Gives His Views of America and American Customs. From the New York Herald. Just before he sailed for Europe Dr. A. Conan Doyle, the EngllBh author, was Interviewed. "I have not attended any of the sessions of your Lexow com mittee Investigations," the populur novelist added, "but I have read ull of the testimony In the newspapers, and the evidence of ofllclal corruption has made my blood boil. I can not under stand why the people have not risen and crushed the police force out of existence. It seems to me almost in credible that such a condition of bribery and blackmail should exist In a civilized country without a popular uprising. In England such a condition of affairs could never reach the magnitude it has assumed here. 'I find a certain philosophical resist nation about the Americuns which as tonishes me," Dr. Doyle continued "Your tramways deliberately tear up the streets of your cities, leave huge trenches for citizens to ride or drive Into. The companies run their tram ways to suit themselves und the public calmly looks on. and bears the annoy ance. In England, should the tramway corporations attempt to ride roughshod over the public, one man would cry out and the cry would be heard In three hours from London to Liverpool. The cry would bo taken up by the news papers and there would be a stop put to the annoyance without delay. But here find the tramways pay dividends of 24 per cent., run things to suit them selves anu, in iaet, the citizens are continually under the thumb of the corporations." Dr. Doyle said that he was not pleased with the American bar, referring to the saloon. He said that In England all drinking was done at tables, but here one had to stand up to a bar nnd drink pay and get out. There was no comfort In the American custom. He spoke In praise of our buildings and dwelt upon their height and hnnd some architecture. The Brooklyn bridge, ho said, would dwell long In his memory as the linest bridge he had ever seen. The American hotels, he said, would compare favorably with the European hosteliies, but the hotels In provincial towns were what Interested him most. He said that, while the hotels in London and other cities might be ns elegant ns those in the large cities here, the hotels In the smaller towns could not be compared with those in America. CLAIMS SPANISn THRONE. A Fourtccn-Fold Grandee More Interest ing Than Don Carlos. The most Jivtereating of the Spanish pretenders is nut Don Carlos, but a man whose name is seldom mentioned outside of the Iberian Peninsula. He is the Duke of Medina-Cell. Chief Defend er of the Faith, fourteen-fold grandee of Spain, first of all Oastillian knights, and direct descendant of Ferdinand and Isabella. For him and 'his family, the race of Bourbon-Anjou, who now rule Spain, are nothing more tfvan usurpers. As often aa a new king of Spain Is crawhed, the Duke's herald appears In the palace, and, in the presence of all the grandees of Spain, protests in the name of ihls lord against this usurpa tion, sets forth the claims of the Med ina-Cells to the throne, and challenges every knight wlio may venture to dis pute the legitimacy of the Duke'srlg'hti to defend hi J opinion in a duel to the death. As no grandee of Spain has ever seen fit to toke the Duke and his herald seri ously, the 'head of the house of Medina- Cell has been left free to spend the in come from 'his enormous fortune on beautiful Spanish girls 'and to make perennial tours of his estates. It is said that he can travel from one end of Spain to the other and sleep every night in his own house. , yLEADERS OF LOW PRICES. . , 2 he Fair '. 400402 Lackawanna Avenue.
