graphic message from King Edward
commanding him as a friend and sub
ject to run the Erin over to South
ampton and pick up Mrs. George KEEP
pei for cruise as she was almost
broken down by her many social
duties. The king announced that he
would join the yacht later for short
cruise as the guest of Sir Thomas.
Immediately on receipt of the mes
sage Sir Thomas announced to Miss
Corelli that there was to be another
guest taken on board the yacht. Miss
Corelli inquired who the guest was to
be and Sir Thomas explained that
Mrs. Keppel was to join the company
at southampton and that later King
Edward would come aboard.
With a firmness characteristic of
her, Miss Corelli promptly told Sir
Thomas that she would end her visit
aboard the yacht as soon as the YES
sci touched at Southampton. This
announcement shocked Sir Thomas.
and as her host he demanded that
Miss Corelli give a reason for the
abrupt termination of a cruise that
had been arranged especially for her
benefit.
Miss Corelli gave some trivial ex-
cuse that did not satisfy Sir Thomas
and finally told him fatty that she
had no desire to meet Mrs. Keppel
She asked him to put her ashore and
allow the incident to be closed. for
she in no way blamed him for arrang-
ing to take other guests aboard dur
ing the cruise to which she had been
invited
Sir Thomas was deeply affected by
Miss Corelli's attitude and believed
that his duty as host was above
that as friend and subject of the
king. 1t is also said that he was in.
fiuenced by his admiration for the at.
dtude OF Miss Corelli In daring to
refuse to meet one of the most bril-.
liant women in England, whose favor
is courted almost as much as that of
the kings.
He told Miss Corelli that she should
finish the cruise. remaining ON board
until entirely restored to health. and
that he would offer some excuse for
not proceeding to SOUTHAMPTON IL
take Mrs. Keppel aboard. This he
did and it explains why the friendship
of the king for the. Irish baronet has
been severed

sir Thomas Refuses to Take Edwards
Friend, Mrs. keppeI, Aboard Yacht
on Which Marie coreIii
Was His Guest.

London.-Sir Thomas Upton. who
went to New York last month to ask
for modification of the rules govern
ing contests for the Americas cup in
order that he might challenge for the
fourth time, did not carry the high
hopes and favor of King Edward
which aided him in former years.
This in no wise affects the feelings
or the British public, which greatly
admfres Sir Thomas as a sportsman
undismayed by three defeats. On the
contrary, his popularity has increased
since he announced his intention to
try again for the much-coveted cup.
1t was the discriminating gallantry
of Sir Thomas Upton on an occasion
when he was placed in an unenviable
posltfon-a story that has never be-
fore been told outside of the inner
most court circles-which cost him
the Intimate friendship and support
OF the king in his yachting ventures.
Two noted women-Marie Corelli
the novelist, and the Hon. Mrs. George
Keppel, famous beauty, wit and friend
of King Edward and Queen Alexandra
placed Sir Thomas Upton in the 20
sition of modern Paris, and, as host
of Miss Corelli, Sir Thomas Upton
made decision in her favor.
Mrs. Keppel learned of this and
complained to the king. and from that
moment Sir Thomas Upton ceased to
interest his majesty. There has
been no open rupture-no hint in
clubs nor at court that Sir Thomas
is persona non grata to the king
but whether in his present venture,
without the support of the king, the
Royal Ulster Yacht club, under whose
colors he formerly challenged, will
aid him, remains to be disclosed.
Sir Thomas is a great personal
friend and admirer of Marie Corelli,
and when he heard that she was al
most broken down from overwork, he
invited her to take a trip on his yacht
for rest and recuperation. Miss
Corelh accepted and when the yacht
had laziiy cruised about for a week
and ner health had been partly re-
stored, Sir Thomas received a tele-

TO DESTROY AN AIRsHIP.

The Airship Destroyer.

addition 1t must be possible to move
the gun from place to place in the
shortest time.
The automobile illustrated herewith
complies with these many and diff
cult requirements. It\has been built
by the famous Krupp concern and
was exhibited in the recent interna-
uonal aero show at Frankfort. The
fact that the gun is rather long fav-
ors high speed for the proiectile.
Above it is brake with a LIQUID and
air compressor. When shot is to be
fired the boiling of the gun is olsen
gagged and the latter slides out by
the expansion of the air. The total
weight of the car is 4,315 Kilograms,
and that of the gun alone $50 kilo-
grams. A so horsepower engine is
mounted under the hood and propels
the vehicle with a speed of 20 miles
an hour-average. All four wheels are
connected with the motor, and thus
any rough ground and steep grades
can be overcome. On the platform
seats for five men are provided and
room for 80 cartridges.
The cartridges deserve some de-
scription, as they have some novel
features. 1t is necessary to watch the
path of a projectile if applied to a
balloon. Shrapnel hit only the cover
and these holes are mostly closed
again by the inner gas pressure, so
that not much gas escapes. The best
result comes from brisance grenades,
which explode inside the balloon and
not only hit the envelope, but ignite
the gas. Thus an airship will be com
pletely wrecked, as the photograph
shows. Another valuable feature is
that each projectile contains a burner
ignited as it leaves the gun, and this
produces a wake of black smoke,
showing the line of fight by night or
day.

Sampson, Senator Hoar and ex-Gov
Boutwell, visited the place he drove
them through the town in it. Sixty

men of Europe, governors, senators
have driven from Boston to Marshfield

visit the great American statesman.
The same coach has carried equally
distinguished men to the little plot in
the Marshfieid cemetery at the time
of the memorial services held in his
honor.
In this same cemetery Gov. Josiah
Winslow is buried, also Peregrine

Copper ard has lately been at B1ng-

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 4-The
senate committee on irrigation anc.
Chief F. H. Newell of the reclama-
tion service, got into Salt Lake City
today after inspecting the Strawberry
irrigation project and meeting with
the water users association at Span
ish Fork. The visitors were enter
tanned at an informal dinner at the
Alta club by Senator George Suther-
land this evening. Before leaving
for Nevada tomorrow, they will go
out to Fort Douglass SO that SEN
ator Warren of Wyoming, who is
chairman of the committee on mil
itary affairs, can inspect the post.
Fallon, New, will be the next point
visited ON irrigation matters.
Speaking for the committee, SEN
ator Carter said that all were con-
cerned about securing funds to hast
en- the completion of projects now
under way In order that the. fund
might be reimbursed by payments
from settlers. Forty or fifty million
dollars would, he thought, finish the
work in progress. Interest bearing
warrants issued against the fund, to-
gether with the income from the sale
of public lands, have been considered
as means of raising ready money.
