New YORK, May 17.-American women
are going to make a brave show in London
society this season. We can point tri-
umphantly to bevy Of American beauties
who are also English duchesses, countesses,
harnesses and ladies by title. The Duchess
of Manchester may be trusted to do her
best to 60 her grace of Marlborough at
least one better. Blenheim, the famous
seat of the Marlborough, was built by the
nation for the great general in the the reign
of Queen Anne. But Kimbolton castle is a
much more ancient affair. It was of
respectable antiquity when Harry the
Eighth clapped his divorced Queen Rather
inc of Arragon into it and imprisoned her
there till she died. Our young Duchess of
and glories of the grand, though someN hat
rusty-looking, old place.
The American aristocracy are very well
In their superfine way, but the British shop
keeper thinks more OF the American tour
list. Year by year the stream grows larger,
until this summer it il probable that not
fewer than 5000 American men and
women viii spend at least part of their
summer holiday in the British isles. OF
course this means good business to the shop
keeper, but there is a more significant
view TO be taken Of it. Under the sur
face there is a rapidly growing fusion of
sentiment and sympathy between the two
peoples. We are ali getting to know each
other better and understand each others
pecuAarities. We are comparing notes
upon everything that concerns our common
interests, trade and commerce, political af-
fairs, social ethics aud fashions 1t Will be
strange if ten years of this ever-increasing
intercourse does not bring forth fruits OF
mutual gain in useful knowledge and fra
ternity.
The late American banker, Junius Spen-
Ger Morgan, has left about $4,000, 900. He
was to all outward seeming an English
squire of the good old school. He loved
London, and enjoyed its life as ardently as
any born cockney, but it was his wish to be
buried in his native Connecticut, and he
has left $50 900 to the Hartford hospital TO
keep his grave in order. There are no lega-
cies to any public English charities. How
different TO the gift, during his lifetime,
of something like $3,000,000 by George
Peabody to the London poor. Sir
Curtis Lampson was another London
loving American who left well-honored
name behind him for many unassuming
good deeds. In the art world James Whist
Ter has made himself an altogether UNIQUE
sort Of fame. He is q superb artist when
he likes, but seems to be happier when he
can get himself aud friends into a row by
his welding of the pen than when he Is
handling his brush. The American
dentist is another hourishing speci-
men. His name promises soon to be
legion. Dentistry was for many years
looked down upon in English professional
circles. Any druggist was considered good
enough to pull tooth, and if he smashed
your jaw that was a chance for the doctor
TO exhibit his immense skill and bill. The
American dentist came over and took his
place easily among the ablest surgeons of
London and Paris. He brought with him
n mastery of his difficult art, a set
of clever American inventions, tools,
lathes, etc., that were quite unknown here
before, and his unfaiiing dexterity soon
won him fame and fortune OF late dental
surgery has been looking-up in England,
and now the younger generation of our
operators append their degrees to their
names. Still, there is plenty of room for
the ever welcome smart American dentist
and if he combines, as he generally does,
true gentlemanliness with his cleverness, he
will surely prosper.
There are two sides to everything. even
TO the glorification Stanley is receiving in
England. His very brief utterance let the
cat out of the bag. He is tongue-tied or
more truly, muzzled. This, of course, piuues
the public curiosity. Why should they bind
him TO silences What can there be to con-
ceall These are quite natural questions,
Gated facts and documents for the answer
Evenin his Forthcoming book, Stanley will
not be free to tell all he would
like to. Everybody knows that
there is vigorous. but vailed
conflict going on between GERMANY aud
England over Central Africa. Each power
is scheming ana pushing as eagerly as posi-

tribes, and good deal of force, of arms OF
threats, has to be employed to get them into
