A STRANGE CAREER ENDED. Story of his Welsh Connection and his University Scheme. trRf)X A SPECIAL COEKKSPONDENT. | Mr. Charles Groom, who in May. 1883, created ench a sensation in Honth Wales, where, under the title of Prince of Mantua. and Mont- ferrat, he promulgated a, scheme for the uuguration of a university for South Wales, I and promised £ 750,000 and further wonderful: gifts towards it, died about six weeks a.ge, and has at last been consigned to the prth, hia most ardent discip]ot; aad believers bavin; now lost all hope of that resurrection in the present body which he had prophesied some time before his death. HIS TITLES OR ALIASES. Charles Groom, alias Charles Ottley Groom' titie-s the Han. C. O. Groom-Napier. alias his Most Serene Highness the Prince of Mantna and Montferrat, alias his Most Royal a,nd Serene Highness Charles de Bourbon P'Este Paleslogus Gonzaga, Prince of Mantua and Montferrat in Italy, Prince of Nevers, Bethel, and Alencon in France, was the individual referred to by the late Master of the Rolls in his somewhat lngubrious pan—1! Mr. Groom was sever Prince of Mantua, never Prince of Montferrat, never Prince of Alencan, and never prince of Rethel, 89 he was bound to be a prince of ReTera." BIOGRAPHICAL PARTICULARS. Mr. Groom, or rather the person who has from time to time worn all these wonderful titles, died at the comparatively early age of 53, having been born at Tobago, in the West Indies, ia 1839. He was brought to England at am early age, and educated in Devonshire. By sorae means he was recommended to the late Lord Brougham, who took an interest in the lad, and brought him into connection with several ef the learned societies, and it seemed at one time that a rather bright career was before him. Lord Brougham, however, dropped àisprotége, and" Mr. Groom" led a rather precarious life for a considerable time. sometimes advertising advice to tkose about to marry for a fee of 30 stamps, and at other times lecturing on vegetarianism and such subjects at an admission fee of 3d. and 6d. It was about this period that he matured the celebrated pedigree of himself, in which he showed his descent from King David and King- Solomon, Woden, the God of War, Antennor King of the Cimmerians, and other less known personages. He also dropped the surname Groom," and went in for honours, and a little later the gold ooach episode occurred, and as the Welsh miners' address has never been in print before, it may be worth while to re-produce it in the Western Mail. It runs To Colonel H.M.S.H. the Prince of Mazitua and Montferrat, D.0., M.D., Ph.D., D.S.,Ac.,&c.,the friend of the poor. "Three hundred and fifty Welsh miners here record the generosity of your highness in driving them the benefit of your discovery of gold i» WaJes, and of your now ehemieal process of its separation from the ore; discoveries which might have enriched yourself beyond precedent in the British Isles, yourself beyond precedent in the British Isles, but which yon, pitying the poor miners out of work, and their families, sought to discover, and did dis- cover for their benefit, by which they have passed from poverty to affluence in a. few days, having raised goii to the extent of nearly a station. They thint your highness for your aage advice and help in obtaining long leases of &<: anriferoae land, and for the loan of mosey for the commenceTnejat of their works. In proof of their sincere thanks for your princely services, they üiEer you nuggets of pure Welsh gold, 4001b. weight, Vithte over £ 30,000, wrought for you by the kindness of their generous patrons into a gold State carriage, a sword of State, a chair of State of gold, and various gold articles of plate, depicted in the margin of this address. and Dr. Lloyd's Welsh precious stones gathered d-uring a century, some of which are used for orstamrvutiag the carriage and a gold tray. They thank ttwir patrons also for contri- buting the lapis Lazuli, the malachite, the amythysts, garnets, rubies, and diamonds used in decorating the buting the lapis huuli, the malachite, the amythysts, garnets, rubies, and diamonds used ill decorating the carriage with its coronets and the sword of State. "May God bless you and your good mother, the Grand Duchess. November 5, 1879." It was a few months' previous to the date of this address that" Mr. Groom" sought the help of the writer to induce the Marquess of Bute to allow the bed of the Taff River to he changed, and, says our correspondent- I can well remember the late Mr. Corbett's amusement when the scheme was broached to I him. and the way in which he eyed the pseudo- prince. If the gold carriage, Ac., could be got for the forthcoming exhibition, it would form a. good nucleus, failing which a few of the Welsh miners, who signed the abere address, would be worth seeing. In 1883, the Prince inaugurated the great scheme for the Welsh University, which was so ruthlessly smashed by the Western Mail, and so alienated the Prince's affection from Wales and the Welsh that he inserted in the antobio- graphy of himself, which he published in 1887, the following sweeping passage The trustees urged the Prince on no account to j put the university in Wales, it having been proved that there existed at Cardiff a. gang of conspirators who had approached the Prince with the view to getting him to settle the university there, but who were in reality plotting to acquire the money of the trust fund for selfish purposes, with no educational object. These persons conspired to acquire all the trust funds owned by the Prince, and then attempted to murder him. The object of these persons was to produce a forged deed and get possession of the pro- perty. These men had correspondents in most parts of Wales, and were the head of a socialist conspiracy. EnragedthatGovernmentgrants were still continued to Aberystwith College, the Cardiff people, through their local agents, destroyed that fine building by fire. Naturally the Prince was much grieved at the discovery of this wickedness, and I cided to avoid Wales, as it seemed to him that any buildings erected by him might share the fate of Aberystwith College." How completely the autobiography was refuted will be remembered when on his exami- nation in the bankruptcy-court he had to owx that he had no assets whatever, and owed for several years' board and lodging. His delusions were taken advantage of by some of the bolder kind of ragues, and it will not be soon forgotten how Celonel Hughes-Hallett came down to Wales under the name of General Jenkins, and the use he made of his disguise.

BETTING NEWS. Proposal to "Blot" it Out in Sheffield is Rejected. By 37 votes to 24 the Sheffield City Council on Wednesday rescinded a, resolution adopted at a previous meeting ordering that the betting Bewa in the newspapers supplied to the public reading-rooms of the city be blotted out. A three hours' discussion on the subject took place. No less than 170 memorials were received from various religious and temperance bodies urging the council to adhere to their former resolution on the subject.

A LEGATEE'S PITIFUL TALE. Entitled to Two Thousand Pounds and yet is Destitute. A remarkable application was made to the Birmingham stipendiary on Wednesday. An elderly respectable woman told the magistrate that under her husband's will she was entitled to £2,000 invested in a London bank. The trustees made an arrangement to pay her 30s. a week, but since June she had received nothing. and was unable to find the trustees, one of whom was a London solicitor named Webster, who, she believed, had retired from practice. She was now destitute. The Stipendiary advised the woman to go to the workhonse, and allow the guardians to investigate the matter.

SIERRA LEO HE BLUNDER. French Official Account of the Seeend Incident. A Renter's telegram from Paris on Wednes- day says :—Tbe French official version of the recent collision between the British and French forced in the Samu country, on the border of the colony of Sierra. Leone, has now been received- The information relates to what has been termed the second Sierra Leone incident," and has no reference to the more serious affair at Warina. The intelligence is conveyed in a r dispatch from the Governor of French Guinea to M. Maurice Lebon, Under-Secretary for the Colonies, and is to the following effect. The British police came and established themselves in the village of Compon, near Benty, situate in the province of Samu Samn, which is reserved to the French influence, in accordance with the last delimitation. They came to requisition, by force, the inhabitants of a village belonging to France to construct a road. Our Militia native police, being immediately warned, proceeded to the place, where they were attacked by the English native police. A French policeman was wounded and disarmed. Five natives from the British territory were killed.

At Merthyr Police-court on Wednesday Mary Evaus wa.s committed to the quarter sessions on a charge of obtaining from the Leeds Boot Company. at Dowlais, a pair of boots, by falsely pretending that she had been sent to fetch them on approval by a Mrs. Fenwick. The prisoner was admitted to bail.

TALE OF THE SEA. Terrible Experience of the Ship Port Yarrock. A melancholy interest attaches to the wreck of the Port Yairrook in Brandon Bay, already reported is our columns, by reason of two letters received by Mr. W. M. Baines, of Bell Hall, York, from his son, William Philip, who was senior apprentice oa board the vessel, and among those who lost their lives. The letters form a sort of diary, describing both the outward and the return journey of the Port Yarroefc. The second mate of the ship was T. C. Keefe, of Cardiff, and the only other Welshman on board: was an ordinary seaman-J ames Evans, Aberayron. "You will be surprised and wonder," says the lad in a letter, copies of which his father has sent to Lloyd's, to the Board of Trade, and to the "Times," "bow we managed with the following orew-namely, seven. A.B.'s, two ordinary (one of whom has never been to sea before), and six apprentices, I being the only one tilat was at sea be&we. It is a devil's game to work the vessel. At night one A. B, at the wheel, one at the look-out, which has to be on a vessel over a certain tonnage; then on deck there are two A.B.'s, and three boys who have never been to sea. I am one of the two A-B.'s, but I am not a man, so it is one man and four boys on board a vessel with something like 5,000 yards of canvas to take in if a squall strikes her." In the aecond letter, writing on December 20, when "homeward bound," in 1st. 20 S., long. 28 W., he mentions that they had one hand less than on the passage out. Oi> October 7 the steward committed suicide by blowing out his brains with a revolver. It was said he had clandestinely disposed of main of the ship's stores; anyway, after his death the crew were put on short rations, and tho-c of very inferior quality." Further quotations from the letters are as follow: — "Christmas Eve, at eight, the main sail ripped from foot to head, and I was up on that yard repairing it from twelve to two Christmas morning. We were running, her course being N.E. by E., so had plenty of rolling and water Oll deck; during the day the two topgallant sails and the upper topsail came in two. We had peasoup for dinner, it being Monday; the peas were raw, so it was not, on the whole, a very happy day. Hail arid rain are cold companions at the wheel. This apprentice Gardiner is in a. very bad way, and will be a. goner if we do not get home soon. As yet I myself am well, though weak; the food is not of the sort to put strength into anyone. We have had very good weather considering and I hope it continues to be so for none of us feel com- petent to work the ship in bad weather. It is a job for ail hands to swing the fore yards round in altering ship "January 21st. I am now writing on Sunday in Brandon Bay for which place we were compelled to run for shelter and food. From January 1st to the 21st we have had nothing but gales after gales. January 2nd a S.E. gale blew could not make channel and the 8.E. gales continued till Sunday 7th. I shall never forget that night. We were hove to under T. lower topsails foretops mast storm spanker at 9 p.m. the Spanker booms goose- neck carried away and the boom came down. She was one mass of water from forward aft. We could not take in the top-sails fearing to start the sheets lest the sails burst away: a terrible sea was running and I at times thought we would be done for. At 2 a.m. all hands on deck-Main lower topsail had started and left the ropes all the weather side. .J1.mt as I got on deck, crack, crack, and the fore lower topsail is not to be seen. Nothing but the leach ropes left: here was a go—we tried to take in wha.t was left of the main sail and here up on that rigging for 4i hours having now no sail to steady her, she rolled frightfully. Vast bodies of water coming on deck a. tarpaulin was put up in the mizen Egging to keep her head to sear-but what a sea—Cape Horn is a fool to itt At the Horn the sea was true and big rollers but here it was cross and twisted not giving a vessel a chance. By this time we had drifted N. of Cape Clear. Thank God we were not in the Channel. We started to get S.W. gales W. gales and could not get to windward of Cape Clear. On the 15th the skipper had us aft, and said that we had no grub. My God I was hungry wet and cold he would run for the Shannon for shelter and food so away we want before a S.W. gale. On Tuesday at 12 o'clock we sighted land and at 4 o'clock we had to tack the ship the wind having shifted 6 points. We thooght we were gone here: we were just 4 miles off the Shannon. The Captain nearly dead and aH hthnds either lame or foot -are, hungry, no food aaid worst of all on a. Lee shore. We were told to get more sail and try and drag her off. Meanwhile we were sending up rockets, blue lights &c for a. pilot and tow boo*. The Skipper fell down on the poop through exhaustion and we all felt very gltun. There a-re only the 6 sailors myself and Eaton on our feet under the 2nd make. We loosed the mainsail and two upper top- sails if ever a ship sailed, we sailed that night. If any of the sails had gooe we would have made the rooks. You could not stand on the forecastle head, it was one mass of wafter- nor hardly crawl along the deck aft: while I was at the wheel I was washed off my feet the 2nd mate hanging on to it, so as each squall passed over Mr. Keefe said that we should never see daylight again which is not very comforting. Well, we managed to clear the headland by about | of a mile or so and next day the storm abating somewhat he tried for Donegal but the wind coming from the N.W. we were again frustrated but we had a try to weather Cape Clear and were only 30 miles off when a. S.W. wind would be fair up Channel when the wind shifted to the S.W. blowing a fearful gale. On Thursday at 4 a.m. a sea struck her forward smashing the boat on the Port side and bursting the side of the house in. Here was a go—our house full of water. We managed to get the sick joker out of his bunk but we could not get him aft: our chests were all swamped and everything in a mess. We patched up the side with blanket and canvas and it is now a bit draughty but that is all. Well we were fearfully hungry and to make ktnd would be running to an early grave. On Friday the Skipper told us that the food would last 2 days and he would try and make Brandon Bay. Well on this day the mainsail burst and the 2nd mate received a blow from the sheet on the head laying him unconscious I for 4 hours. He also hurt his leg from the fall: he had been picked up off the deck. The Captain is nearly dead through anxiety and the cook who is attending him had 2 fainting attacks yesterday, through overwork, not Imving been asleep for 8 days. Saturday we made for land at great risk (N.W. gale) and at 4 p.m. managed to get in passing so close to the headland that the backwash off the cliffs struck tile ship. I have given you a sort of idea of Brandon, the dotted line being the track of the vessel. We were all very thankful when we arrived in here and a. boat came off to show us the anchorage— 6 fathoms water. It is blowing fearfully hard now and it is comforting laying at anohor after a. good dinner of potatoes. They are very kind the people here: it is only a small fishing village and the women have been making bread last night for us while we have eaten about 4cwt. of potatoes which I hope will do the scurvy people good. The 2nd mate is now laid up: the carpenter also: the mate is stiff in every limb: one of the appren- tices has salt water boils on his feet—the other 3 are scurvy stricken and all the men complain of stiffness and swelling, bad mouths &c. The sailmaker is groaning in agony. This fellow Gardiner I think will never get well being too far gone. There was not a. drop of medicine or the food to give him. The skipper has gone ashore to the nearest town Traiee or Dingle to let the owners know we are still among the land of the living. It is a wonder I think considering the number of men and the vessels cargo. Eaton is swollen in the legs but he and I are the only ones aboard that are not disabled. Wheilier this letter will be able to be posted here or not I cannot my. It is a long one and badly written but if Leo is at home he ought to read it as my penmanship is excellent to him I hope—and have been often anxiously thinking that ye ma-ma is in a bad way but she will be cheered now she gets word of us: where we will go from here or how we will go is yet unknown: there is not a sail on the ship to stand any weather and we all want a re- cruiting. Give my love to ail." The conclusion of this melancholy story has already been told in the "Western Mail." The vessel was beating about off the coast of Ire- land for 22 days before being brought, with the help of local fishermen, into Brandon Bay, which is an arm of Tralee Bay, exposed to northerly winds. In reply to a message from the captain, the owners tele- graphed that a. tug would be sent from Liver- pool to tow the disabled vessel to Antwerp. The captain declined local offers to take the ship into harbour, amd decided to wait for the tug; but by the time the tug arrived the weather, which had moderated for a time, had again become so tempestnoue that it was then found impossible to prevent the ship from going ashore, and eventually she went to pieces, and all on board were lost. The state- ment, however, that her crew numbered 25 seems to be inoorre-ot, the total apparently being only twenty. Mr. S. H. Byass, J.P., presided over an enthusiastic meeting of Conservatives held at the Assembly-rooms, Aberavon, on Tuesday afternoon. It was unanimously resolved to form a Constitutional Club at Aberavon, and a strong committee was appointed to carry out the project. -r

CONTRACTING OUT. A Weteh Member Supports the Oppo- sition in the Commons. The great falling off in the Government majority in the division on Mr. Cobb's amend- ment to the Employers' Liability Bill, post- poning contracting out, was due partly to Glairlstonian defections and partly to the fact that a considerable number of Nationalist mem- bers were absent unpaired. In the division on Mr. Cobb's amendment Mr. W. MTjaren, Sir B. Hingley, Mr. Higgins, Mr. Channing, Mr. Broad, Mr. Kearley, Mr. Grove, Mr. Maodooald, and Mr. Bryn Roberts (Glad., stonians) voted in the minority with the Oppo- sition, some because they were hostile to the idea of a three years' limitation, and some because they objected to any compromise in the matter. Mr. Addison (Conservative) sup- ported the amendment. Sir H. James abstained. As did about half a dozen Gladstonians, and' Mr. Hutton (Gladstonian) was accidentally shut out from the division.

SMALL-POX IN CARDIFF. The Dteoovery of a Case en the Hamadryad. On Wednesday evening Dr. Hughes, the medical officer in charge of the infectious hos- pital at Cardiff, informed one of our represen- tatives that the sailor admitted into the institu- tion was suffering from small-pox in its earliest stage, but the pustules had developed suffi- ciently to leave no room for doubt as to the nature of the malady. The ether small-pox patients under treatment were fast re-gaining convalescence, and would be able to leave the hospital shortly.

HORSES AS HUMAN FOOD. Poverty in one of the most Extensive Cities in Europe. The Standard Vienna, correspondent tele- graphs that an official return just issued shows that last year no fewer than 18,209 horses were slaughtered in Vienna for human food, or about 5,000 horses more than in Berlin, Hamburg, and Breslau together. It is only by such occasional returns that a glimpse can be obtained of the poverty prevailing amongst the humbler classes in Vienna, which is one of the most expensive cities in Europe.

DEAN FOREST COAL TRADE. At a meeting of minors held at Blakeney on Tuesday evening Mr. G. H. Rowlinson, tbe agent, said they had been having good times, but he was sorry to admit that within the last few days trade had fallen off, and the amount of work done was nothing like what it was a month ago. It seemed to be the case that some of their men got the idea, when trade fell off, that that was the occasion for certain men to be weeded out, that was to say, that the butty men con- tinned to work all the time, whilst others had to play. The principle of the association was that whatever the work was, it should be shared alike all round. The association would again deal with it, as they had in the past, and he had given some of the managers to understand that some measures would be taken to ensure that, as far as practicable, the men should have an equal share of the work.

NEWPORT HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS Newport Harbour Commissioners met on Wed- nesday, Mr. J. Lawrence in the chair.—It was reported that the harbour and gridiron dues for January amounted to £ 383, as against S301 in 1893.—The river and harbour during the past month (the Harbour-master reported) had been entirely free from casualties, and the Chairman thought this was a matter for concratula.tien,- The dredger committee reported that they bad accepted the tender for the supply of a steam- tug of Messrs. Mordey, Carney, and Co. (Limited), at £2,800, and Lloyd's fees (not exceeding £25) in addition for classing the tug 100 Al at Lloyd's also that they had accepted Messrs. Mordey, Carney, and Co.'s tender for two 350-ton barges at a oost of £2,500 each.— Upon the suggestion of Mr. T. E. Watson, sup- ported by Mr. T. Goldsworthy, it was decided to name the new tug after the chairman of the commissioners—John Lawrence.—The chair- man thanked the members for the compliment paid him.—A communication was read from the Duke of Beaufort appointing Major E. L. Lister as bis representative.

CRUELTY AT CYMMER. Foster-parents Shockingly Ill-treat a Child. On Wednesday at Pontypridd Police-court (before Mr. J. Ignatius Williams, stipendiary Dr. H. N. Davies, and Mr. T. Jones) a man named Lewis Jones and his wife Hannah who reside at Cymmer, were charged by the Cardiff Board of Guardians with wilfully and cruelly ill-treating a. little orphan child, named Adelina Battestini. Mr. George David (Cardiff) prosecuted, whilst Mr. James Phillips (Pontypridd) defended. The child, who is about fourteen years of age, was an orphan kept until last year at the Ely Schools under the charge of the Cardiff Guardians. On the application of the defendants to the guardians the child was sent to them for adoption on the 29th of May, 1893. In consequence of what had been said by a. man named Chapman, the guardians recently sent up their warrant officer to bring back the child.—The little girl, Adelina Battestini, said that in December sbe was sent by the defendants to the tips at Cymmer to pick up coal. She was not compelled to go every day. She used to go to bed about half-past nine or ten, and in the mornings she was told to get up between half-past four and five to call the male defendant to go to work. She used to light the fire and warm his tea. then do the housework—clean the two kitchens, the pas- sage, and the baok. If the housework was not done by the time the male defendant came back she was thrashed. During the month of December she had often to go to the tip at halt-past five in the morning. She had to get two loads of coal before breakfast, which she had about nine. The coal was carried in a sack, and if the sack was not brought home full both defen- dants used to beat her. On the Friday before Christmas at half-past five she had to go to tbe tip. It was a bitterly cold morning. She had an old cap on her head and an old scarf around her neck, but no jacket, and the old feet of stockings to cover her hands. The male defendant had sent her out that morning, and Mrs. Jones told her that unless she brought two loads she would be thrashed. Two men saw her on the tip that morning, and she was sheltered by the fire. Her bag was filled by the tippers that day, for they took pity on her. She carried five loads that day. A few days before Christ- mas she was dressing to go out, when the male defendant told her to work, threw her on the floor, and kicked her; and at another time he struck her twice with a walking-stick, which broke whilst he WM beating her. He also used to beat her with a strap. On two occasions she was compelled to stay up all night to knit, and that without a fire. On being cross-examined, she admitted that she had told some people that she was not ill-treated, but added that she did this because Mrs. Jones told her if she stuck up for her she would not be beaten nor sent to the tip any more." She had also written two letters to the guardians, saying that she liked to stay with Mrs. Jones but she had been "put np" to this by the female defendant, who sat by her and made her write what she had.—Dr. H. Naunton Davies said he examined the child, but found no marks or bruises upon her. She was in a fairly good condition. When asked if she had been beaten she said "No," and when asked if she would like to go back to Cardiff she said .c No."—Several witnesses having been called to corroborate the statements of the girl, Mrs. Jones, one of tbe defendants, denied having beaten the gixl. She had often scolded the girl for telling lies. The girl used to go to the tip of her own accord. Witness had never sent her out in the morning, and it was untrue that the girl had written letters at her instigation. She had never seen her husband beating the child, and the child never, was out of bed before half-past seven in the morning. With regard to the bruises seen on the girl's shoulders, these had been caused by a blow given by a boy on the tip.—Lewi3 Jones, the male defendant, swore that he never beat the child nor sent her to the tip. He had often told her not to go to the tip, but she said sbe preferred going on to the tip to doing the house- work. He further denied any ill-treatment. -The Bench believed that, although there was no corroborative evidence regarding the bruise on the shoulder, there was no doubt that the sending of the child to the pit-top on the cold, raw mornings of last winter could be termed a wilful and cruel ill-treatment, which gave the child unnecessary suffering. Each defendant was fined E2 10s., including costs, or in default one month's imprisonment.

ROYAL COMMISSION. The Adjourned tnquiry into the Welsh Land Tenure. The Royal Commission upon Land Tenure in Wales will resume its meetings in the Prinei pality on March 6. The Commissioners will during that week hold several meetings in Pem- brokeshire, and will on March 13 commence taking evidence throughout Monmouthshire. The Aged Poor. The Royal Commission upon the Aged Poor met again on Wednesday at the House of Lords, the Prince of Wales attending. The Commissioner, examined Mr. Thomas Pitkin, of Swanbournes Bucks,-and Mr. F. J. Ladd, of Sellinge, Kent, and afterwards adjourned to Tuesday next. The final report is meanwhile being prepared by Lord Aberdare.

HIS CONTRIBUTION. Among the many contributions of proof, as a result of personal experience, as to the value of Warner's Safe Cure in diseases of the liver, and the general debility and weakness which ensues, the following is worthy of considera- tion. Mr. G. Hall, of 15, Carlton-sfcreet, West Hartlepool, writes:—"I have suffered from biliousness and liver complaint from childhood, and have tried several kinds of medicine, but they gave me but little relief, until I was persuaded to try Warner's Safe Cure, and I can truly say that I found relief from the first few doses. When I feel out of sorts Warner's Safe Cure always puts me right. I have found it invaluable. About a year and a half ago I sustained severe injuries to my head, through an accident, and the pain was severe; but. a few bottles of Warner's Safe Cure soon relieved the pain and restored me to health and strength. I would advise all sufferers to give Warner's Safe Cure a trial; they will never regret it. I take every opportunity of recom- mending it to all my friends." [1.0212

SUICIDE ON THE RAILWAY. Finishing a Revotting, Cruel, and Wicked Existence. A man committed suicide on the railway at Redhill on Wednesday evening.

The Beautiful Myronel. I A TALE OF LOVE AND BUSINESS IN SUNNY ..¡mas. Two years ago the Rue Ba.b-Azoun (a ehestaut tree in miniature), .Htua¡,o 1 in the French quarter of the pictures- city of Algiers, contained an elegant 1 :idresser's shop, the window of which exhibited a beautiful blonde head, with shiny tresses of golden-brown hair, languishing eyes, and half-parted lips, seeming to await but a kiss to warm t)>em into ardent life. Dra.ped •t sides and back with dsep crimson hangings, lighted only by the tempered flame of shaded gas-jet* ranged along the gia.«sas' edge, suggestive of the footlights of a. mimic •t&ge—here, for an hour every day, this ebannmg half-smiling countenance peeped fco« the folds of the sombre drapery like roguish child playing hide and seek with the passers-by. It waa the striking Christ- mas novelty of Algiers in the advertising line, and the trade of the coiffeur so much locareftsed thereby, that it really looked a>- if the police would be sometimes required to aøk the crowd of Spatus, Chas^urs, Arabs and eVeii Ethiopians to move on. Naturally the French members of the Army and Navy tfah, on the Plaoe du Gouvernement, stroll- btg by daily on route to the club-roms, were arinue by the sight to a. point of absolute authoaltksm. Cards and billiards even g-ave plaee to discussions of the beauty of this engaging figure. "So ideal and yet so human, with her lovely eyes, dimpled chin, rosebud mouth and adorable retrousse nrAse," declared en- thusiastically the tall, handsome Marcei. of the Tenth Cuirassiers. "So ideal, yet so human. I say, t-hat if I didn't know that it was a wax figure—but, see here, Leopold," Maroel broke off suddenly, turning to addrees a man lounging carelessly in a. corner by the window, wrapped in reverie and a cloud jot tobacco smoke. "You are a judge of veaaty, women's beauty particularly. Benoist, yonder, cracks up the figurines of Vienna, ud I swear by those of Paris. I'll wa^er lam five hundred franes blmt you agree with si "Dona," said Bemitit; "dona, Marcel. ffefc vwur money. The figurine of the Jwn BaJb-Azmm is pretty, I szma** hvt "But as I haven't seen the figove in the Rue Bab-Azoun yet," objected Leopold in his deep, lazy tones, "some ooe ewe must stand as referee in the issue between you." "Not seen her yet, the Christmas attrac- tion in Algiers? Inorerlible-I Rktieukms He must go at once, this very moment, a.nd flatten his nose against the coiffeur's winoow," said Maroel. "Moreover," he added, "I'll go along with you. I newer tire of staring at that adorable bead." Leopold carelessly and laughingly assenting, the two friends descended the club stairs, Benoist and the others agreeing to await their return, and arm-in-arm they turned their steps towards the hairdresser's shop in the Rue Bab-Azoun. When they arrived there they found the window empty. "Well, by Jove!" cried Marcel, "wuo would believe it? That little figure has her hours like a. swell iadv of fashion. Never ipkid, we 11 go in, perhaps we'll get a close view of her. It will spoil the charm, no doubt, but still we'll go in." "Into this shop you mean?" "Precisely, into the shop under the pretext of buying something. Ah a happy thought, a capuchon; a c&puchon, mon eher, like that which bedecks the head of the figure." The shon was guarded by an elderly female, majestic but polite. "Madame," Marcel began, "passing your window to-day, I saw a certain style of headdress, and I am charged with a oom- mission" "Yes ?" murmured the woman, interro-! gatively. o "Do von think you will be able to pro-' cure one for me?" "Monsieur has not yet told me exactly what he desires." "True, true. My mind has wandered into other worlds. It was a headdress I saw. I am not clever at giving names to feminine objects of weai, but it was a lovely head- dress." Marcel said all this in a jerky, staccato, absent f;ishioo, as if his ritimi was quite in anotlyer direction. The attendant listened with marked deference and then said: laeoawpw-, I besets to usijstec- staod; but the style of headdress, please?" Oh, oapuehoa, I believe you call it. "Corn-colour, or ivory-white, monsieur?" "Jfoitber, madame; it was a delicate blue ton a head. I saw it in tbe window there, bttt which now Marcel remarked, his i«fes roving from side to side. "I do not see it in the shop anywhere." "Bat I know, monsieur, what you re- qaipe." "Then, roadame, if )IOU'll be good enough to show us the bead, weTi be able to tell you at Nice. "Quite unnecessary, monsieur; we can find it without tivat; besides the bead to which monsieur refers is absent at tnis moment." Absent! Mftdame-the bead?" "Yet, monsieur. It is being-being dressed, you know." "\Z!ery well, tbea, weH watt and see 5." "That wit! be melees, naoosielur; the head will be seen no more this evening; but the engravings of the styles are bene, FH get them for you, and I am sure" "No, the mere fashion plates won't do at all. I could ten nothing from them; we'll come again later on when the bead is here." And not staying for furt,her argu- ment, Maroel and Leopold departed. "Well?" njtd "\VeH?" rose in a chorus from all the tables when the friends re- turned to the club, a little crestfallen at their bootless errand. "We didn't see her. She's gone to bed," they asserted. Before separating that night Maroel and Leopold made an engagement to meet again before the ooiffeur's window at seven o'clock the following evening. This time they were sure of not being too late. "Positively, Leopold, she's prettier than ever," Maroel cried, excitedly, when a few moments later his friend arrived. Marcel had oome first and awaited the other. "A little more colour, perhaps, than when I saw her last; the eyes, too, a trifle more languishing; but did you ever in this world see a figure as pretty as this ?" "Not 00 lifelike, either," Leopold assented, stirred for once from bis usual stolid calm. "Why, the very nostrils seem to dilate and the lips actually to smile, as. if about to speak. What perfection of mechanism." "And presently," Marcel continued, "if we wait long enough we'll see her walk. She is only on view for an hour; they told me aoont it to-day. When the gas is extinguished the figure melta, a6 it wwv. The gas comet; up again, and pout !—Mkp the stage of the tbeatre --the wadev ia, eawur. agama, < And, as Marcel had said, presently down went the gaa; it flickered feebly, came up again, and the window contained only the velvet drapery. Not only the c+ub, but all Algiers, as one sheep follows another over the fenoe until the whole flock has passed, talked of the charming wax figure in the Rue Bab Azoun. But the eagerness of the oity changed nothing in the habits of the hairdresser's shop; the preity head, in her coquettish capuchon faced with a delicate shade vieox-rose, showed herself neither more nor tees often in her orimson and crystal caging, amd, worse than all for the curious ones, when they entered the shop and de- manded of the majestic shopworn an a nearer view of the wonderful image, she answered firmly and invariably that the key was not in her possession, and blandly pointed to the Alide of the room, impenetrably inclosed to the oeiling behind stout wooden panellings Marcel made up his mind one morning, and, entered the shop with a whimsical deter- mination to purchase the beautiful object of his desire, no matter at what eoet. The atten- dant sought to seil him everything in the shop but that which he had come to purchase. Marcel was not to be turned from his purpose. "No," he said, "it is the head I want. It is a superior work of art, and I'm willing pay handsomely for it." The saleswoman declared that she had no authority to negotiate such a sale. "To whom, then, madanie," persisted Maroel, "shall I address myself?" "To the master, monsieur; though I warn you it will be useless, for be will not part with it." "We shall see; and when can the master be seen ?" "Impossible to say, monsieur. He goes out every morning and does not return till late." "But he surely returns for meals, does ha not ?" "Not at all. He lives at Mustapha Su- perieur, three miles distant, and comes only to the shop occasionally." "What is his home addressf" urged Marcel, persistently. "Out oi the question, monsieur. I am for- bidden to disclose it," was the reply. Maroel was not to be balked by trifles. He took up his stand in a cafe opposite the hairdresser's shop and waited. About twelve o'clock he saw a little becurled, pomaded, undersized creature enter the place and begin to move about with the air of the master. Maroel quickly crossed, entered the shop, and stated his business. The coiffeur did not receive the officer's desire with an expression of pleasure. On the contrary, he said, "If such outrageous, such indiscreet steps OOB- fcinue, I shall close my shop immediately, HI'WWIT TSLNTTAAT httfftn). IIKi I by dIuh in every capital in Europe with-with my head-never, I repeat, have I suffered befon a persecution that equals this. But, monsieur," urged Marcel, "yew look at this matter in an odd fashion. Allow me a word of explanation. You are a tradesman, and possess an object that I faaegr, and I offer to buy it. What could be simpler —particularly as I am willing to pay whatever price you choose to ask ?" "And I tell you, m'sieur," returned the enraged little man, "no matter what price you offer, my—my 'object,' as you call it, is not for sale." The case was hopeless. Maroel departed in no amiable state of mind. The beautiful figure was regularly in her place for quite a week or more, when the window was empty, and, stranger than all else, it remained empty. Comte Gaston Leopold, too, bad strangely disappeared, and was to be fotmd neither at home nor at his club, nor at the theatre, nor any place tha.t he frequented. Marcel inquired for him of friends, and besieged the servants who answered his door. "M. le Comte has left Algiers veJi sud- denly," they responded, "without saying where he was going or how long he would remain." A departure like this natumJly led to many comments and suppositions. But in Algiers one thinks only of those whom one meets every day, and forgete in some degree those that one does not see. A month passed, and then one evening at the club Maroel and Benoist's waged- upon the coiffeur's wonderful figure brought up the sub- ject again. "But she's there no more, you know," declared Captain Rochefort. "What, gone for ewer someone asked. "So it seems." And so eventually it proved. The window was re-arranged now and filled with a. mis- cellaneous collection of all sorts of things for a lady's toi let-fieh us, flowers, combs, brushes, perfumes, and buckles, but no pretty blonde head. "But she wasn't there always at-first, Roche- fort, you know," cried a voice at the back, "only occasionally. Perhaps we miss her" "No; she has departed," said Rochefort. "I've watched and waited; it is a toW eclipse. De-uoed hard, I take it, for that pretty face was a. mascot to me. When I stopped to look at her and she seemed to smile upon me I had invariable luck at piquet and baccarat." "And as for me," remarked another, "when she gave me a look" This waR too much. Disturbed in his game of cards the old Comte Clairville brought the chatter to an end with a sharp rap on the table. A wax figure smiling and gazing at passers-by '■ Pooh what rubbish Not to be tolerated for a moment in a. serious game of piquet. Marcel a,k>ne remained thoug'ht- fnL mA juuet morning he betook hiranrif iw the cafe that once before had served him as an observatory. The window opposite was still minus the figure, and appeared not even to expect one; the place once graced by the beautiful bead was otherwise occupied. Watch- ing and reflecting over this strange turn of affairs Maroel suddenly saw coming and going in the shop the little ooiffeur; but, heaven! wae it really he or only his shadow? Tfae little man had aged full ten years. He was neither powdered, pomatumed, nor curled. His costume even betrayed a eareless air, and the shopwoman watched him as though dntorbed ia her mind. Marcel, moved by ouriosifcy, crossed the road. The ooiffeur recognized him instantly. "I would like to. speak with yon privately, monsieur," begaa Maroel, "if you can spare a moment." "With pleasure," the ooiffeur mournfully replied, promptly leading the way into an apartment at the back that was filled with boxes of hair. "Excuse me, Monsieur," said iw- apotogeti- eaily, "for bringing yoII here, but I guess what you are going to say, and sus I cannot speak without weeping I-I do not wish to be seen from the outside." "Certainly, oertadnly," Marcel returned, seat- ing himself like a man who this time intends to have his say out; "you received me rather brusquely the other day, when first I ap- proached you; but bygones are bygones, and I wish to know what has become of—of her." "Ah, monsieur," cried the ooiffeur, inter- rupting him, "how right you were She was beauty incarnate, she was life, she was love. If she seemed so enchanting to you, a mere outside observer, imagine then what she seemed to him who had conseora.ted himself to her— who had passed his mornings in decking and dressing her, in combing and brushing her magnificent tresses, his days in adoring her, his nights in watching her peaceful slumber! Monsieur, I am a. lost man! There is no consolation for a sorrow so profound as mine. But speak, monsieur; what is it you wish to say ?" "Only this," replied Marcel. "From what you have aaid, and from your empty window, I take it that you have been robbed—that the head once in your possession has been stolen. Well, I'm a plain man, and go straight to the point. You will have to repiaoe her, and I want you to order two instead of one. I suppose she came from Paris ?" The coiffeur stared like one bewildered. "What do you say, monsieur ? Two instead of one ? You are ignorant, then ? You do not appreciate the extent of my logs." "On the contrary." Marcel responded cheer- fully, "I do appreciate it fully, and respect your^soiTow, but since you ha.ve been able to fiud one you will surely be able to find others. MtiMt ia cmmwqaM* <aMCM<ttMML it it D"r-, The coiffeur paused a. moment with emotion, and then began to talk breathlessly. "Mon- sieur, you do not understand. I discovered her, so to speak, not so very far from Paris. She was then only sixteen years old. She bad resided at the beautiful suburb of Fon- tenoy aux Roees, where she was adored by all the young men and even admired by the women, who, strange to relate, were not jeal- ous of her beauty of face and form. I paid her the most devoted attention—homage would be tbe more correct word, perhaps—and at last she protested tbat sbe returned my affec- tion. In short, we loved each other and I seemed to live in an ideal paradise. She assisted in making my fortune, too. I was jealous, and she—she delighted in being well ooiffed, well dressed, and to show herself. Mon Dieu I what eke could one expect ? She saw feat die ravished all eyes, and I permitted her to show herself in all the new fashions. It pleased her so much to be admired that she would ha.ve passed most of her life with- out moving had I allowed 'her, but at the end of an hour I made her retire." The little man brushed away a tear and then continued: — "Moreover I watched always near her. How she did it is incomprehensible; there, with- out speaking, without stirring, through a great, thick, glass, how wu it possible to arrange an elopement ? Well, monsieur, that is what has happened. One night, instead of entering the carriage that came every evening to take us to our comfortable villa at Mustapba, she sprang into another beside it and drove off like mad." He took breath and continued, "I am a lost man; it is more than ten days now, and I have discovered nothing, noi' have the police that I set on her track. I feel I shall die, monsieur, before they find her." Maroel began to put two and two together; the dear little figure gone: Comte (iiston Leopold gone, too; both of them gone at one and the same time. Tbe head that had smiled at one, that had gazed wide-eved at another; the soft, dreamy, Madonna-faced, ideal, humpn-like, coiffeur« model of wax. "Monsieur," said Marcel at last, slowly and impressively, "which of us has lost his senses? What have you been talking about ? Who the devil was the figure in the window V" The coiffeur threw up his hands with a gesture of resigned despair. "What, you don't comprehend me yet, mon- sieur!" said he, "though I've told you clearly. The figure which you desired to purchase—'the beautiful figure in my window, I repeat—was— was my own wife, my darling, my adored, adorable Myronel. Now do you understand ?" Tableau. At the olub that night nothing was discussed but the exciting incident, and ail agreed that no humaa being ever posed so gracefully, so immomblv luut with xiaixuiw U&omefaoib as the wonderful model supposed to be made of wax. How Leopold had so adroitly ar- ranged for their flight was his own well-kept secret. The shop is still in the Rue Bat- Azoun, but the window does not attract the crowds it did when it contained the attractive life-like figure of the beautiful Myronal.

TALE OF A FAITHLESS CAT. The refrain of the song, "And the eat came back," became a reality in the home of a prominent hardware dealer of Pittsburg. The little daughter of the house formed a. strong attachment for a. kitten, which the rest of the family abhorred. It was one of the standing household problems how that cat was to be got rid of without hurting the reelings of the child. Finally an opportunity pre- sented itself. The family was going to close up the house and visit relatives in Philar delphia, so the father went to the little one and said, "Nellie, we are going away, and can't take pussy with us, but we will send her to Chicago while we are gone." At find, the child protested, weeping bitterly, but was finally persuakied after being told of the wondere pussy would see in the Windy City. The family, after spending three months tn: the Sleepy City, returned home. The little daughter scarcely had her wraps removed when, while looking out the window, she waa heard to exclaim, "Oh, mamma, here's my kitty oomo home from Chicago." She rushed out and soon appeared i?) the room with an animal which might have been a cat once, but by parsing through -adverse circumstances looked much the worse for weat1. H w:t3 without a tail, sore-eyed, and minus half ita coat of fur. The family tried to persuade the little girl that the animal she h-eio. wqA not her own. but a tramp e"-t; but to no avail. She persisted that it was her cat come bade, and said she was going to nurse it until it got well and another tail grew on it. Th. family is now tolerating the new cat rat-hef than wound the affection which the little one has for it. -u_u
