SHIP LINE FOR THE RICH
American MiIllonaires Seek Privacy
During Ocean Trips Between This
Country and Europe.

It would seem that American mil.
iionaires are becoming extraordinarily
reserved and exclusive and they are
beginning to object to travelling on the
ordinary boats which voyage between
America and Europe.
/ I'VE have variety Of objections to
this mode OF travelling" said Harry
Payne Whitney, who with big party
OF friends arrived in England the 9th
er day from New York. 'The first Is
that even when you engage private
suites at the cost of $3.50 apiece, as
did for myself and my guests, the &C.
commodation Is not all that it might
be and one has not the sense Of priv

The upshot is that a number of mil.
lionaires which includes the Pierpont
,Morgans. the Vanderbilts. the Ogden
Millses. etc.. are putting their heads
together with the idea of building q
few palatial floating mansions for their

Great Britain's New COINAGE.

With reference to the suggestion
that the inscription of Britain's new
coinage should be in English instead
of Latin, one may recall a precedent.
During the Commonwealth, most Of
the coins minted bore English inscrip-
tons. and an Irish half-penny issued
by Charles II. bore the English words
God Save the King" 1t was Charles
H., by the way, who first provided
copper coinage, while Henry III. was
responsible for the Introduction of
gold into the mint. AS early as the
