More ancient than that of any king

The name of the island is Yngs

It Is at the northern extremity of

It stands high out of the sea. a rocky

of a long career of successful opera
tions. At any rate , he had not been
here long when he married a girl who
is known at present only as Pauline.
This Pauline was an East Side girl
who had saved $500. It is believed that
Friedlander married her under the
name of Stein. He represented to her
that he was a planter in Brazil and
took her to that country. In a few
mpnths he returned without her , say
ing she had died.
Pauline returned to the East .Side
about a year ago with an almost in
credible story. She said that her hus
band , after taking her money from
her had sold her into worse that slav
ery in Brazil. That she had been kept
a prisoner for four years and had
finally escaped through the good grace
of a gentleman of wealth , who had be
come interested In her story.
After Friedlander's return from Bra
zil his movements were erratic and
have been but faintly traced. It is
known that he visited all the large
cities in the country establishing in
stallment-plan stores.
Women who married him say that
he was irresistible when he began to
make love , and the police believe that
he has the sailor with a wife'in every
port distanced , in that he 'has several
wives in every large city in the United
States.
The first intimation the police had of
the operations of Friedlander came to
them early in September , when a com
plaint was made by Rosa Mintzner of
Astoria avenue , Maspeth. Her story
"was as follows :
She married Friedlander , under the
name of Isaac Ruben , on July 29 , and
went with him to Boston. She had a
dowry of $200 , which she turned over
to him , and for a month they were
happy.
One day her husband shocked her by
announcing that he knew a woman
with $500 who wanted to marry him.
"Xow , " he is reported by Rosa to
have said , "you let me marry this wo
man and the first thing I will do will
be to get her money. Then we will go
to Chicago or Brooklyn/and have a
good time. "
Rosa refused to be a party to such a
scheme andi Friedlander proclaimed
that it made no difference to him ; h
was going to marry the woman with
> 5QO anyhow. At this point Rosa came
back to New York and told the story
of her marriage and its developments.
Philadelphia Press : "Well , what on
earth did he marry .for ? " "For sym
pathy. " "And he didn't get even that ? "
'Oh , yes , from his friends. "
bey are all that is left to remind the
people/of their founder.
On the southern end of the island
is a lighthouse 129 feet above the
water.
Like the old abbey , it too is archaic
and instead of the revolving light we
find in all modern lighthouses , this
beacon is equipped with a fixed light
which points the way through the
rocks and the currents to the harbor.
The lighthouse , however , is compara
tively a modern invention , having been
placed there about seventy-five years
ago by the International Navigation
company to warn its Dublin steamers
from the rocks.
The smallest kingdom in the world
is really a republic.
So far from being the purple-robed
potentate which we might imagine.the
present ruler of Bardsley island fre
quently strips down to his shirt-sleeves
and stoops to the proletarian labor of
digging potatoes and gathering crabs
which abound on the rocky shores ,
whenever the craving for food re
quires it.
His queen , like all the other women
of the island , assists at these prebeian
tasks and carries the crabs and pota
toes home after her lord has dug up
or captured the same.
Nevertheless the people live sumptu
ously on home-grown barley bread and
luscious butter and milk , and the king
is their friend. When he lays aside
the regal duties of the kingdom he
acts as doctor , schoolmaster and reg
istrar of births , marriages and deaths.
So busy are they with their own af
fairs , and so fac away from the out
side world that it is doubtful if they do
at this day know that Queen Victoria
is dead. If they do know of it , certain
it is .that they have sent no telegrams
of condolence , for the very good rea
son that there is not a telegraph pole
in the country.
This is an era of experiments In
food. Scientific investigators in Eu
rope , after thorough tests of a horse
flesh diet , say that this sort of meat ,
when the use of it is continued for a
time , tends to lessen the weight of
the consumer , whether man or beast.
These physiological sages have come
to the conclusion that the choicest
steaks and roasts from the , fattest colts
and fillies are inferior to beef or veal ,
mutton , lamb or ham in sustaining
vital force and preventing a decline in
strength. This is puzzling , because
horses are as clean feeders as cattle
or sheep , and much cleaner than pigs.
How can It be accounted for ?
Kansas City Star : The remark of
Bishop Shaffer of. the African Meth
odist church that the work of colored
pastors is to teach their people how to
live on earth as well as how to get to

OF THE DENVER BALL
Denver , Colo. ( Special. ) Traveling
on her shape , a young colored woman ,
Miss Jessie M. Jones of 320'East Da
kota street , at the carnival ball , set
the fastest pace of all , and hidden her
mask her eyes sparkled with the fas
cination that made a dozen Denver
srrells her abject slaves. Even the
judges who awarded her first prize as
Columbia girl almost fainted with as
tonishment when in a secluded nook
she lowered her maskn requirement
with the rules and they saw a comely
young mulatto.
None of her admirers was more as
siduous than were two officers from
Fort Logan , and their persistent at
tentions gave rise to the general ru
mor that she was the wife of a mili
tary man. Civilians prominent in so
ciety and commerce were rivals for
her favors. Since they have learned
she is not quite white , by bribes and
threats they are trying to escape the
"joshing" sure to follow. They are
wondering whether their socic-ty
friends will regard it as a cardinal sin.
One young admirer has already made
preparations for a trip east , and he
will not return until the carnival ball
is a" , dim and distant memory.
There were extenuating circum
stances , however. There was no means
of telling that the symmetrical form
was covered with a mahogany skin. It
was a democratic crowd and its theory
of female beauty was that "to her who
hath shape all other shortcomings may
be forgiven. " *
Tragedy and comedy alike were veil
ed by masks , and if they had fallen
without warning things that will re
main secret till the end of time would
have caused endless complications. It
was a lottery , and a few men who fol
lowed * in the colored belle's train be
lieve even yet they drew a prize for
the time being and are still wondering
if it is possible for them to locate the
'statuesque beauty whose mature
charms bewildered them on that one
joyous night.
No one thought she was an ingenue.
The Venus-like form developed to the
dividing line between symmetry and
embonpoint proclaimed its owner to
be one to whom there were no mys
teries in life. "A gay married woman"
was the general verdict.and every man
who saw her wished he was her hus
band. Her own husband , resting after
his daily labors at his modest home
at 320 East Dakota street , had no no
tion of the commotion his better half
was creating at the carnval ball. Per
haps if he had even his placid disposi
tion would have rebelled against the
strenuous efforts some society men
were making to induce Mrs. Jones to
accept invitations to one future func-
THE RICE BIRD SEASON OPENS ,
Charleston , S. C. ( Special. ) Thou
sands of rice birds are being slaugh
tered daily in the fields around George
town to supply the markets ef the
east. The season , which opened aus
piciously for the bird dealers , has been
profitable , and one firm in Georgetown
has made the largest shipments ever
recorded in this section. Some time
ago a dealer in Philadelphia offered to
buy the entire output of the George
town dealer , regardless of price and
the number of birds shipped. The
Philadelphian said he could easily han
dle 75,000 dozen at once , which gives
a clear idea of the enormous demand
for this toothsome dish. During the
past week the Charleston buyers have
had great difficulty in getting birds , as
the price has jumped from 50 to 75
cents per dozen. But this increase has
not stopped the sale here and the city
is feasting.
Daniel Crowley , a well known hunter
at Georgetown , has a novel way of
handling rice birds and he has amassed
a small fortune from his labors. None
of the little flyers sent out from the
Crowley establishment are filled 'with
shot , and on this account Crowley gets
a larger price for his product. This
week he'had 25 negroes picking feath
ers from the birds which were cap
tured near his home.
"I have found that the shot birds
are not easily sold , " said Mr. Crow-
ley in speaking of his business , "and
for that reason I never allow a piece
of lead , however small , to tear the
flesh. We have a good idea of the
places where the birds roost and at
night I send out a crowd of negroes
with flaming torches. The birds are
blinded by the light and there is no
trouble in raking in barrels of the liv
ing ones. They are easily caught and
are killed by having the sjmll gently
crushed between the forefinger and the
thumb. "
After the thousands of rice feeders
are sent to the picking room and kill
ed , negroes are employed to clean them
Df feathers , and from the picking room
they are sent to the coolers. Boxes
: ontaining twelve birds , all of which
liave the heads intact , are put under
pressure sufficiently powerful to freeze
; hem , and in that condition they are
shipped by express to the markets of
; he country. Within the past year Mr.
Crowley has practically created a rice
) ird monopoly , although the prices are
ixed by the popular demand , and not
> y this Georgetown bird king. There
ire many other shippers from the rice
ield section , but their methods of kill-
ng and packing differ from Crowley's
ind they are less successful for that
eason. The novel sight of the night
icenes when , with flaming torches , the
ields are invaded by the bird catchers ,
s only surpassed by the other picture
n the picking room , where hundreds
if little negroes are cleaning the feath-
tion or another in order they might
besure of not losing her. Like the
man in the song , they were "glad they
found her" and their hearts hang like
leaden balls at the thought of losing
her.
her."If
"If you were not married I would
propose to you on the spot , " said one
man in the hardware line. He semed
to forget the rumor that he is en
gaged to a girl on Capitol hill and was
almost delirious in his longing to raise
the tantalizing mask.
"My husband is in the army , " an
swered the minx , and In ten minutes
the hundred or more who were won
dering who she was had imparted to
them in stage whispers the supposed
fact that an officer's' wife was honor
ing the ball with her presence. Her
manners were perfect and the soft low
voice deceived men who pride them
selves upon being able to tell quality
at a glance. Nature's own gifts over
balanced all lack of experience in
drawing rooms , and the fact that her
identity was concealed gave her the
aplomb to pretend she was really a
member of the smart set.
She enjoyed the deception like a
Maud Muller made queen for a day.
She assumed the airs of a grand dame
and the capriciousness of a coquette.
Men were exasperated by her unwil
lingness to accept an invitation to
leave the ball room for a glass of
wine , yet a gracious word mollified
their , wrath. Carriages , whose liveried
footmen and coachmen fancy them
selves in an upper class compared
with that of the colored queen , were at
her disposal upon that one night , but
she disdained all their offers and re
mained to be queen of the ball. Just
before the time to unmask and while
she was undergoing a dangerous cross-
questioning from an army officer she
had admitted to that she was the wife
of a military man , one of the judges
approached her.
"Have you got your prize yet ? " he
asked.
"O , yes ; I have two or three , " she
answered , thinking he was speaking
facetiously.
"He is not Joking he means it and is
one of the judges. "
"O , no ; he's just funning , " responded'
the colored girl , and the use of the
word "funning" amazed them both.
At length they made her understand
she had really won first prize. The
army officer did his best to be allowed
to see her raise her mask , but she was
inexorable in her resolution , and to
this day he does not know kthat he
and other men acquainted with the
haut ton spent what they regarded as
their valuable time in chasing ices for
i colored servant girl.
ers from the meat.
In a few weeks , when the rice bird
supply around Georgetown is weak ,
the eastern markets will be flooded
with an imitation rice bird which dif
fers but slightly from the real arti
cle. These fakes are "coots. " The
feathers are black , where the feathers
of the" rice bird are of a canary color ,
and the bill Is longer. But after the
feathers and heads have been removed
there is no way In which the difference
can be detected and the difference in
flavor can only be noticed by the ex
pert. The coots are caught without dif
ficulty and can be bought from ne
groes for a trifle. Coming as they do
at the fag end of the rice bird season ,
they command a ready sale , and un
scrupulous dealers have found that
money can be made by selling the
fakes.
