London, Oct. 5.-The officials of the
British foreign Office have communicated
TO the United States ambassador Colonel
John Hay. the final decision of THAT gov
eminent, that Great Britain must refuse
to take part in any sealing conference
with representatives OF Russia and Japan.
The British government, however, asserts
its willingness to confer with the United
States alone, but it insists that Russia
and Japan are not interested in the Ber-
ing sea seals 10 a degree emitting them to
representation at the conference. The
British government does not suggest any
date for q conference with the United
States, and it is thought probable in Lon
don that Great Britain's withdrawal will
result in two meetings, one between the
United States and Great Britain, and
United States. Russia and Japan, and the
other between the United States, Great
Britain and Canada.

CANApA ORIECTS-

It cannot be too strongly reiterated that
the withdrawal of Great Britain from the
Washington conference is due to Canada 5
insistence, and that until the Canadian
officials informed the foreign Office here
of Canada objections TO meeting Russia
and Japan, out of fear of being outVoted,
Great Britain fully intended to enter the
Great Britain fully intended to attend
the conference with the other govern
ments. But for Colonel Hays reDresen-
tations, 1Ae first announcement OF Great
Britain's unwillingness to take part in the
conference would nave been final, but the
United States ambassador so plainly
pointed out the unusual character OF
Great Britain's change of mind at 50
late day that some foreign Office officials
decided to reopen the question and have
been endeavorinS, but unsuccessfully, TO
secure Canada's aequieseenee. Sir Julian
PauncefOte, the British ambassador to the
United States. also used his influence in a
spirit of friendlinesS to the United States,
IN efforts to secure adherence of Great
Britain TO the original programme.
The diplomats here consider that Great
Britain's course was not courteous to
Russia and JaDan.
Experts who have been investigating
sales of sealskinS in London in order 10

States at the conference, have proof that
50 per cent of the skins sold by the Ca

Greek proper names have been tho
source of considerable study to tho read
ing public of the United States since
the Greek troubles began and the pro-
nunciation of the names of some of the
officials who are prominent i'll Athens
at the present time has been the subject
Of controversy.
a MIN who is we'll versed on the sub
ject said that the modern Greek pecul-
iarity was 10 Il great extent the accen-
tuation and gave as an instance the name
of Mauromichales, the Greek secretary
of the interior The name is pronounced
Nov -ro-michalis, with strong accent OH
the second syllable. The secretary Of
foreign affairs, Alexander Skouzes, pro-
nounces his name Sko-u-Zes, with strong
accent on tho gu. - The name of Philip
Varyogles, minister of justice, is pro-
nounced Var-vo-chlees, the "ch" in the
third syllable being hard like tho Ger
man "ch.'' Nicholas MetaXas, minister
of war, has an easy name for foreigners,
but the minister of marine, Leyides,
pronounces his name Levee-thes. The
president of the chamber of deputies
writes his name Zaimcs and pronounces
it Za-i-mis, with accent on the second
syllable. Canaris, the fleet commanders
name, is pronounced Can-arees, with
accent on the first syllable. The name
of Delyannis appears in print every day,
and most readers have ideas as to its
pronunciation. His Greek ncighbors
call the premier Delee-yanees, with ac-
cent on the second syllable.
Like the Russians, the Greeks have
no family names, except in the higher
walks of society, and man whose
name is Gregorious will call his son
Gregoriades, pronouncing the "d'' much
like 9Th" in though. The son of De-
metrius is called Demctlriades
One Of the most common names in
Greece is Pappadopoulos, which may
be assumed by any man whose father
was priest, and man, instead of tax
ing the name Antoniades, may call him
self by the longer name If Father An
tonia was priest The sd" in Anto-
niades, Pappadopculos and i'll all names
where it comes before Il vowel is pro-
nounced like 9Th" in though.-New

Stories OF Coming Disaster.
Mime. &c Thebcs, the well known
palmist, took part i'll curious adven-
ture during her recent visit to Rome,
whittier she had been summoned by a
mysterious parsonage Of high rank. who
desired to consult her i'll regard to the
future.
The story goes that soon after her ar
rival ut Rome she entered carriage
and drove to the address of this mys-
FERROUS parsonage The carriage drew
up i'll front Of II very modest house, and
the palmist alighted aud entered. Pres
emily she found herself in the presence
of Il lady whose face was concealed by
II mask aud whose hair was covered by
Il mantilla.
The lady held ont her hand, and
Nine. de Thebes told her what she read
in it. The lady betrayed no emotion,
but she asked the palmist never to di-
vulge what she had seen. The palmist
gave the required promise, whereupon
the lady said: Madame, your reputa-
ton is not unmcrited. My somber PFC
sentiments have simply been confirmed
by all thut you have told me-. 4" Nine.
do Thebes then left the house, being
still ignorant as TO the name and rank
of the parsonage who had consulted her.
Being questioned on the subject later,
she said: Il fancy that I know who the
lady is, for read in her hand that she
is destined to take part in many grave
public events. But my promise to her
binds me, and I cannot say a word
about what passed between us. "
Then she made most remarkable
statement.
~ examined one evening"" she said,
1.-THE hands of some of the most distin
guished persons in Rome, and on the
following day examined several more
hands belonging TO all classes of socie-
ty. Well, in all these Italian hands I
saw premonitions of battle, of ruin, of
bloodshed, and the impression irresisti-
bly, took hold of me that Rome is Oh

A Family So Large That Not All of Them

A Family So Large That Not All of Them
Are Acquainted With One Another.
Dave Vititoe, lG years old, malari-
al patient at the City hospital, is bless
ed far beyond the average mortal III the
ties of blood He is much befamllled.
In fact, though Dave is acquainted with
most of his brothers and sisters, there
are two or three to whom he has never
received an introduction. When 1t IS
known that the children of his father,
wealthy farmer and horse trainer III
Breckenridge county, KY, numbered at
last reports 80, this circumstance will
not seem remarkable.
The elder yititoe has been three times
married His Oldest son is Al years OF
age. That is also the age Of his present
wife, the mother of Dave, by whom he
has had % children. There are 13 chill
dren younger than Dave. Dawes private
opinion is that the total numbe OF chill
dren is 40, as he has not heard from
home for some time.
Of this immense family, 81 children,
according to Dawes best recollection,
are now alive Just how many are boys
and how many girls he is not able to
say, but he is convinced that the boys
orInumber the girls considerably. AL
the boys except the very little chaps are
earning their own living, though Dave
says the old man is in a position to sup
port them all should it become neces-
sary. Most of them are jockeys or horse
trainers, having inherited the fathers
love of horsehesh and having, as Dave
says, grown up with the colts i'll the
stable. " Three of them, Dave, Joe and
Hunter, are connected with the St.
Louis Fair association.
One remarkable feature Of this i'm
mense family is that there has never
been duplicate birth. There are no
twins, triplets or other combinations.
Dave is q dark skinned, curly headed,
handsome boy, light of frame, as is nee
essary for a jockey, and yet seemingly
fairly rugged. He came to the hospital
three days ago suffering from chills
All the boys statements regarding
the remarkable size Of his family arc
fully substantiated by S. NJ. Ross, ar
other patient, cigar maker, whose adj
dress is 1901 Washington avenue, but
whose home is in Louisville. He knows
the father and many of the sons of this
remarkable family and knows the total
number of children to 10 80, as repre-
sented. He and Dave occasionally en-
gage in discussions as to the name Of
some member Of the Vititoe family Of
whom they may have occasion to speak.
Dave says he has met all lis brothers
and sisters save three, who live III

Age and Climate.

During 1896 the death Of 1873 persons
over 90 years of agc--1i of them being
over 1O0-was recorded i'll Great Britain
and Ireland. 1t is somewhat curious
circumstance that the average longevity
is greater III Scotland than it is i'll Eng
land and greater i'll Ireland than III
Scotland, the birth rate being largest i'll
England and least i'll Ireland. Of a
thousand persons, men, women and chill
dren, resident i'll England the acreage
number over GO years of age Is ~ or
somewhat moro than per cent. III
Scotland the proportion over GO years OF
age Is ~ per cent, and Ill Ireland 1t IS
10. 5 per cent.
Ireland stands second to France as
regards the longevity OF its inhabitants,
tho proportion of men and women in
France over GO years old being by the
last census 1877 per cent, or l27 of each
1000 of population. The official figures
of the census report show that lOngev-
ity is, to considerable extent, regu-
lated by climate-that is, i'll countries
within tho temperate zone, the duration
of life is greater than i'll warmer or
semitropicnl countries The average
number of persons over 60 years old in
1000 inhabitants i'll the United King
dom is II, and in the German empire,
the climate of which is similar, it is the
same In Holland it is also ~; i'll Den
mark, 81; i'll Sweden, SIS, and in Nor
way, 90. In Russia tho longevity of the
inhabitants is greatest i'll the northern
provinces and lowest in the southern
ones. The average of European countries
in the north temperate zones, England,
Germany and Holland-77 III 1000
falls to Z III Austria and i'll Portugal. In
Spain, where the climate is generally
milder than in Portugal, the number of
persons over 60 years of age in 1000 is
5S only, and in Greece il is 5G. IN tho
East Indies, as far as there are any au-
thentic figures, the average is only 40 in
1000 inhabitants. In South America
the average is about so, though there
are, of course, many exceptional cases.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says:
james NJ Smith of Oglcthorpe, Geor

all records CT cotton sales from single
plantation by selling to Macon cotton
buyers in one let over 1000 bales of
cotton of his own raising. The cotton
was sold OH basis of cents for nid-
ding, and when it is all weighed and
shipped Mr. Smith will receive a check
for about $40, 600. This would be a tire.
mendous crop, even if Mr.. Smith raised
nothing but cotton, but when it is re-
mcmbe7d that he grows similarly large
crops Of grain and hay, and that cotton
is his surplus money crop after produc-
ing all the provision crops he needs,
then one can grasp some idea of the
scale on which Colonel Smith farms aud
sec the justice of calling him Georgia's
cotton king"

A COSTLY PORTRAIT.
Ths Price Made Him Gasp. but Ho Paid
and Said Nothing.

and Said Nothing.
Some years ago, when Benjamin Con-
slant came over to this country especial
ly to paint the portrait of we'll known
New York woman, several other persons
took advantage of his being here and
gave him orders for their portraits.
Among these was well known man.
Shortly after this latter likeness was
completed a wealthy westerner who
happened to be in this city was enter
tanned at the house of the New Yorker.
The westerner saw the portrait and
much admired it. my wife wants me
to get my portrait painted, be said.
"That's one reason why I'm in New
York. wonder if this French fellow
wouldn't do mine too" His host assur-
ed him that in all probability the
French fellow" would be only too de-
lighted Before long the westerner was
experiencing all the glory and honor OF
''sitting for his portrait. -
One day some time after this, but be-
fore the picture was finished, the west
erner was again entertained by his New
York friend. The portrait was naturally
referred to. "By the way, remarked
the westerner, chow much did he charge
for your picture?'' "Forty-fve hundred
dollars" was the answer. why" But
the westerner was beyond speech. Pale
and breathlcss, he leaned back in his
chair, and when he did speak it was
simply to gasp forth, "Forty-fve hun
dred dollarsp' "Forty-fve hundred dol
larsl" over and over again.
1t transpircd later that he had made
no inquiries as TO terms. and that he
had never dreamed that the portrait 8
price would lie more than $3.50. What
worried him most was what his wife
would say. But the old fellow was
game. He first bound the New Yorker
over to temporary secrecy, after which
he preceded to go through those sit
tings to the bitter end without muir
mur or a question as to the ultimate
cost. Benjamin Constant never knew
that the bill for So, 900 (the westerner's
portrait was larger than the New York
er's) that vas presented later caused
the slightest ripple upon the emotional
surface CT lis patron. But in certain
