PERSONALS, 
J. H. Puleston, of London, Eng., has 
bought for $1,037,500 the S. J. Rose domain of 
1,950 acres, near Los Angeles, Cal. 
Tiik President Jims invited his sister, Miss 
Cleveland, to take a Christinas dinner with 
him at Oak View, the latest name for his coun 
try place. Pretty Prospect, or Red Top, and 
she will probably remain some time thereafter. 
The nurse of the baby Alfonso XIII. of 
Spain is a famous girl now. When the royal 
youngster received his three decorations from 
the King of Portugal she exclaimed: “Now I 
trust his little Majesty will keep his nose 
clean.” 
George W. Baxter, the new Governor of 
Wyoming, is a very young man, not over 30. 
He is a son of Judge Baxter, formerly Gover¬ 
nor of Arkansas, and one of the principals in 
what was known as “the Brooks-Baxter war” 
in Is7 l in that State. 
Dr. Warren, an associate of the Washing¬ 
ton Ornithological Bureau of the Agricultu¬ 
ral Department, says that hawks and owls 
feed on mice and insects, and not on poultry 
as has been commonly'supposed! In examin¬ 
ing a number of the stomachs of these birds 
he found no poultry. 
Walter S. Gordon, brother of Governor 
Gordon, of Ga.. who recently died, amassed 
three fortunes in six years. He and his broth¬ 
er realized in the Georgia Pacific $1(57,000; in 
the (Sheffield t hey cleared $100,000, and shortly 
before Walter’s death they sold the Indiana, 
Alabama and Texas Railroad for $1.50,000. 
Letters which have been published in Paris 
reveal the fact that the Comte dc Paris visited 
the Bartholdi Foundry iu 1S73 and subscribed 
$1,009 toward the cost of the statue of Liberty. 
In the letter accompanying the gift the Comte 
said he took the greatest interest in everything 
contributing to the union of France and 
America. 
When Rev. Sam .Tones, in Omaha. Neb., 
asked any man present who had never spoken 
a cross word to his wife to stand up, a rottud- 
faced, good-natured individual, with a beard, 
stood up. “Thunk God, there’s onp man who 
never said a cross word to tiis wife!”.said Rev. 
Bam. "I'm a bachelor!” shouted the rouud- 
faood man. 
Governor Gilbert Pierce, of Dakota, 
who was appointed by President Arthur just 
after the Chicago Convention, has again ten¬ 
dered his resignation to accept the managing- 
editorship of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press, at a 
salary of $5,900 a year. He is a Stalwart Re¬ 
publican, and tendered his resignation upon 
the incoming of the present administration; 
but-wus asked to hold over as a personal favor 
to President Cleveland, as no better man could 
lie found. 
Miss Winnie Davis’s flint appearance iu 
public was at the laying of the corner-stone 
of the Confederate Monument at Montgom¬ 
ery, Ala. She hud previous to that time 
lived in privacy at Beauvoir. Ou the trip 
from Montgomery to Atlanta, after the laying 
of the corner-stone, Gen. Gordon presented 
Miss Davis to a crowd at Newman. Ga., as 
“The Daughter of the Confederacy,” a title 
by which she is generally known in the 
South. 
Prince Ferdinand, of Hohenzolleru. of the 
elder and Catholic line, has been chosen by 
his uncle, Kiug Charles, of Roumauia. as his 
heir, for Charles is childless. This was ar¬ 
ranged a year or two ago, and the prince, who 
is 2.1 years old, will soon leave his Prussian 
lieutenancy and become an officer of the 
Roumanian army. It is said that when he 
took his leave of Kaiser Wilhelm the old man 
said: “1 think thou hast had more pleasure in 
Potsdam than ever thou wilt find later down 
in Roumauia.” 
Prince Nicholas, of Mingrelin, Russia's 
candidate for the sovereignty ol Bulgaria, is 
49, u colonel iu the Russian army, aud aid-de¬ 
cutup to the Czar. He is the divorced hus¬ 
band of a daughter of (leu. Count Adlerberg, 
ex-Miuistcr of War. He has a 19-year-old son, 
mid is somewhat of a favorite iu St. Peters¬ 
burg society. Miugrcllaisu part of ancient

miles, mostly mountains and swamps infested 
with malignant levers—u suvngo country 
with no roads and hardly any improvements, 
Its 240,000 inhabitants are physically and 
mentally the lowest typo of Georgians. It 
was conquered iu 1804, but the Prince was al¬ 
lowed a limited rule till 1807, when the father 
of Nicholas was altogether turned out, but 
consoled with a bounty of $750,000.
