ROME, Sept: 27.-The inhabitants
OF Como are making hero of Porter
charlton, much as Canadians did of

young men with guitars and man
oollns gathered outside the San Don

lated literally, was as follows:
The heavens are limipd,
And the moon shines amid the stars.
The lake smiles,
Surrounded by high mountains,
But thou, poor innocent,
Art behind the bars.
The police soon interfered and dis
persed the singers. The authorities
are determined to keep Charlton alb
solutely alone, in order to preserve
MIN from all morbid curiosity seek

what some persons regard as ex-

Interpreters and the doctor of the
prison are the only persons from out
side who see him, and they refuse to
0 open their lips about him. A large
mail arrives for Charlton daily from
friends and admirers, but only a
small part reaches him, as everything
is read by an interpreter and passed
on by a magistrate, the latter of
whom suppresses what he regards not
convenient" for the prisoner to see.
The prisoner is in a good state OF
health and takes an hours exercise
every day in the open court of the

among other things, a punching bag,
which he attacks furiously.
His meals, which are served by the

1t will be remembered that the Rus

LACQUER VASES

Wonderful Specimens of Shen

Crowds of Collectors.
Special Gable to The American.

LONDON, Sept. 27.-Very little is
known about the famous gold lac
quer of Foochow. In consequence OF
the unrest and trouble through which
China has been passing a collection
of this lacquer has found its way to
London for the first time
Debenham and Freebody, in Wig
more street, w, are now exhibiting
a special collection of these unique
and superb works of Chinese art.
Hundreds aof people are going to
see the ware daily. A representative
of The Sunday American called there
this afternoon, when some of the
most beautiful specimens were shown
and explained. The pieces, for the
most part, run in pairs with prices
from $75 to $500. one or two Of the
large single Jars are valued at $1,000
or more.
A word as to the origin of this
lacquer is needed TO comprehend the
full significance of its value. The
gold lacquer of Foochow takes its
origin from Shen Shoa An, the great
Chinese artist, who lived 500 years
ago in Focchow, the capital of Fo-
ken Province, South China.
Shen Shao Ans patent was due to
the discovery Of combining pure gold
with certain pigments and rosin OF
trees, which, being placed upon spe-
cially prepared wood and reacted
upon by the atmosphere, produced
the most beautiful and curious color
effects. equal in lustTs and beauty TO

They were softer in tone. however,
and of SURPRISING smonthness.
Though legions of experts the world
over have been endeavoring to I'M
ravel the secret of this wonderful art
the Shen family have retained it for
three centuries and no one has yet
successfully minated the famous
"Shen Shao An" lacquer, which still
stands at the head of Chinese art.

LONDON, Sept 27.-Queen Alex

the aoings Of various royal couples
newly married or engaged, and her

kind OF honeymoon palace.
Among those who viii visit her are

TO adopt the title Don Manuel and
Donna Augustine de Rriganza, and
Prince Arthur Of Connaught and the

their residence in their town house in
Mount street until December.
King George is most anxious that
the Connaught wedding shall be q
family affair rather than a public

riously worrying the King and Queen,
who wish to avoid any display in the
streets. 1t is therefore, decided that

Among the many wonderful we'd

already received, none has given her
more pleasure than the historic gold
ornaments presented to her by her
grandmother, Queen Alexandra.
These ornaments are of Oriental
workmanship and very old. They

and she dislikes continental travel
Probably, therefore, the honeymoon

recently established her right after a
sensational suit to a major portion
of the immense fortune of Sir John
Murray Scott, to-day faces being
baked in her highest ambition.
Her only daughter, Miss Victoria

planned a marriage to a man with a

Fought Against Marriage.
The marriage is one which a dow
erless debutante of no particular fam
lily connections would consider brill
liant and Lady Sackville fought
against it with all the tenacity and
force of her character.
What that force is can be esti-
mated when it is remembered that as

when her father was British Ambas-
sador she conceived the plan of mar
rying her first cousin and then secur-
ing him and herself in the possession
of her fathers title and estates by
exposing her own mothers past life
as a Spanish dancer who had not the
slightest bond to the father of her
children and consequently no claim
to the estate of the diplomat.
She beggared her brother and sis
tiers with apparently as much indif-
ference as she besmirched her moth
er's name, and the audacity and skill
by which she won the greater part Of

Shortly before the trial she confded
to a friend that she was now arriv-
ing at the goal of all her ambitions,
which was to make her daughter a
great heiress and then arrange a bril-
liant marriage.
Miss Victoria Sackville- West is ex-
tremely pretty and unusually inter-
esting. With the remarkable ability
Of her mother to plan her future, she
might easily have been a duchess
But right in the midst of the trial
she announced her engagement to
young Nicholson. Her mother print
ed denials, but the young woman has

had at last to admit defeat and make
the best of il.
The bridegroom elect is good
looking young man Of 26. and he has
a minor diplomatic post in COnstan-
tiuOple, where he will take his bride
after the brilliant nuptials.
