JUBILEE AFTERMATH
Some Heartburnings Follow the Wake
of Englands Great Event.
POLITICIANS AND TRADESMEN sore
Liberals Say They Were Ignored;
Latter Could Not Sell Goods.
OSSIP OF THE STAG E

| LONDON, June 26.-After the jubilee fes-
| tivities there has been delIge Of grum-
| bles. begun by the SPECTATORS, who. al
| most without exception, have lost money
! owing to their foolishness in demanding
| fortunes for seats. Then. the caterers did
! not find the crowd as hungry and thirsty
| as they considered the people ought TO
| have been; the tradesmen found that the
| jubilee visitors could not buy to any great
| extent, as it took almost all their savings
| to the show, and there has been con-
siderable grumbling on the subject of the
| jubilee honors The men whose names
have been left out Of the list are notably
| liberal politicians and former ministers,
who declare that the honors were given on
the strictest party lines With the excep-
ton of Sir William Vernon Harcourt, no
former liberal minister was invited to be
| present at the ceremony before St. Pa,il's
| Cathedral, and the members of the house
| of commons, who all rived too late at Buck
| ingham palace to be in the audience. de-
| clare the queen should have waited for
them. The charitable societies women
| think that the Princess of Wales dinner
| to the poor was a kindly thought: but, they
| claim it was a mistaken idea and that the
| money had better been given to the Soci-
cites dealing habitually with this work.
| An Under takers Forethought.
An undertaken got ready thousand cof-
fins, and nc one Eeeded them. The tenn
| perance people are wildly raving at beer
| being given to the outcast poor, and there
| are thousands of complaints, based upon
| Jealousy, that everybody could not get
front seat at favored place and al
| everything. All this accords with the faded
| glory of the dsnantled line of route. The
only apparently happy jubileers are the
carpenters, who have made, for them,
| small fortunes at wages Of three shillings
| an hour.
The queen has already resolved a small
| museum OF costly presents and many more
| are on their way to her majesty. What
! ever form they take, most of these gifts
| are studded with gems. The present of
the Prince and Princess Of Wales and
their children is large diamond brooch

! Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and
| Gotha, the Duke and Duchess of Con-
| Eaught, Prince and Princess Christian of

long chain of diamond links. also jubilee

| Vanity Fairs cartoon for the current
week is Colonel John Hay, the United
| States ambassador, who thus joins the
gallery of the most famous men of the
day. After fattering notice of Colonel
| Hay as journalist, poet, author, soldier
and diplomat, Vanity Fair concludes:
He has a wife and charming daughter
who have Immediately taken places in
London society. Altogether. he is quite a
cultured American who can talk exceeding
ly well. He is a kindly, rather serious po-
lite, good natured gentleman, who speaks
with slight accent when warmed to the
subject.
