THE MINISTER OF POLICE" by
Henry Mountjoy, is a romance of Paris
during the Louis XIV reign, a period
when Europe was in a condition OF To-
ment and unrest; when Voltaire was
breaking to pieces the shackles OF re-
nglon; when Rousseau at the Care ae
f~segenance was preaching the rlgnt "

preparing the great explosion OF the reVo-

that stamps him as a man apart some

is, in fact, stepped in the philosophy OF

gone far enough to incriminate himself he
falls in love with the beautiful Austrian,
who persuades him his method of Fighting
the wrongs of humanity Is impracticable
and ends by promising to go to Vienna
with her to live.
AS he leaves her house a fellow con-
spirator, his chief, joins him. says several
of their members are arrested, and en-
trusts the secret articles of the association
to him He then explains to De Lussac
that their only hope is to int!n1date the
minister OF police, This can be accom-
plished only by obtaining an incriminatine
contract signed by the minister OF police
and in the possession and safe keeping OF
De Richelieu, De Lussac's cousin. WITH
this contract in their possession they car
dictate terms to the minister of police, OBJ

Monkeys for Board.

Every one in the theatrical business
knows Willis Cobb. He has two claims
to fame, as the general of
circuses for two generations and as the
inventor of the Steamboat cocktail"
Many years ago, at the end of a dis.
astrous season, when Willis's posses
sions had become reduced to q cage
of monkeys, he reached RushviIle, Ind.
He was a Glossy" talker, and induced
the proprietor Of the principal hotel in
Rushville to agree to board him the
rest of the winter in consideration of
a mortgage on the monkeys. The
proprietor, by the way, hedged by put
ting the monkeys in the Club room"
upstairs n charging it's frequenters
a bucket OF coal apiece an evening for
playing poker there. Thus the mon
keys were kept warn
One day the hotel man went away
n left Willis to u the place. When
he got back he found a big bar set
up in the parlor. A good share of the
male population of Rushville was
standing in front of the bar 'clamoring
for a Steamboat cocktail" The pro-
prietor tried one, and the bar is there
yet. The drink lives, but those who
quaffed it first are dead and dust
popular in the Mississippi boats and
still is an institution up and down the
valley of the great river. The
Steamboat cocktail" is exactly like a
Martini. except that a piece of lemon
is rubbed aroun the edge of the glass
before the liquid is poured into It
The the glass is inverted into a bow
of powdered sugar and c,,mes out witt
a fringe of frosting, delightful to the
y and to the taste. The inventor o1
this ambrosial nectar is in his sos
now. He lives in Cleveland Ohio.

GEORGE OF BATTENBURG is
PLACING SEA AHEAD
OF PALACE

Barerfooted, wearing a soiled. linen
uniform, his face marked with coal
dust, a young man who has success
fully lived down being a nobleman, as
the expression is on the vessel, stood
as officer of the watch this morning
on the battle-cruiser New Zealand
The young man was Prince George OF
Battenburg, second cousin of the
reigning King George.
He was dirty. 1t Is dirty work coal
ing q war ship. He walked back and
forth along the deck amidships, his
hands crossed behind him, now and
then giving sharp order as the men
washed the deck. and worked in hun
dred ways to clean the vessel after
the coaling.
Twenty-Five hundred tons of fuel
had been put on the battle-cruiser be-
fore midnight and the remaining
work was to wash the coal dust from
decks and polish the metal. Early
this morning, before sunrise, the task
began, with the Prince of Battenburg
as the officer of the watch. He seem
ed to like the work. They say some
cay he will be a high officer in the
navy of England He does not deny
that he likes the life of an officer, but
where the goal of his ambition lies he
does not say.
Many stories have been told about
the prince concerning his life since he
was commissioned Some of them, he
says are untrue, some others he adj
mits are well-founded, while with ref
erence to others he is silent. But they
all have the element of real life in
them, and they all show that the
prince could never successfully be "a
carpet knight A little jackie aboard
says the prince is hard case, and
supplemented it with the explana-
ton that two. Chinese princesses are
desperately in love with him.
If the prince is conscious of their
devotion, he gave no sign of it this
morning. His whole attention seemed
TO be on his work, and in an interview
he preferred the subject of the ship
rather than the fairer sex. A number
of parties have been planned for him
while the New Zealand is here, and
about these he is keenly interested.
yet suggested that his ship duty might
prevent him from attending. Being
on the early watch this morning. he

grams from Pekin and Shanghai, re-
ceived late this afternoon, are to the
effect that the present situation in
middle China is growing more serious
day oy day, and that many of the
provinces of that section have avowed
their allegiance to the army of the
revolutionists.
The bitter feeling between the
North China element, as represented
by President Yuan Shih-kai, and the
South China element, which is being
led by DR.. Sun Vat Sen and General
Wong Hing, is adding its seriousness
to the situation. Fierce fighting has
occurred between the two at Kiang
Kong, Kiansi province, which is re-
ported to have resulted in the defeat
of the army of the North element.
When the news of this battle reached
Pekin, President Yuan Shih-kai called
his cabinet ministers into conference
and they are now discussing the ways
and means to put an end to the civil
war " - ! z -.'. ... .
