London, September 2.-(Special.)-It is not at all impossible that annual courts at Dublin and Edinburgh will be a feature of the reign of King George So success full were the courts recently held at the Irish and Scotch capitals, so cordial was the reception of the King and Queen by the people of the two kingdoms that it is understood his majesty is very seriously considering an annual visit to the capitals and Scotland have been called during the recent political unheaval.
 That such action would be immensely popular there can be no doubt.
 If I may be indulged in close approach to the line of politics I will say that the ladies of aristocracy know that the con- stitutional crisis has passed without the creation of hundreds of new peers. It is no secret that the women exerted very powerful influence in preventing the re- jection of the parliament bill by the house of lords. They had no relish for seeing their titles cheapened, if not indeed made ridiculous by the flooding of the peerage and some of them made quiet but active and effective campaign to prevent 1t.
 The great geniality shown by King George on the occasions of the many pub lie appearances he has made during the last few months has been much com mented on, as before he came to tho throne there had been a general tendency to regard him as rather reserved and un- demonstrative in demeanor. But now adays he seems to enter into everything with tremendous zest and a spirit of tte keenest enjoyment. Nearly every snap shot taken of him since the coronation shows him with broad smile about which

there is not the slightest suggestion of artificiality.
 Apropos of the announcement of the en- gagement of Colonel Astor to a young girl in America hear an interesting riece Of gossip here which may or may not be true. It is to the effect that the engage ment of Mrs. Ava Astor to Maj. j.-Gen. John Cowans of the British army may soon be announced.
 It is certain that General Cowans Is very attentive to the fair American ard such an announcement would cause little surprise. He Is one of the coming men in the British army. He served as chief of staff to Lord Kitchener in Egypt and is now director general of the territorial forces
 It is also rumored that Lord Kitchener himself may take unto himself an Amer ican wife in the person of Lady Nayier- Leyland, who was Miss Jennie Chamber lain of Cleveland, o. Lord Kitchener has been looked upon as a confirmed bachelor, although his lordship is nothing Of a woman hater, but it is hinted that the grim soldier has fallen victim to the charms of the woman who as girl was said to be the most beautiful woman in America and as a woman Is regarded as one of the most tactful, charming women at the British court.
 MT. Joseph Chamberlains 75th birthday recalls a good story of the great states man, which will bear re-telling. For many, years MT. Chamberlain's greatest friend has been MT. Jesse Ceilings, and his friendship. according to MT. Austen Chamberlain, once led to an amusing mis- take. His father and MT. Ceilings had gone for a holiday on the continent and their movements were duly reported in the newspapers One newspaper got tfe names wrong, however, and some of MT.

Magnate's Widow Regarded In Wall

From the New York Press.
 Mrs. Mary Hartman, widow of E. H.. Hartman, the great railroad financier, is regarded in Wall Street as remarka- bly, shrewd. The way she has conversed the estate of her husband since his death has surprised many fnanciers who glad ly would have given her advice and in- cidently have learned something about her stock and bond holdings. To these men Mrs. Hartman has been polite and grateful, but to none of them has she given her confidence. She has been as economical and careful In her manage ment of her husbands estate as she always had been in managing her house. hold.

 "Dearie, don't eat your bread that way. You must eat the crust. not only the insides." said Cousin Peggy. Don't you know, Marie, that bread crusts make you beautiful? Eat the crust, hon. ey, and you'll be beautiful when you're big
 The child did not say anything for a moment. Then she took another piece of bread and carefully picked out the heart of it, laying the crust aside.
 After the meal, she ran to her mother and said: What do you think, mother? ? When Cousin Peggy was little girl she ate nothin but the bread crust and now she thinks she's beautiful"

Prizes for Ugly Girls

Germany is ahead in novelties of a charitable nature. In the town of Haschmann prizes are offered yearly for the men who will marry the ugliest and most crippled women. and for the wo- men over 10 who have been tilted at least twice. The money was left by big financier who. realizing that beauty is an attraction hard to overcome, made a provision in his will that of the income of the fund not less than E16 shall go with the ugliest girl in any year, and thu cripple shall receive G12. The poor wo- men over 40 who have been tilted by a lover receive, when the funds permit, f10 each, but the trustee can vary this amount and at his own direction offer larger prize to some one who will marry an unusually ugly girl, or one to whom nature has been specially unkind.

DRAG AGED MAN FROM
DEATH IN THE BRANDYWINE

Isaiah Cramer, a feeble and aged
man. who is believed TO be more than
so years Of age from his appearance,
was dragged from the Brandywine
Creek near the City Mills pumping
station by employees Of the Water De-
partment, at ? o'clock this morning
The aged man had stumbled into the
stream and his plight was discovered
by Levi J. Dale, colored, employed at
the pumping station as watchman,
who summoned other employees of the
city and they rescued the drowning
man, who was afterward taken to the
police station
Cramer was unable to give much
information about himself except that
his name was Isaiah Cramer. In his
hat, however, was found a card con-
tanning this name and also the ad-
dress, No. zoe Cedar avenue, Yeadon.
This is a small town in Pennsylvan-
ia and the police today got into COM
and they will come after him this af-
ternoon. It seems that Cramer has
a habit of wandering off and this time
he got further than he ever did. 1t

MIR. BANNING NOT
TO BE CANDIDATE

In speaking of the presidency Of
Council today, President of Council
James L. Banning, when asked if he
would again be a candidate for the
Office said he had no expectation Of
being a candidate. He gave no rea-
sons and it is believed that he is
no longer interested in politics to the
extent of running for office.
While several candidates are in the
field for the office of mayor on the
Democratic side. there seems to be a
lack Of candidates for the position Of
President of Council. Two men were
mentioned for that Office, but one de-
MED that he was a candidate. This
leaves but one, who is being seriously
talked of in connection with the posi-
tion and this is Samuel Slessinger
a well-known business man.
