There was considerable comment
among the New Workers who attend
ed the reception given on the Fourth
of July by Mrs. Bayard, wife of the
United States ambassador, upon the
fact that William Waldorf Astor.
who was among those present, has
aged greatly since the death of his
wife. Bret Harte created considera-
bic amusement at the reception by
displaying great anxiety that the
English butler should announce his
name correctly. The butler an
nounced "Bretharte," whereupon the
novelist called out Bret Harte" at
the top Of his voice three times, and
set everybody laughing.
a BRITISHER IN NICARAGUA.
Archibald Ross Colcuhoun, the well
known explorer, and first governor eff
Massonaland. has just returned from
several months mission to Nicara-
qua, where he inspected the Nicaragua
canal route and visited the Panama
canal. He says: From what / have
seen of Nicaragua, and in a lengthen-
ed visit to the United States, especial
~ the Southern states, l am more
than ever convinced of the import
ance to the United States of this pro-
ject, and feel sure that it is only under
the auspices of the United States
government thauthe enterprise can be
carried through as it should be- The
canal in my opinion will be universally
of greater Importance than the Suez
canal and will largely revolutionize
the shipping routes of the world. For
the United States the canal will not
only have the effect of developing the
trade of the Pacific slopes and
Southern states, but will more especi-
ally open up the magnificent lands of
the Mississippi, at present lost to the
commerce of the world"
Senator Richard F. Pettigrew, of
South Dakota. sails for home today
after three months tour of the con-
tinent. He has greatly improved in
health, and has gained in weight
Eau Gallie, formerly Utica, Mr.
Croker's horse, is no longer in the
stud. 1t was found necessary to per-
form an operation on him, as he had
become very savage and nearly killed
one OF the stable boys. Besides,
Simms could no longer ride him on ac-
count of his temper. Since the opera
ton he has been as meek as lamb,
and Simms takes delight now in going
into his box, a thing he die not dare
to do week ago. Jerome K. Jerome
does not seem inclined to apologize to
Richard Croker in regard to a state
ment made in Jerome's paper about
Simms. He published Mr.. Cookers
letter on the subject, which was the
same in wording as the one written to
Mr.. Henry Labouchere and published
in Truth; but he adds: ut does not
tally with my information, and it
would be to the advantage of the pub
lie that the affair should be carefully
inquired into"
FROSEBERY AND THE PRINCESS.
The runlor that Lord Rosebery is to
marry one of the Prince of Wales
daughters is revived this week, and
it is said he may relinquish politics
entirely. 1t is understood that the
queen would not offer any opposition
to the match. Lord Rosebery con-
tinues to be her great personal
favorite, as her bestowal upon him of
the late Duke of Hamilton's Order Of
the Thistle indicates. Lord Rosebery
already possesses the Order of the
Garter, and it is extremely rare for
anyone not of royal blood to hold both
orders, the only other instance on re-
cord being the cases of the Earl of
Aberdeen and the Duke of Argyll.
Commenting upon the possibility of
an international university athletic
contest, Lady Colin CampbeIrs Realm
says: The American universities
have nothing like the authority in
athletic matters that ours have
Things might easily go wrong. The
baser kind of sport hangs about the
American tracks, from classifying a re-
cord to poisoning a competitor"
Mr.. Lowenfeld has sold the Ameri-

Henry B. Irving, son of Sir Henry
Irving, while playing at Oxford lately

don and has made several important

Much attention has of late been at
tracted to the famous Cecil manu-
scripts, which Lord Salisbury has re-
Gently had placed on record. Two of
the documents have been much dis
cussed. The one contains a list of
ships that served against the Spanish
armada, and the second contains some
personal items which throw some new
light on the character of Philip II, of
Spain.
