries to justify, neither Mr.,
Bryan nor anybody else can make
clear. The Republican policy of pro-
lection stands for all American indus
tries employing labor and capital and
giving promise of being built to large
proportions. Without reference to
their nature. The Democratic party
has been forced into the attitude of
discriminating, in the application of
its free trade doctrine, between the
men investing their mind, money and
muscle in the production of raw ma

engaged in working up these raw

This is an untenable position. The

during the past two years. It may be
said that our production of steel is
now as large as any we have ever
had. Prices also are practically back
to where they were before the panic

United States Steel corporation and
other producers are now exceedingly
large, and guarantee for labor as
well as for the stockholder, exceed

The crops, are nov made and with
the exception of cotton they must
be- considered as better than the av-

money value the seasons harvest will
net the producer the largest sum

single element in our population,
will have a greater buying power
than ever before and this must neces-
sarily be felt in every line of in.
