less than a statement that the family con
templates a sojourn abroad which will
ultimately rank it with the Astors as an
absentee house. One reason for the didi-
Guilty connected with attempts to estab-
lish the accuracy of this is the odd way
the Goulds have of denying everything
reported about them, and then within
twenty-four hours showing that the re-
port was true.
1t is underst God that the Journey abroad
will not extend much beyond England,
and it is to have for its chief object che
establishment of the family in the land
of the Prince of Wales as social power
There will be a house in London, q villa
on the Thames. q grouse season IN ScUf-
land and the other adiuucts OF American
life in Europe when that life IS led
by person who has the prestige at
taChed to the possession OF an American
fortune in view of the enormous III
crease in the Gould revenues, il is likely
that the family will be able to run the
Astors pretty hard in a race for British
recognition, especially Us those Insular
social arbiters deem one American as
good as another and consider money the
final basis OF all judgments upon them,
Ai1s Edith Kingdom Gould appears 10
be the person most responsible for this

A WICKED LITERARY MAN,
It was Christie Murray, the popular
English novelist, who first declared that
when you are wicked the only place to
live in is New York. The writer is now
about to act on his own principle, for he
is coming to the metropolis of the new
world, as a cOnseq uence of some exposures
concerning his private life, which reveal
him in light alleged TO make our own
Breckinridge seem snow white LAMP.
The case has been carefully suppressed,
but in spite Of that, he has not succeeded
in keeping al the facts from his friends,
and ne hnts his social position l-tIle
weak. The story is made up OF the
usual features of u deceived WIFE
q misled girl and no end
of Geluded relatives. who, from delUded,
are changed to indignant. The beauty Of
MIR MuTrays new move IS that he is to
bring to New York letters of introduction
from the literary lights Of London and
Paris, will be enthusiastically greeted by
several stars of the Authors Club in New
York. and from all indications win find
himself lion. These preparations have
been carried so far that one gifted Gu-

In the other clubs of New York all the
men are wishing they were celebrated

An ECCLESIASTICAL POTENTATE.
The departure Of the leading Episcopal
clergyman of the east for London TO at
tend an Anglican conference there has
or rather will have, for a sequence some
thing calculated to arouse the interest 1of
high churchmen in the United States 10

Canterbury to this country, visit which
has long been urged upon him, but which
he appears to think impossible not only
for the well known ecclesiastical reasons,
but owing TO his age. 1t seems now that
such objections either have been removed

coming here at all is an honor for the
church in America. How long he will
stay no one appears TO know. but II is
likely that he will not 60 further west

TO DIsMANTLE A MENAGERIE.
The menagerie in Central Park, that
historic pleasure ground of New Workers.
is the cause Of a difficulty at present
which seems likely TO affect all cities in
time. 1t is declared that the keeping OF
animals in captivity after the fashion OF
the Central Park plan is gross cruelty, to
call il by its mildest term, and that no
pleasure or profit is derived by any visitor
from the spectacle Already quite an
agitation has been begun looking to an
abolition of the practice entirely In
London such an agitation has assumed
formidable proportions.
1t is certainly true that few persons ear
visit these places without deriving pain
1ul impression of the effects of captivity
upon many of the animals. which, in some
cases, spend years in running up and
Down a narrow cell, and at last pine awaN
and die. The larger animals are either
drugged into insensibihty or become UNI
manageable and are tortured to death
The snakes are especially i'll treuted ,siucC
very few menagerie keepers know how to
deal with them. On the other hand, it is
represented as doubtful if the knowle6g,
derived from visit to menageries is q,
valuable as represen ed. The solution O
the problem appears 70 be more science il
the keeping of New York's menagerie.
TO BUY PYRAMID "
That money can be obtained in New
York for almost anything is once more
shown in the enthusiasm manifested
over the project to grace the city's street
with pyramid. Importing Oriental anC
EgyptolOgical wonders in sculpture has
not been fayOrably looked up by the PEG
pie Of New York, in view of the e.-uc
rience acquired as a result of the bring
ing over OF CleOpatra's needle. However
the pyramid people expect 70 do wonders
in their way and their efforts may bl
successful III
The park authorities announce that
they Will consider the adEisabilitV Of put
ting up q pyramid in the park only When
there is some particular pyramid to dea
with, which, in this case. is not forth
coming. The idea is tomake the structure
a free museum Of antiquarian subjects
and even If it be impossible to get thema
