are saying in cycling circles.
The cable last week has brought q
brief interview with Edna May, "It is
true that have brought suit for a di-

she said.
The evening that Edna May gave the
interview she went to charming after
theatre supper with Mr.. H. 8. H. Caven-
dish. the Duke of Manchester, and an ac-
tress or two. Tho evening of the day
when the interview was published Fred
Titus humble part in 1.-The Belle of New

Middletown, Conn. The ex-cycling cham
pion had taken the first train for New

with good natured density.
Fred Titus walked out hanging his
head ruefully. Luck had been against
him on the track for many months. The

to him a new title. He was known to

thrown upon the stage by admirers of
both sexes. A South African mining
company sent her shares to the amount
Of $4,000. Such items as this began to
appear in the London society papers:

attracting so much of the attention Of
scientists all over the world, has now

is asking for accurate information about

Johns Hopkins university, and one of the
leading chemists Of the country.
Perhaps the most important year book
for the year 1898 is that published by

estimation as the duke Of Deyonshire.
Compared to him the duke Of Marlbor-

eSty are conspicuous only for their ab-
sence. About himself, and about his
famous family, Mr.. Moscheles has really
very little to say. and his volume might
more appropriately be entitled "Recolleo-,
tions of Famous Poets, Artists and Mu-
sicians' than fragments of an Auto
biography" The charm and interest Of
his book for the most part consists in an
untold number Of Intimate and delightful
"reminiscences of Dupont, Mendelssohn,
Mazzini, Rossini, Henry Irving, Ellen
Terry, and Robert Browning.
Beginning with his boyhood, the artist,
with an indescribable charm of style.
tells of his early days with his godfather
Mendelssehn, of his student life in Paris,
of his models and his youthful love af-
fairs. and of a sketching tour along the
river Loir, in the company of his school
conirade. Claude Raoul Dupont.
In two chapters he tells of his journey,
to the United States in 1883 with Henry
Irving and Ellen Terry as his travelling
companions. The artist spent several
years In New York and Chicago, and the
story of his life during this time is mimi
tably we'll done. He shows that he car
ried away the most favorable impressions
of America and Americans, although, like
most Englishmen of twenty years ago.
he found the country far beyond his eX-
pectations.
Browning at the Studio" Is the title
of a chapter that tells of the artists
friendship with Robert Browning, and is
a charming picture of the great poet dur
ing the closing years of his life Brown
ing was almost a daily visitor at the
authors studio, and the book tells much
that is new and much that will be of in
teroSt in connection with the Browning
revival caused by the publication of the
Love Letters of Robert Browning and
Elizabeth Barrett-Barrett."
Throughout, the book is marked by the
surprising beauty of its literary work
manship, and by the charm of style that
made the authors former work, IN Bo-
hemia with Du Maurer, such a thor
oughly readable book. Mr.. Moscheles
sees life from an artists standpoint and
the book he has written is an artists
book His is the pen-work of a painter
who loves humanity and who takes a
broad and sympathetic view of it, in all
it's manifold phases. His work is of
course too fragmentary to be compre-

knowledge of any of his famous friends,
but it can be said without the least ex-
aggeration that his literary portraits will
shine with a lustre of their own, even
when compared to the famous oil poi

TRAGEDY OF THE OCEAN.
An Open Boat Containing Nine Bod
les Drifts Ashore.

SAN FRANCISCO, April. 22-The steam
er City Of Para from Central American
ports brings details of an ocean tragedy.
While the vessel was at Corinto, an open
boat containing the remains of nine men
who perished months ago, drifted ashore
there. The bodies were horribly emaciat-
ed, and the manner in which their limbs
We're contorted showed that they must
have died in terrible agony. Not a drop
of water and not particle of food was
in the boat.
In December last Louis w. Maslen. of
the Ell Triumfo Pier, three of the port
officers, and five boatmen put off from
Ell Triumfo and boarded the mail steam
ship. They remained on board until an
approaching storm warned them to re-
turn. The storm came up quickly, and
overlook the boat soon after 1t left the
ship. 1t was never seen again until 1t
drifted into Corinto. Louis w. Maslen was
the son of E. w Masen, deputy naval Of
ficer of this port. The names of the
other victims are not given.
