Quackery-Curzons Of For India.

London, Nov. 1.-THE social gaieties
of the week conferred in two big par
ties, the Duke Of Portland's at Welbeck
Abbey and the Duke Of Newcastles at
his mansion in Clumber park. Two
splendid balls were given, the house
parties Of Welbeclz Abbey and CIumber
exchanging visits. The Duke of Port
lands guests included the Duke and
Duchess OF Connaught, Lord and Lady
Curzon of Kendleston, MIR. a. j. Bal
four and Lady Randolph Churchill,
while Mr.. Henry White, the United
States charge & affaires, ran down for
Wednesdays bali at Clumber, return
ing To town in time to attend the re-
QUEEN mass fer the repoSe of the soul
OF Lady Cromer on Friday, which was
a very impressive function.
The Prince Of Wales has been giving
a mems house party at Sandringham
and his birthday, on Nov. 9, was cele-
brated very quietly, owing to the re-
cent death of the Queen OF Denmark.
The usual dinner to the people, en-
plOyed on his estate was omitted but
each family was given quantity OF
provisions instead.
The prince is NOW well enough to take
part in the shooting which is about to
commence at Sandringham. Re only
occasionally needs the aid of stick
In walking and intends to pass the
winter quietly, going abroad after
Christmas and remaining on the CONT
nent until Easter.
The queen has moved the court from
Nrv.. e-A,o
reside for about five weeks, thence So
ing to Osborne, Isle of Wight.
1t appears that her majesty recently
expressed her views on the marriage
of members of the English aristocracy
With American girls. She confessed
that she at first viewed these marriages
with sore anxiety; but added that her
fears have since been completely al
layed and the queen now thinks that
American girls, from the breadth of
their education, independence and rapid
changing life are better able to adapt
themselves to a new environment than
the more stole English girls. The
queen also thinks it unfair to insinu-
ate that mercenary motives are the
frequent cause of the marriages Of I'M
poyerished mobiles to American heireses.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ATTACKED.
The revelations made at the inquest
over the remains Of Harold Frederic,
correspondent Of the New York Times,
who died on Oct. 10. at kanley, have
aroused considerable feeling against
Christian Scientists. Canon Riton,
preaching in Westminster Abbey. at
tracted attention TO this matter by a
vehement protest against the growth
OF this and kindred sects He is. q
fashionable preacher and addresses a
great social congregation, many OF
whom are we'll known to be Christian
Scientists, who number among their re-
cruits Lady Dunmore and Lady Abin-
ger.
Canon Riton warmly denounced the
greedy belief in Quackery, which is now
prevalent and emphasized the fact
that this spirit of credullty is growing
with the enormous expansion Of edu-
cation and mechanical and scientific
progress He said: Boston is the
most cultured city of the most progress
sive nation in the world, yet parts OF
Boston are given up to mediums, wiz
ards and astrologers."
AS an instance of this, he said: "A
party of women in Boston recently
dressed themselves in White and sat up
all night long waiting for the millen-
ium Yet the United States is a prac-
teal country
A curious instance of muscular Chris
tianity, arising out Of a ritualistic con-
troversy, has occurred in the parish
church of Clevedon. Somersetshire
where the anti-ritualists proposed tC
interfere with the services. The vicar
announced that in response to his sug-
gestion he had received gift of brass
Birmingham "knucllles,' which, be
added, he had distributed among tbs
members of the choir and orchestra
enjoining them TO use the "knuckle
busters" freely il any obstruction OF
the service was offered. The next
Sunday, he added, that he himself had
carried .l1nuckle busters for the pasi
20 years.
4 DEPARTURE OF THE CURzoNs.
I Lord Curzon of Kedleston. the new
viceroy OF India, and Lady Curzon start
for India on Dec. 16. They evidently
intend TO make a lavish beginning OF
their hospitality, as they have already
ordered 10000 ball programmes, 5, 50(
evening party cards, 1900 garden party
cards, 2.00o dinner party invitation
cards, $500 'at home" cards and !, 30t
menu cards.
1t appears that before assuming the
title. young Curzon called upon Baro1
Curzon, the title borne by Earl Howe
head Of the Curzon-HOwe family ant
asked him If he objected to his 81
dong. The baron SAID ne hau no OBJ
lection if Curzon undertook TO be-
known as Baron Gurzon of Kedleston
and allow the title to drop when he
succeeds his father as Lord Searsdale
The long-eXpected Life Of Parnell,
by Barry O'Brien was published this
week by Smith & Elder, and has beer
lengthily reviewed by the English
press. It is generally admitted tina
Mr. OBrien has done his work vel
and impartially. But the volumes are
none the less disappointing. as they art
more in the nature of a political biog
raphy than a Boswellian portrait. There
are, however, some interesting reveal
tions in regard to the Clan-na- gael
which, it appears, sent an agent Il
London in the spring of 1873 to discus:
the question of united action with Mr.
Parnell. But the conferences came tx
nothing.
Mr.. O'Brien says Mr.. Parnell had tht
strongest sympathies with Fenianism
but was resolved mot to be managed
by Fenians, nor aided by any force
whatever
In another place Mr.. O'Brien says
at is idle TO shirk the truth. The Ma.
tional League Of America was run By
revolutionists, who were held in check
so far as they were held in check a
all. by the fact that they had Parnel
to deal with.
