LoNDoN's COSTLY GUESTS.
Great Sums Expended in Ente- taining
 Dignitaries Who Go There.

When the city enterjains distinguish
 cd guests it lavishes it's money with a prOfusiCn more befftting an eastern po-
 tentate than a body of thirty city men. IL is. indeed. no uncommon thing for
 the city fathers to spend on the en- tertainment of guest much more than his own weight in gold compli- ment surely of which even enperors
 may be proud.
 The city was never moved to more prodigal hospitality than in 1876, when
 i'll entertained the prince of Wales on his returnHfrom India. Tn honor of the
 return of the wanderer' the lord mayor and corporation spent no less
 than Sf37 895, or sufficient sOvereigns
 to outweigh two princes, even of his present ample proportions Nine years earlier the city was almcst equal ly lavish, when it entertained the sul- tan at a cost Of S123O O63 Tn 1893 it cost the corporation S52 035 to welcome the shah of Persia, although in the fol- lowing year the czar was brilliantly en- tertained at a cost of nearly $15,000 less.
 Thanksgiving day cost the city $65,- 9S5, or almost as much as the czar's re- ception; and the jubilee rejOicings of 1887 left the city poorer by $58. .000 The prince of Wales welding, thirty five years ago was the signal for great display Of city hospitality The amount spent in entertainments alone was $63 900; and in addition t0 this the corporation spent $50,O00 on the dia- mond necklace and earrings presented to the princess.
 When the queen attended the lord mayors banquet in 1897 the ccTpora- tiOn spent S40860 in entertaining her. and the outlay, when she again honor ed the city fourteen years later, was $2S,770. Thus on nine entertainments alone the city has I3v'shed T } less than $G69G5 or an average of S74,340 for each guest.
 In contrast to this regal entertain l ment it is interesting to ncta that in | 1727 George II was entertained at 9 cost of $188; King Victor Emmanuel. in i 1855, for $6.690. and MT. Stanley, eight | years ago, for $7.755
 The marriage of the duke and duch- ess of York cost the city $19, ,240; in | 1891, the German emperor was enter ! tained fer S1S,820; the shah, in 1889 |. for s10, 240, and the king of Denmark, | in 1888, for the very moderate suIn Of $S. 1925.
 It marks the unstable character Of | city hospitality that it cost to enter tain an emperor, @ shah and a king | less han one-third the sum lavished on ! the sultan in 1S67.-Tit-Bits.

DIDN'T MIND HER STATION.
Rich New York Boy Who Chose an Inn
 Keepers Girl for His Wife

An inn keepers daughter is the bride of the brother of the wife of the broth
 CT of Mrs. George Vanderbilt And
 that is sufficiently remarkable for the
 daughter of an inn keeper as is an inn keeper-no proprietor of a metropoli-
 tan hotel, but mine host of 8 village
 read house. Daniel Biodgett Burnh8m
 had every indGcement, and every CD-
 portunity, t.. marry a girl of exalted
 station. He had much money, an in
 dulgent mother, and q barOnial home
 at Fishkill. He was Q member of the Seawankaka Corinth an and the New York Yacht clubs. He had rich and powerful relatives. And he was only 24 years old. They are affiliated with many distinguished New York families are the Burnhams. Mrs. Burrham. for instance, is 3 daughter of the late Dan iel Blodgett. Her husbands brother BrowneH Burnham, married a Miss Havsmeyer. And her daughter Emma is the wife Of Daniel Le Roy Dresser. whose sister, Edith, is Mrs. George Vanderbilt
 There were very particular reasons why young Daniel Blodgett Burnhan preferred the F'ishkill to the New York home His mother thought it was be- cause of the river and the yachting.
 Mrs. Burnham was mistaken. He son was certainly very fond Of the wa ter, ve-y fond of the opan air, very fond of horses, very fond of a country life. But he had another motive altogether for his attachment to T;shkill. About ] mile from the BUrnham place. on the read to Glenham, is a saloon at which it is convenient for driver to Quench his thirst or the thirst of his horses Everybody who has often driven along i that road knows Joseph Sunderlend's 1 inn.

as she sat reading in the old orchard behind the farm.
 There had been 8 rough voyage on the way out from England. One or two of the men had been taken down with fever. Dr. Seaton had been on board and would insist upon attending to them. He was very anxious about his patients; had nursed them day and night-night and day-wOuldn't leave them even when the captain wanted him to do So. Then the men got bet ter, but the doctor himself was taken down with the fever and-and--

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.
Paris Still Makes Holiday cf the De-
 expiration of Her Murderers.

Paris adheres to publicity in scne of her offensive functions, among them her executions of death sentence on criminals. There was such an execu- tion by the guillotine in the Place de h RCQuette on Wednesday, and the available space was filled with C vul- gar, gibing crowd, many of the com Dany having gone to the square early in the night in C~der to secure good places The Saxon countries have lCng since abolished the spectacular and the public in such occurrences aa this. Criminals have no chance to bid for the cheap fame that makes other criminals and secures maHdIin and hysteric sym pathy by posing and declaiming when they desired exit from the world. Our executions take place in jail corridors, screened from view even CT the prison CTS, and the only spectators are 9 few functi0naries, official witnesses, and re- poUter8. In New York the plan is still better, as the killing of the criminal is accom- pIished in a small room in which the attendance is necessarily limited, and is net accompanied by anything of the theatrical or sensational.
 Tho motive that gathers the rough element Of Paris to see Q fellow crea- tu7e deprived of his life is not apgreci- ably better than that OI the Roman pCpulace that went tD the Coliseum to sec the gladiat0Ts kill one another h. deed. it was hardly so worthy. because the gladiator had in his skill and strength a chance for his life, whereas the criminal has no moro chance of it than has the OK in the shambles It is simply Q wish to see blood, to see a death. IL is J morbid and unworthy desire and no gocd comes of it. When executions were public in England crime was more general that it is to- day, so that the publicity of hanging and beheading could have had no de- terrent effect on the passions and evil promptings of the multitude The idea of making holiday of the deoapitatfcn Cf a miserable creature is repellant to our civilization. There are several things in France that are r6pellant to our civilization, in spite of its outward nement.-BroOklyn Eagle.

1T WAS A LONG, LONG WAIT
The Pathetic Story Revealed by inc
 Death Of Dear Old Lady.

In the odd little town of Derby
 Conn, there passed away a few days
 ago gentle faced old lady whose guy
 eyes had watched the evolution of the
 human panorama through all the
 changes of more than a hundred years.
 And in her strong, rugged face, lined and scanned with trial, sorrow, joy and
 hope, was found the lesson of what a
 Woman's patience may endure.
 It was in the spring of 1911 that the town of Rye, N. Y, then as now resi- dential center was awakened out of it's lstha~gy by the arrival of Richard Sea ton of Manchester, England. English men were not exactly popular in those days. The memory of the war of in dependence was too sharp and distinct The Briton with moral courage suffi- cient to seek his fortune in America needed more than the regulation sup ply of Anglo-SaXon grit and sovereign determination in order to hold his ground.
 It is probable. therefore, that Rich ard SeatOn would shortly have ended his visit to America save for one pow erful infiuence-tha1 of his uncle, pr. Richard Bailey, who had landed in America in the days when this country still owed allegiance to the British crown, and who had tended the wound ed soldiers 'cf the revolution.
 But Seaton, in spite of his uncle's powerful influence, would have had but a barren time in Rye had not one of these fortuitous accidents which shape the course of human destinies thrown him in the way of Miss Hetty Purdy, the beauty of the county
 ~ 4IO @f II, tial revival Of all the old desperate hate, and the doctor was for the time again in the shadow. His unfailing good nature and tact in delicately par Tying every kind of verbal assault won his neighbors in spite of themselves. Above all, he possessed nciw an inf1u- ence more powerful than all else to help him-the love of Ephriam Purdy's beautiful daughter. Peace was de- claTed and then to the Eewilderment of all Rye, Hetty Purdy promised to marry Richard Seeic0n.

But marry him and you are a | traitor to me, q traitor to our country 1 and I'll have no more of you" said the 1 father. The crisis had come. Richard l Seaton stood alone. That he had dared 1 to win the love of an American girl | and dared to hold by that love and by i her faith to him was enough to arouse the bitter hatred of all. Hers was the | last face that looked at him as he | sailed away for England; her words were the last to finger in his ears, as with her arms around his neck she tI'll wait, wait until ycu come to me, and-then we will know rest"
 It took five weeks to get to England in those times and five weeks to get back again. Those were not the days of ocean cables and telegraph, and Eetty only knew of the end of her low CTS quest for the money when tougt locking, bronzed man with a touch of the sea in his dress, stood before her

einiskeit Lodge Reviews Fcrty-six
Years Prosperous Life.

GlCs
Einigkeit lodge, D. o. H, celebrated
its 46th anniversary at Frohsinn hall
on Waldo street last night. It was a
social success and more than 100
couples attended.
President Max Biller made a speech
of welcome. He reviewed the history
OF the order since it's foundation in
1858. The years that have come and
gone since that time have been frought
with many changes, but today the lodge
is in the best possible financial condi-
tlon and its roll of membership is
gratifyingly large.
There was an entertainment by men,
bers of the lodge. Henry Burkhardt
made decided hit with his songs. and
George Sandman in a comic song with
a speaking part, kept everybody in a
roar, In their respective lines Messrs.
Burkhardt and Sandman are inimitable.
Supper was served at the close of the
entertainment, and never did the mem
bers sit down to a finer spread. It's
success was largely due to the work
of B. Joseph Bertels, who had it in
charge. Dan Haas, the popular chef,
assisted him.
During the evening William G. Lich-
tenfels, democratic candidate for al
derman, looked in and received a right
royal welcome.
Following the supper, the floor was
cleared for dancing, and this was kept
up until midnight. BicknelPs orchestra
furnished music.
There We're visitors present from
Webster, Lawrence and Cambridge.
Those from Webster We're Henry
