the nature Of the boys. They were as
troublesome, noisy and mischievous,
she said, as the ordinary variety of
small boy. The keen observer how
ever, can detect a difference in the
boys department when they are at
play. Instead Of having games like
tag" ball and tops among themselves,
they dance very gracefully and assume
poses and bow to each other in a most
courtly style.
One little haired girl named
Rosie Campbell, aged thirteen, told the
writer she had been on the stage for
five years, during which period she had
acted with Mrs. Patrick Campbell,
Forbes Robertson, Seymour Hicks and

"Scrooge," at Sandringham, and was
introduced to Queen Alexandra, who
shook hands with her and gave her a
basket of fruit. Another little girl
named Winnie Hall, who has played
leading children's parts, such as the
Dormouse in Alice in Wonderland"
astonished me by observing that she
had met the late Queen Victoria five
years ago.
Nearly all the children at the Vaude-
vile theater have been continuously
employed at salaries ranging from $3.50
to SIS weekly, for the last four years,
and most of the girls wear little lockets,
containing small pieces of cake, which
formed part of the cake Queen Alex
andra gave them personally, when they
played in Equality Street" at Windsor
castle, by royal command. The boys,
however, possess no such mementoes,
and on being questioned, one sturdy lad
named Albert Valchera, who earns
$3.50 weekly, although he is not yet
thirteen, said: THAT cake was toe
good to stick in a locket. We ate all
ours quick, I can tell you"
Curiously enough, the boys when
they grow up, seldom stick to the stage,
but go into business. The girls, how
ever, rarely quit the footlights, and
often become famous actresses. Ellen

Duchess Of Marlborough is grievously
disappointed over the turn that things
have taken.
At Mr. Gillett's radium parties now
being held in London some Of the
smartest American society women can
be seen together. These novel and chic
functions are extremely exclusive, Mr..
Gillett limiting his parties to $50
guests, and no pleading on the part OF
his dearest friend would urge him to-
overstep his number. Almost half Of
the guests are well known society Wom-
en- from the United States, and IT is
commented that it Is the American
women who are keenly interested and
who ask the most intelligent questions
of the professors there to explain the
powers and wonders OF radium.
Mr.. Gillett's parties are always In
teresting events in London, for they
are held at the Bachelors club, one Of
the most swagger clubs in London and
of which Mr. GiIlett is chairman. Ono
door Of this club opens on to Piccadilly,
but the ladies' entrance is a little way
up Hamilton place. The club rooms OF
the members are so sacred that they
are never seen by the eyes Of feminine
visitors and when ladies, by some very
special invitation, are allowed to enter
the club house OF these bachelor men,
they not only enter by this special door,
but ascend to rooms above by special
lift, or the special staircase and ara
entertained in special dining and draw
ing rooms quite distant from those into
which even men guests may penetrate.
Among the many interesting Ameri-
cans invited to these radium parties
are Mrs. Howard Cockerell, the sister OF
Lady Abinger, daughter of the cele-
brated Commander Magruder, OF the
United States navy, and the niece of
Gen. J. y. Magruder, late commander
of the Confederate forces I'm Texas; =
Mrs. Lorillard and Miss Van Wart, who
is so well known in American society.
1t Is said Of Miss Van Wart that she
has refused half the British aristoc-
racy. This society favorite has now
taken house in CurZon street, not far
from the mansion newly erected for the
Duke and Duchess OF Marlborough, and
which is now fast becoming an Ameri-
can colony.
Although members of the exclusive
Bachelors club do not cease to be
bachelors with a big 3 when they
marry, they have to pay a penalty of
one dozen bottles of champagne for
their fellow members to drink their
health with each backslider, feeling
that he is in the eyes Of the club con-
sidered a poor creature. The chairman,
of course, is always a bachelor in every
sense. Mr.. Gillett being perhaps one OF

LONDON, Feb. 13.-There are sever
al reasons why the marriage Of Lady
Marjorie GreviIle to. Lord Helmsley at
Warwick the other day deserved more
attention than was devoted to it in the
telegraphic dispatches. BY common
consent, the affair was one of the most
brilliant, both on account Of its
gorgeous setting and the high rank of
the folk present, that have taken place
In this country in recent years, per-
haps the most brilliant since the fam
Gus wedding of the Earl of Rosebery
to Miss de Rothschild. But what made
last Tuesdays marriage even more no
table was the fact that the bride was
the only daughter Of the noblewoman
who, in her prime, was called the
greatest beauty in England. Partly
because of her social activities, but
more on account of the many original
enterprises which she has started-in-
Guiding her shop in Bond street and
her training farm for girls-the Count
ess Of Warwick has been in evidence
pretty constantly ever since the time
Of the famous baccarat scandal, when
this fascinating chum of King Ed
wards, on account of supposed con-
versational indiscretions, was named
the "babbling Brooke"
Hence, unusual interest was taken in
the occasional account of the decidedly
common sense" training which Lady
Warwick prescribed for her pretty
daughter Instead of being sent to a
severely exclusive establishment for
young ladies'" this daughter of one of
the greatest families in Great Britain
went to the high school in Warwick
for three terms, where, at recess, she
played with the other girls, and did
not forget. that she knew them outside
of school hours, either. She was FIN
tshed" at Paris and Rome, 1t is true,
but when she came back to Warwick
castle again she had to learn to make
bread, to milk cows and to churn and
generally get to be q good housewife.
She learned how to preside over
things, too, and several times, when the
countess hasn't been able to open one
of the baZaars, or to do some other Of
the charitable stunts for which her
services constantly are being sought,
her place has been taken by Lady Mar
Jorie with much success. This young
lady, whom the king of England calls
"Queenie," came out last season, so

LONDON, Feb. 13.-Special interest
attaches to the accompanying photo

the first to run in this coun-
try. 1t VIII be used by the Lanca-
shire & Yorkshire railway for a new
service between Liverpool and South
port, and British experts are waiting
the result OF the experiment with in
tense interest, as the success probably
would be the signal for definite
adoption of electricity as a motive

United Kingdom.
The twenty three miles of track
which have been selected for the first
experiment are now nearly finished.
All the cables have been laid and the
live or third" rail, which closely re-
sembles those used on the American
elevated lines, is in position. The pow

also well under way, the management
expecting to have them finished by the

railway coaches, are planned on the
American pattern. The vestibules will

WILL TAKE POISON
Students at Ann Arbor to Join
in Certain Tests.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Feb. 13.-Up-
per classmen of the Alpha Sigma fra
ternity at the University of Michigan
have decided to drink an unknown
poison until its effects on the human
system are known to science. The
Alpha Sigma is homeopathic frater-
nifty affiliated with the New York fra
ternity now drinking the venom of the
cobra
DR.. A. e. Ibershoff. head of the Mich
igan fraternity, will keep the name of
the poison a secret till the test is COM
plete. 1t will be a hitherto untried
poison and not snake venom. Be-
ginning with a very small draught
taken once every two hours, the potion
will be increased every week till the
men can stand q quantity of poison
which might be fatal at first. This
will continue for several months until
the men begin to have a slight Illness
with poison symptoms. Individual re-
ports on symptoms are to be made and
will be sent to New York for classical
ton.
A searching threefold examination of
physical, mental and moral character
will be given each patient before his
experiment begins. Not only his bodi-
ly ailments but his mental eccentrici-
ties will be recorded. The treatment
will begin in February, and in three
months a second threefold examination
will complete the test of one drug. If
no serious results are felt the Michigan
boys expect them to try snake poison.
OF the sixteen members of the frater-
nifty only half have the courage to try
the poison. Freshmen are excluded.

It is only after a few months expert
ence of society that she has found a
husband in the Earl Of Feversham's
grandson. The young couple, how
ever, were friends as boy and girl, SO
there really was no reason for long
engagement.
An additional picturesqueness was
given to their wedding by the fact that
1t took place amid historic surround
ings, for the old church In which the
knot was tied is mentioned in Domes-
day Book, while the great hall at
classic old Warwick castle is the same
In which, hundreds of years ago, War
wick the "king-maker" and last of the
barons, held revelry. But perhaps the
most striking thing of all about this
marriage was the way 1t brought out
the old feudal spirit which remains
today, practically undiminished, in so
many parts of rural England. Through
out Lord WarWicks vast estate, the
earl, the countess and their children
still are "the family to every humble
tiller of the soil, and the marriage of
"the young lady" was almost as per-
sonal an event to the peers retainers
as if Lady, Marjorie had been a daugh-
ter Of their own. On the wedding day
the public school at Warwick closed.
The villagers saw to 1t, also, that a
the castle and the church, and when the
pretty young bride drove under 1t in an
open carriage behind a pair of white
ponies, the crowd of rustics cheered
and crowded up so that the local police
had hard work to keep the road clear.
They sent humble presents, too, to lie
beside the gold and jewels bestowed by
the greater folk, one old "gran'ther"
even forwarding a lusty cheese, with
his best respects"
Celebrities were thick at the we'd
ding. Besides William Waldorf Astor,
there was Prince Francis of Teck, the
young scion of the royal blood who re-
Gently wanted to go into the stock

Three Of the ushers were men of title
Lords Brooke, Ingestre, Algernon Len

the hit of the wedding was made by the
bridesmaids. There were no less than
fourteen of them-an unusually large
| number in this country at least-and
they wore striking costumes of soft
white satin, with large, red velvet stoles
over bodices of swathed satin finished

to refuse to send in an account under
the conditions laid down by King Ed
ward. Kubelik, when he appeared be-
fore his majesty neglected to send In
an account, and King Edward, feeling
that, being foreigner. he did not know
the court rules, paid his services by
sending him a valuable diamond ring
with an inscription.
In spite Of statements to the con-
trary, the Scotch people are taking
very kindly to the new Duchess of
Roxburghe. Reports had prepared
them for the appearance among them
of a woman made vulgar by wealth
The simple inhabitants in the neigh
borhood Of Floors castle expected to
find her driving up in diamond
mounted motor or some such fantas-
tically constructed equipage, and were
astonished to find that she was merely
an ordinary woman, with apparently
simple habits.
Like the majority Of imported
duchesses her first anxiety was for the
poor. The new year in Scotland Is a
time for rejoicing and festivity, and
the duchess took to the condition Of
things as If she were a Scotswoman
born. She, however, saw that beneath
the rejoicing and feasting there was a
good deal Of misery, and she directed

moved in Scotland say that she is anx-

pressions that are abroad about her
that she married merely for a title.
The intense interest that Lady Ran
dolph Churchill takes in politics is
manifesting itself in her sons actions.
Under her influence her husband re-

people, who are somewhat envious Of
the young mans political prominence
even go so far as TO say that his moth
er prepares his speeches. She satisfies
herself, however, by discussing with
him the subject upon which he has TO
speak before he makes any important
pronouncement. The position he has
taken over the fiscal policy of Mr.,
Chamberlain has caused much trouble
In the Marlborough family. The duch-
ess, with her immense influence in So
ciety, was supposed to have taken
young Winston under her wing. AS the
world knows now, she exercised her
influence in another direction by find
ing a job for her husband, and Win

ing their revenge. Son and mother are
now proud to fight their political bat

Duke and Duchess Of Sutherland, and
Lady Violet Finch, daughter of the

Another touch of the picture was
given to this wedding by the presence
of two military companies In full uni
form. The Earl of Warwick, Lady
Marjorie's father, is honorary colonel
Of the Essex Yeomanry, and Lord
Helmsley, the bridegroom, that OF the
Yorkshire Hussars, and these COM
panies, the hussars in the uniform Of
blue and silver lace, and the Essex
men In green, lined the nave Of the
church. The bride had also a military
escort, and her arrival was announced
by the blast of bugle.
IL ne array OF presents IN the great
hall, upon the walls of which hang the
trappings from the horse used by Queen
Elizabeth when she visited Warwick
castle-made one think of Ali Baba's
cave. There were diamonds, rubies, sap
phires and emeralds-rings, pendants,
necklets and bracelets. Also services Of
gold plate and silver in almost every
sort Of workmanship, rich sables,
priceless old lace, umbrella handles in
green jade and diamonds, gold mounted
dressing bags, magnificently jeweled
clocks, old china bowls and services,
crystal bells and delicate things In the
most costly ivory.
The kings present to "Queenie" was
a ruby and diamond brooch, and, oddly
enough, on the card bearing his auto
graph, his majesty had been absent
minded enough to write 1903" instead
of the proper numerals. From her ia
Their and mother, the bride received a
turquoise and diamond cross, a sap
phire and diamond ring and two horses
hunters; from her husband many
beautiful Jewels. Lord Rosebery, the
former Lady Randolph Churchill, the
American ambassador and Mrs. Choate,
John Oliver Hobbes," Lord and Lady
Yarmouth and many other notables
well known in the United States were
among the host of folk who also were
represented by expensive gifts.

on the English roads.
AT first the trains win consist OF
four coaches, two first and two third
class, with a total seating capacity OF
270 persons. The cars viii be sixty
feet long and ten feet wide. The first
class carriages will be beautifully pam
elled In oak. The seats, built on tho
American principle, will be wide and
comfortable, their upholstery being
equal to any now in use. The third
class coaches will differ from the first
only in furnishing, a palmer interior
with rattan covered seats instead OF
cloth being used. All the carriages
will be well lighted and heated by cleo
tricity.
At each end OF every train will be a
small compartment containing the app
paratus to control the driving machine
cry. The management calls attention
to these compartments on account OF
their special provisions against fire.
With the exception of the roof, each
motor compartment Is covered with
sheet steel plate lined with uralite, u
well known fire-proofing material,
while all the troughs carrying cables
have been lined with the same sub
stance.
Although the new trains probably
will be capable of making better time
than the steam ones now in service,
the company does not purpose to run
them beyond the speed the present ex-
presses attain.
