(American News Service)
London, May 21.-The news of the
birth and death of a Spanish prince
arriving today in dispatches from Mad
rid, caused much sorrow among the
royalties and ENJOYS gathered here
for the King Edwards obsequies. Per
sonal messages of coincidence were
sent today by King George ", the
Kaiser, Theodore Roosevelt and many
others, of royal rang or otherwise
who met Alfonso in London. The
Spanish king was one of the most pop
ular of all the three-score royalties

The Sultan of 7erndte

There was a time when the Sultan
of Ternate had great power and riches
and lived in grand style. But now
adays. when this potentate shows
himself to his people he rides in a
state carriage-a gift from the govern
ment, dating from very remote
period of the coach building art
which is dragged and pushed by ma
tives, whose business it is to take the
place of horses. 1t is said that horses
are scarce on the island, and that the
Sultan resents the idea of placing a
native coachman in a more elevated
position than himself; therefore he
prefers to drive out at snaiFs pace,
towed by coolies.
When the Resident returns an official
visit he is fetched in the same We
hicle, and in the same curious style.
Visits are generally paid by the Resi-
dent at seven o'clock in the evening
and the carriage is then accompanied
by torch bearers, which adds to the
fantastic appearance of the cortege and
causes great excitement amongst the
islanders who flock out to watch the
procession. 1t takes half an hour to
reach the palace from the Residents
house, and at the palace the Sultan
awaits his guest at the foot of the
steps surrounded by lackeys holding
lighted candles. On arrival of the
Resident the Sultan offers him his arm
and leads him up the steps to his re-
ception where few chairs COW
cred with red velvet have been placed
beforehand. The Resident takes seat
to the right of the Sultan, and the
native secretaries place themselves at
either side of their royal master. AS
soon as the Resident is seated a SER
want brings a basin of water for his
Excellency to wash his hands, if he
wishes to do so, but as rule the
Resident waves him off. Tea and cakes
are next presented; after which a
troupe of royal women dancers to the
number of half dozen or SO, walk
slowly in in stately fashion, one be-
hind the other accompanied by cla-
rinet player in the uniform of the Ma
poleonic period.
At the end of the performance the
ladies walk out in the same slow and
stately manner and then there is a
pause, during which cigars and sweets
are presented. At the termination Of
the interval another set Of dancers
this time of the male sex-file in, fol-
lowed by large number of musicians
playing violins, flutes and drums,
The dance of the men consists of a
series of high jumps and acrobatic
performances. ending by their form
ing themselves into human pyramid.
The male dancers wear curious har-
lequin costumes with three cornered
hats ornamented with bird of paradise
feathers, the sight of which would
turn any European lady green with
envy 1t is now time for the Resi-
dent to return home, and the ancient
carriage, with it's quaint human
horses and torch bearers, is once more
placed at his disposal-From Quaint
Kingdom" in the June Wide World
Magazine.
