TIE news that the queen regent of
Spain has allied herself with her master
Of horse has been variously comment
ed upon in this country and not al
ways in a manner complimentary to
the queen. Now 1t should be known
that master Of horse is not coach
man nor an officer of equine toilets,
but an important and titled individual
who has nothing to do with horses
and doubtless rides in an automobile.
So there is nothing unfit in the queen
taking unto herself a master of horse,
and those whose hearts have gone out
to her in her efforts to make decent
king out of her eccentric son who has
more than eccentric blood in his veins,
will be glad to know that she has a
master of horse in the family in case
of emergency.
A recent case of typhoid fever in
Chicago shows how careful one should
be in trying new things. A laborer
who rose hastily one morning and
washed his face without taking the
precaution of boiling the water,
splashed a few drops of the water into
his mouth and was taken ill as a con-
sequence. If he had been accustomed
to water nothing would have resulted
but severe cold, but the unusual dose,
or some wandering germ did the bus
mess for him and now he Is very near
death. He has promised himself that
if he RECEIVERS he will never touch wa
ter In Its raw state again, and with
out something in it to kill the festive
germ. The physicians were quite
little puzzled over his case and the
matter was only explained when a
morning paper told of a certain relig-
1ous sect which had during the week
assembled on the banks of the Chicago,
and cast their sins into the river. The
doctors do not express much hope for
the man.
Gen. Booth, of Darkest England, has
arrived in this country on one of the
first class steamers and what he saw
on board has stirred him up consid-
erably. He thinks the condition Of the
Steerage passengers and the contrast
between them and the first cabin pas
sengers something deplorable and a
disgrace to civilization. To see those
first class passengers seated at the
luxurious tables eating food they did
not want, was, in his opinion har-
rowing sight for those below, and
something should be done about it.
Just what, the general does not say.
Strange to relate the general made
these remarks while occupying $500
capln on Inc nrSt deck, surrounded
by the most enerYating luxury of every
description. He further said that he
considered that ship where the con-
ditions were like those upon which he
crossed, did more to make criminals
than anything else he knew of. The
general placed himself beyond tempta-
ton by remaining on the first deck and
should be commended for his sagac--
ity.
1t is pleasant to learn from the pub
lie prints that Mr.. Reginald Wander
bilt has at last passed an examina-
ton at Yale which will entitle him to
a diploma, and to the degree of bach
elor of arts. Some time ago Reggie
tried but failed to obtain his degree,
but at the solicitation of his fiance he
has made another effort and passed in
elementary law. AS 1t is not likely he
will need anything more than the ele-
ments Of law in his career, the young
woman who is to be Mrs. Reggie in
sisted on the elements-the word was
passed along at Yale that bachelor
of something must Reggie be. So after
having passed UP law, Reggie has now
