KING SELLS MOTHERS GIFT
Whistler Etchings Given by Artist to
Queen Victoria Go to an
American
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 2O.-At the time Of
Queen Victoria's jubilee Whistler
made UP and presented to her port
folio containing a complete collection
of his etchings, including those OF the
naval review, Of which there is only
one other copy extant.
Why Whistler should have made
such a present to so eminently Philis-
tine a parsonage as Queen Victoria
may be a matter of conjecture, but
there can be no doubt that 1t was the
most valuable and beautiful memento
of the celebration of her jubilee. This,
1t is now stated, is amongst the collec-
tion of Whistler etchings recently sold
by the king to an American millionaire
collector. The explanation Of the tran
saction Is, 1t is stated, that they were
got rid of to make room for other Inn
portant works in the library at Wind
sor. OF course these etchings were the
personal property of the king and he
was perfectly entitled to sell them II he
chose. But II Is apparent that II II
was found necessary to provide more
room for the works OF art at Windsor
there are many family portraits By
Witherhalter Prof. Angel and others
Of no artistic merit which might much
more properly be sacrificed. The in
cident has caused some very unfavor-
able comment In artistic circles and a
gOod deal more is likely to be heard
OF 1t.

ENGLISH MINISTERS PROTEST
AGAINST ENA's MARRIAGE
Blame the Pope for AIlIanee--say
Wedding Of Princess TO Roman
Catholic 10 Menace to
Peace Of England
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 2O-What is cal
culated to create bitter feeling be-
tween Roman Catholics and Protestants
In England is the violence of the
langua ge used in the protest the other
evening at the approaching marriage
Of Princess Ena to the king of Spain
on the part of a large assembly of the
clergy of the Church of England. The
clergymen had come from all parts Of
England to attend the annual assembly
of the Protestant Reform society.
Alliance Is Denounced
A resolution condemning the alliance
az a slight and an insult to the Church
Of England and danger to the British
nation. was carried with vehement
cheers by the audience which crowded
Exeter hall.
Here are some of the remarks of The
speakers:
This unholy alliance was not worked
up in England, but was engineered in
Rome. The black hand was behind it
all. The peace of England, which came
through the Bible, is endangered. Our
ancestors have already suffered from a
member of the royal family having
married a papist."
The pope has won an English prln-
cess to his side who will be valuable
agent in bringing other converts to the
Church of Rome"
By the VOWS she has taken she las
declared her uncle, King Edward
worthy of eternal damnation."
Calamity Is Predicted
But one of the most violent speeches
of the indignant clergy was that in
which amid Kisses and cries of shame
an excited white-haired old man sald
Princess Ena Is to be pitied for re-
ceiving the blessing of the pope and
having the Order of the Golden Rose
bestowed upon her. No one who ever
got that blessing prospered, and IL is
notorious that the bestowal Of the
Golden Rose is always followed by a
calamity to the receiver"

TIGHT LACING is BLAMED
Marcus Stone, r. A., Gives Some Rea-
sons Why Great Men
Are Few
Special Gable to The Herald.


LONDON, May 2O.-Marcus Stone, r.
A, who is represented for the forty
ninth consecutive time in this years
Royal Academy, says tight corset lac
ing by women accounts for the remark
able absence of really great men at
the present day.
1T is peculiar thing" he said, that
although. at the present time, there are
hardly any really great Englishmen
whose fame Is likely to be lasting, yet
between fifty and sixty years ago. when
was quite young man, England
could boast of large number of gen.
fuses in many and varied walks of life.
whose names, apart from being merely
remembered now, will be handed down
to posterity for all time.
Just think of all the great men who
were born during the fifty years be-
tween ITO and 1920. l myself had the
plea sure of personal acquaintance with
Dickens, who wrote some of his most
famous books when he was still in the
20's; with Thackeray, who was respon-
sible for Vanity Fair when he was still
quite young man, and with many
more. The names of such men as
Scott, Turner, Shelley. Byron, Keats,
Carlyle, Macaulay, Tennyson. Bea-
consfield, Gladstone and Watts conjure
up lne TSCOllScllOH VI Sicdl dCHiSNS-
ments in art, politics and literature,
while in the young days of these men
Wellington was still alive. and Nelson
died when last century was but few
years old.
"Since 1926 there have hardly been
any men of genius born in England, and
it is a curious thing that in that year
small waists, and consequent tight-lac-
ing, came into fashion among women.
During the fifty years previous to that
date there had been nothing of this
kind, and it seems to me to be fairly
obvious that here is a very plausible
exclamation of the matter.
LAS a matter of fact, we take much
greater care of ourselves today than
was the case century ago, with the
result that the average age people live
to is much more than it was then. One
has only to read some of the books of
that period to find very striking evil
dence of this. Mr.. Pickwick, who was
characteristic of an old dodderer, was
only forty-five,' an age that would be
considered the prime of life today, while
Jane Austen made of the man of thirty
a grave almost careworn person, laden
with the weight of troubles.
'"Today man of thirty is a mere
how. lust about to begin life In earnest
If only Englishwomen were to return
to the fashions Of 1900 now, when, as
| have already said. we take so much
care of our health, l feel sure England
would produce even greater men than
those of whom past generations have
been able to boast"

DISTINCTION. WON
BY CONTINENTAL
First Insurance Company to Finish
Payment Of Losses.

The distinction Of being the first in
surance company to finish the payment
Of It's San Francisco confederation
losses Is claimed by the Continental of
New York. Several companies have
been anxious to secure this honor, and
the Continental is triumphant in the
race. Yesterday it paid the last claim
aaginst 1t on account of the fire of
April 18th.
Arthur G. Mason, general agent of
the Continental, says: 1.-THE Contin-
entail has repeated the record it made
at Baltimore in 1904. when it was the
first to get through with the settle
ment Of losses. 1t was the first COM
pany to begin paying here. It's first
settlement being made on April 2Sth,
ten days after the conf1agration began
1t has completed the work of adjust
ment and payment in four months and
eight days from that time. 1t had a
full corps of adjusters from it's Chi
cago and New York offices-men noted
for their ability and courtesy-and they
dealt with proofs of loss as fast as
filed. The Continental has paid So7
loss claims. aggregating $2.402,79o, and
has made payment in full, without any
discount whatever, regardless of REIN
surance, which was pleaded by so
many other companies as a reason for
not giving the full amount DUE The
largest individual draft was given
Wells, Fargo & Co, being for ss2,-
S95.Ss. The Continental still has as
! sets in excess of s17.OO0,o00 and a net
surplus of over $500 ooO.'

HOMER BAssFoRD's cA,eRAM
Former Mexico Boy Tells About
Bryan in Europe Dispatch to
st. Louis Republic.

VENICE, Aug. 2.-William j.
Bryan is due here next Sunday
and great preparations are being
made for the reception of Mr..
Bryan and his party. The keenest
interest is manifested on all sides
in the coming. visit of the dietin-
guished American.
Me. Bryan and party have been
spending several days in Switzer-
land visiting all the points Of in
terest. Today they were in Zur,
ich, the guests of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Robert Hunter, of New York. Mr..
Bryan is a great admirer of Mr..
Hunter personally, altho he does
not share his political faith.
Mr.. Hunter is a nephew of for
mer Congressman Hunter, of Par
is, ILL.,, and well known in the
United States, because of his
work among the poor of Chicago
and New York. He is a native of
Terre Haute, where he was born
in 1874, and a graduate of the
University class of '96.
EXPERT ON SOCIOLOGY.
Mr.. Hunter made sociology a
specially and went to Chicago,
where he was chosen chairman of
the Tenement Inquiry Committee,
and was also Unidentified with Hull
House. He is the uncompromis-
ing enemy Of employers of child
labor, and some of the largest en-
ployers Of children have reason to
remember his vigorous attacks
against the employment of young
girls in factories and stores.
He espouses Socialism, to which
Mr.. Bryan is violently opposed.
Notwithstanding the two gentle
men differ so widely in their polit.
ical view, Mr.. Bryan being the ad-
vocate of individualism, there is a
bond of sympathy between them in
their effort for the benefit of the
people.
