QUEEN IS INCENSED
Her Majesty Lets It Be Known That SuDpOrt of Movement Will Result in Social Ostracsm of the
 Offending Person.

l London, July 25.-The publication of the lists of wealthy subscribers to the militant suffragette fund has re- | vealed the extent to which the Wo- mems Social and Political Union has | been supported by society women. And what is more, the lists have provided decidedly interesting reading for Queen Mary, who has taken drastic action.
 Female equerries have spent a busy week in paying informal calls upon | the titled and untitled women figuring l in the lists and pointed intimation has been given that the queen views ! with the greatest disfavor the dona- | tion of financial fuel to the suffrag- l cite fire.
 Moreover I learn open support of the movement will in future result in l a condition of social ostracism for the offending women. But that is not likely to stop the steady and strong flow of money into the w. s. P. U. co ! CTS. It is known that many of these drandes danes send anonymous contributions and on the authority of a well-informed court writer learn that the queen has received many surprising confessions from women of high rank.
 Some of them have told Queen Mary that they have been forced to give money to the wild women-or the ''furies" as they are now called as sort of insurance against out rages. Such blackmail has naturally alienated all sympathy in court cir cles and Queen Mary would be the happiest woman in London if some means of subduing the militants could be devised. It is openly admit ted that the court has not a very high opinion of the way in which the home secretary, MT. McKenna, has ! handled a very difficult situation. His wife, who was formerly Miss Pamela 1 Jekyll, is keen non-militant suffrag- | ist an dher view is that the only cure lies in the granting of the vote to women. And behind McKenna's len l tent treatment of the militants there l is evidence of the influence of Pamela, which is only another instance of the l truism that the hand which rocks the cradle rules the British government.
 In militant circles there has been high celebration of the success of Dr.. Ethel Smyth, one of their most ard ent leaders, who has just been in formed that two of her operas are to be produced in Germany next year.
 Dr. Smyth is the composer of "The March of the Women" and the battle song of the w. s. P. U. and has taken a particularly active part in the suf- frage movement.
 1 England may wait for generation before she gets queen so dear to the hearts of her people as Dowager Queen Alexandra, the late King Ed wards consort. She has now forged another link in the chain of loving esteem which binds her to the people. In aid of the Queen Alexandra Hos artificial roses in the streets of Lon don. There was no demand for the wares of the ordinary street flower sellers and her Majesty noted this fact as she drove through the city. Equerries were sent out from Marl- borough house and with the aid of the police full list of the flower-sellers who had suffered by the Alexandra day competition was compiled and submitted to the queen. To each of them she sent dollar by way off compensation. We are promised sensational devel- opments in the science of aerial navi- gation an dby such a supposedly un- scientific person as coal-miner at that. He halls from the northern county of Northumberland, his name is William Glendinning.
 He has explained his ideas to some | of the principals of the great arma- ment firm of Sir w. G. Armstrong, Whitworth & Co.,, and they were so impressed that the company will de- velop his invention.
 He declares that machine built from his designs even though it weigh ed more than thirteen tons, could sail around the world without the slight est risk of mishap and that it could remain aloft for five days without re- quiring renewal of supplies.
 Glendinnning has spent most of his | life in the study of aeronantics. and he is the only working miner who has been electe da member of the Balloon Society of Great Britain.
