English Vicar, With SoCialiStiC
Ideas, Victim of Puritan
Prejudice.

London, Oct. 1S.-Being of the opinion
that people should enjoy themselves OF
Sundays as much as on week days, Tho
Rev. E. G. Maxted. vicar Of Tilty, neal
Dunmow, Essex, who is a Socialist. gave
garden party to his Pensioners at the
vicarage on Sunday. The vicar said he
did not support the method az present
largely in vogue in this country. of Sun
day observance. England was still very
much under the domination of Puritan
ism In the way Sunday was kept, and in
that respect Socialists were strongly anti
Puritan, for they believed in the people
thoroughly enjoying themselves on the
Sabbath as well as on other days. With
that object, he said, he had decided tO
hold his Socialist garden party on a Sun
day afternoon, when the men were free
from work and able to attend.
The following day when the Rev. Max
ted attempted to hold a meeting in Dun
NOW market place he was subjected to
a fierce attack. An angry crowd suTged
around his platform and swept him off his
feet The police came upon the scene and
prevented personal violence. although the
vicar and his chairman were pelted with
rotten eggs. stones and flour.
All argument was lost on the crowd
which was bitterly hostile, and on the adj
vice of the police the vicar left the meet
ing. He had not proceeded far on his
way hOmewards when he was attacke

Speaking to Il press representative the
vicar complained strongly of the cowardly
attack which had been made on him. and
said that he intended to apply formally
for police protection. He considered ii
reprehensible that he should thus be at
tackled upon the highway, but in spite
of this, he said, he should continue his
crusade for Socialism.
The matrimonial intentions of the Duke
of the Abruzzi, cousin of the King of
Italy, are again attracting attention. The
duke is between two stools-love and
duty If he decides that love shall pre-
vail and marries the girl of his heart,
then he will offend very important per-
sOnage, who is anxious that he shall wed
an English princess. But the duke has
strong will of his own, and so far has
refused to entertain for a single moment
the proposed English alliance. 1t is even
stated that he has prevailed upon the
King of Italy to help him to marry Miss
katherine Elkins by sending him on a dip
lomatic mission to the United States.

The order for a new Atlantic liner
which will in some ways outstrip the
Mauretanis has been entrusted to the
Wigham Richardson and the Wallsend
slipway company, the two firms which
built the present recOrd-breal1er. The first
named firm will build the hull of the
new ship and the latter the engines.
The vessel, which is intended to b a
relief steamer to the Mauretania and
Lusitania. will measure 500 feet by 10
