NEW DUcAL MANSION.
Duchess of MarIborough's New Home
Fills Block

London, Oct 1.-THE Duchess OF MARI
borough is taking quite an active interest
in her new home in Curzon street. which
is rapidly approaching completion. The
other day she alighted from her broug-
ham and went into the building. The
mansion is a giant block Of white stone.
Though only four stories high. it rises
above the surrounding buildings. making
Wharncliff House, standing back in a
pretty garden. opposite, look very quaint
and unpretentious.
The face of the building looks more
French than Englis-., with sculptured
heads on the keystones over the doors
and windows. There is no lawn, the
building occupying the whole of the lit
tie block bounded by Curzon. East Cha
pei, West Chapel and Market streets.
The entrance is in Curzon street, Of
course, but on the extreme end, near
East Chapel street the ducal mansion
has a suggestion Of the central portion
of Stafford House in the moulding that
runs round underneath the top floor and
the small size OF the windows just above
it, But the pillars that give such a COM
manding look to the front of Stafford
House are, IN the case of the Curzon
street building. half swallowed up in the
front wall Of the house itself. This gives

AMERICANS GET GAY.
Parade Streets of Athens Dressed as
Ancient Greeks.

London. Oct. T.-Quite a sensation has
been created In Athens. according to a
dispatch in a London paper. by the ap-
pearance of an American family parading
the streets in ancient Greek dress. Their
object is to try to convince the Athenians
that the ancient costume is both healthier
and more becoming than the modern.
SO far the three Americans. two of
whom are women. have provoked nothing
more than the amused curiosity of the
Greeks, who regard their sandals. cloaks
and tunios as an entertaining freak
Ppon this the Daily Chronicle has quite
a long editorial. 1t asks why the appear
ance OF these Americans in classic dress

Paris. Oct. 17--Gen. Andre. French
Minister OF War. is not afraid to speak
his mind upon occasion. A dramatic lit
tie incident occurred during his recent
visit to ST. Emillon, where he opened
some new municipal buildings. AT the
official reception, after the authorities had
been presented. NJ. Lablegnie. the presi-
dent of the Libourne Socialist group. de-
livered an address. in the course OF which
he spoke of the wishes and claims OF ths
Socialists. and expressed desire for the
relaxation of the severity of the military
code. Gen. Andre, in reply. said that the
government would make every effort 10
comply with that wish. and pointed out
that a two-years service system had al
ready been adopted. A bill for reforming
the military code would he said. soon be
introduced But" he continued. do you
know the song called -Internationale.
and particularly the couplet which says
that the bullets are for the generals?
Well, l tell you that do not agree with
any such sentiment, and when the In
ternationale is played 1 shall GO NJ.
Lablegnie attempted to sreak. but Gen.
Andre interrupted him, saying. NO dis
cussion on this point. 1 do not partake
of your views sufficiently 10 be able to
permit you 20 contest my statement.
The reception concluded without further
incident At a subsequent entertainment
