WASHINGTON. September a IsOI


The lightning in the Post Office
Department investigation is beginn-
ing TO strike about in places close
to the throne. Beavers, who has
given himself up voluntarily after
the police seemed to be unable to
get him, has Postmaster General
Payne subpoenaed to appear as a
witness in his case. and the p. NJ.
G.. promptly repudiates the sub
poena and refuses TO appear. He
says he is sick, and must perforce
spend a few weeks down at Virginia
Hot Springs to recuperate his health.
He probably knows too much of the
doings Of his private secretary, Mr..
II. II. Rand, in connection with Bea-
vers and Machen s industry in the
grating game in the Post Office De-
partment, and does not desire to be
questioned under oath. In fact, he
is doing all in his power TO stop the
publicity details of the Post Office
Department scandal, and now he
gives it out that the end is in sight
and that there will be nothing more
doing after the first Of October. He
knows full well that there are too
many members of Congress, repub-
lican leaders, mixed up in the mat
ter who must protect the looters,
and some of them too much dread an
investigation to allow the matter to
proceed further. Such o competent
machine politician as the p. NJ. G..
knows that the republican party
cannot receive any more such hard
knocks as it has received by even a
small part of the scandal thus ex-
posed to public view, and survive
the treatment. Now the republican
party leaders are praying that some
thing will turn up to distract the
minds of the public from this nasty
mess. See how the Beirut incident
was seized upon to take the minds of
the people from the scandals crop
ping out in the administration of the
affair OF government. The Panama
Canal affair is also being used to get
the minds Of people from the rotten
ness ofthe departments as admins
tered by the republican party, but all
in vain. Those little incidents are
but the wonder OF an hour, and minds
of the people wander back TO their
NUT ons. the scandals in the depart
ments at Washington. Like Ban
quo's ghost, they will not down,
but return with perplexing persis-
tency to plague an administration
that is rotten to the core. The PEG
pie have o specific for this cancer on |
the body polite il they will go to the |
polls and administer il. it is up to |
them.
The trusts are still in the saddle.
The anthracite coal trust is advanc-
ing the price of coal again, though |
it is reported to have mined and |
stored some millions of tons more
than can be sold this year, and vet
this trust has such monopoly that
i can put up prices as it pleases.
The meat trust also files notice that
it intends to raise the price of it's
products to level more in accord
with the times and permissive of the
OF larger profits. Con-
gress, last winter, when the coal
trust was live issue, appropriated
. special fund OF $500, 900 for the
Department of Justice TO use to pro-
secute trusts.

LEO'S FAVORITE NIECE
is WIFE OF AMERICAN
Though His Name Is Plain Middleton He
Possesses Italian Title.

The favorite niece of the late Pope Leo
XIII. is the wife of an American named
Middleton, a resident of Rome and who
has for years been in close personal con-
tact with the great pontiff
1t is claimed that Pope Leo's always
especially active interest in American af-
fairs and the American people was in
large part due to the influence Of THIS
able American, for whom ne had no little
admiration
Middleton is the present head of the
FAMILY and q descendant of Arthur Mid
dleton, a signer of the Declaratio of
independence. He possesses the Italian til
tie of Count Of Bentivoglio, secured from
his mother, who was an Italian noble
woman. His full name is Henry Bent
Voglio Van Ness Middleton.
In 1859 Middleton married the beautiful
Beatrice, Countess Cini, of Rome, mem
Der of one Of the oldest and proudest
families in Rome and a daughter of ne
most aristocratic circles in Rome and is
highly respected. everywhere.
The Middletons came originally from
Stockwell. England, and settled in South
Carolina. They are among the few Ameri-
can families represented in Burke's Peer
age.
Henry Middleton was president Of the
Continental congress The father of fhe
Count of Bentyoglio was charge d affaires
of the United States at Madrid
He married the second time at Rome,
Paulina, Countess of Bentvoglio, daugh-
ter of General Count Bentiyoglio, at one
time governor of the castle of San An
gelo.
Arthur Middleton died at Naples June
T. 1858, and was succeeded by his only
son, the present head of the Middleton
family, who received his early education
at the South Carolina military academy at
Charleston. S. c., and in Paris.
1t was upon his return to Rome at the
close of the Civil war that Mr. Middleton
met and married the pope's niece, Bea-
trice, Countess Cini THERE'S was a love
match at first sight. The countess met her
future husband while Mr.. Middleton was
attached to the pope's household.
The issue of this union is as follows:

Gated in Rome, at present an officer in the
Italian navy; Constanza married in 1896

person when it comes to the kings en-
tertafning, as he was in the reign of
Queen Victoria. No servant of his
majesty may approach the presence
without first approaching Lord Edward.
All details, when the king feels in
! clined to reduce his wishes to detail,
are submitted to Lord Edward who in
turn places them in the hands of lesser
authority. Lord Edward Pelham Clin-
ton is said to be the most obIiging
person in the royal households. He is
an anliable gentleman-tall and gray
mustached-Who never refuses to see
anybody.
Sir Dighton Probyn, who lives at
Buckingham palace, and who has an
apartment in the Norman tower,
| Windsor, and a house at Sandringham,
stands between the king and his bank
book. 1t is his duty to let his majesty
| know when funds are running low.
The consequence is he knows more
nearly than anyone else the exact
! amount the king spends on dinner par
| ties, fuhcheons and the amount spent
| on necessary presents for ariStocratic
brides and bridegroon1s.
When. thes queen doesn't wish to
| trouble the Hon. Charlotte Knollys,
her private, secretary, to write her in
vitation notes for her. she lays the duty
upon the Hon. SyGney GreY1lle. Mr..
| Greyille. is technically her majesty
| secretary, but he also has innumerab Bile
| other social duties imposed upon him
| by the queen. He plays cards with her,
for instance. and makes fourth hand
often in a game in which the king, the
queen and PRINCESS Victoria partici-
pate. Mr.. Grevifle is Lady Eva Dug
dales brother and is, therefore, also
related to Lady, Warwick.
