TTTfl OMAHA DAILY TE : MONDAY , JULY 21 , 1803. HIS NIBS , RAJAH ABUBARER Known In the Monarcliint World M tlio SultAn of Johoro. A POTENTATE OF CONSIDERABLE WORTH From H rnpnlntlon of too.000 lln Mnimgci to i-tntrt : III * \\rlglit In Hold anil rrreliMm Stnnr , Home of Wlilch lie \VIII Scnttnr In Tlionbstroy.il visitor to the United States nnd the World's fail' is expected to bo the sultan of Johoro , who is iiutk- In ) , ' n trip around the vvoi-ld. Ho is nlfo called Hnjiih Abubiikcr , and la the iniiharajtih of .lohoro. .lohoro is a semi- Independent principality less than half the sl/.o of the Hlalo of Now York , situ- ntedou the Asian mainland , just across the Htruits from Singapore , and has a population of about 1(10,000 ( people , 'not to mention the timers. Nevertheless the Hiiltan of Johoro maintains an tinny and navy , a "court.1 an heir apparent , a prime minister \ihd a little aristocracy ull hi.s own. Tlio exact value of a Johoro title of no bility has not boon stated , but there is no doubt about the fact that so fur us Johoru royalty is concerned there Is money in it. Ilia august bcreulty , bon of the sun , king of the forest and hered itary grand ruler of the Malay archipelago pelage Abuliaker is a milllotiairo. IIo has several attendants in bin rotlnuo who.so solo duty it is to tuko charge of hit ) diumondH , and they are strong , able- bodied men , who hell ) each other lifting the b'l.xcH of gems and jewelry which are hidlspotiMiblo to the happiness of the rajah. Tlio sultan of Johoro , too , is a strong man , olt-o ho would not be able to stand up under the weight of gold and pre cious stones heaped upon him eVery morning when ho puta on ' his ollieiul costutuo. His dress varies from tiny to day , and ho oliango-i the style of his jewelry. Sometimes ho wears an orill nary business suit , the kind kings wear when they are uUciidinir to their duties. Tlio only tiling noticeable about it is that tbo buttons are made of diamonds. The careful observer would notice that when the sultan took his liaiulb out of his pockets enormous gold ropu bracelets - lots were twisted about his wrists , an 1 that his lingers were almo.st hidden by massive gem-studded golden rings. On the right luitid diamond and emerald rings alternate and on the left diamonds and rubies. Hiinist not bo imagined from this. Bays tlio BulTulo Kxpress , that the biiltan of Johoro is a biivugo of the Shah-of- I'oi-hla order. IIo is a well educated and Intelligent man , who 1mb traveled much ; but , like all tlio Indian princes , lie has the diainoud habit. Ho would bo utterly miserable if he did IK t have Koine precious btoues upon bin portion. When ho wants to indulge himself ho does not feed his stomach or his mind , nor is ho given to drink or gambling. "When he gets a lot of money that he wants to spend ho bujs diamonds. Thesofeed hi.s eye and tickle his oriental imagination , and he is then more than over convinced that ho is a great man. Hut it is not alone us the possessor of diamonds und rubies , gold and silver , frankincense and myrrh , that the biiltau of Johoro poses among tlio princes of India as a great man. IIo owns half of the city of Singapore , and his ancestors formerly owned the whole of it. Ho also owtis the Ellonborough plate , said to bo the most famous service of plate in existence. This was bold at auction in Scotland some years ago. The sultan of Johore heard of it and at once saw a chance to outshine the rajah of Seinde. lie wanted to buy the i > lute , but , like many of the princes of India , ho didn't have the money. Then ho decided to approach his wife on the subject. The BU It ami at once lent him $175,000 to buy the plate , with only one condition , that her name be put iu Arabic on each piece. Tlio sultan took the money and bought the Kllenborough pluto. Then he "played upon the sultana what some of the other princes of India said was a mean trick. IIo had her name engraved on every piece , but so small that it looked like a mere scratch which would not bo noticed until atten tion was called to it. All of this plate Is of solid gold , und each picco , in addi tion to the watch which stands for the name of the sultana , bears the arms of Johore. The gold conteriocc | ) is so big that it takes four men to lift it. There is nothing like it among all the other rajahs , mahurnjuhsameers and whatnots nets of India. Johoro has about 20,000 square miles of territory and is hi tun ted nt the south ern cud of the Malay peninsula. On the northwest it is bounded by the Moar river , and by the Intlu on the northeast. The country Is covered for the most part by virgin fore.sts , which have not been fully explored. The little town of Johoro is fifteen miles from Singapore , and when the sultan wants to amuse himself ho invite * parties out from the city , lie recently invited the United States consul with other dignitaries to witness the ceremony of proclaiming the heir apparent. The sultan had been in bad health and had been taking the waters of I'lirUbad. Fearing for the biiecossUin of his royal house ho decided to return .and proclaim his oldest son , Prince Kbriihlm. The American consul wont out to the paliioe and thus described the ceremony : ' 'From our rooms in the palace wo could r-ee the little city of Johoro , its well paved , streets swarming with tlio loyal subjects of his highness in holiday attire , the Dowun or legislative build ings , the hall of justice , the wide Bpreiuling grounds and gnrdoiib of the jialaeo , and eould-jiist catch a glimpse of the ls.tuna isiiru , or woman's palace. ' 'Tho outlook was so pleasant that 1 was tempted to go directly to the biiltai and in our 'frank American1 way olTot offhand to exchange jobs with him , as it wero. "At 11:110 : a. m. nn aide announced that hlb highness would receive us in the throne room. Wo piibsed through a bories of boftly-carpoted , richly-fur nished rooms ami corridors until \\o reached the grand salon , Here wo were asked to wait once more. Nothing loath wo paused and guxed .ibout u . "Tho grand salon is a room 100 foot long , I bhould judge , by f > 0 wide and ItO high. Its fiu-nibhinys are a delightful mixture of the i ccitlunt and thu'orieiit. A soft velvet cat-pot from Hol land covers the Hour. Velour ami lace curtains from Franco hung nt the doom and windows and re duce the llotce , bteoly glare of the noon day him to u soft , translucent twilight. Liixurioiib chains and tettees from Great Britain , and great divans from Turkey , all covered with the royal yellow , bland eldo by side. "Wo are graciously received by his highness I with the rest , in spite of my ordinary suit of evening clothes. My colleagues' magnificent uniforms and numerous decorations bccmed to cut no greater llgure in his eyes th'un they would have in the eyes of thu illustrious Lincoln. Still I must confess , that while standing in the midst I of thn brilliant throng , for jtnt n mo * ! inr-nt 1 fell n lUllo ituldf place in evening - [ ing dro < w nl a morningnfair. and wished | that my government had thought It wise i to allow mo sumo little distinguishing , mark even a red. white and blue rlbb-m in my hair or a bras * button In my nose would have .sulllccd. ! "Tho sultan would bo called a splendid | specimen of a man in any clime. Ho ] b lauds 5 feet 8 inches , is well built , ! square shouldered , and has clean cut features , n well chlselodJicad and iron- gray hair and mustache. "I'ho third ami fourth lingers of his hands were a perfect bln/.o of diamonds. On hla breast \\as the Insignia in diamonds mends of bis own family order , the garter - tor of Johore. He were a round , rimless rap , much like a polo cap , in the front of which were the arms of Johoro sot in diamonds. On his right wilst was a heavy gold bracelet , and ai'ound his waist a gold cord. "His highness was radiant in his court dress of black and goltl. On and across his breast was a blaze of decorations from all the countries Of F.ttropo , from Asia , and even from his departed greatness - ness , our old friend Kalakaua. stars and crosses ad Inllnitum. The collar of his coat was a solid muss of diamonds , as was the knot of each apatilottc , while in the gold em broidery of his sleeves were stitched rows of them. His sword belt and sword were studded with diamonds , emeralds and rubles , and sprays of diamonds mends waved liked plumes from the front of his rimless cap. Ills lingers were cramped with rings , and his \vrists with bracelets. "On the ritrht of the sultan sat his ex cellency , the governor , while on his left was the crown prince , 18 yours of age , dressed in the resplendent uniform of a lieutenant of artillery and decorated with the orders of the crown of Johore. Next to the prince sat the Date ( Lord ) Mel- druuit a charming old Scotchman who. years ago , lost Ills fortune witli Johoro and was raised to tlio peerage by his grateful sovereign. Two other English- ncn in his liigliness'borvlee have likewise icon honored , the postmaster general , ) ate Bently , and the commissioner of mblic works , Date Garland. On the ippositc nido of the table sat the Date \lintri , or prime minister , u splendid ooking man. The table service was 'ithor ' solid gold or Dresden ware. Ouo oui-so was served on the famous F.Ilen- ) or nigh plate. "Tho menu was of sruno seventeen cour.-cs , moro Fiench in its composition than typical of the country. It was not v full-Hedged dinner , you must boar in nind , only a tifllii , so 'that at the end of .hreo hours wo were ready for the cigars and the toasts of the queen , the governor , the guests and the sultan. L'heii , to the tumiliar international air if "My Country , 'Tis of Thee"God Save the Queen , " we arose and wan- lored out into the marble corridors with i glow ot kindliness in out.several faces 'or all the world , reiuiy and willing to leelaro any unefrom Nero to Tom Heed , crown prince of Johoro. Such is the soothing otTeet of a well filled stomach , "The cereiiu ny of the proclaiming of Iho heir apparent wtu an impressive r > no. Hanged against the walls of the great rooin several Hies deep wore the nobility of the kingdom , the ministers of state and the ollleors of the army ind navy ; the space back of these vyas Illletl by Chinese mandarins and rich native merchants in their picturesque costumes. In front of the nobility , standing in the form of a square , were the sons of dates ( lords ) , each bearing golden , jewel-studded chogans , spears , krisos and maces. Inside the square btood the foreign consuls. Into this open sqaaro came the heir apparent sur rounded by bis brothers. On the tbrono sat the sultan , with the governor on his right baud. On his left were his crown diamonds and his robe of ermine. Back of the throne stood four young princes , two bearing the trolden , be jeweled kris of the Malay , another the golden sword of state , and the fourth the soimotar of the prophet. "At a signal from the datoanara ( secretary - rotary ) the band ceased and the sultan arose and proclaimed his son Funkee , Prince Kbrahim , his biieeessor and the future ruler of his people. Then the Date Mintri asked the people if they wished it to bo. With a united cry canio back 'Suku ' ! Suku ! ' ( Johoro for 'sure' ) which was taken ii | > in a prolonged shout by the assembled natives in the palace grounds. "Then the governor arose , and in a few words approved of the act in the name of her majesty of Great Britain and Ireland. As ho took his seat the young wince came forward and kissed the hand of his highness and touched that of his excellency. Then the gnus from the fort and the gunboats in the harbor pealed forth the royal salute , the band played the Johoro national an them and the great concourse of natives shouted themselves hoarse. An Arab reader next stopped forward and read nn address in the name of his hicrhncss's subjects and then all were permitted to come forward and congratulate the for tunate young man. " The sultan is 05 years of ago nnd n widower. By the recent death of his wife ho inherited $20,000,000. lie is ono of the best billiard players in the cast , and has had some handsome blllinid tables made for his palace at Johore. The sultan has taken a lively interest in the World's fair. IIo is now seeing the sights of the world , nnd will take in Chicago and Now York in uis trip around the globo. A To ul on Her Iliick. It was a cold , bold , horrid little squat toad , not much bigger than a piece of chalk , but it captured a street car in Grand street last Friday night and stood up the passengers , too , in a manner that would have commanded the respect of an experienced stage robber , bays the Now York Sun. The car was going cast and was filled witli shop girls and shopping women. Its windows were open and that fact in- hpirod a little boy , the owner of the toad , with evil thoughts. The little boy held the toad in his hand. He looked thoughtful , as if ho were considering the various prolltable purposes to which a toad coul'd bo applied. Tying it to the stick of a rocket leaves most of the fun' ' to thu imagination , and slipping it into daddy's trousers pockets may bring about unpleasant consequences. The Grand street ear came along and interrupted the little boy's ' meditations. At an onon window space the bare neck of a girl ollered a shining mark. The little boy crept up beside the car , reached cautiously In through the win dow and carefully dropiied the toad down the bolccted nock. The girl bcreamed , screwed her hand down the back of her neck , and t-creamed again , tliis time louder than before. She drew out something , threw it in horror on the cur lloor , and at that moment the little bov yelled "rats. " Kvery woman in the car stood up on the seats and shrieked , the driver put on the brakes , the conductor rubbed his eyes nervously , approached the binull hopping thing , looked relieved , and ejected the intruder. The little boy sat on the curb , and looked up at the sky and smiled , 'Didn't Know ItV I.oiiitud , " The "didn't know" brigudo is u very industrious one and has branches in al- inust i-vc.-y community.

That the island would become unin habited in u very short time goes with out saying. That thu remainder of the world would grieve very llttlo is a solf-ovidcnt fact. til.rti : II / > ( .

Hiitnnn nature seems to bo the only clmnjfclcsH thing In this chatiKoful world of ours.

Mr. Couch , who It scoin ? paid n visit lo Mr. Mnidim on the evening of Jutvo 15 , Illls n Column of your Issue of .luly U in telling what ho observed when there , and In nlrintf his sapience on n variety ot suhjciHs. He docs not give his reasons for jiayhu ; the visit or what he expected to Icnra from U , but ns to Mr. Maiden's claim to extraordinary powers of sight has this to say : "This man's eves huvo the look of ordinary optics. Oculists say that at times there is a thickening of the lenses or a formation in the nature of a cataract that Rives the eye hu-ro.tscd vision , and sometimes ends 'in loss of sl ht/ The Sajic of Ord weats glasses of French manu facture , made of a rock crystal that was not Acloctcil for ovorllncncss of structural nr- raiiRomcnt. At times I wear such a pair of glasses myself , and have discovered that when looking at the western skv nt nl ht the orbs of the sky Hash out in multiple de gree and impress upon the eye a phosphores cent quality that remains for a time after the Rlarses arc removed. " This is absolutely all ho has to say in regard to Mr. Maiden's visual powers , lie proposed no tests and pave his claims in this regard no examina tion. In nassinp judgment upon the claims of Air. Mn ( don there aio three opinions prcscatoil from which to select our verdict To tir.ind him an impostor ; to con sider him thu victim ol an hallucination ot to accept his claim to thu possession of ex traordinary powers of sight as true. Those who know Mr. Maiden and his reputation for sterling honesty will decline to adopt the llrst opinion ; those who know his good sense in matters of business and the conduct of affairs will bo loath to adopt tlio second. As to the third , what Mr. Couch says need iu no vviso shako the conlidcnco of any. Ho says , "This man's eyes luuo the look of or- din.u-y optics , " but fails to show himself an optician. In the next sentence ho says : "Oculists say that at times there is a thick- calm : of the lenses or a formation in the nature of a cataract that gives the eye in creased vision. " Ho makes merry of Mr. Maiden's statement : "Our sun is n succession of ex plosions of gas repeated irom COO to 000 > er minute , " , etc. , in this wise : "As to the ii-uth of this explosion theory from his tele scopic sisht , 1 confess t can only take ot ( my lat. No doubt there me bursts of sun eor- > na that roach upward v.ist distances , but the dynamite theory himlly corresponds with my own. " Mr. Maiden bases this theory of his upon the observations ho has made , and it seems to receive striking con firmation from the report of Prof. J. M Sehaebcrle of the Lick observatory , ' who lias lately returned from Chili , South Amer ica , where ho wont to observe the eclipse of the sun which occurred there last April. Hero is a statement of his theory , taken from the Now York Weekly Tribune of Juno JS : "Prof. Sehacberlo's theory , which ho went lo South America to prove , wns that the beautiful corona which appears every time there is a total eclipse of the sun was caused by the fact that tno sun was covered with immense volcanoes which continually belched forth great masses of molten mate rial , which the sun drew b.iek to it with a speed which could not bo realized. " Judging Irom this , Mr. Couch will liiul therd are others than Mr. Maiden whose views fail to "correspond with my own. " His rival's lack of education Mr. Couch brings before his readers in this vviso : "Ho is a vvell built man , near W years of age , an Englishman , wno finished his .scholastic edu cation nearly lorty years ago. " Mr. Maiden , like all truly great men , is a bo vo mere petty pride ami lias never concealed the fact of Ins meager schooling , but feels little need to apologize for w. hut ho shares with some of the greatest names in history , and is happy to think that while ho lett school forty ye.irs ago ho did not therefore ccasu learning. Ho is still a student , and in the world that great schcol of experience , is daily learning lessons deeper ami higher than any scholas tic institution can teach. His ignorance of astronomical affairs is touched upon as follows : "Juno 15 , ISM , in the gentle - tlo moonlight , with the moon presenting the old picture of the 'uow moon in the old moon's arnir. , ' shining from the constellation Gemini , with some bright stars 10 the north , I innocently inquired of the sago with the telescopic eye their names. Hut my ex pectations were lost in the dim twilight. Still looking along the line of the zodiacal constellations , from Gemini past Cancer and J.eo and Virgo , wiUi Libra beyond , and while the philosopher was tolling of how , at UU : ) p. m , , on August ill , IblU , ho saw with telescopic wonder the planet Saturn , nnd while dilating on the beauties that would bo shown moro on Juno l.r > , Ib'.iii ' , than August ill , Ib'JJ , of that iueen of the sky , I expected that the line points of excellence would bo pointed out , and the exact place of Uranus. Hut I was disappointed until , pointing to Alpha Lyrea , ho said : 'Thuro is a planot. ' " That Mr. Maiden is unacquainted with the names of the stars , or is imublo to point out the constellations , or that ho may even mistake a lixed star lor a planet , whllo it shows his lack of thorudimentsof astronom ical knowledge , is no proof of his lack of ex traordinary powois of sight. Mr. Couch himself hardly shows to greater advantage when ho speaks of making "tho virgin Vega blush with envv. " Vega Is a name derived from the Arabic nlnesr-al-wagi , moaning falling star. When Uo says , "Tho Sago of Ord certainly surpassed my ability , lor had I tried to sue Saturn at U:110 : p. m. , August ill , Ibtti , 1 would havu cllmuod some volcanic ) height and looked down Into Its uother depths to see by its reflection that queen of night. " If Saturn was not visible sky wards it could hardly bo seen by looking "down into1' the "nothor depth ! , " of a "vol- cai.ic height. " And It is surely straining .astronomic , if not poetic , liceiibe to call Satuiii " ( jueen of tno sky" and "queen of night. " Such remarks are apt to maku old man Saturn "blush witn envy. " Mr. Couch sneers at Mr. Maiden's "rudo apparatus , , " out ho should remember that the early observers had apparatus equally Hide , and that the foundation : , of astronomy were laid by observers who possessed no ap paratus at all. Mr. Maiden's theories may or may not bent nt variance with fuels ; this of itself is no argument against his possessing extraordi nary powers of vision. To see is ono thing ; to correctly describe what Is been , another. To observe niri to deduce theories us the re sult of such observation ate powers of dif ferent orders. ' 1 hat Mr. Couch has in this insianco nt least shown himself either an optician or an abtioiiomer will bo the opinion of few pos sessing capabilities of passing Judgment upon the sijUJect. As to his opinions on geucr.il topics or his skill la expressing them , they are nn a par witn his other acquirements. Hit , aphoristic utterances4 on 'yeuiub" ' ana "intelligunco" are very far from clear , but when ho attempts wit ho becomes moro obscure than u heathen oraclo. Wo would advise the gentleman when next ho take : , up thu role of Mahntma to study his lines before coming iu front of the foot lights.

( iiass cattle have made up a gocd share of the oiler- ings , and on these the advance has not lirrn so ; rent , although prices at the close are fully J5c better than nt the op 'iilng of the week. The week closed with a eonip ir.illwly light run , but IS5U head , or 600 fewer ihnii weio lieio a week ago , making u shoititgi1 this vve. k compaied wltlilast of over 4.000 head.

Hough 1,209 and liU9-lb. : steers sold at $4 and $4.25 and half fat stock nt $3,60. On anything showing coin , Undo was fairly brisk and tlio moderate supply soon exhausted. The bulk of the westerns were cither only lit for feeder.s orlmrdly good enough for haef. These bu- twlxt nml botweon" caltiu were In very p or demand nnd so'.d unsatlsf.ictoilly when they sold at till. Several lo.uls were still in llrst hands at the closo.

The extreme range of prices was from $1.2.1 to $250 fur poor to choice stock , the bulk of the fair to good butchers'and rannurs' stuff selling nt Irom $1.85 to * 2.10. Pair to good veal calves sold at about steady prices , around $2.60 and $4.50. Rough stock was in Indlllerent demand at very low prices , common to cholco bulls and stags selling at fiom $1.15 to $3. The feeder maiket lids week started out In bnd shnpu. Supplies of cattle were light , but wore made up entirely of feeders , and with the puns already full and the outside demand light , Monday's prices were tin-lowest of thu jear. W th ( ivory prospect of a big coin crop I tlio low prices prut ud tempting enough to 01 s- nectlvo coiintiy purchasers to Induce f" buying , nnd < tliu result lins been n free mo e munt all week , with a gradual improvement in prices.
