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.
