Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Jan. 29.-The venerable Earl Grey,
who still lives in seclusion on his magnificent
estate in Northumberland, issues a long mani
festo on British policy in South Africa. He
severely criticizes the government, and de-
clares that little has been done toward per-
forming the duty that Goschen says rest, on
England for the welfare of uncivilized races, or
that extension of British influence over them
which Lord Salisbury considers so important
with view to the extension of British COM
merce. He considers it desirable that imme-
diate measures be taken to establish British
authority in South Africa, and is convinced
that this might be accomplished without i'm
posing any burden on the British treasury
Earl Grey fairly sums up the views of a small
but active band of politicians among whom
must now be reckoned Chamberlain. who is a
shareholder in the new British East Africa
company.

MIR. STANHOPE's PREDICTION.
He Says Europe is on the Brink of the
Most Horrible War Ever Known.

LONDON, JAN 29.-Mr. Edward Stanhope,
secretary Of state for war, addressed meeting
Of his constituents in the Horncastle division
of Lincolnshire last evening. In the course Of
his remarks Mr.. Stanhope said thunder cloud
was hanging over Europe, and that sooner or
later, probably sooner, il would burst, bring
ing the fiercest and most horrible war ever
known. II was impossible, he declared, to
view the preparations for war now being made
throughout Europe without feeling that war
was approaching. He hoped, however, that
the wisdom of England's statesmen would pre-
vent that nation from becoming involved.
THE SPEECH SEVERELY CRITICIZED.
The Pal Nal Gdzefte. commenting on Mr..
Stanhope's speech, denounces the folly of such
utterances as those of Mr.. Stanhope and says
they are calculated TO do much mischief IL
declares that Mr.. Stanhope's needless rhetoric
is quite unjustifed. and expresses the hope
that Lord Salisbury will take prompt measures
to correct the damage done by the blunder Of
the minister of war.

ABERDEEN, OAK, Jan. 29-News has reached
here that two school children perished in the
storm Friday night, and that third is not ex-
pected to survive the exposure. Their names
were French, and the party consisted of two
little boys and their elder sister, aged eighteen
The French family lives about IL miles east of
Hitchcock. When taken to school by an older
brother in the morning the children promised
to wait until he came for them at night.
Children belonging to other families were
taken home, but these refused proffered assist
ance, saying they would stay in the school
house all night if their brother did not come.
1t appears he did start, but could not make his
team face the storm and gave it up. After
waiting till dusk they started home, but lost
the road and wandered in the deep snow until
exhausted. The girl was severely frozen and is
unconscious. If she survives she will lose the
lower portion of her limbs and possibly one or
both arms.

DECISION As TO WOOLEN NOILs.-Assistant
Secretary Maynard in letter to the collector
Of customs at New York, says that report has
been received from Special Agent Phenix to
the effect that there is a great diversity of
opinion at the ports Of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia in regard to the classification of
wooden noils particularly as to whether the
noils were taken from first, second, or third
class wool. The agent suggests that inasmuch
as the noils are usually invoiced and entered
simply as third class" or carpet" noils, that
the consignee be required to specify in their
to show from what wool they are made,
whether Turkish, Persian, English, &C. The
collector is instructed to act upon this sugges-
ton.

A Wearisonle Subject.

People who are completely absorbed
in their own own personality make the
grave error of supposing that the
subject of which they never tire is
equally interesting to others; hence, if
they "enjoy poor health" it is their
habit to give effusive descriptions of
numerous aches and pains to whom
soever they meet. Now, illness, Of all
things in the world, is the least inter
esting, and even in ones own family
soon becomes tiresome. Sympathy
called upon too often becomes to GER
tain degree lessened. We can each re-
call too many people who make bodily
ills the stock subject for conversation
in and out of season, and feeling Of
depression inevitably follows their
minute recital. We ought not to ig-
more real illness and expect it to leave
or pass by us because of our non
recognition, but we need not draw the
shadow of disease about our family
gatherings and gala days by describ-
ing every little pain that has
wearied us.

That you repeat the confession of
our heroine"
BE it So" murmured Viola. "Imade
her my ideal and must share in her de-
feat. But tell me, Gean, how came
this story to so reflect my character,
feelings, thoughts, in fact?'
1T will not affect our wager?"
No; that is decided. Viola's fate
shall be mine.'

that you are wrong?"
The vivacious girl fairly snapped out
this question, all the more unanswer-
able because bristling with true fem
mime logic.
Gean felt the force of it, and bowed
in acknowledgment of the same.
Then you admit it?" she asked,
slightly Modified by his polite action.

"Thank you"
"But at the same time I think cir
cumstances might arise which would

A Balloon Suggestion.

Suggestions for features of interest
for the great fair are in order. Many
people seem to think tall tower in
dispensable, simply because Paris has
one. That is nonsense. Such tower
here would be a mere plagiarism, I'M
worthy the inventive genius of the
Yankee nation. The purpose of the
tower, at best, is to furnish vantage
ground from which to view the magnif-
icent scenery surrounding it. We have,
unquestionably, right here, infinitely
more enhancing views than Paris can
boast, and if we can make them avail
able, without subjecting ourselves to
the imputation of initiating the ideas of
others, it would be grand scheme.
My suggestion is that we construct
mammoth balloon-one Of unprece-
denied size and lifting power. In place
Of car let a platform, say twenty feet
square, be suspended under this bal
loon, and the whole elevated say two
thousand feet, to be held stationary at
that point by guys of wire rope diverg-
ing from the four corners of the plat
form to suitable anchorages at wide
distances apart on the ground. This
arrangement would not merely hold
the balloon captive, but steady in po-
sition. I would have tube run from
gas reservoir on the ground up to the
balloon to keep it constantly filled, so
that its sustaining power may not be
lost. Then have one or two additional
balloons of ordinary size, fitted with
the usual car. and guided by taut
rope, to ply as conveyances for pas
sengers to and from the stationary bal
loon in mid-air. This would be a novel
and attractive arrangement. It would
not merely eclipse the Eiffel tower in
elevation, but the curiosity of mankind
in general to test aerial navigation
would insure measure Of patronage
that would yield handsome return on
the investment Metropolis.

There is heavy loss from breakage.
When the gas develops champagne
cellar sounds like q battle. The bot
ties explode with tremendous force,
and are dangerous. Over 20 per
cent. Of the bottles break. That is one
reason why champagne is so high
priced. Bottled cider will champaign
ize if raisins are put in it. Some years
ago I put up barrel of cider for the
White House. The steward insisted
on putting whole raisin in each bot

own way. The result was that he
didn't have bottle. Every bottle
