Subject of Precedence the one Topic
of Conversation Amusing to
Americans, But Serious
Thing to Britishers.

The subject of precedence is now
to the fore in coronation gossip. II
would seem there is great differ.
ence between ancient custom and the
hard facts Of modern life, which, il
is hoped, will be rectified before
coronation day comes round.
1t is considered by many that the
order of precedence is at least two
centuries behind the times. Take,
for instance, the members of the gov
eminent alone.
The lord chancellor, the lord presi-
dent of the council, the lord of the
privy council, the lord of the privy
seal and the chancellor of the duchy
of Lancaster, all of whom hold com
paratiyely unimportant Offices, have
their places duly assigned, but with
the exception of the chancellor of the
exchequer, the secretaries of state
and members of the administration,
who really count, are not so much as
mentioned in the recognized tables
of precedence.
The prime minister, the most i'm
portant parsonage in the empire next
TO the king, has no place in the list.
Arthur Balfour, being plain com.
moner, takes his place among the or
binary esquires. Joseph Chamberlain,
as secretary of state for the colonies,
marches some 26 degrees in front of
him, sandwiched between bishops and
barons and minor officers of the house
hold on the one hand and sons of the
smaller peers on the other.
When there was a lord admiral he
had front place in all public functions,
but the admiralty being now in a. com
mission the lord chamberlain takes no
cognizance of his representatives. So
far as that official is concerned the
present ruler of the king navee" has
no real existence.
Neither has the president of the
board of trade, the president of the

TO HUNT THE TIGER.
The Viceroy of India and Lady Cur
zon to Indulge in the Royal
sport of India.

News has been received in Washing
ton of the safe arrival of the viceroy
of India and Lady Curzon at the vice
regal lodge, Simla, India, from a pro-
longed stay at Government house in
Calcutta and trip to Burmah. The
viceroy and Lady Curzon are prepar-
ing to start on their annual tiger
hunt, the royal sport of India at this
season, and have invited Miss Daisy
Letter, sister to Lady Curzon, to join
them.
Both Miss Letter and Miss Daisy
Letter joined them in the tiger hunt
two years ago, and were enthusiastic
over the sport. Most of the hunting
is done from the back of an ele-
plant or from an elevated platform
in a jungle, the former being consid-
cred the most risky and most thrill
ing method of pursuing the game.
Lady Curzon and her children are
said to be in the best of health.
Miss Daisy Letter has decided not
to accept the invitation. owing to
the long journey involved.

HOUSE is NOT HAUNTED.
Old London DeIusiOn Regarding
Berkeley Square Mansion Is Dis
PEELED by the Owner.

Berkeley square must give up long
cherished delusion. This is the belief
that it is the possessor of a genuine
haunted house. More than one novel
has been written around it, and the
doings of the ghostly tenants have been
a favorite theme for romancers. Now
the countess of Sellzirk, who owns the
mansion, which. by the way, is No. 5A,
has written to the press denying that
her house is the abode of beings not
in the flesh She says the house was
occupied by an old Mr.. Myers, who
left ii TO his sister on condition that
she neither sold nor rented it. Miss
Myers preferred her own place in
Tilney street, and the residence re-
naming untenanted so long in fash
ionable part of London gave rise to ru-
mors that it was haunted. The earl
of Selkirk bought 1t when Miss Myers
lease expired. Lady Selkirk says she
intends to continue her occupation of
the house.

There win be rejoicing in Wales, and
among loyal Welshmen the world over,
now that the Red Dragon Of Cadwal-

heraldic achievement Of the prince OF
Wales by order Of the king in eoun-
ell that there be added to the achieve

Of the princeton the sinister side (the
spectators right, that is) Of the royal
crest as heir apparent, while the an
cient badge of the ostrich feathers is
on the other side, the crest and the
two badges appearing thus in line over
the shield. The badge of Wales, as
defined in the kings order, is: "On

differenced as is the royal crest with
a label Of three points argent" The
duke of Norfolk, the earl marshal of
England, is charged to see that the
necessary directions be given. The

which contains colored drawings Of

presumably written in the days Of Ed

A reproduction is also given Of the
banner Of King Henry VII, taken from
the Vincent MS, No. 1852, in the Col

seen that that king quartered the red
dragon in a banner with his other
badges. Henry also used the dragon
as a supporter, and it can be seen with

Wonderful Things Promised by an
Indianapolis Man.
Device to See Over Telephone Almost
Perfected Second Invention
Separates Gold from sand
at Small Cost.

An inventive genius Of Indianap-
oils, Ind, whose name is withheld
for the present, within a few weeks
will give the world two inventions
that promise to reyolutionize two
great industries Of the world and, at
the same time, to affect other cham
nels Of the worlds commerce.
One is a device whereby man
talking at a telephone may see who
is talking and be seen by the talker,
as well as hear and be heard, no
matter how great the distance sep
arating the two instruments. The
other is device separating flour"
gold from the sand and foreign par
ticles surrounding it, rendering
placer mining SO cheap that the pre-
cious metal may be probably sep
arated from collaborating dirt at ex-
pense so small that the cost of OPP
GRAFTON is, in substance, nothing.
The inventor is represented by At
torney Bernie b. Cohen, a young law
yer who befriended the man, and,
when he was practically penniless,
advanced him funds with which he
might continue his experiments and
bring his machines to the present
state of perfection.
Attorney Cohen declared to Chi
cago Tribune correspondent that the
gold separating device viii render
the work of separating microscopic
particles of gold from surrounding
sand as cheap as the Edison mag
netic process for drawing minute
particles of iron from other foreign
materials with which it is mixed.
ut might be called the inven-
tors representative said, IAN 'au-
ronetc' mechanism, inasmuch as it
attracts particles of the precious
metal as the magnet attracts parti-
Giles of iron or steel"
The other invention, for similar
reasons, has been named the telelec-

Windsor supporting portcullis en-
signed with rose. From his time the
Tudor monarch used the dragon as
one of the supporters of the royal
arms. Henry VII. descended from
owen Tudor, thus proclaimed his
Welsh ancestry, but the dragon
dropped out when the Stuart dynasty
succeeded. and has not reappeared I'M
til now, al last, the king, with his
usual gracious sympathy with national
aspira tions, has restored it to the
achievement of arms of the heir APP
parent, who takes his title from the
principality. In 1898 the complaint
was that Wales was not represented
on the coinage, and as Wales claims to
possess a shield Of arms as well as a
badge, il was then said that these arms

SAINT guardant counterchanged) ought
to be quartered with England, Scot
land and Ireland in the royal banner
while another suggestion was that the
red dragon should be made a charge
and quartered on the banner.
From the quarteTed banner of King
Henry VII. it will be seen that the
red dragon was actually SO quartered
but it was quartered with other badges
of the king, and not with the royal
arms. 1t is as = badge, and correct
~ so, that the red dragon now reap

through the medium of electricity as
has been made possible for the ear
through the application of the same
agent in telephone form.
"The telelectroscope," Attorney
Cohen declares, "has reached stage
where perfection is practically as
sured. In the inventors laboratory
the device has been tried and tested
and its operation is successful. 1t
only remains to add an improvement
or two before the mechanism will be
in shape to be put on the market.
Attached to the sending device Of
the telephone, rising above and over
it, will be a small mirror-hl1e re-
Hector. The talker, by gazing into
this, win see pictured before him
not only the person talking at the
other end of the wire, but also the
objects surrounding the talker. Pic
lures on the walls, chairs, tables,
and, in fact, all the furnishings with
in focus, will be accurately repro
duced in the picturing mirror.
At the same time a device at
tached to the other telephone will
enable the second person to see as
clearly and distinctly as the first.
"These sending devices are always
in focus. They can be moved about,
turned from side to side on their
stationary support, to suit the con-
venience and wishes of the talker.
In whatever manner they are turned
faithful reproduction of all that
comes within the lines of the focus
will be portrayed in the reflector at
the other end"
The receiving device is in the form
of a circle, the diameter of which is
five inches. The figures and scenes
are thrown upon delicate screen
through the medium of strong in
candescent light hidden behind the
surface. The sending apparatus is
more complex. 1t operates, however,
much as does the focusing devices
common on cameras.

Treaey Sunday.
TO STOP THE SCARLET FEVER
Both City and Public Schools Closed
For Two Weeks-Sunday Schools
Are Also to close.

A majority of the Lewistown Board
Of Health met in the office of DR..
Treacy Sunday afternoon at 5 O'Clock
for the purpose of discussing ways
and means of preventing the spread
of scarlet fever, which is contagious
in the city.
City Health Officer Treacy stated
the conditions which exist at the pres
ent time. the discovery Of six new
cases and the chances of further
spread of the %contagion. After con-
siderable discussion it was decided
that 1t is for the best interest of the
health of the city to order the schools
to be closed for two weeks, or until
the l5lh of this month. when, If the
fever has been checked, they will open
again, otherwise notice will be given
through the local papers. The order
applies to the county high school also
and it was suggested that Sunday
Schools be suspended for the next
two Sundays. In order to make this
precaution of any avail 1t will be nee
essary for parents to keep their chill
dren as closely at home as possible
and thus assist the authorities to that
extent in stamping out the fever, so
that the schools will not have to re-
main closed any longer than the 18th.
By a queer coincidence, the ques,
ton of closing the schools came up
between some gentlemen who were
collected out in front of the Methodist
parsonage Sunday evening, having
been brought there " the fire, and il
was discovered that a majority OF the
board and the clerk were present, SO
they held a regular meeting there on
the sidewalk and it was decided to at
once order the schools closed for the
time recommended by the board OF
health.
