Mother of Ills illostevs. T IS NOT NECES- sarlly expensive to give a dinner to the Prince of Wales. The friends of a young Ameriean widow who has re- ceived much atten- tion from the Prince at Homburg and in England in the last two years are telling of a dinner which she gave last summer to him at the German wateeing place. There were five per- sons at the dinner, and it cost only $60. The widow is well known in Nev.' York and Boston society. She is tall, sleader, and remarkably handsome. About four years ago she married a ,wealthy Boston architect. She and her mother have been seen frequently in Central Park on bicycles. Her hustand died about a year after their marriage, and left her nearly a million dollars. Before their marriage she had met the Prince at an English country house where she was visiting, and since her widowhood, she has retained his warm friendship. Her acquaintance with him began through the admiration his eld- est sop showed for her long before be- ing engaged to Princess Mary. The Duke of Clarence was a frequent. visitor at some of the country houses where the beautiful American girl was wel- comed, and spoke to his father about her. The latter did not disguise his ad - A New York paper, referring to the recent Alillwardt episode, says: \This egg business ought to be stopped.\ Well, Ahlwardt is doing his full share; he succeeded in stopping three of them the other night.

Weeth noting—the assertion of the Eaglish trade journals that in case of brief war between this country and England, the only effect on the grain trade would be increased prices. Against shortness of supply England would expect to be protected by heavy shipments from Russia and India. If the war were prolonged the difficulties about supply would be greater.

In addition to these societies In France are the farmers' syndicates, In which about 900.000 persons are con- cerned. The syndicates ,buy fertilizers and other chemicals for vine culture, maintain laboratories for the analy- sis of soils, publish monthly price lists and perform other services for the gen- eral benefit. A peculiar fact in respect to pe- troleum is the difference of conditions under which that oil occurs in Rus- sia and America. In the former it is found in strata of the tertiary period. usually a formation resembling a quicksand and at depths of only a few ! hundred feet—in this country it oc- curs at great depths in the older com- pact sandstones and limestones of the Carboniferous, Devonian, and Silurian periods. The oil of Russia consists of a lass of hydro -carbons known as napthenee, belonging to the benzine groups, while American oil is mainly composed of paraffine; it is to this dif- ference that the great variation be - the products from these oils Is due, for, while American oil yields a very large proportion, say about 70 per cent., of illuminating oil exactly suit - ell for combustion in ordinary lamps, the Russian oil produces far lege et such oil and 'a larger proportion of high-class lubricating oil.

It is said to be one of the very few appearances in recent years the Prince has made at the theater without some other member of the royal family. The widow and her mother returned to New York about six weeks ago. On the 'occasion of the Prince's birthday, a few weeks ago, the widow sent her congrat- ulations by cable, and she receive.1 a prompt personal reply from the Prince. She refers fa her acquaintance with the Prince very seldom, but her mother has many friends, and that is the way it became known that her daughter's din- ner to the Prince cost only $60. teea_ AN OLD MAID'S EPITAPH. Old Abigail Henderson had Ni, Con- fidence in Mankind. One of Depew's :-4iries at the Buffalo club dinner which does not appear in his reported speech was one told by his friend Mr. Bishop, for a long time presi. dent of the New Haven road. \He is now,\ said Mr. Depew, \resting in his old age jn honorable retirement and reflection upon the sins which are fre- quent with a railway president. He told me the other day that when he via. ited, for the first time in sixty years, the place of his birth, he began to in- qune about the old lady and old maid, Ahigail Henderson, who was his teach- er in his early youth—before he went to the academy and thence to Yale— and finding no record of her among the reminiscences of the town went to the churchyard and there discovered that she had erected a reminiscence of her- self. It was a'monument on which was inscribed: 'Abigail Henderson, died SWEPT THROUGH A GORGE. Terrible Experience or Two Army Ex. Pierers in the Meek Canyou. Lieutenants Davis and Potter of the United States army, with their guides, Barney Weaver and John Goldy, ar - rived at Yuma recently by boat front Needles. The army officers had been assigned the duty of inspecting the riv- er front Black canyon to Yuma, with a view to improving the navigation. They met with nothing of any interest from Needles northward, but on the first part of their trip they had excitement and danger enough to last them the rest of their lives says the San Francisco Call. Their boat,which weighed 850 pounds, was sent by rail to Peach Springs and from there by wagon twenty-two miles to Diamond Creek. This is 200 miles further up the river than required for their purpose, but they wanted to see some of the scenery of Grand canyon. The boat, supplies and men had to be lowered with ropes down the sides of the canyon. The discovery was at once made that the boat was not adapted for the voyage, being a keel boat, narrow and heavy. In a short time the raft became utterly unmanageable an ev- ery moment threatened them t11 i t : death. They were bumbed on 1 4 8 thrown against the sides of the canyon, drenched with spray and shot through gorges with the rapidity of an express train. With salvation out of their sight there was apparently nothing but cer- tain death ahead of them. Above rose the perpendicular walls of the canyon thousands of feet. Still the boat kept in the water for seventeen terrible miles, when a rocky rapid was reached. Quick as aightning tile boat was tossed bottom upward, rolled over and finally crushed to pieces. The four men strug- gled to save their lives. It was useless to try to save anything else. But, strangely, none of them was hurt and they reached a place of safety. At once their dangerous situation forced itsell AMONG THE APACHE INDIANS. gPficHE MoT1/17..1\( CMLO .11)/WHE GIRL. W/77-/- CRARY/NG , /3.9.5/YE7: VOONG , WHITE - NOUN ri9IN4PliCHE WOAMN, Capt.

Contact with the whites, however, is modifying their habits, and they are • miration for her after he had seen her two or three times. When the blefeling craze came the widow and her mother practiced long and regularly, and soon became experts in riding. Their home for three years has been in New York. and all last spring they were to be seen every pleas- ant morning on their wheels preparing for a bicycle trip abroad. They want abroad early in July, and took their wheels with them. They had the mint - eat kind of bicycle costumes, and when they arrived at Homburg they attracted much attention by their graceful ap- pearance as they glided over the roads. The Prince of Wales arrived at Hom- burg and became devoted to the young widow and her mother. It is said that he was so charmed by the bicycle cos- tumes that he often asked the young widow and her mother to wear them on informal occasions at the club house. The Prince asked the younger woman to attend the races one day, and said: \After the races we will have din- ner.\ \Why wouldn't it be a good idea for me to give the dinner to you,\ asked the widow. \That would suit me.\ replied the Prince. Then. In accordance with custom, she asked him what he would like to have for dinner, and whom he wished to have invited. The Prince suggested a :dear soup, a equal), and hock and champagne of a certain brand. \As to the rest, suit yourself,\ he said. TIO invited his intimate friend Sykes and a Duke and (Mehemet.

I can guarantee that it is not only one of the finest vintages but also not less than forty years of age.\ The august Colonel raised his glass, watched its radiant flush against the sunlight, pledged her good health with fitting toast, smacked his lips, took a gentle - whiff of the wine as a teaser to life palate, then drank it off with a dream-like 'expression on his face as if he wished his neck was as long as a giraffe's and he could taste three running yards of It going down at once. \Ahem!\ he said grandly, \it is in- tieed glorious—so mellow and rich.

Warning: Never discuss old maids and old wines in the same breath. on their minds. There they were with out provisions and shut in to meet cer- tain death by starvation. They started clown the canyon, hoping to find a trail by which they could get out. After many a weary mile the men decided to follow some of the sheep trails, which were only a few inches wide in places. Success attended their efforts, although at times they hung between water and sky on the edges of the bluff. Occasion- ally their strength seemed to fail, but a sight of that awful chasm below was sufficient. At last the top was reached, but they were delivered from the ter- ' rors of the canyon only to find them- selves in a desert. They struck wit bravely, knowing that they had only to keep going to reach the railroad again.
