James ]. Van Alan, the expatriated
American millionaire, has taken a hint
from the Duke of Westminster, who
has for some time past charged all
tourists or excursionists who desire to
explore Eaton Hall and spend day
among the beautiful scenery on his
Cheshire estate, II cents a head. So
great has been the influx OF tourists
to Rushton Hall, Mr.. Van Alan's his
toric place in Northamptonshire, dur
| ing this season, that, commencing with
January /, he proposes to follow the
Dukes example with condition
slightly changed. The income derived
from the Dukes visitors is divided
among local charities. Mr.. Van Alan
will charge a maximum OF % cents
to all visitors from abroad and IL
cents to excursionist parties other than
those who may come from the county
of Northampton, TO whom the grounds
will be free on Mondays and Satur-
days. The income derived from all
sources will be divided between the
local infirmary and an institution for
social intercourse and educational i'm
proyement which he means to estab-
lish in the neighborhood for the bene-
fit of worllingmen. 1t is estimated that
next year when the house and grounds

derived from this project will not fall
