Disgracefu Exhibition Of the Smart Set at the Hartopp
Divorce Casa Reminder Of the Prince Consort
BY HENRY D EvEREAUx.
ONDON, December 20.-The Har- country
topp divorce case has revealed to other tr
da. has

country in the world Nevertheless, an
other traveller, with experiences in Ugan-
da, has been on a voyage of discovery
round the green isle, under the aegis of
British newspaper. The result of this
voyage is being related with the por-
tentous gravity of a certain class of
British journals when dealing with Ire
land. The remembrance of some notori-
Gus facts in connection with the country
would help the situation far more than
the observations of the most intelligent
traveller. For instance, 1t is an incon-
vertible fact that Ireland is ireland, and
inhabited by the Irish. Also that the
Irish are Irish according to their own
method of being SO, and do not sit at the
feet of any other people to be sermon
lied, lectured or to receive instructions
on the correct method of being Irish.
They think they know best. Let Eng
land put itself in Ireland's place, and
as it is said in Ireland, the whole dis
covery will be found out" Imagine an
Irishman going around England, not only
on a voyage of discovery, but with the
grave intent of teaching the people how
to be English. Let liberty and equality
come first. fraternity will follow, and the
agreement to differ. The Irish will never
cease to be Irish. any more than the
British will give up being British
The dreadfully sad death OF Sir James
Graham Montgomery of Stanhope, was
probably due to his walking in his sleep,
as he had developed this habit recently.
He no doubt while asleep opened the
door of the railway carriage in which
he was travelling. and fell out on the
line. Sir James was a very popular man,
and his death is deeply lamented by a
host of friends, and particularly by the
tenants on his large estates in Scotland.
He was renowned as a caricaturist, and
some of his drawings are exceedingly
clever.
Some years ago the papers all an
nounced that Queen Victoria had made

Kew to the public, and her late Majesty's
generosity was praised in the most enthu-
siastic terms. The cottage itself is OF
no Importance, but lne private grounds
which surround 1t are nicely wooded and
extend over several acres. No steps have
ever been taken to complete this gift to

them. 1t would be INTERESTING to learn
the full history of this AFFAIR If it is
necessary to reserve the cottage as
official residence, surely the grounds
ought long ago to have been incorpor-
ated with Kew Gardens, which adjoins
them.
Mr.. Sidney Whitman has just published
a narrative of Personal "reminiscences
of Prince Bismarck" in which there is
tale told by the chancellor about the
prince consort, of whom he seems not to
have been a very fervent admirer:
THE prince consort had brought to
England ideas of his princely preroga-
tive from Germany which did not accord
with those to which the English aris-
tocracy were accustomed, and all the
less so sincere many English noblemen
thought themselves every bit as good as
German prince. One morning Prince
Albert Joined the meet of the royal buck
hounds All were awaiting the arrival
Of the master of the hunt in order to
start the hounds. The prince consort
ordered the hunt to begin, and this was
at once done. Shortly afterward. the
master arrived, and, hearing what had
occurred, ordered the hounds to be call
ed of, and turning his back on the party
galloped of without further ado. Prince
Albert rode back to Windsor and conf
planned TO the queen, WIN oiiai eo ms 80
dignation She sent for Lord Palmer
ton who was prime minister, and In
sisted that he must Immediately call on
the master of the buckhounds to resign.
The prime minister replied that II this
was Her Majesty's pleasure, he saw no
alternative but to place his own resig-
nation, as we'll as that of all his col
leagues in her hands. The queen, there
fore, for the time being, at least, had
to condone the slight put upon her hus-
band
Except on grounds of universal goodwill
to all mankind no Londoner cares one
brass farthing whether Mr. Morgan or
Mr.. Yerkes, or both of them are hanged
or whether they add a few millions to
their modest stores. What we want is a
system of underground communication
that will meet the requirements of Lon

That this is So we owe entirely to

the scheme of the Central London rail-
way for converting the present two
penny tube"sinto circular railway, not
withstanding that this scheme had the
approval of the London city council and
the city corporation-the only two au-
thorities entitled to speak for London
as whole in the matter. Between the
alterations of a committee of peers and
