While most of the women of the
British aristocracy are preparing for
the display of dress and figure at the
coronation of King Edward in June.
there are four members Of the fair
sex across the water who wear old and
honOred titles who will not need to
spend their money in preparation Tor
this event and who cannot look for

coronation Las no meSning except to
mark their ostracism fron the society

may participate in the procession, ball
and other ceremonies, but 1t is
now claimed that from the list OF IT,

will be omitted the names OF Lady
Clancarty, Lady Orkney, Lady Head

non grata at the English court, though
they bear the names of peers whose
rank is high. All of the quartet are
as talented and clever as any of the
titled ladies who enjoy the Kings IA

which gained for them thar titles. All
four were poor singers and dancers

men and became their wives. But be-

excluded from the privileges which,
by reason of their marriage. they have
reason to believe themselves entitled

It is firm belief Of the eastern
monks Of the Greek church that God
will not allow monastery to be
burned. When the Russian monastery
of St. Pantelemon at Mount Athos was
burned a few years ago the Greeks,
who constitute the great majority OF
the 5000 monks on the peninsula,
maintained that their Russian breth-
rem had brought the calamity on them
selves because they had fire engines
and extinguishers and did not trust
wholly in God. Now the neighboring
Greek monastery at st. Paul, which
had no fire engines, has recently been
utterly destroyed by fire.

speed on Electric Roads.

The German Society for the Study
of Electric Railways has lately exper-
imented upon speed, and in some of its
trials Toe to ZOE miles an hour was ab=
tanned. The air resistance was found
to be equivalent to the force Of wind
with velocity of twelve feet a second.
This is a velocity which has only once
been reached by German storms, names
ly. in the hurricane of February, 1894.
The experimenters are confident that
speed much exceeding 100 miles an
hour can be maintained On electric
railways.

A gentleman staying in a hotel III
Dublin recently was startled by some
thing falling from the chimney on to
the fire. 1t proved to be a pocket
book, the contents of which afforded
certain evidence that they had been in
the chimney nearly a quarter OF cen
fury. The book contained some Wis
iting cards bearing the name Of a
Capt. Lambert, shilling's worth of
penny stamps, receipt for ESQ dated
1879, small calendar for the same
year and a ticket for a circular rail-
way tour with the same date. The
memory Of the hotel does not go back
far enough to explain the mystery, but
there is little doubt that the pocket
book so strangely recovered affords a

One London dealer admitted twelve
years ago, long before fashion was so
pitiless as now. that he sold 100000

Origin of Ox-Tan Soup.

The origin Of many dainty dishes is
lost in obscurity, but an interesting
account is given Of the discovery OF
ox-tail soup. 1t is said to date from
the dark days of the French revolu-
ton, when many Of the nobility were
reduced to terrible straits. Till then
hides had been sent to the tannery
with the tails still attached and subse-
quently the tails were thrown away
A certain nobleman, being in state
of starvation, begged one Of these tails
and with it made soup. Since then the
demand for oX-tail soup has been great
enough to lead to its being sometimes
made without tee tails!

The value of life of comparative

naturally suggests, is fully demon
strated so far as making for longevity
by an analysis of the obituary of the
British peers. baronets and knights

Dec. 6, 1900. and Dec. 5. 1901. Nine
teen members Of the upper house died,
twelve of them being 70 and upward.

ing only two who had died at COM
paratively early age. The number OF
baronets who died was thirty-four.

Hon. 1000 Years Old Found.

A remarkable discovery has been
made in County Mayo, Ireland, where
a wooden boat, believed to be nearly
1000 years old, has been dug up by
some laborers. The boat is beauti-
fully carved from the trunk of an oak
tree. 1t is forty-six feet long and
shows absolutely no signs of decay.
The wood was so hard that hatchets
made scarcely any impression on it.

which will shortly be taken to the

BUFFALO BILL.

Buffalo Bills wild west show was
in Roseburg Saturday, and took like
wild fire. 1t was unlike any show of
the past and its like will never come
again. 1t depicted true as life scenes
in crossing the plains 40 to so
years ago; real Indians in gold time
fighting garb and real soldiers from
many battle fields in home and for
eign lands, came riding along garbed
as in war times. The emigarnt train
and the pony express riders vividly
reminded pioneers of days that were
and the younger generation gained
better impression of the experiences
of their parents and grandparents.
1t is reported that 700 peopele were
at the show at Roseburg, coming
from all directions and all distances
The farming community was almost
depopulated for the day. Quite a
number of Grants Pass peopel, went
to Roseburg to see the show.
The company passd through here
Saturday night in four sections with
an aggregate of 92 cars. At Ashland
they unloaded the horses to feed, con
tinuing their journey southwark in

NEW RAILROAD AGAIN.

Since last week the several COM
mittees in charge of the work of
soliciting funds in the several wards
of the city for the purchase of ter
minal grounds for the the Oregon &
Pacific Railroad, are meeting with
great success, and the entire amount
is now in sight The liberal and
prompt response of our citizens in this
matter is proof positive of their in
terest in the new railroad and its
completion, as far as the people of
Grants Pass are concerned, is an
assured fact. a crew of surveyors
have been at work for some time. The
preliminary survey has been com
pleted and the final survey and the
marking of stakes setting out the
actual route of the line has been com.
pleted as far as Grants Pass to Waldo
The news that a new railroad is to
pass through has awoke the old town
of Waldo to an activity, the like of
which it has not known since the
palmy days of 30 years ago. At the
mines Of the Waldo Smelling aud
Mining company new town has
sprung up which has been called TAX
lima, in honor of an extinct tribe Of
Indians that scalped one another in
that district nearly 100 years ago.
Takilma has already made application
to become postofiice and has sew
eral stores and many residences. The
Waldo Smelling and Mining company
have many men at work continuing
the development of their properties
and putting them in trim for the be-
ginning of business. There is a
score of other copper mines in the
district, owned by numerous com
panies, all of whom are opening up
their properties and getting ready
for the new railroad The Waldo
Smelling and Mining company are
preparing to put in new and larger
smelter at their mines, the present
one being inadequate for the accom-
modation of the amount Of ore they
will handle in the future. At Cres-
cent City the people are equally en-
Unused over the new line. They have
always been secluded from the outside
world and the railroad will give them
an opportunity to get out once in a
while and rub off the moss, as we'll as
an outlet for the product of their
mines and farms. There is but
little doubt but that the new line will
soon connect with the other lines
alredy existing in Northern California
and become part of new route to
San Francisco, and ultimately will
connect with a through route east
from Boise.
