CITIZEN TRAIN IMPARTS PSYCHO.

Maharajah of Kapurthala Receives a Full
Charge of the Mystic Power.

And now the Maharajah of Kapurthala is
possessed of Psycho. At least George
Francis Train says so, and as the citizen is
the quartermaster in charge of the supply
of the power he ought to know. The maharajah
and Citizen Train sat in adjacent
boxes at the performance of Buffalo Bill's
Wild West yesterday and while the rough
riders of the world were giving their exhibitions
the Madison Square adept, simultaneously
with watching and enjoying the performance,
imparted the power to the king
of kings.

Of course the latter did not know this.
If he had known he would have objected,
for, according to Train's logic, the maharajah's
individuality is gone. He is no
longer a king, much less a king of kings.
As the citizen expressed it he is "like a
blade of grass in the prairie, a branch in the
forest, a grain of sand in the mountain or a
drop of water in the billow." The maharajah
does not yet know all this and Train is
by far too kind to tell him.

Citizen Train appeared in a fresh white
suit and a still larger bouquet yesterday.
The white clothes he is using to keep tab on
the dirt in the atmosphere of Chicago. He
puts on a clean suit every morning and at
night it is soiled much. He is going to stay
in Chicago until he can show a suit at night
nearly as clean as it was in the morning.
He has telegraphed his New York hotel surrendering
his room and says ho is going to
stay in Chicago to see the fair through all
right. He will not think of staying in New
York while the great exposition is in Chicago.
Where the bigs things are there is
Train, and consequently he is here.

The programme for yesterday included a
visit to Buffalo Bill's show. While
the turbaned rajah clapped his hands
in applause of the acts of
the rough riders the white-haired
Train swung his hat and hurraded. He
took a ride in the stage coach and when the
Indians attacked it he told how at one time
while riding In the west his coach was in
the same way fired upon and the man sitting
opposite to him was killed.

After the performance Major Burke introduced
the maharajah and the citizen.
The latter saluted the man from India in
Hindostan and then conversed with him in
French. He Invited the "king of kings" to
take dinner with him at the White Horse
inn someday this week and the latter accepted.
Train promises to give the maharajah
a jolly party.

Leaving the Indian prince, the citizen
went to the camp of the cowboys and Indians.
He made a speech to them and the
Indians cheered him. Major Burke said it
was the first time he had seen an Indian
applaud anyone. Then there was a long
chat between Cody and Train about old
times in Nebraska. They knew each other
well there and had much to talk about.

Train asked yesterday about the park in
which the children of the city play. This
morning he is going out to Lincoln Park to
play with the little ones.
