PRTVlTE GLASSES AT HOWBURG.

Homburg correspondence of The London News.
One change has been introduced at the Springs
here. An edict has gone forth that We are all to
use our own glasses for the future. No one quite
knows the motive economy on the part of the
administration, fear of DIR. Koch and his bacil
lus or a desire to introduce ceremonial into the
poor occupation of water drinking. Round the
wells all were more less equal The multi
was part Of the attraction Of the place. The old
blind duke had his special glass brought him
bv his valet. One prince had his. but the dis
tinctions were not much in evidence. This
happy equality that wholesome and HARM
less is at an end. The administration has taken
care of the royalties and lets its other guests
take care of themselves. The Duke of Cam
bridge has had his tumber and so has the
King The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- -Schwer-
in has also been supplied. There will have
Ia be a relay of these crested glasSes-the crestS

bic ROYALTIES. An unexpected arrival may throw
The administration into curious difficulties.
The English, of course, with their nsular dis
like of control, eloquent enough against the
new regulation, especially those who arriving
this week have had it sprung upon them But

with which the foreigner accepts authority

A GREAT
BENEFIT

The founder OF the United States
Life-saylng Service Dr. William A,
Newell, Is stlll living at the ripe age
Of SO and practlcing his profession OF
medicine At Allentown, n, j, DR., New
ellis thoughts were first directed to the
question Of life saving by his witness
Ing the wreck Of vessel at Long
Branch, N, D., In which thirteen lives
were lost, This was In 1889, In 1916
Dr. Newell entered congress and there
began HIS agitation for some method by
which navigation along a certain por'
tion Of the New Jersey coast might bc
rendered less dangerous, Among those
whom he Interested as supporters Of
his views were Abraham Lincoln and
John Quincy Adams, When the light
house bill OF the senate came before
the house for consideration, DR., New
ell offered Il second resolution, proyId-
Ing for surf-boats, rockets, caiTonades
and other necessary apparatus for the
bettGr preservation Of life and prop
erty from shipwreck along the New
Jersey coast An appropriation Of
$4,000 was asked This resolution in
the form Of an amendment to the light
house bill was unanimously adopted

was secured, with an appropriation OF
10000 In the next congress an addi-
tional appropriation of 100000 was
made, as the result OF Dr. Newell's ef-
forts, and the experiments were ex-
tended 10 other points on the Atlantic
coast and the Gulf Of Mexico.
In lS57-60 DR., Newell was governor
Of Now Jersey and In 1861 he was ap-
pointed by President Lincoln as SUPER
ntendont Of the New Jersey coast life

In 1865, he was enabled, from his four
years experience In the work, to great

TEN, In 1866 he proposed extensions
Of the service and successfully adyo-
Gated appropriations OF 100000
Today the government approprlates
for this purpose more than 81 100000

and skilled wreckers and llfo-sayers.
II is said that this feature Of our gov
crnmental system, which Is under the
direction of the treasury department
at Washington, has no counterpart in
any other country, 1t Is estimated that
$4,000 lives have been saved by the

Living Down a Hoodoo.

A New York hotel that is daily over
crowded with patronage Of the first
class was designed as an apartment
house and occupied as such until
ghosts drove the tenants away. Every
night there were strange noises in each
Of the $50 or 400 rooms. The occu-
pants lost sleep and nerves. Women
were afraid to be left alone In broad
daylight, Leases were ruthlessly bro
ken and people moved away in swarms.
The news that the place was haunted
spread all over the country, entlcing
scores Of bold investigators. The
noises continued, but no ghost was
seen. The proprietor was in despair.
Some advised him to burn the house
down, others to wreck it, Finally he
sold. Another of New York's seven
day sensations dropped out Of mind,
and presently new tenants, who had
never heard Of the "haunts," flocked
in to take avantage of the reduced
rates, Today we witness the spectacle
Of hoodoo lived down in the very
heart of our great city.-New York

He Had No Thought OF Reaching the

The second Inauguration Of Presi-

ing to a former western congressman
who is visiting New York:
II was In Washington on the day OF
the Inauguration Of President Harri-
son. Major Mckinley, as he was then
called was In the lower house Of con-
gress. Anyway, he was in Washington
on the day referred to, He was stay
ing at the Ebbitt House and so was l..
AFTER the procession went into the
dining room rather late. Major Nc
Kinley was alone at table and beck
oned me to 1t. Naturally, we talked Of
the event Of the day, and l said among
other things that l presumed he would
be in the same place as Harrison some
day. He replied in these words as
nearly as / recall them:
1T is the one thing which would
always make me hesitate to be presi-
dent, (Meaning the parade) 1 sup
pose we must all have an inaugural
parade, and address from the east side
Of the capitol, and review. But would
dread them II / were president. And
then there is the inaugural ball.
"If | had my own way about 1t |
should dispense with that unless TIE
date could be changed as it ought to be.
The inaugural address should be de-
livered In the lower house. Few OF the
people who assemble in front OF the
building can hear the address. They
go there to see the president. They
could see him much. better along the
line Of the parade.
"Some of these days, unless we
change the date OF our inauguration, a
president will die from the effects Of
exposing himself by appearing as he Is
now required to do first as a speaker
and afterward at the reviewing stand
in front Of the white house.

MORGAN AND GAMBLERS.

Mr., ], Pierpont Morgan, leading cit
izen of the world, crossed the ocean,
Two professional gamblers on the
boat gave a modest imitation Of big
financial deals,
They played with the other passen-
gers--but not with Mr.. Morgan, Mr.,
Morgan sat down, took one look at the
small professional gamblers, and was
Mortified to discover that these gentle
men had arranged what is known as a
sure thing"
The gamblers could NOT lose, the
passengers were BOUND to lose.
The two professionals, Of course, did
not get eleven hundred million dol
lars, or even one million, But they
did get twenty-five hundred dollars,
Mr. Morgan denounced them to the
other passengers and they were COM
PEELED to give back the money,

great public, for having thwarted a
wicked attempt,
We hope the two professional gam
blers will never be so impertinent as
to walk down to the corner OF Wall
and Broad streets, in New York, where
Mr. Morgan has HIS office, and give
their opinion Of the game that Is
played there.
We learn with considerable lndigna-
ton that when the gamblers were ex-
posed they alleged that there was an
element Of humor in their being ex-
posed by Mr.. Morgan.
There was nothing humorous about
it. There Is an enormous difference
between selling for eleven hundred
millions something that you never
owned and working the insidious ace
from the bottom Of the pack into your
own hand.
