London. Oct. 22.-Social- life in London
is not very exciting at the present mo-
ment Nearly everybody of note is
away visiting or entertaining at coun-
try houses. The Prince of Wales came
to London during the week, and an
nounced that he intended to visit New
market next week, for the racing. But
apparently he received a hint that he

er-in-laW Queen Louise of Denmark,
I so a statement was sent to the papers
/ denying that the prince was going to
| Newmarket.
| A report from the United States to
the effect that President Mckinley
would invite the Prince of Wales TO
visit the United States has attracted
attention While the papers cordially
endorse the suggestion of a royal visit
to America. as tending to further ce-
ment the good feeling between the two
countries, ii is thought improbable that

evening newspaper points out that the
Duke Of York has given half prom

| adds that there is nothing impossible
! in the idea that if President Mckinley
follows the example of President Bu-
| chanan the Duke of York will follow
in the footsteps of his father and eX-
tend his visit to the United States.
The banquet which the city of Lon
| don is to give to General Lord Kitche-
ner of Khartoum on Nov. will be The
most brilliant affair of its kind in this
generation. The Marquis of Salisbury,
several cabinet ministers, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal leader
in the house of commons, all the field
marshals, and all the civic dignitaries
will be present. The premier will speak
in honor of the Sirdar, and momentous
declarations may be expected.
TERRIBLE EFFECTS OF WAR.
That the effects of war are more ter
rible than the actual fighting is shown
in the case of the Grenadier guards, who
recently returned from the Soudan. AL
most . third of their number are on
the sick list. Change of climate was
partly instrumental in bringing about
their illness; but a majority OF the men
are down with dySentery, caused by
drinking the water. There are 200 OF
the guards in the hospital, and several
of the cases are serious. The officers of
the guard in nowise escaped. Quite a
number of them succumbed to enteric
disorders on their return to Cairo or
London.
The followers of Tod Sloane received
a severe check at Sandown, where, on
Thursday, with Sloane riding the favor
lite in five races, he only succeeded in
getting a dead heat in one. The check
has come none too soon for Sloane.
whose head has been completely turned
by success The American jockey is
extremely dissatisfied with one or two
of the decisions against him, and on
Thursday, after racing, he said, excit-
eddy: Il have had enough, and after
riding the Prince of Wales horse in
the Cambridgeshire, 1 shall clear out
of the country"
Considerable amusement has been
caused by the answer which Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, the secretary of state for
the colonies, made to the reporters re-
quest for interviews at Liverpool, on
his return from the United States. Mr..
Chamberlain declined TO talk. saying:
Not on this side: ! grant interviews
only on the other side"
THE SULTAN RENOvATING.
The zeal of the sultan of Turkey to
renovate every town and village in
Palestine through which Emperor Will
liam of Germany passes has resulted
in even holy places being vandalized.
The historical house of Simon the Tan
ner, where St. Peter lived, has been
painted bright blue and its floors have
been laid with colored tiles. Besides
this, the building has been enclosed by
a gaudy fence, while a superb iron
screen. over a dome of rock, dating
back to the days of the crusaders, has
been coated with yellow paint.
There is much speculation in polit-
ical circles at Vienna, according to ad-
vices just received from there, as to
whether Emperor Francis Joseph will
marry again. The possibility of OBJ
tanning a son to preserve the line Of
direct succession, it is thought, may
induce him to overcome his own per-
sonal inclinations. The present heir
apparent, Archduke Francis Ferdinand
son of the late Archduke Charles Louis
second son of the present emperor. is
not a strong mfn, and it is feared he
will not succeed in governing the I'M
ruly Austrian empire, and the mar
riage of Emperor Francis Joseph with
a certain youthful princess is already
mOoted.

BRUTAL VICAR PUNISHED.
The town of Shrewsbury and vicinity
has been greatly excited over the trial
of the vicar of Ruyton and his wife
for cruelty TO two orphan nieces who
had been left in their charge. The
children had been reduced 20 the posi-
ton of drudges, their clothing was
ragged and they were fed from a pig
tub. The elder child, it was alleged.
was stripped and beaten by the wears
wife and was then kicked by the vicar.
Both of the accused were sentenced to
four months imprisonment at hard Ia
Dor Dense crowds surrounded the
court house during the progress of the
trial and threats were openly made of
lynching the prisoners.
