MERRY MEN ABOUT THE
THRONE OF KING GEORGE.
lIel<l*Cger Confronted by HU Houhle -
Trlrk Practiced In South America at
Carnival Time Sir KrancU ll»ih*iHid'i

PRACTICAL joke
may be defined as
one In which merri
ment in produced or
nought, not by
words but by
action, practiced
upon a fellow-crea
ture commonly an
offensive or an
noying action, says
the London Stand
ard. Even If harmless it holds up the
sufferer to ridicule, and Intelligent hu
man beings do not need to he told that
uuch '-dbduct Is reprehensible. But If
the Joke be well contrived, sufficiently
humorous In Idea and neatly executed,
we do not care so much as we should
If It fall tinder the “practical" class.
Who would not have liked to be pres
ent at the royal masquerade when Hei
degger, master of tile revels to George
II., was confronted by Ills double? The
duke of Montague had obtained a cast
•of the gieat man's face. Prom this he
caused a wax mask to be fashioned
and colored. Heidegger’s tailor sup
plied h facsimile of the new and gor
geous dress he was to wear, and the
duke engaged an actor to play the part.
He told the bund ut the last moment,
to strike up "Charley Over the Water”
at hi* majesty's appearance instead of
“(imt Save the Kiue " Thev hesitated.
Hut It was Indubitably Heidegger fea
tureless, voice, clothes and also Impre
cations when the conductor demurred.
Ho the king heard that treasonable air,
perhaps for the first time, on entering.
We can faintly Imagine the tumult.
Heidegger rushed to the hand, struck
the conductor, set him playing "God
Have the King" and rushed hack to
apologize. Next moment he returned
to the orchestra, equally furious that
Is. his double returned ordering the
hand to resume "Charley Over the W'u
fer,” and the bewildered musicians
obeyed.
There w'as never such a scene In the
presence of royalty. The officers of the
guards in attendance made a dash at
the hand with swords, hut those In the
secret blocked the way, Heidegger,
dancing round the king, made Inarticu
late protestations and excuses, while
his majesty stormed and threatened,
making for the door.
The situation became perilous. Ho
the counterfeit stepped forward cry
ing, with passionate indignation: "Hire,
the devil has taken my likeness to un
do me. Cook at him!” Heidegger saw
his double, gasped, gibbered and fell
senseless. One may think that longer
and more complicated ''business" might
have been developed from such an in
genious hoax, but for a dramatic situa
tion of its class this could not he beat
en.
In some parts of Houth America good
.folk store all the glass ami crockery
broken in the twelvemonth and at ear

THE KING OF SIAM.
How He Will Visit England and How
the Queen Will Entertain Him.
The King of Slam, hts majesty
Ohulalongkorn I., intends visiting Eng
land during the coming summer—not,
as has been stated,-in oonnectlon with,
the record reign celebrations, for which
he .will hardly be In time, but for an
extended stay. The king will make
the voyage In his yaoht, the Maha
Chakri. a vessel of 2.500 tons, con
structed for him at I-elth by Messrs.
Kamage & Ferguson, nearly four years
ago. This handsome and commodious
! vessel carries six 4.7-lnch guns and
about a dozen small quick-tiring guns.
She will be commanded and navigated
by two English 'naval officers, (’apt.
Cummlng and Lieut. Saunders, who
have been lent by the aumlraliy for
the purpose. The services of LllJUt.
Walsh, late R. N„ have also been se
cured for the trip, On his arrival In
this country the king will be received
by the queen at Windsor or Osborne.
The visit of the king of Slam to Eng
land will he an especially popular one
for two reasons. In the first place, his
majesty, who Is a man of about forty
five years, la a cultured monarch and
a munificent patron of the arta, science
and letters, although he did not huve
the advantage of an English tour In
his youth, as has been stated. Sec
ondly, Slam Is, in some respects, al
most as English as If It were a British
colony. More English Is spoken there
than any other foreign language, and
most of the trade Is In the hands of
Englishmen. England and Englishmen
are looked up to and respected In Slam,
and Mattered by the proof of sincere
admiration — Imitation. Mis majesty
reads English well, speaks It a little,
and understands It perfectly. For
many years past he has sent numbers
of relatives and friends to this country
as students, and all have done extreme
I.. .....II I..a t V. .. iJ I ..... ...... em .
al family have been educated at Har
row, at Oxford and at Cambridge. One
of his majesty's nephews Is now being
educated at Woolwich as a cadet In the
Itoyal Military Academy there. And
one of the king's own sons Is preparing
for the navy at the Greenwich school,
and will be admitted to the British
navy when he Is fit for It. This prince
has already earned distinction and
British affection by his deeds ‘UL-Ui!''
football field. As an Instance or how
apt the Siamese are at adapting them
selves to our civilization, one of the
students sent over by his majesty and
put on board the Conway, the training
ship at Liverpool, not only became the
captain of the crew's football team, but
absolutely won the hearts of all who
competed against him, under the Mar
quis of Queensberry's rules, for his de
votion to science. He afterwards did
good work on the Centurian and the
Imperleuse In the Chinu squadron.
I King Chulalongkorn, who is coming to
\ Kngland to familiarize himself with
1 British customs, will reside In the
j neighborhood of lamdon, and will
probably remain In this country about

INDIAN SUPPLY DEPOT SECUR
ED FOR OMAHA.
linos* Adopts th* Conference Keport —
Allen Amendment Htaye on the In
dian Appropriation Hill—Con
gressman Mercer's Ooud
Work.
The Indian Supply Ilepnl.
Washing!!hi special to tin* Omaha
Itec: Omaha won a notable victory in
the Indian supply depot matter,
through good generalship, tile help of
friends and a united Nebraska delega
tion. The victory Is remarked as tie
Ing brilliant in character, in view of
the formidable opposition which has
seemingly been growing stronger ever
since the amendment directing the
secretary of the interior to establish a
depot for Indian supplies at Omaha
wus attached to the Indian uppropria
tion bill. After tile house had refused
to concur in the senate amendment re
garding the gilsonite lands on the l ie
reservation the debate was an once
started on the Omaha amendment in the
hill, Sherman of New York, who had
Ih'cu the most oiits|s>ken opponent to
the measure, telling the house why
this amendment should not be concur
red in. He gave wuy to Curtis of
Kansas, who lias beep a wapn friend
of Omaha throughout the fight. Curtis
made a rattling good speech, citing
the generosity of the people of Omaha
in donating rent free a building for
the use of the government for five
years. He showed the advantages the
city possessed iii being able to handle
supplies of this character and the
numls'r of Indian trils-s that would
benefit, by the location of the depot ill
Omaha.
Cook of Illinois, who openly boasted
ttiut he remained in Washington to
Ih-uI the Omaha amendment, was given
time to tell why Chicago should con
tinue as the great head center for tills
branch of the government.
Simpson of Kansas wus at liis best in
supporting the amendment, which lie
did in a tlve-minute talk, showing,
among other tilings, wliat a saving it
would be to the government should
Omaha secure the warehouse. Inci
dentally, lie spoke of the I'liion I'aciAl
and its relation to the government,
covering buck into the treasury half
of its earnings to pay obligations. lie
argued that the establishment of the
depot in Omaha would be in the inter
est of the people, saving them from
taxation, etc.
Mercer was then recognized for d
sjicrcii mui was nrimiuiug over won
gi««l points, designed to catch votes
which were forthcoming. lie spoke of
tile work in conference, how it hail re
ceived the support of five out of six
conferees, and the careful considera
tion which had heen given the subject.
Kcviewing what had I teen said by his
op|>onent», he read a clipping from the
Omaha Hee. which showed how double
rates were eiiarged on many commodi
ties bought in Nebraska, sent to • 'hi
eago. and then hack to Omaha for
distribution, lie made the bold state
ment that the depot in Chicago was
used as a convenience for that city ami
Illinois rather than the Indians and the
northwest: that, the maintenance of a
warehouse in New York cost §?2,f>#H
annually, and Chicago SI.I..TM. hut
thought that Omaha would materially
reduce both these figures, which ac
counted for opposition of those places.
Throughout it was a tactful presents
lion of Omaha's ease, and made a good
impression.
The vote for concurrence stood .It to
47, |t Was such a signal victory that it
Uuzcit uic Illinois and New York dele
gations, and on coming to inquire
reasons found they had been hypno
tized be the west. While \fercc r
showed himself a most finished adept
in securing votes, too much credit can
not he given tile rest of the Nebraska
delegation, which labored unitedly for

ELECTRICAL TRAVEL.
Womleri Are HHiik Areompllftltetl in
ThU A|«.
It Is only proper and natural that the
greatest railroad-building nation should
lake the lead in electrical traction, and
with conditions unrivaled fo rexperi
ment and practical demonstration we
would be unworthy the distinction con
ferred upon us by struggling ancestors
If we did not sustain our reputation,
tays the Chautauquan. In converting
our steam lines, cable and horse car
/oads Into electric railways the ques
tion of obtaining the power from cheap
and abundant sources is paramount.
The success of the Niagara people
opens up a Held heretofore existing
merely In speculation, and It has had
the effect of stimulating others In orig
inal investigations and experiments
to obtain power from similar sources.
Vague rumors have been current to
the effect thut capitalists were on the
point of organizing to convert the pow
er of the Missouri, Mississippi and
other rivers Into electrical energy. It
lias been estimated that the tides of
the North und East rivers exert a
power many times greater than would
be required to light the whole metro
politan district and to supply heat for
the buildings and turn the wheels of
all the railroads and factories. The
question of collecting and storing the
power seems to be the only debatable
purt of the subject, and this Is being
seriously considered by Inventors and
scientists. A tidal hater plant has
been established at Bower's Cove, near
Providence, R. I., where experiments
are now being made to convert the
energy of the tides Into electricity. It
Is anticipated by the promoters of the
enterprise that power, light and heat
cun be supplied to all mills, traction
companies and private houses In Rhode
Island at less than one-half the present
<ost. It niuy be many years before we
shall succeed in harnessing the tides
along the two great oceans that wash
our shores, but tl^ey are sources of such
an endless amount of power that the
world will not be satisfied until they
are controlled or their utility proved
futile. The conversion of the energy
exerted by the currents of our great
rivers into useful power Is limited only
by the question of initial expense In

BICYCLE BUILT FOR TWO.
One of TIkmii Was it lim-ii Parrot. but
ll Knew Hour to Klib*.
Pedestrians stared, horses reared up
on their hind legs with fright and
wheelmen turned their heads and
risked their neeks In an effort to see
when the latest bicycle girl rode down
llroad street yesterday, says the Phila
delphia Record. She was a "girl" in
l he sense that she was single, but she
hail evidently been so for nearly fifty
years. Her costume was a marvel of
antiquity, but It was not her own per
sonality nor her bloomers which at
tracted the most attention. On the
handle-bar In front of her a green par
rot was perched. The bird s feathers
were ruffled by the wind and Polly
seemed to be enjoying the ride im
mensely, for she chattered and
squawked and flapped her wings at a
great rate. There was a string tied
to the frame of ri,.. — 1.^1 ami at the
other end of the line a small dog was
securely tied. The little animal chased
along as best he could, barking enthu
siastically. The big reserve policeman
at Broad and Chestnut streets mo
tioned to the rider to stop.
"You’re on the wrong side of the
street." said he. "ivw* *• •• In or

not nave been molested if her husband

• Well, why don't you bring him
along?” said the reserve.
The lady blushed and replied, quite
pathetically:
“I have none ",
“Well, run along, little girl," said the
good-hearted policeman. "Heap year
will be here lu seven years."
So she remounted her wheel and rode
off.

GOODMANSOVS CASK
THE ALLEGED MURDERER MAN
GET ANOTHER TRIAL.
A Chanco In Public Opinion Since tbr
Verdict Was Rendered—The strong
Sentiment That Was Worked
I p Among the Feminine
Attendants
Prospects for Another Trial.
Ponca dispatch to the Lincoln Jour
nal: Interest in the Dr. Joseph Sydney
(•iMxitnnnson murder ease and the prob
ability of Judge Kvuus grunting the
defendant a new trial is waxing
warmer daily. As stated in former re
ports from here the verdict of guilty
was a great surprise to the great
majority of the male citizens of this
vicinity, while till* ladies seemed to
want 1dm convicted. Since the veriiiet
of guilty, sentiment has been chang
ing. apparently, and since the ladies
have had time to come down to a level
of more mature thought, and have got
ten away from tin* incident excitement
of a murder trial there seems from the
rumors in circulation that there has
occurred a revulsion umong the fair
sex against the verdict und a general
favorable sentiment arisen.
There seems to have been a strong
sentiment worked up against (luod
malison among the ladies und the rea
son of this is accounted for by some by
reason of the fact that the state
brought a vust number of |x*rsons to
Ponca to In* used as witnesses, many of
whom were not used, und they were
llstributed uroiind among the private
families to bourd during the trial und
as they were antagonistic to the de
fendant they succeeded in arousing a
bitter antagonism against tile doctor.
The court room daily was overflowing
with ladies and the opinion is freely
expressed here that the mental intiu
encc overcame the jury to a degree.
This opinion is held by Judge IE. K.
Kvans, as he so stated to several after
the verdict was returned. It is thought
that should a new trial be granted
that Judge Kvans will issue an order
excluding ladies from attendance upon
the trial. The jury sat for days inhal
ing this feminine antipathy and if
there is anything In telepathy it. cer
tainly had a good chance to get in its
work.
it has come out since the trial and
from indisputable sources, from the
brother of the deceased wife of tilt* de
fendant, that the fainilv blood of the
deceased is tainted with melancholia
and that her uunt was sorely afflicted
in that regard.
The motion for a now trial will come
up for hearing soon. The consensus
mill I « • al ll * **111 Jgi«***'
new trial and many of those who
wanted to see the defendant convicted
now want to see him get a new triul.
There lias come to light since the
verdict was rendered several sensa
tional mutters in relation to some of
tlie jurors. M. Donlan. no doubt one
of tlie most highly respected and well
reputed person in this county for
truthfulness, lias voluntarily furnished
the defendant ii sworn statement that
la* hud hud several conversations wltli
one of the jurors, giving his name,
and that the juror had at all times ex
pressed himself as against tlie defend
ant's innocence. Donlan further
swears that on the 30th day of April.
1 HUT. being the first day of the term of
court at which the trial was had. and
