What Interests The Old World
German Crown Prince on American
Rudeness--Cairo Shoots the Chutes--
Parisians Take Tea in Swim
ming Bath---AbduPs Gems

ST. NORTH, Switzerland, Sept. 8.
Americans have no answers. They
are the rudest people in the world"
is a remark made this week by Prince
Adalbert, third son of the Kaiser, who
is spending the summer here incog-
nito under the name of Count Won
Hemstein. The Prince arrived at this
conclusion because, for the first time
in his life, and this on two different
occasions, his wishes have not been
obeyed as royal commands, accord
ing to the custom of European courts.
Tennis has been this year the favor
lite sport of the young American So
ciety folk here, and the Prince, who
is a good player, made a great many
friends among them.
Some ten days ago, intending 70
give a dinner to some of the German
nobility passing through st. Moritz,
he suddenly made up his mind that
his American friends should be his
guests as we'll, and the afternoon be-
fore the appointed date he walked to
the courts and invited all of them.
1t happened that on the same date
Miss Florence Johnson, of Philadel-
phia, was also giving a dinner parry,
at which, as the Prince knew, they all
were to be guests.
The players stopped their games for
a moment, and with perfect unanim-
ity declined the Princes invitation,
saying they would not disappoint
Miss Johnson for worlds"
They then resumed the game as if
nothing had happened, while the
Prince walked back to his hotel, much
piqued and wondering how there
could be anybody not willing to can
eel any other engagement for the
honor of sitting at his table His par
ty was dull affair, and Miss John
sons a great success.
The royal youths indignation did
not reach its climax until couple of
days later. 1t was Saturday afternoon
and he had been watching with great
interest the brilliant play of Bernard
Dell, the well-known athlete of Prince
ton University. The game over, he
asked, Mr.. Dell to play a single with

TWeed'S Chief Lieutenant

Some politicians are sorry and some
are not, but at any rate all are inter-
ested in the death, a few days ago, of
Peter B. Sweeny, known for years as
the brains of the terrible Tweed ring
in New York City, and the man who
is commonly supposed to have made
and unmade Tweed himself. Surely
he was Tweed's friend and adviser to
the last, and was lin on" every secret
that the Tammany sachem ever had.
This we learn from the New York
Evening Sun, which, without essay
ing to be hard on poor old dead
man." opines they were some Sc
crets," at that. Says the Sun:
Mr.. Sweeny was born in New
York. His father for many years ran
hotel in Hoboken. His mother was
woman of exceptional ability. After
receiving a good preliminary educa,
ton the son studied law in the Of
fee of James T. Brady, one of the
prominent lawyers of the day, and
later became member of the firm of
Willard. Sweeney & Anderson.
His first public office was that of
public administrator, to which he was
elected in 1852 and in which he made
a good record. In 1857, he was p
candidate for surrogate, but was nom
mated and elected district-attorney.
This office did not appeal to him
His naturally retiring disposition
made the active trial cases in court
distasteful to him. Then his health
failed and he resigned. The next few
years he spent at various European
baths, returning to take up his polti-
cal career again when his health re-
turned, but this time playing a more
silent role.
Early in the sos he had been a sec
rotary of the Tammany general com
mittee and had been prominent in the
"Hardshell" faction of Tammany Hall
He was one of the opponents of Fer
nando Wood and in conjunction with
J. Y. Savage, the other secretary of
the general committee, issued a state
ment denouncing Wood and his pri
mary methods, When a majority OF
the sachems of Tammany at the so,

seen to his comfort, remained to chat
with him on the topics of the neigh
borhood. Her good man was still
abroad in his fields.
A narrow door in the further corner
of the room led to a staircase, and so
to the upper part of the house. 1t
opened suddenly, and a girl came in.
She looked about 20 years of age,
dark haired and dark eyed, with a
slnder figure whose grace made itself
felt even through the plain print dress
she wore. Her arms were bare to the
elbow, and were beautifully nodded.
Her skirt was short enough to give
him a hint of a very pretty ankle
above a plain country shoe. He noted
with approval that her hands were
neat, and not spoiled with hard work.
She looked at him moment, and
then bobbed little curtsey, with a
swift side-glance at the farmers wife
that had in it momentary hint of a
confidence. Then she spoke, and her
voice was clear and fresh.
"If the gentleman has finished, Mrs.
Hart" she said, "Tll clear away"
81 have finished, thank YOU" said
Jack, rising. "I'll take little stroll
before bed time"
He stood moment with his back to
the fire, examining tobacco into his
pipe and watching the quick, deft
movements of the girl as she cleared
the table. Even as he held the match
to the bowl his eyes looked over the
curling smoke to follow her move
ments. Then, the pipe being thor
oughly alight, he took one or two deep
puffs and went out into the yard.
Unconsciously his thoughts went
back to the kitchen and the pretty
maid. He confessed to himself that
he had been greatly attracted by her.
His eye roved over the windows upon
that side of the house, with a vague
speculation as to where she slept His
own room was, he knew, upon the
other side of the house, low-ceilinged
apartment with heavy oak rafters and
creepers nodding at his window His
thoughts brought him to no definite
conclusions, and after an hours smok-

A PRIVATE PERFORMANCE.


The curtain had fallen upon the last
performance of the tour and Jack Sed-
ley breathed a sigh of relief as he
went to his dressing-room to remove
the grease paint from his face.
He had no quarrel with his work.
On the contrary, he was an enthusiast.
And, though not very we'll known in
London, he felt that he could consider
himself one of the fortunate ones Of
the profession.
But now he was tired. He was tenn
porarily sick of the glare of the foot
lights, the endless making up" the
late hours and all the hard routine of
the theater He looked forward to the
morning as the beginning of holt
day He had visions of the country,
of calm mornings in the fields, of med
itative puffs at his pipe among the
sweet-scented hedges.
He knew the very spot to which he
proposed to go. Some months before,
when travelling from one town to an
other, he had had to wait some hours
of sunny Sunday morning at a small
junction in Hertfordshire He had i'm
proved those hours by rambling
through the lanes, and had come upon
a farmhouse warm with the glow of
old red brick and clad with thick,
clinging ivy. The farmers wife had
given him glass of beer, and, in the
course of conversation, had mentioned
that she took an occasional ledger.
The place had made so deep an
impression upon him that its recollec-
ton had grown into a kind of Mecca
of restfulness, paradise of peace. He
would go there and, amid the haw-
thorn and the lilac, forget for a few
weeks the glare of the limelight and
gather fresh stores of energy for his
work.
The following evening found him at
his destination. Seated at a plain
meal in a large, tagged kitchen, watch
ing the freight flicker over the walls,
he was conscious of a sense of salts
faction that surpassed all his antici-
pations. He promised himelf an even
ing stroll, pipe or two, and an early
retirement. The farmers wife, having

Sweeny paid 100000 for his confirma-
ton by the board of aldermen. In
contrast to this, in the fall of 1867,
Sweeny, as chamberlain, announced
his decision to give to the city treas
ury interest money amounting to over
100000 a year, which he said had
hitherto been pocketed by the city
chamberlain.
Sweeny was largely responsible for
the choosing of William M. Tweed as
Grand Sachem of Tammany Hall, and
became Tweeds chief lieutenant. He
was appointed commissioner of parks
by Mayor A. Oakley Hall, and with
the mayor, Tweed, and Richard ..
Connolly was a member of the new
formed board of apportionment in
which control over the city's affairs
was vested.

YOU and THE BURGLAR

tempt a burglar
There is always some jewelry, too.
Even if you are plain sort of people,
more than likely your wife has a dia.
mond engagement ring and always
she has a gold wedding ring Yon
men when they begin to earn money
think first about getting themselves
a gold watch and chain and second
about getting a wife. Perhaps, too
there are some family heirlooms OF
considerable value. If you belong 10
a secret society you'll have a jeweled
emblem or two on which a burglar
could realize few dollars.
1t is a poor sort of a home in which
an enterprising burglar will not find
at least two hundred dollars worth of
iewelry OF course he will not get
from the pawnbroker or the fence
who buys it from him anything like its
real value, but still he will get en-
ough to make it worth while.
In nearly every house, too, is some
solid silver. There are grandma's sill
yer spoons, and the bonbOn dish that
Uncle John gave you when you were
married and the loving cup presented
to your by your lodge. Count it up
and you will find that there will be at
least a hundred dollars worth Of
solid silver.
Those are the three principal things
a burglar will look for-money, jew
elry, and solid silver, If he has
plenty of time and a good opportunity
TO escape with a large bundle without
attracting attention he may pack up
your fur coat and your wifes evening
coat and gather a few trifes like
opera glasses and cut glass. The
things that he looks especially for are
those that represent the greatest
value in the least bulk.
But remember this. The burglar in
most cases has a wife and family ci
whom he is as fond as you are of
yours. He steals to buy them meat

MAKES BRAIN SURGERY EASY

MAKES BRAIN SURGERY EASY,
LONDON, Sept. DIR. Charles T.
Dana, the well known alienist, who is
chairman of the Board of Health
Committee Of the New York City
Club, sailed on the Mauretania today
after an attempt to make some study
OF the municipal government of Lon
don from a health point of view.
The word attempt is used advisedly,
as he found an intricate system from
which it was almost impossible to
learn anything of value for New York
city.
ITO begin with the data found" he
said.s there is no board of health
here, its duties being divided be-
tween the London County Council
and the Metropolitan Asylum Board,
the latter of which has charge of in
fictitious diseases, but some way or
other London is run very well. I
think it is because the people have
such unsual administrative skill and
are honest.
81 found the administration of Lon
don so radically different from that
of New York that I do not think we
could learn anything from it. We
certainly could not adopt their sys-
tenn, for it is one of long growth.
Perhaps the thing that. interested
me most here Is the splendid work
in experimental physiology being
done by Sir Victor Horsley. He has

A Visit To Gay COney Island

Correspondence of The Starr
NEW YORK, September 12.-The
other day I made my annual visit to
Coney Island
say annual because once a sea-
son at Coney Island is always enough
for me, if not heap too much.
I always put that annual visit to
Coney off as long as possible, but
along toward the finish of the season
l am sort of blindfolded and led down
there by some friend from another
city, who, never before having been
at Coney Island, and having heard of
the fame of the queer, freakish place
all his life, grabs a-hold of me in a
weak moment-my own weak mo-
ment, mean-and gets me to act as
his cicerone and chaperon through
the foolish mazes of the place.
2 And, even so, after I've gone
through the dreary performance of
visiting Coney Island, even to please
an insistent friend, l always wonder,
on the way back, and for long time
thereafter, just why l happened to
yield to the-er-I was going to write
Temptation" but it never is that; 1t

getfulness of the miseries I've en-
dured at Coney during all of the prev
ious years.

the places of amusement, in this broad
land or any other broad land, the
fame of Coney Island is the least

TEN BURGLAR "DONTS
BY DETECTIVE SHERIDAN

Don't leave money or jewelry lying
around an dressers.
Don't admit strange peddlers to
your house, or even meter inspectors
or telephone men without watching
them.
Don't forget to lock all the windows
and doors on the ground floor.
Don't overlook the fact that most
burglars are afraid of dog.
Don't even go away over night
without leaving someone in the
house.
Don't neglect the precaution of al
ways leaving one light burning all
night
Don't forget that a circus or other
large gathering in the neighborhood
attracts burglars.
Don't try to capture or kill burg
lar in the dark. All the advantage is
with him.
Don't forget that a burglar will
generally arrange a get away in the
rear of the house.
Don't yell Burglars" until the burg
lar is out of your bedroom, unless you
want to get shot.
