.lNDIA's VICEROY QUITS
Has Some disagree ement With Home
Government.
REASONS FOR HIS RESIGNATION
Wants Military Subordinate to Civil
Authority = Thinks Indian Author
Ity Should be Consulted to Know
the Needs of India.

Bombay, Nov 1S.-At a banquet CIV
en- - his honor here Lord Curzon of
Kedleston, the retiring viceroy of
India, made a frank avowal of the rea-
sons for his resignation. Beginning
with the declaration that he consider
ed the Office of viceroy the noblest in
the gift of the British nation, and that
it ought to be looked upon as a prize
to be awarded only to its greatest
statesmen, he said that it could not
be supposed that he would, without
the strongest reasons, resign a posi-
ton which had been the dream of his
childhood and the ambition of his
manhood. He resigned, he said, on
no personal grounds, but in defense
of two great principles; first, that
there should be an indestructible sub
ordination of the military to the civil
authority, and second, the necessity
of paying becoming regard to the In
dian authority in determining the
needs of India.
Lord Curzon contended that in
So~A hAAioSil III NOlOhoC VI IASSO
principles he had the great prepond
erance of Indian opinion behind him
and predicted that, should the day
ever come when the viceroy would be
treated as the mere puppet of the
home government, the justification for
the post would cease to exist He said
he did not believe that the admins
trative wisdom of his countrymen
would ever tolerate such blunder.

Too Much Of a Good Thino.

Three wagons, each containing
three tons of coal, drawn up in line
in front of their home, was the cheer
ing sight that greeted newly welded
couple in West Philadelphia the other
day. Accompanying the coal was
note from the brides father, together
with receipted bill for the coal. The
young people were delighted, But
there was more coal coming to them.
Scarcely had the first wagon backed
up against the curb when three more
coal wagons, one containing three
tons and the others one ton each,
drove up. Accompanying this con-
signment was also a receipted bill and
a note conveying the information that
it was a present from the bride
groom's mother. The sight of the
string of coal wagons along the street
attracted the attention of the neigh
bors, and caused all the small boys in
the neighborhood to flock about the
premises. Still another consignment
was destined for the couple 1t came
in two big fiye-ton vans before one of
the first wagons had discharged its
load, and was from the brides broth
er. This last shipment drove the
groom to a state of frenzy, and, rush
ing over to a telephone station, he
frantically notified his relatives to
cease shipping coal to his house.

Diamonds That Explode.

A curious fact regarding diamonds
is that it is not uncommon for the
crystals to explode as soon as they
are brought up from the mine. Some
times they have burst in the pockets
or the warm hands of miners, due to
the effect of increased temperature.
Large stones are more likely to do
this than small ones. Valuable stones
have been destroyed in this way. By
way of safeguard, some dealers i'm
