SIee'al Cable to Ths Washington Herald
London, Sept. 6-Mrs Oliver ! P.
Belmont, the Duchess Of Marlborough s
mother. is now one of the leaders Of the
English suffragists, and one Of the mill
tants at that. But she leads in their
councils, not in the field in open conflict.
Every one wondered why Mrs. Pank-
hurst should select so mundsn ne a spot
as gay DeauviIle for a rest cure, but
the secret is now out. Mrs. Belmont has
a villa there.
In that villa many councils OF four
have been held, composed OF Mrs. Bel
mont, Mrs. Pankhurst, Miss Christobel
Pankhurst. and Miss Annie Kenney. their
faithful lieutenant.
Mrs Belmont, who has loudly ex-
pressed her scorn of the barbarous Eng
lish methods OF dealing with the suffra-
gists, has declared il was the proudest
moment Of her life when Mrs Pankhurst
accepted her invitation. she Immediately
offered to help the cause H. any way pos
sible- She made some valuable sugges-
tions, and, in consequence, has been ad-
mitted to the innermost secrets Of the
Engli1h leaders

London. Sept. 6-Prince Albert. the
Kings second son. the sailor prince" Is
delighted by the news that he Will take
up his duties as midshIpmAn on H. NJ. s.
Collingwood in ten days.
The prince returned from a six months
cruise on II. NJ. S. Cumberland last July.
For a while everything was just as II
should be in the royal family circle, but
now a decided jRrring note is sounding
loudly. Prince Albert. who is nearly
eighteen, inherited all mis- mothers
strongmindedness. Independent and in
tensely keen on work. he chsfes severely
under the restraining influence which
Queen Mary brings to bear heavily on
her children.
Rebels on Clothes.
One very sore POINT over which the
prince defied his royal mother recently
concerned the vexed question of clothes.
Albert has just reached the age which
pays great heed TO socks, ties. and
creased trousers. Soon after his return
he ordered a new outfit from the tailors
and hosiers who supply the Prince OF
Wales.
Wales is allowed to buy such things
for himself now. The arrangement was
that all AIbert's purchases were to be put
on his elder brothers S accounts. but by
an error one of the bills was sent to the
King, and the whole conspiracy was dis
covered.
Younsster Has His Way.
Queen Mary, who had been going
through the Princes wardrobe and send
ing various garments to the cleaner, in
sisted that he wear out his old clothes
and return the new ones. The prince
boldly said he was jolly well going to
dress as he liked. and would not go about
in patched-up rags as David used to
David being the Prince of Wales, VIM
was OF a very submissive nature.
In the end Albert had his own way,
this being the first time Queen Mary has
been known to be worsted.

SreEsG Cable TO The Washington Herald
London, Sept 6-About Sl,662, 800 OF
jewels, gold, and bonds have been stolen
during the last eighteen months by the
members of a gigantic international
trust of jewel thieves.
OF all these immensely valuable gems
few have been recovered, despite the
earnest and sagacious efforts of the de-
tectives Of seven countries-America,
England. Russia, Belgium, France, Hol-
land, and Germany.
These astounding statements are made
on the authority of the highest officials
Of Scotland Yard. They say that the
search for Max Mayors $4,000 pearl
necklace, stolen In transit by registered
mall from London to Paris last July, re-
vealed the existence of this international
trust Of Jewel thieves.
The trust comprises at least six bands
OF scientific thieves. In the actual rob-
cries, each band works by itself: they
combine only to dispose of their spoils.
Two OF the bands are American, one is
composed mainly Of Russians, another OF
Partsians, and third OF Englishmen.
Inc scotland Yard detectives assert
the bands combined two years ago. 30
that they might find neNmarkets, and so
outwit the police of Europe and Amer
lea, who had learned where they sold
their loot.
How PIunder Is Sold.
said Scotland Yard inspector TODAY:
Ihere is no business so profitable as
that OF jewel-thieving on a wholesale
scale. and, accordingly, the appointment
OF nifty or so trustworthy agents IN tha
hltherto> unexploited cities of far-off con-
tnents, though expensive for one or two
gangs to attempt alone. became a simple
proposition for half a dozen to handle

Very much like all the rest Of them. the Skagway fire department had a very modest beginning. Way back in 1897, when the city was SO young that it had just began Co take notice. when but few build inEs were completed and others rapidly building. it was deemed a wise thing to organize some sort Of fire protection. The Skagway river bovled along then as cheer fully as it does now; underlying the townsitc. at a depth Of from five to ten feet, there was plenty of water into which wells had been sunk. That river and those wells, with a dozen or SO buckets, consti- tutsd the first fire department of Skagway. Captain Robinson was chosen fine chief. and there are a number of people living fin the city today who did heroic service under his gallant leadership.
 The next year a hook and ladder company was formed with Captain Morse at the head. Soon after a serious fire broke out in a barn be- longing Co J. NJ. Tanner, and the new company responded to the call for help. The hook and ladder and the buckets were brought into play but the barn burned to the ground Then followed fire at the White Pass offices and that structure also went up ir smoke, notwithstanding the Fireman Worked Like Demons"
 About that time general fire company was organized which incor' porated the bucket brigade and the
