AIfonso's Visit Ended .

The ceremonies attendant upon the
visit to London of King AlfonsO Of Spain
ended last night with dinner at MARI
borough House and a state ball at Buck
ingham Palace, in London which latter
was the most brilliant function of the
weeks programme.
In the afternoon King Edward, King
Alfonso and their visited Windsor Castle
which the Spanish King saw for the first
time. He visited the royal apartments
and became enthusiastic over the splendid
views, which, however, we're to some ex-
tent spoiled by continued heavy rain. He
afterwards drove to FrOgmore to visit the
tomb of Queen Victoria.
The royal party returned to London
late in the evening, having received a
great reception at all stations along the
route.
King Alfonso yesterday was decorated
with the royal Victorian chain by King
Edward, and the members Of his suite re-
ceived a number of high orders.
The royal visitor left London this
morning and will sail at noon from Dover.
King Edward has accepted from King
Alfonso the colonelcy-in.chief of a Span
ish regiment. King Alfonso invited
King Edward and Queen Alexandria to
visit Spain at their earliest opportunity,
and it is probable that the invitation will
be accepted for 1906.

King Alfonso.

London, June 0.-King Alfonso who
has been the guest of England since
Monday, lett today en- route to Madrid.
Engishmen are discussing with great
animation the question of the chances OF
royal wedding between Alfonso and
Princess Patricia, of Connaught The
manner in which Alfonso and the young
princess were constantly thrown to-
gether during the kings visit has given
rise to n great deal of talk on the SUD
ject. The whole British court seemed
bent upon matchmaking and no occasion
was missed, from the luncheon given
by the City of London, to Alfonso, i'm
mediately on his arrival, to the military
review at Aldershoi, for putting the
young people in each others way. The
apparent object OF this was to give
Alfonso an opportunity to make up his
mind as to Patricia's eligibility as the
future Queen of Spain. Whatever opin-
ion he may have formed Of Patricia, as a
possible bride, he kept to himself, and
the court is no wiser than before he
came to England. If the royal match
makers succeed, however, the result
will be hailed with satisfaction in
England.

WHY We Recommend Orrine
To Cure Drunkenness.

In taking the agency for Orrine. the liquor
habit cure, we thoroughly satisfied ourselves
that it was an article of genuine merit, and
that the company, which is located in Wash.
ington, d. c., deals squarely and lives up
strictly to the guarantee. "If tho cure is not
made the money will be refunded"
Since selling Orrine numerous cases have
come TO our knowledge that have been cured
of the horrible liquor habit by this meritori-
Gus article, which strengthens the nervous
system and destroys the craving for whisky,
beer, or other alcoholic stimulants. Orrine
is prepared in two forms. No. | should be
given TO cure the patient without his knowl-
edge. Ii can be put into coffee or food as it
is tasteless, colorless and ojorless.
We think that when the excessive drinker
is approached properly he will be willing to
be cured. II he consents, purchase Orrine
No 2, which is put up in pill form. Either
form sells at Sl.00 per package. Step into

Equitable Life Assurance Society.

Paul Morton, who retires from the
secretaryship of the navy on July ], was
Yesterday elected chairman of the Equi-
table Life Assurance Society. His cleo
ton marks the first and most important
step in the reorganization ofthe society,
and was followed by the tender of the
designations of President james W.
Alexander, Vice President james ii.
HYDE, Second Vice President j. G. Tar
bell, Third Vice President George I.
Wilson and Fourth Vice President VIM.
II. Mcintyre.
Mr. Morton, as explained by Senator
Chauncey NJ. Depew, was the unanl-
nous choice of the board of directors of
the Equitable, although the meeting was
not altogether harmonious.
1t is known that Brayton Ives and
Charles Stewart Smith, who we're IRON
the outset OF the controversy on the side
of the conservative element, protested
against some of the proceedings of the
meeting, and are believed to have voted
against Mr.. M0rlOn's election.
The new chairman, to further quote
Senator Depew, did not consent to take
Office until he had received positive as
surance that he would have "free hand
as to measures and men,"
Mr.. Hyde "divested' himself of the
majority control, but, as made clear in
his letter to the board, retains substan-
tial interest in the society.
All of the designations submitted to the
meeting ere subject to the pleasure of
Chairman Morton, and none has yet
been accepted.
Just what action Mr.. Morton will take
as II these designations was not disclosed,
but it was strongly intimated that Presi-
dent Alexander and Vice Presidents
Tarbell, Wilson and Mcintyre retired
With the belief that their executive re-
lations with the Equitable had ended.
The interests to which Mr.. Hyde dis
posed of his stock number some two
score individuals, led by Thomas F.
Ryan, vice president of the Morton Trust
Company, which has close relations with
the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
one of the Equitable Society's principal
rivals. lIr. Ryan is said to be heavily
insured in the Equitable as are, accord
ing TO report, many OF The others who
acted with him in the purchase of the
Hyde holdings.
The price paid for the Hyde estate
stock, which is to be trusteed practically
in perpetuity, was not disclosed, but
estimates vary from $500, 900 to So

Circus Seats Fall.

Altoona, Pa, June l0.-During a
circus performance at Williamsburg Fri
day night several sections of the se''ts
collapsed, precipitatiug nearly FIVE
hundred people in a mass underneath
the wreckage. More than score OF
persons we're injured, Mrs. William
Strasser and Mrs. William Rath probably
fatally. When the seats went down the
audience was thrown into panic, in
which the cries of the injured, mingled
with the yelling and crowding of those
unhurt, made an understandable scene. A
number of the rough element, believing
that the showmen we're negligent, made
an attack on them as they were prepar
ing TO leave. Stones and clubs were
used, and number sustained injuries.
When the manager ofthe show interced-
ed, he was assaulted BY mob.

Destructiye Fire.

New York, June l0.--One of the most
disastrous fires that has visited Williams
burg, in years, occurred there this morn
ing. The flames consumed the better
part of two blocks, ate their way into a
third, and threatened the river front for
a considerable time. The whole block be-
tween Kent and Wythe avenues, and
south Ninth and Tenth streets was
wiped out, and the block between south
Ninth and Eight streets, was nearly de-
stroyed, while several houses on the
block between south Tenth and Eleventh
streets were burned. The great factory
of the Brooklyn Casket Company, the
plant used for manufacture of collins of
the trust in Brooklyn, and in which the
fire started, was totally destroyed, as
was the VogeI tinware factory. The
total loss is estimated at $500, 900.

Bishop Van DE Vyver Will Visit Pope
Plus

Right Rev. A. Van de Vyver, Catho-
lie Bishop of Virginia, will leave Rich
mond tomorrow for New York and on
the 18th will sail for Rome to make his
personal visit to the Pope. This the
rules OF the church require every ten
years.
This will be the second official visit
of Bishop Van de Vyver to Rome, but
the first to Pope Plus, as the previous
one was made during the reign of Pope
Leo.
With the exception of Bishop McGilI,
the reign of Bishop Van de Vyver has
been longer than that of any other
bishop of this diocese. During the six
teen years that he has been at the helm,
the church has grown phenomenally,
the number of priests increased, and
numerous churches erected.
In his report TO Pope Plus, Bishop
Van de Yyver will tell of the wonder
full impetus given tie church in Vir-
ginia by the building Of the handsome
new cathedral aud various churches in
sections where there were previously
none. During his regime the Catholic
population has doubled, and now mum
bers over 80, 900 souls in the Virginia
diocese.
The number of priests has nearly
doubled, and many been parishes have
instituted. Many priests have been fur
nished with assistants at various churches
where this was not necessary before.
A special feature of Bishop Van de
Vyver's work has been the building of
churches, among them the imposing ca
thedral, which will shortly be completed,
in Richmond st. Paul's Church, in
Portsmouth, which will be used for tie
first time next Tuesday st. Andrew
Church, in Roanoke st. Joseph's in
Petersburg st. Frances in Stanton
Sacred Heart, in Manchester; St.
James, at Falls Church, and St. Mary,
Star of the Sea, at Old Point Comfort.
At many places in the diocese hand
some school buildings have been erected
and the education of the children been
fostered. The purchasing of the seventy
two acres for Mt. Calvary Cemetery was
also done by Bishop Van de Vyver,
whose executive ability and wonderful
fnanciering are manifested in the splen-
did results shown in the history of the
church in the last decade.

The President i'm Virginia.

President Roosevelt did not stop of
at Rapidan yesterday, as announced il
Washington, but went so miles farther
down in Virginia to pay his initial visit
to the Albemare farm, which Mrs.
Roosevelt recently purchased from Mr..
William n. Wilmer, the New York
banker, and which she proposes using
for short visits at any time she may feel
like leaving Washington for rest and
quiet.
The President left the train at Red
Hill, nine miles south of Charlottesville,
and tipping his hat to the half dozen
persons at the station said
81 am glad to meet you gentlemen, |
am glad to become a landholder in your
community"
He then mounted handsome sorrel
stallion, and, accompanied by Mr.. Will
liam Wilmer, started of on l2-mile
horseback ride to join Mrs. Roosevelt,
who arrived at the home of Mr.. Joseph
Wilmer Thursday afternoon.
The tract of land purchased by Mrs.
Roosevelt consists of IL acres. Upon it
is neat two-story residence which has
recently Teen improved to suit the needs
ard tastes ofMrs. Roosevelt. Ii is deep
in the heart of the woods. Its color is
ocher, with brown trimmings and green
blinds. A broad porch extends across
the front. The stairway leads from the
lower hall, where all the rooms have
been thrown into one, 10 the upper story,
where there are three sunny little bed
rooms.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 10. 1905

A MOVEMENT toward bringing about
peace between Russia and Japan has at
last been made, and President Roosevelt
has taken the initiative. 1t is said that
he has the support of most OF the Euro
mean countries, and that the Gar ana
tbe Mikado are in a frame OF mind 10
Listen to suggestions; also that within the
next forty-eight hours the proposals are
likely to crystalize into concerted en-
deayors TO bring about pacific relations
between the bellgerents. While Russia
!. likely to smart under wounded pride
far some time. it is believed that she Is
not disposed to continue at present IN
her desperate course to recover prestige
while il is thought that Japan IS not so
much intoxicated by her success As to
continue bloodshed and completely ex-
baust the resources of the country. II Is
believed by nearly all diplomats that The
struggle. which is now running into the
second year, has continued long enough,
and that both nations should be amen
able TO reason. There is now more con-
fdepce in the outcome than at any time
during the past few months. From
present indications there is a concerted
desire ON the part of most nations &c
bring about peace, as there is no telling
what complications will necessarily fol
low should The struggle be continued
another year. The action OF President
Roosevelt may be taken as an index OF
universal remonstrance against con-
FINANCE of hostiIities. In this cOnnec-
ton it may be observed that the part
taken by the United States in lnterna-
tional affairs is significant. This coun-
try, by the shifting of scenes and the
transitions of the past few years, Is nc
longer regarded as young, weak and
sequestered nation, standing simply
upon the defensive, but a recognized
member of the family Of nations, which
is not only listened to with respectful
attention, but called upon to lead in
delicate international affairs. Should
the Presidents endeavOrs prove success
iul in bringing about peace, all the
world will have cause to rejoice

The Alexandria Hospital.

Alexandria, Va, June sth, 1905.
To the Lady Managers Of the Alexandria
Hospital
Ladies; In the multitudiuous de-
mands made upon each OF us who en-
deavors to keep abreast with the times
in which we live it is only by the recur-
renee of anniversaries that we become
aware how time has sped. can scarcely
r'alize that year has elapsed since my
last report was rendered and yet the
changes manifest in every department
of the hospital fully confirm the fact.
With the additional operating room and
the new building, also the substitution Of
paint for paper on the walls in many Of
the rooms, likewise the more thorough
observance ofAsepiic than has ever been
accomplished before, besides the beauti-
flying Of the yard all tend to made our
Alexandria Hospital attractive to the
invalid and place Of ine,limable value
to the physician and surgeon.
On account of the varied work done
in this institution it Dies seem to me
that the time has arrived when one room
should he properly equipped with graf
ings so that cases Of temporary mania
can be properly handled by the lady
nurses and during my term we came
very nearly having a serious object les
son in this direction cannot speak
too highly of the attention of the pupil
nurses to their duties; they are thorough
y enthused with their work and give
promise OF the best nurses the hospital
has ever turned out.
Of the matron you have my opinion
as expressed in previous reports. We
have the right woman in the right place
and in that place may she live long and
prosper. During my term there were
admitted 1877 patients. Of these l0l
were cured, 4 improved, l6 remained
under treatment and died.
Respectfully,

OELo, colored with azO, poisonous
coal-tar dye, has been sold for the best
dairy butter to all the United States
ships, the camp, marine barracks and
hospital at League Island for many
months. Presidents Roosevelt was In
formed of this on Thursday and said
that immediate investigation would be
made of the whole matter In accor'
dance with the President personal COM
mands, acting Secretary Of the Navy
Darling and Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Yerkes began an investigation yes
terday that caused excitement in the
League Island navy yard and the Phila-
delphia internal revenue Office. Ar
rests, following the charges, are expected
within few days. Suits upon the bonds
of those who supplied the material are
part of the anticipated legal procedure.
The exposure comes directly through the
Pennsylvania dairy and food division
of the Department Of Agriculture. 1t is
a confirmation of the statement, made a
month ago, that oleo industry is being
revived, and that it has at its back most
of the corrupt influences and methods
that four years ago made ii one of the
greatest menaces the American farmer
ever has been called upon to fight.

Wheeling, w. Va: June 10.--Oliver
Goodwin, of CIarksburg, recently mar
ried, was found shot through the heart
this morning in his bed. His wife, who
slept in the same room, told the author

The story is so improbable that the cor

the son of one of the pioneers of the city,
and very wealthy.
