mttee
Difference OF Views.
While the delegation is practically
unanimous that Mr.. Woodruff cannot

whether It Is practicable TO attempt to

Law and the Queen.

The quaintness of many provisions
OF British law is curiously illustrated
in the status Of the queen of England
So far as her majesty's private bust
ness Is concerned. she is not regarded
by the laws and customs Of England
as married woman at all. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope Of the mar
ried woman's property act. The idea
in all this is that affairs of state con-
sumo all the time of the king. and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. II the queen contracted debts in
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them. as any other
husband In the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt. but
the queen can be. Should the king die
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again. in case she
wished to. without the license Of the
kings successor.-NewY York Tribune.

The Rev. Clarence Godfrey en retir-

would try to 'telepath" a phantasm
OF himself to lady living in another
part of the city, tells H. Arlington
Bruce in Success Magazine. For about
ten minutes he endeavored in thought
to appear to her At the end of that
time he fell asleep.
About four hours later the lady on
whom he had been 'exerting his will''
awoke with an impression that she
had heard a curious sound She felt
nervous and uneasy and thought that
If she went downstairs and took q

Brown, who lives in Fifth avenue,

Unfortunately that night Browns
wife returned late from the opera.
She saw the rare wine and had it put
down in the wine cellar along with the
twelve dozen other bottles of Chateau
