Lichfeld on Thursday. spoke on that

follows:
Any one who has ever studied the
life Of Johnson must feel that he is
greater than anything he ever wrote.
He was man of many prejudices. and
among them was a dislike Of Ameri

nounced as his more renowned antip-
athy for Scotsmen. Time. however.

Americans are now paying him homage
because OF his distinction in the world
OF letters"
In the evening an Oldtime supper or
Johnsonian fare was served, this being
followed by big bowls Of punch, church
warden pipes and good fellowship OF
eighteenth century vintage.
The Pail Mall Gazette" says: THE
distinguished feature of the day was
that the Johnson Society bestowed Its
presidential honors upon the American
Consul General. and 1t is a gracious
sign OF the times that this mutual trib-
ute should be exchanged with rep

add that it must not be thought that the
King is a domestic cipher. On the con-
trary, he gives closest attention to the
details of the education Of his children
and when he thinks 1t necessary insists on
having his own way.
The appointment Of Major Cadogan as
companion to the Prince of Wales is
given as an example of this. This APP
pointment was made on the suggestion
OF Lord ROsebery, whom the King fire.
quently consults and II is TO be inferred
from the way in which Sir Edward speaks
of the appointment that it was objected
TO by Queen Mary.
1t is well known that the King has few
intimate friends among the ladies Of the
court. and Sir Edward remarks that so
far from being a ladies' man. as King
Edward was. King George is completely
Indifferent to the fair sex apart from his
wife and daughter. His interests apart
from his state duties lie principally with
his children and in agriculture. He would
be perfectly happy as a private gentle
man bringing up his children. who come
to him with the utmost frankness and
trustfulness on all occasions. while he
idolizes his daughter. who sometimes
rather cleverly takes advantage OF his
goodness and manages TO evade the more
stern behests of her mother
Next TO his children the King best likes
agriculture. but he has practically no time
for this. He would have made a capital
country gentleman. but he would never
have been an NJ. r. H., for he is not keen
on hunting and has not particularly
good seat when riding.
LAS he advances in middle age, though
he has no tendency TO corpu!ence. the
King finds an increasing need for exer-
else. which is why he not only rides every
day when in London, but generally man
ages to obtain a set of lawn tennis. In
deed In the grounds of Buckingham Pal
ace he has often had as many as half a
dozen sets in an afternoon. He is not
good server. but is strong when close 10
the net, though he moves rather slowly
Golf possesses no interest for him, and
though he once in a way plays hundred
up at billiards, he can seldom make a
break of twenty. OF course. his supreme
sport is shooting, at which he eXcels.
His majesty is a most abstemious man,
not fond of champagne, but as rule
drinking a light white wine or whiskey
well diluted in Perrier. The King loves
good English cheese, both at luncheon
and when he is dining quietly. lie likes
a choice, somewhat mild cigar, and ii is
not unusual for him 10 consume dozen

London. Sept. 2O.-Robert ]. Wynne.
former Consul General AT Lopdon and
Postmaster General In President
Roosevelt's Cabinet. before sailing on
the Baltic on Thursday said that he
had investigated the outlook for Eng
lish and European representation at
the Panama Pacific Exposition. He
thought the outlook Lad. but believed
that It was not too late IN remedy II.

ing necessary and the dignity 10 mako
Europe understand the interest which
the American government takes in the
success OF the exposition. think Il
committee made up from the members
OF the House and Senate Foreign Re
lations committees would be best suited
10 the purpose.
The committee need only remain In
Europe short time. which would not
interfere with their return for the next
session Of Congress. Their purpose
would be only 10 impress Europe with
the official character Of the exposition,
but on their return to America there
should be left in each European coun-
try heads Of bureaus who would imnic-
diately organize an educational cam
paign and supply every kind Of data re-
garding the exposition.
I'm fact, a comprehensive and scien-
tihc campaign on behalf Of the EXPOSE
ton ought TO be organized immedi-
ately or the matter dropped. The com
mission which was here last year did
fine work. but It was not followed UP,
and that is the trouble now"

TO TEACH Us GARDENING
Mrs. Philip Martineau, Of Lon.
don, Coming to United States.
AN AUTHORITY ON SUBJECT
Will Advise Americans How TO
Cultivate Plants Not Now
Grown Here.
fBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, Sept. 20.-One Of the most
eminent authorities on herbaceous
plants In England. Mrs. Philip Mar
tineau, will sail on the Olympic next
Wednesday to visit several friends in
the United States. Mrs. Martineau.
whose book on herbaceous plants at.
tracted great attention in garden low
ing England, will advise several am
bilious American gardeners how 10
raise plants not now known in the
United States.
The first visit she will pay will be
to the home Of some old friends, Mr..
and Mrs. John Munro Longyear. Of
Brookline, Mass. Mr.. Longyear is re-
capitalist who objected because a rail-
road ran too near his house, so he re-
moved the entire house, stone by stone,
TO the new site.
''I've been in the United States twice
and am very much enamoured OF that
country" said Mrs. Martineau to-day.
1T is not possible for me to CRIT
else the design Of American gardens,
for their design Is far ahead Of
our own gardens. The only trouble
with American gardens Is that the
people have not studied as yet how to
raise plants. l want to try 70 inter-
est the people in their own gardens, 20
that they will not leave the selection OF
plants to their hired gardeners, but
take interest In them themselves, and
after a while each garden will reflect
its owner.
1T struck me queerly that I could
take long motor rides in America, for
instance from Brookline to Worcester,
and not see many gardens. while here
In England every workman's cottage
has a garden even II It is very tiny.
Why, when in Scotland the other day
I saw one garden where a solid rock
had been hewn out three feet and then
earth put in its place.
II don't say this 10 make an odiopx
comparison. and believe the Americans
love flowers quite as much as the Eng
lsh do. 1t is only that they are just
beginning to have time to think about
them. All this time they have been
building houses; now they are begin
ming TO beautify them.
1T is said sometimes that all Eng
lsh flowers can't grow in the United
States because OF the different climate.
Well. the finest phlox I ever saw grew
in New England. and II you can raise
phlox you can raise anything"
Mrs. Martineau. who is very we'll
known in London society and sister
OF Lady Maitland, will lecture on her
work in New York under the auspices
Of the Civic Forum. Her book. which
will be issued by the Putnems, OF New
York, is regarded as a standard work
here already, and has a complimentary
introduction by W. Robinson, Eng
lands greatest authority on gardening.
Queen Alexandra, the Princess Royal
and others wrote her notes OF thanks
after reading the volume. which was
her first effort, as she issued IL merely
from the viewpoint Of an enthusiastic
amateur gardener who for some years
had been experimenting with her own
gardens at Hurst Park, Berkshire.

GBy Cable 10 The Tribune.

London. Sept. 20.-The arrangements
for the Connaught-Fife wedding are
still subject to alterations. The latest
announcement is that the King Will
give away the bride. There was an
idea that the Princess Royal might do
Gu hut she is still very nervous. and II
has been decided that the ordeal would
be too trying for her.
This is the first royal wedding to
take place in England since the pres
ent King came to the throne and their
maiesties are taking very sympa-
thetic interest in II. The queen mas
given way and Princess Mary will be
a bridesmaid after ALL but the Prince
Of Wales will not be best man, as has
been suggested, because there Is never
a best man at royal weddings.
The full list of bridesmaids has not
vet been settled upon. a statement
that Lady Mary Cecil. youngest daugh-
fer of the Marques OF Salisbury would
be among the number was very quickly
contradicted through the society
papers. There will be no street pro-
cession. but it is said that some OF the
side pews in ST. James's Chapel will be
removed and sloping stands erected, SO
that all can see. Space is very limited
indeed. and the various European
courts have not been asked to send rep
rcsentatives.
All the members OF the royal family
in England have, Of course. been In
vited. as well as those sovereign roy
alties or their representatives which
are Of the immediate family connec-
tons. 1t is probable that the King and
Queen of Denmark and the Crown
Prince and Princess of Sweden will at
tend in person.
Sir Douglas Dawson. who has prin-
Cipal charge OF the arrangements. Is
frankly bored with it all. He dropped
into chair at Balmoral the other
night and said he would knock down

From The Tribune correspond.nt I

London, Sept. l3.-Intimate personal de-
tails Of the private life OF King George
are given in The Liverpool Daily Post"
by writer who signs his articles From
a Club Window" II is generally under
stood that the author Of these articles is
Sir Edward Russell, and they may there
fore be taken as well informed One of
the last statements that Sir Edward makes
in his article might well go at the front.
for il explains many of the other observa-
tions He says:
The King is, of course, served by a
marvelously efficient staff OF secretaries,
but he conscientiously investigates every
thing. and he is not man Of quick APP
prehension, which renders his task the
more onerous."
And again: Those around him are well
aware of the obstinate tenacity OF his
opinions. and nothing modifies his view
of a thing except on the grounds of public
utility
And still further: "He has very little
leisure for reading beyond what he de-
votes to studying the daily papers, but
when he takes up a book 1t is never q
novel, but a volume of geographical ex.
ploration, and he is fond Of studying the
reports Of the Geographical Society
After reading these. 1t is interesting to
learn that nothing during his reign has
irritated King George so much as the
militant suffragette movement and that
ne speaks of this movement with bitter
contempt, departing in doing so from his
usual rule of not giving an opinion on the
controversial topics Of the day.
These first paragraphs also throw an
Interesting light on the statement that
the King is a most domesticated man and
the kindest Of fathers but II is no secret
that the queen has the main voice in d.
recting the trend Of the education OF their
children. though Sir Edward hastens &c
