TOO PROUD TO ASK AID
THE MARCHIONEss OF DONEGAL IN
A LONDON WORKHOUSE.
HI and Destitute, but Unwilling to
Communicate with Wealthy Friends
Hall Gaines Impressions.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The marchioness of
Donegal will eat her Christmas dinner in a
London workhouse. Ill, miserably clad and
apparently in acute restitution, she applied
yesterday for admittance to the Great
Northern Hospital from which place she
was removed to the Islington workhouse
infirmary. She explained that she was
homeless and not willing to communicate
with her wealthy friends or with her hus-
band, who is suffering from pneumonia.
The story of the life of the marehioness
is painful. She left her husband in 1873 and
in 1889 instituted separation proceedings,
with which counter charges of misconduct
We're made Unsavory details of their con-
JuSal life were also banded about. The
marehioness failed to obtain imony and h. S
since received assistance from her friends.
She was last heard of in May of the present
year, when she broke her leg in a hotel ele-
vator and was taken to a hospital.
The marquis has had troubled financial
career. He was declared bankrupt in 1889
with liabilities estimated at G51S S10. He
then said he considered he was justified in
raising half a million of money in view of
the fact that he had prospects of succeed
Ing to an estate of $4,000 a year. But
owing to the entail he only succeeded to
9lSO a year. He was mixed up in financial
notation this year when he lent his name
70 a company prospectus, which caused the
Star to criticise him as peer who disgraced
the order (Which he belonged.

tIOn of the Philippines.

NEW YORK, Dec. Glover two hundred
members and friends of the New England
Society, of Brooklyn, assembled Tonight at
the Pouch mansion. on Clinton avenue, at
the nineteenth annual dinner of the organic
cation in celebration of the landing of the
Pilgrims. Among the guests were Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Rev. Minot ]. Savage, st.
Clair McKelway Willard Bartlett and Capt.
John R. Bartlett. United States navy.
Colonel Roosevelt was introduced as the
first speaker. responding to the toast, "Fhe
Day We Celebrate" The speaker declared
himself unequivocally in favor of assuming
control of the Philippines, the inhabitants
of which should be controlled until they
were taught to govern themselves. THEY
were not New Englanders and, therefore,
could not be governed according to New
England principles. Colonel Roosevelt re-
ferred to the work of Major General Wood,
as Governor General of Santiago, and said
that it was the men of his stamp who were
fitted to govern our newly-acquired possess
sions that they should be unhampered ex-
cept to exact good results, and that the
islands should not be given over to the
spoils Of the politician. If we fail we shall
be infinitely more unworthy than Spain, for
we shall sin against the light, seeing the
light. He was not afraid of the experiment.

APARTMENT HOUSE FIRE.
The MeIrOse, Chicago Building, De
StrOyed-LOss, Over 100000.

CHICAGO. Dec. 21.-The Melrose apart
ment building, the largest structure of it's
kind on the South Side of the city, was al
most completely destroyed by fire tonight,
entailing a loss that will exceed $780, 900.
Flames which had been smoldering in the
structure for probably more than half an
hour before they were discovered suddenly
burst forth from the northeast corner of
the structure. From floor to floor the flames
ran rapidly until they had reached the top
OF the structure. At the beginning of the
flre the occupants of the building were noti-
fled and they escaped without difficulty. A
number of Them however, lost their furni-
ture and valuables
Scores of occupants of the building were
saved from probable death or injury by fire
by the heroism of Paul l.. Fischer the ele-
Yator boy employed in the structure
Through choking clouds of smoke and al
most uncomfortable heat the boy made ter
trips with his car and carried those on the
upper floors to places of safety Then. ex-
hausted from his efforts, he staggered out
of the building and was taken care of by
those whom he had rescued.

LONDON, Dec 22.-Hall Game, the novel
list and playwright. who returned from the
United States by the White Star steamer
Majestic, which reached Liverpool on Tues
day, interviews himself this morning in the
Daily Telegraph to the extent of four col
umns, giving his personal Impressions of
America. OF American journalism Mr..
Caine speaks highly, though he is surprised
at the small and fleeing impression the war
has made on the minds and conditions of
American people," He thinks there is mo
great life in the controversy on the expan-
sion question" for he doubts whether any
body feels keenly either way"
Regarding the relations between Great
Britain and the United States Mr.. Caine
says: II believe that the feeling in America
toward England is the same it was three
years ago. Certainly there has been no such
extraordinary change can be observed IN
England towards America. Nobody in the
United States appears to want an alliance
or an understanding. Good feeling for Eng
land is deep and widespread but the Eng
fish traveller in America is made to feel that
we I'm England much more vocal on the
union of the Anglo-Saxon race than our
cOmpatriots in America are yet prepared to
be- Mr.. Game discusses pleasantly and adj
mringly most American institutions.

indianapolis has been fortunate thus far
I'm escaping the dreaded grip epidemic which
seems to have suddenly seized neighboring
cities, but it is probably well not to offer
congratulations too early. for certain sus-
picious sneezing has been prevalent, partic-
ularly among women, in the last two days.
While this has been attributed to the change
in the weather, it is recalled that the first
appearance of this epidemic in Indiana
nine years ago was first marked by this gen.
eral tendency to sneeZe. Several of the doc
tors report no apparent increase in the grip,
which is present to some extent every win

on the increase, he does not see, as yet, in

JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind, Dec. IL
George Green is in jail, charged with the
murder of his wife on the night of Nov. g.
at Cementville. Some one called Mrs. Green
to her door that night and then shot her.
She fingered a week and then died. Green
was suspected and evidence is now piling up
against him. 1t has been found that either
Green or someone else had prepared to blow
up the house occupied by the family. Yes
terday a. fuse was found protruding from
the ground under the edge of the house. An
investigation proved that the fuse was con-
nected with six sticks of dynamite. The
condition of the fuse indicated that an at
tempt had been made to ignite it. Had the
explosion taken place, not only Green's wife,
but his children, also, would have been
blown to atoms.
