 There have been several reports that Gorky had obtained divorce from his wife, but all of them proved untrue. There has been no recent announce ment of a divorce and if one has been obtained it was without publicity.
 When Gorl>y visited New York to raise funds for the Russian revolution ists, his peculiar moral beliefs greatly injured his cause.

German Spirit Monopoly.

BERLIN. November 1S.-The imperial
government has determined to introduce
in the reichstag a bill converting the sale
of raw spirit into government monopoly
This is expected to bring in 70OOO.OO
marks revenue yearly. The government
will buy up all the principal German
spirit factories. and prices will be raised
so that the producers of raw material
will be able to sell at a rate not lower
than now available The government

VICTORIA RETURNING
GLAD TO ESCAPE FROM THE
SPANISH COURT.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
LONDON, November 1S.-Queen Vic
toria Of Spain has been eagerly looking
forward to her visit to England, where
she will find herself once again. for a
time at any rate, among congenial sur
roundings. The fact cannot be disguised
that she finds life at the Spanish court
little to her taste. The terrible experience
she underwent while returning from the
cathedral on her wedding day has left
lasting effects, and her nerve has been
completely undermined. The cold, unfeel-
ing attitude of the Spanish nobility has
added to her cares. and 1t is only when
she is in her native country. with her own
kith and kin, that she seems able to ex-
tract any Joy from lite.
Several of the journals which take such
events seriously have made elaborate
preparations for securing photographs OF
the infant heir to the Spanish throne. The
reception given to baby Prince Olaf last
year promises to be put quit, IN the shade
by the new arrival. Enterpr.sing trades
men, with an eye to future business In
Madrid. have been busy using any influ-
ence they can command In favor of pre-
senting the royal infant with cradles and
other adornments of the nursery.
-. Some Discordant Notes.
One of the latest fads in London is the
presentation of snakes. frogs and lizards
as pets to children. Green frogs. tortoises
and lizards of bright hues are greatly
favored and 1t is supposed that some of
the finest specimens OF these will be ten
dered as gifts to the Spanish heir.
OF course, some discOrdant notes are
heard in connection with the royal visit.
w hen the occasion arises some pertinent
questions viii be put by one of the best
known democratic members of the house
of commons. with view to ascertaining
for what purpose the battleship Renown
is maintained. and how much she has cost
the nation since she was launched twelve
years ago. On the occasion of the visit
to India of the Prince and Princess of
Wales this battleship was dismantled of
her big guns. classmates. etc, and con-
verted into nothing more or less than a
gigantic pleasure yacht, and since that
time she has been lying useless In Ports
mouth harbor. Now she has been over
hauled and refitted at considerable cost
for the purpose of bringing the King and
Queen of Spain to this country. despite the
fact that King Alfonso owns a steam
yacht. the Giralda. which is one of the
finest in the world.
