COUNTESS OF oRFoRD
IN FAMOUS MANSION
Former Miss Corbfn of New York
Moves TO Picturesque
Wolterton Hall.

LONDON, April 15.-The Countess of
Oxford, formerly Miss Louise Corbin of
New York, daughter of the well-known
railroad magnate. has just moved from
Warrington Hall, Norfolk, to Wolter-
ton Hall, the smaller but more pic
turesque residence which the Earl owns
in the same county. 1t viii be their
permanent home in future. Though
Lord Oxford was born there, it had not
previously been occupied for some
thing like fifty years, II.
1t has taken two years to get the old
place. fixed up and renovated. The dec
orations and rearrangements of the in
terror have been carried out under Lady
Orford's personal supervision, with
rare taste so as to harmonize with the
original structure. She has replaced
all the old pictures and. tapestries
which formed part of its furnishing
when. it was built by Sir Horace wal
pole. 1t is fine old Jacobin mansion
standing in the midst of a beautifulIv
wooded park.
Few peers have. had such an adyen-
turous career as Lord Oxford. He en-
tered the navy as a midshipInan when
he was small boy and at II was shin
wrecked in the troopship .AIagera off
ST. Pauls Island, eighteen hundred
miles from anywhere. He spent three
terrible months with his comrades. on
the island, subsisting for the most part
on sea fowls eggs and seaweed. He
took part in three years crusade
againstethe slave dealers Of the South
Seas after that. helped annex Fiji and
was in other exploits before he retired
from the navy.
His American wife, whom he married
in 1885. shared his rowing spirit. ac-
companied him ON his world wide trav-
els and participated in big game shoot
ing with him in various parts of the
earth. Now that they have done the
globe pretty thoroughly and settled
down, society hopes to see more of this
interesting couple than it has hereto
fore done.

Dozens of them are filing military,
naval and civil offices of Importance
and rich ,emoluments, and he delights
to honor them. His Majesty's recollee-
tions of Bonn are among the very hap
piest of his life. and the intimacies
formed beneath the elms fringing the
Rhine at that picturesque spot are
cherished by him amid the exacting du-
ties of kingship at Berlin.
DR.. Won Bethmann- Iollweg is two
years the Kaiser's senior, being 4S years
old. He is a Prussian, born in the
province of. Mohan- Finow, and has ad-
vanced rapidly in various departments
Of the Government service since enter
ing it in 1879. His latest position. from
which he was advanced to Cabinet
rank, was that of president of the pro-
vince Of Brandenburg, in which Berlin
and Potsdam are. situated. and there
fore the most important district of its
kind in the empire. He was a member
of the Reichstag for one term. repre-
| senting. a Conservative con-
stituency. His grandfather was a Prus-
sian Minister of Education and Wor-
ship.
/, His appointment is said to have come
as a great surprise. The Kaiser made
the new Minister aware of his promo
| ton the other night in Berlin at the
opening performance of the remodeled
Theater Royal. He told him of it quite
casually between acts Next morning
the papers wereSfufl of the news, giving
unique details of how his Majesty de-
lighted in catching his new Minister Off
his guard with the announcement of
the distinction he was about to confer
upon him.
Poultney Bigelow, the American
writer, as is well known. was a class
mate Of Emperor William and of the
new Prussian Minister of the Interior
at Bonn. Bigelow had a fine chance to
keep on the most intimate of terms
with the Kaiser. so it is related in Ber-
lin, but threw away, the opportunity
by accepting an engagement from an
enterprising American life insurance
company, which hired him for cam
paigning in Germany on the strength
of his august connections. The Kaiser
never liked the idea of his friendship
being exploited in this way, and Bige-
low has never enjoyed. the same stand
ing in Berlin since then. William II
was immensely fond of Bigelow and
used to find frequent opportunities of
honoring him, both before and after
becoming Kaiser.
Another of the, Kaiser's classmates
who ranks among the coming men" of
Germany is Baron Windheim, former
police president of Berlin. He is now
president OF the province of Frankfort

the first high honors at his Majestys

Mrs. Maria Miller's Charges Against
City and County Hospital Officials
Rouse Her Acquaintances.


The few acquaintance of Mrs. Ma
ria Miller, who was a short time ago
removed from 426 O'Farrell street to
the City and County Hospital, have
been agitated by the woman's state
ment that she had been abused and
starved at the hospital. In proof of
her assertion Mrs Miller shows
bruises on hands, arms and body.
The woman was taken sick at the
O'Farrell-street address and DIR. j. NJ.
Macdonald was called. He advised
her to go to the City Hospital and an
ambulance was sent by the Health
Department. The woman refused to
go and a week later the ambulance
called again and she was taken to the
hospital.
Miss keenan,, the nurse in ward E,
where the woman lies, says the
bruises were noticeable when Mrs,
Miller was received. DIR. B. H. Bau-
meister,e in charge of the ward, said
the bruises were noticeable the next
morning. The people at the house
and the driver of the hospital ambu-
lance say they observed no bruises.
The treatment accorded Mrs. Mil

declare, is of the best, but they say
she is continually delirious and otter

I'm the Atlantic ocean the vast
Saragasso sea- containing 100000
square miles of surface-a great ma
rine prairie as large as the whole of
the United States exclusive of Alaska
and dependent islands-afEords vege-

which. in their due time. die and are
precipitated to the depths, their bod
les in turn to be eaten by the animals
which live far below all vegetation
So it is throughout the whole ocean,
animal life is constantly falling from
the surface waters for the support OF
the animal life Of the abyss. A very
large number of the deep sea animals
are exceedingly tenuous or translucent
in form-so to put it-having no
special organs Of nutrition, but taking
in their nourishment through the walls
of their bodies, appropriating from
the water the food which suits them.
Some of them have a bony structure,
a skeleton, which they form also from
the water, silica and carbonate of lime
being the chief skeleton-forming ma
terials."
