the first jewelry store was started in
the city of Chang On about 1900 years
ago. The Celestial millionaires of that

Alexandra of Fife Affected by Dethron-

The dethroning of King Manuel of
Portugal had one effect that has re-

it means a great deal to a young girl
who may be an cid mGld in conse-

This girl is the Princess Alexandra
of Fife, niece of King George of Eng
land. Had it not been for the late
King Edward and her father, the Duke
of Fife, she would have been queen
of Portugal, and there is possibility
that this might have prevented the
revolution, for the Portuguese people
are keenly alive to the value of an al
lance with England because Of their
great trade in port wine and fruit with
the British isles.
When Manuel visited England in
1909 it was with the avOwed intention
of selecting a bride with wealth. He
picked Alexandra, and the choice re-
ceived the approval of both Queen
Amelia and the Duchess of Fife, but

is the one who exposed them, Miss.
Emily W. Dinwiddie, for years sec

nittee of the Charity Organization So
ciety.
Trinity. in addition to its architecture
al beauty and historical associations,
is known as the richest church in the
world. it's property consisting of acres
of tenements on the lower west side
of Manhattan Island comprising what
originally was the Trinity farm. De-
spite the religious character of the
Trinity corporation the tenements were
allowed to run to the lowest ebb of
hygienic repair, and this excited much
criticism a few years ago.
The first and most powerful critic
was Miss Dinwiddie. who was instruct
ed by the Charity Organization society
to thoroughly investigate Trinity's ten
ement conditions and report. She did
so. and her article was illustrated by
photographs showing some of the most
broken down and poverty infested
houses owned by the church.
Naturally the story caused a great
frrore and the newspapers followed
with severe arrangements of the man
agement which permitted a church
from which Christianity was preached
to violate those ethics with it's tenants.
Something had to be done, and Trim
itys rector, the Rev. W. T. Manning,
was the man who did it. He 1nstftut-
ed reform, and the first move was
to dispel the veil of secrecy which
