KINGS EXAMPLE
IN GIFTS OF CHARITY
Lily. Duchess of Marlborough, Be-
comes Generous Patron of the
Church Arrny.


LONDON, April 29.-Lily. Duchess of
Marlborough, has, recently become a.
generous patron of the Church Armv.
Until the King showed his apprecia-
tion of the work of the society by in
viting its leader, the Rev. w. A. Car
lille, to Buckingham Palace, it had not
been numbered among the charities to
which she contributed Stimulated by
the royal example she is now making
amends for her previous neglect. She
has visited several of it's depots. ad-
dressed cheering words to their in
mates and distributed among them a lot
of religious literature obtained from
Lady Wimbornes bookshop. Her
checks, of course, she sends to head
quarters.
1t Is striking illustration of the
value Of the Kings influence. But the
other American Marlborough Duchess
the reigning one--did not wait for that
incentive. Before the King had shown
any special interest in the work of the
Army she made tour of it's principal
London stations. accompanied by Mr..
Carlile. and wrote a letter to the paper
that has the largest circulation among
rich folk, describing what she had seen
and appealing to them to lend a help
ing hand.

FORTUNE
FOR A FLOWER
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

LONDON, April 29.-Joseph Cham
berlain, M. p, who is regarded as one
of the. most enthusiastic orchid culti-
vators in Europe, is likely to encounter
serious rival in James Van Allen, the
expatriated American millionaire. The
extensive alterations made at Rushton
Hall, the historic mansion in North
amptonshire, which. he has acquired,
have already been noted. but that he
intended to make a hobby of horticul-
ture there in it's most fascinating form
has heretofore been kept quiet.
Recently Van Allen visited High
bury where he saw Chamberlain S
famous collection of orchids His
quick eye and retentive memory en-
abled him to carry a diagram of
Chamberlain's scheme of cultivation
away with him. This he placed before
James Carmichael. his head gardener
giving, at the same time, instructions
that neither pains nor money was to
be spared in the effort to equal and, II
possible, to surpass. the Highbury
display.
Carmichael. who was for many
years In the service of the late Queen
Victoria, has been securing the coun-
try for the rarest specimens of the or
child family, and a few days ago sue
ceeded in obtaining what is known as
a duplicate orchid. Three separate
specimens cost him close on $4,000.
but Carmichael did not hesitate to out
bid all his competitors. There are
duplicate orchids in Chamberlain $
collection. but if Van Aliens flourish
at Rushton Hall they will excel, IN
rarity at least, anything to be- found
in England.
For number of years King Ed
ward has had to draw upon the re-
sources of Highbury for his supply OF
orchids. When foreign potentates visit
the King and they are known to ia
-vof this particular flower a special
messenger is dispatched to Highbury
and supply obtained. OF course, 1T
will be some time yet before Van
Allen will be able to produce in any
large quantity. but he hopes soon to
be in a position to supplement Cham
berlain's efforts in obliging the Eng
lish monarch

DR.. Mix discussed the subject of

ent system Of throwing drunkards in
discriminatory into the Bridwell "ar-

He took pessimistic view Of pro-

the matter Of prevention stricter Or
ganization for the control Of saloons
should be advocated.
An habitual drunkard is a diseased
man. said DR.. Mix, "and he should
be looked after with a medical eye.
"Inebriates should be divided into
two classes. The first is the hospital
stage and the second the convalescent.
The two never should be mixed.
THE first thing 10 do is to withdraw
