“SICK TO DEATH.”

PRINCE’^'TORMENT. NERVOUS AND HL, London, Sept. 1. There has been wide discussion of an American despatch purporting to describe an outburst by the Prinoe of Wales to a passenger on the Berftngaria at 3 a.m. “Can you imagine the torment of having the eye of every person bortiig into you every second of the day?” the Prince is reported to have asked. '7 hate this bunk. It is lothsome. 1 have to go through endless ,fcnd meaningless ceremonies.” The editor of “The People” (Mr* ilaiinen Staffer) issues an appeal to give the Prince a chance. He savs that it is easy to understand Uie ouuthamptoii incident, when he refused to be photographed, even after 5u pressmen signed a round-rohjin ‘asking him to appear on deck. He asterta that the Prince fled from Touquet and beau vide in orderto avoid the cuHous crowds there. The Prince appealed to the photographers, saying; “Please go aWay. 1 am sick to death. I oan’t have one day to myself.” Mr. fewaffer contrast* the Prince’s life with that of his grandfather, When the latter’s frequent visits to the National Sporting Club were not jhentioned, and he could do anything ho Liked without any attention* Constant photographing and Paragraphing has got on the Prutoe's nerves, and it is no wonder tbit he is looking nervous and over-strayed. It is inconceivable that any hmnan being can endure it much longer, jlaj s Mr. Swaffer.
