Twins Are Maids of Honor.

Two of the most interesting person.
alities about the English court are
twin sisters, the Misses Doris and Nio-
let Vivian. who are maids of honor to
the queen. The twins are the daugh-
ters of the late Lord Vivian, who was a
leading diplomat for many years, and
the sisters of the present peer, who
has come home invalided from the
front, They are both handsome girls
which is not surprising, as both their
parents were handsome. They have
not as yet had much to do, for Queen
Alexandra has not needed their serv,
ices, but when the period of courts be
gins they will be in constant requisi
tion. Their presence will add a goot
deal of charm to the court circle

Dear Sir: You know a good paint

Of lead and oil the second Summer it

A novel yet vigorous war against
the docking of horses tails has been
begun in Baltimore by the Maryland
Society for the Protection of AMI
mails, and the methods used to edu-
cate the people regarding the enorm-
ity of the offense has aroused the ire
of every 'chappy" who considers
himself whip.
On sunny afternoons, when the
shopping district is crowded with
women, an agent of the society leads
a sorrel horse up and down the
streets, and lest it shall fail to be re-
marked that the animal has been
shorn of his tail, a blanket is
strapped about him, on which is

italy. 1t was refused, but Mahmud
proceeded to Paris, where he remains
in safety. All the sultan's blandish-
ments failed to induce him to return
TO Constantinople, so the criminal
court was instructed to issue war
rant for Mahmud's arrest and to try
the fugitive by default with the re-
suit that he was condemned to death.
A dispatch from Constantinople
dated December IS, 1899, announced
that the flight of the sultan's broth
er-in-law, Damad Mahmud Pasha,
during the previous week, with his
wife's jewels and all the money he
could collect, had caused a great sem
sation there. He was accompanied by
his two sons, Princes Sabaggedit and
LuthfaIla.
It was ascertained that Mahmud
sailed for Marseilles on a steamer, and
the Turkish government telegraphed
to the French minister of foreign af-
fairs, VI. DeIcasse, asking for the ar
rest of the fugitive on his arrival at
Marseilles and his return to Constanti-
Hbplc o1 the Niidi &c tildL ht was III
plicated in a plot to assassinate the
sultan. This accusation, however, was
generally discredited, and it was be-
lieved the refugee was the victim of
an intrigue.
A later dispatch from Constantine
pie said that Mahmud, who intended
TO stay in Paris for a time, declared
that the charge he had appropriated
money and accepted brides was call
umny, and that he was being perse-
euted by political intriguers. Mahmud
announced that he intended to go to
London, and that when he preached that
city he would publish an open letter,
exposing the methods and policies of
Sultan Abdul Hamid, and also a
brochure entitled Turkeys Coming
Downfall"
Mahmud is about so years of age.
| The sultan. after Mahmud's fight. de-
creed the divorce of his sister, Seniha
| Sultana. in consequence of her hus-
| bands desertion.
Mahmud secured 100000 Just before
his departure, but his principal estates
were confscated and he and his sons
were officially proclaimed renegades
and outlaws
