London Special Gable to New Orleans
 Times Democrat
 London is amazed and shocked by the matrimonial revelations of Lady Gran Vile Gordon, in case which she brought before the courts In order to obtain the custody of her child. The revelations are such that even before the case is settled notification has appeared in The Ohcial Gazette that her presentation at the royal court s cancelled. This means that she may not appear at any drawing room or other social function given by the Queen. It is regarded in the fash loneole world as social ostraaism

 New Orleans Times Democrat
 If what Robert Thomas of Atlanta, Ga. predicts comes true, 1t will not be long before the paper trust of the United States will have a serious competitor MT. Thomas came to New Orleans direct from Orange Texas. where, he says, he mas recently constructed and turned over 10 its owners one of the most complete paper mills of the South. He put in the mill for the Orange Paper Company.
 Tt is in perfect running order" he said to Times Democrat reporter in this office last night.

PARKER SHOWS WISDOM
He Refuses to Make Political Adj
dresses While Holding a
Judicial Position.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Judge Alton e.
Parker of New York, who is attracting
attention all over the country as a demo-
cratic presidential possibility, has written
letter to Representative Moon of Ten
nessee giving his reasons for refusing to
accept the many invitations extended him
to deliver addresses of a political charac-
ter.
During the past few weeks Judge Parker
has been invited by several legislatures
in the southern states, democratic and
commercial clubs to speak before them.
In the south especially where the mention
of his name as the democratic nominee for
the presidency is regarded with much
favor, there is a desire to see and hear
the man who is by many considered the
coming democratic Moses.
In this letter Judge Parker declines an
Invitation to address the democrats OF
chattanooga. In view of the judicial pos
ition which he holds Judge Parker says,
it would be indicate and improper for
him to appear before the public and adj
vance his own interests. Those democrats
in congress who heard of Judge Parkers
letter applauded heartily the decision.
So far the only invitation that he has
accepted is one TO address the bar asso-
citation of Georgia. This meeting. how
ever, is not of a political character.

AN IRISH LAND MEASURE
George Wyndham Hard at Work on
a Bill Based on the Recent
Conference.
Ncw York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, Feb, Observation-Disclosures has
been working silently and the secrets Of
the Irish land legislation have not been
disclosed Premature reports that the bill
will not be based upon the conclusions OF
the recent conference of landlords and ten
ants, and that there will be neither the
compulsory clause nor advances from the
British treasury, are not credited by well
informed politicians.
One of the most influential Irish land
lords who has strongly supported the land
conference and helped to bring it about
says that the land owners have not been
consulted respecting the text of the meas
ure and are awaiting official explanations
with the confident feeling that settle
ment is in sight. The leaders of the
nationalistst have not seen the text but
are talking good naturally about an era
of good feeling.
Wyndham's friends assert that he could
not convert the land conference report
into a. legislative bill. but that he has
embodied in the measure the principles
upon which the representatives of the
landlords and the tenants reached an
agreement. and has adapted the proposals
to the requirements Of previous statutes
1t cannot be doubted that he has made
o more eShausleye study of the land ques-
ton than. any previous secretary for Ire
land and that he expects to work out a
satisfactory settlement.
