close of his Crefold visit he thanked ;
the maids of honor for their attendance.
He complimented them on their
graceful figures, spoke of the charming
Crefeld faces, and asked If the lieutenants
often danced with them. When
the ladles replied that Crefeld
no lieutenants the katser laughed
heartily and said: "Then I inu send i
you Mime.
As he was leaving he added: "I will
keep my ord." Next day the chief
burgomaster of Crefeld lecelved the
following teltgram from Lieut. Gen.
von Hissing, commander of the 7th
army corp: "By order of his majesty

that Mr. Hobertson would be a stalwart
standard bearer, but the question
was, would he have any show against
Wilcox?
F. J. Testa then suggested the name
of Hop. A. N. Kepolkal, a Hawaiian,
us a non-partisan candidate whom he
thought would meet with the faorable
consideration of the Republicans, or
even of the Hul Kuokuas. The suggestion
of Kepolkal was new, and, although
much discussed, still nothing
definite was decided upon, this being a
part of the work which the Democratic
convention will have to decide.
A motion was made that a commit
tee be chosen to confer with a similar
committee from both the Republican
party and the Hul Kuokoa party, but
It was shown that his was n n a mat
ter to be taken up until the ronventlon
sat. and the motion was therefore
withdrawn.
Thu meeting adjourned to meet again
on August 18, as a Republican conven
tion will be held In the hall, next Mon-day

THE WAYS OF
KINGS AND PRINCES
LONDON, July 23. The Spectator
tins excited much comment by nn article
on Kings and Princes of which the
following are extracts;
"The Princes ought, for example, to
be a rather rotten rare and they are
not. MobI of them Indeed, all except
the Swedes and Servians belong to
famllliH which hae lived In great luxury
for 00 cnrs and haye In that period
been fhown up time ufter time as
Individuals of exceptional Immorality,
and who have inferred Intermarriage
to any method of seeking brides, and
ought, therefore, by this time, to bo
thotoughly worn Out. They are not
worn out at all. They are rather good
'lives.' as actuurles count liven, and
wou'd make a very fair troop of dragons,
and are peisonally rather more
energetic, not to say more fussy, than
other people With the exception of
the Spanish Hourbons, they have
bhown, and are showing, little signs of
feebleness, ami even In that house the
unexplained tnlut In the blood seems to
be working Itself out."

"Thty arc on tho level, for the most
part, of competent English squires, but
no higher. Very few have been original,
and the men descendants of
without exception, havu wllpped
back to the ordinary level."
.From this theory thy Spectator deduces
that a truly royal canto cannot
bo bred according to the theorleH of
heredity. They ought to bcur, It says,
a dellnlt" stamp, and be an easily recognizable
type of mankind. Yet this Ic
nut a casj of personal likenesses whlcb
occasionally occur, such ns that of In
Czar and the Prince of Wales. Tnrrr
is no more general similarity of type
between those men than among members
of tho House of Commons, where
ncrldentul likenesses are very common.
Princes bear no professional nichrl
such as comes to soldiers and u..llors.
All show a sense of supnrlorlty bred br
training, and nil are nervously
of their dignity. There the
ends. The Spectator' declares.
"One thing they 111 alike In Is th
failure to exhibit genius In any Hi
