Thirty covers were .laid, the Princess Fushimi and Mr. and Mrs. Midzuno being present To-nieht the Japanese Society will give a dinner for the prince at the Hotel Aster. During the day he intends to visit the Brooklyn navy yard, and, if possible, will co to Mineola to watch the aviators. The prince was very much disappointed when the bad earner Interfered with his pro posed trip to Mineola yesterday. Some lit tle time will be spent at the navy yard, as Prince Fushimi is very much interested in naval construction. He is a veteran of the Japanese-Russian war, having been a lieu tenant on Admiral Togo's staff on board the battleship* Mikasa This interest In naval affairs is what, leads him to believe t?iat he will enjoy his coming trip to An napolis as much as any other part of his American tour. He eoes to Philadelphia tomorrow, and will spend half a day there, then visiting W&shinerton. The Annapolis trip will be made from the capital. Th© Drtnce will visit Boston. Niagara Falls and Chicago before he goes to San Francisco. The present plan is to sail from the Golden Gate on June 21. and thus com plete the world tour.

Washington, .Tune s.— Semi-social and po litical in character will be the visit to Washington this .veek of Prince Fushimi- No-Miya. cousin of the Emperor of Japan, and his wife. Ostensibly their visit has no significance, and is merely part of a world tour which the couple are taking Prince Fushimi is a sailor man. with an excellent war record behind him. As an incident to his visit to Washington he is to inspect the naval gun factory here, where are be ing manufactured what American naval of ficers honestly believe to be th« most for midable naval weapons in the world, namely, the 14-inch rifle 3 that are to be placed on the two new Dreadnoughts. The social features of the prince's visit will be numerous, and will keep him busy from the time he arrives in Washington on Tuesday until his departure for New York at the end of the week. He will din" with the President and Secretary Knox; will at tend a formal reception and dinner by the Japanese Ambassador, when he will have an opportunity to meet all of the diplo matic corps; will exchange the usual cere monial visits with Secretary Knox, and finally will make the trip 10 Mount Vcrnon to see the tomb of George Washington.

Griffith.of No. 19 East 41 at street. The reasonMe desire of Mr. Porter to share none ft O. Henry's fame has brought into'existence a vast quantity of O. Henry legend. The legend runs that he has en tramp, tintype artist, book agent, penny-a-liner, prospector. cowpuncher. [rtlst and druggist. Demi's of His Life. As a mattr of record, he went to Texas while till a boy and spent nearly three years jn the ranch of Lee Hall, the ranger. In 1894. to further an in born literarypmbition. he went to work on "The Huston Post." . Two years later ho bought Brann's "Iconoclast" for ?250. Lateral ill he gave the title beck to Brann. ai* called his own paper "The Rolling Stoi»-" It ]iv°<] oty a short time, however, and then its^ditor and owner embarked for Centra! ».merica with a friend, who intended to lecomc interested in banana raising, but 3id not. "Most of my time there." said O. Henry. "I Inocked around amon? the refugees a.m consuls." Back to Txas he came, and for two weeks after lis arrival he tended a soda water fountiin in a drug store. On this incident is founded the myth that he was once a druggist. "That wai a rotten two weeks." said he in one »f the very few Interviews ever had vith him, "They made me. draw soda vater, and I gave up. " "A lot o': stories have been printed about me. and none of therm is true," he went on in this same interview. "Ifs been said ttat T was once a cattle thief. The nearest I ever got to that distinction was going iown on a friends ranch to learn cattle raising. Another story is that 1 have been a miner. T never saw a mine in ror Hfe. Then, there's the old yarn that I was a tintype artist. So far as this is concerned. I must admit that I ojkp had a tintype taken with my arm draped gracefully over a lady's shoulder. "An Embroidered Fib." "Then there is that infernal newspa per over !n PittFhurg which printed the story that when I first began to write I blew Into its office looking like a tramp, offered manuscripts for sale, and, be fore blowing out again, borrowed a dol lar. That story is an embroidered fib. Why. I was rhe best dressed man in the office, unless it was the editor, whose shoes were a little more pointed than mine." After the drug: store experience O. Henry drifted to New Orleans and thence to New York. His wandering influenced his work Texas eivep the setting for the volume of short stories called "The Heart o* the West." Central America !b the scene of "Cabbages and Kings." "The Four Million." "The Voice of the City" and "The Trimmed Lamp" are stories of New York City. "Th*» Gentle Grafter" is a volume which has no home. Last year he wrote his only novel. "Roads of Destiny." Mr. Page called it an elon gated short story. Mr. Hall, who when editor of "Ains lee's" told O. Henry that if he would come to New York he would pay him $1,200 for twelve short stories per annum, said yesterday that ■ the hu morist's regular price at the time of his death was 25 cents a. word. He was careless about money, though, the ed itor added, and frequently they would give him a check for $1,000 and tell him to write them a story. This means that O. Henry was among the four or five 'highest paid writers of his time. Fond of Pitching Coins. "He had a brass bowl in his room," said, Mr. Hall, "into which he used to pitch coins for the fun of the game. He would get over on the other side of thf room a. id see how many coins he could land in the vessel. This gave him so much enjoyment that the bowl was kept pretty full, and whenever he felt the need of funds he would help himself from It." Mr. Page said that his publishing house paid O. Henry stiff royalties, so that his yearly income, he thought, must have been a very comfortable one. But often, the publisher said, the man would leave his money at the office, not know- Ing what to do with it. ur apparently not caring what became of it. "What advice would you give to young writers?' 1 O. Henry was once asked. "I'll givp you tlie whole secret of short story writing." he replied. "Here It is: Rule I— Write stones that please your self. There is no Rul" '_' ." Ho worked constantly almost up to the day of his death. Recently he had sp*>nt nine months in Asheville. at hiss wife's home, working on a new plaj. Since his return to New York ho had complained of ill health, and ioin< identally lio also announced his Determination to try writing in » serious vein. But li" hid the medicines the doctors prescribed, and only last Friday Dr. «'harles R.

FATHER FINDS DAUGHTER Chronicle of Resort Sunday In cludes Story of Child Injured in Runaway. To those who braved the elements yester day Coney Island was a land of eventful happenings within her limits everything that is calculated to stir up emotions In the j human breast took place. The cycle of events started with an attack upon a keep er by one of Captain "JBck" Bonavita 8 j vicious, omnivorous, man-eating lionesses, and from that auspicious beginning ran the gamut of human emotions, finally end;rr* up with the finding of a stag« struck daugh ter by her Irate father on one of the tin selled stages of Coney Island's Bowery. Th» crowds who throng Dreamland Park of a Sunday have become so accustomed '•• seeing the hairy lions and tigers make murderous attacks upon their keeper?, that they would feel that they had not received their moneys worth were this important number in the programme to be left out. Consequently, while they were grouped about the cage yesterday afternoon to se a what they should see, the word went around that the attack had begun, and everybody 1 crowded a bit closer and stretched their ears and necks, the better to hear the bloo«l curdling growls which came from the run way whore the group of five lions and two bears were being handled by Peter Taylor, a trainer. 'As the story --as told by an. entirely dis interested spectator. Taylor was trying to drive the animals from their cage to the performing: arena, and to do this it was necessary to make them go through th* runway leading to the arena. Within On darkness of this runway, but out of sight of the populace who were waiting for the spectacle, one of the lionesses, by name Duchess, which attacked the same trainer about three weeks ago, again so far forget her good manners as to make another at tack upon Taylor. Keeper Fights for His Life. Duchess knocked Taylor down with en» sweep of her powerful paw. and when he attempted to rise *o his feet again he was once more brought to earth by a righ* swing. Taylor then drew his revolver and fired a blank cartridge at Duchess wth th© idea of frightening the vicious beat The shot did not work with the desired effect, however, and Taylor was forced to sit down for the third ttec Five times did Duchess mak- Taylor take t! c count of "ten." and he was about ! to throw up the sponge when Captain •Jack " and another trainer. Henry Falken dorth, who were outsid« the arena among the spectators, and were attracted by the revolver shots, went to Taylor's assistance Seizing stout iron bars, they rushed into the runway, and after a desperate battle succeeded in dragging Taylor away from Duchess The lioness was then driven Into the arena, waere she took up her proud position on a pedestal, constructed for that, purpose Taylor was then earned into the arena within plain sight of ths spectators, and Dr. Roff. of the Dreamland emerg-ncv hospital, was called to attend to his hurts. It is said that he will recover from the mauling he. received After this experience most of th* cro-*» d of fifty thousand persons who made the f-ip to Coney Island's sandy shores busied themselves in trying to find something to wet their palates with, and from the wav in which corks were popping and glasses of the foaming substance disappearing it was judged that the majority were successful in their search As the crowds vert thickest on Surf avenue, about 3 o'clock, the attention of everybody tvas distracted by the sight of a young woman being led through the streets by Pa'rolman Bohmke. of the Coney Island station This in itself was o t po remarkable, as was the fact that the young girl was arrayed in the flimsiest costume and her face and hair were 'made up" with liberal use of cosmetics and paint brush. By her side walked an elder ly man. who ?a*d be was her father The trio made their way to the Coney Island police station, where the father lodged a complaint of -vagrancy against his daughter. He told the lieutenant on the desk that Rose Houseman, bis child, had been attracted by the call of thr stags and the white lights and had slipped away from her home on Tuesday last. He had searched high and low throughout the r-ity for her without success, until lie finally thought that she might have tried to get a position at one of the Bowery music halls on ron* I^' TslamJ Father's Search Rewarded. • While he was conducting his hunt for the lost daughter, and had almost given up hope of ever seeing her again, he was at tracted by the sound of a high and beauti ful soprano raised above the ceaseless din of the barkers. Some peculiar, familiar rote in the human nightingale's upper reg ister caused the father to peek bis head in the doorway of a music hall. He was rewarded by seeing his daughter on the stage, and the words she sang— "lf You'll Only Take a Tip from Me" gave him an inspiration. He hastily left the hall and found Patrolman Bohmke. whs ar tested the young songstress and marched her to *he station. She will appear in the Coney Island court this morning. The crowds in front of Dreamland w<re scattered to places of safety when a run away horse, drawing a four-seated car riage, took fright at a trolley car and bolted. The animal was driven by Albert Johnson, of No. 554 Atlantic avenue. Brook lyn, who has only one arm. Just as it reached a point opposite the Culver Depot the horse ran Into a delivery wagon and threw Johnson and Ms wife and hah; to the street. The child was badly injured and was treated by Dr. Noble, of the Coney Isl and Reception Hospital, and taken to that institution. The polW of the resort had Httle to do. as ther" was little disorderly conduct and few exHse violation?.

Church Asks for W. W. Ramsey's Freedom. [By Telegraph to Th» Trtbane.] Pittsburg. June s.— Colonel Samuel H. Church, prominently connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad and personal repre sentative of Andrew Carnegie at Pittsburg. has created a sensation here by his utter ances in reference to a pardon asked for former President W. W. Ramsey, of the German National Bank. of Pittsburg. H has forwarded a letter to Governor Stuart himself begging a pardon for the banker on the ground that he has been sufficientlr punished through exposure. Ramsey is known to be a poor man. and Colonel Church, in an interview regarding Ms letter to the Governor, does not mince matters in reference to lav- as now ad ministered, declaring that justice now "presents one law of tender and lenier.t compassion for the rich, and quite another law of merciless and exacting rigor for the poor." He cites the fact that rich Presi dent Em!l Winter of the Workingmen's Savings Bank and Trust Company under recent conviction was permitted to go to Europe under JoO.OCO bail, while next day a really sick man who had stolen only a little was denied the privilege of going to a relative's farm for a short time, but was hurried into prison on a long sentence. Colonel Church thinks that half the men now in prison should be pardoned imme diately, and that half the remainder should have their sentences shortened.
