HE HA1 1:5 insists“ GEORGE. “
An American In a. Predicament in Greek
Waters Got Royal Help.
When Prince George of Greece was
in the United States to attend the
World’s Fair his presence was hardly
noticed, and he was not compelled to
run the gauntlet of Chicago interview-
ers. So it came that perhaps the
Prince’s first experience with the Am-
erican method of acquiring knowledge
for dissemination was afforded by an
American artist who attended the
Olympic games to illustrate an article
fur a how Yorkmagazine.
On the day of the swimming con-
tests the artist was unable to find the
boat which he, together with a party
of friends, had chaitered for the oc-
The 1aces took place on the
l]3.",II)Ol about three miles from the
city, and the artist, a1med with camera
and sketchng toms, wandered about
011 the cr-ow ded shoies until he bar-
gained successfully with two men for
a boat. After paddling about for a
time without seeing much chance of
viewing the races, he made up his
mind to board one of the larger ves-
sels with which the water was
crowded. He chose for his piratical
designs one of the largest and best ap-"
pearing of all the gayly decked craft
and made his Wishes known to the
boatmen. Although he did not under-
stand one word of Greek, there was
no misundemtanding the fact that they
forcibly remonstrated, and the more he
commanded the more emphatic be-
came their expostulations. He finally
overruled their objections and induced
them to row within~ calling Idistance
of the big vessel. The artist hailed a
man on deck in French, telling him
who he was and what he wanted. The
stranger answered in very good Eng-
lish, and after inviting the artist
aboard, he brought a chair and ar-
ranged a place from which a good
view of the start and finish could be
had. Then he excused himself.
The American was very busy for a
while, but it gradually occurred to
him that the boat he was on was re-
ceiving a great deal of attention. Af-
ter it began to move every other vessel
saluted. When the races were fin-
ished and his host returned to the
deck the artist learned that he had
been received by Prince George of
Srreece. He sufiered a little conster-
nation at the beginning, but the Prince
did not appear to notice it and chatted
cordially, while he showed his guest
about the vessel, finally posing before
the camera. The artist was set ashore
at his own request after a little trip
about the bay, in the course of which
the missing boat was encountered, and
he had the pleasure of nodding to his
friends from the deck of the royal
yacht.
At one of the fetes following the
games, at which there were many
Americans—and, one of the young Am-
ericans regarded the Prince with boy-
ish awe, and gravely saluted as he
saw the Greeks salute. The Prince
told him, tactfully, that he need not
salute thus, “because you are an Am-
erican.”New York Sun.
THE FLOOR OF A CHURCH.
the Source from Which the Design of the
Stars and Stripes Came.
The origin of national flags would
be a deep, unfathomably deep subject
in most cases, but our flag, the stars
and stripes, is so young in this old
world that it is possible to find out a
good deal about its origin; still, even as
to ours, We can only guess how in its
first- form it came to be just as it was,
but thciguess is so well founded that
it ought to satisfy Yankees seeking
the source of the Yankee flag. The
first flag of the United States of
Ameiica was raised by Washington at
Cimbiidve, Mass, Jan. 2, 177 6. It
consisted of thirteen sti 1pes alternate
led and white, with a blue field em-
blazoned with the crosses of St.
George and St. Andrew. The next
year Congress substituted thirteen
white stars for the crosses. Now in
Northamptonshire, in England, in a
village called Great Brington, is an
old church containing the tomb of one
of George Washington’s ancestors. It
is inscribed to the memory of Law-
rence Washington, who died in 1616,
leaving behind him (his is on the
tomb, mind you) eigh sons and nine
daughters. Two of these sous emi-
grated to America, and from one of
them descended our great man. Sev-
eral of the Washington family of the
same generation are buried here, and
the XV-ashington coat of arms is en-
graved'on one, bearing.an inscription
to “Eliz. “Vashington,” who died in
1622. Now, on this coat of arms ap-
pear three stars, with the stripes or
bars beneath them. No one could see
it without being reminded of the “star
Spangled banner." Undoubtedly when
to raise
that flag at Cambridge, and arranging
the flag, too, he took the idea of the
stripes from his own old coat of arms.
Not wanting to make the new banner
too personal, so to speak, he kept in
the blue field and the crosses, used in
the British flag, but Congress, when
it took up the subject, was pleased to
follow the old coat of arms that be-
longed to the great general, who was,
fighting for them, and substituted the
beautiful stars for the crosses that the
redcoats carried. Charles Sumner
took a deep interet in all these traces
of the Washington family in England,
and he Once said, “The source of the
design of the American flag lies on the
old floor of Brington Church.” He had
a copy of the coat of arms, made by a
local mason, in native stone—Chicago

His Aversion to Conventional Evening
Dress has made Him Famous. '
Congressman Bailey of Texas, wears
a white neck-tie and, broad expanse of

A month ago Congressman Bailey
was not universally known. Today
he has won a reputation which he may
or may not outlive because of his sim-
ple refusal to accept President Mc-
Kinley’s invitation to dine, as such an
acceptance would make the wearing of
a’dress suit necessary. Yet the refusal

to appear in evening dress, eccentric as
it may seem, is distinctly within the
bounds of law and reason if not of
etiquette, and Congressman Bailey’s
position is perfectly defensible when
he says: “The man who wears any—
thing but a dress suit on an occasion
when everybody is in eveningdress
can be criticized, but I don’t see how
there can be any legitimate criticism
of the man who wears ordinary clothes
and stays away.”
SIAM’S KING WILL VISIT AMERICA.
The Personality of One of the Richth and
lVIost PuwerIuIPrinces of the East.
If, as is reported, the King of Siam
proves to be America’s next royal visi-
tor, there is little doubt that he will
receive a cordial welcome. There is
no more excellent example of thetra-
ditional Oriental potentate of fabu-
lous wealth and unimaginable luxury
than Chulalongkorn I. of Siam. The
anounccment of his intended visit
means that Americans will have the
oppoxtuuity of studying one of the
richest and most powerful piinces of
the East, and to Americans flat-nesed
and thick- lipped princes with the addi-
tional attraction of enormous incomes
are still an interesting novelty.
From his photograph Chulalongkorn
would appear to be still a very young
man, so effectually has kingly luxury
p1pserved his youth. He is, however,
forty years old and has alieady en-
joyed a reign of twenty- -five years Al-
though he has so many other more
ag1ee.1ble pastimes, the King ~occa-
sionally turns his thoughts to cares of
state, and as a result has won the
name of being a wise, even progressive
KING OF SIAM.
with no inclination to play the
role of tyrant. In fact, he is no less
amiable as a sovereign than he is
hind-mannered as a man, which, ac-
cording to those who know them, is
really saying a good deal.
An income of ten millions :1 year,
with perquisites. enables the King to
carry out all his theories of enjoyment,
which are many and elaborate. There
is hardly a luxury which this pleas-
ure-loving potentate has not improved
upon and appropriated for his own
use. Moreover, any possession of any
of his subjects, whether it be palace,
jewel, wife or daughter, is quite at
the disposal of the sovereign, who is
ruler.
not at all averse to conferring such a1
distinction. The royal palace is said
to be a little city in itself and to shelt-
er 5,000 persons. The grounds contain
certain twenty-five acres and are sur-
rounded by a brick wall twelve feet
high. No European has ever been
privileged to inspect all the intricacies
of the kin-gly residence, and even the
Siamese themeselves regard it with a
sort of holy awe.

THAT COSTLV RATS‘ NEST.
Built in “111}an of an Old Box Car Out 01
Five 9311120 U. SI'TI'ensin'y Notes.
The famous rats' nest. which was
built out of live $100 United States
Treas1'11y notes in the end of an 0111
box cm on the Louisville and Nash
tilil '11 in 181’ 3,8 again becoii .....
a mattei of public record in the Sen-
ate files. John Veuley, a carpenter at
Louisville, found these notes while
tearing out the end of the aforesaid
old box car. While the notes were
pretty badly mutilated, there seems to
have been no difiicult—y in determining
their character, their denomination
and date, and the issue and series to
which each btlonged.
Upon the advice of a friend Veeley
took the notes to the Louisville Cus-
tom House, aud at his request they
were forwarded to the Treasury De-
partment for redemption, but the de~
partment refused to- redeem them, and
with the approval of the Secretary
they were ieturned to him by express
in F ebruar,y 1869. He then sold them
to one Julius Wellman, a broker, for
$300.
In March. 1869, Wellmau had them
sent again to the Treasury Depart-
ment, and the matter was referred to
the First Comptroller, who-decided on
the 31st day of July, 1869, that they
should neither be redeemed nor re
turned to Wellman. Veeley then re-
turned the money to Wellman and re-
newed his eifmts to secure payment
from the Treasury Department. Re-
peated refusals were made until 1890,
when a bill was introduced in the Fif-
ty-Fifth Congress authorizing the re—
demption of these notes. In each suc-
ceeding Congress the bill has come up,
but has never yet been passed.
Senator Paseo, from the Committee
on Claims, made a favorable report,
declaring that his committee was im-
pressed with the justice of the claim;
that although more than 27 years
have elapsed since the find and the
circumstances were published in the
' newspapers at the time, no claim-ant
has appeared for the notes. Each note
is plainly described and, in the opin-
ion of the committee, the United
States ought to redeem its just Obliga-
tions—Washington Post.
Salaries of Rulers.
“The divine right of kings” does not
prevent them from asking and obtain-
ing a good salary for the work they do.

to do that, he must have money. Usual.

life a pleasuie.
The Czar gets 25,000 eveiy day he
rules; the Sultan Q$18,000; the Empei-
or of Austria only $10,000, and Em-
peror IVilliam $2,000 less.
Queen Victo1ia has $35,000 to spend
every week, while her son spends as
much, although his income is less the.
half that sum. I
A Close Bargain.
rOne of the closest bargains on rec-
ord is thus described by a Phillips,
Me., man. He says the trade involved
a pair of steers with a sled, a horse
and sled, and a side of beef. Finally
he offered to the other man a big cut
of the beef to bind the bargain, and
be supposed it would be speedily set-
tled, until his friend commenced to .
hesitate and look the beef over critic

out what isknown of her is interesting
111d indicates that she is an uncom-

icter. It is recorded by Dr. Nansen's

that his first meeting with his future
11 ife was in the woods about Frogner
Seator, where, one day, obserVing the

King Oscar of Sn eden is one of
her admirers, and especially likes her
singing, which he has often heard; and
since she has been in England the com-
pliment has been paid her of asking
her to sing before the Queen. She is
a. staunch backer of her adventurous
husband, whose departure on his peril-
ous errand cost her anxieties and mis-
givings as to which she said little at
the time. Since her husband‘s return
she has sometimes spoken in conver-
sation of her fears. and has said that
careful comparison of Dr. Nanscii’s
diary with her record or remembrance
of her own sensations bears her out in
the belief that the times when she was
the most concerned about him were
the seasons of his greatest peril. That
implies a telepathic communication
born of intense sympathy and solici-
tude, the possibility of which science
seems no longer disposed to deny.

Sars, a well-known zoologist. Zoology,
it will be remembered. is a branch of

Cos‘tnof Tunnels.
A recently published item relative
to the comparative cost of the world's
four great tunnels places the cost of
the Hoosac tunnel in the United
States, the oldest one of the lot, at
about $380 a foot. The Mount Cenis
tunnel, the next in date, cost, accord-
ing to the same item, about $355 a
foot; the St. Gothard cost $230 a foot,
and the Arlberg, the latest in date,
cost only $155 a foot. The rapid de-
crease iu cost within comparatively
few years is cited as a marked indica-
tion of the great progress in mechan-
ical methods and improvements in
rock excavating tools. ,A still more
