OF course, the idea of getting these
poor creatures to come to the Sunday

with the aim of reforming them. The
meals, which are followed by religious
songs and gospel reading, are not in

LONDON, Oct. 10. = In spite of de-
malls in certain quarters, it can be
stated as fact thai. English society is
at present facing the prospect OF, some
of it's leading members being placed on
a court "bIack list" for neglecting TO
pay their tailors', dressmakers, gro
GERS and doctors bills.
A firm of solicitors whose profession
al standing and integrity are beyond
question, has taken the matter in hand
for a number of clients with the view
of placing it before the Lord Chamber
lain, so that the defaulters may no
longer enjoy the hospitality Of the
English court. A member. of taea firm,
whose offices are in Finebury square,
in the heart of the city, in discussing
the situation with the writer, said:
at is no uncomon thing for some of
the West end firms to write off as bad
debts as much as $4,000 a year
through aristrocratic defaulters. A
marchioness. occupying a leading posi-

The Breakfasts, Which Are Followed by Religious Service

EDINBURGH, Sept. 19.-Here Is an
uncommonly striking photograph which
has just been taken, showing the rather
pathetic array of guests" at one of the
queer breakfasts for drunkards only"
which are given in Edinburgh. every
Sunday morning. These breakfasts

The breakfast served consists of a

LONDON, Oct. 1O.-WhiIe a few op-

that the distress caused by lack of raw

conditions indicate that the effect of

In the cotton business on this side say
that even the terrible depression caus-
ed by the American Civil war, when
England depended for practically her
whole cotton supply upon the few ships
able to get past the blockades of the
Union fleet, was nothing compared to
the present sufferings
AS 80 per cent of the worlds cotton
supply comes from the United States,
the effect of the big corner was felt in
England almost Immediately after its

from II cents a pound to 10 and the
mills soon ran only enough looms to

small town where deposits from one
penny up were received had charge of
more than $650,OOO belonging to the
mill operatives, but constant withdraw
ais have shrunk this sum almost to the
vanishing point.
In ordinary times when the usual

cashire weaver. capable of handling
four looms, earns about $5.25 week.
Since the cotton supply from the Unit

AS no public relief fund exists, it
has fallen to the unions to which most
of the opera tives belong to do what
they can toward alternating some of the

many stories of pitiful discoveries. In

strictly a fashionable" dog, her
majesty clings to her love for the
Great Dane and has him in her pos
session to the number of half dozen.
Her majesty's recent photograph, here
with published, shows her with the
dog she has most frequently with her.
1t is beautiful little Pekinese spaniel,
graceful, fluffy creature, more like
a ball of fiossy silk than anything SO
determined as a dog. Black "pugS" are
among the CANNES often in attendance,
on her majesty, who is said to like
them because they have such nice
table manners and are rarely greedy
certain blue Whippet, the cleverest
of greyhounds in miniature, is also
beloved of the queen.
1t is, however, as bulldog expert
that her majesty has most recently
come before the public. She appeared
this season for the first time as an
exhibitor at the twenty-ninth show of
the Bulldog club. Her majesty's re-
nowned dogs, Sandringham Paul and
Sandringham Pansy, looking as upr,
like either q Paul or Pansy as possible,
took all the prizes in sight. Their
skulls We're the biggest and squarest,
their jaw grip firmest, their ugly noses
most firmly turned up and blunted.
Paul is the son of Peter" the
kings favorite dog at Sandringham.. :
Visiting Her Pets.
OF the dozens of dogs the queen
owns, most reside at Sandringham.
Kennels quite elaborate enough for the
housing of men and women occupy a
fine spot on the Sandringham estate
not far from the house itself A score
of servants do nothing but attend to
the queens kennels. The santa ton of
the dog houses is perfect. Her majesty
visits them JVhi1p in rnCfdnnna OF nd
bingham with clock-like regularity ey-
cry morning after breakfast. She will
have no regal preparations made for her
visits (such as carpets on the kennel
steps, or any care taken which re1
duces the feeling of professionalism
with which the queen endeavors to
breed dogs
Clad in sort skirt, high boots, plain
"turban" hat and a black veil, the
queen of England visits her puppies
with the simplicity of greatness. Her
view of the kennels is frequently fol-
lowed by walk through Sandringham
park, when a dog is nearly always
selected to make the tour with his
royal mistress. Her majesty often in
dulges in a veritable romp with Paul
or Pansy, but this only when she gets
them into the secluded confines Of
Sandringham'S remotest lawns.
It is said that on the average half
the queens dogs are presented to her
The other half she buys and the alb,
tendant cost of keeping up the kennels
is estimated at not less than $4,000 a
year. q
Where Departed Pets Lie
Having seen how the queen gets her
dogs and where she keeps them, one
thing remains to be told Where does
she bury them? Not in the plebeian
dog cemetery adjacent to Hyde Park
frequented only by such common folks
as dukes and duchesses, lords and
ladies, but in a royal burying ground
Of their own within the grounds of
Marlborough house, in Pail Mall In
scriptions such as these are numerous

England owns more dogs than any
woman in the realm, and out of the
fifty she recognizes as friends half
dozen are intimates. So in this coun-i
try, where people buy dog biscuit, not
by the box or by the dozen, but by
the ten ton CD, Queen Alexandra is
manifestly one of the best patrons of
the purveyors of this delicacy. To
every 1000 persons in England there
are thirty weight dogs, but in this re-
spect her majesty has a truly royal ad
vantage over the average inhabitant.
The Duchess of Newcastle and Her
Grace of Bedford follow the queen
close as seconds, but even. these cele-
brated dog fanciers do not approach, In
numbers the collection of CANNES own
ed by the queen of England.
Now, although the king leases the
queen about her numerous pets, he is
really as fond and as proud of them
as she is, and 1T is largely owing to a
suddenly developed affection on Ed
ward Wis part for the dog at whose
purchase he exclaimed that the same
dog, "Scottie" by name, was not sent

tended. She and the king came upon
"Scottie,' a wiry iron-gray terrier,
when yachting off the west coast of
Scotland. The queens answer to the
kings question was: Il think I shall
give it to Minnie Minnie" being no
less a person than her imperial mai
esty the dowager empress of Russia.
But in spite of his banter, King Ed
ward grew to like ''Scottie" as well as
the queen did and does. So Minnie"
never got the dog. The dowager en-
press shares Queen Alexandra's love
for animals, as do most of the royal
ladies of Europe, the future queen of
England, now Princess of Wales, being
one of the exceptions.

Sible any contributions from the spin

ed this corner, the supply is still so
uncertain that many of the mills pre-
fer to shut down for a while rather
than spin at uncertain intervals
81 So far nearly $4,000 has been dis
tributed by the relief committee. Prom
sinent residents in the district have
contributed money for food, and at the
soup kitchens which have been estab
lished in many places long lines of
hungry idlers wait to receive quart
of soup with half loaf of bread. An
/ other committee has distributed over
1000 25-cent meal tickets.
! This work will so on as long as the
funds hold out. but of course it is only
temporary relief, and neither redeems
the furniture which long ago went to
the pawn shop nor makes provision for
: the cold weather which is not far off.
Not the least important result of the
present stagnation is the loss to the
5EancaShire district of the weayers and
spinners themselves. Since last April
large numbers of the operatives have
given up their homes to emigrate to
america, where they hope to find work
in the mills. Should these pioneers be
successful, there is no telling how
many more viii follow their example.
All the operators agree that their
only protection from the repetitions of
the present situation lies in empire
egrown cotton. Several years ago the
British Cotton Growing association
was formed to experiment with the
plant on British soil and the first crop
now exhibited is pronounced by ex-
perts to be excellent in quality West
