BRITISH KING AND
QUEEN ABOUT TO
SEPARATE
SERIOUS ENHANCEMENT
BETWEEN ROYAL COUPLF
Increasingly Fond of
the Gay Throng at Fashion
able Bdghtoni His Con8ot
Seeks the Simple Life.

LpHubu, MdICH mig Edward
and Queen Alexandria are literary to
be separated from bed and board this
summer. The queen who shows less
inclination towards entertaining every
year Will almost become a hermit
. considerable part of the summer She
will spend at ''HVdoere," the cottage
p which she and her sister, the dowaecr
f empress, bought last year and which
il charmingly situated on the Danish
Sound
! When he returns even quiet San
p bingham will be too gay for her taste
and she has therefore ordered buug-
allow to be built for her personal use
on the beach between Sandringham
land Huntstanton in a very secluded
part, where she may rest without fear
of intruders.
King Edward on the other side is
getting to be more fond of a gay life,
and was so charmed with Brighton,
England's Atlantic city, which he re-
Gently visited, that he has made an
engagements to take over the duke of
Flies house and will spend most Of
his week ends at the popular resort
during the bathing season.
The fact that the royal couple will
thus see very little of each other dur
ing the six months from May to No
vember seems to lend strength to the
rumor that there has been serious
enlargement between them.
Royal visitors by the dozen will in
wade England this summer, greatly to
the joy Of the shopkeepers who hope
to be reimbursed this year for the
losses of last which was exceedingly
| duh
The crown prince and princess OF
/ Germany will be the first to arrive
iquite unceremoniously for they will
travel incognito and will make their
headquarters at a west end hotel pat
Ironized for them, but the suite they
will occupy is quite a modest one,
which would never satisfy the average
American millionaire. 1t goes with
out saying that the proprietor of the
hotel has raised the price of rooms To
four times the usual one during the
time of the visit Of the imperial cou-
Pile, but that he will get what he asks
no one doubts, for ii is not every
night you have a chance of sleeping
under the same roof with the future
ruler of Germany
rive with his wife and daughter, but
he will not go to London He will
take up his residence on the island OF
Wight where great preparations are
being made for his reception.
The primary cause for his visit is
a desire on the part Of the emperor
to witness the international racing
that takes place at Ryde in connec-
ton with the olympic games, in
which the kaiser's yacht The Meteor
will certainly take part and he will
afterwards stay for the CoWes week.
London is contemplating a gigantic
water supply scheme to meet the
needs of the city up to the year 1861,
when it is estimated that at the pres
ent rate of increase the population of
the British metropolis will be &c.
500, 900 -
The cost Of supplying water to this
huge multitude win be comparatively
cheap, the estimate for the complete
whole expenses being not more than
$S,25O.OO0
A huge reservoir is to be formed
near Reading, about forty miles from
London. The valley of a tributary OF
the Thames is to be damned up, TO
form a lake with capacity of 49,
000,0G0,000 gallons This is to pro-
vide for the water supply Of London
up to l941. when the estimated popu-
lation will be 9,50O,000.
To meet the wants of London in
1861 the dam will be raised to 100
fe making a reservoir of 55.000,OO0
mt.
Of the lake will be 9la square miles
and its circumference more than fifty
miles.
