NEW TORK, July 31.-The recent death
of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Span
ish throne, will recall to many Americans
who have toured In Switzerland during
the last few summers the picturesque
figure which this exiled bit of royalty
made In the hotels and along; the lake
front of Lucerne. To many travelers It
used to be far more Interesting to watch
the comings aid goings of Don Carlos
than to make the ascent of the Regl or
Pllalus. ,
The cosmopolitan crowd that drifts along
the Sweltzerhof and National Quays, com
posed as It Is to a certain degree of the
exiled element of European courts who
find this smiling resort a convenient place
In which to lose themselves, has an at
traction that never grows tiresome.
"What do you suppose he has done?"
you will hear a bright faced American
girl ask the man sitting with her under
the chestnuts that line the walk along the
waterfront, as an erect and distinguished
personage dressed In the clothes that
Europeans consider fashionable passes In
the crowd. And then, If he Is versed In
the Intricacies of continental Intrigues and
diplomatic gossip, he will .ell her, dis
creetly of course, of the misdirected
enthusiasm and unfortunate destinies that
have landed these almost notables In a
place to rub elbows with Just plain peo
ple. And In this assembly there was no
figure more conspicuous than that of Don
Carlos.
He lived In one of the big cool hotels
that face the lake. Not especially In evl
donee during the day, it was at the dinner
hour that he came Into the limelight
Those who knew his habtis would point
out a little group, generally consisting of
two women and a man in evening clothes,
seated near one of the elevators. They
were the little court which Don Carlos
kept with him, perhays because they were
his faithful friends or perhaps because
their presence was a sop to the self
esteem which apparently no reverses of
fortune could take from htm.
The three courtiers rose as the elevator
door opened and Don IV s and his wife
stepped into the large reception room
Each of the ladles-ln-walting would ap
proach Don Carlos and drop the deepest
of courtesies. Then he would advance
with magnanimity written in every move
and allow them to kiss his hand. After
that the ladles would courtesy to "the
qui en, as Impertinent Americans were
wont to call her, as the gen tlemen-ln-wait
Ins fell on one knee and bent over the
royal hand.
When the little ceremony was finished
the party would converse for a few mln
utes. Joined perhaps by a few other per
sons around the lobby, who would! ap
proach Don Carlos with the same expres
sions of courtesy. They would listen to
whatever he had to say with the greatest
deference. Then the pretender, usually
with a lady-ln-waltlng on each side, would
lead the procession in the direction of the
public restaurant, waving his hands and
arms freely as he talked.
hen Don Carlos walked into the res
taurant he was followed by every eye in
the room. As he crossed the threshold he
would walk ahead of the others, and at
the table, of course, the place of honor
was his. The waiters would bustle about,
brushing off the chairs with their napkins,
the nialtre d'hotel would do a great deal
of finger snapping anil the water boys
would drop bowls of ice in the general
confusion. No one sat down until he had
taken his chair, and he was berved first
as each of the courses were brought to
the table. When he spoke the others re
tained a respectful silence, and when he
chose to interrupt another speaker there
was no disputing the conversational right
of way. Yet with all this his table man
ners were not all that one would expect
of royalty.
With his massive shoulders stooped far
over the cloth and his big, heavy face low
ered to a point a few Inches from his plate,
Don Carlos would eat enormously, con
versing volubly with those around him
without regard always for the amount of
food which at that moment he was In the
act of swallowing.
"Well, that isn't my idea of a king at
all," the American young women would fay
as they watched him spear a peach with
his knife, quarter It with a few bold strokes
and then carry the pieces to his mouth by
means of the, blade. "I'm glad he lost out
on that ruling business."
Later In the evening he would take his
stick and -soft straw hat of generous brim
and go with his wife for a promenade along
the quays. With him on these occasions
were two creatures that added a great deal
to the picture. On-e was a Great Dane dog,
a beautiful animal of huge bulk, whose
slate gray coat was always glossy and
whose long red tongue always hung from
his wide Jowls, displaying the most savage
set of fangs that dog ever grew. He was
an animal to strike terror Into the heart
of anyone who ventured too close to the
pretender.
Dragged along by the leash which looped
the dog's collar was a little Moorish boy
possibly years old. His coal black face
and shiny white teeth shone out beneath
a scarlet fei. A blue Jacket not long
enough to hide a broad gold fringed sash
and baggy pantaloons made up his cos
tume.
Some said that Don Carlos feared
assassins and that the dog was trained
to fly at the throat of any one who ex
hibited symptoms of approaching him with
evil Intent. At any rate they were never
seen far away, this black urchin and the
dog of savage mien. Whether he was
really as savage as he looked there was no
way of telling absolutely, although along
the waterfront you could hear stories with
out number of miraculous escapes had
through the faithfulness of his bodyguard.
But whether savage or not, the appear
ance of the animal served as an unassail
able bulwark behind which the Moorish
boy could retire whenever he desired. Per
haps the knowledge of that fact was what
made this ebony stripling bold enough to
stir the wrath of the other children around
the hotels. Along the piazzas he could
be seen leaning across the broad back or
the dog as he chatted with the stiff f recked
European children playing around, and
from this fortified position he would s?nd
out taunts whioh caused the objects of his
derision no small amount of discomfiture,
but which under the circumstances they
were not willing to reeent.
But when nil master came in tight what
a change came over the rascal. His arms
would describe a great seml-elrcle, all
eervllRy, he would trot along beside the
dog to mount guard over the pretender.

TJUC1E SAM AND HIS MAIL BOXtS
Efforts to Break Vo Clandestine
Correspondence and How Trouble
Occasionally Arises Therefrom.
"Something: Queer hannena everv d.v In
the postofflce," observed one of the officials
of the Omaha postofflce Monday. "It would
hardly do to print all of these things be
cause they embrace every phase of life,
covering the romantic, tragic and criminal.
It is the purpose of the I'ostoffice denart.
meat to make the postal service essentially
convenient to every walk In life. And right
there is where the department la confi-
det.ced and gold-bricked to the limit Xot
that the department Is easy, but rather
that the very system is availed of hv
sharpers to work their grafts. It does not
all lie with the general dellvrry either, as
is claimed by a writer in a recent maga
zine article in which be severely, and not
wholly without rc-aaon, assails the general
delivery .yatem. Here In Omaha we can
fairly well control the general delivan-v
plan and have so arranged affairs that
known parties, residents of Omaha, who
seek to have mall to be called for at gen
eral delivery will generally find the mail
sent to their home address. This applies
more particularly to young girls, whose
home address is known, and the depart
ment has thereby been the means of break
ing up clandestine correspondence.
Private Boa Trouble.
'Cut we cannot slop all of it. No more
can e undertake to compel the absolute
identification of each person who asks for
a letter. Another evil is the private box.
Only recently a woman presented a key
to a private box which her husband had
accidentally dropped and demanded of us
the number of the box. We could not give
it to her under the postofflce regulations,
and she went away in a fury charging us
with being In collusion with her husband,
who was carrying on a questionable cor
respondence. The result was that the cou
ple was finally divorced.
"Another case is recalled where an Irate
wife discovered the number of the private
box of her husband, and she demanded the
mall therefrom. The demand had to be
declined, as she had "o written order from
her husband for that mall. She became
very angry and charged the department
with being a party to her domestic Infe
licity. I do not know how the case came
out ultimately, but the husband gave up
the box.
One Strange Case.
"One of the strangest cases was where a
woman hired a box for a couple of quar
ters. The letters copiing to her address
were almost Invariably mailed from Omaha
and always in the same handwriting. It
was, finally discovered that the lessee of
the box had always written the letters
heiself and to herself. She disappeared,
and after one of the letters had been re
turned from the dead letter office it was
shown that she had entertained herself
with the delusion that she had a son In
some distant college, and the Utters she
wrote to herself were a. if written from
him. It was a pathetic thing, full of ro
mance and sorrow. But It pleased her,
and was probably her only solace Just a
dream of w hat 'it might have been.' "

NEPTUNE AID TO HARRIMAN
Sea Monarch with His Pork Pots
In a, Strong; Lick for
Udward.
It has remained for E. H. Harrlman to
show those gentlemen who have long known
the efficacy ot water as applied to stock
Just how to water land and ta!-h In the
water. In the demonstration Mr. Harrlman
has also exhibited how the Atlantic ocean
nas worked night and day for him, Just for
the love of the thing, and gone right ahead
piling yp assets for the magnate faster
than the Vienna doctors could divorce him
from the Interest thereon.
It Is not known whether Mr. Harrlman
had any private understanding with the
ocean or not, in violation of the commerce
clause of the constitution, but however that
may be the big water kept right on the Job
year after year, piling up land for the rail
road man and taking it away from his
neighbors, and now the courts have held
that Mr. Harrlman is in no wise to blame
for the generosity of the waves and that
the former owners of the land cannot ex
pect to get back what was handed over to
him as the gracious gift of manifest and
oceanic destiny.
Jeremiah Lott was the owner of Barren
Island and his descendants now hold the
title. Tradition says that one day Colli. P.
Huntington was flirting with the sea down
at Rockaway Point when he heard Luke
Perkins, the oysterman, allow that It was
a cinch that the water would some day cut
off a lot ot Lou's land and transfer It over
to Hock. way Point.
Nobody ever had to hit the late Mr. Hunt
ington on the head with a .ledge hammer
iu Older to make him take a hint and he
hiked up to Albany and told the state that
he would appreciate a grant that would
transfer Rockaway Point to him. The state
wss obliging and let him have It,
Then It was turned over to the Southern
I'acifiu railroad, so tbat one day, when the
ocean had done its work, Just like old man
Luke Perkins said it would, the Harriman
road might come along and build a big
shipping and railroad terminal on the bait
that the state gave and the properly that
was caught from the seat with u bait.
Day by day and night by night w hile Mr.
Harrlman was contrlbutinu to t tie campaign
fund and elevating Mr. Fi.sh to the position
of president emeritus of the Illinois Cen
tral, to say nothing of aoliliHng up minor
lines all the way from Long staple Inland,
S. C, to Chihuahua, Mexico, the sea ket
piling up more ofLott's land tor the use
of the future station and dorks.
The I.ott outfit fell into the error that
when the sea moved their land they had a
right to move with It, and they went over
and squatted on Itockaway Point. They
watched the sea moving over the rest of
their possessions with satisfaction, under
the delusion that they were getting moved
over to the mainland without paying any
moving charges.
Just about the time the ocean got through
moving the land, along came Mr. Harrlman
with pile driver to anchor what had been
handed him and told the Lotts to. get off.
Judge Thomas I. Chatfield, In the federal
court at Brooklyn, decided Saturday that
the ocean had the right to give Mr. Harrl
man the land It If wanted to and that the
Lotts would have to move and let the
Southern Pacific have the transplanted
estate. New York World.
Couldn't Stand the Illvalry.
Rome was burning and the wall of Nero's
