NEW THAMES BOATS
IN SERIOUS MISHAPS
Chapter of Accidents With
the Sunday Crowds Oh
the River.

LONDON, June 1S.-The Prince Of
Wales on Saturday inaugurated the new
steamboat service of the London County
Council on the Thames. To-day there was
a tremendous rush of passengers. attract
ed mainly by curiosity. and the boats
were heavily laden. There were several
accidents.
One boat collided with a bridge, and an
other was rammed and so badly damaged
that she was obliged to land her passen-
gers. Another boat developed a serious
list near Warping, which nearly resulted
in calamity. The passengers were
panic-stricken and many jumped over
board. fearing that the boat was founder
ing. A number of rowboats, observing
the plight of the steamboat, put off to
the rescue OF the passengers. all of whom
except one were landed. Fears are ex-
pressed that the new steamboats, are
faulty In design.

KING EDWARD SHOWS HIS
FRIENDSHIP TO AMERICANS
Party of Terrists Allowed to Go
Through the Palace Without the
Regular PYeliInsnhrscs.

LONDON. June lS.-king Edward
never let's a chance slip of doing any
thing that tends to promote friendly
relations between England and Amer
lea. That vas strikingly illsutrated
by an incident that occurred the other
day. Incidentally also it illustrates
what American audacity can accom-
plish.
Armed with a letter from Henry
White, formerly first secretary of the
American embassy in London and now
ambassador to Rome. a party of Amer
leans called at Buckingham Palace to
do" the royal residence and the royal

feed to get them shown over the sta
bfes, where they were able to feast
their eyes on the Kings horses and
carriages, but they were told that they
could not go over the palace itself
without permit from the Lord Cham
beriain, that being an inflexible rule
where foreigners are concerned.
Earl Clarendon fills that Office. He
was out of town and none of the palace
officials knew where a message would
find him. Apparently the difficulty was
an insurmountable one. One of the
party suggested that the Lord Cham
berlain's permit might be dispensed

also was impossible, as the King was
attending the races at Newmarket. Not
one whit abashed. the spokesman OF
the party inquired if he could not be
communicated with by telephone. When
the official had again regained his
breath, he admitted that it was posi-
BILE and that the palace contained a tel
ephone which could be switched on to
any place where his Majesty might be
staying, but there was no precedent for
employing 1t for such a purpose.
Apparently another impasse had been
reached. However. after a good deal
of palavering the persevering Ameri-

man in charge of the palace telephone.

but finally he decided that he would
risk it, though he declared emphat-
ically that he would never have
dreamed Of doing a thing so unusual
for any but Americans.

authenticated, they were by his Maj

Further investigation by Detective Gibson

that portion Of the money was on de-

was learned that Sharp leaves for Salt

getting evidence that is expected to aid
in the arrest of local men in connection
with the swindle, and that he hopes to

SUMMER AIDS TO BEAUTY.
Some Simple Rules and Lotions fos the Benefit of Feminine
 Readers.

Cucumber peelings. boiled in water, will be found good for the skin. A slice of cucumber may be rubbed on the face. instead of soap. Lemon juice will re- move sunburn. Dill water is as good for the complexion as rose water, though it makes the skin paler.
 Elderflower water is famous for It's cooling properties, as is also lavender water.
 Never go out in blustery weather without veil unless you wish tanned skin or freckles.
 Do not forget, when drying the face after washing. to rub upward toward the nose. This will prevent wrinkles. and will help to smooth out to great extent the crease alongside the nose. Use neither hot nor cold water ex- clusively for bathing. A good rule to follow is hot bath at night and cold one in the morning. but be sure to take bath daily if you wish to keep your skin in good condition.
 Do not wear tight shoes If you desire graceful carriage; no woman can walk comfortably or well in shoes that are too small for her feet. Do uot wear 100 small gloves.
 Avoid tight lacing and any form of dressing which congresses any organ of the body. Mrs. Murphy, in Ladies' Home Journal.
