Prince Alexander of Teak is a
rother of Queen Mary. He will
oke up his duties in Oetober, at
he expiration of the term of the
uke of Connaught. The Prince is
keen soldier, but he has had little
41ministraitive experience,, He is,
ow ever, a hard worker and a good
rganizer. He ha.s done much • in
he cause, of charity, especially in
ehalf of hospitals and in the fur-
herance of cancer research.
The Princess of Teck is a great
avorite, and she is un:animtiously
oted the prettiest and the best
reseed of the British Royal Prin-
esses.
Prince Alexander, who is a major
n the Second Life Guards, served
n the Matabeleland campaign and
n Sauth Africa for two years, and
to his other tittles added • that of the
istinguished Service:Order, which,
ext to the Victoria Cross, is the
hief ambiteen of the military men
n Great Britain.

br those of the Royal Family, who

of Prince. The ante Dukeof Teckc

Frank Haynes Was Hanged at Syd-
ney—Killed hotel Proprietor.
A despatch Brom Sydney, N., S.,
says: Frank Haynes expiated fee
the murder of B. S. Atkinson on the
'scaffold Friday afternoon at 5.41.

fession of his erime in the presence
of Jailer Earn and Captain Fuller-
ton.
On the night of the 15th of Aug-
ust last the body of Benjamin S.
Atkinson, proprietor of the Minto
Hotel, Sydney, and a well-known
horseman, was found on the road,
eight miles from the city. Atkin-
son had a bungalow at Mira, and
the original supposition was that he
had been killed as a result of hiis
horse having bolted. There were a
number of suspicious circumstances
connected with the case, however,
and the arrest of Haynes followed
the investigation of these. Haynes
who was supposed to have been a
native of Nevada, only arrived in
Sydney in the early summer of lash
year. He had been on intimate
terms with Mrs. Atkinson, the wife
of the murdered man.

BILL TO ABOLISH TIPPING.
Senator Davis Seeks to Put an End
to "Demoralizing" System.
A despatch from Ottawa says:
Tips will be' abolished within a
month if Senator Davis, Prince Al-
bert, and a number of other Sena-
tors and members of Paxliaanent
have their way, and it looks as if
they might. Senator Davie bill,
which provides for e. fine or impri-
sonment for tipping, and making
the employer, the employee and the
person offering the gratuity liable,
was given second reading in the
Senate on Wednesday.
In moving the reading Senator
Davis sails that within recent years
en intolerable system 4f petty
bribery had grown up all *ver the
world, known as the tipping system.
It had become such a nuisance that
it was time it was grappled with by
legislation, and he believed his bill
would have the support of ninety,
per cent. of the people of the coun-
try, who were now subject to a
growing scale of graft and tips in
order to obtain acoom;modation and
service. A person on a journey had
to constantly have his hand in his
pocket, and had to brib.e his way
throughout his trip. The Senator
said that tipping had. a. demoralize
ing effect on persons who received
tips. It Thad a tendency to• pauper-
ize waiters, porters and other per-
sons, who should stand on a plane
of manhood above the servile posi-
bion which they were placed in
through. the acceptance of gratui-
ties.Bnnployers should pay their
servants, and not expect the public
to pay their' help. Tipping also de-
veloped •a spirit of arrogance on the
part of those serving the public.
Senator Ross of Middleton symi-
pathazed with the object of the bill,
and said, "Every man should pay
once, but no law of God or man
should make him 'pay twice."
Senators Poirier, Gordon and
Oloran all spoke in favor of the bill
and' it was given a second reading.
