ACCIDENTS DAMPEN
AROOR OF HUNTERS

LONDON. Nov. 30.-The English hunt
ing season has started with such an I'M
usually large proportion Of accidents
that there Is a marked tendency to pull
the rein"
One peer has been killed outright.
while half a dozen wearers Of the
strawberry leaves are laid, Up with
broken Coilarbones, legs. and arms. Nor
have the unfortunate ones been novices
at following the hounds on the con-
trary, most Of the injured are the mas
ters Of their own hunt, which empha-
sizes the element of chance that attends
most runs.
The result has heen that recent meets
have been poorly attended. Panic obvi-
oUsly reigns. Ladies and gentlemen
whose answering attendance had Sc
cured for them the nickname OF figure
heads" have sought the most trivial ex-
cuses to absent themselves from the
runs, and. instead. have turneT their
attentions to the guns.
Stables are strangely full, and the old
"ruunerS-up" and kennel men shake
their heads ominOusly If a little con-
temptuously, for, in their vocabulary. an
accident gives piQuanCy to the sport
otherwise unobtainable
Meanwhile the birds are having a bad
time of t.. and this state OF things Is
likely TO continue until one or two &C
cidents occur Then hunting viii be

Both at oxford and Cambridge the
undergraduates have recently given ex-
hibitiOns OF violent high spirits which
have brought the ringleaders before the
local magistrates. The Oxford re-
solved into a free hght between town

PARIS. Nov. 30-At Nancy a couple %
young rogues have been sentenced to
te-ms OF Imprisonment for a peculiarly
ingenious and daring piece OF royuery.
A youth named Laurent had been found
such a handful tha. his parents could
not manage him at all. and sent him 20
severe old uncle. who promised TO
keep a whiphsnd over the boy.
Laurent had not been more than a
week or two at his uncIe's before he
found that the old gentleman possessed
a large sum Of money at a local bank.
He communicated the fact TO E. com

relative.
They first OF all bought a false white

uncle NJ. Laurent the elder was in the
habit OF spending several hours every
afternoon playing dominoes at a cafe

When all their plans were ready, the

disturb them for several hours. Then

QUEEN CHARMED
BY MRS. KEPPEL

LONDON, Nov. 3O-On the occasion
OF her third visit to Sandringham. the
Hon Mrs. George Keppel. who was &C
companied by her husband. swept all
before her. Her visit 10 the Kings Nor
folk home was marked by a great cool
mes on the part OF Queen Alexandra.
Her second visit was far more pleas
ant, and on this third excursion the
Queen completely succumDed to Mrs.
KeppeIs charms. II was the Queen
who took Mrs. Keppel alone round the
diaries. the farm. and the kennels. and
it was noticed that the queen laughed
almost as heartily at Mrs. Keppel' s
Jokes as she invariably does at those

Mrs. Kcppel has n wonderfully distinct
way Of speaking. and her majesty, who
is deafer than ever. manages to catch
all the entertaining Iady's stories. which
arc always new and up-to-date. but
never ilI-natured.
IT was really a most informal and
jolly house party. The Duchess Of

RosebeTy enlivened the men after din

Another feature OF the house party
was a bet between King Alfonso and
the Prince of Wales as to who should
bring down the largest number Of birds.
The Eamekeepers were wildly excited
over II. and made many bets among
themselves. The prince, however, was
an easy winner by more than fifty birds.

PRAISES AMERICA
FOR ADVANCEMENT
IN ELECTRICITY
United States Far Ahead
of Germany in Rail-
roads.
K aiSer' s Commission
Issues Report, Showing
Lines in Use.

BERLIN. Nov. 3O.-That technically
America is away ahead of Germany as
far as electric railroads are concerned.
is the keynote Of the official report made
by the government commission which
was sent to the United States to study
the electric roads there and which re-
turned some two weeks ago.
The report states that It is surprising
20 see the results reached in America
with small means and praises the go
ahead spiri, OF the American engineers.
though it says that it is occasionally
coupled with a recklessness which must
be condemned. and which never would
be condoned I'm Germany where the
safety and comfort OF the public are
much better looked after.
Herr Whitfield. a member Of the COM
mission, said in an interview: The
progress made in America since my pre-
vioUs visit to the United States is en-
ormous. Not only are the American
electric roads i'm the cities superior to
any on this side. but electricity Is used
as the motive power on regular rain
roads to a far greater extent than here,
1T was particularly interesting TO me
20 see that the practical Americans use
alternating current almost exclusively
while the direct current In use at the
time of my previous visit has been
abandoned nearly everywhere.
The American railroads are excel
lently built ana the length of the lines
as well as the good service in thialy
populated States. such as Oregon. were
quite a revelation"
The official report of the commission
made to the Prusslan minister Of public
works. Breitenbach, suggests many i'm
provements on the electric roads IN Ber-
lin based on American ideas.
