CABBIES ON STRIKE.
London is greatly incommoded by the
cab strike. The drivers have started a sys-
TEN of boycotting the railroad stations,
which has produced scenes OF confusion and
exasperatlon at the different depots. where
huge piles of baggage are set down by the
roadway and crowds of indignant male and
ing rugs. packages, etc, are fretting and
fuming while pushing about in a more or
less helpless condition engaging messengers,
porters or anybody at hand to help them out
of their difficulties. In fact, the muddle
and the trouble are so great that the off,
cials of the railroads have been compelled
to apply for extra police protection.

The so-called smart set" is taking con-
siderable interest in the suit for divorce
brought by Countess Cowley against the
earl. her husband, on the ground of de-
sertion and adultery. The correspondent in
the case is a Mrs. Charington. The affair
recalls that the earl, while Viscount Dan
gan, was forced to heavily compensate
Phyllis Broughton, the well known actress,
for breach of promise. The Dowager
Countess Cowley, in August, a year ago,
was sued by Mrs. Jacoby, sister-in-law of
James A. Jacoby, NJ. p, for slander in
charging the plaintiff with writing anony-
nous and defamatory letters, affecting the
character of numerous persons in high
society. The case was finally settled by
both parties swearing they did not write
the letters and did not know who did write
them. The divorce case has been post
poned until next session.

premises had been sold to the Royal Yacht
squadron and that they would hereafter
have the historic club house in ST. James
street for their town house. Color was
given TO the report from the fact that the
annual meeting of the squadron is always
held at the Boobies and that many OF It's
members are also members of the Royal
Yacht squadron The last report is that the
Royal Thames club had secured the

a proprietary club or whether the mem
bers shall buy II and run 1t themselves.
