LONDON, Aug. 23.-There appears to-
day in the most expensive columns OF
London's newspapers OF the biggest cir

between 1906 and 1929 into ten kingdoms

These ten Kingdoms will form a Latin

NEW ENGLAND HACKMAN
BUNCoES GENERAL MILES
Driven to Fitchburg at the Cabbie's Re
quest to Attend Non-Existent
Reception.

LEOMINSTER. Mass, Aug. 22.-An en-
terprising hackman got the better OF
Gen Nelson A. Miles during his visit
10 his sister here on Thursday. After
dinner the general took a stroll down
town, unaccompanled. and called upon
one of his aides, whom he had left at
a hotel when he went to dine with the
Merriams
While at the hotel he was waited upon
by a hackman and informed that he was
wanted Immediately at the JUhLsonia
Hotel. in Fitchburg. The message was a
surprise TO the general who said that
he had intended later in the day to go
to that city by trolley. but if the peo-
pie OF Fitchburg had planned a little re-
ception he would not disappoint them.
He told the hackman he would be
ready to start at 3 o'clock. Promptly
on the hour the hackman appeared al
the Merriam homestead with the best
turnout he possessed. and General Miles
got aboard. accompanied by his wife
and sister. Mrs. Mary J. Merriam, all
dressed for reception.
In about an hour ihe party reached
the Jobnsonia. expecting to be met by a
committee. but. aside from an elevator
boy. nobody was on hand 10 receive
them. Nor could they find anybody who
seemed to know anything about their
coming or the message desiring the
generals presence in Fitchburg
The general eXpostulated with the
hackmaE to whom he had previously
paid 81 and went into the hotel TO find
ont more about the matter. asking the
fackman to wait for him. But the hack
man did not wait.
When the generals presence in Fitch
burg was announced he was waited upon
by committee appointed for the pur-
pose. No member OF the committee
knew about the hack. and ali agreed
that he had been buncOed.

TEMPTATIONS. IN SOCIETY.
George W. E. Russell Finds Less In
temperance But Gambling on
the Increase.

LONDON. Aug. 23.-George William
Erskine Russell has been writing some
plainspoken things about about the young
man in society He expresses the opin-
ion. for instance, that intemperance is
no longer one of the most urgent perils
awaiting young men.
He gives one curious illustration,
namely. that King Edward. by intro
ducing the custom of smoking directly
after dinner, killed the practice Of heavy
drinking. This, combined with the in
fiuences of church. and social reformers
and the medical profession. has produced
an unmistakable improvement in regard
to temperance.
Mr. Russell considers, on the other
hand that the perils of betting and
gambling are seriously increasing.

Nothing seems TO have pleased or i'm

of his reception and the royal salute

This dislike of high speed Is not due to
nervousness, but to the fact that It

Good Guides Costly.

The question OF economy often enters
in. as good guides are very expensive.
and they insist on having an ample
sufficiency OF assistants. proportioned
to the number and experience OF the
party. For this reason people who are
anxious 10 climb. but who are unable or
unwilling 20 incur the heavy expense.
risk their lives with inferior guides.
Some correspondents go so far as to
suggest that some deaths are really sui
cides. the Alps offering an easy death.
which is net tainted by suspicion.
Others say that mountain madness. 50
by which is meant the madness for
mountain climbing, amounts in many
cases 10 insanity.
One correspondent suggests that "the
mountain climber and the English par
son are the most dangerous type, and
should be put in restraint like any
other harmless lunatic."

REASON OF THE HEAVY
ALPINE DEATH ROLL
Many Accidents Spring From
Avoidable Causes.
Desire cf Amateurs to Attempt Risky
Feats-Unwillingness to Pay Ex-
perienced Guides Counts.

LONDON. Aug. 23.-The series of acct
dents in the Alps reported this season
has. naturally provoked much comment
in Vie newspapers. Many persons, es-
pecially members of Alpine clubs, have
been writing to the papers, pointing out
and marveling that the death roll has
not been heavier. They deprecate any
attack on the sport of Alpine climbing
which they maintain is as safe as any
other sport.
They declare that nine-tenths of the
accidents are due TO causes which
could be avoided. such as bad guiding
and attempts by inexperienced amateurs
TO make such climbs as, the Matterhorn
and the Jungfrau without guides or by
placing themselves in the hands OF in
competent assistants.
