STORY OF ROMANCE DENIED.
Young Westinghouse Did Not Meet
Fiancee while in shops.

London. March s-Miss Evelyn Violet
BrockIebank. daughter Of Sir Thomas
and Lady BroekIebank, whose engage
ment TO George Westinghouse, jr., OF
Pittsburg. has recently been announced,
is remarkable pretty girl. Being a
beauty and well lowered, It was generally
expected that she would make brilliant
match. but few anticipated that she would
win such rich matrimonial prize as the
Pittsburg -millionaire's son and heir.
Not a little envy Is mingled with the con-
gratulations which her unmarried fem
mime friends are shOwcring upon her. for
Americans, especially the rich ones. have
the reputation here Of making the best
and most indulgent husbands in the world.
\ romantic story was cabled over here
and doubtless widely circulated in Amer
lea. that Miss BrOcklebank and young
Westinghouse first met only a short time.
ago at his fathers mammoth Pittsburg
establishment, and although greatly i'm
pressed by the intelligence and gentle
manly demeanOr Of the workman in over
ais who showed her over the works. she
had no idea that he was the w0rid-famed
inventors son And when she found out
who ne was Cupid's work had been al
ready half done and young Westing-
/ house had no trouble in completing the
/ conquest.
! The workman story" Lady Brockle-
/ bank says, is pretty, but incorrect Mr..
and Mrs Westinghouse and Sir Thomas
/ Brocklebank ana 1 are old friends and
on his first visit 10 England. Mr.. George
Westinghouse met Miss Violet BrOckle-
+ bank when he came with his parents 10
/ Irton Hail.
I George Westinghouse was mere boy
/ then and Miss Violet had not long been
emancipated from the nursery. But the
muIti-millionaire's son was d frequent
guest at triton Hall. ana as the years
sped on he and Miss Violet became great
/ friends. From that 20 love the step was
/ easy. Irton Hall is a charming old place
and lends itself much better 20 the actv-
titles of the little blind god than a factory
filed with whirling machinery.
The greater. part Of she house belongs
to the EIzabethan period, but various dd-
ditions have been made 10 it from time
TO time. The tower which appears on
the side of the mansion is much older
than the main building. It Is Of Saxon
origin and al least 500 years old. The Old
oak in the foreground, il is believed, may
claim equal antiquity.
Sir Thomas BrockIebank is ifty-stx
/ years old. and q great Liverpool ship
owner He has a fine town house In Ltv-
erpooI Itself. and besides Triton Hall. in
Cumberland, has two other country seats.

SUFFRAGETTFS SEEK REVENGE.
London Women Blame Prime Min
lister for Defent of Their Bill.

London, March 9.-The unhappy crea-
lures VINO helped to sidetrack the female
suffrage bill in the House Of Commons
yesterday are already learning The sad
truth Of the proverb that there is no
fury like that OF a woman's scorn- The
suffragettes are already pouring the walls
of their wrath upon them.
Their favoTite victim is Prime Minister
Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, who de
clared himself personally on their side
but refused 10 lift a finger 10 save their
bill in the House. They denOunce him
in incorporate language at meetings held
to-day.
Sir Henry has been found out. Angry
speakers declared that there would be no
more hero worship, of which he has been
the subject, now that they have seen his
shutting.
The suffragettes promise TO make their
campaign more violent than ever. and
devote their attacks chiefly against the
Liberal party, which betrayed them.

One OF the popular amusement resorts
there next 20 the celebrated golf links, IS
the Municipal Casino. People have adopt
ed it. for it offers something worth hay
ing or seeing every twenty-four hours.
Indeed, if the management goes on IN the
way it has begun there is no reason why
the Casino should not become as much a
feature of Cannes life as the golf club IS.
II is the more likely because there is
a well-bred air about the entertainments,

means of transportation between the
jamestown exposition grounds and sew
eral cities and points of interest around
Hampton Roads and Tidewater. Vir-
ginia. The BELT Line" on land by
steam or trolley cars, is a familiar in
stitution in many cities, but here for
the first time has been organized
water belt line. boats instead of cars
being used.
Splendid observation steamers will be
run on this novel route Each steam
er will carry about 1900 passengers
without crowding. A regular schedule
of trips will be made, the boats start
ing from Campbells wharf in Norfolk,
touching at Portsmouth, the Norfolk
navy yards, Newpart News. Old Point
Comfort, Fortress Monroe and other
historic points enroute, and completing
the one-way trip at a fine pier to be
built out in the waters of Hampton
Roads directly in front Of the exposi-
tion site. Boats will run every fifteen
minutes. A unique and valuable feature
of the plan is to issue coupon tickets
on these trips. giving the passenger the
privilege of disembarking at any or
all Of the stopping places mentioned
and taking the next boat or any boat
later in the day. This viii give OPP
portunity for seeing all of the sights
The round trip to the exposition in this
manner will be full Of incident These
water belt line trips are to be IN no
sense on the order Of the average

and bobtail of humanity usually take
possession of the boat; on the contrary,
they will appeal to the best class of
people, no liquors being sold aboard
and no rowdyism being permitted
Besides the regular trips, the com
pany is planning to have numerous ex-
cursions to such places a Jamestown
Island, Yorktown and other points of
historic interest in and around Tide

At Yorktown, where Lord CORVALLIS
surrendered to George Washington, is
a beautiful monument erected by the
government to commemorate the great
victory. There stands the first custom
