The financial condition of the Duke of Teck is truly deplorable. Not only has he lost his wife, who was kindness itself, but with her goes all means of support. He is too old to start out in business for him- self, and, considering his family connec- tions with England's throne, it would be infra dig., if he had the strength or ability to start for the Klondike or the African diamond mines—so what is poor Teck to do? The decent thing would be for his daughter of York and his daughter-in-law of Westminster to contribute to his preper maintenance, or the queen, without ing anything to her subjects, shou!d pension him off from the privy purse. But human nature is the same the world over. Sons and daughters in all grades of society have grudged the “allowance” when the_ time came to make one. Papa or mamma ‘can come and live with them, but, really; what is the use of keeping up another establish- ment, you know! What shall be the fate of this maternal grandfather of “kings to; ag an awkward question for the royal faintly to settle. He may be offered a sky parlor in that royal warren, St. James’ Palace; or his brother-in-law, the Duke of Cambridge, might take him, until one of the two Teck boys secures an American heiress; but, meanwhile, if he has any of the finer feelings, he must be avery un- happy man. —_—_+e+_____ Had a Right to the M. D. From the Detroit Journal. The following blunder occurred recently on a Canadian river steamer: A lady passenger was taken ill in the night; the doctor’s assistance was required, but tne steamer did not carry a member of the profession. The list of passengers was read through in order to discover whether there was a medical man among them, and, sure enough, there was the name of James Thompson, M.D. The stew- ard quickly ran te the berth and aroused the occupant by several vigorous blows at the door. “What's the maiter? Is the boat sink- ing?” came from within in a startled tone. “There's a passenger ill, aad we want ur assistance, doctor,” replied the stew- “What sre you playing at?" growled the voice. “I ain't no dottcr!”’ “Why, ‘M.D.’ maner -ell, E cam put them letters after {tif I ike, can’t I?" said the M.D. “That's my trade; I’m a mule driver.” “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers, you've got after your . TEST OF SOUTHERN CHIVALRY. How Charleston Women Sent Food to Major Anderson. From the New York Times. Rev. Dr. Henry Van Dyke tells two sto- ries that are illustrative of what is some- times called the “chivalrous sentiment” of the southern people. “When I was a child,” said he, “my fath- er took me with him on a trip to Charles- ton, S. C. It happened to be a period of intense excitement—early in 1861. The state authorities had recently passed the ‘ordinance of secession,” the citizens of Charleston were wrought up to a high pitch and Major Anderson had been shut up in Fort Sumter. I remember my experience at that time as vividly as if I had passed them yesterday. One of them was in con- nection with the historic incident of Major Anderson's defense of the fort against the southern guns. “The fe tu as troops were almdst desti- sions, and it was a question io how long they could hold out. It was well understood in Charleston that any at- tempt on the part of the United Sta reprovision the garrison would be re: by force. There stood Anderson, with his handful of men, under the stars and stripes, facing starvation or surrender— possibly annihilation. Around theol d brick fort, rising sheer from the bosom of the were ranged the batteries tha Matters were in this critical ju I had the privilege of witnessing a marvel- ous act of chivalrous and tender sentiment. “I observed one day that a number of small beats were putting off from the docks and making for Fort Sumter, where lay the beleaguered federal troops. My as- tonishment was redoubled when I learned that the women of Charleston had laden these; boats with provisions of all sorts, from substantials to delica and luxuries, and were actually sending them to the sol- diers whom their brothers and fathers were irying to subdue by starvation or by shot and shell. [ afterward learned that Major Anderson was very much liked by the wo- men, and, indeed, by all the people of Charleston, but it struck me as quite re- markable that even the near approach of war and the necessity, felt by all, of the capture of Fort Sumter from the federals, Were not sufficient to suppress the chivalry and hospitality of these people. “As the boats were pulling out I looked into them to see what kind of food the ladies were sending to their enemy. There was every delicacy that could be found in the market, and I can remember now how nice I thought the dainties looked, how I should have liked to taste some of them, and how { wondered what an impression such a gift under such circumstances would make upon Major Anderson and his mi hortly after the sending of these pro- visions to the beleaguered fort by the wo- men of Charleston the men of Charleston, trom their batteries on Morris. Island, fired upon the Star of the West, which was en- gaged upon a similar mission. Charleston would not have allowed the federal major and his garrisen to starve, but it was equally determined not to permit the Unit- ed States government to provision the fort. The distinction was clear enough, and the presence of war itself could not hold in abeyance the obligations of hospitality. “I remember just as vividly another ex- perience in the south. Shortly after the war I was in Virginia with my father, and he took me to see Gen. Robert E. Lee, who was then at Washington and Lee Univer- sity. I don’t think that I have ever seen @ man whose great personality impressed me more. General Lee was one of the few men I have seen who seemed to me to bear upon the brows the unmistakable stamp of greatness. He was exceedingly courteous and Kindly. It occurred to him at once that I, who was a boy at the time, might enjoy a ride on his war steed. So Traveler was brought oul and the general placed me in the saddle, and for a few moments I sat upon the horse that his companionship in march and in battle had made famous.” ————-+e. Three Millions for Violets. Frem the New York Herald. The violet season lasts from November to April, and during that time New York eity spends $3,000,000 for the dainty flowers. The vast quantity of violets that this rep- resents can better be appreciated when it is known that they would pave the entire length of Broadway from the Battery to Herald square. After the violet comes the rose. The rose is probably least affected of any flower by the caprice of fashion. The rose is always in fashion; it is the great staple flower. Yei there are fashions in roses. The Amer- ican Beauty is now the most popular. This rose has brought itself to the front by sheer force of enterprise. It has crowded out its rivals and forced them to take a back seat, simply because it grew faster and blossomed oftener than any of them, and thus brought in more of the yellow gold to the florists’ coffers. It has almost completely put to rout that the La France, which enjoyed such a pop larity only a few short years ago. But the American Beauty must look well to its laurels, or they will be wrested from it by a new Richmond known as the President Carnot, which was introduced about two years ago and which already gives promise of great things. American Beauties sell at from $5 to $10 -a dozen, according to the length of the stem. They are extensively used, as heretofore, at dinners, receptions and balls. PRINCES’ CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Children of the Kaiser Are Taught the Value of Money. From the Ladies’ Home’ Journal. The royal children have exchanged gifts chosen with much solleitous deliberation at a well-known toy shop. Any one happen- ing to be in the shop at}the time might have seen the empress tnter with her children, each provided with his own purse, and completing his purchases aside so that the others might be surprised. The young- er three princes demanded the advice of their mother in their selections. The princes investigated everything, but upon inquir- ing the price generally found it too dear. “Three marks for this book rack?” th a glance into his purse, “No, that is too expensive. I haven't over seventy-five What can you give me for that And t shop girl proceeds to show the princes something quite nice for the required amount. * But now the brothers and sister hayc exchanged thanks for their-gifts: the first impetuosity of the Christmas rejoicings has given’ Place to a more tranquil examination and inspection, and ladies and gentlemen ef the court have made the rounds in a general state of admiration.

The Christ- mas celebration in the Shell Salon, the excitement and the rejoicings have ex é pro- duced their natural reaction on them, and at % o'clock even the elder princes are abed. —-+ 02 Wandering Freight Cars, From the Chicago Times-Herald, On December 25, 1896, Minneapolis and St. Louis car No. 3118 left Minneapolis with a load of flour, destined to Montgomery, Ala. It went through to its destination with reasonable promptness, about eight days. Instead of returning the car via the Same route as received, the Atlanta and Weat Point railroad started it on a series of diversions, and it has not yet reached home, although at one time it got as far north as Peoria, Ill. There it was turned back, evidently with another load for the south, as it was delivered to the South- ern railway on September 28. Since that time the owners have not been able to lo- cate it at all. It has made a trip to New York, Boston and Montreal, but was re- turned westward and southward via the same route, until it reached the southern lines, since which time it has been wander- ing around among the southern states. Auditor W. E. Lee of the Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf railway adds another to the stock of curious stories. K. C., W. and G. box ear No. 2028 left home loaded with long leaf yellow pine lumber July 15, 1896, he says. “It was con- signed to South Bend, Ind. It would seem that it had been two months in discharg- ing original load at destination, as it was in possession of delivering line from July 21, 1896, to September 20, 1896, when it was returned to St. Louis, and there loaded with grain for Memphis. Upon arrival at Memphis it would appear that the load had been reconsigned to Macon, Ga., then loaded for Atlanta. After several switch movements, it seems to have been suc- cessful in procuring a load for Pinners Point, Va., where it must have taken a month to unload, as it was in possession of delivering line over one month. The next load we have record of is' to Louisville, Ga. Since then it seems to haye been used prin- cipally in switching service, possibly with transfer freight. After ‘receiving records, I find from junction yeports that the car has been on nineteen es. It has been away from home 474 days, one line having it seventy-two days.” ———— 9 Glass Knobs From Mow mt Vernon. Washington Letter in Chigagp Record. On the posts of on| 9f the old beds in the mansion at Mount Vernon are small glass knobs with sockets drilled into them, which fit little spikes, but, dp not fasten on. It is perfectly naturalj for (isitors to Place their hands upon the knobs, and those who do immediately percetve that they can be taken off. The next step is to slip them quietly into the pocket and carry them away as relics of thé satred place. Al- though an attendant {employed to watch this room there are so many visitors that it is impossible for him to prevent such pil- fering, and the glass knobs have to be re- Placed two or three times a week during the busy season, but it costs very little trouble and expense. A factory near Pitts- burg turns them out for 30 cents a gross, and Mr. Dodge is in the habit of ordering a barrel of them. every spring. There are several thousand of these glass knobs seat- tered over the world, in museums and pri- vate collections of mementos and _his- torical relics, Many more are doubtless concealed for reasons of conscience and fear of discovery, but the guilty persons need have no concern, The original knobs that belonged to the bed are safely laid away in a vault, and if they need more of the same kind they can order them from the factory at Pittsburg.

JOHN'S Gallandet’s Foot Ball Team to Meet the Annapolis Boys. GOOD WORK DONE- THIS SEASON Prospects for Taking the Cham- pionship. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES ————; Gallaudet will play St. John’s at Annap- olis tomorrow, and the game will settle the championship of the intercollegiate asso- ciation. ‘This association embraces, be- sides Gallaudet and St. John’s, the Mary- land Agricultural College, Johns Hopkins and Western Maryland. The Gallaudet team is looked upon as a sure winner to- morrow, from the fact that Johns Hop- kins defeated St. John’s recently, while Gailaudet had no trouble in vanquishing Johns Hopkins. The Gallaudet team has shown up in fine shape this year and has gained a reputa- tion that reaches out of local lines. Gal- laudet scored on the University of Vir- ginia and has given every superior team that it has played this year a hard fight. The Gallaudet team has been laboring under difficulties ever since practice be- gan this season. Almost every day some one of the players was reported on the sick list, necessitating the playing of sub- stitutes; so that under such conditions it was almost impossibie for the team to get into good order. Lately, however, things have improved. The epidemic of sickness passed and the players seemed to take new life. Upon tho return of Captain W. Ros- son to his old place of left haif back, after a siege of sickness, a great improvement Was made in speed. Defensive work has improved, and the new backs were taught how to move rapidly and use their heads. W. Rosson, 's, is probably the best foot ball player Gallaudet has ever had. The star half back of the team for the past five years, he has few equals for dashes around ends or bucking the line. Waters was a new man on the team, but is a veteran at foot ball. G. G. Barham of Louisiana was also a new man, and before coming here had never seen a foot bali, but he took to the game at the start, and bids fair to be one of Gallaudet’s star players. Guilfuss hails from Pennsylvania and comes from the big school for the deaf at Mount Airy. He is an all-round good play- er and a strong, nervy runner. G. E. Fistev, also of Pennsylvania, holds down the end. He is a senior. During his freshman days he was regarded as one of the best ends on the team, but he received an injury which has kept him from play- ing until this fall. He is a good runner and conscientious player. Robert Erd, left tackie, comes from Illi- nois. He is also a senior. He plays a good Same at tackie and is a fine kicker. He has done almost all the kicking for the team. Roy Carpenter of Michigan is a member of the introductory class. He plays right tackle, and, while not a brilliant player, is a strong tackle. So far no gains have been made through him. A. D. Hodges, a sophomore from Texas, is in his old position of left guard. He has been on the team ever since he came to college, and is almost invincible. He is al- ways spoken of as the star guard of the team. A. Brooks, a junior, also from Texas, is the biggest man on the team, and makes the right side of center like a stone wall. He is also especially valuable in the guard’s back formation. He is one of the best ground gainers on the team. Andree from Michigan, a member of the introductory class, plays center, and morc than makes up for the loss of Smielau, last year's center. He is large but quick and snaps the bail back in a way that speaks well for a woman. His defensive work is good, and he bids fair to make one of the finest ter rushes the team has had. Of the subs L. Rosson, is the be Rosson, brother of W. He plays a fine game Sickness pre- t. man, but fine runner and tackler. W. P. Souder is the substitute tackle. is light, but strong and wiry. Robt.’ Hemstreet can substitute for either center, guard or tackle equally well. Braithwaite is another all-round substi- tute. He can play right end or tackle equally well. CLOSING UP BU He ESS. Minor Lenguers Say Uncomplimentary Things About the Big League. ‘The Eastern Base Ball League magnates finished their labors in New York last night. The question of the make-up of next year’s circuit still hangs fire and will not be decided for some time to come. It is more than probable that the Scranton team will not be included in the schedule. ‘The league concluded to leave the matter to the clubs for decision. This means that the Scranton team will go. The present owners are willing to sell. Worcester, Newark and Rochester are after the franchise, and it was said that the Newark representative would get the plum. The question will be decided by a trail vote. ‘The drafting question was discussed. No action was taken, but many uncompli- mentary things were said against the policy of the major body. At the recent National League mecting the Eastern League owners asked that the national agreement be amended so as to provide that not more than two players from one class A minor league club may be drafted in one season, and that no player shall be subject to draft who has not been on the reserve list of the minor league club for two years. The major league decided to accede to the request, but put in a clause whereby the big league may, after having negotiat- ed with a minor league club for the re- lease of a player, deposit the stipulated price with the president of the league and take the player. In case, after a trial of thirty playing days, the club decides to keep the player, then the president shall pay over to the selling club the purchase price, but in case the player does not suit the big clubs want the privilege of return- ing the piayer and put down the price agreed upon. it was said that the Western League owners agreed to this proposition, but a telegram from President Ban Johnson last night seems to set this rumor at rest. The telegram asked that the delegates sent to Buffalo by the Eastern League to attend the conference between the eastern and western organizations be empowered to vote upon the drafting question. This con- ference will be held within the next month. Arthur Irwin escaped the wrath of his brother “magnates” wfthout even being closely questioned as to the charge that his Toronto club was a farm for Washing- ton. No specific charges were made. The league voted, however, to enforce the rule against farming. The question as to the ownership of the Steinert cup for the coming season also résulted in,a victory for Irwin. The selection of umpires for 1898 was left to Mr. Powers, who was unanimously re-elected president for his sixth consecu- tive term. The following were elected to serve on the board of directors: P. T. Powers, E. F. Bogart, James Franklin, C. T. Shean, and George W. Cameron. Messrs. Irwin, Shean and Bogart were elected to serve on the committee on amendments to the constitution. The delegates to confer with the West- ern ie representatives will be chosen by Mr. Powers later. OUT IN ONE ROUND. Billy Gallagher Rests Danny Needham at Vallejo, Cal. VALLEJO, Cal., December 3.—The fight between Danny Needham and Billy Gal- Jagher was won by the latter in the first round. After some hot fighting at close range, Needham landed on Gallagher's jaw two or three times, receiving in return sev- eral body blows, and the men clinched. Needham made a swing at his opponent's head with his left and Gallagher responded with a stiff right on Needham’s neck, end- ing the contest. - Needham fell flat on his face and lay 15, 2, 85, 23, Sutton—7, 0, 1 9, 8, 24, U, O—1iv.

The seconds wait- ed a while and ther. urged Needham to rise, but he was down to stay. After the tenth stroke he was carried to his corner. There were cries of foul, but the majority of the spectators were convinced that Gallagher's blow was a hard bu: fair one. KID WILLIAMS KNOCKED OUT. Sharp Fis Encounter at Victoria, B. C., Last Night. VICTORIA, B. C., December 3.—The best fight that ever took place in this city oc- curred here when Kid Williams of San Francisco and Jack Green of Seattle met in a fifteen-round contest. Williams was knocked out in the eleventh round by a right cross under his eye, the fight being one of the hurricane order. In the first round Green floored Williams with a left on the jaw. The Kid soon re- covered, however, and until the eighth round had the best of it, doing all the lead- ing and getting in some effective blows under the heart? He was fighting unger a disadvantage, having injured his right in the first round and his left in the fourth. This gave Green an opportunity to recover and in the ten.u he got in on the stomach, which turned the tide in his favor. In the eleventh he followed up his advantage and put out his man. Both men fought cleanly. There was little clinching and no attempt at foul work. IVES’ BRILLIANT BILLIARDS. Defeats Sution and Runs 140, Beatt the Record. Frank C. Ives played George Sutton yes- terday afternoon in the sixth game of the chzmpionship bililard tournament at Madi- son Square Concert Hall in New York. He ployed in brilliant form and had scored his 300 pcints while Sutton was rolling up 140. The champion’s highest run was 140 in the fifth inning, and his average was 311-4. 3 By running 140 Ives broke the record. The score: Ives—9, 29, 16, GI, 140, 1, 2, 25, 6, 9, 49, Bw 0, 1, 10, 2 9, 33, 4, 0, foriy-seven games in public with twenty- four to the credit of the former and twenty- three standing against Slosson’s name.

It is a fact that the Cape Cod and Glou- cester fishermen no longer contine them- selves to “the banks,” but make long voy- ages to the African coast, and other dis- tant waiers in their efforts to secure good catches. The gradual decline of the mack- erel fishery on the American coast for the best three or four years has caused some of the skippe to turn their attention in other direction: says a dispatch from Provincetown. Capt. Josiah Chase, who has visited all parts of the American sea- beard in his schooner Alice, has decided to try another trip acress the ocean to the African coast in search of fish. In No- vember, 1889, the Alice sailed out of Prov- incetown harbor with all her colors flying on an exploring » along the South Afri- nd Open up new fishing grounds for mackerel. The whalemen who frequented had told fanciful tales of the mackerel they had caught in sight of while cruising off the Congo river in search Capt. Chase found the h Provincetown those waters land whal S true and that the cl the Yankee “bulls’ eyes, qtently caught during the summer month off Block Island. Capt. Chase made headquarters at Cape Town during his and fished in the harbor and ba: heavy winds that prevailed there mi the year rendered the water off th too rough to use the nes. He trere for nearly a year catching m and coast stayed authorities passed local laws w really prohibited his fishing with a se They required him to use a seine fourteen feet deep, which made it alm: useless ior the Yankee to fish, as a of that depth was only good fer a dr: net operating from the shore. But for these restrictions he said he might have made a good thing out of his trip, as the rail- road running: into the interior reached a number of inland cities where fish were a luxury. The crude methods then in vogue at Cape Town could only supply a drop in the bucket of their demand. After the laws were passed Capt. Chase started north along the coast. He stopped at nearly every port, among them being Port Alexander, where he got fifteen bar- rels of “bulls’ eyes.” He also touched ai Yosemeti, St. Paul de Leondo, Niger river, Cape Coast, Castle, Serra Leone, Deloe Is- lands, Goree aud Cape de Verde. Th weather all along the coast from the equa- tor northward he found generally fine, cx- cept when the rainy season is on, during July,- August and September. His head- quariers this trip will be at the French port of Goree. The many kinds of fish to be had along that coast furnish an extensive variety to choose from. Red snappers, the sume as are caught in the Gulf of Mexic« ard weighing from five to twelve pounds, are plenty, as are bluefish as caught in American waters, striped bass and her- rirg. In the bays and mouths of the riv- ers are plenty of salmon, but their meat is white instead of red like the American salmon. Spanish mackerel, mullett, same as those caught in Florida waters, sar- dine, herring, groupers, a fish weighing about five pounds and bearing a close re- semblance to the American codfish, and a number of other varieties for food abound. It is Capt. Chase’s intention, if the voy- age is not successful, to load his vessel with cured fish and_-run across to Brazil for a market, and then load north from there, or engage in any advantageous busi- ness he can pick up. After his arriva! in Africa’ the necessary number of native Portuguese fishermen, twelve, will be hirea at Cape de Verde to complete the crew. a ich only it German Papers in New York. New York Letter to the Detroit Journal. More German papers than of any other foreign language are published in New York, ‘the number being twenty-seven. Some of the daliies, like the Staats Zei- tung, are of wide circulation and tntluence and are as much entitled to be termed “newspapers” as any of the great KEnghsh dailies, since they spend money lavishly for news and pay their editorial writers well. Some others, such as the Volks Zeitung, daily, and the Vorwaerts (Saturday edition of the same paper), are chiefly of a propa- gandist nature, these particular journals being devoted largely to the spreading of socialistic doctrines. German labor unions have their organs, too, such as the Ger- man-American Butchers’ Journal, and there are many class journals, instances being the Amerikanisch Schweizer Zeitung, print- ed in German for the Swiss; the Belletris- tiches Journal, a literary weekly; the Medi- cinische, Der Techniker, a scientific jour- nal, ete. When the list was made out, there were thirteen offices from which newspapers and Periodicals printed in the Hebrew char- acters are issued, but, owing to the prac- tice cf getting out dailies, weeklies and sometimes monthlies from the same office, there are more than thirteen titles.

This is the age of things artificial. A palm manufactory has recently opened a salesroom on upper Broadway, and a huge sign lower down on the same thoroughfare notifies the mob that another store of the same sort will soon be ready for business. The artificial tree industry is compara new and it must be profitable. All over town one sees counterfeits. Many of the large stores, and most of the more prom!- nent hotels of this city, including some of those that are most tasteful in their dec- orations, now have huge palm trees in \.eir halls or entrances, and even in private houses it is not uncommon to find plants with removable leaves. The prepared palms, such as are used today, are in- finitely more real in appearance than tha old artificial plants of a few years ago. Many are so close in their resemblance to the live plant that ft is hard to detect them as imitations without close scrutiny. The leaves are real leaves, and not constructed out of enameled tin, Ike the old kind, and the fiber on the trunk is real fiber. It is only on approaching them and examining them that the leaves are seen to be painted and the stalks inserted into, but not grow- ing out of, the stem. The price of the man- ufactured article varies from 50 cents to $25 for the ordinary specimens, but some of the larger and finer ones amount to $50, or even $100. A small fen palm sprig of some fif- teen inches high is sold at half a dollar; a tree, such as those that are seen in the hails of hotels, measuring, say, nine feet high, and with about eighteen removable leaves, will cost $17. The sago palm is a more expensive variety, a tree of five feet selling for as much as $20. We may rail against humbug to our hearts’ content, but, somehow or other, the laugh is seldom on the fellow who fools us. + e-+____ Married the Wrong Maa. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A strange case of matrimonial duplicity has come to light in the district court of Woodbury county, Iowa. A woman of Sioux City discovered that she had been joined in wedlock with the wrong man, or at least not with the man she supposed she was marrying. In August, 1896, Emma B. Larson was married in this city to a man whom she supposed to be F. J. Schultz. learned that Schultz and nemed Julius Karash lived at Westfield, N.
