different buildings, smoking cigarettes,
chewing tobacco and splitting on steps

Selling Titles in England. T@,,~ro1

The public conscience Is quickened i, England as well as in America The scandal which followed the revela- tions with regard to contributions by life insurance companies, rich manu- featuring corporations and others to the campaign funds of political parties in America. finds it counterpart in the sensation that has been stirred up in England by the charge that titles and honors have been conferred by the Government upon contributors to par ty funds. One member of Parliament has gone so far as to give notice Of a motion for the appointment of . committee to inquire whether the late and present administrations entered into corrupt agreement with any persons to recommend such persons to the King for the purpose of their be- ing created peers, baronets or knights in consideration of their paying cer- tain sums of money for such honors."
 The titles and honors that are dis tributed on certain occasions by the King, on recommendations of his minis ters, are supposed to represent un- purchased and unpurchasable recogni- ton of merit and achievement. But the smirch of unworthy motives Is now openly cast upon both the Unionist and Liberal Governments. An attempt to bring to the bar of the House of Com mons & member who made the charges boldly in the newspapers was shelved upon motion of the premier, Sir Henry Campbell -Bennerman, which was SUD- ported by the opposition leader, his predecessor In office, Arthur J. Blfour. But it is hardly likely hat the scandal can be smothered, and an investiga- tion of some sort must follow.
 The whole affair Is calculated to give severe jolt to British pretensions that American politics is unspeakably corrupt, while the English article Is quite without reproach.

Pettus Died of Grief.
Washington Dispatch to The New Y
 Times

Washington Dispatch to The New York
 Times.
 That Senator Edmund W. Pettus of Alabaam died of grief over the death of his colleague. Senator John T. Nor gan, is the story brought to Washing ton by Alabamians. Of course. 1t was not that alone. If General Pettus had been a younger man he could have outlived many shocks of that kind. The truth Is that he had been ailing and aging for a long time; but he had been utterly devoted to his octogena- rian colleague, and the sudden shock of Senator Morgan's death was too much for him.
 All last winter men expected Pet tus to die: yet he suddenly rallied, and displayed once again the strength that had always been so astonishing in man over 80 years of age. At the time of Pettus's weakness Morgan appear ed to be stronger than usual; yet. af- ter the adjournment of Congress the latter failed so rapidly that men who saw him within a few weeks were heartbroken at the change in him.
 When Morgan passed away the fad ing old veteran lost all interest in life. These things sound unbelievable. per haps. to a skeptical modern time; but Morgan and Pettus did not belong to modern age. They were relics of an older age.

 Several years ago the proprietor oi n French restaurant put on the table in the middle of his large room a col. lection of several cold dishes. In the midst Of the group lowered a massive pleased. New Workers took eagerly to the cold fish salads and the vegeta- bles which were SO attractively arrang. ed and were as tasty as they looked For while this restaurant proprietor had the cold dishes all to himself. His monopoly is broken now. however, for every large restaurant in New York is now devoting itself to these same dishes in the sumer months.
 They did not attain full popularity in the upper Tenderloin until a new hotel put them in the center of it's large dining room and served them to guests for inspection whether they wanted them or not. The lunchers of the Tenderloin used. to more national dishes at noon. at first viewed ask auce the cold appetizers. Cold eggs served with sauce mayonnaise and stuffed with cavair and mustard mixed with the yellow centres did not ap- peal to them.

 So they went at them warily. In vain the stewards would bring these hors d'oeuvres to the contemplation of the lunchers who refused to show any excitement over them. It almost look ed az if the Tenderloin would remain cold to cold dishes when the tide sud- denly turned.
 In the meantime very famous ho- tel which had hitherto remained in- different to the popularity of cold dish es in the Fifth Avenue restaurants de- cided that 1t would also get in line for the summer patronage. which it did not peem to be getting in full measure. It would serve cold dishes, also, and nut them on view in the centre of the main dining room which had been cooled off for the summer trade by transferring it to room usually used as a cafe. Here with the iceberg gilt tering in the middle of the table were displayed with the ostentation that electric light made possible. cold fishes and salads of cold meat and fish. as well as the little dishes that were to provoke the appetite for these heartier. more substantial foods.
