ATHENS. Greece , August --Special [ Cor-
fcspondenco to TUB UKE.J I had an Inter
view with the king of Qrocco la his royal
patnco hero m Athens. The nudloaco was
arranged for ino by the Hon. Walker Foam ,
the American minister , and it took place at
1 o'clock this aftornoon. The pnlaco of the
king Is oa the highest part of the Athens of
to-day. H is a great barracks-like building
of tlirco stories , covering perhaps two acres
of around and facing the great square known
ns the Place do la Constitution. Its material
is pcnteho marble , the saino us that from
which the old Greeks made their statues and
outof ' _ .which Jilt ? Parthenon wns cut. This
roa'fblo hnsHurncil through nee to a cream
yellow , and the palar > o appears almost as old
ns do the tall pillars of the tnmplo of Jupiter ,
which IOOK up at it from the valley below.
Behind and on both sides of the palace there
is u largo gardcn-likopark , the trees of which
nro covered with rose vines add from which
the sweat perfume of orange flowers
is continually wafted into the windows
dews of tbo palaco. This garden covers
xnnny acre's. * It has romantlo walks
and Bbndy glens , and there is a pond within
It filled with the largest and most boautlf ul
of calla llllios. It has beds of daisies , which
grpw like rose bushes , so that single plants
liavo blossom * upon thorn , making daisy bou-
quota , each as 'largo ns a bushel basket.
Some parts of the garden am

others are great beds of rod pouplos and
roses as big ns saucers look out from the
brunches of the trees overhead. About the
palace and through those- gardens are sta
tioned gorgeous soldiers , whoso dross la a
cross between that of a ballot dancer and a
drum major. They strut jauntly about In
skirts reaching from their waists to their
thighs and formed of dozens of folds of white
cotton. These sk'lrts uro starched and they
stand out from the logs BO that their width
nt the bottom is from six to twelve inches.
With knee breeches and logglns with em
broidered vests and rod caps , they inarch
fiercely to and fro , and a gut > rd composed ot
them stands at the entrance doors ot the
It was past these two that I went this
morning , mounted the marble steps and
found another drum major in skirts ready to
recolvo mo at the door. I passed through a
great vestibule In which liveried servants
stood , and was taken into a reception room
which was than occupied by two Gorman
qarons , u statue of Apollo and by the aide-
de-camp ot the king. This last gentleman
shook mo cordially by the hand and told mo.
that his majesty would receive mo within a
few moinontn. In the meantime I watched
the young barons. They were in the full
dress ot the army nfllcors of Germany.
They were high caps wlthtnssols upon them.
Their olive green coats were covered with
gold luce , and each loaucd as ho stood upon a
silver-handled sword In a silver scabbard.
Their presentation occurred before mine and
I cannot describe the twisting of the mous
taches , the strutting and smiling that they
performed ns thcy-bowed themselves back
.into the room. At this icomont tbo aide-do
camp took mo In charge and I followed him
through ono room after another until wo
reached an oOlco-llko study. I entered and
after a word the aide-de-camp loft and I
stood alone with tall , straight , fine-looking
ruan of apparently not more than thirty-
five years of ago. Ho were u suit much
like the undress uniform of a general of
our army. His coat , buttoned high at the
neck , had but a little gold on his callur , and
there was nothing about his costume to
make ttmt dcvlnlty which is supposed to
surround u king. Still
THIS WAS anoitaios i. ,
who for the past twenty-six years has ruled
Greece , and who , though a foreigner , Is to-
'day ' ono of tno most popular monarchs of
Europe. The son of the king of Denmark ,
bo wns only eighteen years of ago when
Franco , Great Uritain and RUBSIU , as the
Grecian protectorate put him upon the
throne , and ho then know but llttlo of
Greece mm its people. Ho took the oath to
the Grculc constitution In tbo presence of
the high .Greek olllchtls , tlui synod of the
Greek church and the parliament , and ho
has reigned well from th.it duv to this. Ho
bus made himself a part of the Greek people
ple and under him his kingdom bus ad
vanced sluadllv in civilization and power.
Ho has soon his capital spring from a village
into n city with , the mansions , museums ,
schools and line streets of the modern capi
tals ot Kurouo. Ho bus seen the railroad and
tbo telegraph cover the busiest parts of his
country , and has watched the Greek flag
spread out so that It now covers a great part
of the shipping of the Mediterranean sea.
Ho has scon his people grow In wealth and
bus seen Greek credit , HO raised that Ms nu-
bonds stand well In the stock markets
of the world. Ho knows that the Grcok people
ple are advancing In every wav year after
year nnd ho bollovcs with other Grcok states
men among 'them' ' that Greece Is but at the
beginning of its now era of prosperity and
power. „
King George isjonG of the finest looking
xnonarcha of Euiopo. Hols ubout five ( cot
ton inches in height , Is straight , well formed
and slender and his blonde head Is wol seton
on a pair of broad shouldora. Ho has a
high forehead , bright , open , honest uyei
nnd a long blonde mustache shows eut
over a well cut ( aouth. Ho Is forty-four
years old , but ho' looks ton years younger.
The Greeks prldo thomaolves upon being the
most democratic people in Europe , and there
is no moro democratic , ruler than their king.
He extended bib ' hand to me with moro cor-
dlulitv than does 'President Harrison to one
of tils coiiHtltuouts. from wayback , and he
put mo thoroughly at my cose. Ills first

Ho ipoko highly of the patriotism of tin
Greeks nnd told mo that most of the line

referred to the marriage o ( tlio crown \irinei \
which Is to take place In October and his ma
le ty told mo that the crown prince had Jus

The midlenco throuRhout was of thl sam (

Our convdrsatlon was carried on in Eugllsl
which his majesty Rpoko with n slight Gor
man accent. I am told tlmt English Is the
language of his family , nnd It Is said thnttho
king looks like his Bluer , who , na the princes *
of Wales , may one day bo queen of England.
His majesty U very fond of archaeological
studies. Ho is well voweil in history
nnd nntlqiilttoA of Greece nnd when the
nrchnlc statutes were found nt the
Ptirthcnlan not long ago , the king was
present nnd washed them with his
own hands. Ho Is a very hospitable mnn
nnd his social entertainments nro many. Ho
Is fond of Americans nnd ho has entertained
nt his fnmlW table a number ot the Ameri
can naval ofllcora , among whom are Admiral
Franklin and others.
Speaking of his
IACK OP FOnUAMTT ,
I wns told to-day by nn American lady resid
ing in Athens na to how ho received n party
of rustle Americana who uoro making n
lightning trip through this part of the Med
iterranean ROO. In straw hats nnd dustura
this party walked up the stops of the pnlaco ,
nnd upon being asked by tlio major dome nt
the front door ns to whnt were tholr wishes ,
they replied that they had como to Athene
and they wanted to see the king. They evi
dently looked upon his majesty as ono of the
nights of the place nnd xvero surprised when
the ofllcor told them that the king could not
bo reached In this way , nd that If they
would sco him It would have to bo through
Lho request of their minister. Just at this
moment King George passed through the
, 'estlbulc , and seeing the altercation a kcd
vhat wns the matter. Ho wns told , and
10 straightway ordered that the Americans
DO lot In nnd held out his .hand to their
oadtr , The chief grasped the hand ot his
majesty with the grip of a vise nnd snld :
"How do you do , Mr. Kme. Wo are very
glad to see you. Wo had hut ono day In
Athens and wo did not want to go away
without meeting the kluir. " The kin ? led
party into the palace ami ho chatted with
, hem until the leader lit last arose and held
) Ut his band and said ; "Wo must bo going ,
Mr. King , ns.wo have lots more to sco. "
This absence of formality is observed by
[ til members of .the royal family. Hath the
king and the Vn.uean often walk about tbo
itroets of Athena and his majesty now nnd
bon stops and chats with his friends. The
ijuoon of Greece is said to bo the
FINEST LOOUIXO QUItl'.K IK KUtlOl'B.
She is the eldest daughter of Grand Duke
Constantine of Rttssln , brother of Alexander
II. Sin ; Is taU'aaU stately"nnd.sho looks like
u quoon. She is a blonde with brown hair ,
regular features and with a beautiful nook
and shoulders. She dresses very simply , ex
cept on state occasions , and often goes about
Athens xvlthout oven a maid with her. She
wears a hat and jacket nnd her costume
upon such occasions la not different from
that of the other , Athenian ladles. At state
receptions slip is gorgeous in ponrla nnd dia
monds. Her pearl * are noted , and she were
n8t winter ono dress , the bodice of which
, vns covered with pearls , while four strands
of largo ocarU encircled her neck. She is
very popular nmdnc the hidtos of Athens ,
nnd ono of these who knows her well tells
mo that the queen never meets her without
Inquiring iiboiit her family nnd children.
The queen is a woman of flue culture. She
speaks Kussian , Italian , German , French ,
Gruoit and English pci fectly well and is now
studying Albanian. Sue is fond of pnlultng ,
and her friends say she paints very woll.
She is verv charitable and docs a great deal
of good. She is president , of the queen's hos
pital in Athens and she visits this nearly
every day , going through the wards nnd
talking to the patients. She is a staunch
Kussian and when Uussian sailors are In the
hospital she always
TAKES VLOWEIIS TO THEM.
She has another hospital at the Plroous
which she frequently visits , and she has
founded an industrial school in Athens where
all sorts of weaving , laco-making and em
broidery is carried on by Greoli girls.
I visited the school yesterday , nnd I was
surprised at the beautiful materials which it
turns out. , U makes elegant silks , some of
which nro interwovenwith gold thtoads , and
at one of the looms was being made a dress
for the Princess Alexandra , who will bo mar
ried before this letter is published to ono of
the royal family of'Russia. 'It was a beauti
ful white silk. as11tum iia/p cnb-web , with
stripes of gold thread woven hero and there
through It , and itwas being made by n pretty
t > reek girl , who kept tho- loom colng with
her feet while she shot the sjjuttlo to and fro
with her bunas. Tho" poweV for the Creeling
of the silk in-this school is human muscles ,
and in ono room , containing a score and moro
of reeling machines , a wom.ui-.kept these go-
lug by turning a great crank , working as
hard ns any printer's devil at u hand-press.
In tbo storeroom I was shown a number of
fancv Greek costumes , and I am told theio is
talk at the court of adopting the national cos
tume as the court costumo. If this Is done ,
the court will be the most picturesque in
Europe , and the beauty of the ladles will beset
sot off by this gorgeous dress. A part of it
will bo a soft , red fez cap with a long tassel ,
nnd tbo bodice of the dresses will probably
bo of velvet with red sleeves , embroidered in
gold.Tho
The queen of Greece is very domestic ,
nnd she Is fond of Jior..studies and her chil
dren. She is well posted In English litera
ture and

She reads the American authors uud tbo

the palaco. She is a very good woman and
her cliapul IBfono of the -prettiest little
churches in Greece. It is a brown stone
structure with a boll tower of stone rising
a few feet awav frpm it 'It is n Russian
church and the service Is performed by
Greek priests in gowns of stiff cloth of1 gold
and with hats blazing with jewels covering
tholr heads. The music consists of n choir
of four mon , and travelers say that you will
find no liner church music in the world than
In this llttlo Htisslnii church. The worsbip-
ois stand up during the service and the
queen stands among them. The king of
Greece is a Lutheran and ho is allowed , by
special exception , to adhere to the religion
In which ho was educated , but his heirs uud
successors must bo membois of the Greek
orthodox church. Ho 1ms a llttlo chapel
m bis palace in which ho worsh
ips according to the Protestant Luth
eran church every Sunday. Upon
national fete days both the king and queen
appear at the great cathedral of the Greek
church in Athens and they mo here the only
two members of the congregation who sit.
They have chairs of frame work of gold
cushioned with red velvet on a rostrum just
next to the llttlo gold pulpit , and the cabinet
nnd the ollleers of the army stand with the
remainder of the pcopjo about them. The
king and the queen have boon blessed with
seven children and the youngest Is u baby
about a year old. P.rlnco Andreas is seven ,
and Princess Maria , who is a very bright
blonde , is thirteen. Next comes the Princess
Alexandra , a very prqtly girl of nineteen ,
and then Prince George , who is twenty , and
last uud most Important of all the crown
prince , Koustuntlnos , the hblr apparent , who
was born August" , 18li3 , and who was at
eighteen declared lieir apparent to the throne.
All of these children ; snvu the yqar old baby ,
speak French. English , Greek and Russian ,
and thu homo iifo of the palace , is I am told ,
very charming.
AUJVthens is now talking of the

and a lady here tolls mo that she were short

The crown prince is a tall , manly , broad <

Ho has been Intel v promoted to the iiink ol

A BEAUTY IN THE SURF.
The Costume of Ex-Secretary fiolk-
nap'a Wife.
Mrs. Bolknap , snya the Brooklyn
Eagle , while her husband was secretary
of war , was a tall , striking brunette ,
with iv superb presence , a handsome
face and u dashing manner. It was
said that her bath dresses were a startl
ing docolctto. and some of the ladies
of the capital who did not possess Mrs.
Bollcnap's special charms v of "figure
talked so much about her frowns that
the Washington correspondents
the matter up and the secretary's wife
found herself a mueh-talkod-of woman.
Notwithstanding all this , Mrs. Belknap
was popular in society and her recep
tions were largely attended. She also
had the reputation of bavins the most
beautiful foot of any woman in : W .sli-
ington. After her husband's political
eclipse ! Mrs. Bolknap retired with her
daughter into private life on the * conti
nent and remained in Europe ton years
educating her children. Last March
at the inauguration of President Harri-
'
risen , Mrs. Belunap and her d'aughtor ,
who is a beautiful blonde of some eigh
teen summers , occupied rooms 'at ' the
Arlington hotel and were to ibo seen
every night in the dining room , arrayed
in evening dress. Old friondsiof Gen
eral Bolknap regarded the pair with
considerable intoiest and they remark
ed with pleasure that time had dealt
kindly with the older lady , and that ,
with the exception of an added stout
ness , which was not unbecoming , Mrs.
Bolknap was as handsome as ever.
On the 15th of July the sleepy clerk
at the Oriental hotel , Coney Island , was
shaken out of the dreamy contemplation
of his two-carat diamond shirt pin by
the news that upon that evening's train
from Now York Mrs. Bolknap , daughter
and maid would arrive and that the best
rooms in the house were to bo placed at
their disposal. Prom that day to this
Mrs. Belknap has been summering at
the Oriental and has hold her own
as ono of the leading features of the
placo. No sooner does she' leave
her room for the big bathing pavil'on '
between the Oriental and Manhattan
Bench hotels than there is a quiver of
excitement ubout the place. The male
guests of both hotels betake themselves
in a body to the beach , and ovon-the
ladies , although' they will not bwn it ,
are interested. It is not so much the
way Mrs. Boluap bathes that interests
these idler's of a summer day , but it is
the clothes , or rather the lUek of
clothes , that she bathes in. Until Sat-
urtlay la t the wife of the ox-sodretary
has worn at the bath a startling costume
tumo of white and rod. It was striped
affair , showing her perfect form in all
its graceful curves a little , low necked ,
sleeveless bodice , and a very , short
mart were all that it consisted ou The
lady's lower limbs were incased in silk
tights. Tno olToct was startling as she
dashed through the waves , throwing
herself upontho crests with ul1. the wild
abandon of a water nymphv The bald-
headed old gentleman in the surf
almost chuckled with delight , and
tough , weather beaten , John Koogan ,
who acted as watchman at the Manhat
tan bathing pavilion for .several years
could hardly believe his eyes. Ho took
oil his glasses , rubbed the sea fog olT
thom , looked at the fair bather again ,
und then acknowledge that h"o had
never soon anything to equal nor bo
foro.
foro.To
To an Eagol reporter Mr. Koogan
said : ' 'You may talk about your Far
Kockaway or Capo May bathing cos
tumes , but I will bet that there is not
ono in the country that can match tha
ono worn by Mrs. Bulknap. It would
not take moro than ono and one-quar
ter of u yard of goods to make the
whole uflair. "
The ladies who saw Mrs. Bolknap dis
porting herself in the waves did not ,
however , seem to admire her costume
as much as the men. The latter said
that the women were jealous of her.
However this may be , the talk about
the Oriental hotel was started , and It
has boon getting moro and moro criti
cal. The mule visitors all took the part
of Mrs. Bclknup ; the women were all
against her. Being a woman of energy
and courage , Mrs , Bolknap has contin
ued to bathe In her wonderful striped
costume , with , the * abbreviated sleeves
and the still moro abbreviated skirt.
She made un her mind that she would
not lot th o gosslws gain a victory
over her. and ho almost won the fight ,
but Mrs. Belknap's daughter , who is a
very beautiful and accomplished girl ,
did not relish the notoriety which her
mother was attaining , and persuaded
her to throw aside tlio objectionable
bathing suit and wear ono less conspicu
ous. The haughty Blue Grass beauty
did not like to give in , but she at last
consented to yield to nor daughter's
wish , and tills morning the bald-headed
old mon who paid 10 cents eiie'.i for the
privilege of seeing Mn < . bolknap bathe
were reduced almost to n , state of des
peration , She appeared on the beach
in a dark-blue costume of the usual son-
side stylo. The. women who found fault
with Mrs. Bolknap's striped suit wore
smiling and happy when un Eagle re
porter visited tno bathing pavilion at-
Manhattan Bench , This morning ono
slight and delicately built girl of about
forty summers , und heaven knows how
many hard winters , enid a companion
in the hearing of the seribo :
"Oh. you lust ought to have aeon her
other dross ; It was too horrible ( or any
thing. "

"I don't kn6& asl cari toll you any

"Thoro is nothing stirring or strange

sooins moro or loss asleep. In America
ono meets with something that moves
and stirs as ff it had the rich , warm
blood of llfo in it , "
"What is the most stirring experi

"Well , " said the clergyman , thinking
for a moment , "I guess it was when I
used to belong to u horse thief club in
Nebraska. "
"Do you moan to toll mo that you
over belonged to a horse thief cjubr'
' Yes , indeed ; I used to bo ono , of the
members of such a club. I belonged to
ono for over two years.
"I always did llko a good horse , "
continued the reverend gentleman ,
"and when I first located in Noninhn ,

"I had just got fairly settled down in
my parish work when ono day a man by
the name of Strong called and asked
mo if I didn't want to join the Horse
Thief club. When' I asked him the
purposes of the organization he said it
was a club to protect horse owners from
the depredations of Iforso thieves. Yet
the club wont by its peculiar name ,
which expressed just the opposite idea
it was intended to.
"Tho club , hdwover , had done well
under that name and the name was all
right. Ho said as I had a horjo
I had bettor get in and join and
if my horse was stolen 'tho club would.
send men after the thieves and recover

$1 a month.
"I asked him if the taxes I paid tenet
the authorities would not glvo mo the

"His idea of the loc ; ,1 authorities wns
very low. Ho said ho never yet heard
of a sheriff in Nebraska catching a
horse thief , and ho believed half the
ofllcers of the law in ( Nebraska were in
with the thieves. H nco the necessity
of a local club to prot ict horse owners.
"Well , " continued the Rov. Gassman ,
' 'I concluded that m. horse wns worth
protecting ; sol paid 810 initiation fee
and joined the club , also agreeing to
nay SI a month dues , I was duly initi-

were good types of the honest , hardy
frontiersmen.
"At first I felt a little dubious about
the club , but after the mooting \vas
over I concluded I Would stay with
them. They tioatod mo with a rough ,
sincere courtesy , and during the meet
ing a motion was made to excuse mo
from active service on the 'overtaking
committee. ' This caused considerable
discussion , but it was carried on with
such delicacy that I had no idea what
the duties of un 'overtaking committee'
amounted to. and it was decided that
my cloth excused me from the aforesaid
'overtaking' duties.
"To make a long story short one
night my beautiful bay horse was stolen ,
and a special session of the club was
called.
"I was considerably excited of course
and was early at the meeting. The
club had a short session" and appointed
William Strong and two other mon as
nn 'overtaking committee' to trail the
thieves. They mounted their- fast
horbcs in about five minutes , and with
Colt's revolvers strapped on , sot off in
the dead of night on n smart gallop.
"In about ten days they returned and
brought my horse back. I was indeed
glad to see the animal once moro , and it
hud been recovered at a nominal cost
to mo. <
"That night the 'committee' mndo
their report. As near as I can remem
ber it was about as follows :
" 'Wo , the committee report that wo
"overtook" the man who stole the horeo
and have returned the horse.
" 'WILLIAM SniONa , Chairman. '
"Then they adjourned , and next day
I had a talk with Strong. The conver
sation was about like this :
" 'Where did you find'my horse ? '
" 'Down in Kansas , just across the
lino. '
" 'Did you find the thiefV
" 'Wo "overtook" him. '
" 'Why didn't you bring him back ? '
" 'I said ho was "overtook. " '
" 'What "over
do you moan by
took1"
' 'Overtook with tribulation. I guess
he had hard luck. '
" Did you talk with , hlin about the
sin of stealing ? '
' 'Talked some. '
' "What did ho talk ? '
u 'Ho talked back. '
" -What did ho say ? '
" 'Why not ? '
" 'Cos he's dead , parson deador'n
nits. '
' 'Do you moan to say you killed
him ? '
" We plugged him six times , parson ,
nnd ho curled up alongside the road
und died right there. I hated tor toll
yor this 'cos you're a preacher. I kept
a flghtin' ' yer off , but you kept comln'
at mo. and so now yor know that the
$10 yor put up helped pay the expenses
tof tno 'overtnlcer8'but yorciui bet high
that there is no expense to the undor-
akers. Wo all agreed to keep the
klllin1 back from yor , but'you pumped
mo und you got the inside of the deal ,
didn't yor ? '
" 'Why , my dear sir , did you shed
this mini's blood ? '
" 'Cos ho stele yor hess , parson. Wo
run on to him ono mornln1 just beyond
'tho Kansas lino. Whuu wo rode up ho
jutt gcltin' through breakfast. lie
didn't llko the look of ua , I guess , for
ho ups nnd snaps nt gun at Us twisto as
I rode up. Guess the rainy night had
dampened the caps , for she didn't go ,
but when I slung my reliable Colt to
the fore and plugged him a couple or
times she wont , she did. Jack nnd
Andy plugged him some , too. Wo
justtloft him layin'thoro in the roiul nnd
rocovorln' yor hess como home. His
relatives nro the proper pussons to
bury him , but folks that an't no kin to
n hess thief oughton to monkey with
his remains. ' "
The reverend atory-tollor gave the
recltnlnn Inimitable drawl , and took oft
the queer frontier speech to the llfo.
"I really felt sorry , " ho continued ,
"tlmt the mnn who etolo the horse was
killed , for horse stealing is a sin
that I always felt llko focglv-
ing n man for. Tlio sin of
covetousness never touches my soul
except when I see a sleek , spirited horso.
"Icnn look on heaps of gold nnd fool
no envy of'tho owner , on precious stones
and bo indifferent oven the charms of
lovely women hardly move mo but the
sight of a fine , high-stopping horse
about fourteen hands high nnd a good
chest , with clean logs nnd n springy
motion when ho walks , sots mo aflame
with n disposition to own him.
"I nm kept back by n sense tlmt I
must not disgrace my family by steal
ing him , so when T find a man who has
no solf-rontrol , no education , no moral
training , I know that ho has stolen
horses and pity him for the possession
of a passion that is morally his master.
"Mv good common souse tolls mo that
if T uhould take another man's horse I
would bo discovered nnd imprisoned.
But If over I got nn idea that I could
secure it without detection and my
crime never bo heard of I should well ,
I should advise the owner to keep his
stable door well fastened.
"Of course this is not for publication ,
for if such candid talk got into print my
congregation in Ohio would say I was
lacking in orthodoxy and the regular
clerical dignity. You must recollect
that clergymen whllo away from homo
do not us n rule act us dignifledly as
when they are iu tholr own parish nnd
I am no exception to the rule. ' '

IJV WATER POWER.
i
A New Hallway 'Hint is Cheap , Fast
nnd Beyond Comparison.
A .press view took place yesterday ,
says a'Paris letter to the London News ,
of the so-called _ "Chemin do For Glis-
sant , " or "Slide railway , " on the Eb-
planadcs des Invalides , within the ex
hibition This new invention is u sin
gularly original contrivance for ena
bling'trains to rUn , by moans of water
power , at a speed hitherto undreamed
of : Arriving there without any intiraa- '
tion us to whata , sliding railway might
be , I at first mistook it for an overgrown
switchback with the humps smoothed
tiwuy.
The triin ( consisted of four carriages ,
affording room for ubout otio hundred
passengers. The carriages had no
wheels , being supported ut the corners
by blocks of iron of a size somewhat
larger tlmn a brick , which rested upon
a double line of iron girders. In the
middle of the line at regular intervals
jutted out irregularly shaped pillars ,
the us6 of which was not yet apparent.
Having taken our seats und the signal
being given , we glided along very
gently for a apace of a few yards , when
suddenly wo gathered ppced. Two or
three tugs were felt and wo were Hying
on the puce of-uin ordinary train , but
us , smoothly as a bo.it on a river.
Th'ero was a clicking noise on tho.
rails , but thisJ was assured , was due j
to u defect ill the construction of
the slides and would bo remedied.
The absence of any vibration , shaking ,
or "lull motion" was wonderful. ' A
slight jerk there was at regular iutor-
vuls , but , hon , ugain , I was told that it
was duo.moroly to the shortness of the
course and the inability to got up a
proper pace. In a hydraulic train trav
eling nt full spood.'that is to say , at the
rate of MO to 20 ( ) kilometers or 87 to 12-1
miles an Hour , there would bo almost
no consciousness of motion. Tlio
journey down the esplanade only occu
pied a fen socou is.
Upon our safe return Mr.Piltor ,
'chairman of tbo company which owns
the invention , gave a full account of it.
The sliding railways was invented in
1808 by an onglnuar named Ginlrd , who
was killed in the Franco-Gorman war ,
und it has boon improved to its present
state by ono of his assistant ongnioors ,
M. Barro.
As h > is already boon mentioned , the
hydraulic carriages have no wheels ,
those being replaced by hollow slides
fitting upon a flat and wide rail , und
grooved on the inner surface. When
it is desired to sot the carriage In
motion water is forced into the slide or
skate of the carriage from a reservoir
by compressed air und , seeking to es
cape , it spreads over the under surface
of the slide , which it raises for ubout a
null's thlcicnoss above the rail. The
slides thus rcstintr , not on the rails , hut
on n film of water , uro in a perfectly
mobile condition ; in fact , the pressure
of the forefinger is suflloient to displace
a curriago thus supported. The propelling -
polling force is supplied by the pillars
which stand ut regular intervals on the
line between the mils. Hunning un
derneath every carriage is an iron
rack , ubout six inches wide , fitted with
puddles.
OMow as the foremost carriage pusses
in front of the pillar a tap on the latter
Is opened automatically nnd u stream of
water ut high pressure is directed on
the paddlos. This drives the tram on
and by thu time the last carriage has
prone past the tap ( which then clobos ]
the foremost ono is in ( rout of the next
tap , the water's action thus being con
tinuous. The fOi-co developed is almost
inprcdiblo , There is soinoflplushing on
the rails ut the start , but this diminishes
the faster the train goes. To atop the
trnin the small stream of wntor tlmt
foods the sides is turned off , nnd , tholnt-
ter coming In contact with tlio rails , the
resulting friction stops the .carrlngo al
most instnntoously.
A water train running nt over 100
miles nn hourc.ould , Iwa9tol < ? , bopnllod
up within thirty yards , rould climb up
gradients of sixteen Inches in the
yard , descend them with * equal safety ,
und run on the curves of forty-fourynrd
radius. This system would scoiu pocull-
ury ndnpt for elevated railroads in cities
being light , noiseless , smooth , without
smoke , fast nnd thoroughly under com-
mnnd. The danger of running off the
rail is reduced to a minimum , the center -
tor of grnvlty of the carriages being
scarcely moro than n couple foot from
the rails. The cost of a .metropolitan
system would only bo n tllirdof ono on
the old plan , but in the open country
its cost would bo somewhat higher than
the ordinary railway ; but M. Barre
tolls mo the expense would bo in
Fruaco nn nvorapo of 8,000 n mile.
Where no nntural wnfor supply is nvuil-
able a propelling machine every twelve
miles or so would bo sufllciont to keep
trains going nt full speed. The consumption - '
sumption of coal per passenger would
bo one-tenth only of the usual quantity.
The importance of ; ' this may bo roal-
ixod by considering the statement that
the Paris-Lyons company nlono has nn
annual coal bill of , 12,000,000. Never
theless , it would bo ynsh to predict the
general introduction of the wator-
syston on railways. Ono objection ,
for Instance , that occurs to mo is its
apparent unauitability for goods trutllc.
At. Porsil.tho manager of the "Chomins
do For Gllssauts1 ' believes it will all
but do away with the locomotive engine.
With respect to England ho believes
tlmt the disadvantages 6f the slow
method of crossing the channel will
become so apparent that all opposition
to the tunnel will vanish. "I am
ready , " ho said with enthusiasm , "to
wngor any sum that when the tunnel is
made and our system has a. tcial people
will go from London to Pdrls iu two
hours. "

Mr. Mackenzie , of Kintail , enter
tained his imperial majesty on his ar
rival Friday with Highland games. For
the Gillies' ball that wuno night was
reserved the honor of introducing the
ruler of Persia to a moro intimate
knowledge of Scottish merrymaking.
About 10 o'clock the shall , accompanied
by Mr. Mackenzie , Sir Henry Drum-
mend Wolff , and Sidney Churchill , on-
tcredjtho marquee , whore a programme
of reels , Strathspeys , Highland flings
and fancy _ dunces. TOW Jjoing gone

prepared on' a scale of princely splen
dor , and the bconu at the moment was
full of color and'unimatibn. ' Even the *
tent seemed to sway to the rhythm of
the dancers' movements. "The shah
walked freely among the people laugh
ing and exchanging- words here and
there with many now in Persiananon
in French , and occasionally in English.
A lively reel finished , u Highland fling
commenced and Mr. Mackenzie whoso
years exceeded oven these of the shnh.
tried to get his majesty to join in the
dance. The bagpipes , which send elec
tric fire through Highland veins , were
in full blast and the throb and boat of
pattering feet were emphasized by fre
quent loud ' 'Aooohs ! " The shah caught
'the infection , und while his host ca
pered und snapped his fingers before
him. tried to dance the Highland fling.
The imperial Persian legs , however ,
did not lend thembclyos readily to the
gyrations of that vigorous terpsichorean -
rean feat. In fact , tif the "Hutires ob

patted and complimented , nnd bogged
to dance again tno Highland iling ; but
Mrs. , with fair womnn's 'privilogo ,

NKW YOIIK , August 22. [ Spcclnl to
Tim HEK. ] It ia nn open question
whether living is cheaper In Now York
than It is Oirmlm. I know thnt ono of
the moat ohorlRhod idonsof many in tlio
west Is tlmt it costs muuh loss to live
"back east , " but that wages nro lo\vor.
As fur ns ray knowledge pees the uvor-
ngo of wages for skilled labor in Now
York is Bomowlmt lower than In Omahu ,
but the cost of living is ubout the samo.
If there Is any dlfforonoo It costs moro
horo. In the I torn of coal there is a
big difference in favor of Now Yorkfup
hard conl'costs at retail hero J1.60 to
$5.50 per ton against $9.50 to $11 in
Omaha. Ice is scarce this year that is
the ice dealers claim It is , which
amount * to the same thing anil consequently
quently commands n high price. But
Instyoar when there was n fnircrpptho ,
price to families was from Wo to $ l per
month moro than in Omaha. , fciugnrpun
bo bought in Omaha for nbout'tho nmo
price as in Now York , in spite of the
fact that so many hirgo refineries are
located here , while Omaha's supply is
brought from this point or other mar *
kots equally distant. Floiir costs moro
here than in Omaha , na would be natur
al to suppose , Omaha being much nearer
the bnso of supply. In the matter of
meat there is a difference in favor of
Omaha. Cuts of stculc that can bo
bought for 10 cents per pound In
your city , readily command 10
cents to4 emits per pound horo.
It makes a great dilToronre whdro you
buy in Now Yorlt. The small groceries
and markets scattered throughout the
residence portion of Now York and
Brooklyn manage to obtain the highest
prices for all that they sell , while prices
to retail customers at and near Wash
ington. Fulton , Catherine. Ganesvoort
and other city markets uro from 10 to
20 per cent lower for all kinds of moat ,
vegetables and fruit. , And thlssuggosta
the idea that what has boon found tfuo
iu Now York will prove the same in
Omaha. The establishment of a central
market , or a series of markets , by tlio
city will give the people lower prices by
bringing largo numbers of competitors
together at ono point.
Fruit ia plentiful hero at all times of
the year , and when iu proper season can
bo procured moro cheaply than in Oma
ha , as the surrounding country is pro
lific in fruit trees. Garden produce is
always reasonable in price , owing to the
vt'stshipments ' to the city from tlio ad
joining districts. Omaha could enjoy
same advantagps wore the farmers able
to grasp the fact that there is a good
market there for all that they could
raise , and at a better profit than they
realize from their present crops of grass
and corn.
In the matter of rents , at first thought
it would bo said that Now York ottered
the lowest rents. '
The o'iio-btory frame icottago of from
two to seven rooms , so familiar in
. .Omaha , is never seen in Now York or
ito suburbs. I have failed to llnd but
ono in or around the city. The same
class of _ people who live in these cot
tages in Omaha will bo found in some
of tlio Hats or apartment houses which
shelter the largo portion of the moro
prosperous working people of Now
York. The rent of these flats varies
from $10 per month for a flat of two to
throe rooms to $25 per mouth for ono of
six or seven rooms , prices ranging be
tween those figures according to size of
rooms , distance from the ground floor ,
conveniences and neighborhood. Of
course , there are liner buildings in
which the runts are much creator , but
these are tenanted by the wealthier
clnes.and do not come under the com
parison.
The rent of cottages in Omaha varies
from 810 to $ . ,0 per month moro thun
similar accommodations in Now York ,
but owing to the great distance of the
locution of most of Now York's ' apart
ment horses from thebusiness center , a
car fare of 10 cents per day or $3 per
mouth must bo included- the above
estimates.
Butter eggs and milk all cost moro
hero than in Omaha.'while on the other
hand , dry goods , clothing and other i
articles of apparel are cheaper in Now
York by from 5 to 10 per cent.
Taken on the whole , a careful com
parison of prices on all articles of fopd ,
wear and other necessaries , will show
that the onttro sum spent in a year will
be about the same in Omaha as in New
York , and the average of wares being
higher in Omaha the scales tip in Her
favor.
Some people , however , find it almost
an impossibility to live at the prices
mentioned. Said ono to mo the other
day : "Ilow do you manage to buy your 4,1
groceries , moat and fuel for BO much i
less than what I have tp payi1" The
answer is simple. The person making
the inquiry resides in an apartment
house , where storage room is limited ,
and buys his coal a bushel or n halt
bushel at a time , paying at the rate of
double the regular price per ton. Ills
potatoes are bought on the sumo plan ,
and Ins moat is secured from the near
est butuhcr shop in the smallest possi
ble quantities. This is what makes 1
Hying so high among a certain class in
Now York. There are a class of men
who make their living bythis system of
parcelling out all kinds of provisions in
the smallest possible quantities and it
has become so popular a plan that thous-
nndsof families in this city to-day are
wasting a quarter of their income in
this hand-to-mouth style of living.
There is no doubt that purchasing in
reasonable quantities at oijo time would
olTect a saving of grout" Hums to the
worUingmen and clones with small sal
aries amd large families , but possibly
the public at largo would "hot bo bono-
flttod , for largo numbers of poor mon
would find their nceupatidn as purvey
ors to this demand gone if this plan
were to bo adopted.
