The history of th*< little prince la In-
teresting and romantic.
He was bora in a Siberian mine, the
m of a Russian officer, who. with 37
other*, was sentenced to life impriaon-
ment for an alleged complicity in a
plot to kill the Czar.
Russian law compel* every male cit-
izen to report for military duty upon
reaching the age of 21. but the child-
like appearance of the prlnee caused
him to be overlooked until his name
and age were discovered on the rec-
ords by the governor of the penal set- j
Dement. He had not then reached j
bis 28th year He had never report- j
i d for military duty His father.;
(’apt N’ieholl, at work In the mines, i
was ordered to upiiear before the
government immediately and account
for his son s disposition. He was ta
kin before ! he governor, where his
talker established his identity. The
matter was reported. He was order
e l to Russia for further investigation.
The ('tear, being convinced of his age
was amazed at his size. Questioned
by the (’/.Hr hit fell uiHin his knees
and implored his majesty to have the
proceedings that condemned his par-
ents investigated. Result—Ills par-
ents' liberty.

ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA.
Change Greeted With Crowded House
—Violet Black In West Point
Playlet.
The Orpheum theater this week pre-
sents a bill that would draw a crowd-
ed house any whore.
Thu three Weston sisters, present-
ing varied and musical acts, are enter-
taining artists who invariably win well
merited applause.
Eva Madge, the "lightning change
artist," has the audience guessing from
sttui to finish, li does not seem pos-
sible that one can make changes as
quickly as this little lady does. Miss
Madge gives a very realistic present-
ation of a "Hold up on the King's
Highway."
Violet Mack, Frank Darien and Sid-
ney K lllair present a very pleasing
act having to do with life at West
i’otnt. The playlet deals with the
vicissitudes of a cadet's love making,
and Is Interesting throughout. Violet
Black is remembered with delight by
those who had the good fortune to see
her with Richard Mansfield, Olga Ncth-
ersole and others of the world famous
actors.
One of the most unique acts ever
witnessed by an El Paso audience is
that presented by ValftZZl, a good jug-
gling athlete.
Vnluzzi does all kinds of tricks with
a solid steel ball, juggling and rolling
up an incline, standing on the ball
and carrying a bottle on bis head, with
a glass held in his teeth.
The Keaton family presents an
amusing comedy stunt, and Mrs. Kea-
ton has anumber of good soletcions
on a saxophone that please.
The Parros are excellent gymnasts.

Manager Rich Gives El Paso Theater-
goers Another Fine Attraction—A
Large Audience and a Fine Show.
The coming of Chun. 11. Hanford to
El Paso is always the signal for a
large aud fashionable audience at the
Crawford, aud the audience that greet-
ed this noted tragedian last night was
a tribute to his impularlty "with 1C1
Paso theatergoer*. The Bard of Avon’s
great human passion play "Antony and
Cleopatra, was the bill, and If was
tile most brilliantly spectacular pro-
duction of the play ever seen In the
west.
To prepare the audience for the pro-
duction and to put it fully en rapport
with the play a series of moving pic-
tures showing scenes in Rome and
Egypt Introduced the first act. The
costuming and staging were rich. Mr.
Hanford's portrayal of the character of
the proud a dnnoble Antony, the great
warrior and leader who lost a crown
to follow the smiling lips of the beau-
tiful "YVIzzard of the Nile," Egypt's
queen, was superb Mr Hanford Is
a magnificent reader, with a voice in
consonence with the noble line#
Bhakespeare put# in the matuh of An-
tony, and he is a finished actor, with
n splendid stage appearance. Miss
Alice Wilson# Interpretation of the
difficult character of Cleopatra, the
beaoutiful and willful syren of Egypt,
met every expectation. She is e#i»e-
dally strong in the first act In the
scene where she hears of the death of
Fulvta. The entire support is excep-
tionally strong the cast being as fol-
lows:
Marc Antoy.............Mr. Hanford
Octavius Caesar. . Mr. A. MncKensie
M. Aemllleu* lo»pidus, Mr. M. C. Stone

Report That Baseball Man Did Not
Get Square Deal From Colorado
Bunch.
The following from the Albuquer-
que Journal will lie of interest to a
number of El Paso baseball fans:
Word comes from Pueblo that Al-
bert Clancy, the crack infielder who
held down the second hag for the
McIntosh Browns the last two seasons,
and who was signed up for the com-
ing season by Frank Selee, manager
of the Pueblo team of the Western
league, has returned to Santa Fe, and
the probabilities are that he will not
wear a Pueblo uniform this year.
When Clancy left here for Pueblo, It
was with the understanding that a po-
sition would he secured for him in
that city during the winter. It now
seems that the Pueblo fans have not
lived up to this part of the contract
and he has returned to his home in
Santa Fe. Clancy, has an offer to at-
tend Leland Stanford university the
next semester and may decide to go
there. It Is said that Pueblo still
holds a contract for next season and
may hold him to it. but it is rather
doubtful whether they will ho able to
do so, as it seems that they have not
given him exactly a square deal.

THE BIG KID 18 IN JUAREZ.
Eugene Hale’s Rooom.
The private offices of three or four
senate leaders are very important
places, because there the men who
guide the destinies of legislation at the
north end of the capitol sit at the
round tables and decide what shall
be done. These private offices are
generally back of the committee
rooms.
One of them looks like the fireside
corner of a well-to-do New England
farmhouse. It is the private office of
Senator Hale of Maine, and is imme-
diately over the private office of Sen-
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island, both
rooms being much frequented by the
leaders for conference purposes. First
of all. Senator Hale keeps a wood fire
burning in the grate. It is one of the
very few blazing hearth* at the cap-
itol. Then he keeps a number of rock-
ing chairs, just the kind one sees on
the farm up In Maine. They are far
moro comfortable than the stifT-
backed furniture with which the cap-
itol is over-run. There is never a
whiff of tobacco smoke in there, for
the senator never smokes and Ihe
statesmen understand it so well that
they throw their cigars away when
they enter.
When Senators Aldrich, Allison,
Crane and Knox get comfortably set-
tled into these rocking chairs and
Senator Hale pulls his broad new ma-
hogany rocker out of the corner,
there's generally something going on
of interest to the country.—Washing-

An Ancient Instance.
Belshazzar was giving his great
feast and the wine flowed like water.
“Inasmuch as I'm the whole works,”
he said, “I don't think a proclamation
by a chief of police or anybody else is
going to stop this^affair at 1 o'clock a.
m. or any other hour!”
No sooner had he uttered tills boast
than the handwriting appeared on the
wall.—Chicago Tribune.

Didn't Like Her Hat.
An unleashed live turkey caused a
little panic In a crowded northbound
subway express train between the
I Grand Central station and 72d street
' in the traffic crush at 6 o'clock Wed-
nesday night. The man who carried
the turkey said that he had been lucky
at a raffle, but he was unlucky enough
to bo put off the train at 72d street.
The Misses Alice and Teresa Hughes
who live at No. 148 Hudson avenue,
Brooklyn, were seated in front of the
man with the bird. The trailing feath-
er on Miss Alice's*hat angered the
gobbler. When Miss Hughes moved
her head the bird made a vicious peck
at the feather and then the Misses
Hughes fainted, but not before they
had screamed. The turkey escaped
from the man, wrecked the hat and
then gave bis owner a lively chase.
The passengers in other cars began
to get uneasy, thinking there was a
fight. Some of the men took part in
chasing the bird. Altogether there
was a lively time of it in the car be-
fore the Thanksgiving dinner was re-
captured.
Discovered!
Mrs. Jubh—Wake up, John, I’m sure
a burglar is down in the pantry, and
he's eating all my jries. ,
Mr. J—Well, I don't care, so long as
he don’t die in the house.
