BneIish poHdetaaa since The news came
OF the ex-RoagA i,.aer< wonderful es

More tnan ever ISng!.sfanen are look
Ing upon Roosevelt IS q. nan OF destiny.
Everywhere ono hears them recounting
the signs TO this effect which the last
three years iave brought forth how he
was made Nice-l'resioent by his enc
mics as the only means CT keeping him
out OF the presidential chair; how with
in a few months an assassins bullet left
that chair vacant, thus completely fIus-
trating intentions that otherwise prob
ably would have prevailed, and how now.
after winning the confidence OF the whole
country, his HE is saved as though by a
mira Gle.
There is also much amazcment e1-
pressed that the Presidents frame go
perfectly wlthstood the shock OF such a
terrific tumble. Any other man OF deg
tiny would have suffered q broken leg,
or at least Commissions that would have
kept him in bed for month. The ac-
copied explanation is that Roosevelt is a
first-class all-round athlete. with a con-
stltution that is perfect.
These elements go to make up a per-
gonanty calculated to command the ad-
InIrarou Of all EngHs!llnen. and If one
were rash enough to wager even money
that Roosevelt would not live TO be
elected to the on1os that came to him
through the dsath OF bis predecessor,
every betting in England would
reach for his -check-boois.
Even the King has. 1t is said ex-
pressed sentiments similar to the fore
gong. In common with most OF his sub
5ects, his Majesty dearly loves exhibit
lions of physical prowcss, and in coming
out victor after a catch-as-catch-c
combat with a trolley car, President
Roosevelt hos Established a record which
no other athlete will attempt to break.
Sherlock Holmes Mystery.
Two sensations Of very different kinds
connected with well-known peeresses are
among the aftermath OF the Coronation.
One Ia q mystery Of the Sherlock Holmes
order. Private detectives and officers
from Scotland Yard are busy trying TO
discover what has become OF Vaiuaoie
bracelet belonging TO the Duchess of
a.uccleuch, which mysteriously disap-
pearcd during the differentiation OF the
Queen IN Westminster Abbey.
The value OF the bracelet is enhanced
nv the fact that It was presented to the
puchess by the late Queen Victoria while
Her Grace was mistress OF the robes. 1t
&c a, plain gold circlet with an oval me-
dalton containing n miniature OF the
late Queen set in pearls and diamonds,
with an inscription setting forth the
circumstances under which the presenta-
ton was made.
The police believe that either the miss
xnr souvenir still lies embedded in
coronation robe now packed away or that
81 has been found ba n dishonest maid
and retained
The latter hypothesis receives curious
confirmation from a visit paid by Young
woman to one of the agents engaged in
the case She said she thought she
could recover the bracelet. and, IL so
would bring it the same night. The wo
man was shadowed on her departure and
followed TO the residence of a lady of
rank well known in society. AS she fail
ed to keep her appointment, inquiries
we're made, when IL transpired that the
person who visited the agent is unknown
at the house she was seen to enter
The police infer that the woman was
acting on behalf Of one of the servants,
and are following up the slender clue,
The Duchess is naturally Very anxious
TO recover this souvenir OF the great
Queen and has offered a handsome re-
