MADE A FORTUNE IN TIPS.

Having amassed a snug fortune
from the tips of princes and American
millionaires whose confidential guide
and adviser he has often been during
the last thirteen years, Rost, the chief
porter of the Carlton hotel has retired
from his position and entered upon a
commercial career.
The fortune he has earned from his
tips alone, for he received no salary,
he has invested in land just south of
London, which he intends to develop
as real estate agents at New York
and other American cities develop
American suburbs,
When l saw him yesterday in his
new offices almost opposite the Carl
ton, he said:
81 made a fortune at the Carlton,
and have bought land, What better
investment could / have?
London now has 100000 people.
She can't help growing. In a few
years she will be 100000. There is
only one London and only one Eng
land. 1t is the center of finance. The
English make the world work for
them. They invest their money abroad,
and it comes back in interest at 10
and II per cent. When other parts
OF the world prosper the people in
London draw the proceeds.
81 have no politics No country in
the world can make money like Eng.
land The social standard has gone
up. The man of moderate means
now wants house of his own with a
garden. l am going to cut my estate
up and sell it freehold to the man who
wants to build his own house"

cURZoN STILL GRlEVES OVER
DEATH OF WIFE.

LONDON, July 29-Lord Curzon of
Kedleston has given a succession of
small house parties to relatives and
immediate friends at lakewood,
fine old lingo Jones mansion, which
he has occupied for some time on a
lease from Lord Bolton. His sister-in-
law, Lady Suffolk Miss Daisy Letter.
sometimes acts as hostess for him. 1t
is three little girls the youngest of
whom is a god-daughter of Queen
Alexandra, are all devoted to her, and
according to popular opinion it is she
who attends to their wardrobes and
engages governesses as well. At mack
wood there is a picture of the late
Lady Curzon at every turn Friends
believe that Lord Curzon never quite
recovered from grief over his wifes
death and they add, he never will.
Pretty much the same may be re-
marked Of Lady Curzons own family.
In describing it, one of the intimates
said: 1T seemed as though with one
fell stroke the spirit was taken out
of all the Letter family"

SUICIDE EPIDEMls AT ST. PET
ERSBURG.

ST. PETERSBURG, July $3.50
cieties Of medical men and others are
being formed to combat the plague of
suicide which threatens to become
epidemic in st. Petersburg. In one
day, for instance, no fewer than elev-
en- cases were recorded in the news
papers.
The victims included a policeman,
who blew out his brains on the bank
of the Neva, and a young baron aged
sixteen. The majority belonged to
the working class, and seven were
twenty-siX years of age or under.
Five poisoned themselves, two shot
themselves, one man cut his throat
another threw himself under a train,
and in two cases drowning was the
method of selfdestruction chosen.

scIENTIEIc MATCHMAKING.

PARIS, July 29.-How to produce
such an ideal strain of royalty in Eu-
rope as to prevent the monarchical
system becoming discredited-tha is
the task French savants have set
themselves.
The recent engagement of the pref
tiest royal Princess in Europe, Prin-
cess Elizabeth, daughter of the Crown
Prince of Roumania, with Prince
George, son of the Crown Prince Con-
stantine of Greece, and the rumors as
to the matrimonial intentions of the
Prince of Wales and Princess Victoria
Louise of Prussia, have riveted pub
lie attention once more on the mating
of royalties.

BEAUTIES HIRE UGLY SERVANTS

PARIS, July 29.-The old nursery
story of Beauty and the Beast" has
just been revived by the fashionable
beauties Of Paris in a way calculated
to accentuate their charms, They are
surrounding themselves with the ugli-
est maid servants imaginable. Their
constant companions are the most
hideous pets imaginable.
One celebrated beauty, Mile. Manon
Lott, has engaged dwarf who is de-
scribed as having "a tremendous
head, a malevolent expression and
hardly any legs" and Mile Lott takes
him out walking with her every after
noon in order that his very ugliness
will emphasize her own beauty all
the more

aspect, Dublin castle is an ancient
citadel in a new dress, and full of his
toric interest of varied kinds, in ac-
cordance with the leading part it has
so long played in the unhappy and
troubled history of Ireland.
1t may be noted just now as of
special interest that during the vice
royalty of Richard Plantagenet, Duke
of York, George, Duke of Clarence,
the brother of Edward w and Rich
ard III was born at Dublin castle in
1449. Dublin castle is essentially sui
generis, a citadel, viceregal residence
and many other things besides.
1t has most interesting history.
On Old Fortress Site.
Sir G. T, Gilbert, one of the great
est authorities on such things, states
that Dublin castle, or at least a por-
ton of the pile of buildings socalled,
stands where the Norwegians first
built a fortress in $40. Then came
the Danes, about $40, whom the peo-
pie of the land called "Dubhga-ill," or
"black foreigners" and slaughter en-
sued.
Ancient Irish history gives us a
record of one fight after another till
in 1850, Desmond, King of Leinster,
who had been banished from the coun-
try by a neighboring king, came back
with a license from King Henry II
permitting his English, Norman,
Scotch and Welsh subjects to assist
him Desmond) in recovering Lem
ster.
A fine time of fighting ensued, till
we find the King of England writing
from his palace in London to his be
loved and faithful subject" the loru
justice of Ireland, commanding him
to erect a castle in Dublin in such a
place as you shall Judge most expedi-
ent, as well to curb the city as to de-
fend it if occasion shall require" In
1918 the castle was finished.
Archives in Old Prison.
The fine southwestern tower which
stands today and was for years used
as prison and later was where the
archives were kept, is called the Ber-
mingham tower, on account of it's
having been the prisons of Sir Will
liam de Bermingahm and his son,
Walter. This tower was partially re-
built in IT'S owing to its being in
jured by an explosion. Part of this
tower forms supper room for roy
atty at any great entertainments Civ.
en- in the castle, and the basement
forms the castle kitchens. In olden
times within the precincts of the cas-
tie was mint, chapel and mill
In the year 1907, when the Knights
Templars, who had their abode at
Kilmainham, were seized and all their
valuable property confiscated, Sir
John Wogan incarcerated all the
knights in the castle of Dublin.
Today the interest in the castle lies
in st. Patrick's hall, which is a noble
apartment upholstered in crimson
poplin. All around the hall are the
banners of the knights of st. Patrick.
These banners date only since the
disestablishment of the Irish church.
the last installation in st. Patricks
cathedral being that of his late mai
esty, Edward VII.

ONLY ONE WIFE IN TRANsvAAL

CAPE TOWN, July 29.-In connec-
ton with the application of Mahom-
medan woman, Sir j. Vessels recent
ly decided that no person could bring
into the Transvaal more than one wife.
A protest has now been made by the
Indian community to General SHUTS,
minister of the interior.
1t is pointed out that polygamy is a
recognized institution in India, and
the hope is expressed that the former
practice will be allowed to continue
in spite of the judges decision.

pie of England an object lesson, show
ing them that in spite of all their
wealth they are absolutely dependent
on other countries for their food.
When the strike had lasted only lit
tie over a week and the ports of Hull
and Grimsby had been closed to the
imports of bacon, eggs, butter and
grain from the three scandinavian
countries, the people of the whole
northern part of the country began to
feel the pangs of starvation.
Warnings of the strike had been
many and in shipping and industrial
circles it must have been known that
it was coming, but nobody paid any
attention to it. Like the nobility of
France during the years that preceded
the great revolution, the people of
England refused to see the threaten
ing clouds; one thing only was of inn
portance, the browning of a king, who
is nothing but a mere figurehead, and
when finally the storm burst it found
the large cities of north England alb
solutely unprepared. No food supplies
of any kind were on hand; the great
warehouses contained provisions of all
kinds only for a few days, and, when
the daily arrival of steamers from
abroad was suddenly interrupted, the
people of England found themselves in
the same situation as the inhabitants
of Paris in 1871, after a siege of many
months. The leaders of the strike
were certainly very considerable, for
had they chosen they might have ruin
ed the whole coronation.
The events of the last few weeks
| have shown that the strikers might
have bottled up the city Of London
completely, and the king and all his
, guests would have had a very bad
time of it, if indeed it would not have
: been necessary to POSTPONE the whole
show, Probably the strike leaders were
wise in not bringing about what the
snobs would have considered a ma
tional calamity, especially as they
won the fight without having to put on
the screw very tight.
Effect May Prove Serious.
Now the strike has been settled, but
its effects are apt to prove very Sc
rious, for it has shown the masses the
enormous power they WELD when they
stand shoulder to shoulder, determin-
ed to make fight for living wages
and humane treatment. The organic
ing of labor will from now on pro-
Igress rapidly in England, and the high
and mighty have every reason to look
forward, with fear and apprehension,
for events that are to come are throw
ing their shadows before them.
Probably nothing is filling the
hearts of the upper classes with great
err anxiety than the fact that the gen
eral fermentation has spread to the
E British navy. In a Portsmouth paper
| the other day l read an astounding
= letter which shows the direction of
the rising breeze. The writer, who is
| serving in the navy, demands for the
men of the lower deck more wages,
better food, better messing arrange
ments, more liberty, less class distinc-
ton, that all important offenses be
tried by jury in a civil court, that
small offenses be punished only by
stoppage of wages temporarily, a
wholesale reduction of the powers of
officers and numerous other reforms
that are long overdue"
