LONDON SOCIETY.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

LONDON. May l8.-In these pre-coro-
nation days it is astonishing to note the
really extensive and serious attention
that is given by the English press and
people to the share that Americans, resi-
dent and visiting, are expected to take in
an affair 50 peculiarly British.
For instance, q discussion IL in progress
as to who may BE acclaimed the loveliest.
the most popular or the richest American
peeress-something after the fashion of
the oldtime game Of forfeits. In the
matter Of beauty the award seems
strongly tending toward the Viscountess
Maidstone, who was Miss Marguerite
Drexel, and who will be the Countess of
Winchelsea and Nottingham, her hus-
band being heir to that historic earldom.
1t IL recalled that In her early girl
hood John 8. Sargent, the painter, pro-
nounced her and her brother. Armstrong
Drexel, the "handsomest youngsters in
London" and 1t Is noted that In her ma
turfty she Is as lovely as she was when
Sargent paid her that compliment.
AS a matter of fact, maturity Is only
a term, for Lady Maidstone Is still in
her early twenties and a glimpse Of her
in Bond street awakens the belief that
she viii rank high with the historical
beauties of London

LAST VETERAN OF
 JAC|NTO IS DEAD

Houston, Tex, July 15.-(Special)- Alonzo Steele, the last survivor of the battle of San Jacnto In 1SS6 when Texas won her independence from Mexico, is dead at the age of 94 years. Death came suddenly at the aged veterans home at kosse.
 When in Houston last April to attsn1 the dedication of monument to the memory of Gen. Sam Houston, Steeie for the last time recalled the incidents of the famous battle 70 years ago when on the battle ground of San Jacinto, Santa Anna and lc00 Mexicans were defeate1 and utterly routed by 7S7 Texans under command Of Gen. Sam Houston.
 Steele was in Colonel Sherman's regi- ment, constituting the left wing of HouS- tons army. During the advance upon the Mexicans in the battle of San Jaein:o Steele received bullet over the heart just as he raised his gun to fire upon Mexican just few feet ahead Of him. He fell and h,s comrades left him in the charge and roLt of the enemy.
 A struggling Texan stumbled over Steele and finding him alive gave him wate-. This revived Steele and he attempted 10

COTTON PACKERS
 BUSY IN TEXAS

San Antonio, Tex, July 15.-(Special.)-
 Cotton picking has begun In earnest all over the entire southwest section of Texas and the indications are that the crop will! be greater than for several years. The first bale of Bexar county, of which San Antonio Is the county seat, was ginne1 on July 12 but 1t was only the first by about two minutes, as several other cotton grow CTS were in the race for the first bale and several bales were placed upon the mar ket that day. This early picking and ginning breaks the record of last year by almost two weeks. The price paid for
 the first new cotton was 13ss cents per pound. This came from land seven miles south of this city, which will easily pro-
 duce bale of 800 pounds, or more, per acre. One cotton expert when he saw the first picking placed on the market, said: With conditions so favorable ana picking begun so early I am quite sure that Texas will come very close to four million bales this year and will hold it's place in the production of one-thrd of the entire cotton crop of the country"

Denver, Col, July 15.-Attorneys for Harold F. Henwood. convicted of second degree murder for the killing of George F, Copeland, in hotel bar the night of May "A. while shooting at g. L. Von Phul, the St. Louis balloonist, believe they have unearthed more evidence that will prove os value for Henwood should he be grant ed another trial. John T. Carver, an em- rloye for a moving and storage concern, made affidavit that on the night of the l1enwood shooting affray he was stand ing outside the Broadway entrance of the Brown Palace bar when he heard one man say to another, 'I would have killed .Ec - in my room, but he didn't have a gun and l didn't dare. But I'll get him yet"
 The other man. Carver declared, warned the speaker to be careful, receiving the reply: i've got influence enough to put 1t over" Carver says he followed the men into the bar and asked who the two men were. He said he was told the man who made the threat was Tony Von Phul The other man, he said, was un- known to his informer

W|NbURN WRITES ID CORN GROWERS Nearly 5000 Boys COmpet- ing for the Corn Club
 Prizes

Vice President w. A Winburn of the Central of Georgia Railway company an nounces that nearly 5000 boys are com pcting for the Boys Corn club prizes in Georgia and Alabama in the counties through which the Central passes. The prize consist of s25 in each county and a $250 mule in each state. MT. Winblrn has written the following letter to thsse boys:
 'To members of the Central of Geor gia
 Railway Boys Corn Clubs in Alabama:
 ''Now that your school duties are over and you have more time to devote 10 your rrize acre of corn I wish to say few words to you on the subject.
 1T assume, in the first place, that yo1 are exerting every effort not only to win the s25 county prize. but that you arc also working to win the $250 mule, which goes to the boy who makes the best show ing, under the rules, in all of the 21 counties that the Central of Georgia rail way runs through in Alabama.
 "Tle contest offers yo1 a great op- portun'.y. It is not only possible for ,ou to win a substantial reward, but your success will be source of pride to your parents, friends and neighbors. If you will strictly apply yourself tc this worls and folow the instructions that have been given you for the care of your crop. 1t will be sure to serve you in fu,9 . years and entitle you to respect as a successful farmer Even if you should fail on account of soil or local conditions, to win either of these prizes, the corn that you will produce on this acre of Ia l l will all ply repay you for your trouble ana lapor, and you will have valuab'e

knowledge to guide you in thefuture in the cultivation of larger crops.
 q want to emphasize some of the in- structons that you now have. particular ly the importance of frequent shallow cultivation. calk your attention to the fact that the prize winners in 13 states last year cultivated their corn moro than six tiraes, while Jerry Moore, the South Carolina boy who had the distinction Of making the largest crop of any of the boys in the southern states, cultivated his crop Il times. This cultivation should be male at least every ten days. parric- ularly after rains. You will get the pest results if you keep the surface soil well stirred, so as to hold the moisture.
 "rhe object of cultivation after rains is to avoid the forming of a hard crast, and to prevent the natural moisture from escaping in dry weather when it is needed to feed the plant. Do not cultivate too deep. If you go down more than two inches, you are likely to cut the tiny roots lying near the surface and GU. off part of the food supply of the plant. II thc iooto dic tio5c lC tho SUI iioSS' OiiS inch is deep enough to cultivate. The use of the harrow, the cultivator, or the sweep Is advised for cultivation purposes
 Flat or heel sweeps are much better than long sharp pointed scooters.
 .I hope yol have not overlooked fertil-
 zng your crop since it came up. When the ears begin to set. all stalks that are weak or diseased should be cut out. They will produce nothing and will take up the plant food that the healthy stalks would otherwise get. q am anxious to know how your CT )p is doing, but you need not trouble about replying to this letter, unless you wish to do so as MT. Duncan, the organi- ger for the Boys Corn clubs in Alabams, will soon send you 8 blank for repor, and if you will fill that out properly and
 promptly and send it to him, I will get the information from him.
 T am very glad to see so many boys interested in these improved farm meth ods and contestine for these prizes. it is very important to you individually and to the state at large, that the aver age yields of af farm crops should be increased.

Steele told his com panion to shoot one of them. but when he demurred Steele took his rifle and snot one down. The other ran away. Latec Steele was carried to the camp of the victorious Texans.
 After he told his story he was asked if he ever felt nady over killing that Mex ican. He sal.
 No; that was just what I went thers to do. If l had been at myself and able to take care af them l might have taNen them prisoners but l was not able to inNe any prisoners that day.

slider that you are cultiyating one acre of land on which you expect to make at least 100 bushels of corn, and that on an average throughout the entire state the production last year was only IS bushels to the acre.
 What yol are accomplishing in a small way, you can, of course, accomplish just as easily in a large way; and what you can do, others can do, if they unders ta nt the proper methods of fertilizing and odl- tivating their crops, and observe these methods.
