KINGS WILL COME Preparing for a Royal Wedding. BALLS AND GAY FUNCTIONS. And the Queen Will Actually Give a Dinner Party - Every Blessed Night. . special to The llonKura Call. ■ New Yohk. June s.— Edmund Tales ca oles the Tribune from London: It would be well if some of the daily papers would li-frain from publishing such palpable romances as that of Lady Wolverton'* al leged gift ot Warren House to the Princess Victoria of Took, a tale which was ren dered more circumstantial by the addition that the Duke of Cambridge, who is the lessee of the property, has agreed to make a present of the freehold to bis niece. Equally without foundation is the an nouncement of the Queen's intention to make over the Blrkhull domain to the Duke of York, nor Is It true that he contemplates taking the place of Twickenham, nor has the purchase or tenancy be-n contemplated of Sheen House, where the Count and Countess of Paris lived for several years. A large number of royal personages are expected to come to England for the wed ding of the Duke of York and the Priucess Victoria, including the Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark. . unless the King and Queen shall be able to come themselves. Prince Albert of Belgium, Prince George of Greece, the Duke of Aosta or the Count of Turin, Prince and Princess Henry ot Prussia, Prince and Princess Frederick Charles of Hesse, the Grand Duke of Hesse, the hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of Mecklenbnrg-Sirelitz, Prince and Princess of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the Duke of Oporto, the Prince and Princess Adolphus of Sehaumburg Lippe and the Duke and Duchess Albert of ■\Vurtemberg, representing the King and Queen of Wurtemberg as representatives of the Emperor of Austria. St. Peters burg will be represented either by the Grand Duke and Duchess Vladimir or by the Grand Duke and Duchess Serge. These royal quests will stay either at Buckingham Palace or Marlborough use. and some of them are to be quar tered at Clarence House. For the suites it will probably be found necessary for the Lord Chamberlain to secure accommoda tion at the Palace Hotel and other hostler les. The foreign royalties will stay in Lon don as the Queen's guests only a few day* and are to be entertained with a state ball and a state concert at Buck ingham Palace and a garden party Marlborough House with a dinnerparty each night, and there will be functions at the embassies and at certain private houses. Lord Rosebery will probably "give a ball at the foreign • flies on the night be fore the wedding.

Rumors that the little Queen of Holland is threatened with consumption are abso lutely without foundation.

The -'National Man" Was Not In the Pace at Any Timo. Vienna, June s.— The close of the foot race from Berlin to this city was attended with evidence of much publis interest. Two of the walkers arrived yesterday evening, tbe fourth la the race being the individual who calls himself "Th» Natural Man," and tries to live up to that assigna tion as near as the rules of civilized society will permit. "The Natural Man" walked barefoot the whole distance, subsisting on the way on herbs and nuts. He is the author of a pamphlet on "Nature's Teach ings," and intends to make his experience the subject of a lectare in Vienna. All the compeiltors complain of the loneliness and the monotony of their walk, and Peitz, the victorious vegetarian, declares he would not repeat it. Hundreds of cyclers rode out to meet the pedestrians as they approached Vienna and crowds awaited their arrival. At Floridsdorff. four miles from the Austrian capital, r. committee took charge of the winners and escorted them into Vienna in a carriage decked with laurels. Peitz is a printer at Augs burg and Eslasser is an engineer at Magde burg. _^ . FOUND A BRIDE. Joseph Livingston /Tarried to a Belie in New York. New York.

Vast Deposit of Borate of Lime Dis- covered in the Calico Mountains. San Bernardino. June 5. — News reached this city to-day that one of the most important mineral discoveries ever made in the State lias been located in the Calico mountains by Hugh B. Stevens. It is a vast deposit of borate of lime, from which borax and boraclc acid are ex tracted. The discovery was mado on the sduth side of the mountain nnd is the con tinuation of a deposit owned and now being worked by the Borate Mining Com pany, which is located on the north side of tin- mountains. The new dis overy Is two and a half miles from the old deposit, but is a continua tion of it. The ledge comes through the mountains horizontally, except as affected by their conformation. Stevens has dis covered one deposit of thirty-five acres In area and 100 feet thick, besides several smaller bodies. The formation on top of the borate is loose porphyry, while the loot wall is cla>. In many places water has washed away the Hanging wall, leaving the borate ex posed. The Borate Mining Company's claim is justly regarded as one of the most valuable properties in the State, and yet lis deposit does not equal in richness or extent the body of mineral just discovered by Stevens. There is a ready market for the product at £50 per ton, and the discovery is esti mated to be worth several millions. Hugh B. Stevens is one of the besf knuwu prospectors on tbe Pacific Coast. He was one of the first to prospect the Calico district and has located a number of valuable mining claims. CAPTURING THE SEALS. Many Vessels Empty in Japan- New Idea Propounded. Victoria, B. C. June s— According to a telegram received by Captain Cox the schooner C.irlotta C. Cox is In Hakodate, Japan, with a catch of 1900 sealskins. It was planned to ship the skins, but the cablegram stated that arrangements could not be made, and the skins will be carried through the voyage, unless means are found for shipping them. Late reports from Japan give the. high est vessel as 1200, and many are empty. The Charlotte G. Cox got 2400 skins last year. ftj^pilMM Captain Searle, late of the schooner Deeahks, Neal. Bay, who arrived this evening on the City of Kingston, said he had a very successful cruise off the mouth of the straits and the west coast of this island since May 14. In five days he got 310 skins. Seals were very thick and are so now. Six little schooners were working and all doing well. Nearly all ore cows and bulls, pups being very scarce. The cows are very heavy and he got the idea that these seals do not all go to the Bering Sea rookeries. Many could not reach there in lime to bear young. It would be found some time that they .go to other Islands. AGAINST TRUSTS. Ignatius Donnelly Bobs Up With the Usual Resolutions. CniCAGO, June s.— The national conven tion called by Governor Nelson of Minne sota, In accordance with the terms of the resolution passed by the Legislate, for 'lint State to take action toward put ting a stop to the formation of trusts and combinations in this country, met here to-day. Thirty-four States responded to Governor Nelson's call, and nearly that number were represented in tha conven tion, forming a small, but compact and earnest body. Governor Nelson called the convention to order and deliv ered an address reviewing the operations of the trusts in Minnesota. He said the national auti - trust law was inadequate and too general in its terms. The Legis latures of the various States must ne re lied ou to pass laws spe ifically defining acts constituting a trust, and affixing sim ply arnved-at penalties. Tbo question of credentials occupied some time. ■ The committee on nominations recom mended Governor Nelson for permanent chairman and E. S. Meaneyof Washington for secretary.

A DIAMOND RING. . I remember a story of a fellow who had a twin brother so like him In appearance that lie was constantly being mistaken for him. As a boy he was the one to be pun ished for his brother's misdeeds. When at college be particularly distinguished himself, bis brother was awarded the pr.zes. The girl he loved his brother mar ried, because, poor girl, she couldn't tell the difference, and when his brother died they burled him instead. The people who figure in the little family episode I am about to tell remind me of those relations. • Jack Bolton and George Staynor were boys together. Approaching the twenties tliey became inseparable, and when Jack started hoii*'k«epin__ with a matchless piece of femininity, George was a constant visitor at that temple of domestic bliss. Now. Jack and George were a pair of opposite*. Jack succeeded in everything. George was an uncompromising failure. It was Jack who carried off all the honors at college, Jack whose recitations and songs were received at the smoking con cert with such favor. Jack whose little fliers in Hie stock market always came off as anticipated. On the co.ntmrv, George had- an inva riable way of -having his fondest aspira tions crushed. He was the Jonah in the football team and the hoodoo of his busi ness associates. Ii depressed him; he be came cynical and forgot how to laugh. All this changed, however, when one day Lena G'ddthwaite smiled on him. He be gin to think fate was capricious, yet was not one-sided in its decrees, and life be came very sunny, indeed, for Mr. George Staynor, more especially as Lena was pretty and Lena had a rich maiden aunt whose will was drawn in her favor. In an unlucky moment be introduced his life-long friend, Mr. Jack Bolton, aud the fair but fickle Lenasmiled on trim no more. When a year alter sin- became Mrs. Bol ton poor George took to cultivating a taste for the cup that cheers with a most de moralizing effect on his person, his pocket book «nd his morals. Whether Mrs. Jack Bolton bad a little . twinge of conscience or not nobody knows, but it is a fact that she played the part of the good Samaritan, and she and her hus baud set about to reclaim their friend from the jaws of a certain very.waim place, with the result that Mr. Staynor was a fre quent visitor at their bouse. Now Mr. Bolton wns renowned, among other things, in the possession of a mag nificent diamond ring. It was really a famous stone, worth, perhaps, SI4OO or 81500, and it had often been the theme of several caustic remarks by that trustee of ill-luck, Mr. Staynor. He would hold it was a crime for some people to be clad in purple and fine linen and be bejeweled when others were starv ing, . lie even went so far as to point out that poverty was an excuse for any crime, and starvation should steal rather than go hungry, and be justified therein. All mis I learned some time after my connection with this story, and when I made the acquaintance of Mr. George Stay nor, but 1 will put the rest ot it as told vie by that gentleman. "I had always hated the sight of that diamond ring; it bad a peculiar fascination for me. I would watch the play of the light around the stone come and go; I would see its prismatic hues dance in and out until it seemed to me like a living thing, glaring at me, mocking me in my poverty and wretchedness, while its owner sat there, calm, content, happy with a I that the world could give him iv love, honor and wealth. "What- wonder, with the consciousness that my life was a failure; that the only woman I had cared for was the wife of that man, 1 felt the world was out of joint ? "All of a sudden, one evening, when I was looking at it, as usual, it fi ••■lied across my mind 'why not possess it?' 1 was in great straits for money at the time, and it was easy enough; there were a thousand opportunities to take it, and who would suspect me? ■■- "That night we were playing billiards, He had had his usual luck, I mine. I whs incensed, toad, and when he left the ring lying on the marble basin, after washing his nam):!, I took it "lt was mine, mine at last! I hardly waited tor the store to open uext day. I might easily have, been taken for a thief in my anxiety, but I did not think of that. 1 placed it upon the counter. I saw the peculiar smile of the jeweler as he said: 'This is not a diamond; it is nothing but paste.' __%. "I was dumfounded. 1 examined it, and sure enough, the beautiful brilliancy had vanished. It was nothing but a clear piece of common crystal. I was staggered. Even in this the curse of . my life clung to me. But one night in my possession and the diamond had changed to paste! "1 determined to return it. Of course it was my intention to do so without being discovered, but, eh, what a weary day it was! The thing burned in my pocket, and I longed to throw it away, yet a desire to see if it would regain its brilliancy over powered me. "At last tho evening came. With a feel ing of considerable nervousness and inner excitement, I entered the drawing-room, only to receive another stagger, for in its usual place on the hand of Jack Bolton was the diamond ring, fl isoing in the bril liantly lighted room with all its old fire. "1 felt in my i ocket; there was the ring I had taken safely enough. "Then there must be two rings evidently, and one was genuine, the otlier imitation, and with my usual luck 1 had taken the worthless one. " "What's the matter with your ring?' I ventured to say, 'I never saw it look so bright.' "'Ah! thereby hangs a talc,' said Jack. "Some time since I was troubled by a teeling that some one was watching for on Opportunity to steal my ring.' "I looked up quickly— he know? "'I tried to shake the impression off," bo continued, 'but without success, and finally 1 gave up wearing it. But I had had it so ninny years that I was realty uncomfort able without tt. MBBB__fߣs6__BsM4l " 'Then it occurred to me to have a du plicate male, that - I might wear on occa sions when there was some risk of losing it, owing to the society I might be thrown among hs my political work. . ""One night 1 was inning to a dinner, and I wanted to wear the real stone, but a volte seemed to whisper to nic to wear the other. • •_- ■ ' .'i> " 'Durlne the evening I suddenly missed my ring. I could not account for Ins dis appearance in any way, but gone it was. 'Of course, t lie value was so slight that I wns not troubled on that count, but I did speculate in mv mind as. to how I hud lost it, and, if stolen, who was tlie thief. " 'That night I had a dream. I saw my ring lying ou a dressing-table. The occu pant of the place was asleep. Out I went to his . bedside and . shook him until he awakened, and he sat up in bed. '"But only for a moment, for the instant he saw my face he uttered a sharp scream, and buried himself behind the clothes. ■_; " "His was the faceof one of in warmest friends, a - man I bad helped many a time along the rugged mad of his life. ; I re proached him for his unfaithfulness, and just then awoke to find it only a dream. _ " 'The next day, however, a messenger Drought in a package containing my ring. The hand that penned the address was that of mv friend. I had another experi ence of a very similar kind and again I dreamed of the thief, and once more some mysterious power seemed . to ; compel . him to return it to me. "T was wondering as yon came In whether I was to have a third experience, for to-day 1 have missed ,my ring again. Lost or stolen,' I can't te I which, but I shall know in my dreams to-night.' -_.. "The conversation must havo made me ghastly white, for they both remarked it. "Certainly mine was not a pleasant posi tion. I became absent-minded,' thinking of this singular coincidence, for 1 could notcall it anything else. And yet, suppos ing be should dream of me as the thief 1 He was a sensitive fellow, and in my nerv ous state anything seemed possible. I repeat. I must" have looked pretty bad, for both Mr. and -Mrs. Bolton insisted 1 was ill, aad further, that 1 must occupy the spare room. . 1 was too weik to argue the point; besides, I often stayed over night with them, so lgave In to their. wishes. "As soon as I reached my room I locked the door, and, to make doubly sure of seclusion, I rolled a chest of drawers aft-mst it. . "The chimney was a large one; I pnshed the washstand against it. Entrance by the windows was impossible, so I went to bed feeling safe against any visitors, unless they were of that ghostly character defy ing doors and brick walls. "But 1 wns nervous; I felt my heart thumping with the restless monotony, of a dynamo engine, and besides, my faculties ail seemed abnormally acute. I started at the slightest sound, and the room seemed full of shadows, that every now and then I would fashion .Into shapes more or less substantial. "At length I arose and relit the gas. The light reassured me. and under its more comfortable influence I dozed off. ■ "But I was soon awakened by having my name called. I opened my eyes and looked around. At first I could see nothing but the room with its familiar, furniture. Presently, ' however, I made out a sort of film, a luminous shadow, as it were, in the center of the room. • As I watched, with an intensity that wag agonizing, I felt the perspiration pouring off me. and my heart beat as though it would break with every pulsation. "As I watched I fancied the film had grown more dense. I could no longer see through it the furniture of the room im- mediately behind it. "It was horrifying. Slowly, oh, so slowly, the shadow darkened. Now it was the outline of a human form ; yes, the out line was sharp and distinct. I could see the features gradually come into life. Whose face could it be? Great heavens! Not Jack Button's. I looked at the door. The chest ol drawer* was still where I had placed It, so was the other furniture. "I turned to look at the figure and as I did so the full light of life seemed to come into the face. His eyes— Jack's eyes — looked at me with a sad and reproachful expression in them that hurt me more thnu a torrent of abuse could possibly have done. It was more than 1 could bear. With a cry I could not suppress, I darted out of bed and the figure Instantly van ished. I did not he-Hate a moment. I put on my clothes, crept silently down the stairs and out of the bouse, never to see Jack Bolton and his wife again. But you wonder why I drink, you wonder I am so prematurely old. Think, realize if you can, the tortures I suffer as night comes around and am alone." Jack Bolton recovered his ring, but at the mice of the severance of a friendship of many years' standing. Once again in the dream state the thief was discovered. The nervous fluid in each man was so highly concentrated that the mind of eacii. being directed toward the other, a thought picture was created which in Staynor's case caused the appearance of the ethereal double of his friend, Jack Bolton. — Cbarles Seals. ■ DOWN THREE STORIES. A Fatal Accident in the Flood Build- ing Last Night. Last night Frederick Seipel, a peddler, who lived at 719 Market street, and pre vious to that occupied a room at 024 Wash ington street, met with a fatal accident in the Flood building en Market street, corner of Fourth.
