1ene Reported for Three Months in the Vicinity y
where the veendnm went Down.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-No derelict has been
reported in the lane OF steamers bound to and
from New York and European ports since early
last autumn. This is deemed remarkable by the
officials Of the photographic Office, considering
the severe gales Of the last few weeks and the
heavy weather which prevailed in December,
when schooners are generally abandoned in largo
numbers and frequently find their way into the
Gulf Stream, until they bring up directly in the

TROUBLE OYER ASSESSMENTS.
New Rochelle Village Residents stlIl Dissat-

New ROCHELLE, Feb. 14.-The revised village
assessment roll for 1897 was opened for public
inspection this morning. Some OF the assess

courts. The total amount OF the roll. real and
personal, is Sl3.46O.OO0 This is $1,000, 900
more than the current town assessment roll.

many more residents in the town:than.in the viii

reductions requested by the Iselns and other

the courts for writs OF certiorari to review the

New HAVEN. Conn.,. Feb. 1.-THE National
Phi Beta Kappa Council has just sent out to
all the chapters Of the fraternity two rcsolu.

lain. This has surprised the world,
but not her friends, who knew that
she was all along deeply attached to
her religion and SECRECY miserable
under the ban which her connection
with Nicolini brought upon her. Her
Greek marriage to him was, of course,
regarded by the church as no mar
rage at all, and therefore stood in
the way of her being admitted to the
religious observances necessary for in
clusion "within the pale. But of late
years her relations with him were
purely piatonic; and when she was
in London or on the continent, her
greatest consolation was to go quietly
to some church and hide herself in the
crowd of worshippers. Undoubtedly
she was wretched during her most
brilliant years on account of her sew
erance from her faith. On one occa-
sion, a young woman, a Catholic, of
course, wrote her an earnest letter,
urging an admiration amounting to
affection as an excuse for the liberty,
pointing out that no worldly success
could satisfy the soul. 81 can see by
your face that you are not happy"
she said; and went on to promise Pat
t. her own lifelong prayers. In con-
clusion. she asked the diva, instead e
answering the letter, to send her pho
tograph as a sign that she was not
offended, and, ''as a proof that you,
too, long for the day wfen true peace
can be yours" Apparently Patti de-
tected the sincerity of the unconven-
tional appeal, for she sent magnifi-
cent panel photographers that was
never seen in public-and signed it
"Adelina Patti-Nicolini," UNDERLYING
the last name as though to intimate
that there lay the obstacle TO the hope
which she shared with her unknown
friend. If the woman-She can be no
longer young-who made that VOW of
intercession be still living, she is prob
ably happy in the fulfii,ment of her
desire. The story-for the truth of
which / can vouch-is one to make us
worldly folk pause and wonder.

of Wales go to America. With your
usual astuteness, YOU will have observ-
ed that there are certain American
papers which live up to the motto,
s'When in doubt play the Prince OF
Wales" and which trouble themselves
no whit about the accuracy of their
so-called news" 1t is true, however,
that H. r. II. has remarked, on sew
eral recent occasions, that he would
..iump at the chance of going; he
said so particularly to one charming
lady, adding at the same time THAT
..there was no chance existing, worse
luck!" Your contemporaries did not
derive their rumors from this fact, l
will wager, since they had no possible
opportunity of becoming cognizant OF
it! The good gentlmen is very cheer

calls his daughters in .sevoted at
tendance. She is less reserved with
him than anyone. Many people were
surprised at her ready consent to stay
behind with him instead OF going
20 Denmark with her mother, espe-
cially as she thus misses the chance
of seeing Princess Maud, her married
sister; but the fact is that there us a
small mystery surrounding that hit
tie lady. She remains in Copenhagen
possibly for reason of nealth-
whereas her mother and the rest of
the Danish Royal family are at Bern
storff; moreover, the Princess OF
Wales hardly sees anything OF her.
Either there has been some little
tiff" between her and her own peo-
pie or-which is more likely-she has
at last found it polite to ayiod ex-
citing the jealousy of her new rela-
tions, which was powerfully excited
when she made the abortive attempt
to wean Prince Charles from has aa-
legiance to his own country. The
Prince of Wales promptly threw her
over" then; and l fancy the high
spirited girl has never forgiven this.
The Princes knee is not going on
ms well as the doctors would like.
mean that its progress is very slow.
When the president of the college OF
surgeons was first called in, the
Prince. in his CHEEKY way, said, 1T
might have been worse, You know; 1
might have broken my leg!" Sir w.
McCormac gruffly said: Wish you
had." He saw the possibilities OF
the future.
The Duke of Marlborough has had
trouble again with his throat, and has
gone to Mount Dore under advice.
The Duke of Westminster has caus-
ed a good deal of amusement by let
ter to the papers. IN. A. P.".that
very enterprising If somewhat daring
personal sheet-had paragraph
about him lately. The Duke writes to
contradict the statement that he was
uamed Jack Shepherd at school "be-
cause he was so plain" (he says il
was becuse his hair was so short); he
also denies that his income is e4O0,-
OOO-it is not half as much. Further,
he begs to say that the rents of his
London houses do not fall in exactly
one shilling per house! 1 sympathize
with His Grace; but really he might
have let the Jack Sheppard incident
alone. What can it matter to a man
of sixty-one if he did get called
''plain" at school?
