PRINCE I)E (VaLANTHA. THE MAN WHO 19 TO MARRY THE JERSEY LILY. I.lka Mrs. Langtry II* Has Hail Matri monial Ki|url»urM of Ills Own A I’rniwlaant Sportsman Whose llorwi Ara Wall Known on Kogllsk Tracks. HINCE Esterhazy dn (lalanthu, who, It la announc >d, will soon lead Mrs. Langtry to the al tar, ’ la a noted character in Km ope, although not well known in America. He l» prominent In Aus tria and Is very favorably known at the court of bin totintry. Tho Jeratty Lily la prover bial for her partiality to sporting men, and It will lit! no surprise, therefore, to suy that the prince la one of the foremost horsemen of Europe. Ilia racing stock Is well known on the tracks of the continent, and his Income Is suflli’iently large to make the heat bloods of I’arls Jealous. Prince Paul, for that is his Christian name, la de scended, by an odd dispensation of fate, from the earls of Jersey. Ills mother wus a daughter of the fifth earl of the Island of which Mrs. Langtry has been Justly called the Illy. Both parties to the proposed match have rot been without experience In the way of matrimony. Mrs. Langtry's his tory and adventures In that respect are very well known. It Is different, how ever, with Prince Paul. It Is not known, In America, at least, that he has been twice married. Both of his wives are dead. The second was a prin I’RINCB DM OALANTIIA* cess of Croy, who passed away lu 1889. Prince Paul's son by his (lrst wife Is now fin officer in (he Austrian army. Mrs. Langtry's prospective husband is M years old but it Is said that he does not look or fee) his age by twenty years. His marriage, like that of his namesake In the comic opera may pro voke no end of comment in continental journals, but, with his coveted prize won, It Is highly probable that this veritable Prince Paul will care little what the "confounded Journals’’ say about him. Mrs. Langtry's recent di vorce leaves her free to wed. Whi«tl«r ami Irving. Many of the pictures of Whistler, the artist, are vague, both In treatment and subject. The public may be par doned for not understanding some of these pictures after hearing the fol lowing amusing anecdote of the paint er: One night Whistler dropped Into Sir Henry Irving's rooms to dinner. Other guests were present, but Whist ler alone was silent. Two of his land scapes adorned the walls, and appar ertly he wanted no further entertain ment. Every few minutes he would Jump up from the table to get a better view of his own work. At length, after a prolonged examination of these stud ies in moonlight and moorland, he »»»**. > , • i • < O, a* >w »* nm» you've done!” "What's the matter?" Inquired Ir ving, calmly walking up to the pic tures, "Matter," thundered Whistler. "Why, the matter Is that these pictures have been hung upside down, and you have never notices! It. I suppose they have been like this for months?” "I suppose they have." replied Ir ving. "But I think I might be excused, since It has taken you—the man who painted them over an hour to dis cover that they are upside down.” Fur • Life of lioml Work.

"You see (hat I haven't a particle of rheumatism," said the man with a florid face and a voice that was Intend ed by nature for campaign purposes, j says the Detroit Free Press. "I feel like a 2-year-old. Never have an ache or pain. Don't pay a particle of alien lion to east winds, rains or changes In the temperature. Kat three meals a day and sleep like a top. A year ago I went around smelling like a bottle of home liniment. One time I'd he on criltehes. Then I'd have an arm drawn all oul of shape or a shoulder that waa ! of no earthly use. The last spell I had was with my hack, and I was about ready to throw up the sponge. What , did 1 do for It? Everything under the : sun. I had horse chestnuts In every | pocket. I carried potatoes till they j petrified. 1 ate lemons until I was an Hour aa I looked. I took more klnda of medicine than you can find In any one drug store. I was In a boiled state for six months from hot baths. I was massaged Into a pulp. I traveled 300 miles to have the disease charmed away and had It worse coming hack than I did going. One day I met a little old man that must have been 100. lie was as spry as a kitten, yet assured me that from the time he was 50 to 70 there was nothing of him but rheumatism. Even his hair ached, lie advised me to steal a dlshrag and rub myself thoroughly with It every morning There was no virtue In the treatment unless I stole the rag. I would have robbed a hank to get relief. One afternoon I slipped through the back door of a house Into the kitchen, grabbed a dlshrag and started to limp away. A 200 pound hired girl let out a Tipperary screech and took after me with a mop stick. By the time she had clouted me once or twice I wan running like a professional and at the end of half a block I was out of reach of her weapon. I've never had a twinge since. I don't know whether the hired girl, the pounding, the run ning or the dlshrag cured me. I'm rather disposed to think that the rheu matism was scared out of me," A SELF-MADE MAN. Trraaurrr llulmrli W»» Oaia a "Devil' for u Country I'aper. Kills Henry‘Roberts, the new United States ti easurer, began life au a com positor in the office of a ci/untry news paper. The various steps which he took upward from the "devilshlp" tc Uncle Sam's counting room were made wholly by his own personal effort. In his early youth he entered a printing office and while learning his trade not only supported himself but secured a thorough education. He fitted for col lege and was graduated with the sec ond highest honors in the class of 185b at Yale. In 1851 he became editor and part owner of the Utica Herald and for thirty-five years controlled the policy of that paper, having in the meantime become the sole proprietor. During all this time he had been more or less active in politics. He served as delegate to the Republican national conventions In 1864, 1868 and 1876. In 1866 he was elected repre sentative to the state legislature. Four years later he was elected congress man and served two terms. In 1889 he was appointed by Harrison as as sistant United States treasurer at New York and during the subsequent four years he directed the subtreasury at that city. Mr. Roberts has found time to write several books. He has been honored by Yale and Hamilton, both j < ' I I ELLIS H. ROBERTS. l of which institutions have conferred upon hint honorary degrees.

He loves fried ehieken letter than a hound dog loves pot II- j I nor. He drinks his whisky straight 1 tnd he pulls off his hat to every lady hat he meets. He run play the fiddle, te can ride a horse bareback, and he an follow the hounds until the horn ilows for breakfast the next morning. He knows the difference between a horoughbred and fetlock stock, and be worships a blue eyed baby with a de votion characteristic of the mountain rtan. He ran talk, he ran sing, he •an fiddle, and he can cut the pigeon's wing. He is breezy and he Is bright. By a peculiar accident Taylor was •lected to the forty-sixth congress. He was then to fame and fortune unknown He beat Pettlbone, a carpet bagger from Michigan, not by his own strength or he strength of his party, but because ils brother Alf took the stump for him. n congress Taylor was a general fa vorite.

He got more notoriety be muse of a speech made by Genera) •tragg of Wisconsin one night when lome pension bill that bad been fath ered by Taylor was up for discussion Ilob was clef'.’101 two year* later by Pettlbone. Then he returned home and wan nominated by the Democrats for governor. Ilia opponent on the Re publican ticket wax no other than hi* dtHtlnguiahed brother Alf. It wa» called the war of the rosea, and had the contest occurred a half century ago It would have been the most picturesque event In American politics. Alf made a great race, but waa defeated. Then he went to congress and made a better reputation there than his brother who had preceded him had made It |* hi* ambition now to be a prosperous farm er In Hast Tennessee.

The successful man waa Jackson. H< has had the senatorial fever ever since that day. It waa for this that he ran for governor the Ural time. It was for this that lie took the nomination for the same office last year when he really did not want It. As a word painter be has no equal In Tcnrieas"'.

Bragg gave Bob i cruel blow, and it took the Tenues ieean a long time to recover from it. n the course of his remarks General ilragg said: "I regret much that my luty as a congressman requires that 1 ippose the passage of this act granting i pension to this poor soldier who was ihot to death with chronic diarrhea in .861 and never found it out until 1881."
