 Same important alterations are being made in Dorchester House this spring, and some of the principal rooms nave been done over Miss Jean Reid is still one Of the most-taiked-of young women In Lon don, and everyone is wondering whether she will follow the example of many Amer ican sisters and enter the British peerage.
 The latest name to be coupled with Miss Reid's is that of the young Marquis or Anglesey, who succeeded to the title and estates of his eccentric cousin several years ago. He is good looking, very wealthy, and one of the most desirable matches" of the day. But a short time ago it was rumored that the -darquis was engaged to Princess Patricia of Con- naught

 MT. Ritchie is the son of Mrs. Adair. the well-known society hostess, whho Is now back at her little house in Curzon street, where she proposes to do great of entertaining this season.
 Mrs. Adair's musicales and dinners are famous in London society. Her son is a strapping big fellow, very athletic, and very popular. His mother is giving him d house in town and making a handsome settlement on him. Mrs. Adair expects to entertain the King on his return to Lon don this spring.

He is tenant farmer new to Parliament, with a strong Irish brogue and a happy ignorance or the ways of society.

 The Dowager Empress of Russia re- gently disllocated all railroad traffic be- tween London and Sandringham, King Edwards Norfolk home
 Being used to the leisurely method of railway travelling In Russia, Her Majesty became panic stricken when the royal train, which was conveying her and her sister Queen Alexandra, from London, rolled out of the station at the very mod crate speed of twenty miles an hour.
 Now royal trains are invariably punc- tual, and when King Edward travels he arrives at his destination within few seconds of schedule time. But the Dowa- ger Empress, in Voluble DahlSn, begged her sister to give orders for the train to slacken, which Queen Alexandra did, al- though she was very much amused. For some distance the train proceeded at fun eral pace, but after a time the engineer took heart and opened the throttle a little wider
 Again the Dowager Empress sent a frantic appeal mot to go so fast!''
 The result was that the royal train ar- rived at the station for Sandringham nearly forty minutes late-an unprece- dented occurrence-and all the traffic on the line was held up meanwhile, to the great confusion of homeward bound com muterS.
 The last time English railways suffered in this manner was during the visit of the late Shah of Persia. He would not allow railway trains to travel faster than ten miles an hour, and his snail-like prog ress through the country villages evoked keen delight and amusement

A Story With Many Morals.
New Orleans Times-Democrat)

There are many morals to the sala-
cious story now in course of narration
in Judge Fitzgerald's court. The out
lines are as old as the race. A young
man born with a golden spoon in his
mouth, young woman born with nc
spoon at all, a society man with wealth
and luxury, an artist who was at once
an intellectual giant and moral dwarf
these are conditions that have ire
sistibly made for evil since the world
began. In the America of today, as
in the Rome of ages long gone, the
scions Of virile and Industrious stock
are impelled to vice by an environment
which is calculated to try the strongest
natures and which is sure to make ship
wreck of the weakest. The types stand
out from the testimony with startling
distinctness. The girl without an edu-
cution, the mother without heart, the
gilded youth bent on pleasure, the viveur
with a conscience are painfully familiar
to students of history and readers of
history alike. Nero and Poppaea, Louis
XIV, and Madame Dubarry, Becky
Sharpe and the Marquis of Steyne,
Stanford White and Evelyn Nesbit sim
ply pose afresh the problem which has
baffied each generation of thinkers.
Harry Thaw's career is the career of
the Prodigal Son, with variations of
time, place and manners. After the
frenzy and the rioting have come the
nausea and the repentance and the
thought of the irrevocable past. "Sunt
lachrymae rerum."

Substitutes for Wood Pulp.
(Springfield RenuhlicanN

Again the hope is held out that a
workable substitute for wood pulp in
the making of newspaper has been
found There is crying national need
for this if the spruce forests are to be
saved or their slaughter checked. 1t is
held that pulp for making white paper
can be produced from the wheat and
rice straw of the West and South, a
by-product which has heretofore had
small value 1t is further claimed that
the turning out of paper from this ma
terial will require no change in the ma
chinery of the paper mills after the
pulp has been pounded If, as is as
serted, the finest fibre for paper can be
obtained from rice straw, there is an
immense supply of this to be drawn
upon. Hope of this kind has been held
out before, and it will be good thing
if a real discovery has been made. as
many mills in the Northwest have been
obliged to shut down because of a lack
of wood pulp.

The Richmond Journal in some edito-
rial criticisms of the Protection views
OF Secretary Shaw, given by him in 8
speech recently made at Springfield,
Mass, says:
The vice of protection lies in the
fact that it is essentially unfair and
unequal in its burdens and its benefits:
1t impoverishes one man or one locality
in order to enrich another man or an
other locality"
Our free trade contemporary can
very fippantly give utterance to such a
statement as this, but it cannot produce
any tangible or visible proof to sustain
the declaration, if it refers to the vice
of American protection. We defy the
Journal to point out single community
or locality in the United States that has
been impoverished or even damaged fl
nancially under the operations of the
Republican protective tariff. We also
challenge it to produce the class of citi-
zens that has been injured or impover-
ished by it. The only man who has
grown impoverished since the Dingley
law became operative is the lazy. thrift
less person who does not desire to work
or prosper.
The city of Richmond, where the
Journal pours out so Justify the AGA
demic theories of free trade, has pros
pered during the past ten years as it
never has done before. The newspa-
pers of that city have been full of sta
tistics to show that this is so; but, as
the supporters of the Anticipated and
discredited free trade doctrines of the
Democracy, they are constrained to pro-
nounce the economic principle under
which they are prospecting and growing
great as vicious and unfair.
The vice of protection lies not in the
fact that it places unfair burdens on To-
calities and individuals, but it only az
pears as a vice to the distempered Wis
ions of those who have been and are
still believers in political economy as
taught by Adam Smith.

TURNED HIM INTO A FREAK.
Young Mans Unfortunate Experiences
With a "HaIr WASH"

There is young resident of the up
per western section OF the town who
is blessed with dignity beyond his
years, and With a sister whose years,
albeit these number but "a, are be-
yond her common sense says the New
York Press. One night, having an
extra guest. and the sister being away
at at seashore, Binks occupied his sis
ter's room for the night. Discovering
on her toilet table a bottle marked
hair wash, and thinking that perhaps

CURED attention, he applied the con-
tents of the bottle literally to his
scalp locks, rubbing it in with thor.
oughness.
The following day, two hours before
any business house opened it's doors,
an individual with a SLOUGH hat pulled
down over his ears and having all the
signs of dementia went speeding down
town on the subway express. Wild.
eyed and incoherent he sought the es-
tablishment of one of the best hair
dressers in town.
He has repeated his visit to the
shop every morning since that time
and the specialist is slowly removing

trade, the brilliant gold streaks which
were so noticeable amid the jetty
black of the remainder Of the couture.

Will Congress Do Nothing7
philadelphia Press)

The collision of the Larchmont renews
the CHASTITY chronicles of the past. The
steamer was % years old. She was with
out adequate bulkheads or fore-and-
aft division of the hull. Being a side
wheeler, a blow on the side amidships
not only let water into the largest open
space, but disabled all motive power
and broke the vessel in two. No prop
erly built vessel of |, COS tons of dis
placement would sink in 10 minutes,
even if hit as was the Larchmont. The
central compartment would fill. The
vessel would list. She might become
manageable, but she would keep
aHoat even in sea as high as on Block
Island Sound for the better part of an
hour.
But under our legislation on coast YES
sells, safety is neglected. In spite of
the Slocum disaster great wooden hulks
carry passengers by the thousand. In
spite of the grim and terrible record of
the Larchmont, which but repeats pre-
vlous disasters, side-wheel passenger
steamers, which no other navigation
laws would permit to ply, will continue
to risk their passengers lives every day
IN the year. Congress will do nothing.
The vessel owners dominate the con-
gressional committees. Our inland wa
tiers are so extensive, they are in the
main so safe, the travel is so constant
and the conditions of sea and coast offer
so little peril that precautions required
on stormier coasts are neglected.
