KING GEORGES CLUB.
His Approaching Coronation Lends In
terest to the Famous Marlborough.

The Marlborough Club is an UMPIRE
tentious building in Pail Mall, -of mod
crate dimensions. simply but comfort
ably furnished, and capable OF accom-
modating only a limited number Of
members. This place says the New
York Tribune. was originally chosen
on account of its proximity to MARI
borough House, and it is needless TO
say that from its inception tue then
Prince of Wales took the keenest in
terest in all its circumstances and with
everything connected with it's well be
ing. He himself selected all the noble
men and gentlemen TO form the erigi-
nal members. Every rule was framed
under his approval, and even the mi
nor matters regarding the appointment
and service of the institution were
within his knowledge and with MS
consent.
Until the day of his death King Ed
ward maintained Athe closest touch
with the lie Of TIN club, although his
accession, and merc especially after
his removal to Buckingham Palace, he
no longer frequented 1t with the same
assiiuity as he formerly did. but the
candidates list always remained his
special care.
As Prince of Wales King Edward
used the club constantly. Indeed,
during his residence in London he
might have been seen there almost
daily. He diaed there frequently be-
fore going TO the play. and on his re-
turn from the theater was often To be
seen in the club dealing with cores
pondenee and engaged in conversation
with his friends or watching a game
of billiards.
Cards have not keen feature of the
Marlborough Club for the last 40 years.
In the early seventies certain
amount of whist Vas played at high
points. but the coterie which played
this game soon broke up. and bowls
and a fine bowling alley were the
vogue for long sequence of years.
1t may be said that the Marlbor-
cugh Club combines many of the at
tributes of the leading clubs Of Lon
don. such as the turf. Travellers, St
James and Bachelors and adds to
them speciality of it's own. OF course
a large number of the members are at
tached more or less directly to various
royal households, but the whole of the
corps diplomatique are either temper
AIRY or permanent members. 1t. OF
course. possesses that feature peculiar
to English club life which is seldom
to lie seen in institutions in any other
capital in Europe-that is, domestieity.
There is an all-pervading sense of
comfort quiet and repose. The SER
vice of attendants is admirable, and
the cuisine simple and refined. The
Marlborough Club extends special hos
pitality to distinguished visitors i'll
Lon'lon, and at times interchanges
hospitality with the Turf and the
Guards club
Its present president and patron.
King George, is not nearly so addicted
to club life as was his illustrious IA
ther. bat the Marlborough Club re-
mains under his special protection,
and its we'll being is matter of very
real interest to him. As Prince Of
Wales he often visited it, but his resi-
denee at buckingham Palace is likely
to make his visits to the club in the
future few and far between, -.-Pittsburs

The biggest and most costly ball

prospects looked very bright for the

we cannot tell what the yields WI be- -

That the young woman was denied
recognition in Annapolis society is a
disgrace to the institution, a disgrace

TAFT TALKS OF ARDUOUS
WORK OF A CONGRESSMAN
By AssocIated Press,

New York, April 2S.-The arduous
work of a member of congress was the
text Of the concluding address by Pres
ident Taft on his flying two days visit
to New York. He talked about the
congressman for half an hour at an
uptown banquet hall just before he
was whirled away to take his early
morning train for Washington. The
occasion was a dinner to former Con-
gresham ]. Van Vetchen Olcott, who
was swept out Of office by a Demo-
cratic rival in the last election.
The work of a congressman" said
the president, lis not easy-not If he
does all that his constituents expect
him to do in the way of errand run
ming and at the same time all that his
oath requires him to do in the way of
preparation for his duties. Committee
work does not shine conspicuously be-
fore the public, but it is hard, absorb
ing study and the good representatives
| of the people are frequently appre
ciated at home because the real work
in congress is not always nor generally
done on the floor and does not shine in
the record.
''Of course there is a good deal of
loafing among congressman. as there
is among other people. but the keep
ing up with committee reports, the
voting as one ought to vote, the inves-
LEGATIONS that have to be made, are a
burdensome task.
And when you get a good congress
man, let me tell you. it is your duty TO
send him back as often as you get the
opportunity. The congressman who
come TO Washington for their first
session are. perforce, obliged to mark
time, to prepare themselves to be use
full later and they ought to be sent
not for one term. but for ten terms, il
they are properly to represent their
! constituents"

Where Work
Is Dishonorable.

In this country which is supposed to
be the land of the free and the home
of the brave" comes the report from
one of the government schools that a
young man was told to discontinue his
attentions to a young woman because
abe was only working girl.
The outcome has not been reached
but it will unquestionably end in the
