ANNE BOLEYN'S GHOST
SHADE or THE UNFORTUNATE
QUEEN SEEN IN LONDON TOWER.
It's Temperance said to Portend the
Death of Member of the Royal
FamiIy-An Unhappy Duchess.


LONDON, Sept 1S-The Prince and
Princess of Wales have announced their in
tention Of paying several visits to London
in order to encourage the winter season, the
tradesmen of the metropolis having sue
ceeded in conveying respectful hints to his
Royal Highness that otherwise the season
was certain of failure. which would be fol-
lowed by a consequent depression in trade
owing to the social reaction which set in
after the celebration of the Queens dia-
mond jubilee.
In spite Of official frowns and attempts to
suppress the chatter 1t has leaked out that
the detachment OF foot guards quartered at
the Tower of London swear the sentries on
night duty have seen the ghost Of Anne
Boleyn the unfortunate wife of the much
married King Henry VIII, whom he caused
to be beheaded on May 49, 1886. The ghost
of Queen Anne Boleyn is only supposed to
appear on the eve of the death of a member
of the royal family. and therefore the mat
ter has been made the occasion for consid-
cradle gossip. -
The Marquis De Luville, it is announced,
has gone to Paris with the object of chal-

The relations between the Duke and
Duchess of Aosta, the former being the old
est nephew of the King of Italy and the
latter being Princess Helena of Orange.
daughter of the late Count of Paris, are
once more reported TO be strained and 1t is
further stated that their separation IS only
a question of a short time. Although they
were only married about two years ago-in
June lSS5--the Figaro announced In June,
1886, that the marriage had turned out to be
very unhappy for both parties and that a
Judicial separation was only prevented by
the intervention of the Duke of Aumale.
The duchess, Figaro added, refused to be
recOnciled to her husband and kept separate
apartments. IN December of the same year
there was held family council of the MEM
bers Ct the houses OF Savoy and Orleans, at
the end OF which it was announced that the
Duke and Duchess of Aosta had been in
duced to abandon their intention of an inn
mediate separation. But when the duchess
was here last week she declared she would
never live in Italy again. The mother of
the Countess Of Paris has done all she can
to soothe the ruftied feelings OF the duchess,
but all her efforts to make her change her
mind seem TO have been unavailing, and it
is generally admitted that her separation
from the duke is again looked on as being
almost inevitable.
A curious suggestion has been made with
The object of emphasizing the union of the
British empire, and it is meeting with con-
siderable favor. The idea is that in place
OF such distinctive names, Canada, Aus
tralia, etc, the designation of the British
empire should be applied TO all the coun-
tries under British rule. Under this plan
Great Britain proper will be known as the
British unprecedented. Canada would be
known as British Emplre-NortnWest, etc.
