 One of our dashing comedians was en- deavoring to dazzle the worldly manager of a North London music hall the other day by the alleged magnifcence of the prospects offered by his forthcoming en- gagement in America.

Rice at Weddings.

People often talk about the danger of throwing rice at weddings. Occasion ally a bride or bridegroom, or perhaps the vicar of a particular church, will ask that the custom shall not be ob- served.
 But in Germany they have gone far ther. The reigning Duke Leopold Frederick of Anhalt, noticing that in his capital of Dessau several serious acci- dents-some of them with fatal results happened through rice being thrown, issued 8 decree entirely prohibiting the custom anywhere in his domlnons.
 People say that his example will very likely be followed by the rulers of oth- CT German states. And the Kaiser him. self has written to Duke Leopold warmly approving of his action. There may even be al imperial decree prohibiting the throwing of rice at weddings all over the German empire.

Effect of Earthquakes.

Concerning the probable effect of earth quaxes on the canal about which Colonel Goethals says much has been written the report states that the last earthquake of any importance in Panama occurred in the seventeenth century and that ex- isting ruins in Panama demonstrate clear ly that no shock of any violence could have occurred during the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries
 Again reverting to the question of a sea level canal, Colonel Goethals says that the idea appeals to the popular mind, (which pictures an open ditch of- fering free and unobstructed navigation from sea to sea, but no such substi- ute is offered for the present lock canal As between the sea level and the lock canal. the latter can be constructei~-in less time, at less cost, will give easier and safer navigation, and in addition se- cure such a control of the Chagres river as to make a friend and aid of what re- mains an enemy and menace in the sea level type.
 Colonel Goethals, in concluding, pays a high tribute to his employees. The organ ization for the prosecution of the work he says, approaches the perfection of a huge machine and the manner in which the work is being done and the spirit of enthusiasm that is manifested by all forcibly strikes everyone who visits the works. "The main object of our being there" he says, lis the construction of the canal; everything else is subordinate to 1t, and the work of every department is directed to the accomplishment of that object"
 After declaring the canal zone to be one of the healthiest communities in the world Colonel Goethals concludes. T as- sure you that several years hence. no later than January l, 1915, even the most ardent sea level advocate will, in mak- ing the voyage through the canal, admit that the ability to navigate a battleship at a high rate of speed through the lake and wide channel from Gatun to Pedro Miguel far outweighs the small incon- veniences of the safe lockages up to and down from the summit level"

SHE REsISTS THE Law.
Lady Frances Broome Is Deprived of
Her Job as ~Executrix.

Santa Barbara, Cal. March 30-Not
having made an accounting of the
estate for IS years, Lady Frances
Broome has been removed by the
court here as executrix of the $780,
900 estate left by her husband. Her
eldest son, Thornhill, who petitioned
the court for an accounting, was made
special administrator. Lady Broome
is an English woman whose eccen-
tricities have long kept her in the pub
lie eye. She ignored the court order
to have an attorney, saying that she
could find none she. could trust The
defendant collapsed in court and re-
manned long, weeping bitterly. Other
heirs of the estate are Amy, daugh-
ter, and Montague, a son. The prop
erty consists of $4,000 acres near Ven
tura and property in Buxton, England.
The family is well known in San
Francisco, New York and London.
Mrs. Bro Dome lost considerable proper
ty here on her refusal to be amenable
to American law procedures. She al
lowed her home in the city to be sold
rather than pay $3.50 for street work.
Since then $4,000 has been refused
for the property. During this row
with the contractor Mrs. Broome was
sentenced to one hour in Jail, which
| she served. Again she allowed a
$4,000 house to go by default. She
also lost a carriage rather than pay a
court reporters bill.
Thornhill, the son, says the mother
disinherited him and refuses to speak
| to him. Lord Broome died in 1891.
