OF a public man as greeted the recent
address of the Duke OF Norfolk to the
pope expressing hope Of the restora-
ton of temporal Independence OF the
pontifi- Bitter as have been the de-
nuneiation of the Italian press. the
comments OF the London newspapers
have been quite as caustic.
Nothing could be more cOntempti-
bic than the Duke Of NoFfOlk's behav~
io4'." says the Daily News IF the
Italian government mad known he was
visiting Rome for the purpose of pro-
testing against their presence in their
own capital they would have been per-
fectly justified in stopping him at the
frontier. Not content with insulting
the king of Italy and the people OF
Rome. his despicable address also con-
demned the federation of Italian Pro
testantS by the Italian government. 1t
would be difficult for an English Cath
oIc to sink lower
Movements at York house. Swicken-
nam, indicate that il is the intention
of the Duke of Orleans 10 return TO
England. whence he had been ostTa-
cised since he congratulated Willette
the Inner, on the caFicatuFeS grossly
insulting to Queen Victoria, which ap-
peared in Paris comic papers. The
dukes mother. the Countess Of Paris.
is said TO have been in communication
With the queen and the Prince of
Wales in the hope of patching UP the
matter.
Many Stories on Armour.
The newspapers devote much space
10 the late Philip ID. Armour. Columns
of stories have been printed, mostly
apocryphal. as can be judged from a
sample from the Daily Chronicle, as
follows:
MIR. Armour usually took six weeks
each year for driving in coach
through England.
" 1t costs me- the writer quotes him
saying, a fraction under &2 a day
per head for myself and guests for
coach hire.
The writer adds that Mr.. Armour
was a careful but not mean man, and
this low estimate of the cost of the
coaching was due to the fact that Mr.
Armour and the guests he was likely
to invite drank water at their meals.
Fyvie Castle is Cursed.
The memorial to be used as an insti-
tute by the Gordon Highlanders at
Aberdeen, which Mrs. Forbes-Leith.
formerly of New York, intends to erect
d cost Of 1900 in memory of her
son, Lieutenant Percy +. FOrbes-L eith
ii the First CRoyaD Dragons, who
died of fever recently at Newcastle,
Natal. recalls the fact that Fyvie cas-
e (AIrs. Forbes-Leith's residence) is
OF he many mysterious places IN
Scotland, said to have curse Which in
aDiy tails on the eldest son of the
house For many generations the
iuperty has failed to descend in a di-
ct line. and when Duh-Gordon sold
Fyvie castle to Forbes-Leith it was
argued that the curse could not be
transferred to another family. But
the death of the young subaltern. at
the age of 20, has revived the supersti-
lions of all Aberdeenshire. Mrs. Forbes
Leith was formerly Miss January Of
St. Louis.
Vice Consul Makes Trouble.
United States Consul Church Howe
of Palermo, who has just exchanged
posts with c. NJ tombstone of Shelf
field. has found a hornets nest await
ing him which he has since been bUsiiy
engaged in combating. During the in
teTTegnum the vice consul, who is a
British subject, had undertaken to
cOnstrue the consular rules in such a
manner that he imposed additional
fees on exporters for affidayits, not
heretofore demanded. In a fortnight
the vice consul created SO much irri-
tation that the chamber of commerce
had to draw up q protest to Lord Sal
iSbuTy. requesting that it be forwarded
to Washington. Hr. Howe immediate
ly countermanded the vice consul s
rulings, and speedy reorganization
of the consulate is anticipated.
In spite of the large increase of
American manufacture of cutlery, -
said Mr.. Howe to a representative of
the Associated Press, there are some
Sheffield articles we demand, and our
view of a cOnSuIS duty is to facilitate
in every way the export trade. Shelf
field has been a point of more or less
friction for years. But 1 trust 1 make
il Teciprocally more pleasant for both
exporters and consul"
