shares for 81 500. 00G. netting a sum
which enabled her 10 take up all the
outstanding obligations against the
Warwick estate in the form OF bonds
and stocks.
In the financial district II is stated
that the Rothschllds bought the Coun-
tess Warwick Trust securities, while
another uncomfortable story said that
w. W. Aston had bought the countess
shares. but Londons Wall-st. district
inclines Co the belief thaJ II was the
RothsChilds, and not Aston Now, at-
ter many years. the countess Is free
from debt--a blissful state for her, as
she no longer goes 10 court and Is un-
der no obligation TO the sovereign.
The countess remains true To So
cialism. To which she became q con
vert several years ago. She Is a prac-
teal Socialist. because she frequently
makes cart-tail speeches in Whitechap-
ell and other slum districts where the
Socialist party is seeking recruits.
The countess Essex estates include
many churches, OF which she retains
the feudal privilege of appointing the
minister and she is now applying her
Socialistic principles TO the appoint
ment OF the parsons 10 the churches
which she controls. The countess has
the appointing power OF the following
livings on her widespreading estates;
Great Easton rectory, Little Easton
rectory, Passenham rectory, ThaNted
vicarage, Thornton vlcarage and THY
vicarage.
The countess intends 10 I'LL all these
churches with Socialistic parsons. she
has already installed Socialistic cler'
gymen i'm several churches and the
village children attend Sunday school
wearing red Jerseys.
The children are notable as the
countess kids because they have
become SO independent that they new
er don their hats or bow TO the quail
ily they meet on the high road. The
countess has apparently taught the
children OF her retainers that they
have little obligation 10 their alleged
superiors.
May Isabel Fisk. the monologist, has
discovered that the English people
don't like any criticism OF their man
ners and customs from an American.
Miss Fisk came 10 London for the
purpose of entertaining the aristoc-
racy with her latest American stories,
and a London editor engaged her 10
write a series OF articles giving her
impressions OF London lie and man
ners.
Miss Fisk wrote three articles IN
which she told the English all about
their shortcomings, as seen from
New Workers. point OF view. She dis
agreed with most writing visitors who
while decrying Englishwomen' man
ners and dress, laud their appearance.
Miss Fisk declared that she found
Englishmen the worst dressed men in
The world. and said that with few eX
ceptiOns they are anaemic and under
sized AS 10 the Englshwomen's dress
and their abilities as wives and house
keepers. Miss Fisk denounced these
racily.
Doyle Gets Angry.
Her three articles have reused and
angered England. and the paper has
been deluged with letters protesting
against the publication of these criti-
cisms. Even the genial Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle has permitted himself To
become angry enough to write a 200
word letter TO the editor protesting
against Miss Fisk's criticisms. As
Sir Arthur ordinarily gels shilling
a word for everything he writes 70"
publication. the extent OF his indigna-
ton may be measured. The novelist
wrote:
Every nation has its shrews and
its grumblers. The English ones go
to America and make mischief the
American ones do the same here
Each has such a narrow mind that
because an Englishman may drop his
his too freely and an American his ex.
pectoration. he or she cannot realize
that the one has built up the greatest
OF all modern nations and the other
dominates a quarter OF the globe with
its law and its language.
These petty and malevolent critics
OF either nation would be impotent for
evil II IL were not that newspapers on
either side OF the Atlantic give them
space for their twaddle and SO perturb
the good feelings, which should exist
as the reader confounds, in spite OF
any editorial disclaimers, the contrib
utor and the journal. am sorry that
